Author: Am-Chau Yarkona

E-mail: spam@hagden169.fsnet.co.uk

Summary: Following a very revealing Scooby-bash, various pairs wake up in uncomfortable places.

Rating: PG-13 (nothing worse than the show)

Pairing: (s!) Buffy/Clem, Willow/Drusilla, Giles/Spike, Xander/Harmony, Dawn/other, Lorne/Anya.

Spoilers: None (I think)

Warnings: Silliness, hangovers.

Author Notes: Probably helps to read the first two parts (and the mini series that precedes them) before you get to this section.

Story Notes: Once again, in screenplay format, to avoid having to put in long descriptions. I can't help it if only my writing-ears and not my writing-eyes are working.

Disclaimer: Joss is God, the Grr Argh monster could kick my ass (also my plastic donkey).

The Summers House, 7:00am.

The kitchen

Anya: .lots of coins.

Lorne: Anya! Anya- you're dreaming.

Anya: Oh. Awake now.

Lorne: Good morning.

Anya: No. Bad morning. Sunshine. Very bad.

Lorne: You're not a vampire, what's so bad about sunshine?

Anya (covering her eyes): Bright. Bad.

Lorne: Hangover, petal?

Anya: Yes. Could be.

Lorne: Let me make my hangover cure. You'll be bright as a button with in ten minutes of drinking it.

Anya: Is it disgusting?

Lorne: Well. Not if you're a Jarak demon.

Anya: They don't have any tastebuds.

Lorne: True.

Anya: You sure it cures hangovers?

Lorne: Yes.

Anya: Then what are you still lying on the floor for, idiot? Make me some.

Lorne: If you say so, Anya-baby.

Willow's bedroom

Wesley: Huh? A girl's room? Where is Dawn, anyway?

Dawn's bedroom

Dawn: So I did make it upstairs. That has to be good. I wonder where Wesley ended up?

The bathroom

Giles (his eyes still closed): Spike? Why do I feel like I've got two taps digging into my back?

Spike: Because we slept in the bathtub.

Giles: Ah. That would explain it.

He opens his green eyes and looks into Spike's blue ones.

Giles: Spike, why are you lying on top of me?

Spike: It's much more comfortable than the taps.

Giles: Revenge for those days you spent chained up?

Spike: Something like that.

Giles: Would you care to get off me?

Spike: I'd rather get you off. but if you insist.

He moves back to the other end, allowing Giles to sit up.

Spike: We've got all day, Rupert. Want to.?

Giles: Not just now. Maybe later, William, when I've recovered a little.

Spike: And when will that be?

Giles: Ask me again sometime next year.

Spike: You don't wanna, you know.

Giles: No I don't. Please leave me and my headache alone.

Spike: All right, all right. I'm going.

The living room

Drusilla: Pretty one is waking up now. Did she like her party?

Willow: Uh? Oh, morning Dru.

Drusilla: It's all a mess.

Willow: I'm sure we can clear up later.

Drusilla: I drew the curtains when the sun started to come up.

Willow: Good. Well done.

Drusilla: The dolly says you might like to cuddle me now.

Willow: Oh? Uh, guess so.

Drusilla: Umm. Pretty hands, nice cuddle.

The hallway

Harmony: Xander, wake up.

Xander: Not a good plan.

Harmony: How do you know?

Xander: I just tried it.

Harmony: That would be one way of telling. I want you to kiss me.

Xander: Worse than Anya.

Harmony: Shut up! Stop comparing me!

Xander: .but still more romantic than Faith.

Harmony: If you want a thing doing.

Harmony captures his mouth in a kiss, the only sure-fire way to shut Xander 'Babbling' Harris up.

Buffy's bedroom

Clem: Morning, Buffy. Cup of something warm and wet?

Buffy: Clem, you are a saint.

Clem: Well.

Buffy: Saintly demon. Coffee, please.

Clem: Some party, huh?

Buffy: I don't remember that much.

Clem: You fell asleep fairly early on. I had to half carry you upstairs.

Buffy: I had a long day yesterday.

Clem: No need to do much today, though.

Buffy: Good. But I have in mind some things I'd like to do- since I didn't drink enough to get a hangover.

Clem: I like the way you're.thinking.
