The day I own Twilight and Buffy will be the day that Zac Efron knocks on my door and asks me on a date. Basically, that day will never come. Ever.
Oh and also, this is not the Jasmine from Angel. I don't know who she is, but the real Jassie told me the other day. So I thought I'd throw that in, for all you Buffy buffs. Ok, go back to reading now. C'mon, shoo! Go on! Oh and please review. It would make my day. :)
Previously on Meet the Masens: "Sun plus vampire equals NOT GOOD." Spike widened his eyes. "Aah…crud!"
Spike ran over and hid in the shade of a giant tree, growing on the side of the road. "Jac! Jac! Oi, you bloody idiot, get over here or you'll be toast!" "What?" Jasmine looked confused. "But… why?" "You'll get killed. By the sun." Spike raised his eyebrows, expectation painted on his face. He expected Jasmine to know about the sun (she'd been a vampire almost as long as he had.). He also expected Jasmine to realise and run over to the tree. Jasmine did realise something. But Spike certainly didn't expect it… "I'm not a vampire, you douche!" "Huh…?" Xander, Willow, Giles and Spike looked at Jasmine. "I drank vampire blood. I have some vampire qualities, but I have to eat, sleep, and sunlight doesn't hurt me. Oh, and I get hurt. Easily. But I have super strength, super speed, super fast healing…the works." Spikes jaw dropped. Xander narrowed his eyes. Willow's tongue poked out, an afterthought of her confusion. And Giles? Welll, he looked as though he had been slapped. "But… NO! That's never been heard of. I've never read that in a book or anything…" he trailed off, giving up. "Well, Giles, I'm no book." Jasmine grinned. "So, who are you?" Spike swung around (again). Xander looked over his shoulder. Willow bit her lip and stared. Giles didn't seem to care. He was still wondering about this strange case of 'vampirism'. "I could ask you the same question."
Jasmine continued to grin at the short blonde girl in front of her. Jasmine guessed that this was Buffy, that slayer that everyone went on about. She wasn't that great. In fact, Jasmine thought that she could whip Buffy's arse any day. But she knew that Buffy was Spike's friend, so she was polite. Or at least, her version of polite.
Buffy hated this girl. She was pretty, had blue eyes and blonde hair. Plus, Buffy noticed, she had Spike's full attention. Buffy didn't like Spike. At least, not in that way. But to think that Spike liked this girl… well, it was annoying to say the least. But Buffy had Jacob now, the cute werewolf. Sure there were minor complications, like Johanna, his girlfriend that he absolutely adored. But, Buffy thought, these were only minor complications. By the end of this week, Buffy would have Jacob Black. Even if she had to go through Johanna to get him.
Spike, hidden in the tree, hoped that the girls would get along. He hoped that Jasmine had grown out of her witty one-liners, and that Buffy wouldn't be bitchy to Jasmine. Spike also hoped that, one day, he could go for a picnic in the English countryside whilst the sun was out. Moral of the story? Spike's hopes are made to be crushed.
"So. Are you going to answer my question, blood-sucker?" "That depends, slayer." "Depends on what?" "Depends on whether I like you or not." "And…" Everyone was parted on either side of the girls, like an old Western movie. Jasmine almost laughed. She could hear the music now… dodododododoooo dododooo… "I don't think you want me to answer that question, luv. It might hurt your fellings." "I don't care, leech. In case you didn't know, I'm not easily wounded." "I don't like your guts. You are a complete and utter scumbag, and your plan sucks trouser-snakes." "My… Did you just say my plan?" "Oui." Jasmine smiled. "I know everything, Miss I-wish-I-was-dating-Jacob-Black!" "WHAT DID YOU SAY??"

"Bellaaaa!" "What now Alice? Wait… you're not Alice…you must be Johanna!" "You can call me Jo." replied Johanna. By that time all of the Cullens and Masens were there. "Hahaha… you're really short!" Johanna punched Emmett. "Maybe you're just a giant!" Jo poked her tongue out. "Umm… so where's Jake?" Bella asked quietly. She hoped that Edward wouldn't think she was still in love with Jacob. Part of her loved him, but she wasn't in love with him. She was in love with Edward. "He's getting our stuff out of the truck… I sort of forgot to ask… Carlisle, could we sleep over?" Carlisle smiled. "Of course, Johanna." "Please. Call me Jo." Lucy coughed. Repeatedly. "Are you okay, Lucy?" Esme asked, concerned. "Umm… well, no. I'm wondering where I'm going to sleep, if Jo sleeps over." The room was filled with silence. A very awkward one, might I add. "Well, Lucy, I don't sleep. So, I guess I'm just staying over, but not sleeping over." "But… you and Jacob will want to have…" Lucy trailed off. Emmett snorted. Edward's eyes grew very, very large. Bella bit her lip. "Talking about me already, huh?" Jacob grinned. "JAKE! Oh my God ,it's been so long, and I was all like, oh my God I wonder how Jake is…" "Bells, slow down. I can't understand a word you are saying." Bella would have blushed. But she couldn't...luckily. So she ran over and hugged Jacob instead. "Hey Jake, how is it going between you and Johanna?" "Great. Really great."
