Another World. Chapter 6. More fun, the Scooby's get serious because they need to find the demon and Tammy actually listens to Kat.

The Scooby's are eating breakfast, toast and eggs with orange juice. They all stay quiet. As Tammy is about to sit down, Kat grabs her hand and pulls her towards the front door.

"Will you excuse us," says Kat as she closes the door behind her. "What were you thinking?" Tammy rolls her eyes at Kat.

"Hey, I wasn't the one who let the demon go," says Tammy. Kat gives her an angry look.

"That is so not the point," says Kat. "You can't be with Angel for many reasons. What about David?"

"What about him?"

"Don't you love him anymore?"

"Love is such a strong word."

"Tammy."

"Hey, you did the same. Besides I needed to loosen up. You see he's got these eyes…Oh was he good."

"Everyone has eyes. You need to control your hormones."

"It's kind of hard to do with a lot of hot guys…" Kat's eyes widen as she looks pass Tammy. Tammy stops talking then turns around and sees David. "David." She gives him a big smile then turns back to Kat. "I'm going to hell."

"Yep." Kat smiles at David. "Nice seeing you David." Kat enters the house.

"Did you forget?" ask David.

"Forget…"

"You forgot."

"No I didn't. Just let me think." Tammy starts to think then she gives him a sad face. "I forgot."

"Tammy, we were suppose to go to the Maroon 5 concert down in Miami."

"Oh, that's today. I remember."
"Well, are you ready?"

"Ready now."

"Yeah."

"Um I really want to, but you see my friends, the ones you helped get out of jail, are still here and um…"

"Tammy they are front row seats and VIP passes. You were flipping when I told I got them."

Back inside the house Kat is waiting by the door trying to listen to Tammy and David's conversation. Angel walks over to her and Kat turns around.

"Look I'm sorry about what happen. We kind of got carried away," says Angel. Kat looks at him with a serious expression. "Okay, so I got carried away." Kat smiles.

"It's not my place to say but you know this is not going to work out," says Kat. "It's kind of like when you left Buffy for her own good."

"How do you know about that?"

"I know a lot of stuff about you guys, but I can't really explain it," says Kat.

"So, she's going to do like you did with Xander," says Angel.

"Yes. Not because we want to, but because we need to." From the kitchen table Xander watches Kat and Angel talk near the door way. "You should understand."

"Yeah, all too well." Angel bows his head.

"I'm glad you and Xander are friends."

"We wouldn't have been if it wasn't for you."

"Well, would you do me favor. Be a good friend to him, for me." Angel looks at Kat who has a tiny tear struggling out of her eye. She then turns away and continues to try to listen to Tammy and David.

"I will," Angel responds letting Kat hear it. He then returns to the kitchen and sees Xander just at the doorway of the kitchen. He heard every word she said.

Tammy enters the house and looks at Kat. She closes the door and looks out the window as she sees David drive off down the street.

"I can't believe I forgot about the concert," says Tammy.

"Oh, the Maroon 5 one?" ask Kat. Tammy nods her head. "What you say to him?"

"Pretty much that something came up," says Tammy. "You know the 'I need to save the world thing,' stuff like that."

"Didn't take it well."

"Nope. Neither did I. I mean I wanted go but I knew I couldn't. It's not because of this, but because I feel kind of guilty."

"Yeah, I do too."

"At least you accepted him, Nick."

"Yeah, I know he's got good taste. Check out the ring." Kat shows Tammy the engagement ring that Nick gave to Kat.

"Do you really think it's real, cause it's got this strange thing here and…"

"Oh my gosh."

"What?"

"The ring."

"The movie."

"No." The girls head over to the kitchen. "I know what the demons after."

"How do you know?" ask Buffy.

"If I'm right there will be more than one jewelry heist in town." Willow grabs the lap top and searches for jewelry stores in the news section. Kat is right, there is a pattern of jewelry stores being ransacked by an undefined creature of some sort in every store.

"Okay so he's jewelry thief," says Xander.

"He's after one jewel," says Kat. "This one." Kat shows her engagement ring. Angel goes over to Kat and takes a look at the ring.

"She might be on to something," says Angel. "There's some markings on this. Willow you think you can figure what they mean."

"I think I can," says Willow as she looks at the ring.

"How are you sure it's that particular ring?" ask Spike.

"He kept going after the ring. At the beach he went after Nick when he had the ring. Here he went after me when I had the ring."

"We can use the ring as bate," says Xander.

"Good idea Xander," says Buffy patting him on the shoulder.

"We should do this not in the house," says Kat. "We lure the demon to some place solitary."

"I think I found something about those markings," says Willow. Angel and Buffy look over Willow's shoulder to see the screen. Willow gives the ring to Buffy. "See that marking is the main one that means heart and the other three markings on the side are power sources. The ring must be some kind of powerful stone. Is my guess."

"It's powerful so the demon can't have it," says Buffy. "It's kind of pretty."

"Let me take a look at it pet?" ask Spike. "Looks cubic zirconium to me." Kat takes the ring out of Spike's hand.

"So the demon comes after me and you guys come out and…" Kat explains.

"And vanquish him," says Tammy as she goes over to where the demon was tied up. "Oh, flesh. We've got a potion to make."

"And the rest is…"

"No way. You are not going to be bate," says Xander walking over to her.

"Maybe Spike can do it. We don't mind what happens to him. Well, at least I don't." Tammy smiles. Spike glares at her with a look that could kill.

"There will be no killing of Spike," says Buffy given an evil look to Tammy.

"Fine spoil my fun," says Tammy with a pout. Angel smiles at Tammy.

"Well, um lets get serious here," says Angel. "The powers didn't say we needed to bring him alive so if we can vanquish him then we'll do it. Tammy Willow get working on that potion. Buffy you be bate."

"Hey, you can't send my woman out there with that creature," says Spike to Angel.

"Your woman. I am not your woman," says Buffy.

"That's not what you said the other night during movie night," says Spike. Buffy blushes.

"I'm going go throw up," says Kat giving the ring to Buffy. Kat heads over to her room. Xander laughs and follows Kat with his eyes.
