Dream of Californication

[last_to_believe]

Kacie had left at like 2 that afternoon with her doctor-boyfriend who was takin' her to Las Vegas for the weekend, leavin' her Santa Monica beach house all to me. She tried real heard to pretend like she was givin' me the speech, the one about not having any parties while she was gone, no drinking, and definitely no boys. But I could tell, Kacie

Buffy was off doing somethin' or other, and I heard of this party from the job. Funny that. Little girls thinkin' that I didn't have ears, shame on them. I hear everything. Not that I exactly wanted to come by here. Just the lot of niblits runnin' a muck through a house that was going to be trashed by the end of the night, but what could I say? Free beer. And once Alec and I had made up our mind to go, it didn't take us quite a long time to get to the house.

Alec got me a beer and I took a long sip as I glanced around at the young twits walkin' around, givin' us the look of total embarassment.

Well, my job is done, I thought with a grin. Might as well enjoy it, all of them knowin' that I was watchin'. Course, I could care less, mostly.

"Off the clock now mate," I grinned and finished a beer before makin' my way back over and gettin' another. Walked back and noticed him scannin' the place.

"I believe we are. Doesn't exactly bother me." Well, it did before we came to the party but now, didn't quite.

Givin' him a look, I took another long swallow. "I'd watch yourself here. Slayer girls are quite the frisky bunch and I'm sure that 98 percent of them are not legal. Shame for that."

[xseries5494]

"I like frisky." I said with a leering grin as I clinked my beer bottle up against Spike's. I'd drink to that. Taking another long swallow I couldn't help but let my eyes linger over everyone who wasn't Tyler or Lexi ok, maybe not Lexi sometimes...

Eh. What does legal even mean? I mean, it means nothing because I have Grace back at home, and I'm crazy about Grace and she would hurt me very badly if she could see me right now. Buffy would probably do the same thing to Spike. But guess what? Grace and Buffy weren't here tonight.

I was off the clock tonight too, by the way. So Lexi and Tyler better not get into any damn trouble that I'd have to bail them out of. Then again, hopefully I wouldn't get into any trouble that Lexi and Tyler would have to bail me out of.

My eyes followed a cute girl who walked by wearing an itty bitty tube top and a pair of low rise jeans. "You know what though? I have to say. At my job? I get to watch these girls walk around in those cute little Catholic uniforms with those short skirts. At your job you get to let them punch you in the face." I couldn't help but rub into his face a little bit. Nothin' says love like a little friendly banter.

Not that I love Spike....That would just be weird.

I heard some of the girls whispering about a party at the beach house. Nothing like underage slayers mingling with underage regular kids with lots of liquor flowing to bring out the predators. I had the night off from the club so I changed into a pair of jeans and a tank top before heading out to the address on the flier that I found.

By the time I arrived the party was in full swing. I came across some kid puking behind a tree as his buddies laughed at him. There were some girls dancing in a circle while drinking from beer bottles and wine coolers. It was like the parties I used to attend when I was their age.

Spotted a couple of the baby slayers and laughed a little as I thought about how screwed they would be if Kennedy found them. Heard that she was on the war path with training lately. She should be careful before there was a mutiny.

There was a tingle that ran up my spine that screamed vampire and immediately I tensed up. Then I saw that familiar bleached hair and rolled my eyes. Now what the hell was Spike doing here? Did that mean Buffy was running around too?

Approaching slowly, I grabbed a beer from a kid and smiled when he protested only to have him blush and walk away. Yeah, sometimes it was nice to be hot. It worked in my advantage. Stopping behind Spike and his friend, I leaned in and whispered in their ears.

"Aren't you boys just a little too old to be taking in the view?"

[willywannabite]

"Yeah, if only you were me, oh, young, unwise one," I grinned, but he didn't seem convinced. Turning, I set my beer on the counter and raised my eyebrow.

"While you, mate, get to 'watch' the birds in their uniforms, frolicking about, I my good man, get pummeled, daily by the chicks in this place." He didn't seem quite convinced on how that would be better. Maybe it was just me.

"Right, okay. Not only do I get punched in the face, many a times a day, but I also get knocked down, with either, them jumping on me, or me pullin' them down, do you catch my drift?"

Pickin' up my beer, I took another sip and shrugged, "Perhaps I'm a dirty old man, sod all, I love my job anyway. Guess you have to be a vampire to understand. Hangin' with slayer's all day, then goin' home to one, yeah, life is good right about now," I grinned at him and finshed off my beer, settin' it back on the counter and tilted my head when I felt a tingle up me spine.

Turnin' around, I grinned, "Not quite agin', pet," I said as my grin turned into a smile.

