It was the night of the opera and Buffy walked down the stairs. She was in
a short, strapless black dress that ended just above her knees and had her
hair in curls. She met up with Spike in the entrance; he was wearing black
pants and a black button up shirt. She stood on the last step as her dad
finished talking to Spike and gave Buffy a kiss on the cheek.
"Have fun sweetie." He said and disappeared.
"All set?" He asked, looking up at her.
He stared for a minute, she looked beautiful. He shook his head and closed the door behind him as he followed her out. They both slid into the car and Spike drove out of the driveway. Her brother was away for the weekend with his friends, so they had his car to take.
There was little talk on the drive to the opera, Spike kept his eyes on the road while Buffy stared blankly out the window. They pulled up to a big brick building with a parking lot full of cars. People were walking into the building holding hands and looking nice. Buffy looked at Spike as they walked up. He looked nice, not too bad. It wasn't much of a change from his usual style but Buffy had a feeling it was as formal as he would get.
It took them a while to find they're seats and when they did, they sat down. Not even one minute passed before Spike stood up. He looked to Buffy and was about to leave when she grabbed his arm.
"And where do you think you're going mister?"
"You honestly think I can sit through a bloody second of this?" He asked.
"At least give it a chance, you haven't even heard one person yet."
"Yeah, and I plan on keeping it that way. You can come if you like luv."
Buffy sat there, thinking for a minute. When she didn't answer, Spike took it as a no and made his way out of the row of chairs.
"Wait!" Buffy yelled. She jumped up and followed Spike out to the car.
She sunk into the passenger's side and looked to him.
"Where we going?" She asked.
"Bronze."
"Cool."
~*~
The Bronze was full of teens moving their bodies to the music as Buffy and Spike walked in. Buffy noticed her friends over at a table, got Spike's attention and headed over. She sat down next to Willow and Xander.
"Hey guys."
"Buff, aren't you at the opera?" Xander asked.
"Changed my mind."
Skye looked over Spike as he stood awkwardly by their table. She motioned for him to sit next to her so she did so.
"You look nice." She told him.
"Yeah, you too pet." He said.
"Oz, dance with me!" Willow said as a new song came on.
He didn't have much time to answer before Willow grabbed his wrist and drug him to a free space. Buffy watched as they went off and danced.
"Want to dance?" Xander asked, turning to Buffy.
"Sure Xan." Buffy said.
She walked with Xander and they stood next to Willow and Oz. Xander wrapped his arms around her waist and Buffy pulled herself into Xander.
~ Get a load of me,
Get a load of you,
Walking down the street
And I hardly know you
It's just like we were meant to be
Holding hands with you,
When we're out at night,
Got a girlfriend
You say it isn't right
And I've got someone waiting too
Love, this is just our beginning
We're already wet and we're gonna go swimming
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you?
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you?
Its inevitable... its right dab we're going to get down to it
So tell me...
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you?
Isn't this the first part of breaking up?
Finding someone else you can't get enough of
Someone who wants to be with you too
Its an itch we know we are gonna scratch
Gonna take a while for this set to hatch
But wouldn't it be beautiful?
Here we go we are at the beginning
We haven't thought yet but my head's spinning
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you?
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you?
Its inevitable... its right dab we're going to get down to it
So tell me...
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you?
I have love for to make me wonder
Where it's going
High enough for you to pull me under
Something's growing
Out of this we can control
Baby I am dying
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you?
Why can't I speak whenever talk about you
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you?
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you?
Its inevitable... its right dab we're going to get down to it
So tell me...
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you? ~
Buffy unwrapped herself from Xander's arms and headed back to the table that had added on. Along with Spike and Skye, sat two newer additions, Anya and Riley. Anya was Xander's girlfriend. She was thin and had natural brown hair, but she recently got it dyed blonde. Riley was just another friend. Him and Buffy had come close to going out once before, but it didn't happen. He was nicely built; you could tell he worked out often. His short cut brown hair gave off kind of an army look, but it fit him.
"You girls want a drink?" Xander asked.
"No thanks." Buffy said.
Willow shook her head. "I'm fine thanks."
"Sure Xander, I'll come with you." Anya said and stood up.
"Anyone else?" Xander asked.
Everyone declined the offer so the two left. Buffy turned to Willow and the two begun to talk.
~*~
A couple hours later, Buffy was sitting with Willow on one of the sofas listening to Oz's band play. Xander, Anya and Riley had left earlier and Spike and Skye had wandered off, leaving Buffy and Willow to talk. Buffy looked to her watch and looked shocked at what time it was.
"Shit! Willow it's almost twelve! Did you know that? My dad is going to flip, my curfew was eleven!"
"I'll walk with you." Willow offered. "I'll go tell Oz."
"No, that's okay. I have to drive with Spike anyways, but thanks. Plus, you and Oz have plans right? Friday night, wouldn't want to keep you from those. I'll call you tomorrow." Buffy said and stood up. "Where to start?"
She walked around, looking for Spike. 'How can it be that hard? I doubt there's another bleached blonde British guy dressed in black around here.' Buffy thought.
"Buffy!"
Buffy turned around and saw Skye walking towards her. She was alone, but maybe she knew where Spike was.
"Skye, do you know where Spike is?"
"Yeah, he's looking for you. He's out in the car. That was my message. Do you know where Will is?"
"Over by the sofas. Thanks, bye."
"Bye Buffy." Skye said and left to talk to Willow.
~*Hey, its not very long but its what I'm putting up for right now. Um, this isn't the chapter that I had planned, but its better then the one I did so I'm glad I lost it : P So, review! *~
