Through The Years 3?
Don't own them, if I did, they would be together all the time.
Buffy and her mother stood in front of Chase Manor, it was Saturday night and Buffy was going to sleep over. Joyce rung the doorbell and Vinceinzo opened the door, and the little blonde hid behind her mother. No matter how many times she had come over, he still scared her.
"Hello, Vinceinzo." Joyce greeted.
"Hello, Mrs. Summers, Buffy?" He greeted the two guests, and ushered them in.
Buffy held on tightly to her mother until she saw Cordelia come down the stairs. The blonde immediately let go of her mother's hand and ran to her friend.
"I'm so glad you're here." Cordelia gave her a hug.
"I wouldn't miss this for the world. Where is everyone else?" She asked.
"They haven't gotten here yet, we are going to have so much fun." The brunette grabbed the blondes hand and they ran up the stairs.
Joyce watched as they disappeared. Victoria Chase came up beside her with a smile.
"When those two are around each other, no one seems to exist but them." She told the elder Summers.
"Tell me about it. My little girl is all grown up."
"Come on let's go get some tea, thanks for bringing her over here."
"No problem."
The two women walked into the kitchen to partake in tea.
Buffy and Cordelia were playing Barbie, Buffy had got a new one and wanted to show her friend.
"Guess what?" The brunette asked her friend.
"What?" Buffy asked curiously.
"Mommy and daddy said you can go with us to Mexico for Spring Break. My mom is going to talk to your mom to see if you can go."
"That would be so cool; I've never been there before."
The girls continued playing until Willow and Tara arrived. They all squealed in delight and began having a night of fun. They painted each other's nails, and did hair, played Barbie's and just did things that kids their age do.
"Angel likes Buffy." Willow teased.
"No he doesn't. I don't like him, he's an icky boy with cooties." Buffy frowned up her nose.
"He told Xander the other day, that's why he picks on you so much." Tara added.
Cordelia rolled her eyes, "Angel can't like Buffy, he's a boy, besides Buffy likes me don't you?" She asked.
Buffy blushed, "Yeah I do." She smiled at the brunette.
It would be amazing how children can find someone that they have so much in common with. Antonio Chase opened the door to Cordelia's room startling the foursome.
"Sorry, I just wanted to tell my favorite girl and her friends good night." He gave them each a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"Good night daddy." Cordelia told the older man.
"Sleep tight princess." He told his daughter and gave Buffy a wink. He closed the door behind him.
"See I told you my daddy likes you." She told Buffy.
The girls busted out in a fit of giggles. "Come on let's see if Rosario can make us some sundaes." Cordelia suggested.
The four girls padded down the stairs and into the kitchen, when they saw Rosario making a fresh batch of pizzas. Cordelia sat down at the counter Buffy sat on one side, Willow sat on the other, and Tara sat on the opposite side of Willow. Rosario turned around and let out a little shriek when she saw four little heads looking at her.
"You children gave me quite a fright. What are you doing down here?" She asked them.
"Can you make us some sundaes please?" Buffy asked.
Rosario smiled at the little blonde. She was very polite, and could warm the hearts of even the coldest person, the complete opposite of Cordelia. There was no way she could deny her anything.
"Eat first, sundaes later, okay wee one?" Rosario gave her a smile, Buffy just blushed.
The cook went about dishing out the pizza to the girls. They dug in with much gusto; she couldn't understand how such little people could eat so much. She was just glad that they were eaters. Buffy was the first one finished and politely asked for some juice. Tara and Willow did the same. Cordelia was the last to finish eating and got some juice also.
"You young'uns must have been hungry." She smiled at the girls.
"Yes, pizza is our favorite too bad our mommies won't let us eat it at school." Tara added.
Once their food was digested Rosario went about making the girls their sundaes and even allowed them to help. Buffy had everything on hers, and Cordelia just had fudge sauce and a cherry. They began to eat until their hearts content, satisfied that they were finally getting some sugar. The sugary confection was consumed in no time at all, each and every one of them were a chocolaty mess. Rosario handed them each a wet nap for them to clean their hands and faces.
Cordelia noticed that her friend missed a spot of ice cream. Without thinking she took her wet nap and wiped the side of Buffy's cheek. They exchanged a secret smile and hopped off of the stools.
