"So what's happening? Why is everyone packed up luggage and—" Lorne asked as he descended the staircase of the hotel holding the sleeping baby.
"We're going to Sunnydale, Cordelia had a vision of—" Wesley started to tell the Green man.
"Of Buffy and her friends being attacked by theses tall, red robed demons, with deep blue skin, and glowy orange veins." Fred interrupted.
"Oh, I see and you were just what… going to leave with out me? Not a change," he said walking over to Fred handing Connor off to her, "give me ten minutes tops." Without waiting for a reply he head back up the stairs.
TEN MINUTES LATER…
Lorne came down the stairs once again, "Okay, I'm… we're all packed," holding up his luggage and Connor's dipper bag.
They all crammed in the car, Angel at the wheel next Cordy with Wesley at the end. Gunn; Fred, who was holding Connor; with Lorne behind the British man. And they were off.
~~~ At the Magic Box…
"Okay, so what's up for tonight?" Dawn asked packing the last of her homework away for the night.
Tara and Willow were talking to each other in whispers, and looked up when they hear Dawn's question. Buffy came from the door she had just turned the 'Yes we're OPEN' to 'sorry we are CLOSED.'
Well, I have to patrol tonight, since I didn't the last two, even though Spike did, I can't make him patrol every night—"
"Well, it's not like he has a life." Tara said jokingly.
They all laugh lightly to the cute little joke.
"Oh, OH, oh," Willow said excitedly, "I know it will be girls night in, just the four of us. We—we can rent movies, and eat popcorn, and OH, oh paint each others nails, and, and do each others hair—"
"And have a pillow fight." Tara said sarcastically.
"YEAH…" she looked at her then at Buffy then back at her lover, "wait are you making fun of me?"
"Hey, you know what else is girly… burning those hideous brides maids dresses." Buffy told them getting up and going behind the counter to grab a stake. "Okay, Dawn go with Will and Tara to get three or four movies, and popcorn. I'll do a quick weep. Then I'll come home and it'll be just the four of us, okay?
~~~ On Patrol…
Buffy was walking in the cemetery, "Spike." He seemed to appear out of nowhere and started walking besides her. "Look I want to do a quick sweep so I can go home a watch movie with Dawn, Will, and Tara."
"What the vamp not invited?" Spike asked a little hurt but not showing it.
"Well, it's a girl thing… besides you wouldn't like it." Saved by the vamp that jumped out and attacked them. She quickly kicks him so that he flew back in a tree and Spike staked him within a blink of an eye.
They continued to walk through the cemetery, "So, how was the action the last couple of nights?"
"There was none, luv, you weren't around," he said low and seductively.
"And there won't be any to night either."
"We'll see about tha—" when a Yermo Demon attacked, it has millions of little thorns all over it's face. And was extremely hairy everywhere else with Gray eyes, and it had a sword. Buffy kicked it in the chest causing it to fall over a headstone, it quickly recovered. It swung it sword at her causing her shirt to get shredded before she kicked it away. She hung on to the scraps with one hand with she pick up the sword. While Spike punched it in stomach so hard it doubled over in pain, "Spike!" Buffy said to get his attention tossing him the sword. Spike caught it and stabbed the demon in the middle of his chest.
"What wrong with you… you're just standing there, luv?" Spike asked as he removed the sword.
"My shirt it's," she held it in front of her chest, cover herself but showing him that it was in pieces.
"Well, isn't that such a shame…" he walked up to her and cocked his head one and was about to rub her arm when he noticed that she was shaking. "What's wrong don't want me to touch you?" His eye colder than a just a second before.
"NO, it's cold out, and windy," she snapped back at him softening up at the end.
He reacted without thinking and quickly took his duster off and rapped it around her shaking shoulders. "It's not like its keeping me warm." He told her softly as they head off for house.
1 ~~~ At the Hotel…
The Fang Gang just filed out of the hotel they checked into. "So where do we start looking for them?" Gunn asked.
Well, if we divide up the search should go faster. So… what about Connor."
"Here I'll take the little champ with me, where am I going?" Fred asked.
