Mirror - March Topic
While Buffy was out, I did what I always did, went to the bar. What? Can’t a vampire go and get a nice ‘n tall drink of something that burns down his throat? ‘Course he can. Of course it was more interestin’ when there was someone there to hang out with. Everyone seems so damn busy, what with savin’ the world, or savin’ people, or … doing things, having hobbies, boyfriends, girlfriends, jobs, errands, annoyin’ roommates, children, ect, ect. Good ole Spike though, yeah, I have a job, have a girl, s’all I need for the ‘mo. But, alls I’m sayin’ is that it would be nice to hang with someone once in awhile. Usually, Alec is here to do some shots with me, but he’s off … don’t much know. Angel? Yeah, my beggin’ days are over. cough.
A few hours after I started drinkin’ myself into a tizzy, I finally got up to go because to be honest, I would like to spend some time with the love of my life before I pass out cold until the next afternoon. Pullin’ out my wallet, I left a few bills on the table before headin’ toward the exit and I grinned and shook my head.
“You’re already late, mate, already goin’ home,” I said soundly, but Alec just walked right on passed me. Prick he is. I frowned and turned around, watchin’ as Alec just mosey’d on up and sat down at the bar, close to where I was sittin’, usually where we sat. I stood there for a moment, tryin’ to think of what I could possibly do like some nancy boy pathetic toot before I finally shook my head and walked over.
“Oh, you think you’re high and mighty do you?” I said and sat down next to him.
“Uh, do I know you, pal?” Alec said and it took me a moment. That wasn’t Alec. In fact, it was .. an older version of him, if that was even possible. Only by a few years.
“Bloody hell,” I sighed and shook my head.
Too much of that goin’ around in this town, I’ll let you know. Wasn’t even goin’ to say anything about it. Didn’t much care to be honest.
“Right then, my mistake,” I nodded.
“Sure, uh, anytime,” he said, just as confused as I was and raised his beer to me. Polite bloke he was at least.
“Yeah, right then,” I said before headin’ home.
When I walked into the house, I looked around for Buffy and ended up findin’ her upstairs.
“You’ll never guess what I saw tonight.”