Jacob looked over at Jo. Jo looked over at Jacob. The moment was so intense, that everyone else just stood there, wondering when Jacob and Jo would give up this 'staring contest'. Bella noticed that Jacob was still holding on to her hand. She also noticed the look in Jacob's eyes as he stared at Jo. It was extremely familiar… as if she had seen it before on someone else. She had this feeling that was the same as what she guessed Rosalie would have felt when Edward was with Bella. Not jealousy. More like, over-protectiveness. She didn't want Jacob to get hurt. "Jacob, can we talk in the kitchen?" Bella interrupted Jacob and Johanna. "Yeah. Okay." Jacob continued to stare intensely at Johanna. "Umm… now?" "Oh right." Jacob broke eye contact with Jo. He followed Bella into the kitchen, taking a peek at Jo every five minutes. "She's really great, isn't she?" "Jake, I'm… I'm worried about you. Are you sure about her? I mean, I like her," Bella added after seeing Jacob's expression. "it's just… I don't want you to get hurt." Jacob smiled at Bella. "Bella, Bella, Bella. I can take care of myself you know. Plus, I've been meaning to tell you, I-" "Dinner!" Esme sung out. "Great. Let's eat!"
In the end, Lucy, Ryan, Dean and Jacob had a cooked steak with gravy. Everyone else just ate raw deer. The room was filled with chatter and the occasional 'pass the gravy'. That is, until Jacob yelled out, "TOAST!" holding up his glass of Coke. Everyone else just held up pretend cups. Emmett held up a pretend bottle. "To the lovely Johanna." "Hear hear!" Emmett yelled. Everyone shushed him. "my girlfriend, my love, my imprintee-" Jacob stopped talking and placed his hand over his mouth. "Oops." "Imprintee?" Bella whispered. "You imprinted. And you didn't tell me." Bella narrowed her eyes. "YOU DIDN'T TELL ME?" Bella screeched. "Everyone run! She's gonna blow!" Emmett yelled. Everyone stood up and walked out, each muttering a different excuse. Bella and Jacob were left alone.
"Bella I was going to tell you but-" "BUT WHAT? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME, YOU… YOU… YOU ASSHOLE!" "Bella, take a breath, and please stop yelling, you're giving me a headache." "NO. IF I WANT TO YELL, BY HELL I WILL!" Bella snarled. Jacob sighed. "Isabella Marie Cullen." Hearing her full name, Bella was quiet. "Please. Let me explain. I can't help imprinting, okay? You know that. And… well, I didn't tell you because I thought you were in love with me. I mean, I love you but…" "Jake…" Bella laughed. "I'm not in love with you, I just… I love you like a brother, okay? And I'm really happy for you. Just tell me. What ever happens, next time I want to be the first to know." Jacob nodded. They hugged. "Alright everyone, it's clear! You can come out now!" Claire yelled from the doorway. Everyone shuffled back in, chattering quietly. "Guys, I'd like to do another toast…" "NO! Those toasts of yours bring bad luck-" Jasper placed his hand over Emmett's mouth, and nodded. "Continue, Jake." Jasper smiled. "Thanks. Well, anyway, as I was saying before, here's to Johanna, my love, my imprintee, et cetera. And I'd also like to say, Bella, I'm so sorry I didn't tell you. But, I guess since we're confessing everything tonight-" "Uh-oh" Jacob glared at Cassie. "Sorry." She said. "Since we're confessing everything tonight, I'd like to say something… I…" There was a knock at the door.
"Hold on Jacob," Carlisle stood up to answer the door, leaving everyone else in the dining room. "Oi. Err… we are some err… lost vampires. Yeah, that's it." Bella could hear an English accent from the front door. "Umm… well… yeah. We're lost. We were trying to get to New York, but we, erm, ended up here…" an English girl spoke. "Umm… okay… come on in, we were just having dinner." Bella heard two sets of footsteps. Then, she heard the door to the dining room creak open. Lastly, as she turned around, she saw two blondes. Well, the man had white hair, the girl had caramel-blonde hair. "Hullo. I'm Jasmine." The girl waved. "And I'm Spike." The man nodded. "Wait." Johanna squinted one eye. "Don't I know you?" "Oh shit."
