Buffy and Willow managed to squeeze past the crowd of students on the front steps of the school and head for the tree where they were meeting Xander. The sun was shining brightly making it seem like the day was warm but in reality it was cold due to the cool wind.
"So are you nervous?" Willow asked, as they stopped near the tree.
"Nervous about what?" Buffy asked, pretending she didn't know what Willow was talking about.
"Your date. You know your rendezvous with a certain cute watcher," Willow reminded her.
"Oh that. Well maybe a little nervous, but not a break down type of nervous," Buffy replied.
"Ok, good so do you have planned whatcha going to wear?"
Buffy looked thoughtful for a moment. "No, but I think I can find something. At least I hope I can," she said biting her lip.
"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll find something. I could help if you want?" Willow offered.
"Help with what?" Xander appeared from behind the tree.
"Clothes for uh, Buffy's date," Willow informed him.
Xander frowned. "Oh that. The date's still on? I thought you'd wake up this morning and realize what a mistake it was to have said yes." He shook his head in distaste.
"A date? Who has a date, certainly not you Xander." Cordelia walked towards them.
"No it's not Xander, not that he can't get a date. 'Cause he can, he just choose not to date right now." Buffy defended her friend. "I'm the one who has a date."
Cordelia laughed. "Who's crazy enough to date you? Oh that's it. A lunatic without a sense of style just like you would be the perfect guy for you wouldn't it?"
"So that's what you think of Spike. I don't think he's a lunatic. He's still kinda stuck on the whole wanna be Billy Idol thing, but I'm still going on a date with him. I don't date people according to what they wear. There's this weird reason why people go on dates to get to know the person, ever heard of that?" Buffy said.
Cordelia gasped. "You on a date with Spike?"
Buffy nodded smiling with satisfaction at the look on Cordelia's face.
"Now I know for sure that Spike has gotten contaminated with the loser virus that some of Sunnydale's residents posses." She glared at them.
"Cordy!" she heard Harmony shout from the crowd that was near the parking lot.
"Well, gotta go before I catch that virus too," Cordelia walked away in her expensive high heels.
"So how about that new movie? I hear its horrifying." Xander said with a mock expression of fear on his face. "Well, I heard something that you can disappear during the movie, at least some people have."
"Disappear? Really disappear as in gone from the theater and the world?" Willow asked.
"Are you serious Xander?" Buffy questioned.
"I don't think it's serious, it's just you know the usual stunts they pull off to promote new movies. People can't disappear," He replied, receiving twin looks from both of his friends. He shrugged, "So maybe people really can disappear but come on it's just a movie? Right?"
Willow and Buffy looked at each other uncertain.
Later that night, Buffy was standing in front of the mirror, giving her hair a quick look over. She was wearing a blue halter top and some new tight fitting jeans. Her face had some light make up and she was wearing little earrings shaped like a rose. She glanced at the clock and quickly grabbed her purse, making her way towards the door.
"I'm going out Mom," Buffy called out as opened the front door of the house..
"That's nice, honey. Don't come home late," her mom yelled from upstairs.
"I won't," Buffy said as she left her house.
She hadn't told her mom of her date with Spike, for some unknown reason. As she began to walk out of the house, she felt a stab of guilt. She had talked to Spike earlier in the day, during one of her passing periods and he had told her that he would be waiting for her in the corner of her street.
True to his word, Spike was stationed at the end of the street with his usual black attire except the only difference was that he had a red silk shirt instead of a black t-shirt.
"Hey," She smiled at him as she approached him.
" 'ello luv. Lookin' beautiful tonight," Spike grinned.
Buffy felt herself blush at his comment. "T-thanks," she said.
"Hop on. Want some help?" Spike asked as she stood beside his bike.
"No thanks, I can do this," She slid right behind him.
He revved up the engine and sped away. Buffy clung to him so that she wouldn't fall off. Twenty minutes later they arrived at the crowded Sunnydale Cinema, which was the only theater in the entire town. Unfortunately due to the fact that it was the only it was crowded most of the time.
