As I lay me down Ch. 3 -Virgin state of mind
Buffy and Cordelia sat in the back of their English class passing notes back and forth to each other while pretending to listen to Jonathan give a report on some dead poet.
"She got married to him because she wanted to be a barron lady." Jonathan said from the front of the room.
B- So, what was up with you and Spike last night? -C
C- If I tell you, you've got to swear not to tell Xander or Willow. 'K -B
B- 'K. -C
C- Okay. You see we were fooling around in his car and it got kinda hot and heavy and we were close to... yeah. And then I relized that I'm still a virgin. Yeah, sure, I've got my future body, which isn't, but I'm 16 again, and that means I'm still a virgin. So anyway I told him that, and that I wanted to stop. Well, needless to say that he got really pissed, and he said that he saw how it was, that I didn't want to loose me virginity to him and I said some stuff and we ended up fighting. Then I left the car and he followed and that's when we found you. -B
Cordelia shot Buffy a look of disscust. B- You. And. Spike?!!!!? How? Why? How? -C
C- He's turning out to be a real great guy. And he loves me. -B
B- Well, he did cry a hell of a lot at your funeral. -C
C- He cried at my funeral? -B
B- Oh yeah. But back to the matter at hand. You almost had sex, with him? -C
C- You haven't gotten to know him like I have. He was their for me after my mom died. And he cares for me so much. And I think I'm starting to love him. -B
B- YOU WHAT? -C
C- Breath. I didn't say I do love him, just that I'm starting to. Starting to, that's all. -B
The dismissel bell rang and the girls gathered their stuff and hurried out of class. "You're starting to love him?"Cordelia exclaimed. "Cordy, I told you to breath. I'm not even a hundred percent sure how I feel about him yet." "Him who?"Someone asked from behind them.
Cordelia and Buffy turned around and saw Harmony. "None of you're damn buisness."Buffy said "What are you doing with this freak Cor?"Harmony asked crossing her arms "This freak is a lot more cooler that you. At least she gives a damn about me. More than I can say about some people."
Harmony put on her hurt puppy dog face. "Yes Harm. I'm talking about you." "I give a damn about you." "No you don't! You don't give a damn about me or what I think. It's all you, you, you. No one else matters." "Whatever. You know what, untill you loose the Joan Crawford 'tude you've got don't even think of hanging around with us." "No problem. Why would I want to hang around with whores like you anyway?"
(Buffy's house, later)
Buffy and Willow were spralled out on the couch looking at pictures from Buffy's vacation and listening to Aaliyah's 'Age Aint Nothing But a Number' cd. "Oh my god! Look at you! You're hair is so much lighter now."Willow exclaimed. "You really like them?" "Yes. And you look so much older." Buffy let out a tiny chuckle. Willow was more currect than she knew. "Speaking of older, whatever happened with that guy last night?" "Nothing big." Willow raised an eyebrow as if to say, 'Why don't I believe that'. "Uh-huh." "It's the truth!" "I believe you. So, you doing anything tonight?" "Well, Angel's coming over and we're going to watch a movie." "Oh really. So where are things with you and Angel at the moment?" "We're just friends. That's all either of us wants. I can't follow him around for the rest of my life. I need to move on." "And you know what they say: if you love someone let them go."
Buffy put a small smile on her face and continued looking at pictures. Just then the phone rang.
"Want me to get that?"Willow asked. "Yeah, please." Willow picked up the phone and said,"Hello, Summer's residence...yes she is...one second." She covered up the mouth piece and told Buffy, "It's Randy. He said you know him." "Gimmi."Buffy held out her hand waiting for the phone. "Hey."She said into the phone. "Hi Joan."Spike said on the other end. "God, we are so pathetic." "I'm sorry for last night." "It's okay."Buffy told him, "I shouldn't have gotten so mad about what you said. You had a right." "No I didn't. So, anyways, what are you doing tonight?" "Angel's coming over and we're going to watch a movie." "The poofer's coming over?" "Spike, come on don't be jelous." "Why shouldn't I be jelous about you're ex spending time with you? Is Joyce going to be over there?" "No, she's working late tonight. But she does know that he's coming over." "Oh." Buffy could hear him growl on the end of the phone. "Don't be like that, we're just friends now." "Just friends. That's a laugh. I've said it once and I'll say it again: you'll never be friends." Buffy let out a groan of frustration. "You drive me crazy! Look, I'll talk to you later Okay." "Okay." "Bye." "Bye."
