"Here, I'll show you the guys," Dani led Justin to a lunch table filled with guys. "Hey, boys," she grinned, nodding slightly to them.
"Hey Dani," one boy smiled.
"Hmm, 'if I say your body's hot, will you hold it against me'," she read his shirt aloud. "Since when have you had to ask, Caleb?" she smirked. Caleb snickered.
"New friend, Dani?" Jack nodded to Justin.
"Yep," she nodded. "This is Justin Finn. Justin, this Caleb, Jack, Mark, and Fred," she introduced them. "Have fun," she added, walking off to her normal table, with the other girls.
"So, you two dating?" Justin asked Caleb, sitting down.
"What? Oh, nah, we used to," Caleb shrugged. "Wouldn't mind getting back with her though, especially if it was at night," he smirked.
"What about Cori?"
"We're not sure," Mark shrugged. "She said she had a boyfriend once, but no one ever saw him."
"Mom, are you trying to cook?" Cori asked, eyeing the boiling pots in the kitchen. Buffy rarely cooked, but when she did, the result was definetley not tasty.
"You say that like it's bad," Buffy smiled.
"It is," Cori assured her mom. "Why are you cooking anyway?"
"An old friend of mine is in town, and he's coming over to dinner. With his son," Buffy added, giving her daughter a glance.
"Mom," Cori said warningly. Suddenly the doorbell rang, interrupting her.
"Coming," Buffy called, heading quickly towards the door. Cori grumbled and followed her mother. "Hi, Riley," the blonde greeted her ex-boyfriend. "And he's Justin, right?" she glanced at his son, who looked almost exactly like his father.
"Hello Ms. Summers," the younger boy smiled politely.
"Justin?" Cori was defintely surprised. "You're-" she turned to her mom. "You know everybody, don't you?"
"I guess so," Buffy smiled apologetically. "So," she turned back to Riley. "Where's Sam?" (A/N: that was her name, right?)
"Um, she died, about ten years ago," Riley answered softly. "Renegade demon."
"Oh, I'm sorry," Buffy stuttered.
"No, it's ok," Riley stepped inside. "As a matter of fact, we're here on business. Remember Spike?"
"Do I ever," Buffy snuck a Look at Cori, who just rolled her eyes. "What's up with him now?"
"About last week his chip burned out." Buffy's mouth fell open in surprise. She shot another look at Cori, who feigned a look of shock. "Am I missing something?" Riley noticed the girls' expressions.
"Nothing, just," Buffy turned to her daughter. "that means we have to stake him."
"Not necessarily," Cori countered. "What if he hasn't killed anyone yet?"
"Do you know Spike?" Justin asked.
"What does that have to do with anything?" Cori ignored the question. "Anyway, I have to go patrol. Bye." She headed out the door. She glanced back as she heard someone follow her.
"Mind having company?" Justin asked.
"Nah," she shook her head. "Knock yourself out."
"Thanks," he smiled. "That's kinda weird, our parents knowing each other and all."
"I'm kinda used to it by now," she muttered. The rest of the walk was spent in silence. "Hey, how about you go that way, I'll go this way," she said, spotting Spike watching them from between two trees. She shook her head, telling him to stay put. He nodded and remained out of Justin's view. "That way we cover more ground," she added, by way of explanation. Justin nodded and started off towards the opposite side of the cemetary. As soon as he was out of sight she headed towards the vampire.
"Hey luv," he smirked, pulling her into a kiss.
"Hey Big Bad," she replied, wrapping her arms around his neck. "They know about the chip."
"Damn," he slid an arm around her waist. "So, who's your friend?"
"Who, Justin?" she rolled her eyes. "One of mom's ex's sons."
"Oh," he kissed her again. "In that case, I don't care." She snickered, when they heard Justin calling her.
"Cori?"
"Bye luv," Spike gave her another kiss before disappearing.
"Cori?" Justin finally reached her. "You find any vampires?"
"Just one," she answered.
"You stake'em?"
"No, but I'll come back later and make sure somebody gets staked," she grinned when she realized Justin didn't get the double meaning in her words.
"All right," he smiled. "We heading back to your place?"
"I guess so," she shrugged.
