"I can not fathom a possibly good reason why Faith---" Wesley looked over at Xander, who was sending him daggers with his eyes, "Right, then. What do you want to do today?"
"Go home. Go to sleep. My head hurts."
Wesley nodded, "I think it's a side efffect of the drug," They drove the rest of the way in silence, until the Watcher pulled up in front of Xander's house, "There we are," Xander was about to jump out of the car, but he was stopped by the older man, "Take care?"
"I will. See you."
"Buffy," Giles complained, "I need my hand to drive," She had hers firmly wrapped in his, trying to hold onto him, "Please," When she didn't listen, he asked, "Are you still under the effects of that pill?"
She shook her head, sighing loudly, "No. I wish I was, though."
"Why?"
"Last night," She explained, "Us. It was nice," He looked away, intent on driving, "You can't say that you actually didn't enjoy it.....Giles......."
He glanced at her, "It was nice. But, I think that if we are to salvage any relationship out of that little experience, we should take it very slow."
"I know," She shrugged, "But......."
"Buffy, I can't deny my feelings for you, especially now. But, that was wild, and very dangerous. We took part in something absolutely mad, with vampires. It was," Buffy pouted, "A very nice thing," She smiled, "The time I spent with you."
The Slayer was beaming, and very straightforward, "Can I crash at your place?"
"I don't think---" He colapsed, giving in almost instantly, "Of course. Just call your mother, and make sure you understand that nothing will happen."
"'Course."
Willow was contently curled up in Angelus' arms, both of them intensely absorbed in a game on Faith's playstation. Spike, Faith, and Cordelia were curled up on the floor, watching the game.
"I win!" Willow jumped gleefully, as Angelus' plane crashed, "Here, Cordy."
She grinned, "C'mon, Faith, I'm gonna getcha!"
Spike complained, "When am I going to get my bloody turn?!"
The next evening, Willow went to Giles' with Faith and Cordelia. They were meeting the rest of the gang there --- minus Spike and Angelus, who went out to feed. Willow couldn't help but feel slightly stressed. *Things WILL get weird.*
"Will'?" Faith rubbed her back lightly, causing her to jump, "Are you alright?"
"A little wigged, that's all."
Cordelia nodded, as she pushed the door open. Their gaze rested on Giles and Buffy, kissing affectionately on the sofa, "A little wigged?"
Giles immediately stopped, and blushed, "Um, Cordelia, next time, could you please knock?"
She nodded, "I think I learned my lesson."
"Very well," He changed the subject, "Is Wesley with you?"
Xander's voice came from the back, "No. He left," The crowd split, and Xander was standing there, looking somewhat forlorn, holding a piece of paper, "Went to England."
"Oh, Xan'," Buffy tried, "I'm sorry."
"It's alright," He smiled, "I'm going up there for a while. I leave in two days."
"Seriously?" Faith grinned, as he nodded, "Congrats, Man."
"Wow...." Cordy teased, "Xander has finally found love."
"It's not love," He shrugged, "We're friends," He shivered, "That's scary."
Buffy laughed, while Willow squeeze dher best friend's arm, "I'm happy for you. Really."
He kissed her cheek, "Thanks, Will'. What are we doing here?"
Faith shrugged, "I don't know. How about we go Bronzin'?"
Cordelia shrugged, "I don't feel like it. I wanna stay in."
Willow agreed, "Didn't Spike and Angelus---"
"Right."
Buffy teased, asking, "So, how close are we to the vampires?"
Faith reached for Cordy's hand, "Not that close. Willow's the close one."
"Hey, now."
Giles ended the meeting, "Well, mostly, I just wanted to know how everyone was holding up, and I see that we are fine."
"Five by five."
"Good. Well, then, be careful tonight?"
End Part 1
"So, mate," Spike asked honestly, on their way back to Faith's apartment, "How do you feel about this bloody mess?"
