A/N- Oooh, I didn't get much reviews last chapter... =( anyway, here's the next chapter.
"Can I help you?" A red-headed girl with brown eyes asked him.
Spike wondered what he was doing here. He looked around, everywhere happy students, even if they just had failed an exam. He didn't belong here, but here he was.
Last thing he remembered, he was bored to death in his home, when he remembered what Dawn had said : if you ever feel like having some fun, I live in the local university. So there he was now.
"Well?" The girl asked.
Spike scratched the back of his neck. "Uh, I'm looking for Dawn."
She eyed at him. "Are you Roger?" Spike shook his head. "Come in." Spike looked around him. It was kind of a big room, for being a university room. It had two bedrooms, a bathroom, a small kitchen and a tiny living room. The girl led him into one of the rooms.
There was Dawn, sitting on the bed, with a black haired girl, with small chinese-like eyes, painting her toe nails.
"Dawn?" the girl with red hair said. "Um, you have visit."
Dawn looked up to see Spike. "Hi!" she greeted him. "So, I see you decided to come out of your cave, after all."
Spike hesitated. "Well, I was bored."
"You flatter me," Dawn smiled. Her roommates stared at the cute guy in front of them. Dawn noticed. "Oh, I'm so rude. I haven't introduced you to my roommates. Girls, this is Spike. Spike, this is Lucy," she pointed to the chinese-like girl, "and this is Alicia," she pointed to the red-headed girl.
"Spike?" Lucy muttered, with a giggle.
Dawn grinned. "I know," she mouthed to her friend. "So, you wanna go out, I guess," she said, turning to Spike, who shrugged. "Well, it can be pretty boring here, especially for you, so I'll take that as a yes. Just hold on a minute while I put a jeans on."
Spike noticed she was wearing tiny shorts, which fitted her very good. He gulped, and nodded. Dawn ran into the bathroom, with a pair of blue jeans in her hand.
She returned after a minute, wearing the blue jeans, and -Spike noticed -lip gloss.
"So," she said to her roommates. "I'll see you guys later. Oh, and if Roger comes, could you tell him that I had, eh, an emergency or something?" They nodded.
*-*-*
"Your friend laughed at me." That was the first thing Spike said.
"Huh?"
"Your friend, the chinese one, when you said my name," he sounded annoyed, which Dawn found very funny.
She chuckled. "She didn't." Spike glared at her. "Well, you gotta admit it's kinda funny. But I'm sure she didn't laughed at that." She shrugged. "Maybe she liked you, she giggles whenever she sees a cute guy."
"You're saying I'm cute?" Spike said, mischievously.
"Haven't you looked yourself into a mirror lately?" Dawn answered in the same tone. Spike glared again. "You really need to work on that mood of yours, you know."
There was silence for a moment.
"So," Spike began. "Who's Roger?"
"Oh, my date. But I didn't want to go out with him, so I asked my friends to tell him I had a headache and I couldn't go out of bed, if he showed up," she said simply.
"Why not?"
"Well, he's an airhead. He just talks about football, his muscles, and stuff like that. Pretty boring."
"Then why you agreed to go out with him in the first place?" Spike asked if it was like an obvious question.
Dawn rolled her eyes. "Because he is gorgeous!"
"Pretty shallow, aren't we?"
"Not always, but you haven't seen this guy."
"He can't be better looking than me."
"Oh, believe me. He is."
At this point they were out of the campus, already. They looked a bit stupid standing in the middle of the street.
"So, what do you feel like doing?" Dawn asked.
"You're the expert in fun here. Besides, I'll bet you know the town way better than me. You choose."
Dawn thought for a moment. "Well, there's this club where I work. It's quite good, and they know me, so we won't have to pay. Wanna go there?" Spike shrugged.
Dawn led their way, until they found a club named "The Place". In Spike's opinion, the name sucked, but there was a big crowd outside it, waiting to enter. Spike rolled his eyes, expecting to have to wait a long time before coming in. But just then Dawn grabbed his arm -making that weird feeling he'd felt the first night he saw her again, return -and led him to the back door. A big guy was watching the entrance.
