As I lay me down Ch. 5-You drive me crazy Xander sat in the library just playing around on the computer when he got a I.M. message from Willow.
Will_Ro:Hey Xan. XanMan:Will, hey! Where are you? Will_Ro:I'm in the computer lab. You know for computer class. Where are you? XanMan:Library. You know where the books live. Will_Ro:Aren't you supposed to be in English? XanMan:Yeah,but today we've got a sub so I got a pass to come down here. Will_Ro:Ahh. XanMan:So, what's up with you? Will_Ro: Nothing much here. But if we should be asking anyone that question it should be Buffy. XanMan:So, you've noticed that she hasn't been hanging around us alot too huh. Will_Ro:It isn't even that she hasn't been hanging around us that's making me upset. It's the fact that it seems like she's spending all of her free time with Cordelia. Cordelia Freakin' Chase! Can you believe that? XanMan:We've got to cut her some slack. I mean, it seems like Cordy's become a real human being. She actually complemented me the other day. It scared me. Will_Ro:I know and she was at the Bronze and she was actually being civil to Jonathan. While Buffy on the other hand was shooting him death looks. XanMan: Maybe Buffy and Queen C switched places. I saw it on X-Files one time. This one guy and Mulder switched places and the guy in Mulder's body almost kissed Scully. They were freakin thisclose Willow. Thisclose! Will_Ro:You are such a dork. Look, I G2G, the bell should be ringing soon. I'll see you at lunch. XanMan:Chio XanMan:Or is it Choi? Will_Ro:Bye Xander. :X

(Girls bathroom)
"...And then I kissed him."Buffy told Cordelia finishing her story of what happened the night before. She theb took another puff of her ciggerett, and flung the ashes out the window. They were ditching 1st block, spending the first hour at Starbucks reading newly aquired magazines, and drinking frapachino's. The rest of the time was spent in the bathroom talking about last nights adventures. "You kissed him? Oh my god!"Cordelia said getting off the heater she was currently sitting on. "I kissed him." "So do you know exactly how you feel about him?" "Not yet. Why?" "Well, you kissed. And I'm guessing you kissed on the mouth seeing how you didn't specifiy that you kissed him anyplace else. And I am an expert on the movie Pretty Woman and Julia Robert's charactor specificly says that kissing on the lips intament." "And yet she slept with men for a living! I'm not very good at math but something isn't right with that equation." "Shut up."
Buffy put her ciggerette out and got down off the window seal that she was sitting on.
"Well, we should be getting out of here."She said getting her books together. "If Snyder catches you dressed like that you are so going to get bitched out. You do know that right?"Cordelia asked refering to Buffy's halter top,which was covered by a denim jacket,and showed much of her flat stomach and her hip huggers. "Do I look like I care?"
They both laughed walking out.
(Lunch)
Buffy, Xander,and Willow sat at their normal lunch table trying to guess what they were trying to poisen them with today. Giles walked up to Buffy, very pissed off. "May I speak to you for a minute?"He asked "Sure."She told him. They both stayed were they were for a moment before Buffy realized that he wanted to talk to her alone. They walked into the hall and he began talking. "I was doing some reserch and I came across something very interesting about your friend Spike. What exactly do you know about him?" "He's a vampire. He's faught two slayer's in his time, blah blah blah, they're both dead, blah blah blah, evil killing machine, blah blah blah." "Then you know that he could snap at any given moment. And kill all of us. Including you." "He can't kill you guys, and he won't kill me." "How do you know that?" "Because he has a chip in his head that keeps him from attacking anyone but me, and he's had plenty of chances to kill me. And he didn't." "What?"
Buffy leaned up against the wall, and began to tell him about there relationship. "It started off with him having an obsession with me. Then I kissed him. Time passed and then I kissed him again. And again. And then one night he found out he could hurt me and his chip wouldn't activate. So he just started going at me with all he had. I hit him back telling him how he wasn't human and he wasn't a vampire and other things. And then he hit me again, threw me against a wall. He wanted to kill me then, he could have too, but he didn't. And I don't know, I was just hurting so much, and I couldn't stop the pain so, I--I did things to him, and we had sex. While I was sleeping he could have killed me, every time we were together, he could have killed me, but he never did. Unfortunatly."She was crying now, "He loves me, and it hurts me so much sometimes. But you want to know what hurts me the most? I'm starting to love him too. So,that's the gists of it. Now if you'll excuse me I gotta go."
