Notes: Alright, so I know that the characters seem a little off, i.e. Usagi seems and acts 'smarter' than she does in the anime/magna BUT think about it, she's grown up a lot since then. She's now almost 18 years old not 13/14, and besides having had a lot of life changing experiences as Sailor Moon she's now the Slayer and has to deal with vampires and other deadly things that go bump in the night, by herself. Anybody is going to grow up and change a little bit when dealing with things like that. And if you think otherwise *shrugs*, it's a free world, you don't have to read my story.

"There you are Usa!" Rei shouted when I got to the top of the temple steps. "I was almost thinking you were going to back out on us tonight." Rei lowered her voice a notch. "Artemis is here, did you make sure Luna came?"

"Of course, do you think I would miss the opportunity to see her and Artemis together?" I handed her my overnight bag when she offered to carry it. "I also have the chips and soda for snacks. You didn't forget the chocolate, did you?"

It had been such a long time since the five of us had gotten together for a big sleepover; snacks, movies, and scary stories; everything had been taken care of for that night. Rei was obviously in charge of the place to sleep and she also bought some chocolate for us. Ami volunteered to get some movies with Makoto and Minako was bringing over some music.

At Rei's we all gathered in the bedroom/living room. The wall between her bedroom and the living room could fold away and we were able to spread out more when we had sleepovers. Grandpa Hino thankfully retreated willingly from the living room for the night.

When we all had spread out our sleeping bags and pillows we took turns changing in the restroom and soon we were ready to choose the first movie of the night. Often times we had tried to stay up all night long watching one movie after another, but most nights everyone had fallen asleep before we could start a third.

That night, after a lot of bickering back and forth we finally settled on watching The Princess Bride. The movie seemed to have a little bit of everything that each of us wanted to watch. Mina and I wanted to see a romantic movie, but Rei and Makoto wanted to watch something with more physical action. Like usual, Ami never picked a side but safely avoided any kind of confrontation by suggesting something everyone would like.

It was only a little while into the movie – something about insane cliffs – and I finally couldn't ignore the pressing feeling any longer. The same feeling I'd had in the mall earlier. This time there were at least four creatures lurking outside around Rei's home.

"Hey minna, I'm going to the bathroom. That soda must have gone right through me." I excused myself from the room. No one really noticed, they were all so wrapped up in the movie. I passed by Luna and Artemis snuggled next to each other on a cushion by the window. It looked like they had started watching the movie but at the moment they were sound asleep. 'I'll tell Luna about the demons later. She needs some time for herself. Besides, there aren't that many, I can take 'em!'

Next to the door were my shoes and I slipped them on as I grabbed my jacket from a hook right above them. It was early November and the night air was starting to get chilly.

Once outside I could sense six of the same demons from earlier. Two were to my left, one in front and the others coming up on my right.

Since I normally didn't fight demons in the daytime, I wasn't fully prepared for the attack at the mall today and that was why I didn't have any weapons on me. When I was packing for the sleepover Luna suggested I put an axe or something of the sort in my sub space pocket just incase I ran into more of them in the future. After a little flip-di-do on Luna's part I was owner of a shiny new weapon.

Reaching into my sub-space pocket now I pulled out the beautifully carved double-sided axe with the symbol of the moon etched in to the top of the handle. I swung it effortlessly to get a feel for the new weapon and not surprisingly the demons took a unanimous step back.

I flashed a quick grin and before any of them knew it, the first one on my left was headless and the one behind him had a huge gash on his chest. One from my right and one from the front had their daggers in hand and decided to attack me as one.

"Boys, what do you think you are trying to do? Didn't anyone warn you? I am the Slayer. You know, the chosen one?" I taunted them. "You can't win against me."

On the other side of the world a young man is seen walking up the front steps of the Summers' home in Sunnydale, California. When the bell rings Willow is the first to open the door and speak to R.J. "Oh you must be him." Said Willow with the door braced open only a foot. There was no way she was letting him in the house.

R.J. seemed a little nervous and scuffed his foot on the welcome mat. "I was looking for Buffy, Ms. Summers."

"Buffy's not here, go away!" Willow burst out.

"Are you sure?" R.J. pleaded and took a step closer to the door. Willow braced herself and closed the door by a few inches as Anya came up behind her.

"No Buffy for you. Leave quickly now." Anya made a shooing motion from above Willow's head.

"Oh… OK. Tell her to call me." R.J. turned and walked away. Willow and Anya gave each other satisfied grins.

"Man…" Willow looked ready to melt in her shoes. The spell surrounding R.J. had quickly taken over.

"Good thing Buffy and Dawn are upstairs. If they only knew he was here…" Anya had also been affected by the spell and the stars in her eyes were only just beginning to blind her.

Later that night, Anya and Willow had succumbed entirely to the spell and were arguing about who loved R.J. most.

