Note – This would be about the 4th Season, and
this would be set in my alternate fantasy world were BUFFY AND ANGEL CAN HAVE
SEX, HE NEVER WENT AWAY TO L.A., AND RILEY’S A BIG FAT JERK THAT NOBODY LIKES.
Oh and the movie, Much to do About
Nothing , great movie I recommend every one watch it. No strike that I’m
ordering everyone to watch it. So there.
Special
Thanx – As always special thanks to my “Anime girl”, and
to my boy Demon Cat3 who has bugged me to write a sleep-over story for the past
two months, so I finally sat my ass down and wrote it. But only because he has
recently come down with the flu and is unable to help me write, feel better
baby.
Rough
Night
"Gods! Could it be
possible for Riley to be any more of a pain in the ass?!" (Angel looked
up from his book and sighed.) “What did he do this time. ” (He asked as
his slayer plopped herself on his lap.) “Oh, you won’t believe this! Not
only does he let the demon I was about to behead get away but then he has the
nerve to say it was my fault! I’m the slayer! This is my job not his! Grrrrr.”
"I'm sorry
baby." (Angel said giving her soft kiss.)
"Thank you" (She
said kissing him back.) "I’m just so sick of this crap. I mean if it’s
not Riley and the initiative, it’s some new demon, or if not that then my
parents……"
"Your parents. What
did they do now?" (She threw up her arms in annoyance) “The
question is what didn’t they do. Honestly when there not bitchen at me about
school, they’re yelln about you.” (She immediately regretted saying that
when she saw the hurt look cross Angels face.) “Honey I didn’t mean…… It’s
just ever since Spike decided to blab to my mom about our sex life they’ve been
a little ife about you.” “They hate me.” (He stated sadly) “They don’t
hate you. Just give it a little more time.” “Like with the others?” “What are you
talking about?! Willow, Oz, and Xander love you!” “Maybe.” “What do ya mean
maybe?” “Let’s face it beloved, my people skills suck. I didn’t even have that
many friends when I was human.” *Poor
Angel. He’s been so up set lately.* (She suddenly got what in her mind was a
great idea.) “Hey I know what’ll cheer you up!” (He looked at his
girlfriend reluctantly) “What?” “A sleep-over!” (Angel got a devilish
look on his face, miss understanding his lovers statement) “Oh that could
be fun.” (He said smoothly, pulling Buffy further up on his lap when, Buffy
suddenly realized what he though she had meant.) “Oh no! Don’t get me wrong
or any thing, I’m not saying I don’t love our own private sleep-overs but I was
talking more along the lines of a group thing.” (She stared at the
dumbfounded look on her boyfriends face.) “Ya know, movies, junk food,
sleeping bags, pillow fights?” “Um, no.” “You’ve never heard of a sleep-over?” (He
slowly shook his head no waiting for her to explain.) “Oh brother! Okay,
you get a bunch of you friends to come over and spend the night. Then you stay
up all night watching trashy movies, and pigging out on junk food, and normally
there’s a pillow and silly string fight involved at some point in night.”
“Oh….. but when exactly are you planing on having this thing?” “Tomorrow! My
parents are going up to Benton to see my Aunt who’s sick. It’s a five-hour
drive so they’re going to spend the night and come back the next day. See it
all works. Okay?” (He looked at the hopeful and determined expression on her
face.) ”I don’t actually have a say
in this do I?” “Not a chance.” (He sighed giving up) “Okay..Um Buffy,
just one question. Why is it called a sleep-over, if nobody sleeps?” “Angel!”
“What?” (Letting out an annoyed sigh she stood pull him up with her.) “Come
on.” “Where are we going?” “I have to go home before my mom has a fit, and your
gonna walk me in case I run into Riley again. I’m going to need some one there
to keep me from killing him.”
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"A sleep-over hu?
And I suppose Dead-boy will be attending.” (This was answered by a hard
smack from both Buffy and Willow) “OW! Was that necessary?” “Apparently
so.” (Oz said in his every body mellow voice) “How many times have I
told you not to call him that?!” “I don’t know let’s all count the bruises and
scars on my body and find out?!” “Can we get back to the sleep-over issue?” (Willow
always the voice of reason.) “Absolutely. So are you guys in. Please,
please, be in.” “Will there be food of the junk variety?” “Of course Xander.”
