Chapter 6

(meanwhile at Buffy and Dawn's house)

Captain Andrew is sitting in his sleek leather arm chair in his sector when a dark haired woman in a purple nylon jumpsuit enters through the portal.

"Nendromica." Captain Andrew says in a low and sexy voice.

"Oh Captain, the most awful thing has happened!" She squeals. "An NB17 has hit sector 9 and taken out almost all of damage control and fuel storage!"

"Never fear, Nendromica, I have the Enterprise on full alert, everything is under control."

"Oh, Captain, you're so brave. I think I'm in love with you..." She says wispily as she advances toward Captain Andrew.

"Mmm...don't go Nendromica, nooooo..." Andrew moaned as he slowly awoke from his dream. He rolled around in bed for a few more minutes before finally getting out and going down the stairs in his Pokémon PJ's.

"Buffy? Dawn?" He called as he looked around the empty house. He noticed a yellow sticky note stuck to the refrigerator door.

Buffy will be back soon. I've gone to the fair. Co Co Puff's in the pantry.
Don't do anything stupid.
-Dawn

Andrew finished reading and walked over the pantry. He fixed himself a bowl of Co Co Puff's and headed towards the living room. He picked up "Captain Underpants: Revenge of Sir Plunger" and plopped down on the couch. He turned the pages to chapter 6; "Attack of the Nuclear Donuts." Just as Sir Plunger was about to give Captain Underpants a wedgie, the doorbell rang. Andrew sprang up from his seat, and grabbed his baseball bat. Ever since the night he had opened the door to a werewolf because he thought he was a stray dog, Andrew had been a little jumpy. He slowly reached out his hand to the doorknob. Then he quickly flung the door open and shouted "Back citizen! Or face the consequences!" with his baseball bat behind his shoulder and ready to swing.

"Hello there sonny." Said the man in the doorway.

Andrew didn't move from his ready position and shouted even louder "WHO ARE YOU!"

"The name's Black, I'm looking for Draco Malfoy, I was told that he's staying here."

Andrew lowered the bat slightly and said in a calmer voice. "He's not here, he's staying at Spike's. Now go away or I'll sick Buffy on you!"

"Is Buffy your dog?"

"No. She's our super strength slayer friend! Go away!" And with that Andrew shut the door in his face.

Buffy and Spike were laying on the floor of Xander's basement, her head on his stomach.

"Spike?" Buffy said.

"Hmm?" Spike answered.

"What's your real hair color?"

"What?"

"You're natural hair color, what is it?"

Spike groaned. "You wouldn't believe me."

"Try me."

"Red."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I'm a carrot-top. I'm half Scottish you know."

Buffy choked on a laugh.

"What?" Spike asked irritably.

"Nothing." Buffy smiled. "Just imagining you in a kilt."

"It's definitely not a pretty sight."

They laughed and Buffy sighed. He s

"Spike?"

"Hmm?"

"When was your birthday?"

"Don't remember."

"Why not?"

"When you're dead you really don't need to know the day you were born."

"Course' you do. You're the living dead aren't you? So isn't the day you died the day you were born as the Spike you are now?"

"Hmm. Never thought of it that way before."

* * * * * (Meanwhile at Willow's)

Willow burst through the front door and plopped down next to Xander on the couch.

"Alright Xander...are you ready...for.the.ultimate.movie marathon!"

"Hell yeah."

"Okay..let's see.we've got "Saturday Night Fever," "The Little Mermaid," "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," The complete set of "Indiana Jones," "E.T.," and of course, marshmallows!"

She tossed the bag of Jet-Puffed Marshmallows at Xander and got up to put "The Little Mermaid" into the VCR slot.

"Oh, you sweet woman." Xander said as he stuffed a jumbo marshmallow into his mouth.

(Spike's place)

Draco and Dawn opened the newly installed door and walked into the cold room, still soaking.

"Well that's something I've never done before." Said Dawn.

"What? Gone swimming in a pond in your pajamas?"

"That and getting thrown out of the county fair for disturbing the peace."

They both fell down on the floor laughing and leaned against the concrete wall. After a few moments of total bliss Draco turned to Dawn and said. "Today's a day for firsts."

Dawn closed her eyes momentarily and thought, "Here goes nothing."
