"Hey Ponyboy… why were you running?" Dawn asked as Ponyboy ran into the house. Since Angel's house was closer to the school than the Curtis house was, Pony and Johnny usually went there after school. This time, though, Pony had had to stay late for track practice, and Johnny hadn't been feeling well, so he didn't go to school.

The Scooby gang were sitting around in the living room when Ponyboy ran into the house, slamming the door closed behind him. Dawn, Tara, and Willow jumped at the sound, but Dawn was the first to see how upset Pony was.

"The Socs decided it'd be fun to attack me and chase me home," Pony answered guiltily. Buffy raised her eyebrow at the tone.

"And why does that make you to blame?"

"Because I can't fight them off by myself, and a greaser should be able to defend himself!"

"Well, why don't we help?" Angel suggested. "Then when they're gone, Buffy, Spike, and I can teach you how to defend yourself better against group attacks." The others were about to comment when they saw the Socs running up to the house.

"Talk later. Fight now," Buffy announced as she walked out the door. Ponyboy looked to the others to see what they thought of this tiny woman going out to fight nine very large guys. Xander was smiling and shaking his head, Anya just shook her head and resumed counting a wad of cash. Angel and Spike both looked nervous as they walked out the front door behind her. When the sun hit them, they both flinched. Spike suddenly looked around himself, then at his arm, then back around him before shouting in joy; Angel smiled at him indulgently.

"Hi there," Buffy began, smiling at the young men in front of her. "I know this is going to sound way cliché, but why don't you pick on someone your own size?"

"You volunteering?" Bob smirked at the petite blonde.

"Yeah, I kinda am." That got the attention of everyone around the house. The Socs walked closer to the front door, trying to look menacing. Buffy began laughing as they got closer to her. She turned to Xander and Willow and said, "It's like watching Grease. All we need is the hip old music."

"Tell me more, tell me more! Was it love at first sight?" Willow sang quietly.

"Tell me more, tell me more! Did she put up a fight?" Xander continued. With that, all of the Scooby gang struggled to keep from laughing. The laughter was what finally set the Socs off. Bob and Randy were the first two to attack; then the others joined in. At first they avoided Buffy, but when she jumped in front of Giles, they had no choice but to swing at her. There was a momentary pause in the fight as she blocked the punch and knocked Bob's feet out from under him.

Less than five minutes later, the Socs were running away, Bob holding his arm close to his body. Ponyboy looked at the new group, and saw that Buffy, Spike, and Angel looked thrilled. 'They enjoy fighting as much as Dally does,' Ponyboy thought to himself. His thoughts were broken into when Angel dropped his hand on the young boy's arm. Pony looked up into the haunted eyes in inquiry.

"Now we need to start your self-defense classes," Angel told him, trying to smile encouragingly.

ooooooooo

Later that night, both groups were walking in the park when the Socs tried to attack again. There were almost forty Socs to the seven greasers and nine time-travelers. The greasers resigned themselves to the fact that they would be injured by the end of the night. The forty-seven Tulsa residents looked up in surprise and shock when Spike laughed softly.

"At least it's fairly even," he announced. Angel and Buffy looked at him in shock.

"Even?" Buffy asked. The others were inclined to agree; until she continued. "There are only forty of them! That's not even a decent work-out!"

"Buffy, I realize that you're used to stronger competition, but perhaps their larger numbers will hinder us," Giles spoke up. Buffy rolled her eyes.

"There's three of us used to 'stronger competition', Watcher." It was about that time that the Socs began to attack. Within ten minutes, the Socs were ready to go home. Before they could, though, there was a flash of red light, and seven demons appeared in the park. The demons hissed at Buffy.

"Slayer…" they growled lowly. The Socs and Greasers all stepped back as the three best fighters of the Scooby gang got into fighting stances. Anya, Willow, Tara, and Dawn began pulling small pouches from their purses and coats. Giles stood with the other four members of their group and prepared for what was coming. The demons lunged at the group, each getting a hit on the fighters.

The vampires growled and dropped their human faces, allowing the truth to show. The Tulsans all gasped when they saw the wrinkled foreheads and yellow eyes on the duo. They gasped again when Buffy lifted one of the demons off of Xander and threw it across the park. "Angel, Spike! These guys weigh next to nothing when you pick them up!" The vampires nodded and began wearing the demons out by throwing them. As the last demon was thrown onto the rapidly growing pile, there was another flash of light; this time blue, from the area the witches were in. It moved over the demons and engulfed them, making them all disappear.

"Go Witches!" Xander cheered.

"Where did you send them?" Giles asked.

"Um…."

"The troll world…"

"Huh… wonder what'll happen to them."

"They'll be torn to shreds and then eaten," Anya announced while hugging Xander. The Scoobies turned back to the other people, and saw forty-seven very scared faces.

"They're gone now," Buffy told them. Seven faces relaxed. Buffy tilted her head in confusion and looked behind her. She smiled in understanding at what she saw. "Angel, Spike; your faces…" The two of them both shook their heads until their human faces showed. The Socs got up and ran.

"Are you guys…" Willow trailed off as she stared at the greasers.

"We're fine. What are you?" Darry asked.

"I'm the Slayer. Those two are vampires, they're witches, Giles is my Watcher, Anya's an ex-vengeance demon, and Dawn was the key." The greasers just nodded and began leading the way back to their house.