Angelus chuckled, "It is a mess, isn't it."
A shadow was watching them. He was clearly surprised. *Why is Angel with Spike? Why is Spike back? Why is Angel not acting like Angel?* He turned and ran away. *Gotta find Giles.*
The dark vampire asked his childe, "How do you feel?"
"I like it all."
He hooted in laughter, "See, I chose one. You couldn't?"
"Nah...."
"Giles?" Oz knocked on the door, not ceasing until the ex-Watcher opened the door, dressed in pajamas, "Oops."
"What's wrong?"
"Angel, he isn't Angel. Did he and Buffy---"
Giles cut him off, "Oh, yes, I was wondering how the curse held out. How was your trip?"
"The gig was good, but maybe I was needed here?"
Buffy appeared from behind Giles, "No, I think there was enough people," A smile cracked across the couple's faces. She smiled at the werewolf, "I wouldn't worry. I think things are going to work out."
"But, Angel.......he changed."
She nodded, "Yeah. I kinda noticed this morning."
"Is Willow around?"
"She's probably at Faith's."
"See ya!"
The girls were the first of the group to make it back to Faith's apartment. It was cleaner now, as Cordelia had told a few of her maids to go there. Faith flopped down in a chair, while Willow went for a beanbag pillow, and Cordy went straight to the kitchen.
"What do we want for dinner?"
"I dunno," Willow shrugged, "I haven't been to hungry lately."
Faith piped up, "I noticed. Everything Five by five? You hardly touched your Fruit Loops."
Willow colapsed, "Oz---" There was a knocking at the door, "Cordy, could you get that?"
"Oz," She peered through the peephole, "Is here."
Willow groaned, "Can I not be here?"
"Be strong. WE'll back up anything you say."
"Thanks, Faith," She walked over to the door, and opened it, "Hey, Oz," He kissed her lips lightly, "I missed you too.....wanna come in?"
He shook his head, "I didn't know you were close with Faith......or Cordelia."
Faith wrapped an arm around Willow, "Well, last night was a real changer," Cordelia stiffled a laugh, "We're all pretty chummy now."
"I noticed," He spoke softly, "And Buffy and Giles---"
"That was a long time coming," Willow protected the Slayer, "Besides, all the late nights together and close training.......Faith, back me up here."
Oz stopped her from speaking, "So what kind of party was it last night?" They blinked searching for answers, "Did we research bug demons, or break Angel's curse?"
"Oh," Willow shrugged it off, "That."
"Seems like a pretty big that to me."
Cordelia disappeared frm the group, and walked to the window which overlooked the front entrance of the apartment building. Two dark figures were making their way towards it. *One is blond.....gotta be Spike. Angelus is the other one. I mean, check out that still-angsty brood look thing going on.* She looked to the door, and still saw Oz talking to Willow and Faith. *This is not going to be good.*
"Well," Willow tried to end the conversation, feeling very awkward and very guilty, "I'm free tomorrow....how about we do something?"
"Cage day."
"Oh. Well, I'll be there to watch you."
Cordelia leaned against Faith, and whispered, "They're here."
The Slayer's eyes bugged out of their sockets, "Oh?" She only nodded, "Um, Willow, you still gotta show me that---"
"---hacking thing," Oz raised his eyebrows at Cordelia, who continued, "She was showing Faith how to use this great laptop, and well---"
"It's so cool," Faith lied, "I wanna learn as much as I can in one whole night."
He nodded, kissed Willow and left quietly. Willow fell against the door, after shutting it, and moaned, "That was horrible. How did you---" The door was being knocked upon again, "If that's him," She half-warned, opening the door, to see her favorite vampires standing there, "I'm so glad to see you both."
"That makes two more of us."
"Wolf-boy was here?" Willow nodded miserably, "Did you tell him?"
Faith protected Willow, "Did we tell him about the huge orgy I orchestrated, in attempts to hold up my end of a bargain I shared with Spike, and that you're definately changed, because of the instant happy HIS Willow gave you?"