"Let's watch a movie upstairs in my room." The four of them ran up the stairs and into Cordelia's room.
Each girl got their sleeping bag situated on the floor, Buffy was closest to Cordelia. Willow was lying near the closet door and Tara was in the middle of the TV and Cordelia and Buffy. Cinderella was playing in the background as four little girls drifted off to sleep. Victoria walked into the room to check on them and smiled as she saw them all asleep. She went and got her camera to capture the moment, but one picture caught her eye. Buffy and Cordelia were snuggled up together in each other's arms. She took the pictures carefully as to not wake them up. Closing the door softly she went back to her room and fell asleep herself.
The next morning dawned bright and early in the Chase house. The terrible foursome was loud and obnoxious. The whole house was awaken by their laughs, and different antics. For six year olds they had a lot of energy. Breakfast was served and baths were taken, they spent most of their time outside until it was time for them to go. Willows mom was the first to come.
"Hi girls, Hi Willow. Did you have fun?" Sheila Rosenberg asked her own daughter.
"Yeah, we did, we had pizza, played games, and even had sundaes." The redhead told her mother.
"Tell your friends bye, and you'll see them at school."
"Bye guys." She shouted and took her mother's hand and left.
Cordelia, Tara, and Buffy went back to playing hopscotch another fun game for kids to play. In the middle of play Buffy doubled over in pain, and began crying. Tara got scared and ran inside and got any available adult. Antonio Chase came out onto the patio at the crying girls request. He knelt down to the small blonde and felt her head, she was burning up.
"Buffy, tell me what's wrong sweetie?" He asked the crying little girl.
"My right side hurts really bad, like someone's hitting me." She cried out.
He picked her up and called for his wife, they rushed to the emergency room leaving a frightened and scared Tara behind. Tara's mom came to pick her up and reassured her that Buffy was going to be okay, and she will take her to see her later. The little brunette looked out her window and started crying for her friend who was in the hospital.
The walk down the hospital corridor was scary if you were little. Cordelia held on to her mother's hand while carrying some flowers and balloons in the other. Her parents explained about Buffy's appendix surgery. It was the first time she had to deal without her friend at school. Victoria knocked on the room door and entered. The brunette looked scared seeing her friend in the bed like that.
"It's okay Cordelia, she's fine. She's just resting come see." Joyce held out her hand, and the young girl took it.
Cordelia stood beside her friend's bed, and looked at her as she slept. Joyce and Victoria left them alone for a little while.
"Hi Buffy, I came to visit you. I know you're asleep and you probably can't here me. I missed you today at school." She sat down in the chair next to her friend's bed.
Buffy began to stir and looked over to her side and saw Cordelia sitting there. She smiled her first real smile since being brought in.
"Hi Cordy, what happened in school today?" Buffy patted the bed beside her for the brunette to climb up.
Taking off her shoes Cordelia climbed up in the bed with her best friend. She gave her a small hug.
"School was okay, everyone made you cards, and Mr. Giles will bring them by later. Angel started brooding when he found out you were in the hospital. Faith told me to tell you to get better. Everyone else missed you, even Darla asked about you." She told her blonde friend.
"Sounds like I missed a lot. I am going to be out of school for about a week. They gave me a cut and then put stitches." She pointed underneath the covers.
"Did it hurt?"
"No, I was asleep. I didn't feel a thing." She smiled.
Cordelia looked at Buffy sadly; she missed her friend a lot. Without her around it seems empty. All she wanted was to have her friend back. Tara and Willow are good friends, but it's not the same without Buffy. She is like her sister, and her partner in crime.
"What's wrong Cordy? You look sad." Buffy asked her friend.
"I miss you that's all. I can't wait for you to get better; it's not the same without you." She told her honestly.
"I miss you too, tell you what, when I get better I'll have mom let you spend a whole week with me. If your mom says it's okay." She gave her friend a big smile.
They hugged again this time a little bit longer. "I love you Buffy." Cordelia said into her hair.
"I love you too Cordy." She said in return.
They continued laughing and talking loudly until Victoria told her daughter it was time to go. They hugged again and she gave Buffy a kiss on her cheek. Both mother's watched this sweet moment. The girls exchange I love you's and Cordelia left, leaving Buffy and her mother alone.
