I am soo never drinking beet again! It's been a week already and I can still taste the beer in my mouth. The nasty beer taste isn't even the worst part. From what I heard, Faith got a great first impression of me. We haven't really talked about it but whenever she catches me glancing at her during class, she makes a stupid cavemanish monkey face. It's cute though…I mean funny. Strictly funny. Possibly with a side of cute. O great! I had my mind soo much on Faith that I spilled my mocha frapacinno all over my white shirt. Damn. That's when I glance around and notice Willow on the other side of the street. She seems sulky. I wanna scream her name but then I'd look crazy with the big brown stain on my shirt and me screaming a tree name. She hasn't taken her eyes off of the pavement. Even though she's crossing the street now. And there's a car speeding towards her. "Willow!"

I only manage to spit her name out before…someone just pushes her out of the way and the car smashes into them. I drop my coffee and run to Willow. She just has this blank expression on her face. Then it turns into horror as she sees who took a hit from the car for her. Oh my god. It's Faith. As I start to get up to run over to Faith she starts to cough and push herself up. She sits up and rests herself on her elbows and looks around.

"Fuck! Not again."

This has happened before!

So I pushed Willow out of the way and the fucker in the car doesn't even bother to slow down. So it goes black for a couple of moments but I can still hear everything around me. The screams, the "Oh my god's". So I lay down to take a breather. Ok time to get up Faith. So I cough, take a deep breath and slowly rest myself up on my elbows. I open my eyes and exhale heavily. I look around and see lots of people. Then I look down at my pants. Every time I get hit my a car, I'm somehow wearing my favorite pants and they always get a nasty hole in them.

"Fuck! Not again."

So I get up slowly incase I broke some bones and when I notice that I'm ok, I brush myself off and look directly at the fucker that hit me. He's just staring at me with horror. I rip the door off the hinges. After the 4th time you get hit, you get a little less patient with people who speed. So I ripped the door right off of the hinges then reach in and grab the guy by his collar.

BPOV

How is she walking away from that? Even more, how did she manage to rip a car door form its hinges and not break a sweat? So she's holding him against the car by his collar and just starts yelling at him. Well more of a motherly "why didn't you" yelling.

"What the hell is wrong with you man! You don't just honk your horn when your about to hit somebody, you stop!"

They guy starts to stammer

"Don't try to apologize to me. I think you owe her an apology."

She points to Willow

"She's the one you nearly killed!"

What? You're the one with the nice gash above your eyebrow, on your collarbone; hell don't even let me forget about broken bones and internal bleeding! So then she's walking over to me and Willow. She holds the guy up from the back of his shirt.

"Well?"

The guy stammers his apology to Willow

"Good."

She throws him back towards his car.

"Don't forget your door jackass!"

The guy speeds off and Faith turns to Willow and offers her a hand. She looks from me to Willow.

"Is anybody else hungry?"

FPOV

"Is anybody else hungry?"

They both have their eyes and mouths wide open. Buffy's is the shocked look you'd expect somebody to give you after seeing something like that. Willow's look is more of a 'uh oh Buffy's gonna find out' look. So then I look at Buffy.

"Or we could go back to your dorm and get me all patched up"

Buffy closes her mouth

"Yea…ok…Come on."

She starts to walk towards the dorm. Willow grabs my waist to help support me.

"Oz left"

She whispers it quietly enough for Buffy's slayer hearing to not butt in.

"I'm sorry, do you want me to get you some ice cream?"

She does her quiet little giggle

"sure why not"

BPOV

When we get back to our dorm, Willow went to the bathroom while I started to path up Faith. We're sitting where I cleaned out her cuts before. So Faith's sitting on the edge of my bed and I'm in a chair. She has her legs open so I can get in closer to patch up her eyebrow. So while I'm using alcohol to clean it out she starts to talk

"You got coffee on your shirt." I don't care how stupid that comment was because I shivered. She's looking at something if she's looking at that stain because its on my left breast. Her warm breath caressed my neck

"Thank you captain obvious."

She lets out a breathy laugh.

Shivers damn my incredible humor cause there goes the warm breath on my neck again. I put the butterfly bandage on her eyebrow. I clean out the cut on her collarbone next. How can somebody get hit by a car going that fast and not have a broken collarbone? I start to put the gauze and alcohol away when I look down. There's a blood stain on the stomach of her shirt.

"Oh god Faith your stomach. Its bleeding."

She looks down, lifts her shirt up then lets out a short laugh

"Well I guess it's my turn to thank you captain obvious"

I love her cocky attitude but I'm too worried to let it trick me this time.

