I combed the last strand of hair back and looked into the mirror. Oh, Xander you are fine! I smiled and returned my comb to my pocket of my expensive but stylish jeans. Thank God my drunker then thou parents give me money.I grabbed my bag, slung it over my shoulder and headed out to meet Buffy at the Caf. Well, in the court yard ( Read more... )

I stood up from the chair and turned from Dawn, my decision made. "Dawn..." How would I tell her I was out for revenge? "Dawn..." I mean it's hard enough to keep her still and non-vengeful..."Look, I have to go to the morgue wing and then home to get Buffy's things...for the funeral arrangements. Coroner and all." Great, lie to Dawn, why don't you ( Read more... )

My eyes opened to the brown ceiling of my less then luxurious room in the hyperion. I rubbed them with one hand and then the pounding started. The pulse pounding in my head...Ow. And I remember. Alcohol, and alot of it. And then sparring with...the guy and losing badly. And then throwing up and carried and black. And now hangover city. I sat up and ( Read more... )

I sat the first couple down at...it had to be 8. They ate, they left. I sat the next ccouple at about 9. Seemed to be the reguars came in first but then the crowds. 10, 11 a clock and mass amounts of people plowing through the door. I stood at my podium writing down table arrangements, well Ia ssupposed to be. I was supposed to be numbering them ( Read more... )

I stared out the window across the vast desert wondering in which direction Anya's body was. It'd probabally be under rubble. And in the middle of a massive crater. It'd still have her clothes on. Her grey jacket over the purple shirt. It might have a slash across her back or somewhere on her body. It's not like Andrew would tell me. He's too ( Read more... )

I left Angel's office content to leave the two alone while I checked out my new car. Ok, used car but a not-stolen real car. I walked down the hallway back past Harmony's now vacant desk and caught the elevator. I stood there looking slacker-ish around the lawyer-types. Then headed down to Buffy's office to wait for her there. Didn't really need to ( Read more... )

I flipped the channel to the local news. The weather man said we'd have 80 degees and sunny today. Yup, another sunny day in L.A. I sighed and put the tv on mute. Then I turned on the stereo which emmitted smooth jazz. Much better then sunny days. Where'd he think L.A. was? Sesame Street!? I looked back at the tv and the scene ha switched to the 5 ( Read more... )

My eyes opened for the millionth time that afternoon. This whole getting rest thing wasn't working. Everytime I closed my eyes the first slayer attacked me. Everytime I opened them the first slayer was lurking. Damn that spirited hag! Now, because of her I'm getting loads of non-sleep! I yawned and got up, getting dressed for the second time that ( Read more... )

I sighed as I hung up the phone and turned back to Dawn. "I got his answering machine." I walked her back to the main waiting area and stood there. I circled around getting frustrated. "Damnit Giles! What a time to be having tea and crumpets." I rolled my eyes and rubbed my hands in my hair. We had been there all night. It was midnight and we were ( Read more... )

I sighed at the back of the classroom. Mrs. H was droning on and on...and on about covalent bonds. I really didn't know when I'd ever use covalent bonds in real life so I tuned out. Way out. Cause, in my thoughts I had walked into the library on Juliet training. Wesley was nowhere around. She'd stop. I'd yammer and then she'd drop her weapons and ( Read more... )
