Sorry I took so long, I've been banned from the computer for failing geometry, bitch of a subject. Anyways, hope you enjoy this chapter. By the way, the Bronze thing is, at Halloween everyone who goes dresses up. And this is at Halloween time, 'cause it's Halloween, and I love this holiday.
Disclaimer: You read chapters 1 and 2. Oh, and I don't own Spirit. It's an actual store.
Ghostwriter: Thank ya!
Max: Nah, Spike didn't find out 'til later, remember? Hope ya enjoy this chapter.
meconnorsanglesassassin: You'll get your cookie. It shall be a picture of your favorite character. Now tell me...who's your favorite character?
Angel Sumoritos: Of course Spike and Cori will. But I haven't decided on Buffy and Angel yet. He annoys me a lot. And thank you, I feel special now!
A Week Later
"So, what'dya think of this?" Dani modeled her costume at the Halloween store, Spirits, which was a sexy french maid outfit.
"Very nice, fits you perfectly," Cori teased. Her friend just stuck out her tongue. She retaliated and turned back to the costume rack. "What about this?" She held up a witch's shroud.
"Try it on," Dani commanded. The black-haired girl obliged and emerged from the dressing room a few mintues later. It was slinky and showed off her figure, and reached the floor, covering her shoes. The sleeves slightly flared out, and there was a hood hanging off the back. "You look good!"
"Thanks," Cori grinned.
"Come on, we gotta change out of these so we can pay for them."
"So, you got a date for tomorrow night?"
"Nah, I'll just hang out. How 'bout you? You going with Spike?" Dani asked. Cori sighed and looked to the side.
"I'm still...it's just so weird since I found out about him and my mom."
"I know," Dani said sympathetically. "But he really misses you."
"I miss him too," Cori admitted.
"Then go talk to him. Trust me, he totally loves you," the brunette nodded wisely. "Ever since you two have had this break, he's been all mopey and depressed."
"Seriously?"
"Seriously," Dani confirmed it. "He's head over heels for you. And I know you're head over heels for him too." She smirked when her friend smiled softly. "See? So, talk to him."
"All right, all right," Cori shook her head, giving her friend a small smile. "You win. In a few days I'll talk to him. I promise," she added at Dani's skeptical look.
"You better, the boy's too hot to be single for long," Dani stated. "What?" she asked her friend, who had given her a look.
The Next Night/Halloween
Cori grinned as Dani was surrounded by a circle of boys on the dance floor, all of whom where drooling slightly at her costume. She looked at Cori and winked, a smirk on her lips as she danced seductively. The Potential shook her head, trying not to laugh.
"What's so funny, Love?" she heard a familiar, British, voice behind her. She turned around to see Spike, dressed kind of like Billy Idol (A/N: I'm actually thinking of how he was dressed in the seventies, from 'A Fool For Love', and that's the only way I can think of to describe it. He looked soooo hot like that...Spike...oh, ahem, sorry). She smiled softly.
"Hey 'Big Bad'," she greeted him. "I'm just laughing at all those poor boys who wish they had a chance with her," she nodded to Dani. He looked over her head at her friend and smirked.
"Poor whelps," he smirked.
"What're you doin' here?" she asked. "This never seemed like your kind of thing. You hate all the vampires who come out during Halloween."
"It isn't, but Dani mentioned you'd be here, so I thought I'd show up."
"I'm glad you did," she admitted.
"So we are together still?"
"Do you still love me?" Cori countered. Spike looked at her in surprise. She really had to ask?
"Of course I still love you. Even if your mother's competely out of her mind," he told her. She took a moment to study him. She'd discovered early on that when he lied he would tense up. It wasn't noticable if you didn't know about it, and very few living people knew it.
"I love you too," she wrapped her arms around his neck when she'd decided he hadn't lied. "And yes, we are still together," she added, rolling her eyes at his expression.
"Good," he kissed her. She grinned and looked back to Dani.
"I don't think she'll mind if we leave, do you?" she asked him.
"Dani? I doubt it," he wrapped an arm around her waist. Cori waved to Dani, who waved back, before leading Spike outside. "So, all the demons are resting inside..." he said suggestively. Cori chuckled.
"What did you have in mind?"
"Well, I know that my old crypt's still empty." He led her to the cemetary.
Sorry, this chappie was written while doing homework, so if it's not too good...anyway, please review and make me feel fuzzy!
