"D'you hear something?"
The two vampires perked their ears up. Distant giggling. Footsteps that were approaching.
"I know Harmony said something about eating security guards. What about teenagers, do they count?" Asked the shorter and darker of the two.
The other gave a grin, his canines elongating, visible in the smoky light of the hallway. "She doesn't really have to know, now does she?"
"I guess not. But we better do it quick, Pete. Don't wanna be caught."
The two vampire minions put down their magazines, and waited for the door to open.
"Umm… where's Dawn?" Buffy asked. She hadn't seen her sister since… how long had she been dancing with Spike? Two, three songs? She'd kinda lost track. Bad Buffy, she thought to herself, this was supposed to be about Dawn, not herself. She wasn't supposed to get distracted.
The distraction in question spoke. "Well, luv, my guess would be they've either gone to the ladies room, or they've done the typical teenager thing and gone and snuck themselves backstage."
Buffy just rolled her eyes. Juvenile, really. Granted, the idea had crossed her own mind, but she hadn't really gone ahead and done it. "All right, I'm gonna go see if I can grab her, just check to see if she's all right."
Just then Xander came up to her. "Buffy! My favourite person. D'you think we could talk? I really need to talk. 'Cause…. Anya's mad at me. Yeah, we had a big fight."
He gave Buffy the saddest look he could muster, the one he'd reserved to go along with the story about his dog dying, to get out of tests in middle school. He looked over his shoulder sadly, and Anya waved. Really convincing that they had fought now. Dammit.
When he faced Buffy again, she gave him an odd look. "Well, I think she's forgiven you now. I've gotta go find Dawn."
Xander perked up. "We've lost Dawn? Big vamp action, we've gotta save her? Let's go."
Buffy just stared some more.
"No, nothing as exciting as that. I'm just gonna see if she snuck backstage. Maybe you should go sit down, maybe go home ands lie down?" Buffy gave his shoulder a quick squeeze, then hurried towards the Bronze exit.
What was up with him? She thought? Seriously, this engagement stuff just made him off the wall.
Spike caught up, now beside her. She gave him a questioning look. "I'll be right back, y'know."
He shrugged. "Yeah, got nothing better to do." As an afterthought he added, "Plus as Niblet tells me, you have a thing for a band member." He smirked as Buffy punched him lightly in the arm, reddening.
"Geez, you die and all of a sudden everyone knows your secrets. Just great." She was going to kill Dawn when she got a hold of her, just as soon as she found out if anyone knew about her secret passion for Growing Pains re-runs.
