Authors Notes:

So Joss Whedon is a bloody genius, he owns all this (except for K) and I worship him every day. This chapter does have some girl on girl action, so if you don't like it, don't read it, it's not very relevant to the story.

Quite the Party

The next morning came quickly, and the HQ was buzzing. Kennedy and Satsu had ended their patrol for the night, giving them the day off. Things have been incredibly lax around the world now that the Slayer army was bringing peace around the world. And with a lack of a Big Bad, everyone was able to relax for once.

"Where's Buffy?" Spike asked a circle of people which included Willow, Kennedy, Satsu, Angel.

"She's sleeping in for once," Angel answered. "She hasn't gotten some decent sleep in a long time. She deserves it."

Spike nodded. "Good." He sat down and joined the circle. "I bet you're keeping her up all night."

"Spike…" Angel started.

"Just trying to be funny here," Spike said. "I wanted to ask her something, that's all."

"Fine."

"Where's K?" Spike asked the group.

Satsu pointed to where the fireplace was. K was sitting there by herself, reading a book.

Spike began to stand up, but Willow sat him down again.

"She's not talking to any of us," she said.

"She got up before anyone else was here," Satsu said. "Kennedy and I were coming in from our shift, and she was there. We tried to say hi to her, she didn't move an inch."

"Did you try to say something to her last night?"

"What? I didn't do anything to upset her or anything," Spike said in attempt to defend himself.

"Yeah, Spike didn't do anything bad," Willow said. "She was in a really good mood before she fell asleep last night. She roomed with me."

"I might as well try," Spike said, standing up again.

He went over and sat on the floor next to K. Everyone else was watching him from afar.

"K?" Spike said.

She didn't move.

"K?" Spike said again. "Are you all right?"

She turned a page in her book.

"Answer me, K, is everything all right?"

"Huh?" she said, finally looking up from her book and at Spike. "Oh, good morning, Spike! I didn't notice you. Oh, wow, the lobby has quite a few people. Oh, no, was I supposed to be doing something? Oh, God…

"No, nothing's wrong. You were just not moving and not responding to anyone. We thought something was wrong with you."

"Nope, I'm perfectly fine!" she perked up. She set the book down and stood up.

"You're sure?" Spike asked, guiding her to where everyone else was sitting.

"Yeah. I was just really into the book I was reading. I always get lost in other worlds. Hi, everybody! Sorry for being so dumb."

"Not dumb at all, I know just how it is with books," Willow said. "Sit down, join us. We were just enjoying some good relaxing time."

"Relaxing? There's no work to be done? Where's Buffy?"

"She's resting, too. C'mon, participate in our circle. We're not evil or anything. Well, most of us anyway."

"All right, then. What were we talking about?"

"We weren't really talking about anything," Kennedy said.

"Oh," K said. "I see."

"We're just all glad that there's no major work to be done right now," Willow commented. "Oh, here come Xander and Dawn! Thank goodness."

"Hey, peeps, how's it hangin'?" Xander asked as he and Dawn sat in between K and Spike. "What're we doing in a circle?"

"Absolutely nothing," Angel commented.

"This is what we do when we've got no work?" Xander asked. "C'mon, let's do something exciting!"

"Like what?" Satsu asked.

"I dunno. A drinking game or something."

"A drinking game? Must I remind you that it's the middle of the day?"

"And that some of us are under 21," K said quietly. She felt embarrassed for not being able to participate.

"No one is going to know," Xander told her. "And fine, if you guys just want to sit around. Dawn and I can play the drinking game up in my room."

"Wait," Spike said, standing up. "I'll come. There's something I need to ask you about anyway. We'll leave the rest of them here."

Xander shrugged, but allowed Spike to come up to his room.

"What's the deal?" Xander asked as Dawn closed the door behind her.

"How did you and the little bit know you were in love?" Spike asked him.

"We kissed," Dawn answered. "And the rest just fell into place."

"What do you think about K?" Spike asked.

"The new Slayer?" Dawn asked.

"Well, she's really… different. I've never met anyone like her," Xander said. "She seems nice, though."

"Yeah, she's a bit weird," Dawn said. "I don't really know her. But yeah, nice."

"I don't know how I feel about her," Spike said. "It's weird. It's not love. I'm in love with Buffy, I will be until the end of my life. But there's something. It almost feels like… more than love. If that's even possible."

