Eve walked into the Hyperion, Dawn next to her. They both chatted about the normal teenage girl things: make-up, boys, and celebrities. Spike followed, keeping an eye on Eve. Even if she was 'human', as she said, he didn't trust her as far as could throw her when…he was human anyway.

Angel heard the door open from the second floor. He recognized Eve's scent immediately and Gunn's too. But there were others with them. He took another whiff and bounded down the stairs.

"Spike," he snarled as soon as he saw his childe.

Spike just sneered, "Peaches."

"Welcome to the Hyperion Hotel, my home…" Eve said dramatically. Everyone just rolled his or her eyes.

"Peaches, can it be…you're showing emotion, other than anger or brooding for a change!" Spike made a verbal challenge to his sire. Angel did not fall for the bait though.

"Well the times change William, people change. But of course you wouldn't know that, only ones with souls really change," Angel smirked.

"Bloody pouf," Spike just muttered under his breath.

"I just love it when Daddy plays dirty," Eve whispered to Dawn.

"Um, I hate to say this, but are you some kind of reincarnate of Drusilla?" Dawn asked.

"That crazy 'ole bat? Hell no. I would rather be neutered (wait, I can't be neutered) than be part of her," Eve spit out.

"Bitter much?" Dawn asked/

"Just a bit. You would get like that when people leave you for dead, or in my case to get staked or for the sun to come up," Eve responded.

The two stood in silence for a few moments. Looking at Spike and Angel glaring at each other and occasionally threw insults at each other.

"Well since those two are going to catch up, why don't we got our of here? It may become a little bloody," Eve decided and made her way to the stair.

They soon came upon the door that led to Eve's room and the two stood in front of it. Something moved in the room. Surprised, Eve threw open the door to reveal a girl with bright blue hair shaking herself off, a few feathers were at her feet, more were fluttering in the air around the girl.

Dawn stared, while Eve just sighed, "You have a few right there," Eve pointed to the girl's shoulder.

"Thanks," a light voice of a female teen answered back.

"Why don't you use the front door, that is the reason it's there," Eve pointed out as she sat one the bed, leaning against one of the many pillows. Dawn took the computer chair that surprisingly not covered by a mess of clothes, books and other items.

"But where's the fun in that? Besides, the Dark Avenger doesn't like me much," the girl shrugged.

"You peed on his leg," Eve said none too bluntly.

"I was a dog then. Besides, he was being a jerk," the blue-haired girl said, slightly miffed.

"Um, okay? Would anyone care to explain…I'm lost." Dawn asked looking back and forth between Eve and the other girl.

"Oh sorry. Dawn this is Harper, she's a shifter," Eve explained.

"Actually I'm a Yama Demon. We find the name shifter to be…insulting. I only look human by the way, save for the hair," Harper twisted a few strands around her fingers. "It's true that I shape shift, but I'm not very dangerous, just not harmless either," she grinned and sat upon the bed. She instantly changed into a can and settled down. "Comfy!" Harper said.

Dawn blinked," Did the cat just speak?"

Eve just shrugged, this had happened before. At least now she didn't have to cover for her blue haired friend.

Just then the door flew open. There stood a girl, her hair red and wild as fire rippled like water as she moved. Eve blinked, "Can't make a quite entrance can you?" she complained. "Mel, if you're not careful, you are going to break the door (again). Then I'll have to move. The last door's room hasn't even been fixed yet!"

Melissa just ignored her friend's complaint, "Did you know that your dad and some guy with a terrible dye job are duking it out downstairs? And I don't mean a cat fight, either."

"Dammit. Well I just hope they don't break anything, get blood all over the carpet (Cordy will stake them both and it's a pain to get out). And if it gets too out of hand, like Dad close to staking Spike, Gunn will stop them," Eve sighed and motioned for Melissa to sit down.

Mel nodded and made her way to one of the shorter bookcases and perched upon it.

Just then Eve realized that she had yet to intro duce her red haired friend, Melissa, to the dark haired Dawn. "Dawn the red head who just came in is Melissa, she's the one who likes to talk to dead people, like in that movie, the Sixth Sense…except she's more annoying than that damn little kid!" Eve chose to ignore evil eye that was given to her, "Mel that's Dawn."

"So…wassup?" Harper asked, still in cat form.

"Will you change back? It's bad enough that we have to hear you as a cat and you're shedding all over my bed!" Eve swatted at Harper.

"Touchy, touchy…" she muttered as she changed back. Eve just snorted.

There was a quiet moment when they all could hear what was being said from downstairs. "Tell me how you did it Peaches. Tell me how you changed the slapper," Spike taunted.

Angel didn't say anything for a minute, "Well William, it started like this…"

Five reviews, or no fic. I loved the reviews I received last time, and I would like to see more of it.

Much love,

Elizabeth, the friendly neighborhood pyro
