PART 4
"Like I'm ever going to Spain any way." Buffy was saying as she and her friends rode the escalator. As soon as they reached the top, something caught Buffy's eye. "Ooh!" She ran into the nearby boutique and grabbed a bright yellow leather jacket. "This is so lush! Wouldn't you just love me in this?"
"Guys what's the sitch? I'm bored." Kimberly complained as they caught up with Buffy.
*You're always bored.* Buffy thought to herself. Aloud she said, "What do you think?"
As Jen smiled and began nodding her head, Kimberly just rolled her eyes in disdain. "Please. That's so five minutes ago."
Hearing that, Jen shook her head and mimicked Kimberly, "Yeah."
The others walked away and Buffy followed, looking back at the jacket longingly. They left the store and Kimberly opened her mouth again.
"So, what are we doing?"
"Movie?" Buffy suggested, brightening a bit.
"Well, where?"
Jennifer shrugged, "Omniplex?"
"No THX." Buffy said.
"Ugh," Nicole gagged, "They don't even have Dolby!"
"Beverly Center."
"They show previews for foreign movies."
"AMC?" Nicole asked.
In agreement for once, Buffy and Kimberly shook their heads. "Bogus corn." Buffy said.
"Totally stale," Kimberly agreed. "And the ushers are, like, the acne patrol."
Nicole sighed, "Pavilion. Sitch?"
"Sounds toasty." Buffy said. "We're going to Pavilion."
Jen nodded, "Excellent."
"As long as we don't see Bordello of Blood. I saw that already." Buffy said as they entered the elevator. She pressed the button closed and before the door shut a figure held it open.
He was tall and probably in his forties or fifties and he wore a shabbily treated suit under an old brown trench coat. He stared at Buffy his eyes aware of every little thing. The man let go of the door and Buffy glared.
"Excuse much. Rude or anything?" She said and pressed the button again. As the door closed her friends began giggling.
"Nice ensemble!" Kimberly muttered sarcastically.
Nicole giggled again, "What a homeless!"
_______________
"And your parents are going away the whole weekend?" Nicole asked.
"That's the plan." Buffy said as she nibbled on a piece of red licorice. The four girls had been sitting in the theater talking so much that Buffy realized she didn't even know the time.
Jen took a sip of her soda, "Ugh. Your parents are always going out for the weekend. You're so lucky."
Buffy muttered, "Yeah, I guess."
"Will you shut up?"
The girls spun around to see Spike and Scarlet making out behind them. Next to them were two boys staring at them. One was tall and kind of cute in a disheveled way, and the other was slightly shorter with a hawkish nose and all in black.
Buffy rolled her eyes, "It could happen."
The taller one spoke up, "Boo!"
"Buzz!" The shorter one screeched.
"It's the lochness monster!"
"Like, take a chill lozenge!" Nicole huffed.
Kimberly snorted, "Yeah, like we don't have rights too."
"Ignore them." Buffy said as the group began to giggle, "Just ignore them."
"I don't believe this!" Shorty replied, "We paid good money to see this!"
The tall one hissed at his friend, "No we didn't."
"Oh yeah." Shorty said. But I still want to know what happens."
Spike finally looked up with a low growl, "Bloody hell. Everyone dies. The bimbo with the nightie kicks the monsters ass..."
"In a totally unrealistic way, seeing how the monster killed everyone else and survived a few explosions." Scarlet chimed in.
"Only it's not really dead." Spike finished. "Happy? Now shut up!"
The girls just stared at him.
"Really?" Jen asked.
"Probably." Buffy said. Her eyes had wandered to a nearby face near the back. She smiled to herself as she saw Xander and some girl pelting the boys with popcorn and gummi bears. "What movie is this again?"
_______________
Xander and Lila walked out of the theater in time to see Buffy's boyfriend drive away. Xander watched Buffy wave at Jeffery with a wistful sigh.
Lila followed her time hopping victim's gaze. She blinked and nudged Xander. "Hey. We're here in the past. Make a move!"
"What?"
"Geez." Lila said, "Are you that dense? She's staring at you right now. Smile at her."
Xander smiled as he was ordered to, and Buffy came bounding over. Her friends just stared in shock at her.