[xseries5494]

I thought hard about what Spike was saying and actually he did kind of have a point. It wasn't like those girls hit that hard but they were always hot. Maybe Spike did have the better job. Damn it. That wasn't fair, I could help slayers train too. Actually, I had been helping Nicole lately.

Turning around I gave the once over to a girl who looked a little too familiar for comfort. Shit. She wasn't Manticore was she? Of course not. Me and Max were the only growed up Manticore castoffs this year.

"What? I'm not old." I said with a scowl. "I'm only twenty one. How old are you?" She had to be twenty one too. Please, let her be twenty one and not say, sixteen.

I smirked at her slyly. "Never too old to take in the view anyways." I said as I raked my eyes over her deliberately.

[paigecarter]

"Ohh twenty-one? You're a manly man." I arched an eyebrow at him as he gave me a look that was clearly checking me out. Walking deliberately slow around them, I stopped in front of both of them, did a little turn that I perfected when I was on stage before taking a long drink from my beer.

"You're a dirty old man, Spike. But I trust you won't do anything that would make you lose those important parts you are so fond of. I bet Buffy has a horrible temper when provoked."

Looking back at the guy I hadn't met yet I smirked at his comment about my age. He was cute. He also knew he was cute. Cocky guys always cracked me up. Made me want to take them down a peg or two for fun.

"No, I'm twenty. Which means I could take any one of these minors that are at least 16 and make them scream my name and it would only be a misdemeanor. Sucks for you. Twenty-one makes it a felony."

[willywannabite]

I just grinned as I listened to them go on and on. Alec wasn't old, he was still a tot barely out of nappies. Lucky him. Pullin' out a smoke, I lit it up and grinned at Paige, sly temptress, she was.

"Yes, she does. I happen to like that about her, the whole takin' it out on me thing." What? A vamp has to get his kicks somewhere, especially when anger leads to other naughty things.

I took another drag as I watched her deliberately make Alec weak in his knee's.

"She's got you there, mate," I said and nodded as I went and got a beer before headin' back. I wondered what my Slayer was doin' or if she was home by now. Figured I'd get rightly pissed here, then head off to see her, but not quite yet.

"How's the tease-fest goin'?" I grinned as I slid back into my spot against the counter.

[xseries5494]

With a smirk I gave the hottie Spike seemed to know a fake shocked look. "Making the minors scream? Is that what you're doing here? That's illegal you know? I'm just here to enjoy the free beer." I winked at her condescendingly as I took another swig before looking over at Spike.

This chick was ridiculously hot but hey what do you know? So am I. She looked a lot like Max which made me kind of wanna play with her a little bit. But with the getup she was wearing? Definitely not Max. Besides, Gracie was way hotter.

"She's got me nowhere." I said to Spike as he leaned up against the counter again. Killing my beer I grabbed another before leering down at this chick again. "I'm Alec by the way. Do you have a name or do you just want me to call you Misdemeanor?" I grinned at her as I took another sip before looking over at Spike.

[myflaweddesign]

"Only if she can call you Felony." I said with a big exaggerated roll of my eyes at Alec. Didn't he know I was the one who handed out the names? I was a Hell of a lot better at it too. Shit.

Misdemeanor girl threw my ass for a loop. She looked just like me, except all girly. I was definitely trippin' had to sneak a peek at the back of the neck to check for a barcode. Wasn't one. Make up was a good trick for foolin' the average person, but any real deal Manticore alumni knows one when they see one. She was just some kinda freak genetic fluke. Lookin' like me but not comin' from my test tube or anything.

Maybe they got my DNA from her parents or somethin' whacked out like that. Circle of life or some shit.

Hadn't originally been plannin' on attending this little house party here, but bein' back in the past wasn't all it had seemed cracked up to be in my present. Except for the unlimited hot water supply. I was taking like five baths a day now. Plus, no seizures. Tryptophan was easy to come by.

That Grace chick Alec called his girlfriend was workin' on some spell or thing to get me back to 2020 where I belonged. In the meantime, some evil ass lawfirm was puttin' me up in a penthouse seeing how it was their bad I was here in the first place. Can't really complain. Nice digs, pretty much anything I wanted on demand. Still, found myself missing Logan.

Somehow, a flyer for this party ended up practically wallpaperin' the mall I was picking up some extra clothes at. Tons of people to blend in with, free alcohol, and some time away from sleeping with the enemy? I was so there.

A backless haltered top that plunged in the front and covered just the barcode in the back and some leather pants plus one of the more girly looks I used to pull of during a scam, and here I was, beer in hand, watchin' Alec's stupid ass try to run some stupid game on past version of me with some sidekick who seriously needed to lay off of the peroxide. What the Hell was this? The perv section of a jailbait party?

That accounts for Alec's prescence.

"So what's up?" I said, lookin' over at Bleach Boy. "Your kid an Honor Student here or somethin'?"
