Jack sat in the bronze he was uncomfortable here, the music was too loud and the people were having too much fun dancing, the one thing he was having difficulty learning. He was meeting a potential room mate here, a girl Lily Pastilles. He sat a table watching out for her she said she'd be wearing a red sweater.

Lily ran into the Bronze twenty minutes late. She was attacked on the way over by some vampires. She killed them easily enough but she was getting sick of them attacking her. It was like she had some kind of sign on the top of her head saying bite me please. She had to take off her red sweater and was left in a black string top.

Now to find this Jack Smith. She looked around for people sitting alone, there were three possible. One a lanky, red head with a beard, a dark haired guy who looked highly uncomfortable and was scanning the crowd and a peroxide blonde guy who looked like he wanted to be Johnny Rotten and was a vampire. Hold on, she thought, I don't know that but it just seems to fit. God, she thought I hate being a slayer, look I'll just ignore him and if he attacks me I kill if he doesn't- live and let live.

She approached the dark haired guy.

'Hey there are you Jack?' she asked nervously.

'Yeah, Lily Pastilles?' he questioned.

'That's me. So what are you looking for in a room mate?'

'Can you pay rent?' he looked serious.

'Yeah. Do you have a criminal record?' she smiled.

'Nope. What are you doing in Sunnydale?

'High school junior. You?'

'Same. What age are you? I'm eighteen.'

'Same. How about loud music does it bother you?'

'No. why are you an eighteen year old junior?'

'Parents died when I was fifteen I ran away and bummed around Europe for three years. Now I need an education so I don't have to be waitress for the rest of my life. How about you?'

'I was sick as a kid. Leukaemia and I missed too much school so I stayed back two grades'

'Cool. What's the apartment like?'

'Two bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom and a living room. Pretty comfy but small'

'I can deal with that. So am I your new roomie?'

Jack paused a while before answering 'Sure'

'When can I move in?'

'As soon as possible?'

'Tonight then. I don't have anywhere to stay yet.'

'Perfect'

Jack was shocked at how easy it was to get a room mate but glad rent was due next week and he needed some to half it with and Lily seemed unique and pretty but in a supermodel way. She had high cheek bones, black hair and pale skin, so pale that he had to double check she wasn't a vampire and emerald green eyes. Gorgeous but no attraction, he thought to himself.

Okay, she thought, he seems ok and if he tries any funny business I can hit him and leave. He seems a bit serious though. A little too broody, and a little young looking for eighteen but whatever.

'I love this song!' she said excitedly. Jack just stared at this girl as she jumped up and started dancing next to the table, before grabbing his hand and dragging him to the floor. Oh no, he thought, I can't dance. Lily didn't seem to notice she grabbed his hands and led him through the moves. Maybe this will work out, he thought as she swung under his arm, I need to learn how to be a teenager.