"So what movie do you want to see, Slayer?" Spike asked, as they walked towards the ticket line.
"Shh, don't call me that. We are on a date right? Why don't you call me Buffy? Or is this some kind of joke?" Buffy asked.
"This isn't a joke. Fine I'll call you Buffy," Spike said.
Buffy instantly loved the way she said his name, with that sexy accent of his. She glanced over at the posters of the various movies playing, trying to decide what was good to see. Spike followed her gaze and looked at them..
"How 'bout the horror film. I hear it's pretty good, especially when people start disappearin' " Spike suggested.
Buffy stared at him. "You heard that too. Xander told me about it, but do you really think people disappear while watching the movie?"
"Doubt it. It's just some cheap trick. People get excited over a bunch of lame magic tricks, can't be more than that. Don't think something supernatural is goin' on in 'ere." He added the last part in a whisper.
The line moved fairly quickly and once Spike purchased their tickets they made their way in to the theatre.
"Do you want some popcorn, Buffy?" Spike nodded towards the snack counter.
*Yay,he used my name!* Buffy thought happily and answered. "Sure."
Buffy stood in line next to Spike, staring in the direction of the menus. Suddenly she began to have second thoughts about buying food. *What if he kisses me and my mouth is all buttery or I have candy breath or I burp because I drank too much coke?
Shaking away the thoughts she turned to Spike, "I changed my mind I don't want anything."
She grabbed him by the arm and pulled him out of the line before he could say anything.
"Unpredictable, I like that in a girl. Next time a little easy on the jacket, love." He said inspecting his jacket as if to make sure it was ok.
"Sorry. How about we go get seats, people are already starting to go in." She nodded towards theatre number 6. "All the good seats are going to get taken away. I hate the first row, its so loud and I hate looking up. It's really uncomfortable."
"Well you are a bit on the short side aren't ya?" Spike chuckled.
Buffy glared at him. "I'm not short. I'm petite."
"Whatever you say, love."
"It's not my fault I'm short." Buffy frowned. "Stupid genes," he heard her mutter as they made their way into the theatre.
Luckily the room still wasn't full with people, so they were able to find seats in the back row. Spike grinned as they sat in their seats, lad that they had found seats in the back row. The room soon was crowded by the time the film started. Spike found the movie incredibly dull, not even remotely scary. He was pretty sure the Slayer felt the same because of the way she stared at the screen, practically almost falling asleep. There was still a good thirty minutes left of the movie and he had to do something interesting or else he was going to storm out of the place or yell.
He glanced over at Buffy who seemed to be staring at the screen intently, obviously she was liking this part of the movie. He snaked his arm around her shoulders, slowly and carefully that she didn't even notice until his skin made contact with hers.
She jumped up at the feel on his arm on her bare shoulders, but relaxed liking the feel of his arms around her. She smiled lightly, which Spike noticed. A minute later he leaned towards her and whispered, "Scared?"
"No. Please this movie isn't even scary." Buffy said. After her last words she jumped when there was a loud shriek from one of the actresses on the screen.
"Not scared huh?" Spike grinned.
Before she could respond, he leaned over so that his mouth was over hers and began to kiss her. The kiss began slow but once their tongues reacquainted themselves with each others mouths the passion blossomed. No longer a small kiss, Buffy placed her hand around his neck bringing him even closer to her. Buffy moaned into his mouth but pulled away to breathe. Regaining their breath, they resumed their make out session completely oblivious to the people around them.
Panting Buffy pulled away from minutes later and began to fix her hair and straighten her top. "Where's everyone?" Buffy asked, looking around.
There were only two teens leaving the room while the rest of the seats were empty.
"Don' t know. Movie's over. Guess everyone cleared out, but we were too busy to notice." Spike smirked.
Buffy ignored his comment and glanced around. "How could we not notice? We should have even if we were busy. This is giving me the wiggins."
