Authors note: This fanfic takes place after the season six episode 'Wrecked'. (acttually a little more like after 'Double meat palace')

And if any of you are wondering about the title, I got it from a line in the first Scooby Doo movie (starring Sarah Michelle Gellar)

I am not Joss Whedon, and I don't have anything to do with Joss, 20th centry fox, or mutant enemy. (Or anything Scooby Doo)

here's my fanfic...

Buffy the vampire slayer

Something Seriously Messed Up Is Happening

Written by Dawnie fan-14

CHAPTER ONE

A cold breeze swept through Shady Hill Cemetery, as Buffy was taking her last round on patrol. Buffy could feel the cold air go right through her.

"Man, I knew I should have have taken my jacket with me." Buffy said to herself. She decided to make this patrol a short one, because of the lack of jacket.

"Here vampires, here demons. Time to get your asses kicked by me." She said quietly in sing-song. Then she suddenly heard a girl scream.

"OK, fighting time." Buffy said, then she bolted through the cemetery. I hope I can get there in time. Buffy thought as she jumped over a gravestone, trying to get to whoever it was that was screaming before they became demon chow. Buffy rounded the corner of one of the many crypts in the cemetery and finally saw the girl, and about six vampires. When she finally got to the scene, she found that she was to late. The girl she heard screaming was dead, and the gang of vampires were standing over her lifeless body. Buffy walked up behind them, and then one of the vampires turned around.

"Slayer!" the vampire called to the others. The gang of vamps all turned to face her.

"Hey, nobody likes a snitch." Buffy said as she threw her stake, it hit home. Suddenly the vampire gang ran for her.

"How dumb are all of you? Me slayer, you piles O' dust." Buffy then kicked a vampire in the face that charged towards her. As she was fighting, she failled to notice the vampire trying to sneak up on her. Buffy then staked the vampire that she was fighting, suddenly something hit Buffy from behind, and she fell to the ground.

"Not so tough now are you Slayer?" The vampire that hit her said. The vampire was a skinny goth girl. She reminded Buffy of Sally from The nightmare before Christmas. Buffy did a flip, and landed on her feet.

"Let me answer your question 'Sally' with this." Buffy said as she punched the vampire in the stomach, which made the vampire doubleover from the blow. Buffy took full advantage of this, and brought her knee up in the vampires face and the vamp fell to the ground.

"Sorry, did I do that?" She asked as she pulled a stake from one of the pockets of her jeans,

She then staked 'Sally', and the vampire turned to dust. A vampire that looked like he was trying to be the next Mariln Manson, grabed Buffy from behind.

"You killed my girlfriend!" He screamed in her ear. Buffy punched him in the face, and he fell backwards.

Buffy turned around and finally got a good look at her attacker. Oh, he's got to be kidding.

"Well, from the look of you, I would say it was a mercy killing." She said as she staked him.

"Oh, Sh-" The vampire said as he turned to dust.

Buffy looked around to see where the other vampires were. She saw one, it jumped out from behind one of the crypts. The vampire ran towards her, and Buffy had her stake at the ready. And right when Buffy had it within slaying distance, Spike came out from the shadows, tackling the vampire. Crap.

Buffy watched as the vamp punched Spike, and Spike returned the favor.

"Spike, what the hell are you doing?" Buffy asked.

Spike looked over his shoulder, and with that momentary destraction, Spike didn't see the vampire pull out a knife.

"Well, for you info-, OW! Bloody hell!" Spike shouted. He looked down at the vampire he was stradling, and he had the pocket knife stabed into Spike's side.

"Oh, your going to pay for that one mate." Spike said as he pulled the knife from his side, he then took the knife and placed it at the vampire's throat. It took a minute, but he finally decapitated the vampire.

"Well, that was a blast." Spike said as he examined the wound the knife had made.

Buffy walked over to him. "Yes, a big blast. So, mind telling me why you're here." Buffy said. Why is he always doing this? Why is he always following me? Buffy asked herself. It's because he's in love with me, It's because I sleep with him. Buffy suddenly was taken away from her thoughts by Spike.

"Well, I wanted to get a bit of the rough and tumble, which I'm still up for." Spike gave a knowing smirk.

Oh, my god! Buffy thought, He wants to...EW! not tonight.

