Three months later Jack had gotten used to his room mate. He'd found a job in the double meat palace. It wasn't exactly what he saw himself doing but it paid the bills. Lily on the other hand was having a tougher time finding a job but she'd had an interview today so fingers crossed she'd get the job.

The first thing he heard when he opened the door of the apartment was Lily singing along to Pearl Jam. This could be a good sign, he thought, maybe she will finally stop borrowing cash off me. Then he heard the second voice. He was shocked Lily never brought people home because they went out most nights to the bronze or they had pizza and watched movies. They had a routine, he'd rented a movie and brought pizza.

'Lily I'm home' he yelled, heading for the kitchen 'I brought pizza and a movie' 'Thanks Jack, meet Dawn' she said as she entered the kitchen with another girl. Jack stared at the pretty girl with long brown hair. 'Jack, sweetie, Don't stare! in the civilised world one would answer an introduction with a greeting of some kind' Lily teased. 'Erm sorry Dawn, I'm Jack.' He stuck out his hand to shake hers. 'Hi Jack. I'd better be off I'm meeting Xander to go for dinner' she grabbed her jacket. 'Ok' Lily answered 'See you tomorrow and thank you so much for the help with the job. 'No probs' she answered 'Bye Lily, Bye Jack' with that she left the apartment.

'Who is she?' asked Jack as soon as Dawn left. 'Dawn Summers, 16, also a junior as Sunnydale high, I have history with her and she helped me get a job today' answered Lily amused. 'Will you introduce us again?' he asked nervously 'Sure I will but didn't you hear I GOT A JOB!!!!!' she screamed and ran around the kitchen. 'Congrats Lily. Where?' 'The magic shop on main street.' She started to sing as she danced around the kitchen 'i'm a working girl, I'm a working girl, I'm a working gir- wait working girl is a euphemism for- oops!' she stopped a second then began again 'I have got a jo-ob I have got a jo-ob!'

The next evening Lily arrived home battered and bruised. She didn't want to be a stupid slayer but all these vampires and demon type things kept attacking her and she didn't want anyone else to get hurt. Her life sucked and now she'd have to explain to jack how his denim jacket which she wasn't supposed to borrow got shredded up. She headed for the shower to get rid of the green demon goo in her hair. She'd figure out how to explain it to him, she could say she had an accident with a paper shredder at work.

Jack arrived home a few minutes later relieved to hear the shower running. He wasn't too sure how to explain how he cut his arm and how one of the legs of his jeans got ripped off at the double meat palace. He supposed he could say he was attacked by a mob of girls hungry for his burgers but it was easier to hide the whole demon fighting thing from Lily. She'd get too freaked out, he thought as he walked to his room to change.
