A/N: I've tired fan fiction before but it never goes well lol. So I would really like you to read and review so I can approve my writing and maybe actually keep this story going.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When they arrived home from the hospital they ordered a lot of pizza and I mean a lot! They had chips and pop out with several movies and blankets lying around.

Xander wasn't exactly in a good mood since the run in with Buffy early. He couldn't get what her problem was. But when he arrived home and they all snuggled together on the couch he felt pretty good. Well also considering that Anya was by him and Willow was on the other side, not saying he loved Willow like he did Anya is was just nice to have a friend near.

Willow had a bag of corn chips in her lap and was looking at the movies. She was actually surprised when Anya had invited her. Maybe her and Anya could learn to become friends after all. Since it was night Anya said they should get scary movies. Willow wasn't sure about that last time she watched a scary movie she had nightmares for weeks.

Anya was relaxed against Xander her arm in his lap so he could write on her cast with the markers. She was shocked yet relieved that he slipped his warm hand into hers as he wrote. She knew he wasn't just doing it to write better and she was glad that after what happened they might have something for each other still, but she was showing it a little bit subtler then she did the first time.

" Let's watch this one first!" Willow said while she held up the movie " Halloween" and went to the VCR.

" Is that the one with the guy in the fake mask with a fake knife? He could have killed those people a different way you know be more original." Anya stated as she passed the popcorn bowel to the middle.

" Oh come on Ahn. This is the best scary movie ever!" Xander said as if he was being insulted.

" I've seen worse and scarier ones then this!" Anya said as the movie started and she clung to Xander's arm.

" And that's why your scared right?" Willow said as she laughed while pointed at Anya's arm around Xander's.

" Am not! ok... I am" Anya said a little bit embarrassed.

"Shhh...It's starting" Xander said while chewing his pizza his mouth full.

Anya grabbed a blanket and draped it over her lap while grabbing a piece of pizza. Her hand slightly touched Xander and she could have sworn he blushed. Xander blush? Since when? The only timed he blushed was when she mentioned sex in front of his friends he was really good at it but that's beside the point. Was he embarrassed now? No or else he's be scratching his head like he does. She shrugged it off and turned her attention to the movie.

Xander breathed in and out slowly. He was so nervous he was going to do something wrong and screw this moment up. Anya was so close to him and he could smell her shampoo. Coconuts? Yes that was it he preferred the Tropical sent better though. He took a sip of his drink and kept his eyes glued to the TV to afraid to look at her.

Willow sat there watching the movie. Maybe she should watch them since it seems their more interesting then this. She could tell they were both doing some flirting. It reminded her of high school when everyone was too afraid to talk to someone they like this was exactly how they acted.

When the movie was over Xander stretched his feet out ready to stand up when he looked at Anya and she was fast asleep holding the popcorn. He looked to the other side and Willow was too he smiled thinking this was great a sleepover. No bad thoughts a sleepover well yes sleep over but not that kind. He gently got up and laid them comfortably on the couch and he took the place on the floor which he mostly situated for Willow, but oh well she looked cute asleep and he didn't want to ruin it. He fell into a deep sleep quickly.

On the balcony stood a man in a dark cloak watching them he seemed to be a vampire. When he saw young Harris go to sleep he went to report this to his master. But who?
