Buffy dropped the last box onto the floor in her new room. She plopped onto the floor and started rummaging through the boxes. "Buffy! Can you come down her for a minute, I need your help." Buffy went downstairs to help her mom.
"Mom, of all places in the U.S., we had to move here?! I mean, there is only one Starbucks in this town, one!"
"Honey, I told you, this was the only place in California that we could afford to move to and open up a new art gallery. The damn building inspectors condemned the last gallery. Who knew that termites liked art?" Joyce smiled.
"I can already tell that this place is going to suck."
"Don't worry, it'll all work out. Now, can you help me with the dishes?"
After Buffy and Joyce finished with the dishes, Joyce hugged her; "I have an idea, why don't you get out of here for a while. Go downtown and explore. It'll do you some good." Buffy put away the last plate and closed the cupboard, "Are you sure you don't need my help?" Joyce smiled, "Absolutely. I think I might just go to bed. I am very tired. We can finish tomorrow." Buffy grinned, "If you insist; Thanks mom." She kissed Joyce on the cheek and ran upstairs to fix her hair. She put on a white tank top, a sky blue button shirt, black pants, and high heel boots. Then she put her hair up and put on a solid silver, large cross. She did a quick makeup check and headed out the door.
Buffy parked her mom's car in a deserted parking lot and decided to actually walk downtown. "K, this might not be so bad." Buffy smiled as she looked in all the windows of the shops. She stopped when she got to a clothes store, "Ooh, this is VERY not so bad." She looked in the window and gazed at all the clothes, "I know what I am doing tomorrow."
"That's my favorite store too."
Buffy spun around to find a tall red head holding hands with a guy who had short, semi-spiked, reddish-orange hair. "Hi! I'm Willow and this is my boyfriend Oz."
Buffy smiled, "Hi. I'm Buffy."
"Did you just move here?"
"Is it that obvious?"
Willow smiled, "No, I just don't remember seeing you before."
"Yea, I just moved here with my mom from L.A."
The girl's boyfriend spoke, "L.A., wow. And you decided to move here?"
Buffy laughed, "No choice of my own."
Willow chuckled, "Don't worry, it's not so bad. What are you doing down here?"
"Nothing much, just exploring."
"Well, we were on our way to the Bronze to meet some friends. Do you want to come?"
"The Bronze?"
"Yea, it's pretty much the only place in this town that is worth going to. It could be fun; you will definitely meet people."
"Sounds like a plan."
When they arrived, Buffy saw a big bright sign that said "Bronze." They walked in and Buffy looked around, "Wow, big place."
Willow smiled, "Yep, it gives us something to do on the weekends. Ooh, there's Xander and Cordelia."
Willow took Buffy's hand and dragged her over to the couple. "Cordy, Xander, this is Buffy. She just moved here from L.A."
Xander and Cordelia smiled at Buffy; Cordelia held out her hand and Buffy shook it, "L.A. and you moved here?"
Buffy looked at Willow and smiled, "Yea, I know, I must be nuts."
Willow grabbed a chair from a near-by empty chair and gave it to Buffy, "Here, sit down. Do you want something to drink?"
Buffy sat down, "Um, yea, I'll have a coke. Thank you." Willow flashed a bright smile and headed to the bar.
Xander smiled at Buffy, "So, do you like it here so far?"
"It's ok. Not much to say, I haven't been here very long."
Willow returned with a coke and two other people, "Buffy, this is Harmony and Spike."
Buffy smiled at them; Harmony was a tall, semi-attractive, blond who had that snob look about her. Spike was tall, with bleached-blond sorta spiky hair. Buffy couldn't help but notice that Spike wasn't all that bad looking either. She could tell that he was one of those bad-boy types. "Hello love."
Harmony could see Spike giving Buffy the eye and she smacked him. Spike winked at Buffy and grabbed Harmony's hand and pulled her towards the dance floor.
Buffy looked at the others, "That was interesting."
Cordelia glared at the couple on the dance floor, "Yea, well, Harmony used to be my best friend until Spike came along. She has totally changed."
Xander grinned, "Yea, she went from snobby bitch to Spike's bitch."
Willow and Oz chuckled.
Cordelia glared at him, "Well, one good thing did come from Spike's arrival...Angel."
Buffy raised an eyebrow, "Angel?"
"Angel is Spike's cousin. I could tell you what I think of HIM, but somebody here might get a little jealous." Cordelia snickered at Xander and he just glared at her.
"Sounds interesting." Buffy got up, "Bathroom?" Everybody pointed towards the other side of the room. "I'll be right back."
As Buffy made her way to the bathroom, she was scanning over the crowd. All she could see were normal, everyday teenagers hanging out after a boring day of physics, history, and homework; but then something caught her attention. A tall, dark, and gorgeous guy. He had on black leather pants and a dark blue silk shirt. He was dancing very hot and heavy-like with a girl who had brown hair and was wearing a black leather mini-skirt and a leather jacket that looked too big for her; Buffy figured it belonged to the guy. The guy looked away from the girl and caught eyes with Buffy. He noticed that Buffy was staring at him; he checked her out, gave her a seductive little smile, then focused his eyes back to the other girl. Buffy realized that she was staring and she quickly looked away and went into the bathroom.
When she got back to the table, she smiled, "I think I'm going to like it here."
