Next Day

Ding Dong, the bell to Cordy's house goes off early in the morning, Cordy runs to the door already awake and excited about her sister's arrival, she opens the door... nothing, outside the door no one was standing there and nothing was on the door step, Cordy smiles,

'Hey sis, come out come out where ever you are' she says happily walking around the corner of her house,

'Boo!!' Sarah jumps at Cordy, they both burst out laughing and give each other a hug,

'Sarah, now you know I knew you was there' Cordy laughs,

'Yeh sure you did' Sarah smiles and wraps her arm around Cordy's neck and walks into the house, 'Hey mum!!' she shouts through the house, her mum runs down the stairs,

'Sarah, hi hunny' she says giving her daughter a hug, Sarah hugs back, happy to see her mum,

'So you excited about Monday?' Cordy asks, Sarah smiles,

'Yeh, I just hope he don't get mad at me for not telling him' she says worried but still happy,

'Don't worry sis, he'll love it, this is what he's always wanted', Sarah smiles,

Knock Knock..... Sarah walks to the door and opens it, she smiles at what she sees,

'Hi' she says happily, 'Miss Chase... Sarah Chase?' the man at the door asks,

'Yeh that's me, the one and only' she says chirpy, the man smiles,

'These are for you' he says handing the bundle of purple roses with white lilies and the box dairy milk shortbread he was holding to her, she takes them gently holding them in her arms and smelling the beautiful scent of the roses,

'Thank-you' she says smiling at him, she takes the card from the box of chocolates and reads it, 'To my lovely Sarah, I hope you like the flowers and chocolate, I got them especially for you, I know how much you love them, I have missed you and cant wait another minute to see you so... look up'

She finishes reading the card and looks up and at the door was no longer the delivery man but Gunn standing there with a smile on his face looking at her, she jumps into his arms not damaging the flowers and chocolate, and kisses him deeply on the lips,

'Hey baby, miss me' he says holding her,

'Always' she smiles and kisses him again, he puts her down and walks into the house with her leading him in holding his hand,

'Gunn, hey, what are you doing here...' Cordy stops herself and rephrases her question, 'Wait I know what you're doing here, but how, I thought you had football practice...'

'Well with Spike being the captain of the team and me not shutting up about Sarah...'

'I decided to cancel practice' Spike finishes walking through the door smiling, Gunn turns round as does the rest and they all smile at him,

'Hi Spike' Sarah says giving him a hug,

'Hey Sarah' he smiles and kisses her on the head, she is like a sister to him, he is very protective of her and Gunn and he doesn't let anyone mess with them. 'Hi Cordy' he nods his head at her, she smiles and closes the door behind him and walks into the living room with them following, Sarah sits down on Gunn's lap and Spike sits in his usual place in the arm chair.

Evening

Spike and Angel are playing basketball in the school courts and talking about Buffy and Faith,

'So, first step is done, now time to take it to the next level' Spike said cheekily to Angel,

'Spike...I don't know about this, I mean this could really hurt them when they find out' Angel explains

'Ahh poor Angel losing his confidence, what's the matter worried you'll loose..?' Spike said pushing Angel to carry on with his plan,

'No Spike, I just...don't want to hurt Buffy' he looks down,

'Ohhhh someone has a crush' he teases

'Do not' Angel protests and grabs the Basketball from Spike and shoots, Spike catches the ball and walks around Angel bouncing it,

'Oh come on Angel I see right through you, you have it bad, but how do you think she'll react when she finds out?' he says shooting the ball into the hoop,

'That's why we should stop Spike; I don't want to hurt her'

'Touch mate, you agreed and you know the rules after an agreement is made, it cant be broken, Angel walks closer to Spike,

'Fine, but when I win, its done' Spike smirks at his now arisen confidence,

'Sure, when I win, it's over' he shoots and scores.

Monday Morning

Spike and Angel are talking about their next move, and planning what they will do at the party,

'So next stage will start on Wednesday at the homecoming party you ready for that?' Spike asks Angel

'Absolutely, then after that I can come clean and tell her everything' Angel tells Spike,

'Yeh whatever man' Spike rolls his eyes and walks off.

Gunn and Xander are talking on the field when Buffy and Faith show up, 'Hey guys,' Buffy and Faith say at once,

'Hey Buffy, Faith, how's it going..?' Xander asks,

'Fine thanks Xander' Buffy answers a bit confused about why he asked.

'Guess who?' someone said coming up behind Gunn and covering his eyes,

'Um, Mr Blobby' he laughs and turns round knowing who it is, Sarah smiles and gives him a kiss, 'I knew you were hiding something from me at diner last night' he says wrapping his arms around her and giving her a kiss, she pulls away and tilts her head,

'Well I always knew you liked surprises' she smiles and leans in for another kiss. Cordy comes up behind them and smiles, she walks over to Xander and gives him a kiss,

'So your sister is moving to Sunnydale?' he asks

'Yeh, she gave in her transfer slips today' Cordy replies watching her sister and Gunn, Buffy and Faith says hi to Sarah and Cordy then head to class, on their ways Buffy is stopped by Angel,

'Hey Buffy, can I talk to you?'

'Uh sure, Faith go on ahead I'll catch up'

'Sure B' Faith walks off leaving them alone, Angel takes Buffy into a near by classroom that is empty,

'Whats up Angel?' Buffy asks Angel looks at her,

'Huh' he says then realises what she was saying, 'Oh yeh sorry, um I was thinking we had a good time at the Bronze and everything, so I was wondering, if you would like to go to the Homecoming dance with me on Wednesday?' he looks her in the eyes, Buffy looks surprised since he is a year above her and would of never expected him to ask her or anyone above her to,

'Um sure why not' she smiles

'Great, so I'll pick you up at 8' 'Sure' she smiles again

'Great'

'Great' She walks out the class and to her next lesson, Angel doest move he just watches her go and hangs his head in shame; she slowly walks to his next lesson when the bell goes.

'Faith you will never guess who just asked me to the Homecoming dance' she says running into the class and sitting next to Faith,

'Uh hello Buffy, I just saw Angel taking you into an empty classroom so I figure he was either asking you to the dance or proposing... but I think the first one is more likely' she teases,

'Party pooper, you were supposed to guess' Buffy pouts playfully, Faith sighs, 'Alright' she says dryly

'Oh my god, who you have got to tell me, was it Bobby, no, Scott, wait of course it wasn't him, oh oh I got it, was it Angel?' she starts to laugh at her attempt of sarcasm, Buffy tilts her head and smiles,

'Very funny' she says smiling and settles down to class.

Faith is walking with Spike into the dining hell they had bumped into each other after class and were heading in the same direction,

'So Faith, did you have a good time at the Bronze...with me' Spike smirks and looks at her, she smiles at him,

'Of course, you know, you're not as big a jerk as I thought' she giggles and carries on walking without looking at him, but she knows he is staring at her and she smiles and looks back, 'I'm joking' she laughs, 'You're a great guy' he smiles.

'Thanks, so I was thinking, maybe you would want to go to the...' 'Homecoming Dance' Faith finishes, he smiles and stops walking to face her, 'Yeh' she looks him deep in the eyes

'I'd love to' he smiles and leans in and kisses her on thw lips.