Buffy stormed into the caffeteria grabbed her stuff and stormed back out crying the entire time, leaving behind a bunch of confused onlookers.
"What's wrong?"Willow asked Xander still looking at the door. "Maybe she found a new prophecy. You wanna go talk to her?"Xander asked. "Yeah, you check the library, I'll check the bathrooms." "Why the bathrooms?" "Because when girls need to cry it's like they're drawn to the bathroom. Trust me."
And Willow's theory was currect.
"Buffy?"Willow called out. Buffy turned from her seat on the heater and looked at Willow. "Hey."She said wipping her eyes with one hand while holding her ciggerette with the other.
Willow sat on a sink looking at her with sadness in her eyes. "You want to talk to me about what's going on?" "Not really."Buffy told her,"I just need a friend." Willow got off the sink and joined Buffy on the heater giving her a big hug. "It'll be okay."She told her,"It'll be okay."
(Buffy's living room)
Buffy and Spike sat in the living room going through songs that they had came up with to perform. "Here's my newest song."Spike announced putting down his notebook and a pen, and picking up his gitar. "It's called 'My Ode to Bjork': Bjork,Bjork,were you brought by the stork? Or were you delivered by your mother and pork? Bjork,Bjork, you make me act like a dork Bjork,Bjork,Bjork.
I was flipping through the channels just trying to find Mork Bjork,Bjork,Bjork Or maybe fantasy island with the good Mr. Rork Bjork,Bjork,Bjork Maybe I should go to New York Bjork Bjork Bjork But that would be stupid, you're probably in Ice land, oh Bjork.
Bjork,Bjork,were you brought by the stork? Or were you delivered by your mother and pork? Bjork,Bjork, you make me act like a dork Bjork,Bjork,Bjork.
I'll take you to my bed room and..."
"Okay!"Buffy interupted "That's enough." "What? You don't like it?"he asked, pretending to be hurt. "Spike, sweetheart, maybe you should stick to singing and playing the gitar insted of writing the music." "Did you just call me sweetheart?"
Buffy realized her mistake and tried to cover it up.
"No! I mean why would I call you sweetheart?"She let out a nervous laugh and looked at him. "You are too cute."he told her, leaning in to kiss her.
She leaned in as well, and just as there lips were about to touch they were interupted by Buffy's mom walking in the house. "Isn't this an interesting sight to walk in upon. Wanna tell me what the hell is going on here Buffy? And you better make it good."she told her. "Mom, this is Spike..." "Spike? Oh you're just making this even better missy." "As I was saying: This is Spike, he and I are in a band together. A rock band." "A band?"Joyce asked "Yeah." "Well, Spike, I think you should leave so I can talk to my daughter alone." "Sure thing ma'am."Spike gathered up his gitar and notebook, stood up and asked with hope,"I'll see you later?" "I hope."She told him.
Spike left leaving Buffy and her mother to talk alone.
"Buffy, when you asked if you could have a friend come over today, I thought you ment like Xander or Willow. Not some guy named Spike,who's oviously older than you are." "Mom..."Buffy cut in. "Let me finish. I want you to have friends you're own age, baby." "I know mom, and I do. Don't worry about me and Spike, it was just a kiss." "I worry about you. That's all." "You do but, nothing's going on. Okay." "Okay. And I've got to give you credit, he is kinda cute."
As I lay me down Chapter 6--Little Bitty Pretty One
Cordelia laid on Angel's bed staring up at the ceiling counting the tiles. It was just another rainy Monday afternoon in Sunnydale.
"I am so bored!"She exclaimed sitting up,"I wanna do something! Something fun." "You can install my Nintendo."Angel said from the end of the bed. She grunted and threw a pillow at him. After a while, Cordelia asked cautiously, "What are you doing on Friday?" "Nothing, why?"he told her. "Well, homecomming's Friday, and I need someone to go with, and I was thinking that you and I could go together. You know as friends." "Friends?" "Just friends." "I'll go." "You will!"She said with excitment. "Yes." She threw herself ontop of him and gave him a giant bear hug. "Thank you,thank you,thank you,thank you,thank you!"She squeeled.
