The lights that move sideways and up and down
The beat takes you over and spins you round
Our hearts steady-beating, the sweat turns to cold
We're slaves to the DJ and out of control
"Nope, no, absolutely not." I would not wear that. There was no way. They know that is something I would never wear, so why would they even suggest it. I took a peek at Willow whose face was pale, and she looked incredibly scandalized. I looked back down at the costumes that were spread out on Faith's bed and shook my head to the negative again.
"Y-y-you w-w-want me to wear THAT?" Willow finally managed to get out. Cordelia and Faith just had these really calm duh expressions on their faces.
"Well yeah, I mean they aren't that bad. Definitely less skanky than some of the things the other girls are going to be wearing. It's not going to like kill you to wear these. Plus I mean Faith and I bought them and picked them out and they're themed so if you guys don't wear it than Faith and I will look stupid… We need you guys… plus you'll look hot." Cor explained.
"When you said you picked out costumes I thought you actually meant costumes, not whatever scraps of clothe these are. I mean do they even cover everything?" There was no way I'd be comfortable in that.
"Okay B, just try it on okay, you'll see it how good… how classy… it looks on you and then you can really tell me you don't want to wear it, don't knock it till you try it. And come on it's only two hours till the party; you don't have time to find another costume."
"Yeah and whose fault is that Faith, you didn't let us see them until now!" I tried to complain, tried to get out of it, but Faith, she doesn't listen. She gave me a stern, don't-you-dare-argue-with-me, look and pushed me and the costumes… clothe… whatever into her walk-in closet.
"Uhg… guys did you even get the right size 'cuz this doesn't even cover my ass. Oh no wait it's probably supposed to be that way." I say as I exit her closet into the main room so I can get a look at how slutty I look in the mirror. What I see when I finally glance up is the awed expressions on my friends face.
"OMG B! You are such a hottie come here and look at yourself." Faith said pushing me in front of the mirror. And she was right… I did look good. I was still uncomfortable, but I looked good. The short Alice in Wonderland costume consisted of a tiny blue dress that ended at the top of my thighs and poofed out a bit and thigh high stockings. It was cute and somewhat tasteful in that take-me-home-and-do-bad-things-to-me way, which was not what I wanted.
"See Buffy you have to wear it, cuz without and Alice we don't make sense. I mean I'm the White Rabbit, Faith is the Queen of Hearts and Wills will be the Mad Hatter. We make sense that way we need you." Cordy pleaded. I looked at will again who was looking at me eyes filled with wonder, she finally looked up at me and said "You look really, really good Buffy." I smiled and took the compliment. I finally nodded and they took that as my okay. Cordelia squealed loudly, Faith clapped her hands, and Willow looked kind of nauseous, probably realizing that this would mean she'd have to wear the costume they bought for her.
"Okay people we have 2… 1 hour and 53 minutes to get ready, so let's get to it."
"Wait! Uhm Faith how do I where a bra with this?"
"You don't"
So about 2 hours and 53 minutes later. We were done. Make up on, costumes on and waiting for Xander to get over here so we could leave. Cordelia insisted on doing my make-up, making my eyes look dark and smoky. All in all I didn't look like myself anymore, and this was something I wouldn't be caught dead in. Willow looked just as uncomfortable, if not more, than I did even though her costume covered more than any of ours did. Faith did her make-up, so the result was similar to mine.
Xander finally got there and knocked on the door. When Faith opened it, it took Xander a couple minutes to stop staring and actually enter the house.
"Wow, I… wow, you guys look…. Wow… uhm.. wow." Xander finally said when he found his voice.
"Thanks Xan so what are you supposed to be anyway." Faith asked.
"I thought I was obvious, I'm Hugh Hefner."
"Isn't he like some old guy with lots of ho's?" Willow asked innocently.
"Yeah Xander where's your band of merry skanks?" Cordelia mocked, never missing an opportunity to take a jab at Xander.
Xander made this grand gesture in our directions and said, "Who needs hos when I have you guys."
All 4 of us smacked him.
XoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXo
With her high heel against the wall
Kind of dancing, though not at all
She had stockings running up to her thighs
Snaps her fingers to keep the time
I could feel the ground vibrate in time with the loud music coming from Spikes house. It was 11 o'clock when we got there, and I could tell that the party was just starting to pick up. The 5 of us walked up to the front door, Xander looking a little smug cause "he was with the 4 most beautiful girls at the party." Willow looked uncomfortable and I'm sure I did as well. Cordy and Faith on the other hand, looked like nothing fazed them, they were so confidant, and I was so jealous.
