Disclaimer: If you read the last chapter, you'd know why I'm not putting one.
radiofreegirl: Ok, Spike is NOT Corina's father, Angel is. That'd be totally disturbing if she liked her dad. I'm not twisted enough for that.
Ghostwriter: Angel's gonna come back later, in a couple of chapters. He just doesn't know he has a daughter yet.
"So, you left him in a motel?" Danielle looked at her friend incredously. "Why?"
"Because I'm not taking a vampire into my house, and I'm not paying for a hotel room," Corina retorted.
"Wait, wait, wait, you're the one paying?"
"He's gonna pay me back, I just payed for the night," Corina shrugged. "By the way, my mom's old friends moved out here, so thier kids are going to start at the high school over here tomorrow. And I'm supposed to show them around and all that crap. Wanna help me?"
"Eh, why not?" Danielle shook her head. "Your mom's old friends? Do they know about the whole Slayer thing?"
"Yeah, but I don't think their kids do. Hell, I think we're the only two who do that are under thirty-eight."
"Are they our age? Any cute boys?"
"Their our age, and there's only one boy, but he has a girlfriend back in his hometown."
"Too bad," Danielle was silent for a moment. "Hey, we still have to read the next four chapters of Pride And Prejudice," she grinned at her friend. "You read the first two and I'll read the second two, sound good?"
"Always does," Corina returned the grin and opened the door to Spike's motel room. "Hey, 'Big Bad', all better?"
"Yep," Spike looked up at her from the bed. He was leaning against the headboard and watching some show on the T.V. "Who's your friend?"
"Name's Danielle, call me Dani," the brunette sat on the bed next to him. "What're you watching?"
"Passions," he answered her a moment before she grabbed the remote from him and changed the channel. "Hey, I was watching that."
"Well, now you're watching Family Guy," she gave him a sweet smile. "So, you really can't hurt humans?"
For answer Spike morphed to his vampire face and started to attack her. Less than two seconds later he was holding his head and had practically fallen off the bed. "Oh, bloody hell, that hurts!"
"Thanks for anwsering my question," Danielle said.
"So, you know about vampires?" Spike asked as the pain left. "What're you, her Scoobie?"
"My what?" Corina looked at him like he was crazy.
"Never mind," he turned his gaze back to the T.V. "Why's the baby talking?"
"Because Stewie talks, duh. That's why he's so funny. Well, that and 'cause he's evil," Danielle rolled her eyes.
"You're very strange," the vampire told her.
"You'd be amazed how many people tell me that."
"No I wouldn't."
"So, you gonna go back to your crypt?" Corina interrupted the conversation.
"Not particurlarly," he told her. "Know anywhere I can stay?"
"No, how about you Dani?"
"He can stay in my basement. You know my mom never goes down there" Danielle suggested.
"And yet it's the best place in your house."
"Hey, what's wrong with the rest of the house?"
"Nothing," Corina said.
"So I'm staying with you?" Spike asked Danielle.
"Yeah, so be quiet, if my mom finds out, she'll kill you."
"Guys, we better start moving," Corina urged them to her car. "Who's sitting shotgun?"
"Me!" The two answered simulteonuosly.
"You've got to be kidding me," she resisted the urge to slap herself on the forehead.
"What?" Danielle looked at her suspiciously.
"Oh, nothing, nothing at all," the black-haired girl answered. "Just that I'm always surrounded by lunatics,"
she murmured.
"I heard that," Danielle grinned. "But I'm still sitting shotgun." She slid into the front passenger seat before Spike could retort.
"Sorry," Corina shrugged to Spike, who sat in the backseat, grumbling under his breath.
At Danielle's House
"So, you ok with this?" Corina muttered to Danielle.
" 'Course," she answered, shutting the door to her basement, where Spike was resting. "Just be glad my mom likes to keep it like a rec room. Never understood why, since we have one up here, but whatever."
"It's 'cause when she was alive, the teens hung out down there."
"Please, she wasn't alive in the seventies. Was she?" Danielle looked thoughtful for a moment. Then "oh, who cares?"
"That's the right attitude. So, was I right?"
"About him being hot? Oh, yeah!"
"No, well, ok, yeah, but I meant, has Chris asked you out yet?"
"Oh, that. Yeah, unfortunately, I turned him down as gently as possible."
"You yelled 'ew' really loud in public, didn't you?"
"You say that like it's a bad thing."
"Hey, pets," Spike joined them from the basement. "Corina, want to go out tomorrow?" he asked her.
"Yeah, that'd be great," Corina tried not to grin like an idiot, until she saw Danielle discreetly leave the room to give them privacy. "I'll come over here, and we can go to the Bronze."
"Sounds good," Spike smirked, and opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Danielle running in.
"Quick, get in the basement, now, my mom's back," she started pushing him through the basement door. He took the hint and disappeared downstairs. "Hey, mom," she added as her mother came in.
"Hey, Dani, Cori," her mother put down the bags of groceries in her arms. "Been good?"
"As good as we always are," Corina grinned.
"Still better than me at your age. So, the normal Slayer's doing her job tonight?"
"Yep, just like you used to," Danielle answered.
"Thinking back to then, I'm glad neither of you are Slayers," Faith ruffled her daughter's and her best friend's hair.
What can I say, I just couldn't get the idea of Buffy and Faith's daughters being best friends. BTW, Faith and buffy don't know their daughters' mothers. At least, for the moment, probably find out later though. Please review, they make me warm and fuzzy.
