"I'm bored!" Spike complained.
"You've been bored for the last three hours," Buffy said, taking another gulp of beer.
"Lets do something!" Spike said.
"We are doing something," Angel said "We're sitting around getting drunk."
"I'm not drunk," Buffy said calmly.
"That's your fifth pint," Spike said "Plus about six shots of vodka."
"Oh please," Buffy said with a sniff "No way have I drunk that much."
"Three shots of vodka, three pints of beer and one shot of the weird stuff Spike brought," Willow said matter-of-factly.
Everyone laughed. Angel smirked and took another gulp of his own pint. He had been very surprised when Buffy had invited him, Spike and Cordelia to her twentieth birthday party. Wesley had come down too to keep Giles company while Faith was looking after Angel's apartment for him. The party consisted of Buffy, Willow, Xander, Anya, Riley, Tara, Cordelia, Spike and himself. So far they had played Pass the Parcel (Anya insisted that it was a ritual at birthday parties), Musical Chairs (another of Anya's choices. After this one, they'd forbidden Anya to make any more suggestions), throwing water bombs down at passers-by (Spike's idea. It had been good until Buffy had noticed that Spike was filling water bombs up with her holy water supply), Spin the Bottle (Riley had put a stop to the game when Buffy and Angel were supposed to kiss) and Bounce-on-Buffy's-bed-and- destroy-the-springs! (Spike's idea again and one that Buffy had put a stop quite quickly). Now they were sitting around, listening to music and drinking the alcohol that everyone had bought.
"Can't we do something?" Spike said pleadingly.
"Like what?" Willow asked, struggling with a bottle of vodka that was refusing to open. Angel helpfully opened it for her, took a gulp and handed it over.
"We could have an orgy!" Spike said promptly.
"No," everyone said.
"Truth or Dare then!" Spike said.
The entire room cheered and got in a circle.
"Spike thought of the game, he goes first," Buffy said.
"Okay," Spike said "Buffy."
"Truth," Buffy said.
"Who was the best kisser out of everyone you've ever kissed?" Spike said promptly.
"That's personal!" Buffy squealed.
"Hey, I'm starting off lightly!" Spike protested.
"Okay," Buffy said "I'd have to say it was...."
"Got to tell the truth!" Spike said.
"You!" Buffy said.
"HIM!" Angel and Riley both yelled "No way!"
Spike cheered.
"I'm better than Angel, I'm better than Angel!" he chanted.
"You are not!" Angel said, hitting Spike over the back of the head "Buffy's had to much to drink!"
"I have not!" Buffy said "Anyway, it's my turn."
About an hour later, the group was in hysterics. Several strange truths had been discovered. Apparently, the strangest place Xander had ever done it in was in a treehouse in a strangers garden (he wasn't saying who he'd had sex with though) and Riley's strangest crush had been on Professor Walsh! The dares had been even better with several really outrageous ones thanks to the drunken vampires (Willow was refusing to speak to Spike after he'd made Tara go and dance naked in the graveyard). The result of this was that Tara had nearly got arrested and they had had to run back to Buffy's dorm. In their 'slightly' inebriated state, the group had found this very funny. Tara had then asked Cordelia is she'd ever fancied a woman. Cordelia had said she had but wasn't saying who.
"Come on, please Cordy?" Spike said hopefully "Pretty please?"
"Shut up Spike, it's Cordy's turn," Buffy ordered.
"Angel," Cordelia said instantly. "Dare," Angel said.
Cordelia frowned for a moment and then she smiled. A truly evil smile. She began to whisper something in Buffy's ear. Buffy began to giggled.
"You and Spike had to go into Willy's and dance to the Pokémon theme tune!" Cordelia said.
The entire room went into hysterics again. Angel and Spike shared horrified looks.
"Oh come on," Spike said hopefully "You wouldn't!"
"We would!" Buffy and Cordelia said at the same time.
"But we don't know the words!" Spike said "And anyway, it's not my turn!".
"Yes you do!" Buffy said.
"We heard you saying!" Cordelia said "Last year. You both boasted that you had memorised the whole CD!"
"And there's no rule that says we can't dare two people!" Buffy said.
Angel groaned.
* * *
About five minutes later, the group were standing in Willy's Bar.
"He won't let us up on the stage," Angel said.
Cordelia had gone off somewhere. She returned suddenly.
"He said yes!" she said "Go on, off you go!"
