Second best

Jan 27, 2005 10:41

I stayed indoors as long as I could, but Spike's request for me to stay in the crypt interfered with my set logic pattern. I'm capable of two things: worship Spike, and slaying. Seeing as how he hadn't been back for a while, I shifted into the thing-I-do-second-best mode ( Read more... )

I looked around Willow and Tara's place...talk about a bust. I thought coming over here would be fun. You know just us girls. Maybe doing some magic. But no. Since I got here alls I have been doing is watching t.v, reading a book or my all time favorite...moping. As soon as I got here Tara and Willow had stuff to do. Which ya makes sense. I mean they got classes and all. I had told them that I would be getting picked up in the morning but I decided to leave a little earlier then that. I packed up my stuff and put it into my back-pack. Then I put my shoes on and jacket and opened the door quietly just incase they were here sleeping. I couldn't tell the lights where off. And I pulled the door shut and made my way outside ( ... )

It was like he didn’t even try. I know he was new to the ‘vampire’ thing, but that was just...pathetic. Kinda very. Hmm, maybe I should ask them how long they’ve been a member of the un-dead before engaging in a fight with them. It might make the job less...dull.

I pocketed my stake and was about the head off when I heard a rustling in the bushes off to my right. Tilting my head curiously I thermo-scanned the general area. I could see a figure concealed in the foliage, but it registered at 98.6, so my peeping-tom was of the human variety.

“You can stop hiding now. One, because the vampire has been disposed of and two because well...it just seems silly now that I know you’re there. Unless you enjoy hiding in bushes and do it on a regular basis, in that case...continue.”

I watched my sister pocket her stake. I sighed in relief as I watched her start to take off. But she stopped. I looked at her. Then she turned and stared directly at me...well not me..but the bush that was keeping my cover.

"You can stop hiding now. One, because the vampire has been disposed of and two because well...it just seems silly now that I know you’re there. Unless you enjoy hiding in bushes and do it on a regular basis, in that case...continue.I stayed down low for a few minutes. How did she know?...she always knew I guess. She said the vampire had been disposed of. What if I had just been some random human walking by and hid for the sake of hiding and she goes off and says basically yes it was a vampire. I shrugged that off and focused more on the last part of that. The hiding thing and doing so on a regular basis ( ... )

“Dawn!” I half yelled at her unintentionally due to the unexpectedness that is was her who had been my late-night stalker from the shrubs. Smiling cheerfully I walked over to her and hugged her tightly. After pulling away I adjusted the collar of her shirt since I had rudely disheveled it in midst of all my excitement.

“Oh, I’m not made.” I supplied a warm smile just incase she didn’t believe me. “Willow and Tara...?” I thought on those names momentarily till I could connect those two names with stored file information. “Oh! Right. Well maybe it’s best you left them alone. I’m sure they’d appreciate the ‘alone-time’ so they can practice...witchcraft and...other sources of gay amusement.”

I looked down over myself as she mentioned my clothing.

“This? Warren gave it to me. He’s very nice. Have you two met?”

"Yes. I'm fine. Better than fine even. Thank you for asking. And how are you?"

She was SO not fine. But uh...wow okay.

"I'm....uh...peachy...I think"

I put my hand to my forehead and felt it. I didn't feel hot. So ya I am fine. But clearly one of us was not. And the one who wasn't was wearing a big perky smile on her face. I don't recall her ever being this happy. She so wasn't dealing with mom's death.

"Do you have a problem concerning their sexual orientation? They are our friends and we should be happy for them and support them in their lesbionic endeavorers."

I heard what she had just said. Sexual orientation....lesbionic endeavorers!. I fell to the ground. I sat there and tried to gather my thoughts. Not that I really had any at that moment. How did something as simple as Willow and Tara or how you feeling turn into what sexual orientation someone is in. It's official...my sister is nuts.

"But who will slay the vampires? By rule they don't usually go around staking themselves. Although, that would be helpful. And what ( ... )

"I'm....uh...peachy...I think"

"Great! Wouldn't want you to be unhappy in anyway. I'm your older sister and it's my job to take care of you. Your happiness is a top priority....that, and Spike."

Yes, we mustn't forget Spike. I stared at her oddly as she descended to the ground suddenly. Strange... Was it something I'd said? I took a seat on the ground in front of her and stared at her curiously.

"Buffy!, something is seriously wrong here. Willow and Tara with there se...se...I can't even say it!! and now Spike. You want to hit right? Please tell me that's what you want to do to him."

"Sexual orientation? Is that what you can't say? It's not that difficult, really."

Boy, she was acting strange.

"Hit Spike? No! Well, we have this thing where I pretend to stake him, but I wouldn't hurt him...not really."

It was good that she didn't want me unhappy. I frowned some when she said it was her job to take care of me. I know she didn't mean it as a job like job type deal like this her being the slayer thing kinda job. But I don't know. It was great to have someone who cared for you, I will admit that..just not one who wants to make sure your kept out of harms way 24/7 ( ... )

I shook my head some then blinked.

"No sex talk in the cemetary...check."

Not sure why, exactly, but I may as well humor her wishes for the time being. Maybe I'd question it once we left the graveyard. She had set no rules for out there as of yet.

I nodded happily to her final question with a grin.

"I'm more than sure. Why do you keep asking me that...?"

Was it customary to repeat a question over and over again? Should I be asking he about her well being again?

[[Ooh-la-crap! >.<]]

I rose an eyebrow when she got all happy and said Your Welcome. Why was she so perky....this was the side of Buffy I had never seen before....it was a little creepy. Well no I wouldn't go that far but it was...different.

I had to keep myself from asking my sister if she was okay again. I had asked that a lot but something just didn't seem right. Maybe this was her way of dealing with mom's death.

"I forgot all about it actually, but thank you for reminding me."My eyes went wide and my mouth dropped down. I couldn't believe what Buffy had just said. She forgot all about it....how was that even possible. Buffy had walked over to me and pushed my mouth closed and had a big grin on her face. I backed up and looked around. Headstone..no, tree..no..trash can! yes!. I walked over to that and kicked it. The other two would have hurt. Where as after kicking the can it came off the holder it was on and landed on the ground. I turned my attention back to my sister ( ... )
