Chapter Fifteen

"Bloody hell! There are two of you!" Spike exclaimed as he looked at the Giles in front of him and the Giles behind him.

"Rosie save yourself, it's the attack of the clones" Spike said as he continued to stare at the two of them.

"Hello" said the Mr. Giles in front of him. "I'm Gilbert Giles, Rupert's twin brother." Gilbert said as he reached him hand to shake spike's hand who at the moment was still frozen trying to process the information just given to him."

"See, as I said, I would never hire my boyfriend. After all he's all mine."

"Oh put a sock in it Rupert." Gilbert said.

"Hey, hey. When we are here I am the boss. Even if you were born five minutes earlier. Don't forget if it weren't for me you would have no job." Rupert snipped.

"Don't take that tone with me. After all it's not my fault that casting directors in this town can't see talent if it was dangled in front of their botoxed faces... But other than that thanks."

"No worries, you're my big brother after all."

"So you two are twins?" Spike asked as he finally stepped out of his trance.

"Yup. The Giles twins." Rupert said proudly.

"Identical twins." Gilbert corrected.

"I should have known. It's uncanny you two look so alike."

"Well no worries about it. We're very different. Like for example he's gay and I'm not." Gilbert said.

"Or that I'm a half inch taller than him." Rupert said.

"Are not! You only look taller cause you wear those bloody platform shoes." Gilbert argued.

"Are too!"

"Are not!"

"Are too!"

"Okay, okay, break it up. We have casting to do." Rosie yelled. She turned to Rupert and asked: "Is he the person you chose to play the "watcher"?"

"Yes."

"Okay, good. Nice to meet you." Rosie said as she shook his hand. "I'm Rosie by the way and this is Spike."

"Spike, nice to meet you." Gilbert said as they shook hands.

"Okay everyone let's get seated. I'll sit here in the middle and spike sit here at my right and Rupert you sit over here at my left. Gilbert you sit way over there far from Rupert at Spike's right."

"Okay, here comes the first candidate for the role of "Charisma". Her name is Amy Madison."

Spike recognized the girl who came in as the same girl who he bumped into a few minutes ago. She did her scene and Spike had to admit that she was a pretty good actress.

"Okay, thank you for your time." Mr. Giles said as she left.

"Okay one down, thousands to go." Rosie commented as the next girl came in.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

meanwhile...

"Hey!" Buffy greeted Scott as she sat down at the restaurant where they were supposed to meet.

"Hey." A waiter came by after a few minutes and they ordered.

"So what are we doing today?" Buffy asked.

"Well, I was thinking we could go shopping then we could get a facial or better yet a massage. That is if you're not busy." Scott said.

"No, not today. I think I have a casting call though tomorrow for some movie called "Charisma the vampire slayer.""

"Really? That sounds bad."

"Well... maybe it seems a bit weird but the script is genius though."

"If you say so dearie, just remember you're just starting so be careful. You don't want to head down the path of straight to video movies."

"I know, but my agent says it's not a bad choice. Plus the director is Mr. Giles again."

"Really? Well that's an advantage for you since he knows you."

"Hopefully."

"Don't worry if you don't get it though. Once 'Doughnuts' hits the big screen you're going to be a star."

"Thanks. So what about you? Any projects?"

"For now? No. I'm still reading scripts though."

"So you're not going to do anything?"

"I thought I'd just bum around maybe go on a vacation with Charles. I feel like having a real tan instead of all the fake tans I have to wear."

"Well, you do seem stressed but be careful though, your secret would come out."

"I know what you mean. You are only one of the few people who know."

After that their food came and they talked about other topics. They had gotten really close during the filming of 'Doughnuts'. So close in fact that Scott felt he could trust her enough with his big secret... the fact that he was gay. His agent thought it would hinder his career as a budding heartthrob to announce that he was gay. After all he had his female fans to think about. When he told Buffy though, she wasn't surprised. She already had an inkling that he was gay and when he told her she didn't care. She was his friend and who was she to judge him.

After about an hour, they finally finished eating and left.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

later that day...

"No one? None at all?" Spike asked. It had been a very long day and his nerves were shot especially since after every few girls who auditioned, Gilbert and Rupert found something to squabble about.

"Well... I kinda liked the first girl but I don't think she has enough spark." Rupert innocently replied.

"She wasn't bad." Gilbert agreed.

"I think she would be better to play Cornelia, the bitchy popular girl. She has this air of confidence quality about her." Rosie added.

"Okay, fine. We will get her." Rupert conceded.

"But what about the lead role?!?!" Spike asked. Out the thousands of girls they had seen that day, Amy had been the best.

"There is always tomorrow Mr James." Rupert said.

"What? You expect me to come here tomorrow?"

"Well you didn't really have to come today. I really don't understand why you did in the first place." Rupert argued.

Truth be told, Spike didn't really understand why he did come in the first place. He guessed that in some way maybe he could find someone. Someone talented enough and beautiful enough that could hold a candle to Buffy and maybe in some way make him forget or at least suppress what he felt for her.

'She has that silly poof Scott Hope for a boyfriend or at least potential boyfriend in the first place anyway.' Spike grumpily thought.

"So why did you come?" Rosie asked, her voice breaking into his thoughts.

"Just curious that's all but after today, I'm definitely not coming in tomorrow." Spike announced as he headed out. He definitely needed a smoke.