"He must be bonkers!" Spike said.
"Nah," Buffy said "We reckon that Willy just wants to get his own back on you for when you've been nasty! Anyway everyone here is drunk so no one will care."
"We'll be watching," Cordelia said happily "And mocking. And laughing!"
Spike and Angel huddled miserably at the edge of the stage as Buffy went up to announce them.
"What if there are vampires and demons here?" Spike whispered.
Angel had thought of that and groaned again.
"Ladies and gentlemen and any demons that may be here!" Buffy called out "I have to announce the two greatest singers of all time. And they are here, from all the way from LA, tonight to sing exclusively for you! Please give a warm welcome to Spike and Angel!"
As the two got up onto the stage, they could already here some vampires beginning to laugh.
"You can do the first verse and I'll do the second," Angel whispered "We'll both do the chorus."
"Bastard," Spike muttered "I get the awful one! All right."
"You say Pokémon, I say the actual words," Angel said. Spike gave him a killer glare.
The music began.
"I want to be the very best, like no one ever was," Spike sang gloomily "To catch them is my real test, to train them is my cause."
The vampires in the room were already in hysteria. So was the Scooby Gang.
Spike continued alone until the chorus where Angel joined in.
"Pokémon, gotta catch 'em all!" Spike said and kept repeating the word 'Pokémon' it while Angel sang "It's you and me! I know it's my destiny! (Pokémon!) Oh, you're my best friend, in a world we must defend."
"Pokémon, gotta catch 'em all," Spike said again "A heart so true," Angel sang "Our courage will pull us though. You teach me and I'll teach you! Pokémon! Gotta catch 'em all!"
He then went onto the second verse, deciding that Cordelia was getting a wage cut when they got home.
"Every challenge along the way, with courage I will face. I will battle every day, to claim my rightful place. Come with me, the time is right. There's no better team. Arm in arm, we'll win the fight, it's always been our dream!"
They began the chorus again. The bar was still laughing hysterically although he noticed that the Scoobies were looking thoughtful (well, as thoughtful as you can look when you're drunk and laughing yourself silly at your friends making fools of themselves.)
Angel and Spike reached the last chorus. They put there all into it, yelling at the tops of their voices.
"POKÉMON!" they shouted at the end. The room applauded as they threw themselves of the stage. They followed the still laughing Scoobies out.
"It's not at all funny," Spike sulked "We looked proper fools."
"Aw, never mind," Buffy said "At least it had meaning."
Angel frowned.
"Well it's kind of true except for the Pokémon part," Willow explained "I mean, you two are defending the world. And you are teaching each other stuff. And there probably isn't a better team and you are sort of arm in arm especially if that book was right...."
"Enough already," Spike said. "So what you're saying," Angel said "Is that the Pokémon CD is a portent of me and Spike?"
"No, that's not what she's saying," Cordelia said, looking confused.
"Yes she is," Angel protested "because all the songs have meaning. The Team Rocket one - well that's obvious. Together Forever - obvious again. My Best Friend - um, duh. The Pokémon theme tune - well, I suppose she's right."
"And other ones," Buffy said happily. "No," Spike said firmly "We haven't sung those yet. They mean nothing until they're sung."
"And we shall never ever sing them!" Angel said.
"Pokémon and vampires," Buffy said thoughtfully "Who'd have thought it?"
"Not me, that's for sure," Angel said.
At that moment his cell phone rang. He took it out of his pocket, trying to remember how to turn it on. He eventually hit the right button.
"Hello, Angel speaking," he said.
"Hi," Faith's voice said "This may sound a really weird question but why is there a Pokémon CD under your bed? And even more importantly, how important was it to you?"
"That's none of your business," Angel said "And according to Willow, it's apparently vitally important to me and Spike. Why?"
"Well it kind of broke," Faith said "You see there was this guy and he was really cute and my apartment isn't very nice and his mother was staying at his and so I figured, hey, Angel probably wouldn't mind if I...."
"Faith," Angel interrupted.
"Yes?"
"Go and get the guy out, wash and change the sheets and then note down that you and Cordy are having your wages cut."
"Okay," Faith said meekly.
Angel sighed and rang off.
"Can we have an orgy now?" Spike asked.
"Only if we can play the Pokémon CD," Buffy said.
This time, even Angel and Spike laughed as they headed back to Buffy and Willow's dorm room.
The End.