“And movies with questionable morals and special effects?” “Yes Xander.” (Willow
broke in before Xander could ask any thing else.) “Of course we’re in
Buffy.” (Oz gave a quick nod to show her agreed with his girl friend.) “Right
Xander.” (Willow gave him a sharp pock in the ribs with her elbow.) “What?
Oh ya, sure Buff… Just so long as you don’t spend the whole night getten pelvic
with Angel…OW!” “Now you definitely deserved that one.” Come on we’re gonna be
late for class.” (Buffy let out a loud groan of annoyance.) “Great just
what I want to do this morning, sit in a class and watch Riley student teach.
Like he’s just Mr. Know it all.” “I take it you had another little run in with
the initiative last night?” “You take it right.” “Well look at it this way
Buffy, just two more classes then quality time with Angel.” (Buffy gave her
friend a small smile) “Thanks Will.” “Besides Buff, we can always pass the
time by throwing spit balls at him and his military buddies.” “Xander! I’m
surprised at you………… Spit balls are for ammeters.” (She held up a bag of
gummy bears.) “We’re professionals.” (They headed off to class receiving
glances from the other collage students, as they laughed their heads off.)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Come on! Hurry up
Angel!" (Buffy tugged impatiently on his arm. Trying to motivate him to
walk fast. Good motivation, go faster, or loss your right arm. This had not
been how he intended to spend Thursday night.) "Buffy slow down! The foods still going to be there whether
we arrive at 5:50 or 6:00.” (Angel stated wearily, as he tried to keep up
with his girlfriend.) “Come on! The others are going to be over at my house
in one hour! I got the tapes this morning after class with Willow but we still
have to get the food!” “Why didn’t you just get the food when you got the
tapes?” (The Super Market finally coming into view.) “ Because I wanted
you to come with.” “Oh… Why?” (She stopped and gave him an exasperated look)
“Because it’s ‘a couple thing’ to do and we’re a couple.” “We are?” (He
was going to tease her some more when she shut him up with a long slow kiss.) “Yes,
we are.” “Well then let’s go get your food.”
(As they walked in Angel
surveyed the oversized store in slight amazement. He had never been here
before, buying his blood from the butcher shop, and not needing to eat and all,
the occasion to come here had never arose. Buffy must have noticed his
bewilderment because she started to giggle at him as she went to get a cart.) “Did
they not have grocery stores in your day?” (He was still staring in
amazement as Buffy started to lead him down the candy isle.) “Not like
this.” “Well then this will be a fun new experience for you won’t it. Just
watch the master.” (Angel watched as she quickly grabbed a bag of chocolate covered
peppermints, two bags of Oreos, and about ten Hershey and KitKat bars.)
“Um. I don’t suppose your planning on buying any thing with nutritional value
in it?” (Buffy looked back at him as she started to head down the next aisle
grabbing various things as she went.) “Oh no, don’t worry, not a chance.”
(Angel sighed to him
self, and reluctantly followed. That’s his girlfriend. A few minutes later they
were standing in the middle of the drink aisle arguing loudly.)
“I don’t know, just pick some thing.” “But every one likes something different! Xander likes Coke, Will
likes Sprite, Oz…. Well Oz really doesn’t care, and you…” “And I want blood.”(He
said it rather off handily, and loudly, not really thinking about the other
people in the aisle.) “Angel!” (She gave a nervous smile to the two
women and their husbands, who were standing beside her.) “Ha, he’s kidding,
little game we play…” (Turning to Angel and hissing) “But not in
public.” (He was about ready to apologize to her and go with her story about
it being a game when the two couples deciding they didn’t really care to know
casually walked away.) “Honestly, I can’t take you any where can I?!” (He
gave her his famous I’m a hurt puppy expression) “Don’t you give me that
look.” (But her face softened) “I’m sorry…… I just wasn’t thinking, I
mean this is Sunnydale, I’d be surprised if they weren’t aware Vampires really
existed……… I’m reallllly sorry.” (This was enough to gain her forgiveness.) “Well
okay. Just don’t do it again.” (She gave him a quick kiss to seal the deal.)