"Hey, Dawnie," he smiled at her.
"Why does everybody here have to call me Dawnie?" she said to him. "Arnie, he is Spike, he's with me." Arnie nodded, and let them in.
A rush of loud music suddenly hit Spike. This place was crowded everywhere. They had a hard time reaching the bar. Behind it was a blond guy, wearing a white T-shirt. They sat down.
"Hey, Dawn," she said. Dawn had not lied. Everybody knew her here. "How is your day going?"
"So far, so good. What about if you give me a Coke, Luke?"
The guy handed it to her. "Are you having something?" he asked to Spike.
"Uh, a margarita, I guess," Spike said, naming the first thing that plopped in his head. The guy eyed oddly at him, but gave it to him, anyway.
Spike took a sip of his drink.
"So, tell me. How was that that you visited Angel? You didn't tell me the other night."
"Oh, it's not big deal. I just happened to be in the city with this friend. And he said he had to go visit someone, so I decided I'd plopped in, and surprise them. Angel didn't recognize me at first, same as you. But after I told him hey, I'm Dawn, Buffy's little sister, he was all nice, but he is really moody. Cordelia was great, she took me shopping."
Spike nodded. "And why'd you leave Sunnydale?"
Dawn shrugged. "I dunno. I guess I was sick of all that vampire slaying crap Buffy called a life. So I left."
"So, why are you hanging out with me, then?"
"I guess I never thought of you as a vampire-vampire. You just were this cute guy who helped us and never got old, or something. I mean, with that chip you had, you couldn't bite anybody, so..." she shrugged. "And why'd you leave Sunnydale?"
"I just wanted a change of crowd."
They talked for a long time. When they finally left the club it was 1 a.m. They reached the campus, and her dorm.
But before coming in, Dawn stopped.
"Oh," she said.
"What is it?" Spike asked.
Dawn pointed at the doorknob. There was a blue ribbon tied on it.
"What is it?"
"It's a sign my roommates and I have. It means 'do not come in, I have a guy here'. I'll bet it's Alicia. She changes of guy every two weeks. And Lucy usually goes to her boyfriend's apartment."
"So, what's the big deal? You have two bedrooms."
"Well... most likely, they'll be fooling around all night, knowing Alicia. And you know how awkward it is to wake up and know there's a naked guy next room?"
"So, what are you saying? You can't stay here for tonight? Where will you stay, then?"
"Uh... do you have a house?"
Spike raised his eyebrows, mischievously. Dawn grinned and hit his arm, playfully.
"Don't get your hopes up. I just need a place to crash tonight."
"You can stay with me, then. I guess."
"Great."
Spike had the feeling that this wasn't something new for her.
"So, where do you live?"
"In the cemetery," he said, kind of shyly.
"Why I'm not surprised?" she asked, sarcastically.
"Shut up. Or you'll have to sleep in the street."
Dawn laughed.
They walked in silence for a moment. Just then, Dawn felt somebody touch her shoulder. She turned around to see a very cute guy, with black hair, white skin and green eyes. Which at the moment were glaring at Spike.
"Roger!" she said, casually. "Hi!"
"So... an emergency, eh? It looks to me that you were on a date. When you were supposed to be on a date with me." The guy was angry. Spike had turned around to look at him.
"Roger, let me explain you," Dawn said, calmly. "This is my friend Spike. I used to know him in Sunnydale, you know. And I hadn't seen him in ages. And he came all the way to see me, and I just thought it would be rude if I told him to leave because I had a date."
She said all these with a big smile in her lips.
"Really?"
"Yes. Trust me, we'll go out some other time. I wouldn't lie to you, would I?"
"I guess not."
"Well, I'll see you later, then. Good night, Roger."
And they left. After being sure the guy was out of sight, Spike said:
"That was an idiot guy."
Dawn chuckled. "I know."
"So, you wouldn't lie to him, huh?"
Dawn smiled. "So, do you at least have a TV in your house?"
A/N- Ooh, what will happen at Spike's? Probably nothing... yet. Hehe.
Okay, please r/r to tell me what you think. Sorry for grammar and spelling mistakes.
