Enter Des

Disclaimer: all I know is that I sure as hell don't own it. Not now, not then, not ever!

A/N: Apparently I'm trying to compensate for the fact that I'll be gone for a month. Oh also this is new, I'm putting it in some one else's point of view. If i like it it stays if not back to narrator.

~*~Xander's Point of View(POV)~*~

That kid had balls. He was pretty determined to make his life his own. Get some independence. It all happened that night.

"Des come on." Buffy pleaded.

"No." He said plainly.

"Come on Des. I mean not that we don't love you or anything, but it's been about a month and a half! Why don't you go home.?"

"Nope." Apparently living with the blonde had made him immune to her puppy dog eyes.

"Please Des?" Came Dawn.

"No." Same applied for her.

"Why not?" Buffy asked.

"Because I'll end up back here." He said his voice blunt. "See I got defective parents. Their evil, heartless, soul sucking, blood thirsty vampires!" His voice was as-a-matter-of-factly.

"Well they sound like nice people." Oh come on Spike even I wouldn't say that! All he got in reply were a bunch of glairs, and a snort and bitter laugh from the young boy. It was a sad thing to see actually. He was a very happy boy, usually, and when he wasn't it was gone quickly, it almost always took a 'Hey what's wrong?' and if it was really bad some brooding. But now he was speaking from long with held emotions of contempt. Not really his stile. He was usually open about who he hated. Tara walked slowly up to him and took her hands to her mouth.

"Please." She said looking directly into her eyes.

"Fine!" He said exasperated. Tara! You devious cunning dog, you! She had just used Des' crush on her to her advantage. Actually he had a crush on all the ladies...except maybe Anya. He quickly trudged off, slamming his door just for the effect. I had caught him glancing to see if we were paying attention to him right before he did it.

"I'll sneak along behind him." Said Spike softly, planning to spy on how it went, face hinted with actual worry. Dang kid had gown on all of us.

~*~Buffy's POV~*~

He was back. This time with more stuff. Apparently he'd decided he'd be a permanent thing here so he figured to bring all his stuff. He very silently went back to his room.

"So spike how'd it go?" He appeared from one of the shadows.

"Bloke was right. His parents are 'evil, heartless, soul sucking, blood thirsty vampire bastards'!" He said a disgusted look on his face.

"I don't remember the 'bastards' being there."

"Oh, I added that in. They are though."

"So how would you compare." I said, my heart sinking as the words left my mouth.

"Close, not there yet but close." I sighed relief. All the scoobies new about Xander's parents. I was glad Des' weren't that bad.

~A couple of days later~

Me and Dawn were spying on him. We heard a series of Thuds on the ceiling, where Des' room was. He was dancing. Not so much focused on how than on just dancing. He went over to the CD player and flipped through some songs. He came up on one stopped on it. Looked curiously into space for a second and shrugged and started to dance by himself. After ten seconds he stopped walked over to the CD player and shifted through the songs again.

"Why'd you do that." I almost jumped when Dawn asked that to Des. He shrugged.

"No partner."

"We'll dance with you." I volunteered. He shrugged, but deep down inside we knew he was doing flips...or at least attempting to. He quickly flipped it back and hit repeat.

"I'll dance with you both for the whole song. Just follow my lead." He said giving his hand to Dawn. As soon as the music started they both started whirling around laughing. It was a Latin music CD. See Des was from Puerto Rico and his fist language was Spanish. Some odd minutes later the song ended. Both Dawn and Des were sweating though Des had some residue from all the dancing done before that. He quickly pulled me up. Just in time for the music to start. How'd it feel? Fun. The air whooshing the laughter. It was really fun. After a while the music stopped.

"Wow, I'm so tired." Dawn Looked at me and nodded.

"Maybe we should just have Des dance with them for a while instead of stabbing them." She joked.

"SHHH!" Des exclaimed "It's my favorite song! Tell me what you think." He said. As soon as he finished he started to put a little show on.

"So what'd you think?!?" He said looking at us excitedly.

"Well, I have no clue what you said you know the whole different language thing, so that kind of killed the dance. The singing was beautiful. You could do better, but it was still awesome. I really liked the end part! It was kind of freaky hearing you go that high, but other than that it was really good." I said being as sincere as possible.

"What she said." Dawn said a giant smile on her face. He looked like he was about to cry. He then leapt at us hugging us.

"I'm glad some people believe in me." He said with a mixture of joy, excitement meant for us and bitterness and poison for his parents.

"Come on I'll teach you the asereje!" He said pulling us up.

"I said a wha?" Dawn said baffled.

"Asereje." He enunciated this time. After he had taught us the dance he put on the music. We all dance like crazy until the chorus where we melded doing the dance Des ad taught us. After the song ended Des turned it off, throwing himself on the bed. exhausted.

"You know that song reminds me of an English one." I muttered aloud.

"I said a hip hop, a hippy to the hop..." He started obviously not knowing the rest.

"Yeah that one!" I happily exclaimed.

"Didn't you know it's based on it?" He started to explain to us.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A/N: I do not own the asereje or the Hip hop song. The Asereje belongs to Las Ketchup and I don't know who the Hip Hop song belongs to. Oh and yes, I am compensating. Also Review!!!!
