Authors note: WOW the next chapters out with-in the week. I think that's
off to the right start. I promise to try to keep this up. Now on with the
show.
Chapter 6:
He noticed her the second she entered the club. And watched her look around before noticing him and the gang. He caught her gaze for a second, and gave her a short wave hello, before turning towards Sketchy, and trying to look as if he hadn't been sitting waiting for her, since he got there.
Of course when you're having a convo. with Sketchy you don't really have to hold your own. As long as you pretend you believe the stories he's giving you he keeps on telling them. Then again, Alec realized, that might not be such a great idea for the future, since Sketchy's Stories tend to become more and more impossible as time goes on, and if anyone caught him believing one of them, he would be branded an idiot for life.
He listened for her footsteps as she approached the group of Jampony workers, she slowed down as she neared them and announced her presence.
"Hey Guys." said Buffy "Thought I might take you up on your offer, and check this place out."
The group offered their own friendly greeting, as Alec pulled out a chair next to him for her. As he did this Sketchy leaned over to OC and whispered, "Looks like you might have some competition."
"Just give OC time, if the girls even the slightest bit gay, Original Cindy will get her." replied OC.
Over hearing the exchange, Max added her thoughts, "Boo you know I have the utmost confidence in you abilities, but it would take a blind man not to realize you don't even have a chance there."
All three looked towards Alec and Buffy who were already deep in conversation. "I've never seen him like this," Max confided in OC. "He seems to connect with this girl, it must have something to do with her past. I told you how she looked when I found her."
Meanwhile...
The second Buffy sat down, Alec and her struck up a conversation. Even though neither of them could talk about their pasts, and most of the major parts of their lives, somehow the conversation never waned. Buffy was able to learn more about the city she now lived in as the conversation continued.
'Why in the world do I feel this way,' thought Alec, 'Somehow its like we have this understanding, though how that's possible I don't know. I mean I'm a freak of nature that could kill a normal person with one blow, and was just placed in a city where I don't belong, and am constantly force to fight for my life, while Max and Logan send me on missions to help save the world. While she is... Well she's a beautiful girl who has no idea about things like fighting and be an outcast.' Alec signed inwardly at this thought, underneath the happy exterior he showed to the world, sometimes he just needed to know he had someone by his side who completely understood him and loved him. 'Ha like Buffy will ever be able to understand, she'd probably freak and phone the police, if she ever found out.' But even as he thought those worlds they sounded false.
Buffy had been having a great time, somehow she and Alec just seemed to click even though they had nothing in common and she couldn't talk about anything in her past. 'He's really cute, but I'm sure he knows that.' Her thoughts taking a depressing turn, 'He probably has tons of girls throwing themselves at him all the time. So even if he is interested, he won't be after he realizes that I seem to disappear allot at night, and go through clothes like I've got money to waste.' 'Me and my strange little life... boys just don't fit in very well, maybe it has something to do with my strength.' she mused before turning her attention back to Alec.
"Hey Buffy, Want to dance." asked Alec.
"Sure," replied Buffy smiling as he put his arm around her waist. 'Oh my god, I feel like a giddy teenager, I've danced with tons of guys before. I can't remember feeling like this since, well since Angel.' The mention of that name stopped her cold.
Alec noticing her stiffen and pause, looked at her with concern, "You OK?" he asked while rubbing her back soothingly.
"Yeah, fine." she replied unconvincingly. He shot her a look that said, he didn't believe it but didn't want to push her. "I'm fine really, I just thought of someone I haven't thought about in a long time. But sad thoughts go away when you dance, so come on." With that she started walking towards the dance floor followed closely by Alec.
Later that Night
Max, Buffy, and OC were relaxing in the living room, doing their nails and gossiping after coming back from Crash.
"So... what's with you and Alec?" asked Max, who was smiling at the obvious discomfort that question caused for Buffy.
Blushing, Buffy thought of the slow grinding they had done on the dance floor, and felt the pit of her stomach grow warm, "Well he's really nice, but I'm not sure if I'm ready for a relationship, you know. Relationships and me just don't work, they start of great, but then something always goes wrong just when I think everything's great. But anyway that's my problem. How about you guys, what's your love life like?"
Max smiled sadly at the innocent question that tore at the scabs around the so recent wound in her heart. Buffy noticed the look in Max's eyes and recognized it from her own eyes in the days of Angel.
"Hey, you know what, I'm tired, so how about we just crash. I don't think Normal would appreciate me being late for first full day of work." said Buffy trying desperately for a new subject.
Max smiled her thanks and then, got up to search for some bedding for Buffy, who was going to be sleeping on the couch.
'Hey thanks for not pushing that Question on Max, she's been through a hard time with her boy Logan." whispered OC.
"I found some!" yelled Max, as she walked into the room with a triumphant look on her face, holding up a old sleeping bag and I pillow. "I know it isn't much-"
"But it's about ten times better then what I have been sleeping on." Interrupted Buffy, "Which I am very grateful for"
"Girl we've both been out of luck before," Max indicated OC and herself " and the only good thing about a post-pulse Seattle is that people understand the suffering of others." answered Max, as she walked into her room.
They quickly made up the couch, then OC and Max left to their own rooms, as Buffy fell quickly asleep.

They stop as they hear a noise from down the alley they are crossing in front of. Xander raises the blaster and switches it on as they start walking into the alley. In the dark they see someone lighting a cigarette with a zippo. The person flips the lighter closed and Spike steps out into the light and sees them.)
Xander: (lowering the blaster)
Spike. Giles: What are you doing here?
Spike: Me? I'm not the one out of place here.
Xander: For your information, smarty, we've got a rogue Slayer on our hands. (turns the blaster off) Real psycho-killer, too.
Spike: (concerned) Sounds serious.
Giles: It is. What do you know?
Spike: (helpfully) What do you need?
Xander: Her. Dark hair, yea tall. Name of Faith. Criminally insane.
Giles: Have you seen her?
Spike: Is this bird after you?
Xander: In a bad way. Yeah.
Spike: Tell you what I'll do then. Head out, find this girl, tell her exactly where all of you are, and then watch as she kills you. (he grins)
(Giles and Xander just stare at him, speechless. Spike rolls his eyes and sighs.)
Spike: Can anyone of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I HATE you all? Just because I can't do the damage myself doesn't stop me from aiming a loose cannon your way. And here I thought the evening'd be dull.
(He starts his way out of the alley, deliberately bumping into Xander's shoulder as he walks past them and takes a long drag on his cigarette.)
Xander: (calling after him) Go ahead! You wouldn't even recognize her!
Spike: (faces them, still walking backwards) Dark hair, this tall, name of Faith. Criminally insane. (turns around) I like this girl already.
(They just stare after him as he walks off. They look at each other.)
Xander: We're dumb.
Authors note: Well as you can see I am getting better. I already have an idea for the next chapter. I was wondering if it was possible for anyone who reads this just to send me a short (or long ) note so I know how many people are reading this. Well anyway thanx and the next chapter will be out hopefully very soon.
