Part 9

Angel thought a moment then replied, "Dare," to him it actually sounded safer.

"Hmmm..." Buffy pondered thoughts in her head. "I dare you to..." she smiled seductively, "Go take a shower." Everyone moaned at her thought lousy dare. "And wear nothing but a towel for the rest of the game." The girls grinned and Anya even licked her lips, the guys just rolled their eyes. Angel's eyes went slightly big for a sec then he smiled back at her and went off to do his dare.

"So what are we gonna do while he's in their?" Xander questioned.

"Let's go spy on him..." Anya thought aloud. Buffy had a defensive, 'I don't think so!' look that also said, 'The only spy here would be me!'.

Xander was shocked, "Anya!" Spike started to laugh, along with everyone else in the room.

They sat having minor convos for a while, then Angel came out. His hair was still wet, but he already had it spiked. And he wore nothing but the towel around his waist.

Buffy and the girls let out a "Ow OW!". Xander and Spike put defensive arms around their girls, and scowled at Angel. Doyle and Cordy both being his friend laughed at their reactions.

Angel and Buffy grinned at one another, and she stretched out a hand and had him sit behind her. She comfortably leaned back against him and sighed.

"All right, who's the next victim?" Doyle asked.

Angel scanned the crowd with him arms wrapped around Buffy's waist, "Xander, truth or dare?"

Xander looked around, "Who me? Oh yeah, I guess I'd be the only Xander in the room, huh? Truth." Spike and a few others rolled their eyes. "What!" he asked, and got no reply.

Angel thought for a few moments, and decided to make the game kinda serious, "How do you feel about Anya? And how did, or do, you feel about Cordelia?"

The question just had to be asked, and he for one thought that he was the guy to do it. Xander pointed a finger at him, "That's two questions! No fair!" No one laughed they just stared at him, waiting for answers.

He sighed, "Anya, she's great. I mean... she supports me, really cares about me. Really loving, and loyal. Cordelia, she wasn't the greatest girlfriend, but she had her moments. She was good at making me smile, and I really think she cared deeply for me. I liked her because of her, not because of the money and the cars and the friends, if anything that's why I didn't like her. I really liked her, and I made a mistake doing what I did. But I don't think I'd take it back, because she's happy with Doyle, and I have Anya." Cordelia and Anya both seemed satisfied with the answer, and smiled at him.

The others were content with the news. To break the silence Xander picked the next person, "I'd like to get back at someone for a certain question asked, but I think everyone else should get a chance first. Spike, truth or dare?"

Spike seemed startled, and stopped running his fingers through Willow's hair, comfortingly, "Um... Truth. Wouldn't want to be sittin' around in only a towel or nothin'." Willow grinned slightly at this, then stopped suddenly.

"All right. How do you really feel about the chip in your head. Remember, the truth."

Spike glared at the boy, "I hate it!" Everyone looked at him accusingly, "Fine! I kinda like hangin' out with some of you! You ain't too bad, and it's fun to mess with ya'! You like hate me, and it's fun seeing how mad you can get at me! Happy now!"

Spike slumped down in the couch, and Willow sat up. She smiled at him and ran a finger through his bleach blonde hair. Spike turned to glare at her, then softened, and smiled reluctantly. After a few seconds the room exploded with laughter. Spike and Willow smiled at each other, then ignored them.

She curled up, head laying on his chest, his arms around her, and sighed. A moment later the others in the room smiled at the cute couple.

"Hey, Spiky you need to pick someone," Angel reminded him.

"Oh yeah, Buffy," he selected, gaze never leaving Willow.

Buffy shook her head and smiled, "Dare."

Spike grinned at her choice, but still never looked up, "I dare you to kiss Angel...but it can only be a peck." Buffy and Angel both looked devastated, and the others just looked at the floor.

This'll be interesting, they'll never be able to do it. I just want to see the looks on their faces once they turn around from the peck, then a second later start groping each other. I guess that means I have to take my eyes off Will, here. Well, it'll only be a second or two. She looks so cute, and peaceful... Oh here they go.

Buffy turned to Angel getting situated better on his lap, then leaned in a gave him a short peck. They both felt electricity flow through, and that new warmth, and quickly withdrew.

Buffy closed her eyes and turned around, then felt his arms on her sides and it drove her mad. She sighed and spun back around a grabbed his face, pulling him to her, and into a passionate kiss. The room was full of giggles and grins as they went at it.

"Get a room!" Xander yelled, then realize what he'd done, "Oh not literally! You have to stay and play!" But it was too late, Angel pulled Buffy up with him, holding her with one hand and his towel with the other.

The girls looked on as they ran towards the bedroom down the hall. Their eyes went wide as they saw the towel fall to the floor right after he opened the door, as Angel wrapped both arms around Buffy. They went into the room, shut and locked the door, and wouldn't be heard from for the next hour or so.

"Great dare Spike, now we've got to wait for them to get done getting there groove on," Cordelia informed them all.

"Oh well, it was worth it to see the looks on their faces when they turned around trying to control what they wanted to do so badly..." Spike commented, talking more about his own situation then theirs near the end.

God, I want to kiss her! But, I'm a vampire, she's human! Come on think about the other two that used to be vamp and human lovers. Look how they turned out, happy and together... I better wait a while, and make sure it's not some phase, like she just got dumped or something.

"Anyone up for pizza?" Doyle asked making his way to the phone and phonebook.

"Yeah," everyone told him, getting a little tired.

"I say we take a nap while they get groiny with each other," Cordelia suggested, already curling up on the couch.

They all nodded in agreement, and settled down.

Spike laid down, his head using the arm of the love seat as his pillow. Willow lie next to him, using his chest as one. Spike sighed and closed his eyes, happy to have someone with him.

Xander and Anya lie side by side on the lazy-boy, but Anya had a big portion of herself across him.

Cordy had stretched out to accommodate the entire couch. Doyle ordered a few pizzas for when they woke up, to be delivered in about an hour. He came back to see them all resting, and comfortable, and Cor all by herself. He slid in-between her and the couch back, and got situated. She sighed and got as close to him as possible.

Then they all slept.