"Hey Xander." She said brightly. "Nice leather jacket."
"Uh... thanks." He said nervously, "Lila here picked it out."
Buffy glanced at Lila and a millisecond of jealousy flickered across her face, unnoticeable to everyone but Lila. "Hi. I recognize you. You're the girl who humiliated Grueller."
"That would be me. I love to make an impression." Lila said with a wry grin.
Buffy smiled mildly, "Hey, he got his." She turned to Xander, "What are you doing tomorrow?"
"Me?" He squeaked out, "Uh... nothing. I'm completely free."
"Not any more." Buffy said. "After practice you can come with me to the museum. I have to make sure this thing mom ordered shows up." She glanced at her friends who were whispering and peeking stares at her. "I better go. I'll see you tomorrow!"
As Buffy bounded away, Lila watched Xander stare after her. She left Xander on the steps and headed for the street, only to run straight into a disheveled looking guy with brown hair and a look of a drug addict.
"Ahh!" Lila shouted as he stumbled away from her. She glared at the hat wearing fellow next to him, and pointed, "Keep night of the living undead away from me whistle boy!"
Whistler blinked at her in confusion, "Do I know you?"
"Uh... no." Lila grabbed Xander, who had finally decided to come down the steps. She dragged him off to a nearby junky jeep, the same color as her hair. She shoved him into the vehicle and hurried to the driver's side.
"What's your problem?" Xander asked as he rubbed his arm, "Ow... I think you dislocated my arm."
"You wimp. Didn't you recognize those two?"
"Where?" He craned his neck to see and his eyes widened, "Hey that's dead boy!"
"Duh. This was back when he first started stalking her." Lila said as they pulled onto the street.
"Can we stake him?"
"No. He does save a few lives ya know. So no."
"Damn it! Please?"
"No. But I'll let you beat him up next time we see him."
"Cool." Xander said. "Hey, we forgot something."
Lila blinked in confusion and realized they were short two passengers. "Oops."
___________
Scarlet and Spike didn't even notice their ride had left. In fact they pretty much forgot that they came with any one else. Walking down the street they heard a blood-curdling scream from the nearby carousal.
"Is that. violence I hear? Blessed violence?" Spike asked hopefully.
Scarlet shrugged, "Beats me. Let's go look."
The couple rushed over to the carousal to see a short, brainy looking vampire mauling the one and only Grueller. After a quick look around, Scarlet noticed a leather clad vampire with dingy brown hair that reached his shoulders. A look of annoyance crossed the vampire's face briefly, but quickly gave way to a grin.
"William the Bloody!!" The vampire cried out from his perch on a carousal horse.
Spike grinned back, "Bloody hell, Amilyn! It's been ages! Still working for Lothos?"
Amilyn strode over to the couple, "All you can eat and free traveling. It's a great ride." He looked Scarlet over. "Ooh. take out?" He reached out to her and Scarlet did an inhuman leap away.
"Don't touch me!" She screeched at him.
"You always did like them feisty, Spike." Amilyn said with a shake of his head. "Care to share in the pretty find?"
"That's my girl you're talking about eating!" Spike said.
"Really? Dating breathers now? How low have you sunk? And what ever happened to Dru..." There was a sudden crack as Spike's fist hit Amilyn's face. The vampire stumbled back in shock and covered his nose. "By dose!" He hobbled away and waved at the brainy vampire, "Kill him!"
Four eyes dropped Grueller's limp form and ran at Spike. He was within five feet of the blonde when he stopped dead in his tracks. He stared behind Spike at the sight ahead.
The other two vampires followed his gaze. Behind Spike stood Scarlet and she was wearing an elaborately decorated white tunic with long wide sleeves. Across her chest was an ornate cross. The vampires all stepped back instinctively. In one hand she held a flowing red gymnastics ribbon. In her other hand was a small wooden pin, which she flicked at the fledgling vampire.
The vampire shrieked and fell to his knees in pain. With one last shriek he turned into dust and the pin clattered to the pavement. Without a look back, Amilyn ran away as fast as he could.
Spike just stared at her his mouth open in horror. "What did..."
"It's a gift." Scarlet squealed with a gleeful giggle.
