DISCLAIMER: all belongs to Joss Whedon, Sky and Sir are mine

"Sorry, where were you?" He inquired as they reached the large fountain.

"I decided that it was about time I went exploring this place you know." She said excitedly as she sat on the stone around the fountain. "I've been here for a while now and I still don't know exactly what is here." Suddenly she swerved to look at him her eyes sparkling. "Did you know they have a gym here? It's huge, and it's got everything you'd need for a proper work out. And it looks like there's a class on like self defence or something cuz they've got some amazing equipment!"

"Really?" She grabbed his hands and pulled him off the bench.

"Come on, get some stuff you can sweat in and we'll go check it out." Connor laughed and nodded. He ran into his dorm and grabbed his workout bag and ran back to the fountain where Sky was already waiting with a gym bag of her own. Connor raised an eyebrow questioningly.

"I was just coming back from my apartment with my stuff when I peeked into the diner." She smiled and began up the steps of the large university building. She led him through a twist of halls and classrooms until they reached two large doors. As she pushed them open they revealed a huge gym with mats and every piece of equipment he could think anyone would need. Sky pointed to one side of the gym at a door that said men's and entered the one that said women's.

He emerged wearing his grey sweat pants and a white sport tank top, his socks and shoes in the gym bag he carried not wanting to leave it in the locker room for anyone to find. He had just put his stuff down at the side of the room when Sky emerged from the women's locker room carrying her own bag. Connor smiled, she was wearing black sport capres and a tight fitting black tank top with a tight grey tee shirt over top, except the tee shirt was cut off just below her chest and the neck was cut extra wide so it almost fell off her shoulders exposing the straps of the tank top. She had tied her long hair back in a ponytail and had also stuff her socks and her shoes in her bag setting it down next to his own. He tensed as she brushed past and began to stretch showing off her figure. Connor shook his head and joined her in stretching. She then proceeded to lead him through an exhilarating workout.

They began with the treadmill and went on through the rest off the equipment stopping momentarily every now and then for a water break. Then they moved on to weights and then a bit of cardio on the mats. At yet another water break about two hours after beginning Connor realized that she was very fit and she had muscle. Not many females could set the pace for males. The comparison in muscle tone was too great a comparison yet here she was wearing him down.

Her eyes lit as she saw the balancing beam on one side of the room, she quickly bounded over to check it out. Connor followed close behind. She stepped onto the beam and began a slow gymnastics routine comprised of summersaults and flips and turns of all kinds. She was also very limber, he noted. Connor set himself at the rings and slowly worked his arm muscles. As he landed he noticed Sky had stopped with the beam and was watching him. He through his arms up and bowed as if he was at a competition. Sky giggled and clapped.

"Bravo! You definitely know your stuff." She remarked happily. Connor shrugged. He walked over to his bag to search for a new water bottle and accidentally dropped all its contents on the floor. Connor cursed and began picking up his things. He then realised that he had left a stake in the bag from the last time he was out and quickly reached out his hand to hide it but was too late. Sky picked up the stake and twirled it in her palm. Connor looked up hesitantly into her eyes to see what her reaction would be. It was not what he expected. She didn't seem confused or surprised at all.

"It's dull."

"What?" He asked astounded at her remark.

"I'm amazed you can actually kill any vampires with a dull stake. But I guess it comes easy for you seeing as you've got amazing muscles, right." She handed it back to him and smiled as she looked into his eyes. "Me, I prefer shiny things!" Connor was taken aback.
