Spending the Night

Part One

**Anna's house**

The phone rang startling Anna. She sat down her guitar and picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hey, what are you up to?" It was Buffy as usual. She had only called about twenty times that day.

"Nothing, just practicing on the guitar."

"You play? That's cool, are you any good?"

"Sometimes but not right now."

"So are you up for going to the coffeehouse? We could grab some lunch while we're there."

"Sure, I'll come pick you up in a few minutes."

**Magic Box**

"Okay, I'm at the Magic Box. See you in a few." Buffy hung up the phone and smiled to herself. Now she could get on to a perfect relationship with Anna and not worry about anything. Everybody knew her secrets so there was nothing to hold against her. She just wished that Anna would tell her what she saw about their future.

"Hey Buffy who are you going to see at the coffeehouse today?" Xander asked as he sat down.

"The same person that she has been calling every three seconds." Willow said not looking up from her book to make eye contact.

"You're one to talk. When you first fell in love with Tara you were spending every second that you could in her room or at least near her." Willow smiled while Tara blushed slightly.

"I did, didn't I? I was and still am, in love." Willow looked at her girlfriend and kissed her.

"I like Anna, she is nice and funny and cute."

"Please refrain from talking about my niece's cuteness in front of me." Giles said as he was taking inventory.

"Sorry, forgot about you being related to her. Hey how come she has so much more money than you do?"

"She was famous at one time."

"When? That would be something that I would remember." Buffy tried to rack her brain to see if she could remember seeing her before.

"Not for America, for other countries like Germany and Ireland. She was an actress, and a singer. She did quiet well actually. I don't know why she didn't continue with it." Giles pulled off his glasses and chewed on the end of it.

"She is a good singer." Tara replied, not realizing that she had actually said it out loud.

"When I called she said she was working on her guitar. I'll have to make her play for us one day."

"You still believe what she said about this being the longest relationship that you've ever had?" Anya asked as she went to the counter to help a customer.

"Yes I do." Buffy said.

Willow scoffed and said, "You don't even know her last name."

"Good afternoon all!" Anna walked in and made her way to the very happy Buffy at the counter.

"Hey, I missed you. What's you last name?" Buffy kissed her and came around the counter to hug her.

"Don't start with that teenager puppy love crap. I've spoken to you all day. You haven't had time to miss me. Although I could understand why you would. I am a Goddess after all." Anna pretended to polish her nails on her chest while Buffy playfully swatted her on the arm. "Is it just me or do I get hurt a lot around here? I mean, I've only been here, what, a week and I'm already getting hurt." This got her another smack. "Why do you want to know my last name?" Buffy shrugged. "It's Carlisle."

"Are we ready to go?"

"As ready as we'll ever be. See you guys later." Anna waved goodbye to the group.

"I still don't like her." Willow said.

"Why? Now that you know that she's not going to steal Tara away you shouldn't be angry with her." Xander got a nasty look from Willow as he said this.

"You were jealous of her! Oh Willow honey you have nothing to be afraid of, she doesn't want me anymore. And I only want you." Willow and Tara hugged and exchanged a few kisses.

Part Two

**Coffee House, an hour later**

"Let's go back to your house for a little while."

"Why, are you casing the place?" Anna raised an eyebrow causing Buffy to laugh.

"No, I just want a chance to look around. I'm haven't got to see what's in all those rooms that you have."

"Are you allergic to anything?"

"Not that I know of why?" Buffy said slowly.

"You know that I'm a showoff right? Well I had to outdo my family as far as pets go. So I imported a white tiger, a Grey wolf, and a panther."

"Are you serious? I thought that all three of those animals were like going extinct." Buffy was so shocked.

"I have money, and I'm a showoff. That's kind of why most of the family hasn't spoken to me in a while."

"I want to see them."

**Anna's house**

Anna slowly opened the door that said "Saber" on it. She peered her head inside, then opened the door all the way. Buffy stood at the door, half-afraid of what might be in there.

"Come in Buffy, I was just checking to see if he was asleep or not." Anna sat down on what looked like a twin bed. There on it laid a huge white tiger. You almost couldn't tell that there was anything there if it wasn't for the black stripes on him. Buffy walked in slowly taking a note of what the room looked like. It was rather small and plain looking. There was the bed on the left, with white blankets. On the floor were two big bowls, one filled with food, the other with water. Anna laughed at the massive cat as it rolled belly up.

"He is humongous. I can hear him purr from here."

"I know, I thought that Giles was going to die when I brought him home. He kept saying 'He may look cute now but he will grow up. And then he'll eat you in your sleep.' But this is the biggest baby that I've ever seen." Anna scratched his stomach once more and then got up. "You want to pet him?"

