Setting - Before Passion.
Buffy was patrolling when Angelus sprang out at her. Buffy ducked away, kicking him.
"Hey," Angel said, with mock hurt in his voice "I've come to talk."
"Yeah, well I don't feel like talking," Buffy said.
"Okay then," Angel said with a shrug "But not talking could cost Willow her life. Still..."
"What do you mean?" Buffy asked, a wave of nervousness crawling down her spine.
"Well she's tied up in the factory," Angel said "You can free her though. You just have to do something for me..."
"What's that?" Buffy asked though clenched teeth.
Angel smirked.
"Have you ever watched Pokémon?" He asked.
"Once," Buffy said.
"You've heard the music," Angel said. "Yes..." Buffy said, praying this wouldn't be something like 'Dance naked down the school corridors singing'.
It turned out to be much worse.
"You and someone else have to perform a dance routine to the song in front of me and all the minions," Angel said "If I am satisfied then Willow gets to walk away."
Buffy swallowed.
"Who's the other?" she asked.
Angel reached into the bushes and dragged out a figure. His hands were bound behind his back.
It was Spike.
"You and Spike," Angel said "You have three days."
He threw Spike into Buffy's arms and disappeared.
"Wanker," Spike said bluntly.
"Oh god," Buffy said "Is Willow all right?"
"Red is fine. She's terrified of course and Angel keeps teasing her. Also Dru wants her to help bathe Miss Edith," Spike gave a dramatic shudder "I'd almost rather have the dominance rituals than bathe Miss Edith."
There was a pause.
"Is the music awful?" Spike asked.
Buffy took him to her house. She had bought a CD of Pokémon for a young cousin who's birthday was in a weeks time. Spike listened to the theme tune.
"That," he said "Is the most awful rubbish I have ever heard."
"It's not that bad," Buffy said. At Spike's disbelieving stare she said "I don't want to dance to it but I've heard worse."
"This will be so humiliating," Spike muttered.
"Why is Angel making you do this?" Buffy asked.
"He found out I could walk and I hadn't told him," Spike said "Bastard. I hope he chokes on his next meal. God, the minions are going to laugh."
Buffy frowned. Something was nagging at her brain.
"Wait!" she said suddenly "Angel said the Pokémon song right?"
"Yes," Spike said.
"But he never said the Pokémon song!" Buffy said, growing excited.
"No," Spike said.
Buffy switched to track nine.
"Listen to this," she said
* * *
Willow huddled against the box, struggling against her ropes. Angel walked over with the soup she got to eat. She'd been living off it for three days and was wishing she could have something better. She swallowed it down.
"Buffy and Spike are coming tonight," Angel said "I hope they have something good, don't you?" He ran a hand gently down her face "I'd hate to have to damage your pretty face." His fingernails dug into her neck "That would be unpleasant." He got up "See you soon."
Willow whimpered as Angel walked away. She prayed Buffy had something good.
* * *
"Are you ready pet?" Spike asked, looking at Buffy.
Buffy tugged at the dress she was wearing.
"Yes," she said.
"The minions will love you," Spike said reassuringly.
"You remember all the dance steps?" Buffy said.
Spike nodded. He pulled the long black coat on. He did it up. It went right down to the floor, concealing his costume. Buffy pulled on an identical coat and they walked to the factory.
* * *
"Here you are," Angel said smiling. Buffy ignored him, scanning the crowd of minions for Willow. She spotted her friend tied up at the front of the crowd. Willow stared at her.
"Your stage is that pile of boxes," Angel said. He frowned "What's with the coats?"
"Concealing our costumes," Spike said.
Angel nodded and went to sit next to Willow. He put an arm round her and began to fiddle with her hair. Buffy scowled and walked on stage as Spike set the music up. He walked up on stage beside her.
"You ready?" he muttered as Angel gestured for silence.
Buffy nodded and Spike pressed the remote control. A drum beat rolled out followed by a voice. Buffy saw Angel frown.
"This is the Boss," the voice said "And I'm sick of waiting. I want Pikachu and this time don't screw it up!"
The familiar drum beat started along with the background voices. Buffy and Spike stood completely still until it came time for their lines.
"We'll be the richest rogues of all time," Spike sang.
"Creators of a grand design," Buffy said. The two began to dance, swaying to and fro and tapping their feet to the music. Buffy discreetly began to unbutton her coat.
"I'll be the king!" Spike sang.
"I'll be the queen," Buffy said, making her voice sound more girly.
"I'll be the joker," the CD said "Of crime."
The background voices did their part and then they began the next bit.
"Prepare for trouble!" Buffy ordered, stepping forward.
"Make it double," Spike said in his sexiest voice.
"To protect the world from devastation!" Buffy said, doing a sideways step forwards.
"To untie all peoples within our nation," Spike said, imitating her move.
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!" Buffy sang.
"To extend our reach to the stars above!" Spike said.
"Jessy!" Buffy sang, doing another sideways step.
"James," Spike drawled, once again doing the same thing so they were leaning back to back.
"Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light!" Buffy said.
"Surrender now or prepare to fight!" Spike shouted. The two of them twirled away from each other, dropping their coats. Willow gasped. Her friend was wearing a tight, short red leather dress and long black boots. Spike was wearing his usual black leather pants and a light blue T-shirt with an R on the front. As the chorus started he and Buffy began dancing, Buffy rubbing herself all over Spike as the song went on. Spike glanced at Angel. Angel's face was white with rage, his teeth clenched. The minions were cheering and clapping. Spike smirked and slipped an arm round Buffy's waist.
"We're Team Rocket and we fight for what's wrong. For mayhem and madness and rare Pokémon," he sang, rubbing his hips against Buffy's.
"I'm so gorgeous," Buffy sang, darting away and putting a hand to her hair.
"I'm always the man," Spike said, putting a hand to his chest.
"You're just the players in my master plan," the CD announced.
Buffy grinned to herself as she saw Angel's face.
"Team Rocket's rockin," she and Spike sang together "Talkin' trouble, walkin' trouble, double trouble, big trouble. Troubles gonna follow you. We're gonna capture Pikachu."
The minions were going wild as she and Spike rocked together.
"We're always gonna try it,
No one can deny it,
We can cause a riot in Sunday School.
We'll have you believing,
Truth can be deceiving,
Do unto others is our golden rule!"
Spike gave an evil giggle.
"This is our most ingenious plan ever, if I do say so myself," Buffy said.
"Even we couldn't screw this one up, Jessy," Spike replied, smiling at her.
"Prepare for trouble!" they both sang.
The chorus had come round again and they kept dancing and singing. They prepared for the grand finish.
"Team rocket's rockin!" they both sang as Spike swirled Buffy into his arms and kissed her. When drew back they shouted the last line together.
"Look's like Team Rocket's blasting off again!"
The minions cheered and the two bowed. Angel stood up. He threw Willow at Buffy.
"You have five minutes," he spat "Get out."
"Bye James," Buffy called, undoing Willow's ropes.
"Bye Jessy," Spike called back, still smirking. He put the CD in it's box and threw it to her.
Buffy and Willow ran out.
"That was incredible," Willow whispered when they reached Buffy's house.
"It was fun," Buffy admitted "There's just one problem."
"What?" Willow asked.
Buffy sighed and put the CD on track nine.
"What am I going to get my cousin now?"
The End.