Buffy hung up the phone and laid her head down on Willow's lap and began to cry. "You want to talk about it?"Willow asked quietly. Buffy shook her head 'no' and continued crying. "Oh Buffy."
(Buffy's living room, later) Buffy and Angel were seated on the couch watching the ending dance scene of Dirty Dancing. "I still don't understand why girls go crazy over this movie."Angel stated taking is eyes off the screen. "Angel! This movie is every girls dream. Who wouldn't love to dance with Patrick Swazy?" "I just don't get it that's all." "It's not a man thing that's all." The movie ended and Buffy hit the re-wind button. Angel got up and put on his coat on and began to walk to the door. As he walked he whisled the first line of Bye Bye Bye and Buffy attomaticly knew that he had came back too. She started laughing out loud. "What?"Angel asked. "You. I never would have pictured you as an 'N Sync fan, that's all."she told him "How did you..."Angel asked surprised. "I came back to. Oh, not just me. Your bestest best friend in the world Spike and also Cordellia." "Cordy's here?" "Yep." "Wow" was all Angel was able to say.
As I lay me down ch. 4-Tainted Love
Cordeila and Buffy were seated in the library around the table explaining to Giles that Angel had come back also.
"And you still have no clue how this happened?"he asked pouring them some tea. "Nope."Cordelia answered. "I may have an idea."Buffy said catiously. "What is it?" Both, the librarian and the May Queen asked. "I went to this therapist, and I kinda wished that I could go back to my Junior year of high school. I wasn't serious about it though." "That still doesn't explain why Spike, Angel and I came back too,though."Cordelia said running her hands threw her hair. "I want the four of you to come here tonight so we can try and figure out what's up." "Sure thing."
(History class,later)
Their class was having a free-day so, Buffy and Willow sat on the top of their desks talking about anything in general. "So, what happened with Angel last night?"Willow asked curiously. "You really want to know?"Buffy asked digging threw her purse for some gum. "Yes!"Willow exclaimed. "We had sex." "What? No way." "Yeah. It was compleatly meaningless mind blowing sex." "For real?" "No! We just hung out." "Oh. Just ruin all my fun why don't you." They both laughed while Cordy came and nearly passed out on the floor. "How can they make hacky sack look so easy?" "Years of pracise?"
An announcement began to come over the intercom and the whole room,quieted down, at least somewhat. "Sorry to interupt your classes teachers..."Snyder began "Oh God."Buffy moaned under her breath. "...this year's talent show is coming up. So, if you want to be in it, sign up in the library with Mr. Giles. That is all."he continued. "God, another talent show?"Willow whinned. "I'm thinking of signing up."Buffy told them. "You what?" Willow asked. "What would your talent be: stake twirling?"Cordelia joked. "No. Singing." "Singing?"Both the girls asked "With Spike." "That's a wonderful idea."Cordelia said sarcasticly. "Who's Spike?"Willow asked
(Library that night)
Angel was seated around the table with Cordelia on his lap, and with Buffy and Spike beside him. The table was covered with all the books that Giles had on Wishes and Time Travel. While Giles talked on the phone with Jenny to see if she could find out anything about Time Travel and wishes on-line, Buffy tried evortlessly to talk Spike into performing with her at the talent show.
"Please Spikey?"She begged. "No." "Spikey, I won't stop calling you Spikey untill you agree to help me. So, you've got to help me. Spikey." He was on his last nerve, "No!" "Pleeeaaasssseeee? Spikey pleasssssseeeeee?"She whinned "Fine!"He gave up. She wasn' t going to quit untill she got her way. "Thank you!"She squeeled with glee giving him a hug. "I just got off the phone with Ms. Calender,"Giles said coming out from his office "she said that right off hand she can't think off anything but she's going to ask around on-line if anyone knows anything." "Isn't"Cordelia said getting up from her seat on Angel's lap "that nifty. Well, I'm going to go on a quick patrol before I go home. Angel you wanna come with me?" "I don't know."Cordelia shot him her look of death "Or ya know I can go. Yeah. I'll go." He got out of his chair and followed her to the door. "Cordelia Chase, stop right there."Buffy called from the table.
Cordelia turned around and crossed her arms. Buffy marched over to her completly aware of what she was trying to do.
"What the hell are you trying to do?"she asked pissed off. "What are you talking about." "You leaving me and Spike alone? It's so ovious." "What? I just want you two to have some time to work on your music."
Cordelia shook her head and began walking towards the door "You're full of it." "And you love me for it."She called out, leaving.
