Part 3:
Unholy Matrimony

"You guys, I am telling you, she is up to something strange!" Michael said urgently to Tess, Max, and Isabelle.

"Michael ... your obsessed!" Tess said annoyed.

"Yeah Michael ... you are the one who said we had to let them go. We all are, you need to stop making excuses." Max said to his best friend.

"Besides this Buffy girl could be teaching Maria self defense Michael!" Isabelle said to Michael.

"If there even is a Buffy girl!" Tess said sarcastically.

"There is. And it wasn't just self defense, they were banging each other up hard ... and speaking of this Buffy girl, she just walked in!" Michael said as he watched Buffy walk up to Maria.

"That's Buffy?" Isabelle said surprised

"Yeah ... what did you expect ... chopped liver?" Michael asked sarcastically.

Meanwhile, Buffy went over to Maria.

"Guess what?" Buffy asked.

"What?" Maria replied.

"You are coming patrolling with me tonight!" Buffy said surprisingly happy.

"What ... exactly do you mean." Maria asked confused.

"Well, I can't exactly tell you ... here!" Buffy replied as she looked around the room.

Michael returned to the kitchen and shouted to Maria, "Hey, I don't make these hot-dogs for my health!"

"Let me guess ... that's Michael!" Buffy replied annoyed.

"Unfortunately ... yes. Not exactly a record I like to keep though!" Maria replied as she laughed with Buffy.

"Maria, table 2 is waiting!" Michael shouted back at her.

"Fine ... fine. Not like I have a life anyway. See you later Buffy!" Maria replied as she walked over to table two. Why was Michael acting so ... rude? OK, so he acted rude all the time. But these past few days were different. I mean, If he wasn't talking to her, it seemed like every where she went he was there. She felt like he was following her.

"Why don't you give it up?" Buffy asked as she leaned over the counter where Michael was.

"And what would that be?" Michael asked all hot headed.

"Pining after Maria ... following her around ... sticking your nose in places it shouldn't be ... why don't you just leave her alone?" Buffy asked him.

"Who are *you*, to tell *me*, what to do?" Michael replied with just as much intensity.

"I am Maria's sister. You mess with one of us ... you deal with the other!" Buffy replied as she turned around and walked out the door.

Sister? Buffy was Maria's sister. I guess there was a small resemblance, but sister. I mean, it made sense. They both were blonde. Had smart mouth attitudes. They both seemed ditzy. But why did Buffy care whether he followed Maria or not. It wasn't her business. And what the hell did patrolling mean? Why did he get the strangest feeling Maria was in over her head?

"So that was Buffy!" Max said as he walked up to talk to Michael.

"She's ... Maria's sister!" Michael replied shocked.

"I didn't know Maria had a sister!" Max said as he looked at the door that just closed.

"Neither did I!" Michael replied.

*************************************************************************************************

He watched her from behind the counter. He pretended to leave, but quickly snuck back in. He overheard Maria and Buffy talking about patrolling. What the hell was that. He watched her as she came out in a pink spaghetti strap shirt with a white tank top under it. She had blue jeans on and some white sketchers. Her hair was tied back, and she was caring would appeared to be a wooden stake. But he couldn't quite tell because she put it into her jacket that she was caring around her arm.

He followed her to what was the Roswell grave yard. What was she doing here? Had someone in her family died. Michael knew that was the last thing Maria needed. But she seemed to happy to be mourning someone. She perched herself onto a tombstone and looked at her watch.

"Common Buffy where are you ... please don't tell me I have to avenge your death or anything." Maria said annoyed.

"Don't bet on it!" Buffy said as she sneaked up behind Maria.

"Sheesh. You scared the living daylights out of me. The next time you invite me to a graveyard ... in the middle of the night ... try to be here on time ... oh ... and did I mention ... DON'T EVER SNEAK UP ON ME!" Maria shouted.

"Sorry!" She replied.

"So why are we here?" Maria asked as she looked at her watch again.

"2 fresh new graves. Giles wanted us to check it out ... says there might be *risings* tonight!" Buffy said.

"Search and destroy ... what a great way to end a day!" Maria said sarcastically.

What the hell were they talking about. *Fresh graves*. They acted like they were expecting people to rise from the dead. But something gave him an uneasy feeling about what was about to happen. Then he saw some guy covered in dirt attach Maria. And then another guy attached Buffy.

"Hey ... thanx. You two finally showed up ... I was actually ready to bail on you!" Buffy said sarcastically as she kicked the vampire in the gut!

"Yeah ... I was actually worried!" Maria replied as she hit the other in the head.

"The dawning of the age is coming. Lives will be sacrificed and the survival witch infaces will be turned." One of the vampires replied.

"The dawning my ass!" Buffy replied as she pummeled the same guy with her fist.

Then Michael saw one of the *things* take hold of Maria's neck and throw her across the cemetery. Then he got up and stretched his hand forward and an energy came out of his hand. The vampire who was attacking Maria then went after Buffy.

"What the hell do you think you are doing here Michael. Leave!" Maria replied as she brushed off the dirt from her jeans.

"What exactly are you doing. And why are you fighting these ... things in a cemetery!" Michael asked her angrily.