(Buffy's house) Buffy and Spike sat around the living room playing an unplugged show of some of their new songs for Joyce and Giles.
"Ooh, and this one is called 'Pie' written by of course Spike, okay, it goes like this"Buffy told them while Spike began to play the intro. "Oh pie tastes really good. And it's really nummy when it's in my tummy. Tummy Tummy Tummy..."
She signaled for Spike to stop and then she asked him,"What the hell is that crap?" "Remember that one time that we were watching American Pie with Dawn and her friend T? And we were making up theme songs for the movie, and that was mine." "And you know what? I probably said it then I'll say it again, It's a stupid song! Now I know why they really called you William the Bloody." "It's catchy."Giles said, trying to be kind. "Thank you."Spike said with a smirk on his face, while Buffy rolled her eyes.
(library, the next day) "So, have you asked Spike yet?"Cordelia asked sitting ontop of the table, crossing her legs. "No,and I don't know if I even am."Buffy told her. "Why not?" "It would be to weird. He might get the wrong idea." "But would that wrong idea really be that bad?" "Cordy, we're just begining to start to try to figure out where things are between us."Buffy told her,"I don't want to mess things up." "You won't mess things up! Just do what I did with Angel, ask him to go with you as a friend." "You asked Angel to go with you as a friend?" "Yeah. What's so wrong with that?" "Well, it's so ovious that he likes you." "No he doesn't." "Yeah, he does."
Cordelia sat and though about that untill she was interupted by Willow.
"Cordy."Willow said as a hello. "Willow."she said back. "So, Buffy,"Willow asked "are you going to Homecomming Friday?" "Yes. I may not have a date however." "You should go with Spike."Cordy sing-songed getting up off the table. "Shut up."Buffy told her. Cordelia went over to the coffee maker and began to poor herself a cup. "Well, anyways,"Willow continued "I was thinking that we could all go together." "I'd like that."Buffy told her.
(Buffy's room, later) Buffy danced around her room in her pajama's, to a Pink Floyd cd. She heard a tapping at her window and spun around to see who was there. She was shocked to see Spike on her roof. "What are you doing here?"She asked embarressed, opening the window. "I got bored."He told her climbing in. "You got bored, so you just decided to stop by my house?" "Pretty much, yeah. By the way, nice dance moves." "Cordelia and I are going to try out for dance team and we need to work on our moves." Buffy sat down indian style on her bed and Spike joined her. "What is this now?"Spike asked picking up a copy of a Teen Magazine and started reading the article titles on the cover,"'How to Make Your Date go Wild. Hair Do's and Don'ts. Dresses that Flatter your figure'." She pulled the magazine out of his hands and told him,"Homecoming is Friday and I need to make sure that I look great." "Are you going with anyone?" "Nope, that is one thing that's always missing. The man. I'm like a walking Sex in The City episode. Minus the sex." "Well, you know, I can always go with you if you need me to." "Spike, really, you don't have to. I can always go alone." "I'd like to go, really. It'll be fun, what do you say?" "Fine, if you want to go, I'll go with you."
(dress shop, the next day) "What about this one?"Willow asked holding up an aqua strapless dress, with sequins all over it. "No, to flashy."Buffy told her going through another rack of clothes. She pulled out a low cut black spagetti strapped dress and held it up against her. "Oh my god."Buffy announced looking at her reflection in the mirror and asked, "How do I look?" Willow put a hand over her mouth and took in a deep breath. "It's beautiful."she told her. "How much is it?" "Only $30. Should I buy it?" "You should defentely buy it." "Okay, I'll do it. Now let's find you one."
(Buffy's house) Buffy walked into the living room wearing her dress. "You like?"She asked. "Oh my god. Buffy you look beautiful!"her mother told her. "You think." "You are going to look stunning. What shoes are you going to wear?" "I'm not sure, I'm going over to Cordy's after school to go through her shoes, she's got to have something that'll look good with this." "What did Willow pick out?" "She's got this sexy red dress. It's got a plunging neckline and a corset thing going on. I swear to god, she looks like she just steped out of the Moulin Rouge."
As I lay me down Ch. 5-You drive me crazy Xander sat in the library just playing around on the computer when he got a I.M. message from Willow.
