In which moment do you know your life has turned out to be weird? When exactly are that moment when you sit down and this ‘shit, this is so off!’? For me? It’s about the time when I found out my sister was a vampire slayer. Oh, yeah, and the fact that vampires are real. And so is demon. And magic is much more than bad horror movies. And then you

"So what takes your fancy. What flick are we gonna see? The latest Harry Potter? Some foreign film with unreadable subtitles or a piece of fluff blockbuster?"

"I vote for 'Mean Girls'. I like Lindsey Lohan. And that film has got no blood and no killing and still has got 'mean' in the title, so..." And it's a chick flick.

"Well, I guess you are paying, so...Mean Girls it is. Sounds like a bloody porno though." I mutter under my breath.
As we walk along I keep an eye out for trouble, shadows moving in the dark. This is Sunnydale after all, things going bump in the night is a regular occurence.

"Could you just shut up?" I say and giggle a little after one more of Spike's comments about the movie. I doubt I will ever be able to go to chick flicks if he keeps this up!

"What now?" I ask once we are back out on the street. "And please don't say the Bronze."

"Alright, not the Bronze, though it could be fun..." Or not. How fun can the Bronze be to Spike? I mean, lotsa food that he can't get, right? "What else can we do? Walk around the city?" You know it would sound normal in any place besides Sunnydale...

I turn to her and shrug.
"False alarm I guess-" The next thing I know I am being bowled over and knocked to the pavement.

So, I turn and run. Running is something one needs to be really good in this city. Damn! I hope Spike is ok. I look back and can see him fighting the demons. He is good. I'm not sure what I should do stay here and wait or keep running. So I'm just standing there, frozen, watching from distance as Spike fights and trying to figure what to do. Where to go.

Where's Dawn? I panic for a sec, but then spot her running off in the distance. Good girl, I think to myself but then my attention is grabbed by a second demon lunging at me. Where the hell did they come from? I vamp out, pissed now that they've endangered Dawn and spoilt the night out.
"Bad move mate." I growl at the first ugly to jump me, then I snarl and direct a kick at his face.

I hear a scream. A loud scream. And it's not coming from Spike or one of the things he's fighting with. It's human scream. I look around seeing for the first time where I am. I'm besides the cemetery Buffy is buried. The scream came from the cemetery.
I look one more time at Spike. He's busy. What if there's someone being attacked in the cemetery. I... I need to check. I get the stake out from my bag, and yes, I actually do take a stake with me. I get the stake and run in the cemetery. God, I really hope the scream wasn't coming from a newbie vamp...

"Well, step up to the plate or run away." I mutter at him, my gaze flicking back to where Dawn is...running into the cemetary. Is she mentally deficient?
"Oy, Dawn!" I call out to her, then reel back when the second demon clocks me. I recover and duck under his next blow. "So, you must be tweedle dumber." I mock as I move into his reach and jab him hard in the gut with my elbow and follow up with a double fisted blow to the back when he doubles over.
Another one bites the pavement. I wipe my face, there's a cut somewhere and I can taste my own blood. I don't have time to finish the job though, Dawn's gone and done a stupid thing. I'll tear her throat out myself if she gets herself killed.
I run after her, trying to catch up. What the hell spooked her?
