"So, what's with the stunt that you pulled off just now?" Doyle asked as they headed to the dance floor. Buffy proceeded to tell him the whole story. When she finished, Doyle laughed.

"You're good. No wonder Angelus cannot defeat you."

"Thank you for the compliment, kind sir. So, are your friends here?"

"I think so." Doyle frowned. "I only saw Oz, but I'm pretty sure they would come."

"Oh... Well, I need to go to the toilet now, please excuse me." Buffy said and she left. Just before the toilet was in front of her, two men stopped her.

"Hello, miss. Which company do you come from?" Two middle-aged men, one with a balding head and the other with greying hair approached Buffy.

"I'm just a student." Buffy answered easily.

"Which college are you from then?"

"Entente College."

"Oh, no wonder you looked so beautiful, but you do seem to give off a feeling that was different from others."

"Of course she gives off that kind of feeling. During high school, she was a juvenile delinquent, she was pregnant and aborted her babies twice." Darla suddenly appeared out of nowhere and cut into the conversation.

"That's the difference. She is very special, isn't she?" Drusilla added in as she almost materialized on the other side of Buffy, making it impossible for her to escape.

The two men nodded awkwardly. "Right... uh.. yes. Please, ladies, excuse us. We're going there to order wine, and we will see you later if we can."

Buffy glared at the two of them when the men left them. "It was actually you guys who wrote the things on the board."

"Yes, it was us." Drusilla admitted maliciously.

Darla walked over to Drusilla's side in front of Buffy. " Do you want to know the reason, Ms.-I-am-such- a-slut. It is because you attracted too much attention, and this made people dislike you."

Drusilla continued. "We hope that you will vanish from our sights quickly, so we wrote those words."

"We wanted to let everyone know so that you will become even more unpopular and get kicked out by the principal. After all, the principal must get rid of people that make a bad reputation on the school. With those rumours of you being a deliquent, it would look bad on the school. Of course, we would have to say Sayonara to you."

"But why ME?" Buffy asked in confusion and anger.

"Why? Are you stupid or something? We spent so much money and time to become the best and most beautiful women, because we hoped to marry the best man we could find." Drusilla explained, her disgust and hate for Buffy evident in her expression and her voice. "Our goal is to marry men from F4. How could we tolerate a girl so normal and plain like you, flirting and playing with them the whole day?"

"You should also know that you're not the same as us. You are a low, lying, scheming, seducing slut who only wanted money. Even when we stood beside you, we felt ashamed. Do you really think we'll want to be friends with you? Dream on!" Darla said with disdain. They laughed and walked off, leaving Buffy alone wallowing in her sadness, as tears came to her eyes. But no one could take those insults and betrayal lying down, and Buffy soon became angry instead of sad.

It's not use wallowing in misery. I have to let them see that I am not a person to be bullied. If they don't want me to stay, then I'll stay on! I won't let be frightened off by them!

Darla and Drusilla faced the mirror as they touched up in the toilet. "Like people of our status would go and invite people of her status to such a party. She is so stupid."

"Don't talk about her anymore. Say, at the party just now, why are you flirting with that fat slob, Mr. Jenkins? I was so disgusted that I wanted to puke." Darla grimaced.

"Puke? Darla, that will destroy you perfect image in front of the others. Do you forget, the oath that we mad? Our goals are to become a CEO's wife and get rid of those people who stood in our way. Who cares if that rich guy is fat or bald? We'll just get him first. When we found a more handsome and richer man, we'll dump him later, after spending his money." Drusilla smiled and preened in the mirror.

"You're right, Dru. Come on, we should get out there to get the next rich guy!" She high-fived Drusilla. Then, they packed their belongings and left the toilet.

Right after they left, the toilet door behind them opened. Buffy walked out to the mirror. When she thought of Darla's and Drusilla's conversation, her head immediately formulated a plan. She smiled as her eyes sparkled with mischief.

