I don't need you: Home
Higgy grinned to herself as she heard the door slam behind her, alerting her flat mates to her presence.
"Hey." Chez replied to the usual entrance of her friend. She looked up from her book to see the scowl plastered on Higgy's face. She raised her eyebrow in question and received a glare in response. "I'll get the ice-cream shall I?"
Higgy nodded while hanging up her coat, it had been a bad start. She walked into the main area to throw herself into her favourite chair and wiggling around into a more comfortable, upside down, position. She sighed to herself and let her hands drag over the rough surface of the floor as she watched her friends enter.
"Alright," Amy began. "Tell all." She handed Higgy the tub of mint chocolaty goodness and a spoon before relaxing onto the end of the sofa she occupied. Chez threw her book over the other side of the room before looking back at Higgy wearing an inquisitive look.
Higgy frowned, more to herself than anyone, "Are you sure I can't stake him?"
"What?" Was Chez' immediate reaction. Amy just shook her head. "That bad?"
Higgy pouted and brought the spoon to her mouth before nodding sulkily. "That bad." She removed the spoon and chewed the end. "He is going to be a bundle of fun alright. Seems like he's got some friends, which could complicate things slightly." She shook her head again and gathered another spoonful of sympathy.
"Friends?" Amy looked confused. "How can he have friends? He's meant to be a vampire you know all 'grr' and fangy. Are you sure he's not...you know like Angel?" Her eyebrows almost knotted together as she screwed her face up.
"No." Higgy replied, finally sitting up into a position where she was less likely to choke. "No soul. He pounced when I crept up on him, didn't care whether I was innocent or not. Defiantly still unsouled." She sighed and went to replace the half empty carton in the freezer, Amy and Chez on her tail.
"So, what's he like?" Chez asked as she jumped onto the counter like a child. "Do you think you'll be able to handle him?"
"Of course I will Red." Higgy grinned as she used her nickname for the natural redhead despite it being covered in blonde streaks. "There is nothing I can't handle. Besides, we all thought Angel would be the death of me, and look at him. In L.A. with his own business helping the world for redemption." She grinned at the memory. "I'm sure I'll be able to deal."
"So what does he look like?" Amy was desperate to know, because let's face it, you never know. "Should I dress up?" She began playing with her hair as she said it, wondering what different styles she could try.
Higgy chuckled to herself and Chez rolled her eyes. "Well you can meet him tomorrow. We're having this big ass meeting at their place at seven. I guess you guys should come since Red is going to be training with him and he's going to be here a lot."
"Really? I get to train with a master vampire?" Higgy laughed again before nodding to the excited girl. "Cool!" she squealed and ran out of the room dancing.
"Groovy we really get to meet him before you start? Great." She paused before continuing. "Wait...if you just went to see him and came straight home..."
Higgy sighed she hated this part too. "We have to explain the whole thing tomorrow."
Amy let out a small sigh in frustration. "Well then we'd better get some sleep. Night."
"Night Amy. Night Red!" she called. Receiving a small giggle and squeak in reply. She kicked her boots off into the direction of the door and padded to her room. Things were going to get interesting.
She went into her room and shifted the mess scattered on the floor to make a pathway. Yawning, she got changed into her pyjamas and threw her clothes into a corner. She threw herself onto her bed and pulled out her book on Vampire behaviour. Laying on her stomach she began to flick through the pages before coming to rest on the one she had been reading on the plane.
However, before she could pick up from where she left off she had fallen fast asleep and was snoring softly into her pillow.
Higgy grinned to herself as she heard the door slam behind her, alerting her flat mates to her presence.
