Her golden body covered in a thin layer of sweat; her hair was plastered to
her neck and face. Buffy lay spent. "Wow, that was a great surprise." Buffy
said, licking the excess chocolate off her lips. "Who knew chocolate body
paint could be so much fun." She said with an evil gleam in her eyes.
"Here let me help you with that." Angel said, an evil grin spreading across
his handsome face. Rolling on top of his wife he rained kisses all over her
face, nibbling briefly at her ears, before making his way to her lips,
tasting the left over chocolate.
"Mmm," Buffy purred, her body arching into his wonderful ministrations, "Can
we stay like this forever?" She asked.
Before Angel could answer, their four year old daughter bounded into their
room, Angel pulling the covers over both him and his wife's naked bodies.
"Momma! Dadda!" Keisha yelped as she launched herself into their bed, her
brown curls flying every which way. Crawling up into Buffy's chest. "Circus
day?" She asked, with a slight yawn.
"Yes the circus is today." Buffy said, "Now why don't you go into your room
and start getting dressed, mommy will be in to help you in a moment, okay?"
She finished, as she combed through her daughter's locks.
"Otay." Keisha answered, a few moments later. Making her way off the bed,
she stumbled, shaking it off she looked down at the small purple pillow
shaped as a heart, the reason she tripped. Looking up at her parents she
smiled, showing off her two little dimples, "Uncle Spike's pillow!" She
threw the pillow up onto the bed and ran out the room giggling.
Rolling her eyes Buffy sighed, "I think that is our cue to get up Mr.
McAden." Buffy said, moving the pillow.
"I think you are right Mrs. McAden." Angel returned suggestively, with a
wink.
"Throwing the pillow at her husband, "Get dressed." Buffy said as she went
to their closet and pulled on a robe before making her way into Keisha's
room.
*~*~*
"Keisha!" Buffy yelled over the noise and music from the circus. "Slow down,
wait for mommy and daddy." Jogging Buffy and Angel made their way to over to
their daughter after they had finished buying the tickets.
"I wanna see dis and dis and dis." Keisha said pointing to everything they
passed.
Angel laughed at his daughter's excitement, scooping her up into his toned
arms. "What do you want to do first sweetheart?" Angel asked to his
daughter.
Both Buffy and Keisha turned to answer.
Suddenly a man desperately trying to stay on his stilts hobbled over, "Hey
there little girl, my name is Riley." A poorly painted clown said a little
too cheery, a bog goofy and crooked smile painted on his face. "How 'bout I
make you a pink poodle?"
Keisha looked up at the clown, blonde hair popping out of his fake bright
red curly wig. His big red nose that had a huge hole in it and was put on
crookedly.
"Do you want a balloon?" Riley asked moving closer to Keisha, "How 'bout I
make you a poodle." He pulled out a long pink balloon and stood desperately
trying to blow it up.
Looking trapped, Keisha buried her head into the crook of Angel's neck.
"Dadda, I don't like him, scary."
"Uh, I think we are just going to go to our seats." Buffy said as the trio
made their way past the clown.
"I guess we have two women in the family that aren't crazy about clowns,
huh." Angel smirked.
"Shut up and kiss me." Buffy replied playfully.
Placing Keisha down, Angel leaned over to place a kiss on her button nose
before moving up to his wife's lips. After a few moments Keisha knew her
parents were not going to let up anytime soon, so gently tugging on her
mother's skirt she looked up her big hazel eyes meeting her mother's,
"C'mon." She pleaded, "Circus day."
Looking down sheepishly, Buffy rubbed her daughters head, took her small
hand, and the family went into the tent where the circus was held.
*~*~*
"Next," The announcers voice boomed, "We have the amazing Riley!" The
audience roared in anticipation.
Riley ran to the center of the ring, stopping he bent down and proceeded to
do a summersault, only problem was he couldn't make it back to his feet for
a couple of moments.
Sighing the announcer walked off stage rubbing his temples as the audience
booed and hissed at him.
Bowing a couple of times, Riley then clasped his hands together and brought
them over his head in a sign of victory. "Okay ladies, gentlemen, boys, and
girls; do you see this canon?" He asked waiting for their reply. Realizing
that he was not going to get an answer he continued on. "Well I am just
going to place myself in this canon like this," He started as he placed both
his feet in the canon and wriggled the rest of his body into it. "Now my
assistant is going to light the canon and you will then see me jump threw
those hoops." He said pointing to the hoops attached to the top of the tent.
The assistant came out, accidentally knocked the canon out of its position,
no one realizing what had just happened. She lit the canon, "Okay in
5-4-3-2-1-and blast off!" She screamed completely unaware of what was to
come.
Riley took off, not threw the rings like planned, but over toward where the
lions were kept. Laughter was heard all throughout the rink, hoots and
hollers were heard, the assistant did the only thing she could, she took a
bow.
*~*~*
"Well, what now the night is still young." Buffy said as the trio made their
way out of the tent, after the clown capade the trio decided to skip the
last half of the circus acts.
"I want dis!" Keisha cooed pointing to the women's purple streaks. "I want
dis!"
Dragging her parents, Keisha stood in the line. "Well, well look who it is."
Spike said, a smirk on his face.
"Uncle Spike!" Keisha launched herself into his lap. "I want dis." She
giggled pointing to his purple streaks.
"Sorry pet, you aren't old enough." Spike said, "But mom and dad could get
'em," His lips twisting into an evil grin.
Buffy and Angel both were shaking their heads slowly. "C'mon sweetie." Angel
said calling to his daughter as both he and Buffy backed away from the
booth.
Spike whispered into the little girls ear, she laughed and jumped off
Spike's lap moving up to her father. Tugging on his duster, "Dadda, pwease,
pwease I want you and momma to have purple hair, pwease dada." She finished
off, her bottom lip quivering, her two big hazel eyes looking up.
He groaned inwardly, never able to deny his daughter anything, especially
when she gave him the puppy dogface. Walking over her sat down at the booth
Spike was running, he sat in the chair, reached into his pocket, "How much?"
He asked defeated.
"Aww, I couldn't charge ya for anything my niece wanted." Spike smirked.
*~*~*
An hour later Buffy and Angel had purple hair and more fairy floss then they
knew what to do with both compliments of Spike. This was definitely the
weirdest circus Buffy had ever been to.
Keisha lay in her father's arms dead tired. "I think it's time to
'G-O-H-O-M-E.'" Angel said spelling out the last half, not wanting to alarm
Keisha.
Keisha lifted her head, eyes wide. "No! No go!" Her legs swinging about
trying to get down.
Just then a bunch of teens ran past, sparklers in their hands.
"Look," Keisha said, fascinated in the sparklers, "Pretty."
Angel looked over at Buffy who nodded, seconds later they both took off
looking for the nearest exit.
*~*~*
Buffy lay her chin on her lovers chest. Keisha was out like a light as soon
as Angel and Buffy had tucked her into her bed. This leaving Buffy and Angel
some free time.
"So," Buffy said, "How long do you think it will take to get these 'pretty'
purple streaks out?
"No clue," Angel said shaking his head a smile on his face, "I do know an
idea to pass the time though" A devious smile gracing his face.
"Oh really, well we should definitley get started then." Buffy answered,
moving over to kiss Angel fully on the lips. At that the two lovers proceeded to ravish each other the rest of the night.
