Chapter 8:
"This is so cool," Dawn squealed as the car pulled into the parking lot of the Universal Amphitheater.
"I know!" one of the potentials yelled as the girls ran out of the car. Amy and Buffy stayed behind and waited for everyone to get out.
"We'll meet up with you in a sec okay?" Buffy yelled as she closed the car door. Everyone just nodded to excited to be paying attention to Buffy. "Make sure your cell phone's on!"
"Thanks Buffy," Amy sighed, "I didn't know if you would think that maybe it isn't exactly 'safe' for me to go out there, you know considering like all my fans are out there."
"No problem, I figured you couldn't just walk in public. So did you call Ben or whatever his name is to tell him we're here?"
"Nope not yet, I figure I'll just show up, they're probably too busy setting up anyway."
"Maybe, so were do you want me to take you?" Buffy asked as they pulled out of the parking lot.
"Ben said there is like a back way, see over there?" Amy asked as she pointed to a small alley, "go there and we should end up behind the Amphitheater."
As they pulled up behind the theater Amy sighed.
"What's wrong?" Buffy asked.
"Nothing, well it's just that well this is probably going to be my last concert for a long time with this whole I'm probably a Slayer thing and well I'm really going to miss it."
"You know if you really are a Slayer after we defeat the 1st you can always go back on tour and you won't be in harms way as long as you're trained."
"Yea, I guess but it's not really the same as it was before you know. As long as the other members of the band don't run away I guess I'm cool with it."
"Well I don't think they will run away. Haven't you and Ben been together since you were like 14?"
"Yea you're right, we're best friends and nothing could ever split us up. At least not on my part anyway."
"See, now get outa the car and go play your show."
"Aren't you coming?" Amy asked as she stepped out.
"Wouldn't I be imposing?"
"No!! Not at all come on Buffy it'll be fun, and you can meet Ben."
"I already remember when I was screaming at you to hurry up and leave, remember that?"
"Oh yea," Amy laughed. "Come on anyway, you get to go backstage!! The dream of about every fan in that crowd."
"Your right!! Why should I pass up a chance like that?" Buffy said as she jumped out of the car. Buffy linked arms with Amy and they walked into the theater.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh," Amy screamed as she saw Ben. She ran to him and he caught her up in a hug. "Oh God Ben I've missed you so much," Amy whispered into his jacket as tears slowly began to form in her eyes.
"Don't start crying now, let's get this show on the road!" Ben said as she broke the hug. Amy sniffled and nodded her head.
"Oh wait," she whined, "does this mean I have to go get my hair and makeup done?"
" 'Fraid so," Ben nodded as he laughed. "You going to introduce me to your friend?"
Amy turned back to see Buffy standing behind her. "Oh my God Buffy I'm so sorry I almost forgot about you. Ben this is Buffy, Buffy this is Ben."
"Hi," Buffy greeted him as she shook his hand. Ben slowly checked Buffy over before he shook her hand. When he did he noticed that she had a pretty tight grip.
"Geez you're strong!" Ben exclaimed.
Buffy was surprised to hear this. Didn't he know she was a Slayer? Or maybe he didn't. Buffy slowly turned to face Amy.
"Amy? Didn't you tell Ben you know about us?"
Amy meekly shook her head. "What do you mean you haven't?" Buffy yelled. "What have you been telling him this whole time?"
"Actually I kind of told him that I was staying at your house for personal reasons. So well actually I haven't really told him anything. Am I allowed to tell him? 'Cause you know I thought this whole business is supposed to stay secret."
"I guess you're right but I thought maybe he knew considering that you guys are so close. How about we both tell him tonight with a little demonstration? You've had enough training to dust a vampire and since we're in LA I have the perfect person to tell us where all the little hotspots are."
"What's so special about LA?"
"I'll explain later," Buffy sighed. "Now hurry up you have to go get ready."
"Okay, I'm going, I'm going," Amy said as she gave Buffy a quick hug goodbye. "Wish me luck."
"Good luck," Buffy quietly whispered.

Buffy watched with amusement as she saw all the people in the crowd screaming and jumping up and down while singing along with Amy. She had to admit she liked the girl despite the first few days and she did have a good voice.
"You think she's good?" Buffy asked Spike.
"Not bad love," Spike answered, "You think she's good?"
"Well yea, I thought she was good ever since that day I heard her at the Bronze. I wonder why such a big band like them came and played in our little town."
"Maybe Amy was pulled towards there because she's a Slayer."
"Maybe," Buffy said as she turned back to face the stage. (They can hear each other talking because Spike is a vampire and Buffy's a Slayer and you know they have good hearing).
~TBC Hey everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry I haven't updated in like oh I don't know 10 years!! But I've been really busy with school. I know this chapter is short and stuff but it's all I have time to do. Thank you Thanksgiving weekend lol. Well I was supposed to go to an Evanescence concert here in San Diego but of course it got cancelled because of Ben. Did you notice how at the beginning I was kinda dissing him for leaving? Well hope you enjoyed. You might get another chapter sooner than you think.
