It was a beautiful Saturday morning and everyone in the household was getting up. Buffy and Dawn fell asleep around midnight. Weiss came home from the shop around eleven o'clock. Some time later Buffy, Dawn and Weiss were sitting in the dining room eating breakfast.
"So, what's everyone doing today?" Dawn asked everyone at the table. "We are helping Mr. Giles at the shop today," Omi replied. "You know that you don't have to help out, we can handle all of it," Buffy said. "No we like helping out. It gives us something to do to pass the time," Ken said. "We should be concentrating on Schwartz and nothing else," Cane Aya's voice.
"Come on a little fun won't hurt you," Dawn said, "That's right," Buffy replied. "Tonight I'm taking you all out to The Bronze and we are going to have fun. That includes you to Red," Buffy said and turned her attention to Aya. "I'm not coming," Aya said coldly. "Yes you are, even if I have to drag you there kicking and screaming," Buffy replied stubbornly.
Omi felt that a fight would break out if someone didn't do something soon. "How about we will see what happens," Omi said. "Fair enough," Buffy replied. "Fine," Aya agreed. "Buffy is it okay it the boy you met yesterday comes over," Dawn said. "We need to finish our project," Dawn finished. "Ok. No problem, the boy's name is Nagy right?" Buffy asked. "Right," Dawn said.
"Nagi," Ken said astonished. "Yeah," Buffy replied. "This is just great,"Youji muttered under his breath. "What,"Dawn and Buffy asked. "Nagi Noe is a member of Schwartz," Aya answered. "No way," Dawn said. "He can't be a member of Schwartz," Dawn cried out. "He probably knows then that Dawn is my sister," Buffy said. "But he is such a nice person," Dawn protested.. "He's not," Ken replied.
"Dawn, stay away from him," Buffy warned her younger sister. "I will," Dawn promised. but he seemed so nice, Dawn thought. "But he's just a kid. He doesn't look that strong," Buffy asked confused. "He's the telekinetic one," Omi said. " At least we know who one of theme are now," Buffy said with a sigh. "Wait, do you guys have to kill him too," Dawn said horrified. "Yes," Youji replied. "He's just a kid," Buffy said. "Doesn't matter," Aya said. "Yes it does," Buffy replied jumping out of her seat.
"Are you people seriously going to kill a boy maybe no more the sixteen years old," Buffy said. "The boy is a killer," Ken replied. "So," Buffy exclaimed. "At least put him in a prison," Buffy finished. "Guys calm down," Omi said over the racket. "Fine we won't kill him until Kritiker tells us to," Aya replied. "Good," Buffy said and soat down in her seat, content with the decision at the moment. "What's Kritiker," Dawn asked. "Nothing, hey look at the time. We have to really get going,"Omi said as Weiss got up quickly and exited. "Weird," Dawn said. There is something their not telling us, Thought Buffy.
The day passed quickly as Weiss and Buffy sat exhausted on the couch. "Are you all ready to go to The Bronze," Buffy said happily. "I'm all for going clubbing," Youji said. "I don't think I'm old enough to go," Omi said. "You are," Buffy assured him. "Alright I'll go," Ken said from his place on the couch.
Everyone looked expectantly at Aya but he didn't say a word. "Are you coming?" Buffy asked him. "No," Aya said in a monotone voice. Xander and Willow came into the room asking if they were ready yet. "Almost, just have to convince Red here that he is not staying at home to brood," Buffy said. "You know he reminds me a lot of Angel with the whole brooding persona," Willow said. "I'm not going," Aya said again in his most dangerous voice.
Twenty minutes later they were all entering The Bronze including Aya. Buffy said that if Ay didn't come she would beat him to a bloody pulp. Of course she wouldn't really do that but hey, he doesn't need to know that.
Youji immediately went out on the dance floor because he saw a hot blonde. The rest of the gang found a table and ordered their drinks. "This place is packed," Ken commented on the people who were hanging out at the club. "It usually is. This is the only hang-out spot in Sunnydale that is considered cool," Xander replied. Suddenly Anya and Tara came up to their table and took Willow and Xander out on the dance floor.
Omi, Aya, Ken and Buffy were the only ones sitting at the table. A girl with shoulder lengh blond hair with red streaks came up to the table. She tapped Omi on the shoulder and asked him to dance. He looked back at his friends and found Buffy and Ken smiling at him, a smile that said to take the girl up on her offer.
Now only the three of them were left at the table. Ken shyly asked Buffy to dance and she agreed after she asked Aya it was okay that they were leaving him alone. "Go dance," Aya replied. Aya was now the only one left at the table as he watched his friends out on the dance floor.
The table they were sitting at was close to the door so you could hear if something was going on outside. Why did I agree to come here? Aya thought. Aya was so lost in this thoughts that it took him a couple of minutes to realize that there was a banging sound and a few screams coming from outside the club.
Ay quickly got up from his seat and ran outside to find a vampire feeding on a girl. Thankfully, Aya brought his sword with him to The Bronze. The vampire let go of his victim and turned to face Aya. What Aya saw was unbelievable. The person had blazing yellow eyes and a lumpy forehead. It's teeth were sharp and it growled like an animal.
Aya prepared his attack and lunged forward. It snarled in pain and attacked Aya. Aya had no time and fell to the floor because of the force of the attack. Quickly regaining his balance and prepared to attack again. The vampire was to fast for him as it lunged for his throat. The vampire was choking him and Aya was quickly losing conscience.
Back at The Bronze, Buffy and Ken were enjoying their time dancing. Bully looked back at the table and saw that Aya wasn't there anymore. "Where's Aya?" Buffy asked as she and Ken stepped of the dance floor. "I don't know. He probably left or he is outside," Ken replied. "How about we check," Buffy suggested.
They went outside and saw a vampire about to bite and kill Aya. Buffy immediately went into action. "Hey, vamp face. Over here," Buffy shouted. The vampire turned around and went for Buffy. She punched him in the face once and he fell on his back. With lightning fast reflexes she pulled out a stake and aimed for the heart. The rest of the gang came out a couple of minutes before to watch the show. Weiss stared in shock as the vampire turned to dust.
"D-did that guy just turn into dust?" Omi asked shakily. "He was a vampire and I dusted him," Buffy explained as she helped Aya to his feat. "You took that guy out like there was nothing to it," Youji exclaimed. "He was an easy kill," Buffy replied. "He was really strong. My sword did nothing to him," Aya replied.
"That's because vampires are stronger then humans," Buffy said. She turned her head to Weiss and said, "If you see a vampire, run. Do not try to fight them. They will kill you before you know it." "Can't we kill them with weapons?" Omi asked. "No, only a stake through the heart," Buffy said.
"But your friends can fight vampires, why can't we. We're trained assassins for crying out loud," Youji said. "My friends have experience in fighting vampires and even then they can't face them alone. The fact that you are assassins means nothing. They can kill you just like anyone else," Buffy said. Buffy's friends realized that a fight was going to break out so they decided to go back into The Bronze. "I think we could take them on," Youji said. "No," Buffy replied. Look, I don't want to fight. I have to go on patrol so let's just call it truce," Buffy finished.
"Ok," Youji replied. "Fine, I'll see you all later then," Buffy said and walked away from them to go to the nearest cemetery.
