Chapter 17: Prom
"So, have you asked him yet?" Willow asked Buffy and Faith.
"They have a choice?" Buffy said as her and Faith shared a looked, of course their vampires had a choice.. whether they were wearing a tux or not.
"What about you? Oz asked yet?" Faith asked, wanting to make sure that her friend had a date, before Willow could answer though Buffy's phone went off.
"Ya? Uhh.. Got it, we will be there." She said and clicked off the phone; looking at Willow she sent an apologetic look. "Sorry, but that was Doyle, the PTB have sent him a vision of someone wanting to do a Carrie at the prom. Faith and I have to go to his house and kill the beasts before he lets 'em out for a test drive later today." Taking one last look the slayers, made their way to the mansion.
"Angelus! Spike! Get down here." Faith yelled. Both vampires rushed down the stairs weapons in hand, ready to attack anything that came within reach, both slayers started to laugh, causing the two vampires to glare.
"What?" Angelus asked.
"You're interrupting 'Passions.'" Spike told them, causing the slayers to laugh even harder and both vampires to glower.
"Doyle had a vision, we have to go kick demon ass." Buffy told them.
"Let's go." Angelus said and both girls started to laugh again.
"What?" Spike asked.
"You might want to put some clothes on." Faith told them, causing Spike and Angelus to look down, they all knew that if the two men could blush they would be at that point.
"Right then, be right back." Spike said as him and Angelus made a dash for their rooms.
"Do they have tux's'?" Buffy questioned, eyeing the other slayer.
"I'm not sure, although they have been alive for what hundred years plus, they should." Faith said, as she paced the room, patience was defiantly not her virtue. "Finally," she said as Spike and Angelus entered the room.
"Have patience, grasshopper." Spike joked and was hit for his joke.
"Not my virtue."
"You have virtues?" questioned Angelus and earned a glare from Faith, who almost hit him, except Buffy stopped it.
"Evil person now, and tormenting each other later. I swear you all act like kids."
"Sorry, Mother." Angelus, Faith, and Spike said together. Buffy turned and glared at them, but decided that they needed to leave quickly, so she stuck out her tongue and left the room, knowing that the others would follow.
"So," Faith asked, as the group made it's way to Tuckers house, "do you have tux's?" Spike and Angelus looked confused.
"Why do we need tux's for slaying?" Spike questioned.
"Prom, end of the week." Buffy said. "You're supposed to take your slayer there. Remember?"
"Yes." Both vampires said, although it was clear that they had no idea what Buffy and Faith were talking about.
"Not that you really had any choice in the matter." Faith said, "It was between you and some other guy." She told them, looping arms with Buffy and walking ahead. Neither slayer missed the growling that occurred when what Faith said had sunk in. Angelus and Spike rushed to catch up, getting between the two slayers.
"No guy is taking you anywhere, touching you in anyway, or had better not look at you for that matter, as long as I am alive."
"Your not alive." Buffy pointed out and giggled when he growled at her.
"Undead then." Angelus said, between clenched teeth as he fought the urge to let his demon out to play.
"Good, then you're taking us." Faith said, as her and Buffy shared a look. They reached the address that Doyle had given them and eyed the building, while the vampires sniffed a little and made a slight face.
"Brains."
"Yes?" Buffy questioned. "What about them?"
"We can smell the remains of brains, pet." Spike said, "So that means whatever he has in there needs to eat brains to stay alive."
"Which probably means it is a hell beast of some kind." Angelus added, as him and Spike took the lead and walked down the stairs, to the basement. Buffy and Faith looked in the windows and could see some ugly hounds strapped in cages watching movies with Prom in it, they looked at each other and shook their heads. What was the world coming to, when a whiney twit could raise hell beasts? Angelus and Spike knocked down the door and encountered the invisible barrier, both snarling in disgust.
"We can handle this boys." Faith said, as her and Buffy sauntered into the basement, like they owned the place. They searched the two rooms, looking for Tucker, but could not find him. Shrugging they simply went to each cage and shot the dog with a crossbow.
"All done." Buffy said, pulling out her cel phone to call Doyle. "Yep, all done. Alright, see you there." She hung up the phone and turned back to the group. "It seems that we have a Scooby meeting later on tonight, something about the other Wesley. The one that is still evil and that we can kill." She told Faith, both girls looking a little too excited by the prospect of killing the other Wesley; Angelus and Spike rolled their eyes and were promptly hit.
"What?" Spike asked and was hit again, while the slayers looked at them with looks that spoke, 'You know what you did.' "Bloody slayers, always hitting first." Spike muttered to himself as they made their way to the mansion to "sleep" until the Scooby meeting later.
Library: Later that night
"So glad you could make it." Giles said, sarcastically, as Angelus, Spike, Faith, and Buffy strolled in, late. Giles, Wesley, Jenny, Cordy, Doyle, Willow, and Oz were sitting around the table looking through the books that littered the table.
"It is a Sharlaka demon." Wesley told them, "They are a fierce bred of warriors that are mercenaries. They are able to shape shift and they are quite hard to kill, although the blood of a slayer will kill them. It also seems that they can travel through dimensions."
"Alright, so we lace a sword with mine and B's blood and we go run him through. Thanks for the talk, we'll go do that now." Faith said, turning to leave.
"We have to wait for graduation remember? He thinks that he is invincible." Giles said, stopping both slayers. "And we need to talk to Spike and Angelus about the spell they need to perform on Saturday."
"But Saturday is Prom!" Buffy told him, "He is not missing it."
"No, they will be missing part of it, in order to do part of the ritual." Giles told the slayers soothingly, not wanting to irate them anymore, because he did have to train with them.
"Fine." Faith said, while Buffy and her pouted.
'Pull that lip back in before I bite it,' Angelus thought, looking at Buffy, who quirked an eyebrow and looked at him.