"THat about sums it up."
"Oops," Cordelia shrugged, "We forgot. But, he does know you're not, um, uh," She struggled, "Soul-Boy."
"Oh well," Spike responded, "I guess he had to fnd out sooner er later."
"You want to go cruising?"
Willow smiled, "Where?"
Angelus shrugged, "I just got a new car today," Willow glared at him, "Bought and paid for," She relaxed, "And, it seats six. We're five. Maybe we'd take a vacation. L.A., or something?"
Faith looked to Cordy.
Willow smiled, "I could be persuaded."
"Good. Girls, pack your things. We're leaving tonight."
"For how long?"
He shrugged, "A week?"
Faith shook her head, walking to a shelf where some of her clothes rested, "Can't. Buffy might start worrying about me. Plus, I got slay duty next week."
"How about three days?"
They all agreed to Cordelia's compromise. Then, Willow looked up to Angelus, "I need to go home, and get some of my things. Cordy, too."
"I'll take QueenC," Spike teased her affectionately, "And you can take Red."
"Just gonna suggest that, Spikey. Faith, we'll be back in an hour."
"Five by five."
End Part 2
"This place IS the kick!" Faith flopped down on her bed in the penthouse, Cordelia at her heels.
"It is pretty nice," She smiled, dropping her bags on the floor, by the dresser, "I better start unpacking," Faith shook her head, "Why not?"
The Slayer took her hands in hers, "Let's go out. To the beach or something."
Cordy beamed happily, "Lemme change?"
"Sure," She agreed, "I want to, too."
Willow looked at Angelus, who was definately checking her out, "You're making me nervous."
"Is that a bad thing?" He approached her, nuzzling his nose in her hair, inhaling her sweet scent, while unbuttoning her top. She moaned erotically, as he placed a kiss on her bare shoulder. He looked up, studying her face, "I guess not."
She growled, "You tease."
He let the shirt fall to the floor, and continued to kiss her shoulders. the bra was unclasped, and it, too, hit the floor. She drew in a quick breath, as he captured her lips with his own. His hands held her relatively limp body close to his body. The skirt was the next thing to fall to the floor, leaving her in flipflops, and panties.
"Angelus," Willow panted, "I need to.....this isn't......" She struggled with her words, "I'm not sure."
he pulled back, relatively shocked, "Oh," He sniffed the air, "You seem pretty sure down there," She turned away, blushing wildly. He studied her expression, "Wanna talk?"
"Will you listen?"
"Yes."
She sighed, as he pulled her down into his lap, after he was seated on the bed, "I just feel that this sn't real. I know the other night was wild and crazy, and we were both under a strong influence," He nodded, "I just don't want to get hurt. We came here as a big group, and I can't help but feel---"
He cut her off, "Nothing will happen unless you want it."
"Okay. That helps."
"Can I kiss you?" She nodded, "Tell me to stop, and I will. Just like that, okay?" She nodded, closing her eyes, as his lips met hers. He didn't deepen the kiss, and after a few seconds, he pulled back, "That okay?" She nodded mutely, "Want me to keep going?"
"Uh huh."
He deepened the kiss this time, holding her much more firmly in his arms. Just as she was getting into a rhythm, he broke it off, "Want to stop?"
"You are cruising for a bruising, Buddy."
He chuckled, the laughter rumbling in his chest, "Good. Tell me when you've had enough."
"You actually think I'd do that?" He shrugged, as she demanded, "keep going."
"That's what I plan on doing."
"Wow," Cordelia breathed in the fresh, salty, night air, as the two girls walked hand in hand along the empty beach, "This is beautiful. Look at the moon."
Faith agreed,"It's nice, but," She flattered her companion, "You now what's really sweet?" She shrugged in reply, "Being here with you."