“Promise. Cross my heart and hope to…… Well I promise.” “Which leads us back to
the first problem, what kind of pop do we get.” “Look I really don’t have an
opinion, just so long as it’s any thing besides Jo-“ “Jolt!” (Buffy cried
holding up two six packs of the caffinated sugar water.) “Oh no, For the
love of the Gods Buffy, and my sanity, please not Jolt.” (She gave him her
pouty I’m not a happy slayer look.) “But I like Jolt. It’s the drink of
champions.”
“No it’s the drink of
insomniacs.” “Well you owe me for that whole blood fiasco so there.” (Deciding
it was a battle he was destined to loss he took the two six packs and put them
in the cart.) “Can we go now?” “No we still need junk food.” “What do you
call all that?” (He asked pointing to the cart full of cookies, chocolate,
and soda pop.) “That’s just the sugar stuff and chocolate stuff, we still
need chips, dip, and popcorn…… oh and pizza rolls we have to have pizza rolls!”
“Pizza rolls? What exactly is that?” (She gave him another one oh her duh
looks that he hated so much.) ”You go get the chips and I’ll go get the
pizza rolls and popcorn……… It’d be in that aisle over there.” (She pointed
out when he started glancing around.) “Oh ya, I knew that.” (Even though
he truly didn’t. Buffy sighed and headed for the next aisle over, as Angel
stared overwhelmed at all the chips.)
*I am so in over my
head.* "What kind of chips do you want me to grab?! Gods do people really
eat this many chips?" (Buffy glanced at him from the next aisle)
*The guy’s two hundred and forty seven and he can’t pick out a bag of chips. I
give up.* "What ever looks the cheesest and has the most calories!" (Angel
scanned the selection again.)
*I’m a two-hundred and
forty seven year old vampire who was once known as the scourge of Europe, and
here I stand trying to pick out chips for a sleep-over with the slayer and her
human friends. No wonder no demons want to associate with me.* (He was so
lost in his thoughts that he didn’t even hear Buffy come up behind him, having
successfully gotten her pizza rolls and popcorn.) “Oh honestly, Angel.” (She
quickly grab two super sized bags of chips, one Doritos, the other Sour Cream
and Onion, and tossed them on top of the other junk food in the cart.) “Ready
to go?” “Gods yes!” (Thankfully they found a checkout with no line. And were
finally out of there)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
(When Buffy and Angel
finally arrived back at her house they found that they were a little too
late. Willow, Oz, and Xander were
sitting on the porch waiting impatiently.) “Opps hi guys.” “Ya know it’s not considered
customary for the person throwing the party to not be there.” "I'm here!
I’m just a little late.” “But the point is you’re here now. And so is Angel.”
“Yes, well, we had a little problem with
the chips.” (She gave Angel a ‘you know what I’m talken about’ glance.) "What kind of problem?" (Angel
mumbled something in Celtic) “Can we go in now?” “Oh ya sure, here hold
this.” (She handed her bag of groceries to Xander and unlocked the door. Once
inside Xander and Angel headed for the kitchen to put the bags down.)
"Can we eat now?
I'm hungry!" “Your always hungry.” “Who asked you Dead-boy?” (Buffy
taking charge of the situation before some one got killed, namely Xander.) “Okay
that’s enough you two. There’s food in the bags, help your self… Oh and stick
those pizza rolls in the oven while your at it.” “Sure thing Buff.” (The boy
had already opened the Doritos and shoved seven chips in his mouth.)
“Your disgusting.” “This
from a guy who drinks blood.” (Angel let out a low deep-throated growl and
was most likely going to kill the teenager had Buffy not stepped in again.
