|Big Ego's |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Buffy and Tesh meet the Z-Fighters, Scoobies and Z-Fighters meet the new guy. That's the start of lots of trouble.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Buffy expected Tesh to show up soon, but these new people clearly didn't. The kid jumped, and the rest turned around, just a
little too fast too look calm. Tesh looked pretty happy with herself.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tesh grinned. 'Boo.' When everyone got over the shock (someone saying Boo on a dark scary graveyard on a full moon can scare
the hell out of you), the big guy with the weird hair asked 'What are you doing here?'. He sounded like he was talking to a
baby, and Tesh didn't exactly like it. 'Well, um, I'm- I'm lost, mister,' she said in the most childish voice she could
possibly think of. It worked, and the guy walked up to her. 'Well wh-' He stopped in the middle of a sentence, when Tesh
started laughing. 'Didn't your mommy ever tell you not to trust people who walk around in graveyards at night? Especially in
Sunnydale?' The guy clearly had to think about that one. 'Eh...' Before he could seriously answer, a growl came out of Tesh's
throat, and the guy backed away. Tesh grinned, but stopped when she saw the Slayer's threatening glares. As she changed back
to human, the guy (and the rest of them) became visibly calmer.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Buffy watched as Tesh showed off her vampire skills to the big guy. What a showoff... Would she stop scaring the crap out of
them, I'd like to know who or what they are. Buffy sighed, and tried to telepathically send Tesh a message to stop showing
off, or she'd kill her. It probably didn't work, but Tesh turned back to human. Thank you, I'll take over from here, if you
don't mind... She walked past the other people, and pushed Tesh back into the bushes. 'Get lost, vamp-kid. We don't want to
scare them off.' 'Why not?' 'Shut up.' Tesh shut up, which was better for her health. The guy behind her appearantly got his
voice back. 'What the hell is that?' 'Oh, that's just a vampire. One with an oversized ego.' The girl laughed. 'We're used to
that.' The shortest guy gave her an even more pissed off look, and she didn't say anything more about oversized ego's.
'Anyway,' the kid said, 'I'm Gohan, who are you?' 'I'm Buffy. And that there' - she knodded to Tesh - 'is Tesh.' The kid
looked at Tesh for a moment. She'd got up again, and looked a lot like the short guy. Bored, seriously pissed off, and not
wanting to be here. 'I- is she a bad person?' the kid wanted to know. Ow, though question. 'If I tell you that, I'll get beat
up.' She made a face, and the kid got close to laughing. One friend made. If I don't screw up. Now for the rest. We can use
any help we can get. 'And who are you?' she asked the big guy, since he was closest to her. The guy didn't seem to want to
waste any time, so he introduced everyone. 'I'm Goku, this is my wife Chisha, that's Trunks'-he pointed to the guy with the
pink hair- 'and that grumpy guy over there's Vegeta.' Buffy gave this some thought. Why did that guy's name sound like
vegetable? She wanted to ask, but decided not to when she saw Vegeta's face. 'Shut... Up... Kakarott...' Vegeta growled, but
Goku, or Kakarott, or whatever, didn't look like shutting up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Why was that guy's name vegetable? Or Vegeta, what's the difference. 'Shut... Up... Kakarot...' Vegeta growled. Okay, I'm
gonna ask him. Can't hurt. Right? 'Hey, eh, Vegeta. Why does your name s- Ow!' Tesh felt a sharp pain in her ankle, the
Slayer had kicked her. Sure, like that's gonna help. 'Why d- Ow!!! Would you stop that? Whoa, sorry, I-' The Slayer didn't
only kick her, this time, she also had a stake, about five centimetres from Tesh's heart. 'Oh wow, it's a stick,' Vegeta
commented. 'It's called a stake,' Buffy said, putting the stake back. The kid, Gohan, looked confused. 'But- Why were you
threatening her with a... a stake?' Buffy shrugged. 'Duh. Cause she's a vampire. It's basically the only way to kill a
vampire.' 'A vampire? I've read about them,' the kid said, and then he remembered what he'd read. 'AAAHHH!' Buffy smiled.
'Don't worry, this one's good.' Bad choice of words. 'Excuse me?' Tesh sounded lethal. 'Eh... nothing.'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A little later...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'So, basically, you're telling me that the 'Guardian of Earth', whoever that may be, has told YOU to go here and protect US,
because the Hellmouth's becoming too dangerous? And you're from the future, and those three are superstrong aliens called
Saiyans, and the rest of you is half-Saiyan?' Trunks had decided to explain everything, 'cause it didn't seem to go fast
enough if Goku tried to. Finally, these kids understood him. 'Yes, exactly. Now, will you help us or not?' 'Like she ain't
told you a thousand times already... O'course we'll help!' The peroxide blonde vampire seemed to lose his patience, but
Trunks didn't even care. 'Right. But, ehm, the problem seems to be, ehm, we don't know what we're looking for!' Trunks
sighed. That old guy asked too much questions, like he was supposed to know what the hell they were looking for. 'I think
we're looking for a big, ugly, demon-thing, trying to kill us.' 'There's hundreds of big, ugly, demon-things out to kill us.'
'We'll see, okay?'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Right. So we're looking for a big, ugly, demon-thingy... Again. I'll probably get mind-controlled or something, and those
scary guys will try to kill me. Why always me? Xander noticed he was at the cemitery again. That was the third round, and
Buffy was nowhere to be seen. Probably found Angel somewhere or something. Well, if she can just run off, so can I. He turned
around, and headed for the Bronze. Too bad that he hadn't even taken two steps before someone tackled him. 'Ow!' His face hit
the pavement, and he instantly figured that this was today's bad guy. Who else would do this? Ok, everyone would do this...
But who else appears out of nowhere on a dark full moon, right next to a cemitery? Ok, so what if Angel did exactly the same.
He still was pretty sure this was the bad guy. He turned around, and jumped to his feet. He didn't want to see what kind of
demon this was... Maybe it was just Spike. That wouldn't be too bad. Yeah, it probably was Spike. That would be something he
would do... He looked up hopefully, but it wasn't Spike. It was some guy with a black leather jacket, white hair, and
dark blue eyes. He was pale, but not as pale as a vampire. He was also grinning, but he didn't look especially evil. 'Sorry,
but I just wanted your attention. You didn't seem to notice me,' he said. He didn't sound evil as well. Maybe it wasn't the
bad guy after all, and maybe it was just some other guy, also sent by the Guardian of Earth, without the scary guys knowing it.
'It's okay, doesn't even hurt.' Xander wiped his hair out of his face, knowing it did hurt. Pretty much. He studied his hand,
his face was bleeding. O great. Well, at least this guy didn't make me eat bugs, like Dracula did. 'It sure looks like it.'
'Yeah, well I'm kinda used to it...' 'Whatever. Oh, you might want this back.' The guy held up a stake, and Xander noticed
he'd lost his own. 'Thanks. It must've dropped when you t- when I fell.' The guy smirked, and handed him the stake. 'Well, I
gotta be going. Have fun.' They guy walked around a corner, and out of sight. Waitasecond, what was he doing on a cemitery
all by himself, anyway? And why didn't he even ask why I was carrying stake? And where did he come from? He wasn't
there when I arrived... Angel does that. So do Spike and Tesh. And Buffy too, sometimes. Guess it isn't that strange. I'll
probably never see that guy again, anyway. Xander shrugged, waited another five minutes for Buffy, headed for the Bronze, got
drunk and passed out.