"Really?" She nodded, "Gee, Faith, I, um---"
"I'm sorry if that was out of line, I'm just sick of pretending everything's five by five, when in fact, I just feel sick when I think of you not with me."
"I liked it. Right on the line."
"Kiss me."
She smiled, pulling Faith in closer, "I'd be glad to."
"Ahem."
Willow pulled herself under Angelus, as Spike broke into their room, "Hey Spike."
"WOuld you two mind keeping it down?" He teased, "See, Red's really interupting my TV program with her little noises."
Angelus laughed, "C'mon in Spike."
"Thanks, mate."
"Angelus....." Willow whispered, "Are you serious?"
"Consort, childe, sire," He smiled, "It couldn't-wouldn't-get any better than this."
Spike joined them on the bed, after taking his red t-shirt off, and toeing his boots off his feet. Angelus positioned Willow in between them, as he leaned forward to kiss the other vampire. It wasn't about love with the males, just dominance and control. Willow shrunk into Angelus' form, as she watched them in a sort of amazement.
"One minute," Spike broke away, "Lemme see Red. I believe she is being neglected."
Willow was about to protest, but Spike covered her mouth with his own cold lips, his tongue dueling with hers, while Angelus strummed his fingers across her chest, teasing her further.
The hacker moaned into Spike's mouth, as she felt herself being lost completely in lust. Her familiar lover as now pressing on her clit with his thumb, inserting random fingers into her core every now and then. *This is insanity*
"Guys," She pulled back, "This is wild," They both grinned. First at each other, then at her, "And you should know that wild on e equals spaz."
Spike corrected, "Wild on you, it's sexy, Red."
"Spikey's right."
"Oh," She pouted, "I can't---" Angelus lowered his mouth onto her pussy, "Oh."
Spike grinned down at her, as he held her upright. She reached absentmindedly for Spike's bulging pants, and started to unzip the restraints. He stopped her, and then finished the job for her, removing the leather. Her nimble hands found what she was looking for, and immediately, she began strokinng his shaft.
"Red...." He purred, closing his eyes, as his hands squeezed her breasts. She moaned. It was too much, Angelus and Spike working on her at the same time. Not that she didn't like sex. Oz was great. *Oh, Oz. Wait a minute. Don't think about him.* But, it was Angelus and Spike that brought something out in her. Faith did that, too, but she sort of seemed to fit with Cordy, so Willow just didn't think about her as much. But this was crazy. There was no other way to describe it.
Cordelia was having an equally good time. Faith seemed to know exactly where to put her lips and hands, that Cordy seemed to be in a complete maddening haze.
"Faith, Faith, Faith," She mumbled her name over and over, "I can't take it anymore!"
She looked up from her work, and into Cordy's eyes, "Want me to stop?"
"No, damnit!!" She yelled, "I wanna cum!"
The Slayer grinned, "I think I can handle that."
End Part 3
"Wow, Xander," Willow gushed on the phone, "I'm sorry I couldn't make it. I really wish I was there........" She paused, and then asked, "How long do you think you'll be away?"
He wasn't sure, she could tell. It was in his voice, "Not long."
"Yeah, well, maybe I'll come up and visit you. If," She teased, "You and Wesley won't be too busy."
"Nah. I'd always be glad to see my Willow."
"Gee, Xan'."
"I am going to miss you."
Cordelia was waiting rather impatiently for the phone, "Can I talk now?"
Xander laughed, "Is that Cordy?"
Willow nodded, "Yeah, she wants to talk to you," Willow gave him verbal kisses goodbye, and then, she handed the phone over to her impatient friend. Angelus was in the shower, and Spike was sleeping. It was 10 in the morning, and Faith was eating breakfast. Willow flopped down in a chair next to her, and asked, "What are our plans for today -- or do you and Cordy have plans?"
Cordelia, who had just hung up the phone, looked at Faith, and then at Willow, "We have a plan for three."
"No sex."