"Not right now, I'll save that for later."

"Okay, anything else that you want to see? My bedroom, my underwear, your underwear?" Buffy laughed and kissed Anna.

"You never give up do you?"

"Well look at you. How can you expect me to see that walk past me and try to keep clean thoughts?" This got Anna another kiss. Buffy slid her arms around Anna's waist and held her.

"I'll tell you what; Dawn has been asking me if she can spend the night with Melinda. Now I can let her go over there and then I could spend the night over here. Is that okay?"

"It's more than okay. You and your naked self are welcomed over here at anytime."

"You are so bad!"

"You wouldn't have me any other way." The girls looked into each other's eyes seeing nothing but love.

"No I wouldn't. Let's go to the Magic Box and spend some time there and then you can come and see my house."

"Sounds perfect."

Part Three

**Magic Box**

"Mr. Giles here is your mail. You have an awful lot today." Tara had her arms full of mail as she laid it down on the table. Giles walked over to inspect it. He gave a disgusted sigh and went back to what he was doing before.

"I brought Buffy back. I want my refund."

"Do you ever stop joking?" Buffy put her hands on her hips, but she was smiling.

"Anna, there is some mail from your disgruntled family members." Giles said as he was cleaning his glasses on his shirt.

"If memory serves me right, they belong to you too."

"No I choose not to claim them. I haven't opened them but I have a feeling what they're about."

"Warning him that I was coming. The devil incarnate, as some of them call me. 'Lock up the doors and hide the children. "It" is coming' " Anna was explaining to Buffy. "Oh please when is the last time any of these people tried to contact you before."

"Your birth, I must have gotten around one hundred phone calls telling me that a demon child was born."

"How loving our family is. Oh how I miss them so." Anna put an arm around Giles and put some fake tears in her eyes.

"These are all warnings about you coming to Sunny Dale?" Buffy looked through the pile of papers.

"I bet you, but open them and find out for yourself. Look at this, Katie, Jonathon, Matthew, Jennifer, they never contact me. And I can bet you anything that they haven't even met you." Anna walked over the desk and began opening the letters.

"Oh god. This letter is awful; I take it that your Great Aunt Hope doesn't like you too much." Buffy handed the letter to Anna.

"Never did. And this woman claims to be a Christian. Just look at this foul language. Oh look she left her phone number. I hope that they all did, then I can call them. That'll be fun." Anna smiled, as she thought of the things she could do to them.

"Giles said that you were an actress and a singer." Anya asked from the comfort of her boyfriend's arms.

"I was, was being the keyword there."

"Why did you quit?"

"I wanted to be a photographer. So when I got a job offering, I decided that I wanted that more than I wanted to be famous."

"What made you quit photography then? You never did tell me that." Tara smiled as she leaned on the counter.

"I wanted to go to college. Be like other people. You know, get drunk, get laid, get a free room and learn absolutely nothing." Anna smiled proudly.

"That's college for you." Buffy answered. "What do you plan on majoring on in college?"

"You'll laugh at me when I tell you." Anna hung her head down.

"No we won't, unless it's funny."

"Oh you are so comforting."

"Just tell us, I won't laugh at you. Scouts honor." Tara held up two fingers.

"It's something that I've wanted to since I was in high school science. And that's all I'm saying." Anna threw up her hands. Tara thought about it for a moment and then remembered.

"Forensic Science, right?"

"I can't believe that you remembered. I didn't ever tell you did I?"

"Once, but that is something that you don't forget."

"Have I mention how loved that I feel around here?"

"Why would you choose something like that? You have to touch dead bodies." Buffy shuttered.

"You're one to talk. You touch and kill dead bodies' everyday."

"I guess that you're right."

Part Four

"Well, I think that we should go to your house. After all you've seen mine, it's only fair." Anna leaned in and whispered to Buffy. Taking the opportunity to kiss her ear.

"Okay, let's go now. I'll see you guys later. Call me if something happens." Buffy and Anna left for Buffy's house.

**Summers' house**

"You have a cool house." Anna looked around the house.

"It's nothing like yours."

"Buffy is that you?" Dawn came around the corner from the kitchen.

"Dawn what are you doing here by yourself?"

"I'm not, Melinda and her mom is here. We just stopped to see if you were here or not. Hi Anna."

"Hey what's up?"

"Dawn, do you still want to spend the night with Melinda?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Well you spend the night with her tonight if you want to."

"Are you serious? That is so cool." Dawn turned to go back into the kitchen but stopped.

"Wait, why are you being nice to me all the sudden?"

"I'm just happier now, and you should be too." Buffy looked and smiled at Anna.

