"Happy Birthday, Willow," exclaimed Buffy excitedly handing her red headed friend her present.
"Thank you, Buffy, Hi, Angel," Willow greeted her best friend and her new friend as she invited them in. "Tellsha and Xander are in the kitchen trying to see who can eat the most popsicles without getting a brain freeze," she chatted giving them a curious smile.
"That sounds like something they do," commented Buffy laughing. She loved birthday parties, and she like the fact that Angel had come with her. At first he wasn't going to come, but after she begged him a little he gave in. Makoto had told her she had him wrapped around her little figure all ready, whatever that meant.
"Angel, hey," yelled Xander jumping off the chair he had been sitting in. "What do you think?" he said indicating the twelve popsicles he had eaten. "Tellsha is only on her six one and she is starting to get a head ache," he taunted looking over at Tellsha who at the moment gave him a smirk before finishing her six popsicle.
"Hey, Buffy," said Tellsha wiping her mouth with her white sleeve shirt. "Want to go see what Willow's parents bought her?" she asked losing interest in the Popsicle challenge.
"Yeah, lets go, you want to come, Angel?" asked Buffy turning to the brown eye boy, who was talking to Xander about something.
"No, thanks, I'm going to hang out with Xander," replied Angel politely. "I'll see you when it's time for cake," he promised Buffy before running with Xander outside to play army with the rest of the boys from their class.
"They're going to get all dirty," Kendall Eve, a girl from Buffy's class, commented walking up to the group of three girls. "Hi, Buffy, hi Tellsha, Happy Birthday Willow," she said greeting each girl. "I love your house, Willow," she commented in an upper sounding voice. "Mommy says that your parents are almost as rich as Buffy's parents are," she said smiling. One thing about Kendall was she like money, and she was nice to all who had it.
"I guess," responded Willow really not interested in talking about money at all. She liked Kendall, but money was not her idea of a fun subject," You want to come with Buffy, Tellsha, and I to see what my parents bought me for my birthday?" she offered kindly.
"You know what," said Kendall," I would, but I see Greenlee over at the pool and I completely forgot to tell her about how Angel talks to me the other day. He is cute, for a boy," she commented before walking off.
"He doesn't like girls like that," yelled Buffy after Kendall. "We're seven, how can she possibly think Angel would want to be her girlfriend," she complained turning around on her heels to face to very surprised and smirking friends. "What?" she asked getting unease with the looks they were giving her.
"Buffy, you're jealous," Tellsha pointed out with a giggle. "You like Angel," she said matter of fact.
"Yeah, so what?" asked Buffy confused. "You two like him too," she pointed out as she started to walked towards Willow's bedroom.
"Yeah, we do," agreed Willow," but we like him as a friend you want him to be your boyfriend," she teased playfully.
"Gross," Buffy said sticking her tongue out. "Boys are friends, they're not boyfriends at least not until we're thirteen. Spike says I can't date until I'm thirty and Riley said the same thing," she explained as Willow opened her bedroom door.
"Well, My Mommy says that there's this thing called puppy love and it happens to people when they reach ten and up," explained Willow as the girls followed her into her room.
"Well I'm only seven, so I don't have puppy love," Buffy stated not liking were this was heading. "Angel and I are just friends, and I don't like Kendall very well," she huffed as she sat down on Willow's 'Little Mermaid' Bed.
"Okay, we'll drop it," replied Tellsha when she noticed that her best friend was starting to get annoyed with them," and for the record I don't like Kendall very much either, she's always so mean to people who don't have money. I mean money is so not the most important thing in the word," she stated flopping down beside Buffy. "So, Willow, show us what you got," she told her red headed friend.
"This," Willow said opening her walk in closest to relieve a three foot Barbie house. It was pink and white and had real lights, and sounds. "It's called the 'Barbie Dream House' and Mommy and Daddy bought me these four new Skipper, Kelly, Barbie, and Kevin dolls to go with it," Willow said happily. "You two want to play?" she asked holding onto her new dolls.
"Yeah," Tellsha and Buffy said together hopping off of Willow's bed and ran over to the doll house.
"We can either live in the same house or you each can have your own house," explained Willow indicating her five other doll house.
"I want to live in the palace," claimed Buffy walking over to the blue, purple and white castle. "Willow, can I play with your pricess Skipper doll and your price Kevin doll?" she asked picking the two dolls up.
"I don't care, you two can play with what ever dolls you want," offered Willow sitting down at her new house. "Tellsha, have you decided where you're going to live?" she asked the little girl.
"I'm going to live in the beach house," answered Tellsha sitting down beside Buffy," I like the swimming pool," she stated.
"Let's play," Willow said happily.
The three little girls sat there the rest of the time and played dolls. Only when it was time for cake did they move from their spots. After Willow opened all her presents, the party started to die down. Parents came to pick their children up. Mrs. Summers had showed up to pick Angel and Buffy up from the party, and took them home.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Three weeks later:
"So nothing, huh?" asked Makoto early on Saturday morning as she held a punching bag for Buffy to hit.
