"Mind if I take a rain check, even though it isn't raining?"

I knew Willow would make good on the promise she'd made the night before. She had something to do, something that I'm sure involved that Fred girl we ran into, and I wasn't about to try and stop her. She had her Resolve Face on. Anyone who knew Willow at all knew what that meant. I ( Read more... )

So the bronze, with the Succubus getting taken away by students. Students at UC Sunnydale. As much as I wanted to just choke it all up to the Anya filter, I had to believe her it's not like she gave me any reason not to. My guess was the killing possible sexual parteners was a big reason for Anya to help out ( Read more... )

Even I was suprised at myself at how invested I had become in Fred's problem. Because there most definitley was one. A mean, cruel, not all all the girl I met just the other day problem.

Taylor's ( Read more... )

Kyla and I were actually having a rather normal time. Sitting at the Expresso Pump. Sipping our respective drinks, discussing college majors. It was like a scene from Dawson's Creek or Felicity. Oh! I love that Felicity! Okay, so a bit behind the current trend of JJ Abrams shows, but there was a bit of time in the 90's there were I was pretty bored ( Read more... )

I glanced down at Charlie's shoes. "Cute shoes," I said trying to seem upbeat. "Ready ( Read more... )

Helping the helpless. It was what I did, be it in Los Angeles or Sunnydale, or anywhere else for that matter. Granted, Sunnydale already had a champion in Buffy, but even someone as experienced as the Slayer could use a hand from time to time -- especially when the place in question was a potential gateway for evil. We were standing on the mouth of ( Read more... )
