Buffy and Angel met Cordy outside the arena where Spike would be performing. Buffy suddenly felt like she was an idiot and made the biggest mistake of her life. She was glad that at least she was smart enough to invite Cordy, that way when Spike & Angel fought, which was inevitable, she could not have to be standing there all akward.

Of course, all could not go as well as Buffy's last resort. Because soon after Cordy met them a man who looked alarmingly like Angel showed up. "Hello my Princess." He said to Cordy.

Buffy gave them a wierd look which Cordy noticed. "Don't look at me like that! What if someone from the press takes a picture? It'll be in a news paper saying 'News Flash- Cordy's 'friends' think she's a freak'!" Cordy said over dramatically.

"Cordy, I really don't think-" Buffy started but then Cordy interupted.

"Besides, I *am* Groo's princess, right?" Cordy told, more then asked, her boyfriend Groo.

"Yes beautiful one." Groo said.

Buffy just raised her eyebrows and sighed as in to say 'whatever'. Then she sighed again because she realized Cordy would have Groo, so Buffy *would* have to witness the horrible-ness. She sighed one last time in fear that their would be no horrible-ness because Spike wouldn't care enough about her to start something.

"Buffy, guess what!" Cordy said turning her attention back to the sulky blonde "I got us the BEST seats! They're boxes so I don't have to mingle with the commeners, they're really close up, and the only way to get to them is through backstage! We'll probably run into the band!" Cordy said ecstaticly not noticing Buffy's face slip into one of terror.

"Cordy, it's dangerous back there, are you sure there's no other way?" Buffy asked. She knew she have to deal with Spike sooner or later, she was just hoping for later."

"*Yes*. Jeez, would I lie to you? We should go now anyway. We don't want to miss one second of the show!" Cordy said very energiezed.

"Yeah." Buffy said with false enthusiasim that died before the word was over.

The four of them, Buffy, Cordy, Groo and Angel walked to the backstage door where they were quickly admitted. They continued walking down a corridor until finally Buffy could see the door to the VIP box. 'Home free!' Buffy thought gleefully, then realized she jinked herself and knew Spike would show up right then.

Sure enough suddenly, there Spike was. Not only that, but he had Harmony with him. 'Yippe' Buffy thought sarcastically.

"Oh, hey guys, Buffy." Harmony said overly nice, the whole time looking at Groo. "Do you want to introduce me to your friend?" She asked.

"Uh, no." Cordy said "And he's *my* friend!"

Angel went up to Spike "Uuuuuhm." He said trying to think of something to say. Finally he just stuck out his hand indicating Spike shoul shake it.

"What?" Spike asked "Wanna do that buzzer thing?"

"No, no!" Angel said hastily, showing Spike his empty hand.

Spike nodded "Oh, cuz that's the only way I would've shaken your hand. Nobody's actually ever done that to me, and I've always wondered what it would be like."

Buffy walked up beside Spike "Come on. Why can't you guys make-up."

"You made up enough for the both of us!" Spike said bitterly "Buffy, I really thought you were a strong bright individual. But you're going back to the guy that left you for some chick who would give it to him more."

"I don't need this!" Angel said angrily, stomping over to Cordelia- uh Cordy (You never know where there could be press)

"Niether do I, Spike!" Buffy said, almost in hysterics. "Besides, I just did it to try and get you jealous!" Buffy spat, then quickly covered her mouth with her hand, realizing what she said. "No, I meant, uh... to get rid of a this guy named Marcellus!" Buffy said lamely "No, because my Grandma lives in Bruxelles. That's the capital of Belgium." Buffy said even more pathetically. "Fine, the truth is, it was because Angel is one of my fellas."

"Buffy, shut up." Spike said and quickly kissed Buffy. "Ooops, never mind. I thought I saw Marcellus."