"It's none of your business. Now get out of here before you get yourself ... or even me killed!" She screamed at him.

"Why do you keep picking fights and why do you keep on going to some guy named Giles house?" Michael asked even more angrily.

"Your following me know? I can't believe your following me!" She replied even more angry than Michael was.

"Answer my question!" Michael asked as he gritted his teeth.

"It's ... none ... of your ... business!" She replied. As she hit the vampire behind her with one arm never turning as she stared at Michael. Then she went onto hitting the vampire. Both sending each other flying into tombstones and graves.

"I finally get to taste slayer's blood!" One of the vampires said to Buffy.

"You don't know how tired I get of hearing that. You really need to tell your friends to come up with something new!" She replied sarcastically.

"Ah ... but this time, I have the dawning of the new arrival on my side!" The vampire replied.

Meanwhile Maria was having her own conversation going on with the other vampire.

"You know, you should really try to grab my arm and throw me instead of hitting me ... it itches!" She said sarcastically to the other vampire.

"For being a slayer ... you really aren't to bright!" He told her with an evil smile.

"You know ... I don't think we have been properly introduced ... I am Maria ... and you ... your yesterday's news!" She replied as she staked him as he disappeared. At the same time, Buffy made the other vampire go pouf.

"You know ... that guy was really starting to annoy me!" Maria said to Buffy trying to catch her breath.

"I hear ya ... but ... what are we going to do about him!" Buffy said while looking at a shocked Michael.

"Is someone going to explain to me what just happened here!" Michael said.

"No!" Maria replied angrily.

"I am not going to tell a third person ... when it hasn't even been a week yet!" Buffy replied.

*************************************************************************************************

Maria and Buffy took Michael over to Giles. He told everything to Michael about what he had experienced as well as Michael told Giles about himself and the other four aliens and about destiny. Giles seemed very intrusted. But decided it was best if no one else new.

"I just have a question?" Maria asked Giles.

"What would that be?" He replied.

"One of the vampires called me slayer. I thought Buffy was the only slayer, with the exception of Faith!" Maria replied.

"Yes, ... well, I have to get on that! I suppose I should call Angel, and check on Faith." Giles replied. Buffy could tell by the tone in his voice, he wasn't to happy about it!

"What about what the other vampire said ... he said something like ... The dawning of the age, lives will be sacrificed and something to do with survival witch infaces will be turned." Buffy asked confused.

"It's an inscription!" Willow replied as she and Xander walked in.

"What's he doing here?" Xander asked as he pointed to Michael.

"Great ... more people who escaped from the circus." Michael replied sarcastically.

"I already know I am not going to like this guy!" Xander replied.

"Unfortunately ... now he knows. But he isn't our biggest problem right now!" Buffy replied.

"We have *other* problems now?" Xander replied.

"Like I was trying to say before I was Oh ... so ruddily interrupted. It's an inscription for a book. The dawning of the age is coming. Lives will be sacrificed and the survival witch infaces will be turned is the inscription of the very first page. I don't quite understand it, but I think it has got something to do with a new demon!" Willow said.

"What's knew?" Buffy replied sarcastically.

"I guess I should call Angel and see if he knows anything about this!" Giles replied as he walked over to the phone.

"Survival of the fidis. It's just a fancy way of saying it. The demon ... I am guessing ... is a harbor demon. He survives on the blood of other species, humans are his specialty!" Angel said as Cordelia and Westly came out from behind him.

"Angel ... your here!" Buffy replied. There was an uncomfortable silence for a while.

"So Xander ... good to see ya again." Cordelia said trying to brake the silence.

"Yeah ... long time no see ha!" He said putting his hands in his pockets.

"What is it in your lives that makes you research so much on ... demons?" Michael asked annoyed.

"Please tell me this isn't your new boyfriend. He's kind of ... young!" Angel said while looking at Michael.

Michael just sneered at him but then Buffy cut in and said, "Actually, this is Maria's ex ... who just happens to be an ..." Buffy started to say.

But Angel cut her off by saying, "Alien, I already know!" Angel said as he looked at Maria.

"So ... this is the infamous Angel. You know ... you look great for being over 200 years old!" Maria replied trying to cut the air.

"You mean to tell me your a demon to?" Michael said sarcastically.

"He's a vampire!" Westly replied, "With a soul."

"So why aren't you like ... biting our heads off or something." Michael replied sarcastically.

"Why aren't you trying to take over the planet." Angel replied at him snarly like.

"So ... how's Faith?" Buffy asked as she looked at Angel.

"She's 5 by 5!" Faith said as she walked in the door.

There was an acquired silence in the room.

"Your not going to kill us are you?" Maria said looking at Faith. She had heard about Faith before, and all the hell she put Buffy through and how she supposedly changed. She just wasn't sure if she should believe it.

"Let me guess ... your Maria, the uh ... baby slayer!" She replied sarcastically to Maria as Maria glared at her.

"So ... 3 slayers in one room ... never thought I would live to see that day ... don't know if I should be thanking the powers that be ... or running like hell though!" Xander replied shoving his hands in his pockets even farther than before!