My nerves were getting to me more and more as we stepped through the threshold of the house. They rose about 100 more when I got a look at the inside of the party. To say I was shocked was understatement… It was the understatement of the century. I thought my party was out of control, well it looked like daycare compared to this.
There were people everywhere, the house was packed and I'm the backyard was as well. I guess Faith and Cor were right, are costumes were on the classier side when compared to bra, panties and animal ears most of the girls were wearing. Actually there where animals plus Slutty Malibu Barbie, Slutty Nurse, Slutty Army Chick, Slutty Bumblebee, Slutty Little Red Riding Hood, you name the guys fantasy and some girl was wearing it.
The costumes were the least of my worries though because as we entered the living room I caught sight of the people sitting on the couch passing a bong around. Somebody was snorting something on the coffee table, another person taking shots at the bar. There were people making out everywhere, and as we moved further into the party I saw more people doing things I could never imagine. The things you learn about in health class, watch people do in movies but never actually believe that happens. I guess when you're rich enough this is norm, and it scared the crap out of me.
From the back of the room I saw her there
I said she wants to be alone and I shouldn't dare
But then she noticed me glance at her
I had no choice but to dance with her
I don't think any of us knew what to do with ourselves and we just kind of found an unoccupied space and stood there making small talk. I think all the drug use and much more than necessary displays of affection were even getting to Faith and Cordelia. After about 15 minutes somebody came up and thrust red cups into our hands. I wasn't even thinking just kind of in shock and took a sip of the cool liquid that warmed my throat. It helped calm my nerves so I drank a little more, and when that was gone I found that miraculously I had another cup. I didn't question it, it made me feel so good and my nerves were starting to calm. About halfway through my second cup I hear Cordelia shriek loudly, interrupting my fascinating conversation with Faith about whether Marissa dyeing ruined the O.C or not.
I looked up to see Gunn with one arm wrapped around Cordelia's waist and the other pulling her hair from her neck as he leaned his head down into the curve of her neck. SEE! I told you we were invited cuz Gunn liked her. These people need to start listening to me.
"I've come to svuck yur vlud." He said in this horrible Transylvanian, don't think that's right, accent making Cordelia giggle in that school girl way we school girls do. Typical he was a vampire, I mean come on be original. I took another sip of beer.
"Well don't you girls look cute." Gunn said addressing the rest of us, still slightly molesting Cor, which she allowed, I mean god hunny learn to play hard to get. Not that I know anything about playing… well anything, but I doubt its that hard to say no. Everyone around me was talking but I wasn't really paying attention to them. I was zoned out, lost in my own uncomfortable bubble. Thinking about what a stupid decision this was when I felt this heat go through my body. I felt eyes boring into me, undressing me in a way that made me uneasy. I looked around me widely trying to find the source of my discomfort.
That's when I saw them, him. Standing against the fireplace a group of people around them. There stood Angelus, Darla, Spike and Drusilla. Darla and Drusilla's costumes where the typical Naughty Nurse and French Maid, extra slut; Angelus and Spike however, well they looked down right dangerous. Black leather pants that should be illegal if those boys are wearing them, and a red leather shirt for Angelus, black muscle shirt for Spike. I couldn't help but think that they would make great vampires, maybe they were in another life. I vaguely remember catching part of the conversation around me mentioning that they, along with Gunn, were Vampires.
I hear Cordelia giggle again at something Gunn whispered into her ear. And I look back at Angelus who is staring at me with such intensity it send shivers through my buddy. All of a sudden I get really flushed and decide that I need to leave this room. So I lean over to Faith and tell her I'm going to go outside, she nods her head in recognition and I leave as fast as possible.
I go outside and breath in gulps of air as quick as I can. I don't know why he made me so nervous, but with him looking at me like that I couldn't breath, couldn't think. It was nicer out here, even thought there were still lots of people, some smoking hookah, others in the pool. I vaguely wonder where my brother is since I haven't seen him. I sat down on a bench off to the side and tried to calm my thoughts. I knew this wasn't a good idea.
I don't know how long I was sitting there when somebody sat down beside me. I looked over and saw this shady grease-ball character who I think is a senior… or maybe he graduated last year.
"Hey Alice, you look a little anxious, maybe you should take a trip down the rabbit hole, calm your nerves, if you know what I mean." He says to me, and I finally remember his name is Luke and he's the resident bad boy of Sunnydale High. He's hold out his hand expectantly and I look down into his palm to see a little pink pill. I gasp slightly.
"Wa-What is it?"
"This it's just a little E princess. It'll make you feel like you've never felt before. Pink playboy, it'll take you on a trip."
