A/N: Okay, let's see if I can get somewhere. The chapters may be shorter from now on, because I'm so busy, but I'm trying. Peace and Love.

Chapter 4: Party

"A party!? But what about classes?" Willow asked, leaning on the bathroom door.

"Relax; I've told you, I'm only going there for 45 minutes. An hour tops." Buffy replied, while giving her hair slight curls with the iron.

"What if someone caught you? They'd probably call your dad and everything!"

"Look, Willow, I've already gone through this in my head. Just want to have a little fun before all of my freedom is gone for a few months. Hey, why don't you just come with me, eh?" Buffy sprayed her curls and turned to face the little red-head.

Willows eyes widened, "No siree-bob! You know the rules. You can't cross the lake. Anyways," she looked down, "I have nothing to wear, and wouldn't no how to act or anything."

"Well, I think we can fix the clothes issue, and as for how to act, just be you. Everyone will love you. Trust me." Buffy reassured.

"You think?"

"I know. You're going to be the hit of the party, Wills."

Willow looked up, "Wills?"

The other girl looked up, "Sure. It's the perfect nickname. Now come on, lets get you all spruced up."

ONE HOUR LATER

"Well, what do you think?"

"Buffy!" Willow looked in the mirror in shock, "I can't wear this. It's just so, so you. I wouldn't be able to pull this off."

"Hey, Wills, don't sweat it. I know it's a little over the top, but for just one night, it's fun to be someone else. If you're crazy awkward when we get there, we'll turn right back, okay?" Buffy put the finishing touches on her outfit.

"I don't know…"

"Well I do. Come on."

&&&&&&&&&&&

"Willow? What are you doing here?" Cordelia asked, as she hopped into the motor boat.

"Uh, well, you see, Buffy invited me…" the carrot-top trailed off, staring at the dirt.

"That's right. Now, are we going to a party or not?" Buffy grabbed a seat in the boat.

Cordy let out a long sigh, "Well, alright. But keep a low profile, will you? I don't want my reputation to be ruined because of you Willow…no offense."

Buffy rolled her eyes, "Cordy, chill. Willow's a great person."

Willow looked up and smiled, then jumped in.

"Fine, but only because I'm gonna steal those shoes, Willow."

Then they were off.

&&&&&&&&&&&&

The music's beat was consuming Spike as he went through the crowd, finding a place to sit. This had to be the worst party his dorm had every thrown.

Thoughts ran through his head. Last night stood out, of course. God, couldn't they ever leave him alone? Did they really think he was going to run away and never come back? Then, they've got to go run for his sister to come "calm him down." Bloody annoying. Would he ever find a place to think for a while, without them calling the National Guard?

Then there was that girl. Cute little thing. To be honest, Spike felt a little bad for her. Maybe he should have offered directions sooner…okay 2 hours may have been a bit long, but he was entranced. It was those green eyes, and the way she looked into his blue.

Dangerous though, he almost forgot his notebook. Spike didn't want to think what would happen if someone got a hold of that.

&&&&&&&&&&&&

"Hey, there." Angel wrapped his arms around Cordy.

"Hey. Angel, you know Buffy, and this is Willow."

"Hi, haven't seen you around here at parties. You new too?"

"Uh, not really. Been here since the 7th grade actually."

"Oh," Angel looked embarrassed, "Well, hello there anyways. Come on, Cordelia, let's dance."

15 MINUTES LATER

Buffy and Willow were sitting in a corner, talking quietly.

"Not quite as happening as I thought."

"Yeah, even I can tell that this sucks." Willow replied, giggly.

BAM

A lamp had crashed near there hiding place, and a bleached-blonde walked over with a trash bin, chuckling slightly, then yelled out, "Very graceful, Johnny boy."

Spike looked up from the shattered lamp, and saw that girl. How did she get here? Wait, hold on, was that, "Willow? What are you doing here?"

"Spike? Um, hey. Didn't know you were in this hall." Willow looked at Buffy, "This Spike, Annie's brother. I spent last July at there house. Spike, this is Buffy."

"Buffy, eh?" Spiked looked her up and down, "Nice to see you again."

Willow looked confused, "Again? Have you guys met?"

Buffy, still annoyed from Spike's little 'observation' yesterday, replied, "Ah yes. So, Spikey, stalk any girls today?"

"As a matter of fact no. Must be slipping up a bit," Spike walked further up to Buffy. Something about her made him want to tease. He brushed the petite girl's bare shoulder and said,

"Must apologize for yesterday, you just looked so cute all red and frustrated. Must say, you look quite like you did the other day, luv." He moved in closer.

Buffy rolled her eyes, "Would never be your love, Spike." And walked away.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

A/N: Okay, I know this chapter wasn't very original, but that's what fluff is all about, haha. Really, just haven't gathered my thoughts yet. It's heading somewhere, just not sure where that somewhere is.
