Buffy was lying in her bed having a very odd dream
when she heard her sister
come into her room.
"What do you want?" She said with her face
stuffed down in the pillow.
"Do we have a flashlight?"
She craned her neck to look at Dawn.
"Why the hell do you need a flashlight?"
"Me and Jen are going skating and I need
it."
She scowled at her younger sibling.
"So you finally got a hold of mom?"
"Yeah. Why else would I be needing a flashlight
to go out?"
"I swear! Everything that I plan just gets
flushed down the toilet."
"Buffy, why are you yelling at me?"
"Well, you could have mentioned to mom that I
wanted to go out and come and
woke me up so that I could go out and have fun for a
change."
"Do we have a flashlight or not."
Buffy turned back over and ignored her sister's
question.
"God. Fine. Be that way."
She walked out of Buffy's room, slamming the door.
I am so sick of my pathetic life. Slay. School.
Sleep. Slay. School. Sleep. It's all just a vicious cycle. Well, looks like
another night at home with mom and my trusty books. Not to mention I have to
patrol. Ugh!
She turned over and rolled out of bed. She pulled on
her blue jeans and tossed her flannel pants aside. She combed her hair,
washed her face, and
brushed her teeth. If she was going to be spending a
night alone at home, she would at least be doing it looking good.
Buffy, you're loosing it.
"Who's here to notice?"
She took Dawn to the skating rink, picking Jen up along the way, and made her
way back home for a lovely evening with her mother and the TV. She got online to see if Will was on, and was in luck.
She IMed her:
666VaMpSsUcK666: Hey Will.
NetGirl:
Hey. Whats up Buffster?
666VaMpSsUcK666: Willow?
NetGirl:
No, its Xand. Me and Anya are babysitting Mrs.
Kitty Fantastico while Tara
and Will are out. Whatcha doin?
666VaMpSsUcK666: Absolutely nothing. Everyone has a life except me. Me and Will had talked
about going to the movies, but, I guess that's not
gonna happen.
NetGirl:
You wanna come hang with me and Anya? Will
said she'd be back.
666VaMpSsUcK666: Nah, I think I'll spare myself the groping. I'm gonna go call mom and see
what she's got planned for tonight. Maybe I'll get
lucky and she'll have
something interesting planned for a change.
NetGirl:
Bye Buff. Hang in there. It's not all that
bad.
666VaMpSsUcK666: Later Xand. Yeah right!
She signed off and called her mom.
"Hello?"
"Hey."
"What's wrong?"
"I'm 20 years old and I have no life. That say
anything to you?"
"I thought you were going to the movies with
Willow. Dawn was saying
something about it on the phone."
Buffy growled.
"You know, if I would have known that I would
have left 10 minutes ago and
been able to make the movie, but no, all she wanted
was to know if we had a friggin flashlight."
"Calm down Buffy. What's the matter with
you?"
"Oh, just the fact that all the plans I make
get flushed down the toilet and
that I have to be a taxi for Dawn all the time. I
cannot wait for her to turn 16."
"Buffy, if you don't want to drive Dawn around
any more, just say the word
and that car of yours is gone. You don't have to
drive you know. You've got
two capable legs and all your friends drive."
"Mom, you know that's not what I meant. I don't
mind driving her around...I just hate doing it every single time she has the
whim to do something. You know what? I'll just spend another Friday night here
with you."
"Well, don't make it sound so terrible. I'll be
home from work in about 30
minutes. What do you say me and you go get a bite to
eat?"
"I can hardly control my excitement."
"Good bye Buffy."
"Good bye mother."
Buffy hung up the phone and threw it at the couch.
She looked outside to see
that it had already gotten dark.
Mom won't mind if I go out for a bit.
She wrote Joyce a note and grabbed her jacket and
bag and walked out into
the night. The air was muggy. She had heard early
that morning that it was expected to storm badly overnight.
Great, just my luck. She walked to Restfield
and did a sweep of it in
about 15 minutes and then headed to Weatherly.
"Where are the vamps when you need something to
pummel?"
"Well, I'm a vamp, but I hope you don't pummel
me."
She turned around to see Spike walking towards her.
"Spike, you might wanna keep your distance or
you will get your ass kicked
with the mood I'm in."
"Who got your panties in a wad?"
She gripped her stake and her eyes flashed angry at
him.
"Alright alright. I just thought you might like
someone to talk to. But, I
guess I'm not wanted."
He turned to go.
"Spike, wait, I'm sorry. I'm just really pissed
at Dawn right now."