'Really promise?' she asked and giggled when he groaned.
"Would you listen?" Wesley asked, "Because I am trying to explain how this ritual works and you are not helping."
"I'm sorry, drone on." Buffy told him, with a mock salute, while Spike snickered and was hit by Willow and Cordy.
"Hey! Vampire Abuse." He declared.
"Alright! Get out, you four, you really don't need to be here right now, so leave." Giles declared, verging on letting Ripper out to play. The four beat a hasty retreat back to the mansion, where prom plans were discussed and finally sleep overcame them.
Saturday: Mansion
Buffy woke to the sensation of two strong arms holding her.
'I will never get used to that.' She thought, trying to slip free without waking Angelus, but she only succeeded in causing him to growl.
"It's too early, go back to sleep baby." Angelus told her, pulling her back into his arms, never once opening his eyes.
"It's Saturday!" she exclaimed, "Time to get up and get ready."
"No, it's time to let the master vampire sleep with his beautiful mate."
"No, prom is in a couple hours, silly. I have to go with Faith to get our hair done and you have to go do the spell of Oreo or whatever." She said, pushing him out of the bed and laughing when he gave her a disgruntled look. "You needed a little help out of bed." She told him, when he had managed to pick himself off the ground and started stalking her. "You so deserved that." Angelus looked at her and stalked closer. Buffy backed up and tried to figure out if she could make it to the door before he got her. As she was thinking, Angelus pounced, grabbing Buffy and throwing her onto the bed, landing on top of her and holding her down with one hand, while he tickled her with the other.
"No fair." She declared, as she tried to draw in air, while he tickled her unmercifully. Buffy managed to get her hands free and flipped them over, before leaning down to kiss him. Pulling away she got up from the bed and looked at him, "Now go get ready," she ordered and laughed when he pouted.
"Faith? It's time to go." Buffy yelled. "So, stop fucking Spike and get your ass down here." A few seconds later Faith emerged from one of the other rooms and Buffy smirked at Faith's rumpled appearance.
"Like you and lover boy weren't going at it." Faith told Buffy, playfully hitting her as they walked out of the mansion. Angelus and Spike shook their heads and made their way to the library.
"Rupes." Spike yelled in a sing-songy voice, "We're here."
"And on time," Wesley said, looking at his watch, "Let me guess, the girls kicked you out." He chuckled when both vampires nodded, both slightly pouting at the thought.
"Ahh, good you're here." Giles commented; as he walked out of his office, book in hand. "We can get started."
"From the blood of the chosen's mates," Spike and Angelus said together, cutting their finger and holding it over chalice. "We call on you Goddess, to protect this earth and allow no magic to be used against us and ours." They threw the "stinky" herbs into the chalice and watched it go poof.
"So, it went poof, could we go now?" Spike asked, anxious to go find Faith and to see what she was wearing.
"Yes," Wesley said, while Giles and him picked up, "You can go change in Giles' office." Angelus and Spike quickly went to change in the office.
Gym
Angelus and Spike were the first to arrive, so they waited by the entrance of the gym for the girls and the rest of the Scooby gang. Willow and Oz came in first, followed by Cordy and Doyle, and then came Buffy and Faith. Buffy wore a strapless dress that fitted the top and then flowed down at the bottom (the one she wore at the prom). Faith was wearing a mid-thigh, glittering dark green dress that was just form fitting, Spike's mouth dropped. How dare she wear that where any male could see it! He shrugged, she looked hot and he could beat off any pup that he needed to. They approached their mates.
"You look beautiful," Angelus said, taking her hand and kissing it.
"You don't look so bad yourself." She told him, taking in Angelus in a tux.
"Dance?" he asked and before she could answer, he pulled her out onto the dance floor for a slow dance, when the music was stopped and they started to announce class awards. Faith and Buffy shrugged and made their way to the punch bowl, they hadn't been in school long enough to get an award for anything. "Is Faith Morgan and Buffy Summers here?" Jonathon asked, as he was forced to take the microphone, the crowd parted like the Red Sea. "This is a new award. We aren't friends, but don't think we don't notice, whenever there is something strange or weird you two are always there to save the day."
"Hyena People,"
"Zombies."
"Snyder."
"We have the lowest death toll in Sunnydale History, so, the class would like to present you with an award, Class Protectors." He held up two umbrellas and Buffy and Faith made their way to the front to accept them. They smiled and nodded on the way back and were grabbed for a group hugs by everyone else. Angelus and Spike smiled and Giles made his way over, taking the umbrellas, so that they could dance.
"I didn't know youth of all mass could be so generous." He told them and they both smiled.
"Sometimes people surprise you." Buffy said, as Angelus and Spike lead her and Faith out onto the dance floor.
Childhood living is easy to do The things you wanted I bought them for you Graceless lady, you know who I am, You know I can't let you slide through my hands
"Yes, they do." He muttered to himself, before handing the umbrellas to Wesley and leading Jenny out onto the dance floor.
Wild Horses, Couldn't drag me away, Wild, wild horses, Couldn't drag me away... I watched you suffer a dull, aching pain Now you decided to show me the same No sweeping exits or offstage lines, Can make me feel bitter or treat you unkind
"I love you," Buffy told Angelus, as she laid her head on his chest and danced with the music.
Wild Horses, Couldn't drag me away, Wild, wild horses, Couldn't drag me away... I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie, I have my freedom but I don't have much time Faith has been broken tears must be cried, Let's do some living after we die
"I love you too." He said, kissing the top of her head and pulling her closer, needing her to be closer than she already was.
Wild Horses, Couldn't drag me away, Wild, wild horses We'll ride them someday Wild Horses, Couldn't drag me away, Wild, wild horses, We'll ride them someday
