Chapter 4 Another World. Kat and Xander get busy while the other Scoobies attempt to find where the demon is.
Willow and Tammy are in the kitchen making a potion to use on the demon since the last time they met neither Buffy, Spike or Angel were able to take him. Willow is really impress that Tammy knows so much about potions.
"It's really a hobby," says Tammy.
"But
you really good at it," says Willow. "My advice is to take it
slow. Don't go off on it and try to be almighty."
"I think I
understand what you're getting at," says Tammy.
"So how's the potion coming?" ask Buffy coming over to the kitchen.
"It's pretty strong," says Willow.
"It won't kill him cause for that we would need a piece of his flesh," says Tammy. "But this will give you guys a chance to take him down."
"Good," says Angel walking over to them. "I'm ready to kick his ass." Buffy looks at Angel then looks at Spike who is watching TV on the sofa.
"Hmm, I wonder what's up with Kat and Xander. They've been in there a long time," says Buffy.
"I'll bet their shagging," says Spike as he flips through the channels. "Oh, Spike TV. They have channel named after me." Tammy nods her head and rolls her eyes.
In Kat's bedroom Kat turns and looks at her cell, which tells her she has one miss call. She checks the call.
"Hey, Kat it's me Nick. I know you said we weren't able to go out tonight because you have your visitors, but I really want see you tonight. I need to talk to you. Can we meet at around seven. I'll come over then. Love you." Kat takes a deep breath and turns to the other side. Xander wakes up and looks at Kat with a smile.
"Hey," says Xander touching her face. "What's the matter?" Xander sees a concern look on Kat's face.
"Um, I gotta go," says Kat as she looks for her clothes inside the covers.
"Kat," calls Xander as he grabs his pants and pulls them on.
"Xander this wasn't suppose to happen. Not that I didn't like it cause I did but I'm suppose to tell you that you and I can't do this again." Kat looks in her closet and pulls out a white shirt and a red skirt.
"So this didn't mean anything to you?" Xander bows his head and Kat turns to him.
"It did." Kat pauses for moment and walks over to Xander. "But I can't keep leading you on when we can't be together. It's not fair to any of us." Xander sits back down on the bed.
Then the doorbell rings. Buffy, Spike, Angel, Willow and Tammy all look at the door. Tammy gives Willow an herb that she is about to put into the potion and walks out of the kitchen.
"I'll get it," says Tammy.
Kat quickly pulls her skirt on and runs over to her door. She steps out of her room putting her shoes on.
"I got it," says Kat as she walks over to the door.
"Said your goodbyes," says Tammy with her eye brows going up. Kat rolls her eyes at Tammy before they reach the door.
"I told him what I had to tell him, after we had sex," says Kat as she opens the door. Tammy's mouth drops. "Nick, hi."
"You got my message," says Nick. Kat nods her had yes.
"Where are we going?" ask Kat.
"You'll see," says Nick. Kat says bye to Tammy and closes the door. Tammy turns toward everyone and sees Xander come out of Kat's room. Xander walks over to the sofa and sits next to Spike. Everyone looks at him and Xander looks back at them.
"What?" he ask.
"Nothing," they all say except Spike.
"So you shagged and you got dumped," says Spike. "Tough luck kid." Angels grabs a pillow and throws it at Spike. Xander glares at Spike.
"Spike," says Buffy as she goes over to Xander side. She pushes Spike off the sofa and sits next to him. "I know how you feel. It's really hard sometimes." Buffy puts her hand on his shoulder.
"Hey, mate if you hate her, I'll bite her for you," Spike suggest. Buffy grabs a pillow and smacks him with it. "Ouch."
"Thanks for the suggestion Spike, but I'm not into the vengeance deal," says Xander. "The problem is that she's right and it's hard to let a guy like me figure out that she is."
Meanwhile at the beach, Nick and Kat walk along the shoreline. Nick takes Kat's hand and turns her to face him.
" I really wanted to do this at the restaurant, but this will be the second best place," says place.
"Nick you're freaking me out a little," says Kat not knowing what Nick has in store for her.
"Don't," says Nick soothing her hand. "I just have one question." Nick pulls out a small box and opens it. Kat gasp at the beautiful single diamond ring inside the box. Nick gets on one knee and looks up to Kat.
"Kat, we've been together for a year now and I feel like I've known you forever. You're incredible human being and I'd be ever so privileged if you would be my wife." Kat just stares at Nick speechless. She then looks pass Nick and sees the demon walking towards them. Kat, without a word, pulls Nick up and starts running away.
"Kat what's going on?" ask Nick. Kat takes Nick's cell phone from his pocket. She dials her house number.
"Hello," says Tammy.
"Tammy I'm at the beach and the demon is after us," says Kat really fast.
"The demon at the beach," says Tammy. Xander gets up from the sofa and walks over to Tammy. "Kat I can't hear you. You're breaking up."
"She's at the beach," says Xander. "What beach."
"It has to be the one nearest here," replies Tammy.
"Lets move," says Buffy leading the group.
"Willow and I will stay here to finish the potion," says Tammy.
Back at the beach Kat and Nick are still running away from the demon. The demon then decides to shimmer out and shimmer in front of them. Kat and Nick back away.
"Go that way and I'll go this way," says Kat as she pushes him to towards the parking lot.
"What is that?" Kat tires to make the demon chase her but he doesn't. He walks chases Nick.
"No!" says Kat as she runs over to the demon and jumps on his back.
Buffy, Angel, Spike and Xander arrive at the beach and see Kat jump on the demon's back. They all ran down to them.
"Xander take Kat's boyfriend out of here," says Buffy. Xander rolls his eyes then goes over to Nick.
Kat then gets toss off the demon and falls on top of Spike and Buffy. Angel then goes up to him and tries to take him but he shimmers out.
"I hate when they do that," says Angel. He turns around and sees the demon behind Nick and Xander. The demon smacks Xander aside and grabs Nick by the throat.
"Let drop my fiancé," says Kat as she kicks the demon in the gut. The demon drops Nick and backs up a little. Angle and Spike rush over to the demon and grab his arms from behind. The two pull him away from Kat and Nick.
"Are you okay," says Xander as he gets up and goes to Kat. She turns to him and her heart stops for a second.
"Yeah," replies Kat. "Are you?" Xander nods his head.
"What's going on here? What the hell is that, Kat?" ask Nick a little hysterical.
"Hell is the prime word for it," says Buffy walking over to demon who struggles to get free from Angel and Spike's grip.
"Nick is really hard to explain," says Kat.
"Not really," says Xander turning to Nick. "He's a body builder in disguise. Steroids make him a little not alright. He's attracted to pretty girls like Kat here." Buffy looks at Xander.
"Right, we're undercover officers," says Buffy. "No one is suppose to know so if you could keep this incident to yourself it would most appreciated." Nick nods his head yes and Kat takes him away from the scene.
The two walk over to Nick's car and are silent. Nick opens the his car door and stops to look at Kat.
"When you kicked that guy, you said I was your fiancé," says Nick.
"You heard that," says Kat.
"Is that a yes." Kat looks at him straight in the eyes.
"Yes," replies Kat as she hugs him. From the rear view mirror in the car Kat sees Xander hearing her say yes to Nick.