"Thanks Buffy. Anna, whatever you're doing, keep doing it." Dawn left for the kitchen. A moment later they heard happy squealing.

"Come on, I want to show you my room."

"Really, but isn't it too soon for that? I never go all the way on a third date."

"Such a smart-ass. What should I bring to your house?"

"You in a towel, that's all I require." Buffy threw a pillow at Anna.

"Close your eyes."

"Why, are you going to rape me?" Anna sat down on the bed and closed her eyes.

"No, I just don't want you to see what I'm taking."

"You mean your bra and panties." Anna got a smack on her knee.

"Okay I'm packed you can open your eyes." Anna was on her way to opening them when Buffy reached down and kissed her. Anna moaned slightly at the surprise. "Let's go." Buffy and Anna left for the door.

**Anna's House**

"Do you have a car?" Buffy asked as they pulled up in Anna's driveway.

"I might have one or two, why? Are you trying to case my house?" Anna smiled as they went into the house.

"Maybe, maybe not." Anna and Buffy made their way up the stairs.

"I have a Jaguar and a Convertible. They're in the garage. What room do you plan on staying in?" Buffy slid her arms around Anna's neck and kissed her slowly. Anna slid her arms around Buffy's waist to pull her closer. For moments they kissed until oxygen was needed. Buffy smiled and grabbed her bag, heading down the hall.

"Where is your room?"

"The last door on the right." Anna followed Buffy.

Buffy walked into the room that was almost as big as the library. She looked around in amazement; there was a fireplace and a small bookshelf. The bed looked like a king. The sheets were a lilac purple, on closer inspection Buffy found that they were silk. Hanging from the top of the bed, were lilac curtains that covered the sides of the bed. On the other side of the room was a big window that looked out onto a small pond. She saw what looked like a big dog standing by the water watching the fish. He jumped back when a fish jumped out of the water; Buffy laughed lightly at the sight of the frightened dog.

"That's Jay-Z. He is the Grey wolf."

"Jay-Z? That is a real original name."

"Hey, I was going through a rap stage okay."

"I like the lilac things, I never thought that you would have such..." Buffy tried to think of the right word.

"Girlie stuff?"

"Yeah, that's the word."

"I am a hopeless romantic. Just not many people know it."

"I would like to find out."

Part Five

"I bet you would. How about a nice dinner?"

"Who's going to cook?" A smiled curled up on her lips.

"I can cook smart-ass. I'll fix us a nice dinner and we'll take it from there."

Anna went downstairs to cook. Buffy decided to roam around the house. She went into the rooms, and looked in the closets and drawers. But she wasn't snooping; snooping would have been if she had went through Anna's room, which she didn't. After she was done, she headed downstairs. On her way down, she smelled something wonderful cooking. She found the kitchen, by smell, and saw on the table was two candles, two wineglasses and two plates. On the floor were red and white rose petals.

"What is all this?" Buffy asked pointing to the table.

"I told you that I'm a hopeless romantic. Do me a favor; go up to my room and in my closet is a dress that'll fit you. Put it on and then come back down here." Anna smiled at Buffy as she turned off the stove. Buffy went upstairs and found a beautiful red dress. Quickly she put it on; it was a perfect fit. She found the shoes that were with it and put them on too. Like Anna asked she went back downstairs. Anna was standing there in a blue dress with splits up to her knees.

"You look amazing in a dress." Buffy was shocked that someone with black hair could look that good in a dress.

"So do you; are you ready to eat?"

"Yeah." Anna pulled Buffy's chair out and pushed it in when she sat down. Anna turned on some romantic music and sat down to join her love. "Where did you change?"

"There is a room over there." Anna pointed to the side of the kitchen. "It was supposed to be a spare room but it never got finished."

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Sure."

"Why did you cut off all your hair and dye it black?" Anna laughed.

"I don't know. Some of my friends dared me too one year and I just never let it grow back out. Everybody seemed to have liked it like this, so I left it."

"I want you to let it grow back out. Leave it black, but let it get longer." Anna was surprised that Buffy demanded this but she was okay with it.

"If that's what you want, I'll do it."

"Really, no fight or anything?"

"I'll do anything for you." Anna smiled shyly.

"I'll hold you up on that offer later." Buffy smiled as she thought of how to end the night.

Buffy enjoyed the food; it tasted like it was a little Chinese. After dinner, Anna took Buffy to see the pond. It was getting dark and the moon reflected off of the water creating a beautiful site. It was a little chilly out, so Anna wrapped her arms around Buffy. That made it a little harder to walk but Buffy didn't care, she enjoyed the closeness. Anna laid her head on Buffy's shoulder as the looked out over the water.

"It's beautiful isn't it?" Anna asked softly.