Wrapping her arms around Angel’s waist she gently restrained him. ) “Now,
now. There will be no bloodshed tonight. Got it?” “Can I just maim him a
little?” “Mhmm, no. Now every one in the living room so we can start the
movies.” (They all claimed their spots. Xander on the floor with his bag of
chips and several KitKat bars, Willow and Oz snuggled up together on the couch,
while Buffy strategically placed herself on Angels lap in the recliner.) “So
what movie are we watching?” “I don’t know Willow picked it out.” “Will?” (She
was fiddling with the volume as it started.) “What?” “Don’t keep us in
suspense Will, what are we watchen?” “Well, it’s kind of Shak.s.p…..” (Every
one looked at her.) “It’s what?” “Shaksphere.” “Oh, Willow come on.” (Thankfully
Angel jumped in) “Hang on a second before you start wining Xander. What
movie is it exactly?” “Much to do About Nothing.” (Angel believe it or not
actually smiled) “Really?! I love that movie! We’ve definitely got to watch
this!” “Oh Gods, a movie dead-boy likes, no good can come from this.” “Can it
Xander! If Angel and Willow say it’s a good movie then I say we give it a
chance.”
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"That was lame. All
those people did was dress up in frumpy costumes and dance around like they
over dosed on Demerol.” “Well there were those guys on the invisible horses.”
"Oh come on Xander it wasn’t that bad." “Ya I kind of liked it.”
Xander got up from the array of candy wrappers and empty soda cans and rewound the tape. “So what do we do now?” “Well why don’t we play a game?” “Okay, what does everybody want to play?” “How bout…… strip sharads!” Everyone turned to stare at Xander. “What?!” “Strip Shards, it’s like when you’d normally play sharads but then if someone losses they have to take off a piece off clothing.” “I don’t think so Xander.” “Yeah, I gotta go with Willow on this one, I really suck at sharads.” “Aw, come on Buff.” “No try something else.” Xander defeated, sunk back down on the floor and opened another KitKat bar. “We could have a pillow fight!” Buffy quickly jumped up at this. “Yeah! Great idea Will! Angel, why don’t you and Oz go and scrounge up the pillows from up stairs, and we’ll get the ones down here.” Angel watched curiously as Buffy and Willow bonded around the room excitedly. “Oh, okay. Come on Oz.” “K.” A few minutes later everyone had reconvened back in the living room, arms full of pillows. “So, now what?” Angel asked his girlfriend. “Now… this!” Before he knew what hit him, Buffy had thrown a large pillow, smacking him right in his face. “Hey!” She took off laughing at his uncertainty of what to do. Oh course by this time Xander, Willow, and Oz had all followed the slayers lead, smacking each other with the array of fluffy cushions. “They’re all nuts.”
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
“Well, that was fun.” The ‘pillow war’ had lasted a grand total of thirty-five minutes, and most likely would have been longer had it not been for Buffy and Angels pillows breaking open and an array of feathers exploding around the room. “I guess we tend to play a little to hard.” His slayer commented between her fits of laughter. “Well, now what do we do?” “Well how about…………… Truth or dare?” “Yeah! Way to go Will!” “Yeah! Truth or Dare!” “Ya we have to play Truth or Dare! (Buffy cried jumping about a foot in the air.) *Oh no, they’re all hyped up on Jolt and sugar and they want to play truth or dare. Maybe if I could just find a sharp piece of wood…..* “Come on Angel Truth or Dare?” (He stared stupidly at his girlfriend.) “What?” “Truth or dare?” “Um, Buffy I really don’t want to..” “Oh come on Angel.” “Ya Dead-boy! Be a sport.” *Gods I’m gonna regret this.* “Okay, dare.” “Um, okay…… let’s see.” (It was very likely she couldn’t think straight from the caffeine and sugar buzz she was on.) “Oh I know! I know! Okay, I dare you to take off all your clothes and go jump in the lake!” (This of course sent every one into a fit of giggles.) “What?! Beloved even if I would consider doing that, you seem to forget that you don’t have a lake in your house.” “Well we can always substitute lake for pool.” “Ya you can jump in the pool!” “That doesn’t seem like much of a dare.” “Ah, but you for get that it is about 40 degrees out side.” “And the whole naked thing.” “Excuse me! But do I have a say in this?!” “nope.” “I am not jumping into your pool, naked, at 10:30, in 40 degrees weather!” “Oh come on Angel, play along.” “Ya Angel.” “Come on Angel!” (His slayer pouted at him.) “Oh come on it’s not like I haven’t seen you naked before.” “Well ya but…… they haven’t… and it’s cold out side… and I’m tired…………” (He gave her his own pouty puppy dog look.) “Oh come on.” “No I’m not doing it and none of you can say any thing to change my mind.”