"More than love?" Xander asked. "If you say so, Spike. If you want my advice, I say you go with this chick. I mean, Buffy's got Angel now, there's no way she's going to fall in love with you."

"She told me," Spike said quietly. "Buffy told me last night she still loves me."

"What? But she never really did love you."

"I know that. But I guess she feels guilty or something because I, y'know, died to save her and the world and stuff. I think she feels like she owes me something. And so she insists that she loves me."

"But as long as Angel's in the picture, you and her are impossible. So I say forget about Buffy and try going with someone you actually have a chance with."

"I don't want K to think she's a Buffy replacement or something like that."

"Then make it so she's not. Fall in love with her."

Spike sighed, and nodded. "I'll figure it out. Thanks anyway, though." He left the room.

Spike went back down to the lobby to see that Angel and Satsu were now talking amongst themselves (probably about Buffy), Kennedy and Willow were making out, and K had picked up her book again, silently reading to herself.

"Well, if you folks don't mind, I'm out for a walk," Spike informed them.

"Right. Out for a walk in the nice, warm, sunlight," Angel reminded him.

Spike stopped in his tracks. "Well, then. You guys are just the more exciting crowd. I can tell you, this ain't no party."

"If you want a party, start one," K said quietly into her book.

"What d'you mean? You can't just randomly start a party."

"Why not? We've got about twenty Slayers hanging around here doing nothing. We've got this gang right here doing nothing. We might as well play some music and get something started in here. If you want a party, you have to start one!" K stood up, climbed on the table, and projected her voice to the whole room. "Hey, guys! Spike and I are starting a party right here, right now! We want to play some music and have some fun! Is anyone opposed to this?"

Several shouts of, "Hell no, let's do it!" "Crank it up!" "Yeah, let's start a party!" came from the crowd of Slayers.

"Sweet!"

Satsu was already up and in the corner of the room, turned on a stereo where loud dance music proceeded to ring throughout the lobby.

K jumped off the table and proceeded to dance. She wasn't a good dancer, but boy, did she dance. For a moment, she was the only one before other people began to join her. Before long, the whole room was dancing.

Xander and Dawn came back down. "What's going on here?" they asked.

Willow went half way up the stairs to meet them. "It's a party! Come down and join us!"

"But you guys were snoozefest not too long ago," Xander mentioned.

"Yeah, but Spike and K wanted to start a party, so they just started one!"

"I want to join in," Dawn said. "Xan, I'm going to get the alcohol from our room."

Before long, the party was at a newfound height, with several people getting drunk. Willow and Xander didn't join back in, though, even if everyone looked like they were having a blast.

"Have you noticed something going on between K and Spike?" Willow asked Xander.

"Other than the fact that they are totally in love with each other?" Xander said. "Nope."

"But it's weird love. It's like it's more than love. They're almost meant to be. See? Look at them over there, right in the center of the dance floor, dancing. They're adorable."

"Yeah, they are pretty cute. It's weird, I never thought I would associate Spike with anything relating the word cute."

"I agree, but then you see him with K and all you can think is, 'D'awwwww.'"

Down on the dance floor, Spike had pulled K aside and they were sitting on the table.

"You've got me exhausted, pet," Spike said, taking a drink from a cup. "And I'm already drunk."

K laughed. "Me, too! I mean, I'm exhausted, too. And this is the first time I've had alcohol, I'm drunk for the first time in my life!"

"Y'know, you're really cute. And adorable. And beautiful. And the way you move is just sexy."

"I agree," K hiccupped. "I mean, I think you're really hot and sexy, too. It's weird, when I kissed you, it felt weird. In a good way, weird."

"K, I feel weird with you, too."

"It's like…"

"More than love," they said together.

"Destiny."

"Meant to be."

"More than lovers"

"You and me."

"Finishing our sentences…"

"It's like fuckin' poetry!"

K fell onto the ground laughing. "Oh, God, I'm so glad I got that out of my system. I had no idea how I was going to tell you how I felt."

Spike followed her onto the floor. "Me, too. I was so nervous."

The two of them rolled under the table where K fit perfectly into Spike's arms.

"It's more than love," she said again.

"It's beautiful. It's real. It's…"

"It's just us."

The two of them stayed there for a while, the loud music thumping in their heads, yet perfectly peaceful. K almost fell asleep before she spoke. "Hey, Spike?"