This is called an eye for an eye.

***

When Buffy walked out of the toilet to carry out her plan, she was suddenly pulled away by someone. She gasped in surprise when she encountered a pair of chocolate orbs that was haunting her dreams for weeks.

"Angelus." she finally gasped. The she felt guilty when she remembered what happened the last time.

"What are you doing here?" they asked each other in unison.

"Hey, I said that FIRST!" they said again in unison.

They both glared at each other. "You answer first!"

Buffy sighed. "Can we stop saying the same thing?"

"It's your fault." Angelus sulked which earned him a hard glare from said accused.

"So?"

"Well, the others dragged me here. I wanted to wallow in misery at home in silence." He admitted.

Buffy laughed. "Why?"

"You hurt me. You caused me to fall on my butt. It hurts a lot."

"You're a big baby, you know that?"

"I am so not! Why are YOU doing here?"

"DUH, I am attending the party. Oh my god! I actually have a decent conversation with you, the ugliest brat in the whole wide world called Angelus Renaldi. I can't believe that. Now let me go, I so do not want to talk to you, and I am busy with a lot of things like…" She babbled before realising what she was doing an shut her mouth.

"You're cute when you babble." Angelus said sincerely.

Buffy was really shocked. "Now I really have to go." She said before shrugging off Angelus' grip on her arm and walking away.

"Oh, no, you don't, get back here." he jerked Buffy back.

"What, young master?" Buffy asked sweetly, her voice like honey, although her eyes told a different story.

"Would you be kind enough to dance with me?"

"Excuse me, did you forget something, Mr. Renaldi? I seemed to remember someone who ordered people to kidnap me, bribe me, indirectly attempting rape on me. We are famous enemies, I would say that it would not look good on you to have me in your arms."

"I want to dance with you. So?"

"Yes." To her own horror, the word was out of her mouth before she could shut it.

She quickly amended herself. "One and you will get out of my sight."

"Two and I'll leave automatically." Angelus replied evenly, though he was jumping for joy inside.

"Fine." Buffy sighed. Angelus hid his delight and took her hand in his before leading her out to the dancing floor. Her hand was small and warm like she was, giving Angelus a desire to protect her from everything.

~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@

I wonder should I tell you

About all the crazy things that I have done

I've been hiding all my life

When I should have stayed

I tried to run...

~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@

Angelus had noticed her that since she came in. He had not known at first that it was Buffy, not until she was dancing with Doyle. Only then he had realised that the spirited girl and archenemy of his was actually a very beautiful young woman. After that, wherever she went, Angelus' eyes were always on her. Needless to say, he also heard what Darla and Drusilla did to Buffy... But for the moment, he didn't care. She was in his arms and every other thought not concerning her flew out of the window. When the song started, Angel put her hand on his chest, covering it with his.

~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@

I was searching for an answer

In a world so full of strangers

But what I found was never really enough

Now that I've found you

I'm looking in the eyes of love

~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@

Buffy sighed. She had been thinking about the man she had been dancing with for weeks. Everyday, she was tormented with the thoughts of him. He was her public enemy, for god's sake. She was not supposed to dance with him, fantasize about him or dream about him. She was supposed to hate him. But somehow, she cannot find any reason to hate him.

~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@

Baby you've been good to me

Oh, so much more that you could know, yeah, yeah

I never thought that I would find

Someone who's so sweet and kind

Like you...

~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@

Angelus sighed silently as he breathed in the faint vanilla scent in her hair. He had thought about this woman everyday.

Why did she make me feel this way? She was his public enemy, for god's sake. He was not supposed to think about her all the time, dream about her or even talk to her. He was supposed to fight and argue with her. Somehow, he had no interest in picking a fight with her.

~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@

Please believe me when I say

This time I won't run away

I swear by all the heaven's stars above

Now that I've found you

I'm looking in the eyes of love

~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@

Buffy laid her head on his chest, just allowing the feeling of being safe and protected to wash over her. She cannot explain what came over her all of a sudden and she didn't care. She just wanted to be in that moment. After this, they would go back to hating each other.