"I, I uhm, I dunno." I say looking around trying to find someone to save me from making this decision. I glance inside the house through the glass doors and see Cordelia, Faith and Willow even surrounded by guys talking and flirting with them. I suddenly feel incredibly left out.
"Come on Alice, take a chance, and follow the Rabbit." His voice is sounds so soothing, so seductive. And so I do I take the pill from his hand and pop it in my mouth. He smiles at me, gets up and walks away.
The lights that move sideways and up and down
The beat takes you over and spins you round
Our hearts steady-beating, the sweat turns to cold
We're slaves to the DJ and out of control
I sit there for about 30 minutes longer and by the time Faith finally decides that it would be a good idea to look for her friend, I can feel the effects kicking in. I just feel so calm, comfortable so alive.
"Hey B, whatchya doing out here all alone?"
"Well I wasn't alone the whole time, I just became alone, well he left a little bit ago. So I am alone again. I'm lone Buffy. Hmm… that's a sad thought Buffy alone. All alone."
"B…. are you ok?"
"Yeah, 5 by 5 Faith, right?"
"Yeah… right… why don't we go back inside now." I don't respond I just hop up and start skipping back inside.
I skip all the way back to Cordelia, Willow, Gunn and Xan, Faith trailing behind me. I notice my brother and his friends are also there. I jump up and wrap my arms around Wesley's neck.
"WESLEY! You're here I was wondering where you were, I missed you. You look cute Mr. Gladiator guy." I give him a big smack on the cheek and he blushes furiously. He visibly tenses when he gets a look at my costume though.
"Buffy who the hell let you wear that?!" He growls out, and I find it oddly endearing right now that he's playing big protective brother. I point to Faith and smile has they get into an argument about how we should not be seen out in public wearing things like this, or nothing as he pointed out. I just sat there swaying to the music. No one was really dancing but I just couldn't sit still and really wanted to so I grabbed Faith's hand, cutting off the cutting remark she was going to say to Wesley.
"Come on Faith let's dance." She looks at me oddly but I just grab her hips and make her move with me. When a song, I know she absolutely loves comes on she finally gives in and starts moving with me.
I watched her feet move, her hips they sway
Does a hair flip then starts to say
Oh, my God, it's my favorite song
I pull her close and she sings along
I get really into the dancing, lose myself in the song. I can feel people watching us, we probably look kind of odd since we are the only ones dancing. But it gives me this sense of power, making them watch us. I pull Faith closer and it's like we're almost one person. I know it looks sexual, I can feel the power that comes from it. I can feel the eyes looking at us with want and desire, and it get's me all hot and bothered. Heat is flowing through my body and I just keep dancing. It's all I can do. In the periphery of my hearing I heard Wesley smack Parker on the head and tell him to stop staring at us.
That's when Cor joins us, dragging Gunn with her, and starts dancing with us. Then more and more people join us. Willow, Xan, Wes and Fred. We're surrounding by people and I just keep smiling and dancing. Faith really gets into it with me too. I knew she would, she can't stand to not be part of the attention, the fun. We float around like fairies, flittering away from hands that venture to close to us.
How long we were dancing I didn't know. But I was just so hot and the room was so humid. I was in my own little world, I was so happy so light like nothing and no one could touch me. I felt beautiful and invincible. When somebody grabbed Faith's hips and wouldn't let go I just laughed and floated away, up and out of the room, briefly noting that it was Spike now dancing with Faith.
I kept laughing as I left the room into parts unknown. If I wasn't already high I know for a fact I would not have stopped to smoke a bowl with the stoners on the couch, move on to taking shots with jocks and then wandering around alone in the house. I had been around people for most of the night, it now being close to 2 in the morning. I didn't have to worry about being home, Faith's parents were out of town, and we all pulled the "I'm staying at so and so house". I felt like being alone now so I wandered up the stairs into the empty hallway and looked for a room I could hide out in.
I wandered into a dark room, which I found to be empty after a short evaluation. I didn't bother turning the light on just went and spread my self out on the couch, listened to the music and hummed to myself. My body was on fire and I felt tingly all over, it was an amazing feeling. I started running my hands over my body unconsciously as I realized that this was how I felt when Angelus was looking at me earlier, but it was much less nerve wrecking now. I had been kissed before, had a lot of boyfriends, only a couple actually serious, I'm 16 how serious can I be right now, but it never went further than a heavy make out session or two, all above the clothes north of the equator. But I found myself wondering what it would be like to go further, what it would be like to have hands that weren't my own exploring my body. Not just any hands but Angelus' hands. I could feel and ache low in my belly now and I wanted it to go away but didn't know how.