"What is it, Pet?"

"I don't really like being drunk. I feel like I'm going to be sick."

"Well, don't do that. Here." He lifted her in his arms, and began going upstairs.

Xander and Willow looked puzzled.

"I'm takin' this one to bed," Spike said.

"She looks a bit tired for sex, Spike," Xander told him.

"She's drunk," Spike said. "I'm just going to let her sleep. No sex was planned."

"Oh," Xander said, slightly embarrassed. "All right, then. G'night, K."

"Goodnight, mommy," K said.

"Pretty drunk," Willow commented.

At this point, Buffy had been woken up by the noise. She had come down to see what the racket was.

"What is going on here?" Her eyes shot to Spike.

"It wasn't me, love!" Spike defended himself. "It was this one. K started this party."

"It's true," Willow said. "We were sitting around all bored. Spike commented on how this wasn't a party. K got up and… well, started a party."

"Yeah," Spike said. "And I'm going to go end it now."

"She seems a bit wasted for sex," Buffy said bitterly.

"Bloody hell!" Spike exclaimed. "Why does everyone think I'm going to fuck this one? No, she's drunk, and I'm putting her to bed. That's it."

Buffy turned away from him to face Willow and Xander again. "You guys, make sure this is all over soon. And everyone is cleaning up after their mess. I'm not a big fan of random parties in the work place."

"Aw, just live a little, Buff," a drunk K said, still limp in Spike's arms. "This party brought massive amounts of good to all of us. Spike… Spike and I…" she giggled stupidly "Spike and I finally told each other… it's weird… how we feel… but… oh, God…"

"Right, then. Off to bed with you," Spike said, carrying her up the stairs.

"So they told each other how they feel," Willow said. "I think that's really great. They're so cute."

"Yeah," Xander said. "I'm just a little worried for her. Y'know, I don't want Spike to treat her like a, 'oh I couldn't get Buffy, so I'll settle for you' kind of girl."

"It seems like it's like that, but I don't think it's going to be. I sense something between those two. It's strong, and real."

"It's probably just lust," Buffy said before attempting to stop the party.

Spike opened the door to Satsu's room, laying K down ever so gently on the bed. "You be a good girl, all right?"

"Spike…" K said softly. "Spike?"

"Yeah? I'm right here." Spike held her hand as if it were made of fragile glass.

"You… you love Buffy."

"Yeah. But I more-than-love you." Spike kissed her on the forehead. "Goodnight."

She smiled stupidly. "Goodnight, Spike."

What felt like around ten seconds after Spike left, the door opened again and Satsu walked in. "Buffy ended the party," she said. "But it was so much fun. I'm glad you started it."

"Me, too," K said. "I'm so drunk right now. Oh, God."

Satsu smiled a devilish smile. "You're really that drunk?" she asked, crawling into bed next to K.

"Yeah," K hiccupped. "That drunk. Well, I dunno, I've never been drunk before…"

"Are you drunk enough that if I took advantage of you right now, you wouldn't be able to fight back?"

K hiccupped again. "Probably."

Satsu turned K's head to face her and lightly kissed her on the lips. "I'm going to give you a night to remember."

Satsu slowly removed K's shirt and removed her black bra. "You have nice breasts," Satsu commented, grasping them in her hands.

"Mmmmm," K said.

"It's pretty hot in here, isn't it?" Satsu asked, removing her own shirt and bra now.

"Just a little," K said.

"We'll fix that." Satsu unbuttoned K's fly, and slid her pants off. "Cute panties."

"Thanks," K said, giggling.

Satsu didn't look at them twice as she removed them, revealing what she really wanted. She spread K's legs apart, and put her face right by her center. "Hmmm." She moved her tongue from down to up and smiled. "Tastes good."

"That's… nice…" K said softly.

"What's my name?" Satsu asked.

K hiccupped again. "I… don't remember. But… good…"

Satsu laughed. "You're so cute. I'm going to make you scream." Satsu dug her tongue into her center, causing her to moan and shake with pleasure.

"That's… good… keep doing that…" K panted.

Satsu was all for dirty talk during sex, but her mouth was a little busy.

"Ah… ah… oh, God," K moaned as her body shook and she came into Satsu's mouth.

Satsu chuckled darkly. "There, there. We're just getting started."