"Spike, I told you already. That was a misstake, I wasn't myself. And that will never happen again." Buffy then walked off to find the other vampires that ran off. And of course, Spike followed.

"Never say never, Luv. Besides, that's what you said the first time." Spike said as he caught up to her. Buffy was walking faster, trying to get as far away from Spike as she could. It didn't work.

"What's the hurry Luv? You trying to get rid of the 'Baddies' so we can be alone?" Spike said with a little evil laugh.

He knows this gets to me. Buffy continued walking, when five more vampires jumped out in front of Buffy and Spike.

"This her?" one of the fang gang asked.

"Yeah, And there's her little pet." One of the vampires that she saw earlier said. The other members of the vamp bregade laughed at that.

"Sod off! You bloody poofters!" Spike said angrily.

"Oh, is the Slayer's pet angery?" A bald vampire with tattoos said.

"Yeah, what are you going to do? Hide behind your slayer?" With that the laughter started up again.

"No. But your about to find out." Spike then jumped at the vampire that first called him 'Slayer's pet', and gave him two kicks to the face, then he did a elbow jab to the middle of the vampires back. Spike pulled a stake from his leather duster, and was about to stake the vampire.When two of the other vampires, 'Balddy', and a skinny nerd, grabed Spikes arms.

Buffy then jumped into the fray.She did a side kick to 'Skinny's' head, sending him sprawling to the ground. Buffy staked him, then something tackled her from behind, it was a female vampire, and she was pissed.

"You slayed my boyfriend! And now I'm going to slay you!" The vampire shreaked.

"Oh, for cryin' out loud. Now your going to hold a grudge against me?" Buffy asked as she got back to her feet. The vampire that she was now fighting gave her a back handed blow to the face.

"You always think your so cute, don't you Slayer?" The vamp asked.

Buffy looked at the vampire. "Well, at least I know how to dress." Buffy said as she staked the vampire. Buffy turned, noticing that the fight had taken her away from where Spike and the other vampires were, and ran back to where Spike was still fighting the vampire that had called him the slayer's pet, and another vampire.

Spike had already staked 'Balddy' and another one, and was now back to fighting his mane taget.

"Spike need any help?" Buffy asked.

"No, But one of these guys just ran off that way." Spike stoped punching long enough to point to the right.

"Thanks." Buffy then took off in that direction.

It wasn't long before she found the vampire. Buffy ran full speed through the cemetery. Making sure not to take her eyes off the vampire she was chasing after, the male vampire still in bumpy face mode zigzagged around gravestone after gravestone, thinking it would prevent the slayer from catching him. He was very wrong; She leaped over the gravestones with ease and knocked him into a large oak. She kneed his face and dragged him up, ramming a stake into his chest.

"Tag, your it." She smirked at explosion of dust. Holding up her hand in a fist and coughing into it, "Stupid vampires, really not good for the sinuses." she felt good now flexing her shoulders; it was a good slay.

She heard the crunch of leaves behind her, gripping her stake tightly she whirled around, Ready to stake another vampire. And Spike was there, he had caught her wrist before she might have staked him.

"Easy now Luv. wouldn't want to stake me now, would you?" Spike let go of her wrist, and smiled at her.

Staking you might not be such a bad idea... Buffy thought, as she put her stake back in the back pocket of her jeans.

"Now, about that rough and tumble." Spike said as he smirked at her.

"No spike not tonight! I left Dawn at home alone because Willow is out studying late. I have to get back home to make sure nothings happend." Buffy walked off towards the cemetery exit. Leaving Spike standing there.

Yeah, not tonight luv. But I know you'll be back soon. Spike thought to himself as he watched Buffy leave. Very soon...

Dawn stretched on the couch, it was around four o'clock and she still wasn't in bed. It wasn't that she wasn't sleepy or tired, she just couldn't sleep until Buffy came home, she couldn't sleep without the slayer's presence in the house. Dawn used to do this since she was twevle, it was like Buffy's presence was her safty blanket. Laying on the couch beneath her old Tigger throw, Mr. Gordo wrapped in her arms, in spite of the cast on her left arm. Her blue pj pants clashed with the orange blanket, some meaningless late night talk show was on. But the brunettes thoughts wondered off.

Where's Buffy? I wonder what's taking so long. I hope she's not going to be out fighting demons all night like she did last week, when Tara had to stay over, Which wasn't so bad, I hadn't seen Tara for a few weeks, so it was nice to spend the day with her. But tonight Tara isn't here.