My hands had a mind of their own and were totally disconnected from my mind as I was thinking about Angelus and humming to the music. I had just put my hand down my dress and was stroking the top of my breast; I wasn't really paying attention to anything but the feelings flowing through my body, but a loud crash in the room catches my attention. I look up and see a figure standing by the coffee table I think they had run into, probably making the noise, I notice a little bit of light floating through the crack of the door. I hadn't even realized someone had come in the room.
We can't slow down even if we tried
If the record keeps spinning so will I
She likes disco and tastes like a tear
Tells me don't stop dancing and she's pulling me near
"It's rude to sneak up on people, you should stomp or…. Actually bumping into a coffee table works too." I say out loud, not really to anyone just kind of putting it out into the universe.
"I didn't want to disturb you." My heart stops, I know that voice. That dark haunting beautiful voice, the same voice I was just imaging whispering naughty things into my ear. And here he is in all his glory.
"I'm sure you didn't, what are you doing in here, shouldn't you be downstairs at the party?"
"Shouldn't you?" He asks again and sits down on the couch, forcing me to move my feet. It annoys me I was here first, and now he's taking up my space. I decide to just spread my legs out again, they were there first if he wants to sit there than he has to just deal with it. It doesn't seem to faze him though.
"Hmm… yes but I don't wanna. I was enjoying being alone you know. So you should leave." He gives me his trademark smirk and it makes my insides swim.
"You think so, now that doesn't seem fair, I have every right to be here as you."
"I was here first so if someone has to leave, it's going to be you."
"Well why does anyone have to leave."
"Because I want to be alone."
"And that's your problem not mine."
"Asshole." I muttered under my breath. I mean he's attractive but he's totally obnoxious, every time I talk to him he pisses me off. The fact that he walked in on my feeling my self up would have mortified me, had I not been in the rabbit hole right now.
"What was that babe?" I scoffed at that.
"I am not your babe." I spit out indignantly.
He ignored my outburst though. "You seem lonely; a girl like you shouldn't be sitting in a dark room trying to get herself off." He turns to look at me and smiles at my surprised expression. "I could assist you if you want."
"You self righteous, arrogant bastard! How dare you. You think that you can just have anyone you want and they'll just fall down at your feet? Well not me. No way, no--" I didn't get to finish my sentence because I was suddenly pulled in Angelus' lap and his mouth was on mine.
It was sweet at first; he was just taking little sips from my mouth. His mouth tasted like a mix of cigarettes and alcohol. But what made me crazy was underneath that I could taste the ocean on his tongue. I couldn't get the angle I want so I moved my body so I was straddling him. The kiss became much more passionate, desperate than. He tongue pushed against my mouth begging for entrance, and I gladly allowed it. I ran my tongue against his teeth and could feel the tiny canine teeth he put on as fangs and poked my tongue on it make me giggle. He growled then and got a little more aggressive
His hands were roaming my body on the outside of my little dress. I felt deliciously hot and out of control, the fact that his erection was pressing against my intimate parts making me hotter by the second. His hands found there way to my legs, moving up slightly to rest on my upper thighs. We broke away for air and he started kissing down my neck.
He was causing dangerous feelings and I was getting wetter by the second I started grinding myself down against him. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he stood up only to lay me back down on the couch. He followed me then and we resumed our kissing. It was perfect, delectable. I couldn't imagine wanted to be anywhere else. His hands spread my thighs and one was moving closer to where I wanted it most when--
"Buffy are you up here?" I heard Willow call out, she sounded distressed, I could tell that through my lust and E induced haze. I worried me, and above all I was loyal to my friends, I pushed Angelus off of me and stood up. I started straightening my clothes as I hear Willow call for me again. I looked down at Angelus sitting on the couch with a confused and hurt look on his face, and just gave him my best apologetic look. He looks annoyed now.
"I'm coming Willow give me a minute."
We've got nowhere to go, we've got nothing to prove
Instead of dancing alone, I should be dancing with you
This song is turning me on, the beat is doing me in
Or maybe it's only you, but either way, lets begin
A/N: Hey guys sry if this isn't the best thing i've ever written, i had a little bit of time and less hw than ive had in a bit so i wanted to take advantage of it, i think its ok, just not my favorite, not sure if it flows. Hope, u like the little bit of B/A action, i was gonna make that stuff happen a little later, but i decided it would fit to start it now. Also i wanted you guys to know what i kinda wanted the costumes to be. Xander is the red hugh hefner robe deal.. google hugh and that wat xans costume is. Spike and Angel are well like they are in the show for costume wise. Gunn is like them to basic buffy vamp wear.