"But you don't even know him!" Willow screeched.

"Yes, I do. I looked into him and saw his soul."

"He was walking away – so unless his soul was in his ass" Willow countered.

Anya interrupted Willow "A.J. is my best friend and my dearest darling."

"It's R.J. and what you were picking up on was he deep caring and devotion to me." Their argument had quickly escalated to a screaming match and had brought Buffy and Dawn downstairs to investigate.

"What? No! You two can't do this." Dawn whispered in complete despair.

Buffy tried to rationalize with Willow by reminding her that she was a gay woman, and R.J. was not. But Willow wouldn't hear any of Buffy's argument. "It isn't about his physical presence. It's about his heart."

Anya butted in then. "His physical presence has a penis."

"I can work around it!" Willow yelled.

By this point no one was paying any attention to Dawn. She was the first girl to fall under R.J.'s spell and the one most effected by it as well. "This isn't fair! How can you be doing this to me?"

Buffy reminded everyone that what the girls were feeling was because of a spell but they all denied being under an enchantment. After more bickering about who loved the boy more, each girl took off on her own to prove once and for all who deserved to be with R.J.

Buffy decided that she should kill the principal of the high school to prove what lengths she would go for love. Willow thought that if she could change him from male to female, she would show the others that she loved him more. Anya wanted to prove her love with money and quickly prepared to rob a few banks down town. Dawn, having been ignored by her family and yelled at by her sister, thought that if she couldn't have R.J. to her self then life wasn't worth living.

However before Willow could get her spell up and running she was interrupted by Xander and Spike who were quickly informed about the situation. They rushed to the school to stop Buffy and Spike managed to wrestle the bazooka out of Buffy's hands just as she was going to launch it at the principal.

Willow and Xander were concerned with where Dawn had gone. And when Buffy came across them in front of the school Willow had already begun a locator spell.

"Human variety. Almost done." Willow was concentrating on the magical items in front of her.

Buffy and Willow had still not been broken from the spell but as soon as they found Dawn sacrificing herself on the train tracks, Buffy jumped to her rescue. Luckily, Buffy grabbed Dawn off of the tracks just seconds before the on-coming train would have hit Dawn.

"What were you doing? I mean, what is this?"

"It doesn't matter?"

Buffy was furious with Dawn, unfortunately she was still under the spell of the jacket. "This is the plan? You're going to seal R.J. by being trisected?"

Dawn looked heartbroken. "What am I going to compete with you? You're older, and hotter, and have sex that's rough, and kill people. I don't have any of that stuff. But if I did this than his whole life he'd know there was someone that loved him so much they'd give up their life."

"Dawn…"

"And it would be true… forever."

"Dawn, no guy is worth your life, not ever."

"R.J. is, and don't say he isn't. Look at what you were willing to do."

Buffy looked astonished and grabbed her sister in a big hug. "Dawn, I would give him to you in a second if I could." Buffy began to cry. "That's how much you are scaring me."

Now it was Dawn's turn to look astonished. "But I- I thought you wanted him for you."

"Nah, well, yeah." Buffy admitted. "My God, that boy is hot. Sorry. I think I might be under a spell here."

"I hear ya."

Once every one had reconvened at the Summers' home they burnt the jacket in the fireplace and remarked on how stupid each of them felt for doing what they did.

Although, Buffy was curious about one more thing, "Xander be honest. You didn't, you know, think about slipping that jacket on just a little bit?"

"I refuse to answer that on the grounds that it didn't fit."

Anya looked like nervous. She sill hadn't told every one about what she had done. "We cannot be responsible for anything we did morally or, you know, legally…"

"Come on Anya, tell us what you can't believe you almost did." Willow prompted the ex-vengeance demon.

"Almost what now?" Anya played dumb.

"No, you can't be the only not embarrassed one. What did you do?"

Anya stumbled and stuttered for a moment. "I, uh, wrote a poem. An epic poem… comparing him to a daisy, and a tower, and a lake."

Then over the radio the morning news was being broadcasted. "And now the latest on Sunnydales' late night bandit who is still at large. A masked thief held up a number of large businesses last night…" Before it could go any further, Anya jumped up and turned off the radio.

"Alright, ice cream. Who wants some? My treat."

I quickly took down the next three demons and had thrown the final one over my shoulder into a tree when I heard the door behind me slide open and someone stepped outside.

I couldn't tell right away who it was, but I was sure that there was going to be some explaining to do.

I sighed.

"Just a minute, let me get this last one, then we'll talk." I said to the person on the stoop without looking behind me. I didn't want to know who it was that discovered my secret already.

I ran over to where the fourth demon was climbing up from the ground. As he stood up I swung my axe into his chest and pinned him to the tree trunk.

I turned around slowly, not knowing who I expected to be watching me. And instead of the one girl I had thought was standing there, all four of them were gaping at me with wide eyes and slack jaws.
