Sorry that I haven't uploaded in a while. I was trying to to finish all my credits in school. which I did, so I can finally write in peace. So without any more delay, here you go ;)

usual disclamers: Now if I really owned anything do you think I'd be writing here? Of course not!


"Who are you and what are you doing in my house." I stand up and back up against my sliding glass door. I raise my fists up in a fighting stance.

"Did you hear me the first time. You should warn a guy before you start screaming like that." he then sticks his finger in his ear and does a goofy smile.

"Simon?" I drop my fists and stare. "Is that really you?" I still stand a good distance away.

"In the temporary flesh." he smiles and does a little spin and stops with his foot behind the other and his arms out wide. "What do you think?"

"You look-wow." I say as I walk up and look him over. Hes quit the looker, his brown hair is a little shaggy. His blue eyes stand out against nicely tan skin. He has a bright blinding smile that still has a sense of mischief hidden behind it. I stop and suddenly realize hes also in different clothes. A white over shirt is covering, but not hiding, his nicely shaped chest and arms. He's also waring tight black pants that give shape to his nice-oh, ah. I"m gonna stop there. "Wait, how temporary?"

"I don't really know how long this will last. Maybe an hour, could be all night. I'm sort off testing out a spell overheard once when I was still at the village. I may have to tweak it a little if it doesn't last as long as I want." he then looks down and I could see the blush creeping up his neck. "so do I look funny?"

"No of course not. Your hot. Did you purposely make yourself look like that?"

"No. this is how I would look if I was human." I raise my eyebrow in question. "Okay so I buffed myself up a little but that's all." I continue to stare. "I swear"

"Fine I believe you." I laugh. "Okay since were a little tight on your human time. Lets hit the Bronze" I smile and grab my sweatshirt as I head out the door.

"Wait." I stop and turn to see what he wants only to catch a stake aimed at my head. "Where not in Kansas any more Toto. Just to be safe." I nod and tuck the stake in my right boot.

"Smart thinking." I smile. "Now lets go. I've been waiting for this for a long time"

"This place is very dark." Simon said as we walked through the doors.

"Yeah, I know. I love it." I watched as a couple pushed buy. The music was nice and loud and I watched the stage as we made our way through the crowd. Most Buffy fans dreamed of coming here and I wasn't an exception. The place was full of teens. Some where dancing, some were playing pool, and some were just hanging out.

"So, what do you want to do?" Simon looked at me. I could tell he was eying the dance floor, but I could feel my stomach grumbling.

"I think I'm going to grab a batch of spicy buffalo wings and find a seat. Why don't you go dance I'll watch." I watch as he beams and heads for the dance floor. I know for a fact that he wont have a hard time finding a dance partner.

Even as I'm buying my wings I can see a group of girls walk up to him. I grab my food and head to a table by the stairs. I find a nice table overlooking the dance floor. Many people are dancing and moving with the beat of the music the bands playing.

I notice Simon dancing his heart away with his, wow, hot dance partner. The little devil. I smile and notice Buffy and her friends are here too. I wonder if I'll become friends with them. It would be nice to have friends for a change. Mom might not worry about me so much if I had people to hang out with. I turn my attention back to my food. No wonder Spike liked this stuff so much, it's so good.

I wipe my mouth after I finish the last peace. I then dig in my cup with a spoon and pull out an ice cube to wash my hands with. After I'm satisfied that my hands and mouth are clean enough I turn back to the dance floor only to find my view is blocked. A man is standing right in front of me.

I squirm around in my chair and try to sneak a peek at his face and try to disguise it by taking a gulp of my root beer. I almost choke when I see who it is. Angel.

I look out at the dance floor to see who he's staring at to find, big surprise, Buffy. I laugh a little. He's still in the award, always stalking Buffy stage. Oh wait, he never really grows out off that does he. "Talking to the girl is better than staring. Staring usually means stalker, and stalker usually means creep."

"What" he says and turns his attention to me.

"Oops. I said that out loud didn't I." I say blushing. "I do that some times. Bad habit. Look your a good looking guy and she's pretty so, make with the talky." I say looking down at my food. Please walk away.

"I'm not stalking her." he says shifting on his feet.

"You could of fooled me." god why does my mouth keep moving. I look up at him. " Look, my names Michelle. I'm a girl and I know that girls don't like to be stared at by a hot guy unless he plans on talking to her." I say sipping on my drink. I'm so freaking nervous. For some reason my mouth keeps moving and I can't stop it. I'm just glad that I'm sort of making a little sense. I think.

"I'm not a stalker" he states again as he walks off. I laugh a little as I watch him head off in the direction of Buffy. Wow, I can feel my heart slow as I start to calm down. My first contact with an actual vampire. And I was lucky enough he was a non-killing one. Well at least for the moment. I'm more than a little proud of myself that I actually started talking. Even if it wasn't on purpose. Maybe moving here was a major good thing.

"Hey Michelle, hows it going." I look over to see Simon walking over with a big smile on his face.

"Doing fine actually. Food was awesome, oh and I even called a guy hot." I smiled as he sat down.