"Really?" Willow was amazed, "What are these great plans??'
"Shopping."
The hacker groaned, "I should have known."
Faith stood up, and grabbed her bag, "Actually, we have a really brilliant plan," Willow urged them on, but she only said, "Can't talk about it here."
"Oh?"
"You think the leather will work out?" Willow twirled in the mirror, after trying on another outfit in the rstricting fabric, "And, can we tell me about the plan now?"
Cordelia rolled her eyes, "You thought we had a plan? Remember ebola-box?" Willow nodded, "That was the extent of my plans. WE just wanted you to dress more like your bedmate."
"But, he looks good in leather, and it just doesn't suit me."
"C'mon," Faith cajoled her, "We're all buying something we don't usually wear. I'm trying Cordy's style. She's going to try yours, and you get to try my preferences."
"Why?"
Cordy laughed, "To have fun, silly. And, the Watcher's council is paying for this, so lets have some fun, okay?"
"Okay!"
Willow led the group back to the penthouse that evening, the trio in high hopes for some fun activity, and a great reaction from Angelus and Spike when they saw Willow. The red head, however was very uneasy. She had an odd feeling about coming back tonight. *Maybe they won't be here. Maybe they decided they liked each other more than me, or us, or whatever, and---*
"Open the door, WIll'."
"Yeah, yeah," She opened the door, and saw a horrific sight. The other two girls gasped.
Drusilla, was between the two male vampires, kissing one, and scratching the other. That trio stopped the minute they girls entered. Willow raced past them, and into the room she was supposed to share with Angelus.
"Willow!" Angelus pleaded, banging on the door, "Willow!"
"I don't want to hear your flimsy excuses!" She threw her clothes into her bags, and imediately opened the door. She looked into his eyes. He could see how hurt she was, and for a minute, the demon knew true pain. He looked back to Faith for help, but she shrugged, as did Cordy, for they were flabbergasted. Willow was just upset, "I'm not supposed to trust you. I mean, this was all in fun. Just sex. Just a vacation. But...didn't I deserve an explanation?!"
He didn't answer.
"Fine," She stormed past him, picking up her purse on her way to the door, "I'm leaving. Don't you dare ocme after me."
"I won't --- unless you really want me to."
"Oh, you'd love to be a hero, wouldn't you? Demon turned Romantic-Gentle-Caring hero. I can just see the headlines," She turned to Cordy and Faith, "I'll call you when you get back to Sunnydale."
"Will---" Angelus' voice was cut off by the door. Willow leaned against the wall in the hallway, and sobbed.
Faith opened the door, and walked out, "Where are you---" Willow shot her an angry look, "Hey, hey, free agent. He didn't send me. Not this quick. I'm here because I care."
"I think I'll---" She tsopped short, "I don't know. I was going to visit Xander, but he'll be with Wesley the Woman screamer, and I just don't want to---"
Faith cut her off, "Go up there, and when you're coming back, call me. You can stay with me and Cordy. We'll pick you up."
"Thanks. You think I should go?"
She nodded, "He'd be glad to have a friend. I think you need one, too."
"Thanks, Faith."
End Part 4
Xander hugged his friend, "Willow!" He spoke into her hair, "I'm so glad you're here," He pulled back, and studied her expression, "What happened to you?"
"It was just horrible."
"Wanna talk about it?"
"On the way to your place."
"Faith!" Angelus banged on the apartment door, "Is Willow in there?"
She opened the door, "For the very last time, no she's not. She left for good. About as fast as Spike and Dru did."
"Do you know where she went?"
"I can't tell you. YOu both need to cool off," He started to brood, "And would you cut that out? Brooding is not going to help you win her back. She needs a lot. We all need a lot. Give and take, man. I'm just starting to learn that myself. And if I needed to learn that, you definately did."
He nodded, "I know. I just miss holding her so fucking much."
"And, about the lay...."