Buffy stood and walked out of her row of seats and bent down and picked up a scarf. Then realized that all the rows contained various objects the belonged to the people that had probably just recently watched the film.
"Something's wrong here. All of the people who watched the movie couldn't have forgotten their things." Buffy said holding up the scarf and pointing to the belongings left behind.
"So, what do you suppose did this?" Spike asked.
Buffy shrugged. " I don't know but it's whatever has been making people disappear. I have feeling that this isn't some kind of movie trick."
The screen went blank at that moment, and suddenly they were shrouded in darkness. "Bloody hell," she heard Spike mutter as she let her eyes adjust to the darkness. She could make out the shadows of what where the seats but besides that she couldn't see much.
"Spike," she called out.
"I'm 'ere don't worry." He replied.
Buffy was startled when she felt his hands on her arm, but was glad that he was near her. He interlocked his fingers with hers and pulled her away. "We have to get out of 'ere." Spike stated.
"We have to see what's going on 'ere," she said stopping abruptly.
"We'll investigate when we get out of this place."
"No, we have to .."
She was cut off by a high pitched scream.
"I think the sound was coming that way." Buffy pointed in front of her.
She began to walk until she stopped, she raised her hands and felt something that felt like a screen. Spike stood right beside her.
"It's the screen." Buffy announced.
Then another scream pierced the air. "We have to find them."
Buffy heard Spike's foot steps walk away and then she heard him say. "Found a door way. Walk to your left."
She walked to the left as he had instructed and found him with the door already opened. She ran in quickly and found a dimly lit room with many bodies strewn all over the floor. On the far end of the room there was a woman with blood running down her cheek, sitting on a stool, very pale faced like she had just seen a ghost.
"What's going on?" Buffy questioned staring at the woman.
The woman didn't answer, but started to sob. Spike appeared a minute later and pointed at the ceiling. " Look over there."
A large cloaked figure hovered above them, humming some little tune. The figure's face was hidden and they could not see his legs nor arms.
"Who the hell are you?" Buffy demanded.
"Intruders.. You shall pay, just like this woman and the rest will."
"You mean they aren't dead yet?" Buffy asked.
Spike bent down and checked a near by man's pulse. "Alive. Guess they're just knocked out."
"You still haven't my answer Cloak Boy. And I need it now or do I have to beat out of you?" Buffy asked.
He floated down to the ground, extended his arms, and pulled away his head from his head revealing a demonic head. He snarled and snapped his fingers, a group of cloaked demons appeared baring swords.
"Great a demon fest. Can't you guys plan to do something evil at another time. I'm on a date here," Buffy said as one of them charged towards her.
She dealt a powerful kick to the demon's chest, sent him crashing to the floor, then turned ducking a sword of another demon. Bending down she managed to extend her legs, tripping the said demon. It crashed on the floor, mumbling something in its language, Buffy stepped over him and stepped on its hand, causing it to release its sword. She reached for the sword and used it to plunge in the demon's back, killing it almost instantly. The demon that had attacked for her came forward and raked her arm with long fingernails.
Buffy then proceeded to punch his face and avoiding blows. She brought her sword down and decapitated it. Spike slit a demon's gut with its own sword, finishing the last of the demons.
"Hey, what happened with the leader of this circus? "Buffy asked.
"Fled the coop, that's what. Don't worry, we'll get that git soon enough. He couldn't have gone far."
"I guess so. I better go after it. I guess this officially ends the date huh?" Buffy asked.
"No it doesn't." Spike walked over and stepped in front of her. "This does," Spike crushed his mouth to hers in a passionate kiss.
Seconds later they stepped back from each other.
"That was much better than the original good bye," Buffy grinned.
Spike nodded. "Don't worry 'bout that demon pet. I'll help you with it."
"Ok, then let's go." Buffy said, heading in the direction the demon had gone.
Some of the people that had been on the ground, where starting to wake up. Spike glanced at them briefly then followed Buffy.