"Nothing," complained Buffy. "I tried to tell Spike that Drusilla was a little loopy and he said nothing," she explained using her right hand to hit the bag. "Am I hitting this right?" she asked when she noticed her hand was starting to hurt.
"You're doing great," admitted Makoto putting down the punching bag. "However, you probably need to take a break now. You are quite the determine little student, you know that?" she asked standing up to stretch. "In the past two months you have learned a lot, and you seem to push yourself everyday to learn more," she said proudly. She was so proud of Buffy. For someone so small Buffy had the determination to succeed in whatever she did and to Makoto that was the most important thing a Slayer or a Potential slayer could ever have.
"Angel says that I'm going to be one of the best, but he won't tell me what exactly I'm going to be the best for," commented Buffy taking off the red and white punching gloves she had been wearing. "Do you know what he means, Mako?" she asked looking up at the dark headed slayer.
"He means fighter," replied Makoto simply. "He means if you ever decided to compete in a tournament you're going to do quit well," she added, adding in a little editing here and there. "How about we go to the park today, sound like fun?" she asked when she felt a nice breeze follow through the window of the training room.
"Yeah, let's go," said Buffy excitedly grabbing her change of clothes. "I'll be right back," she said happily before running to change into clean clothes.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Angel, Buffy, stay where we can see you," instructed Makoto later that day as she laid her head down on Kit's shoulder. "This is nice," she commented softly as she felt his arms wrap around her.
"It's nice to be away from all the research for awhile," agreed Kit kissing the top of Makoto's head. "By the way, the Fire demon you took out last night was called Lava, and Merrick wanted me to make sure you knew how proud he was of you and Rem for taking it out," he said referring to the latest minor threat that Makoto had taken care of.
"I'm glad," replied Makoto moving so she had one of Kit's arms around her stomach and the other was busy running gently through her hair. "We still haven't seemed Time Night since that night," she confessed worriedly. "Rem, found the place he had been using last week after a locator spell finally worked, but by the time I got there he was gone," she admitted angry at herself for being so close and yet not succeeding.
"Maybe he decided to leave town," suggested Kit lightly, although deep inside he knew that wasn't the case.
"Or maybe he's waiting for the right time to strike," added Makoto smiling as she saw Buffy tackle Angel. "Hey, little girl's don't tackle," she yelled out to Buffy in a joking tone.
"Yes, we do," Buffy yelled back laughing as she stood up," and we're good at it," she added causing both Makoto and Kit to laugh.
"Come on, Angel," joked Kit," get her," he encouraged as he watched Buffy tag Angel before running off into the jungle gym.
"They are so cute," commented Makoto relaxing some as she watched to two seven year olds run back and forth playing tag. "She's fast," she stated as Buffy caught Angel again without even trying.
"She is," agreed Kit," Now who does she remind me of?" he asked in a curious voice looking down into Makoto's eyes.
"Who?" asked Makoto innocently sitting up so she could give him a sweet kiss.
"Eww, that's gross," Buffy and Angel squealed when they saw Makoto and Kit kissing.
Pulling apart with smiles on their faces the two teenagers turn to look at the little children.
"Gross, huh?" asked Makoto with a huge smile on her face. "I'll show you gross," she teased standing up.
"Run," Angel shouted playfully as Makoto and Kit started to run after them.
"I'm going to tickle you," said Makoto laughing as she picked Buffy up and started tickling the little seven year old blonde.
"No," Buffy squealed having fun. She loved spending time with Makoto, Kit, and Angel. Makoto was like her big sister, and Kit was like her big brother, and Angel, well Angel was becoming her best friend.
They happy group of four played at the park well into the even hours before Makoto noticed it was starting to get dark, and she needed to take Buffy home before Mrs. Summers started wondering where she was.
"Bye, Angel and Kit," Buffy said waving at the two guys who were going in the opposite direction then she and Makoto were.
"See you at home, Mako," Kit said giving his girl one more kiss before taking Angel's hand and leading him away.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"It's kind of dark out," commented Buffy as she held on tightly to Makoto's hand.
"Its okay, Angel Face," Makoto assured her. "There's nothing to be afraid of," she promised noticing the sun had yet to go all the way down. She should have plenty of time to get Buffy home before dark, before she had to go out slaying.
"That's what you think," hissed a venomous voice from the bushes ten yards away. "Is that the little girl?" asked the voice.
"That's her," Lothos replied. "The master wants her brought to him no later then tomorrow night," he instructed," now the older girl she is with is the slayer, she tough, and if you don't watch it she'll kill," he warned handing the venom demon a whip," Do not fail our master," he threatened before he vanished into the night.
'I'll wait until the little girl is alone and grab her then,' the venom demon thought as she slithered his way out of the bushes and into the night.
