Gangsters Paradise
Buffy was silent in the car ride home from school; she was busy thinking. She didn't actually know the names of Dawn's friends that she hung out with all night. Well, she knew Faith, Raven and Thistle but from what she'd heard there was a lot of others.
"Spike, what are Dawn's friends like?" Buffy asked, breaking the silence.
"Just like Faith and Raven, why you ask?" Buffy nodded.
"I want to meet them." She stated. Spike looked shocked. Buffy was the total opposite of these kids and she wanted to meet them!
"When?" Hopefully he could keep them away from each other for as long as possible.
"Well, Dawn's ill tonight," Buffy grinned wickedly at him. "You could turn up with a friend."

"Hey," Spike greeted the group and he and Buffy appeared at the edge of the alley. The kids had decided that the Fish Tank was far to open for them and they need somewhere where only they knew of. This certain alley down by the peer seemed to fit the criteria perfect.
"Hey" the other kids greeted him.
"Who's she?" one of the guys asked.
"This is Cat, she just moved here." Buffy gave a tiny smile and sat down next to Spike on one of the moth-eaten sofas.
"Cat, I'm Raven." Raven introduced herself; of course, Buffy already knew her. "This is Thistle," she pointed to a tiny blonde girl who must have been about Dawn's age; she wore very tight jeans and a tiny bikini top. "Storm," a tall skinny boy with shaggy electric blue hair and trousers to mach, who was about her age. "Smoke," a huge football player size boy wearing baggy jeans and a vest top. "Ice," a tall, lanky girl with white hair styled to look life a lion mane. "Faith," Buffy already knew Faith, and disliked her. "And Bullet," a tiny boy, he must have only been about seven or eight.
Buffy looked from one kid to another. They were all so young yet hated life. Like a little army of Dawn's; why would kids want to do this?
"So, Cat, where you from?" Ice asked.
Buffy shrugged trying to act like the other kids. "L.A."
"What we gonna do tonight?" Smoke asked. Everyone sat and thought about what they would like to do.
"Let's shoot holes in the peer," Bullet suggested.
"We did that the other night," Thistle moaned. "What about breaking some windows down Main Street?"
"Too early, we'd get caught." Spike joined in the conversation. "Why don't we just stay here and play cards?"
Raven nodded. "Just 'til most people have gone home, then we'll hit Main Street." Buffy gathered that Raven was the leader of the gang.
"I got something better," Faith said. The others all looked at her. "The gang from Willie's want the Docks as part of there turf. We already let them have the industrial area, I say we fight for our Docks." She winked at Raven, yet nobody seemed to notice.
Everyone else nodded in agreement.
"We can't just go and attack them," Ice said. "We need plans and ideas."
"We do," Raven nodded in agreement. "Who's in?"
All but Buffy and Spike raised there hands.
"Dawn'll be in," Storm said as he raised his second hand. "What about you two?"
Buffy looked from one gang member to another. "We're in," she nodded, not wanting to look suspicious.
"I have to go home, check on Dawn," Spike said pulling Buffy up. "See you lot tomorrow."
"Bye Spike, bye Cat." Thistle called as they left the alley.
"Buffy, do you what you just did?" Spike yelled once they got back to the car.
"Meet Dawn's friends?" Buffy was puzzled.
"You got us involved in a gang war; do you know how dangerous those things are?"
Buffy giggled about scared he was. "It's just a little fight, Spike. It's not like were gonna get down to shot ups."
Spike raised an eyebrow, shot ups were just what the other gang members had in mind. "No, course not." Hopefully he could get her out of this thing before anything happened.