"I noticed. Was that who I think it was?" he eyed me.

"Yep. I mad first vamp contact and it made me feel energetic." I look at my watch " look its getting late and we, well, I have more moving to do tomorrow. Why don't we call it a night." I start to stand.

"That's not far. I wanted to dance with you. That's why I came up here, so that I could drag onto the floor and show you off." I smiled and pat his hand.

"Maybe next time. We can always sneak out and come back again. Now come on, time for some well deserved rest." I say pulling on his hand to get him off his chair "Not to mention I don't want to risk having you change back on the dance floor. We dot need that kind of trouble when we just got here." he looks at me and nods as he droopingly stands up and fallows me. Before we leave I turn back to Buffy and her friends. Hopefully we can all become friends.

"So, how was it dancing with that cute blonde?" I asked as we left the Bronze. His grin got real big as he pulled out a peace of paper from his pocket.

"I got her number." I grabbed the paper and gave him a playful swat on the arm.

"You sly dog." I smiled as I looked at the number and then gave it back. "so you going to call her?"

"I don't know yet. Maybe after I get the spell to work perfectly. Till then I'll wait."

"Smart move." I smile. It's weird that a doll is even considering dating, but then again, Sunnydale is the type of place that many people end up in weird relationships. Who knows who he'll end up with. Oh, well.

It's quiet on the walk home. It seems that not many people walk around at night. That's good, that means the people in this town at least are smart enough not to go out at night. I stop as we passed a cemetery. There were twelve in Sunnydale, at least I think there are? That's a lot for such a little town. If I'm gonna live in a town with such a high death rate I should at least know how to defend myself.

"Simon?" I turn towards when he's seen that I've stopped walking.

"Yeah?"

"Do you think you could help me learn to fight better. I want to know how to protect someone if I have to. Not to mention considering that I'm a... well you know."

"I think that sounds good. I don't want you getting hurt anymore." I smiled and continued walking. He follows scratching his neck in thought. "We can start tomorrow if you want. When your mom goes to bed we can sneak out and start your training." that's when it suddenly clicks.

"Your sort of like my watcher aren't you?" I smile.

"Yeah. The PTB figured that if you where going to be a slayer it only made sense that you would need a watcher. And who better than me to do it." I laughed.

"Sounds good. Hey why don't you head home first. I want a little alone time."

"I don't know. I don't like the idea of leaving you alone." he looked around and whispered. "It's not safe."

"I know that. Probably a little more than most people. Look I'll be okay, where only a few blocks away. Not to mention the extra strength and stuff remember. I'll be careful kay."

"Fine, but you better be home in ten minutes." and with that he was gone. Poof, just like that.

"Great now I have two mom's," I kept walking and smiled. Maybe my life wont be so boring anymore. Not like it ever was normal to begin with. I kept walking for a few minutes when I noticed a little tingle run down my back. I I stopped and just concentrated on the odd feeling. It was like someone was running there fingers up and down my spine. It made me extremely uncomfortable. I know I'm not alone.

I have a feeling its Angel and I want to call him out, but that would only make him more suspicious. I wonder if vampires can sense slayers like we can sense them. If so then he already knows somethings wrong with me. So instead I lean down to retie my boot. I know this is a huge risk especially if it's not Angel, but thankfully I'm not charged or attacked and I know my stalker is not deadly. Or at least not at this moment.

I start walking again and boy am I happy that I'm only a few houses away from my place. I'll talk to Simon about it when I get there. Shit, I hope they didn't see him vanish. Damn, we should really be more careful.

As I get closer to my house I see that a few lights are on. I wonder if my cable is up and working yet. I walk a little faster just hoping that the weird tingle goes away. I let out a little sigh as I walk in and lock the door behind me, glad to be inside.

"Simon I'm home safe and sound. No big bad got me." I yell as I notice the mini fridge is still by the door. "Did you take your bed upstairs?" I ask as I grab the fridge by the door and head up stairs.

"Yeah."

"Did you get it set up." I ask as I walk into my room. I notice Simon is sitting on my bed in doll form.

"Sort of. I changed back as soon as I got it up here." he growled. "I am so going to have to tweak the spell. It's not nearly long enough." I smile and put the fridge next to my closet.

"Hey how did you poof over here anyway?"

"Yeah that's easy, but its only certain places like your home or near you. It's so I can watch over you better."

"Weird." I walk over to Simon's bed that's still in the box and open it up. It takes me a few minutes to set it up, but when its finished I take it and place it in the closet. "There. This can be like a makeshift room for you." I smile.

"Thanks."

"Hey Simon. Someone was following me home. I think it was Angel."

"Not good. We should take it easy. You don't want to tell them who you are yet do you?" I shake my head. "Then staying away from Angel is are best option."

"Sounds like a plan. I'm going to take a shower. Be out in a bit." I turn and grab some pj's and head to the bathroom. After a quick shower I walk out and notice Simon's closed the closet door. I yawn and turn off the lights. I'm so tired. Tomorrows another day.


OKay not the best ending, but its still just the first few chapters. More soon.
