Chapter 12:
Angel was chained up and everyone has decided that it was time to relax a bit. So they all went to bed. They decided, that they would be making a movie night the next evening as it was a Saturday, watching films that would introduce the Tortallians to the normal life in their world.
The next day, Xander, Dawn and Tara went to buy snacks and food while the rest was starting another round of research.
They also made a plan for the slaying and the kitchen duties, as nobody liked cooking for so much people. This afternoon, Daine, Gary and Tara were on kitchen duty. They were preparing a meal for all of them, and some salad for later on between the movies.
Then a community worker came to check on Buffy and Dawn. She was shocked to see the house full of people. Buffy was really happy that the Tortallians were wearing normal cloths and had fake ID's as she saw the community worker.
The first question of the community worker was about the bunch of people in the house. Thankfully it was a Saturday and holidays would start soon. So Buffy could explain the people as friends of them, who were visiting and the plan of a movie night with some other friends as well. They declared Daine as a friend of Dawn while the adults were introduced as friends of all of them. Kitten was hiding.
Buffy was a bit afraid about the reaction of the community worker, who wanted to be introduced to all of the friends. But she did it.
She asked them all into the living room and started explanations pointing at the people she meant. "Willow, she went to school with me, we are best friends and my mom liked her. She is currently enrolled at the college. Tara, good friend and Willows girlfriend, also a college student. Xander good friend since high school he is a construction worker, a carpenter. Anya is Xanders girlfriend, she works and the Magic Box. William also a long time friend he is currently working as a writer, he is doing poetry. Rupert Giles he is a mentor and was a good friend of my mother he owns "The Magic Box" and is there for me if I need advice. The others are visiting. They are visiting every few years for a while now. "Buffy was sweating, how should she explain the jobs of the Tortallians. She tried to cover it up. Jon here is married to Thayet, he is working as a manager, she is normally staying at home with the kids but is giving riding lessons to earn some money. Their kids are with the grandparents as they are every year in the holidays. George is a specialist on jewels and works in a jewellery he is married to Alanna who teaches martial arts. Raoul is working for a security firm. Gary is secretary to a local politician. Numair is a professor for old languages and medieval society and history and well versed in the knowledge and roots of legends. Daine is his bethroed and is a caretaker at a horse farm. She is also studying zoology."
The community worker looked a bit sceptical and asked Daine some questions about bird anatomy and horses. Daine could answer all of them. Then she asked Numair two things about life in the medieval society. Numair knew that there were no magic here like in his country and explained things that way.
Now the community worker believed them and asked about the movies they wanted to see. Willow showed her some PG 13 movies and answered another question about the food they planned to eat while watching the movies with showing her in the kitchen were the salads were nearly done.
They were all relieved when after a short chat with Dawn the comm. worker left the house being satisfied that Dawn was in good care.
Buffy was happy they were not just able to spin a story off about the Tortallians they were even getting brownie points for inviting the right people and not cutting Dawn out and meeting old friends even without their mother.
Now there was just one thing to do, before they could eat dinner and then start the movies. They had to instruct the Tortallians about their fake work.
It was easy to instruct Thayet, Alanna and Daine, while it took more time to explain the manager to Jon. Gary accepted his given job without problems, well he was a minister in his world. Raoul was briefed on modern weapons and security work, he was a commander after all and Numair got a book about languages, and the medieval society and legends of this world.
After dinner, Buffy Dawn and Alanna had kitchen duty and were cleaning up.
Spike, Numair, George and Willow were going to patrol and Anya was briefing Jon about his fake job, while Xander did the same with Raoul and Tara and Daine were looking into anatomy books and history of the werewolves. Oz would be fetched by the others, after patrol. Buffy was relieved, that she haven't had to explain the musician of the group before.
Patrol was going easy. George dusted 3 Vamps using his stakes like his daggers, before anyone except Spike and him even realized that Vamps were approaching. Numair dusted the remaining two Vamps with fireballs while Willow was just instructing him.
They found two demons of a common kind, who didn't last a minute before they were roasted by Numair and Willow and two more Vamps Spike declared his job. Then they fetched Oz and wandered back to the Summers house.
They watched movies until late and then all of them slept in the living room, except spike who didn't wanted to be toast in the morning and went in the basement after everyone else was asleep.
Kitten had liked the movies and chirped happy, she loved the food chips and ice-cream were so delicious she was really filled as she curled herself around Dawn to sleep. Dawn woke up briefly but liked the feeling of the baby dragon in her arm.