Will we? Will anything change between us after this dance? Buffy started to wonder. She decided that she don't want to know right now... She just wanted to enjoy the beautiful and peaceful moment.

~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@

Looking in the eyes of love...

I can see forever, yeah...

I can see you and me

Walking in this world together

Oh, my heart's found a hope...

I've been dreaming of...

Now that I've found you

I'm looking in the eyes of love

~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@

After they danced for two songs, Angelus smiled at her before leaving. Buffy wanted to call after him to make him stay but she didn't. Instead, she caught his arm and dragged him to a secluded part of the party.

"What are you doing now?" Angelus asked, confused and annoyed.

"Shh... Stay here. There is going to be an interesting show soon. Wait here and watch." she told him, with eyes sparkling with excitement and mischief, before leaving, causing Angelus to wonder what would happen...

"Hey, what show are you talking about?" he called after her.

***

"Hello, I'm Drusilla Peters." Drusilla smiled brightly, batting her eyelashes flirtatiously.

"Hello, I'm Gerard McDonnell. You looked beautiful tonight, Miss Peters." he complimented.

Drusilla blushed fakely. "You're too kind, Mr. McDonnell."

"You're very correct, Mr. McDonnell, she is as beautiful as a black cobra snake." Buffy appeared and hugged her friend. Drusilla was so shocked at first when she felt herself being hugged by Buffy.

"Is she your friend?" Gerard asked, confused.

"Uh... no! She's not, she's not my friend at all..." Drusilla shook her head vigorously.

"Yes, yes, yes! We're best friends, right?" Buffy cut in cheerfully, ignoring Drusilla's glare.

"Didn't you say you brought me her to fish for rich guys? And you also said that the next one would be

even richer? Yea!" Buffy high-fived Drusilla while Gerard stared in shock. Drusilla just smiled weakly at Gerard.

"Is that guy a stupid and rich one? Can we hook him?" she fake-whispered.

"Huh? Are you calling me a fool?" Gerard exclaimed.

"No, no, no, I didn't..." Drusilla said pathetically.

"Yes, you did!" Buffy said as she clung onto Drusilla's left arm like it was a lifeline. "Do you know how a cobra like her should be treated, Mr. McDonnell? Like this!" Buffy swiftly swiped a glass of wine and poured it all over Drusilla.

"Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!" Drusilla screamed as she felt the sensation of cold wine poured over her. She quickly got away from Buffy and started to tidy herself. Her dress was all right but her hair was now hanging limply on her shoulder and she looked horrible.

"Waiter, is there any napkins?" Gerard asked while the others were all now gathering around. Darla, who heard Drusilla's scream too, quickly ran over to help her friend.

"Are you all right, Dru? What happened? What did you do to her?" she asked.

Buffy calmly put the glass on the tray the waiter presented to her and turned to the girls. "Let me tell you, you guys are trying to go against the wrong person. If you girls really like F4 so much, why don't you woo them yourselves? What does it got to do with me? Though, I would like to say, girls like you do not deserve any love from men."

"Don't you think that we'll let you go so easily. You should know that, we can get our revenge on you as easy." Darla said in anger.

"Then do it." Buffy shrugged. "Maybe in your eyes, I'm just a grass, a thing that is easy to destroy. But you would never be able to get rid of me, so get used to it." Buffy said before walking off gracefully and confidently, with Darla and Drusilla staring off at her in hate and contempt and the others looking at her in admiration and interest.

Doyle, Oz and Spike were behind them, as they watched the scene.

"She's awesome." Doyle said in amazement.

"Cool." Oz said without emotion.

"She got a fire." Spike said, impressed.

In the shadows, Angelus was grinning. Buffy Summers would never cease to amaze him. He quickly slipped out of the shadows to follow the leaving guest.