"YOu know I fucking miss that too!"
"I think you need to find her, and tell her."
"That's impossible. She doesn't want me after her."
"You are changing," Faith remarked, "YOU don't kill."
"I still could."
"But it's not in you."
"I know."
Cordelia showed up, wrapping her hand in Faith's, "This is hard on her. She wants love, you want sex," He bowed his head, thinking hard, "Don't brood. That was for your soul."
He looked up, "You know, sometimes, I feel like I still have it. But, I know I'm just getting soft. Agreeing to not kill Buffy?" Faith shrugged, "That wasn't the old me. There are so many things that I used to enjoy---killing senselessly, for example---that I don't anymore."
"Why?"
He shrugged, "I half think that it's Willow. She's softened me. I changed, for her."
"Do you love her?"
"You can't really ask me that."
"Maybe you should go after her," Cordelia suggested, "I mean, she clearly feels something for you, or she wouldn't have gotten that upset when she saw you and Psycho together."
"Can you tell me where she went?"
"Can we, Cordy?"
The May Queen nodded, "To visit Xander, and Wesley."
Angelus hugged them both in a moment of pure emotion, "Thanks."
After he left, Cordelia remarked, "He has changed."
"Uh huh," Faith nodded, "A lot."
Angelus was standing outside the country house, shaking. He was clearly nervous, and he didn't know if Willow would accept his appology. Xander certainly wouldn't. And, he felt that since it was Willow he had hurt, Xander was going to need an explanation, too. *I still don't know why I was with Dru. She doesn't even remotely turn me on.*
He knocked on the door with the hand that wasn't holding the two dozen roses. Wesley came to the door, and upon seeing his least-favorite demon on the doorstep, he screamed. Long and shrill. Angelus threw his head back and laughed. *Like a woman*
Xander rushed out, Willow at his heels, "Wes', you ok---" He stopped short, "What are you doing here?"
"I came to talk with Willow."
She jutted her chin out defensively, "What if I don't want to talk with you."
He pleaded somewhat confidently, "Then let me talk to you. Please?" He extended his hand as far as the boundry would go, and just waited for her.
"Lemme get my coat."
"I'll be out in the garden."
Willow came out to meet him ten minutes later. He handed her the flowers, "Here. I know it's not good enough, but i thought they'd help."
"They do."
Meanwhile, Spike and Dru were driving across the Canadian border. Spike knew he had to get out of that crazy hellmouth. Dru came back for him. His Princess had returned. He felt bad for the way Dru used her magick to seduce 'Daddy', and for how hurt Red was when she came back. He certainly burned bridges there. Faith wouldn't let him live if they ever crossed paths again.
"Spike," Dru whispered, "Where are we going?"
"A nice quiet, cold place."
"Oooh," She puased, as if listening to the air, "You know Daddy is with that girl right now?" He hsook his head, praying for things to go back the way they were, "They're talking about what happened the bad night."
He nodded, as he pulled into a motel, "C'mon, Luv, let's go get a room."
Angelus looked at Willow, "I don't quite know what happened," He told her, as she prodded him to keep explaining, "Dru said something like 'Be in me.', and that was it."
"You think Dru brainwashed you?" He shrugged, as she giggled, "Good one."
He protested, "Then explain it. I don't even remember where these scratches came from. All I know is that the thought of her makes me even colder. She doesn't turn me on at all. I would've let Spike have her. She completely depletes my sexual desire."
"Oh?"
"That's why I know I wouldn't. You're the only one I want, or need," He took her hand in his, massaging it gently, "YOU're the only one that turns me on."
She rolled her eyes, "I knew this was just about sex."
"I don't know what to do. All I have is this compelling desire to make it right with you."
"Well," She spat out, "When you do know what to do, you'll know where to find me."
"Willow!" He cried out, anguished, as he watched her flee. He dropped his head, and leaned against the fence. *What am I going to do now?*
The End