"I love it; it's getting kind of cold out here, let's go to your room." Buffy turned her head and caught a kiss from Anna.

Part Six

Anna started the fire and sat down on the bed with Buffy. Warmth filled the room. Neither girl said anything at first, both were a little nervous.

"Buffy I..."

"Anna please..."

"I'm sorry." Both girls said at once.

"You go first Anna."

"Buffy I love you and I don't want to push you into something that you're not ready for. I'm perfectly content to just lie here with you all night. I don't want you to think that just because you are staying over that you have to have sex with me."

"I love you too. You are unbelievably sweet." Buffy put her hand on Anna's cheek. "I was going to say that I don't know how to have sex with a girl. This is my first time. But I want to be with you, I can feel it in my heart. Here feel." Buffy took Anna's hand and placed it on her chest. It was the beginning of a wonderful night for both girls.

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

"That was wonderful." Buffy placed her head on Anna chest and snuggled up with her. "Did I do okay for a first time?" Buffy smiled and knew what the answer.

"What, you couldn't tell? I think that after the third time that I screamed, the whole neighborhood heard how well you did." Anna smiled and kissed Buffy on top of the head.

"You won't feel bad if I go to sleep will you?" Buffy asked nervously.

"No I won't." Both girls fell asleep comfortable for the rest of the night.

**The next morning**

"Last night was wonderful." Buffy smiled and kissed Anna on the lips.

"Yes it was, mind if I ask for a repeat tonight?" Anna smiled evilly.

"How about we repeat it right now." The girls set in on their second round of lovemaking.

Part Seven

"Good morning." Buffy said cheerily to everybody. "Tara can I speak to you a minute?" Buffy took Tara into the training room.

"Where did Buffy go?" Anna asked as she walked in the store.

"She went to talk to Tara. I got a call this morning from a jewelry store asking me about your credit. What is that all about?" Giles asked from the counter.

"Shh, don't say it out loud. What did they say, are they going to give me the ring?" Anna whispered to Giles. Everybody strained to hear her but couldn't.

"Yes, they said for you to pick it up today. What is it for?"

"Buffy, I'm going to ask her to marry me." Giles smiled proudly at his niece.

**Training Room**

"Tara last night was so amazing!" Buffy spun around in a circle.

"What happened?"

"We made love last night, and it was so wonderful. I know why Willow spends so much time with you now." Tara blushed at Buffy's comment on their sex life.

"I'm happy for you Buffy. I told you that you would like her."

"I'm so glad that she came into town. I think that I'm falling in love with her." Buffy stopped at the realization of what she said. "I'm falling in love with her."

Buffy and Tara came out of the room and headed towards their lovers. Buffy was just about to kiss Anna when Dawn came in.

"Hey Dawn, did you have fun last night?" Anna asked.

"Yeah, so what's happening today?"

"We have work to do. We haven't been getting much done lately." Giles looked at Anna and smiled. He couldn't wait to see the look on Buffy's face when Anna purposed.

"Man, I hate when you guy's work." Dawn sat down grumpily.

"Tell you what, I'll take you out on the town today." Anna offered.

"Really, cool! Buffy can we go?"

"I guess so, but be careful." Buffy looked at Anna and pointed a finger.

"I won't steal anything, this time. I'll bring her back in one piece. I promise." Anna and Dawn left for their day.

"Buffy, are you sure it's such a good idea for Anna to take Dawn. She doesn't understand how important she is." Willow said cautiously.

"Yes she does, last night we talked all about that. She understands that we have to protect Dawn. Willow, I wish that you would just give her a chance. She is a really wonderful girl." Buffy reached across the table to touch Willow's arm.

"I suppose that you're right. I'll try to like her." Willow sighed.

"Good girl." Tara patted Willow's back.

**Jewelry Store**

"I have to go in here and pick something up. We'll be just a minute." Dawn and Anna went inside. The man behind the counter waved and went to the storeroom. After a minute he came back with a box.

"Here you go just sign here and you can take it." The man smiled at Anna and Dawn. "Who is this pretty lady?" He pointed to Dawn.

"This is the sister of the girl that I got the..." Anna pointed to the box. Confusing Dawn even more.

"Would you like to look at some jewelry today, miss?"

"No, I don't have any..."

"Look if you want to. I'm taking you out on the town. If you see something you want, then we'll get it." Dawn looked around and found something that she wanted. "See something that you like?" Anna smiled at the look on Dawn's face.

"I wanted to get a class ring, but Buffy said that we couldn't af++++ it right now."

"Fredrick, come here we found something." The sales guy came over and opened the case.

After picking everything out, Anna signed the necessary papers. She had also bought a couple of other things that Dawn didn't see.
