The Bronze was smoky as usual, but Chloe could still spot the others sat at their usual table at the other end of the club, thankfully Angelus and Spike had to go and find some 'dinner' so they were coming in later, and not at the same time.
Weaving her way in and out of the masses of partygoers and tables Chloe sat down on the only empty chair on their table, which just so happened to be next to Xander, and unfortunately next to Buffy as well, oh well, you gotta take the good with the bad.
"Heya Chlo, how are you?" Xander, was always the one to open up a conversation with Chloe in it, Buffy and Chloe rarley spoke and Willow felt some sort of loyalty to Buffy, Oz never really spoke to anyone but Willow and Cordy was always too busy chatting someone up.
"I'm OK, a little beat, it's been a long week"
"You're telling me, Mr. Chopskie's history class? I thought it would never end" Chloe giggled as Xander groaned and flopped forwards, almost succeeding in knocking himself out on the table. Suddenly Xander stood up and with a mock bow held out his hand to Chloe.
"Would the lady do me the honours of joining me on the dance floor?" Chloe took his hand and smiled, Xander's jokey personality always managed to get her to forget about the troubles in her life.
"The lady accepts the invitation to dance" She replied graciously and walked with him to the dance floor.
As a new song came on and they moved into a slow swaying rythm Chloe saw out of the corner of her eye Angelus and Spike entering The Bronze, and they clearly spotter her dancing with Xander. Crap, she had hoped to get a dance in before the one dance with him, one dance with me, rule started up, oh well, might as well make the most of it.
Resting her head on Xander's shoulders Chloe allowed the rest of the world to drift away, so that all that was left was her, Xander and the music. All too soon the song ended and they parted.
"You best get back to Buffy Xand, she doesn't look to happy"
"You sure?"
"Oooh, I think I can occupy myself for a little bit on the dance floor"
Xander was greatful, he knew the girls didn't get on, but he didn't understand why, and most likely Buffy would want to moan at him some more for being 'all over' Chloe on the dance floor, once again.
As Xander headed off in one direction Chloe walked off in the other towards Spike and Angelus.
"Hello Angelus, Spike"
"Evening Chloe"
"'lo pet"
"You're not forgetting our little rule are you? I've informed Spike of it"
"Well that's good 'cause I'd like to ask Spike for the first dance" A low growl escaped from deep inside of Angelus's throat but he didn't deny her a dance with Spike, he had after all put it down in the rules he had layed out to her earlier this evening. Spike held his hand out, much like Xander had done earlier and Chloe took it.
"Shall we pet?" Without waiting for an answer Spike walked Chloe on to the dance floor and positioned his hands on her hips, while Chloe put her arms around his neck.
"You know, luv. It's not all that good an idea to mess with my sire"
"I wasn't messing, he gave me the option of dancing with you or him, I chose you"
"Yes, but we both know he expected you to choose him"
"Well it's his fault for him giving me the option to choose then isn't it?"
"I'm sure he'll learn from his mistake ducks"
The rest of the dance was spent in silence and Chloe was surprised at how much at ease she was in Spike's strong arms, she had felt like this with Angelus before, but she spoke to him loads more and had much more contact with him than she did with Spike, she put that thought to the back of her mind and ejoyed the rest of the dance, before pulling away and walking over to the bar where she saw Oz.
"Hey Oz"
"We need to talk"
"Excuse me?"
"Outside, come on"
Chloe followed Oz in some confusion to the door of the club, noticing that once again Angelus and Spike were watching her every move, and they seemed to be in as much confusion as she was, Oz had barely ever said two words to her when the others weren't around.
"What is it?"
"Spike and Angelus" Chloe's eyes widened, had he seen her dancing with Spike, or talking to them before?
"Who?"
"Give it up, I can smell them all over you" Shit Oz was a werewolf, he had heightened senses, she should have remembered that herself. She mentally banged her head against a wall for being so stupid.
"Look please, don't tell the others, I can't explain it but there's a reason, I promise you" Oz looked at her doubtfully and was about to say something else when there was a loud crash and a group of vampires jumped through the skylight in the room and onto the stage. "Come on, lets get back to the others"
When they got there they realised it wasn't really much of a threat, there were only five vampires and Buffy had already dusted of three and was fighting her fourth, Chloe decided against using her magic, it would only cause people morepanic if they saw flying balls of fire, and it was dangerous using them in such a crowded area anyone, she might hit an innocent bystander, that would really put her in Buffy's good books.
Once the small threat was over the gang decided to call it a night and headed outside of the Bronze walking down one of the back alleys when they were stopped, by two master vampires.
"Hello, lover"
