A day out

The next morning Buffy woke up to the scent of bacon, her stomach growled, she was tired but her hunger and curiosity got her up. She stumbled out of her room to find Anakin in his pajamas hovering over the stove, tending three skillets of delicious looking eggs, bacon, and pancakes.

"And he cooks." She mumbled sleepily.

Anakin turned around to see a Buffy staring at him, impressed. He smiled. "It's the least I can do for you letting me stay here.

"Actually, I'm starting to think this whole letting you stay here was the best idea I ever had," Buffy said as she sat down at the kitchen counter.

"Yeah, you're just saying that because you're hungry," Anakin smiled.

"Mmm. True" Buffy looked him. Anakin turned back around to the stove.

Just then Willow, Tara and Giles walked in and seemed as surprised as Buffy to find the breakfast on the table waiting impatiently for someone to eat it.

They watched Anakin before huger got the better of them as they drive to the food.

"Hey, what's that smell? It smells great! I knew I married you for a reason Lily!" James exclaimed while looking at the French-toast, eggs, sausage, biscuits, and pancakes when he entered the kitchen with

"Well, I was thinking, after all the shopping yesterday, how about we have some fun. How about a movie?" Buffy asked.

Anakin turned around. "what a movie?

"What?" You never seen or been to a movie? Buffy flew up her hands as if it was the end of the world.

"What?" Anakin questioned her stare.

"You're telling me that you've never been or heard of a movie theatre before? Where did you grow up? On an inhabited island?"

Anakin paused for moment, but shakes her head, nope".

Buffy spoke first,. "Well, that settles it. We are going to the movies tonight and I will introduce you to the extremely overpriced world of the movie theatre, and popcorn, cant forget popcorn"

He gave a smile. "Sounds good."

The night had been fun. They had been given a ride form Xander to a local movie theatre and picked out a movie to see.

It was a nice change from being stuck in the house.

During the movie, Anakin looked over at Buffy as she laughed. Her blonde hair fell over her face softly. She turned to him and met his stare with curiosity, then with an equal intensity.

Now he lay on the bed later that night and stared at the ceiling.

A movement startled him, drawing his eyes away from the blankness of the ceiling. Buffy was up, apparently getting something to drink in the kitchen.

So he lay there with his thoughts on a blond headed girl.

The next night Anakin went with Buffy to patrolling, they started out at Sunnydale Cemetery, and then hit Spike's… Restfield Cemetery. Nothing more than a handful of dirty behind the ears newly risen fledglings. Buffy was bored by the time they ended up at Shady Hill.

She just fought a newly risen vamp, he got a couple good punches to her face but nothing ultra damaging. Now she was doing one more sweep over its perimeter before heading home. Buffy paused when she heard some bushes rustling.

She pulled Anakin new jacket to let him know to be silent and alert, he didn't have the help of the force. Her fingers held the stake tighter as she quietly stepped to the corner of the tomb, she was than knocked over by a vampire.

He turned to dust, Buffy looked up to see who it was.

"Oh, Slayer. Didn't see ya there," Spike stated. "It was real nice of you to block the vamps landing, Oh, and we got Anna here to".

Buffy sneered at his remark and pushed herself off the grass. "What the hell are you doing here Spike?"

"Not that it's any of your business but I happen to live here."

"Why're you here? Patrolling." Buffy said

"I wasn't patrolling'. The vamp was in between the pathway to my crypt and where I was comin' from," Spike defended.

Buffy was so caught up in the agreements that she hadn't heard the approach of a pair of Ognir demons until Anakin tapped her on her shoulder.

She heard Anakin pull in a sharp gasp as two more rounded the corner, they weren't exceptionally tall – about five feet or so – but they each weighed four to five hundred pounds. Their skin was as tough as an elephant's hide, and exceptionally hard to pierce with anything but the sharpest honed blades. She knew they were slow moving, and wasn't overly worried about fighting off them, but when she saw Anakin look around at the other two, things had gone from bad to worse, even with Spike there they wouldn't be able to handle them all.

Still, giving up wasn't an option. Her number one rule was "Don't die, and keep an eye on Anakin" If given a choice, she would have hightailed it out of there, gathering her forces to return to the fight with better odds, but she didn't think Anakin would have been able to catch up with her and she couldn't leave him. Plus it was too late to do anything, as it was, she, Spike and Anakin was surrounded by an Ognir version of Stonehenge. Buffy suddenly pushed Anakin to the side and dived as she fell through the air and caught on to a lower branch with her hands and pulled herself up, just as two Ognir bolted towards her, Anakin and Spike jumped up beside her and both reached within their jacket for a stake but stopped when Buffy whispered into their ear,

"Don't bother fighting, only fight if you have to" she said quickly. "Let's just get out of here, we are clearly out numbered.

Even Spike could see that, leaving was not his style.

They turned to run only to run into four vampires that come out of no where, one grabbed Buffy foot and Threw her, she got quickly into fighting stance and circled her opponent it was the vamp who struck first. It was faster than the eye could see, Spike was off fighting two at the time.

The vamp lifted his fist and the punch aimed directly at Buffy's middle. However, the vamp didn't even see Buffy move, she was so quick. One moment she was in front of, the vamp the next she had somehow twisted around his back and had grasped the undead man's shoulder with both hands. Then, in an overhead swing which looked impossible for a person of Buffy size, she threw the vamp over on to the ground, face first. Then she did a backward hand-flip away and resumed position, stalking the vamp at it struggled to get up.

Anakin staked the fourth one about the some time Spike did the other two, the Ognir was to busy trying to get Buffy, a a Ognir come towards Anakin, but Spike grabbed it neck and snapped it.

Anakin gave Spike a thankful smile only to get a glare in return.

Buffy tried rushing the space between two of the demons but they held rank, keeping her trapped in their circle that they formed. Reaching behind her, she pulled a sword from the scabbard she wore snugly between her shoulder blades, and swung it wildly, as Anakin and Spike joined her in their attempt to kill as many demons as they could.

Once they finished killing off the last of the vamps and demons Buffy and Anakin quickly made their way out of the cemetery, Spike departed because the sun was coming up.

Then Anakin grabbed her jacket and pulled her behind a tree to avoid running into a couple of demons.

Buffy peeked from behind her tree to see a group of vamps and Ognir talking quickly, Buffy strained her head as far as she dared, knowing perfectly well that Anakin and she were too tired and weak to fight any more, she couldn't hear anything, but what ever it was, she could tell it was not good.

"That not good, never is" Buffy muttered under her breath while Anakin just looked at her, why is that weird, evil tends to work together, don't they?" Anakin interrupted, clearly confused.

"Yeah but, most demons view vamps as a lower form, because of the whole needing a human body thing." Buffy replied.

"What do you mean?" Anakin asked.

"I wish Giles was here to explained, you see to make a vampire another one has to bite you then you have to bite it, it's a whole gross blood sharing thing, anyway after you die a demon comes and takes over your body. You have all your memories and everything but, the demon basically takes over." Buffy finished, huffing slightly from her long speech .

"Ok, so why are the demons working with them now?" Anakin asked, that's what I am worried about" Buffy said in dread.

The night was drawing to an end, as was Buffy's patrolling and her company's. A sign of light singled morning and she was safe. She was the slayer for another day, but that news from the cemetery had clearly shaken her up.

Buffy and Anakin had come across Buffy's tombstone and she had to explain how her friends brought her back to life, Anakin sat in shock listening to all this.

She spun around when her senses went crazy, as someone hit her across the face, sending her into darkness, but mange to catch a glimpse of a familiar face, Parker?