"Faith lift the shirt up we need to clean that one out or else it'll get all nasty and ick"

She sighs, stands up and lifts her shirt up to the reveal her toned stomach. I try not to drool too much. I look at the actually wound now and notice that it looks like its healing already. So I touch around the wound gentle enough not to hurt Faith. She inhales a breath but its not an inhale of pain. Did…did she like that? I ignore it and start to clean it out. When I'm finished with that I sit back in my chair and she sits back down on the edge of the bed. Its gets quiet and for some reason I look at her and she looks at me and we don't loose eye contact. My breath starts to quicken. Ok Buffy say something. Anything. Like how was our day aside from getting hit by a car or what are you doing tonight. Yeah that's a good one.

"So Faith, What are you doing for thanksgiving?"

Bad Buffy! Wrong words Buffy! Oh but now I'm a curious Buffy. Answer Faith answer.

"I guess nothing…my families back in Boston and it wouldn't be very pleasant anyway. So I guess I'm stuck in beautiful Sunnydale, California. Dam my luck.

We both laugh.

"Well I was thinking that you might like to come have thanksgiving with me and everybody."

She looks up and rubs her chin like she's thinking really hard.

"Will you be cooking?"

I nod.

"Ahh I dunno B."

B? That's new. Ok pout Buffy. Nobody resists Buffy pout.

"Oh come on you know I'm just messin with you. Of course I will."

FPOV

So last week I soo almost blew my cover. I mean who can just jump up and lift a grown man up by his collar right after getting hit by a car? But hey! I got an invite from B to have thanksgiving with her and everyone else. So after my invite Buffy had to go for classes. I decided to stay back with Willow. WE talked for hours until I had to patrol. I hope she's doing better. God Oz is such a prick! We were taking ice cream shots for every time Willow said she missed him and for every time I called him an inappropriate name like bastard prick dick and lots of other 'foul words'. I will get Willow out of her shell this year. I swear. She will do something nobody expects and she will say "thank you faith." God all that ice cream got me sick. To go along with my stomachache, my buddy Angel told me that some troubles going down in Sunny D. Something about Indians. Well he's stayin with me at my dorm until he makes sure that B's safe. Well he just left to do, god knows what. So now I gotta call Buffy and tell her that I can't come to thanksgiving dinner. Great. I dial the numbers slowly cause I still don't know what to say. It rings twice then she picks up.

"Hello"

"B? Hey, its Faith."

"Oh hey! I'm just finishing desert for tonight."

"Yeah about that…"

"Oo what kind of side whip cream should I use? I have…"

"B…..I can't come"

"What? Oh….ok um…."

She sounds so sad now.

"Buffy I'm sorry its just that come things come up and I'd really love to see you but…. I'm sorry.

"Yeah…I understand but I'm busy over here I'll just see you…. some other time."

She hangs up

"Fuck"

I bury my head in my hands.

"You really like her don't you?"

I see Angel in the doorway.

"I have no clue what your talking about Fang."

I throw a pillow at him. And to think I almost killed this guy. Heh.

"Suns about to se in about half an hour. You ready to protect Buffy and the kids?"

He throws the pillow back at me

"That's what I was chosen to do."

BPOV

Great. Now I'm all Ms. Sourface cause Faith can't come. Everythings going wrong. This Indian guy is killing everybody. Giles and Willow are fighting, Xanders got syphilis and other wacky diseases. My thanksgiving is ruined. So Will Anya and Xander just let to go check on some powerful official because that's who we think the Indian guy is going for next. Its just me and Giles. Crap something just got knocked over. Wait, there's an arrow in it. That's when I look up and notive the Indian guy and his gang surrouding us. I grab Giles and we take cover on the ground while we try to dodge all the arrows. Uh oh I left spike up there….o well maybe he'll quit his bitchin.

FPOV

So when I get there you can see Xander, Wil and Anya fighting off the Indian guys.

"Angel go help them! I'm gonna see if I can help Buffy!"

Angel runs and helps them out and I punch and throw one of the guys who's in the door way. I'm trying not to attract attention because I still don't want B to know that I'm a slayer. I grab the plates off of the table and start throwing them at the guys in the windows with the crossbows and arrows. Buffy's too into her fight to notice. When I run out of plates I look behind me and notice another Indian aiming his bow at B. He lets go and right before it hits her in the back I jump in front and try to grab it. Remind me never to do that again cuzz now I got a fucking arrow stuck in my hand! That's when I notice Xander, Anya, Will and Angel looking in. They're just standing there?

"Buffy their own weapons can kill them!"

Xander you asshole she could see me! Angel and me exchanged a panicked glance and jet out of there.

BPOV

Who would've thought that that Indian guy would turn into a giant bear! Ok so Xanders info about how to kill them was very helpful indeed. So now everybody's sitting around the table enjoying talk of tonight's events. Yay my thanksgiving is perfect! I listen in when Willow's just finishing what she was saying.

"Yeah Buffy was amazing handling that bear! You should be a park ranger."

I smile. Heh. Ranger Buffy at your service.

"Yeah and good thing Faith caught that arrow before it hit you in the back Buff. It's a good thing she's a slayer too and who woulda thought her and Angel where friends!

…what. Everybody's eyes go wide. Xander drops his fork.

"oops."