"What'd Nibblet do this time? Steal your
favorite dolly?"
"NO! She ruined my plans. Well, Willow helped,
but it was mostly her."
"What'd she and Red do?"
"Well, first of all, Dawn didn't tell me and
mom had OKed me going out with
Willow to the movies tonight, and then, come to find
out, Willow was out with Tara. Guess she just forgot all about our
plans. But, then again, everyone seems to be forgetting about me
lately."
Her head hung low and she almost walked into a tree.
"Tree."
She looked up.
"Oh, thanks. And Xander asked me if I wanted to
come and hang with him and
Anya, but I really don't wanna watch them make out
all night. So, here I am, trying to blow off some steam."
"Where's Peaches?"
She looked at him, annoyed.
"He's not coming until this weekend. He got a
case at the last minute."
She mumbled something under her breath about monkeys
and killing people? It was all very odd.
"So, I'm stuck at home with mom tonight.
AGAIN!"
"You're mum isn't all that bad. I think she's
great."
"Well, then you take my place and I'll stay out
patrolling all night long."
"Well, I could join you two and then at least
we'd have something interesting
to talk about."
He flashed her a smile.
"You know, that wouldn't be so bad, but I have
to say no. Vamps, even you
Spike, hell, even Angel still weird mom out. Maybe
another time."
She smiled weakly at him.
"No worries. So, what do you say we go find
ourselves some bad guys?"
"Spike, do me a favor? Never say bad guys
again."
"What?"
She just giggled.
~~~
"Buffy, I'm home."
She walked into the kitchen and saw Buffy's note on
the fridge.
Out patrolling. Be back in a while. Love B.
She heard the front door open.
"Mom?"
"I'm in the kitchen."
"Hey." Buffy walked through the doorway
and kissed her mother on the cheek.
She went over and grabbed a bottle of water from the
fridge.
"So, what's up?"
"Just got home. How was patrol?"
"Spike and me found a nest. It was great. I got
to let off some steam. I'm
slightly less angry than before. But, only less. I'm
still pissed. I stopped by Giles's place to see if he had any assignments
for me. God, I'm getting pathetic. Even he turned me down."
"Buffy, it's just a Friday night."
"And every other Friday night in the past that
I've wanted to do something
and didn't get to because of Dawn or things beyond
my control...like, apocalypses. I'm sick of it."
"Well, what do you say me and you go rent some
movies and then we can come
back here and order a pizza?"
"You know with all the times I've made it a
Blockbuster night, I should
really own the store by now."
She followed her mom down the hallway and out the
door.
~~~
Buffy looked over at her mother's sleeping form on
the couch. Dawn had
called earlier and said she'd be staying the night
at her friends. Buffy got up out of the recliner and decided to do one more
sweep before she called it a night.
Evil never rests after all.
She grabbed her jacket and headed out the door. She
found herself in
Weatherly Park again. She'd already dusted two vamps
when she felt a pair of arms wrap around her waist.
"It's late. Why aren't you at home?"
She beamed.
"Angel! I thought you weren't coming until this
weekend."
"We had a break in the case late last night.
Gunn told me he could handle it
the rest of the way. What's wrong, you're all tense
and angry and stuff."
"I've had the night from Hell. Seems no one
wants to be around Buffy anymore. They're going skating, or they're out with
their girlfriends, or sitting at home drinking tea and catching up on
their demon reading."
"I wanna be around you."
He kissed her softly on the lips. They kissed for a
long moment.
"So, why don't we sit down and you tell me
about what's been happening
around here that's got you all fired up."
"Well, it all started when Dawn came into my
room today while I was asleep."
Buffy proceeded to tell him the events of the night
that had gotten her so
angry and he listened attentively like any good
boyfriend would do.
"Well, I say, we go and buy some cookie dough
fudge mint chip, go back to my
place, and snuggle."
She smiled at him and kissed him.
"Well, that might just be the one thing that
could turn this night around.
Why are you so good to me Angel?"
"Because I love you."
"I love you too. Now, let's go get that ice
cream. I need comfort food."
"What is it with women and ice cream as comfort
food?"
"Things high in calories equal high in comfort.
It's just the way we are."
They walked out of the park and towards the nearest
24-hour store. They
ended up back at Angel's place snuggling on his
couch where Buffy fell asleep in his arms. This had turned out to not be
such a bad night after all.
The End
Feedback time...Do you wanna see me Angry? I don't
think so...I'll hunt you
down...really, I know where you live :)