The audients laughed and Dawn jumped a little. She looked at the clock again, four thirty.

I wish Buffy would talk to us, I keep seeing her staring off into space. In the Magic box, here, every where. I wish she would start acting like Buffy, it was like having the Buffy Bot all over again. Except this model had body heat and could breath.

Instantly Dawn felt guilty about what she just thought, of course everyone noticed that Buffy wouldn't really ever be the same,really nobody was. Willow and Tara broke up because Willow was abusing her magic, and ended up going to Rack with Amy, and accidentaly raised a demon that chased us. Then the car we tried to escape in crashed, injuring my arm. Xander and Anya are getting married, but they're having fights more and more lately, Spike hasn't been around in the last week, And Giles was back in England.

Dawn guessed that everybody was trying to get things back to normal, but It still hurt though, it felt like her sister wasn't really there, it felt like no one was there.

I wonder what's taking Buffy so long? I hope nothing has happend. Oh god, what if something happend? Ok, calm down. Nothing's happend, Buffy's fine. She's just finishing off whatever demons or vamps she ran into on patrol.

Dawn glanced at the clock again.

Four thirty seven. Where is she? Is Spike with her? Why is he always helping, not that I mind. I guess it's because Buffy died and I almost died. He's actually pretty helpfull, if only the rest of the scooby gang could see that. I guess he does it because he loves us, or at least me and Buffy.

Dawn suddenly heard a sound at the door, then the clinking of keys. Dawn leaned back and gripped Mr. Gordo, the orange blanket half covered her. She closed her eyes, feining sleep.

Buffy quitely steped inside and closed the door behind her.

"Dawnie, I'm home." Buffy said quite enough that if her sister was sleeping she wouldn't wake her, she figured that Dawn should be in bed, but she was wrong.

Buffy looked at her sister sleeping on the couch, she aproached her silently. Leaning over, Buffy pulled the blanket higher, covering her little sister.

She was waiting for me. Buffy thought, She wanted to make sure I got home safe, she's been worried about me. I know everyone has, the looks on thier faces, the way they look at me, I can even hear it in their voice. After I came back, I haven't really been there for everyone, not like I used to. I haven't even been there for Dawn, I wish I was. She cares about me so much, and I care about her more than anything in this world, I need to be here for her. But I can't stop the feelings, all those dreams I still have, all the thoughts, and now Spike... Buffy leaned back over, kissed Dawn's forehead Buffy murmurred, "I love you. 'Night Dawn." Then she quitely walked up the stares.

Once Buffy left the room Dawn opened her eyes slightly. I love you to, She thought to herself. and I'll find some way to make things better...for everybody. Then she closed her eyes again, nodding off into sleep.

It was about five eighteen in the morning when Willow came home. She had told Buffy and Dawn that she was going to be studying, but she kinda lied. Willow was out studying, no lie there, but the rest of the night was spent at the park. Visiting all the places she and Tara use to go, places they would go and sit and talk before they broke up.

I miss Tara. that was something Willow couldn't stop thinking, acttualy she couldn't stop thinking about Tara in genral.

Why did I have to be so stupid, why couldn't I have listened to Tara and quit abusing my magic. Willow quitely walked up stairs, trying not to wake anybody up.

Every thing would be find if I had quit. I would still be with Tara, I could still use magic to help my friends, I wouldn't have to stay away from the spell books at the Magic Box. Willow entered her room, taking off her jacket and tossing it on a chair.

Some how it felt wrong when ever she came back to this room, it was always empty. No Tara, no any body. Not even Amy, but it was a good thing that she turned Amy back into a human, she always thought Amy would spend the rest of her life as a rat, But she didn't want that to happen. Now Amy was human again, Willow was happy about that, only side effect was Amy had taken her to see Rack. Rack had made her get even more addicted than what she already had been, and she ended up hurting Dawn while in her magicly drugged state.

Poor Dawnie, I think she's still mad at me a little, she said it was a bad mistake, and she forgives me. But I still fell something every now and again. Willow put on her night cloths and got into bed.

Mabe things will be better tomorrow. Willow turned out the light and slipped under the covers. Hopefully things would be a lot better. Willow snuggled into the pillow next to her, wishing it was Tara.