"Lorne and I will check the and cemeteries, Angel and Fred go check the Magic Box and Bronze, Cordy and Gunn go check at Buffy's house. Okay." They divide up into the groups and were off on their separate ways.
2 ~~~ Cordelia & Gunn…
"I don't know why Wes couldn't have put me and Fred together." Gunn complained to Cordy.
"Because you know being stuck with me is such a complete drag—"
"That's not what I mean it's just—" Gunn tried to backpedal.
"I know I'm just kidding, Probably because… you and Fred have never been in Sunnydale, and you really don't know your way around and neither does Fred… don't worry Angel won't let anything happen her, you know that."
~~~ At the Summer House…
Buffy and Spike both enter the front door. "Witch, Red, Niblet?" no answer. "Guess they're not back yet, what ever will you do to pass the time?" he saunters up to her just an inch in between them.
"I'm gonna… take a shower… by myself. Goodnight Spike." She said slowly stretching it out and by the end it was a chipper tone. She ran up the stair went around the corner, and then popped her head around, "You can show yourself out Spike can't you."
"I'm gonna get you for this Slayer." He mumbled up his unnecessary breath with a smirk across his face. He walked off for the kitchen after he picked up and put on his duster. Spike moved some things around in the refrigerator, until he found his last bag of blood he left there, surprise that the Slayers didn't throw it out. He got a mug out off the cupboard and poured it in the mug. Willow, Tara, and Dawn entered the backdoor.
"Hey, Spike what's up, where is Buffy?" Dawn asked.
"She's upstairs, taking a shower, one vamp, and a Yermo demon." Spike answered her
"So kinda slow then?" Willow asked
Spike didn't answer instead he set the mug down and when to the front door and picked up the sword they got and came back in. "Got a present for ya," he said to no one in particular and held it out before him.
Willow took it and looked it over, "I'll put it in the chest Xander made for Buffy's birthday," and she walked out of the room.
"Tara let's go get our Pjs on okay?" Dawn said excitedly.
"Okay, bye Spike," Tara told the vampire with a smile.
"You mean Spike hasn't left yet?" Buffy asks walking with teddy bear Pjs on.
"Me and Tara are going to put our Pjs on." Dawn told Buffy practically dragging Tara by the wrist.
Spike waited until they were gone then looked at Buffy and walked up to her real close, she was standing with her back to the sink. She closed her eye and opened her mouth slightly since breathing suddenly became difficult. She barely was able to whisper, "Spike not now."
While Dawn was already upstairs; Tara was at the base of the stairs when there was a little rapping at the door. Tara quickly went to open it.
"Hi, we're sorry to bother you this—sorry we must have the wrong address… where is—"
Cordelia interrupted him looking a little confused, "Does a Buffy Summers live here?"
In the kitchen Spike was look deeply at Buffy's face. Quickly he pulls her close to him with one arm and holds there with it, but she not struggling to pull away, while the other hand swiftly makes it way to her stomach under the shirt. His thumb on her abs and his fingers more on the side of her, gently massaging.
"Who wants to know?" the witch asked cautiously.
"We're—I'm an old friend of hers—" Cordelia start off.
"Sweetie who's at the door?" Willow asks as she takes her place next to her lover. "Cordelia? And some one."
"I'm not a vampire," she tells them stepping to the house just a bit to prove to them, "and neither is he." She points over her shoulder Gunn.
Buffy placed both her hands on Spikes chest then made her way down to his waist and pulled him down for a kiss.
"Hey, come in it cold out there tonight, I think Buffy is in the kitchen." Willow told them. "BUFFY" Willow called out as she led the unexpected guests to the kitchen.
Gunn looks at Cordelia and mouths 'Sweetie' looking confused as they follow the red headed witch.
She heard her best friend call her name she pushed Spike away by not too hard or too far. She put her hand to her mouth as to wipe her lips off, but then changed her mine and she closed her eyes and pressed her lips together, as if that would be the last time she would ever feel his lips pressed to hers.
"Buffy, there some… people here…Buffy?" Willow told her best buddy.