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
“I can’t believe I’m doing this.” “Believe it.” “Wohoo!” “Ya!”(Here it was almost 11:00 and he was standing at the edge of Buffys swimming pool, naked, freezing his…… well freezing, and listening to the cat calls of his ‘friends’.) “Jump!” “Jump!” “Jump!” “Might as well get this over with.” (Quickly running over the ways to hurt them all, he took a deep unneed breath, and dove straight into the ice cold water.) “Wohooo!” (They all broke into a fresh course of calls and cheers as he reemerged quickly pulling him self out of the water. Thankfully Buffy was right there holding a large, warm, fluffy towel that she immediately wrapped around him, deciding it was to cold out side to play any more Buffy merely swept him up in her arms and carried him back into the house.) “Th..than.k.k..s.” “Awww, my baby’s cold. Here let Buffy warm you up.” (Willow brought him another towel, to dry his sopping wet hair, while Buffy cuddled him on the couch.) “Feel better?” (He slowly nodded yes and snuggled up closer to Buffy, who had pulled a big comforter over them both.) “Good.” “I think it’s only fair that Angel pick the next game.” “Mhmmm, I just wantta sleep.” “Aww sleeps no fun.” “Fine. Then I want to play truth or dare still.” “Really?” “Yup.” “Okay then it’s your turn so go ahead.” (Angel quickly lifted his head off Buffys shoulder so he could glance at his prey.) “Xander. Truth or dare?” “What me? ! Why me? Buffys the one that made you jump in the pool naked.” “Come on Xander answer him.” “Oh fine, dare.” “Oh brave lad aren’t you. Okay I dare you to, dress up in one of Buffys dresses, put on her make-up and those black leather hooker boots she has, then go next door and ask for a cup of sugar.” “What!? I’m not doing that!!” “Those aren’t hooker boots!” “Come on Xander you have to!” “We made Angel do his.” “Come on Xander.” “Ya be a sport.” “Come on!” “No way! There is no way in hell I’m doing that!”
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
“I can’t believe I’m doing this.” (Boy what a sight he
was. The girls had put on Buffys bright red lipstick and blue sparkly eye
shadow. Then he had with great difficulty found one of Buffys dresses that he
could actually get into, thankfully though her black high-heeled boots hadn’t
fit.) *Thank the gods for small favors* (It had seriously been a riot
when he had come down stairs. Angel who was still laying on the couch naked,
well except for the towel and comforter had nearly fallen off and on top of
Willow who was having her own fit of giggles on the floor under him. Then the
whole group minus Angel who had stated ‘that there was no way he was going back
out side tonight’ had walked over to Buffys next door neighbors house. Where
they now hide in the bushes watching him.) “Well might as well get this
over with.” (He quickly knocked on the door.) “Oh well nobody’s home
what a shame.” (But just as he turned to go a very sleepy looking woman
opened the door.) “Yes can I help………” (The look on her face was
priceless. And even though he couldn’t hear them he’d bet any thing that his
‘friends’ were laughen their asses off.) “Um, yes, I’m sorry to bother you
but do you by any chance… um… you see I …… Oh never mined, sorry to bother
you.” (He practically bond back to Buffys house, the others following closely
behind.) “Well how did it go?” (Angel asked sleepily from the couch,
when he heard them enter.) “Oh, you seriously should have been there!” “It
was pretty priceless.” “Mhhmm.” “I hate to say it but I think Angels got the
right idea.” (The slayer stated while stiffing a yawn.) Why don’t we all
get ready for bed.” (The sugar and caffeine finally wearing off, they all
agreed. Especially Xander who was more then eager to change out of his get up.)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
(About twenty minutes later everyone was back in the living room. Buffy had curled up on the couch again next to her now sleeping Angel, while Oz and Xander lye snoring on each side of Willow on the mountain of blankets they had spread out over the floor.) “Hey Buffy.” “Ya Will?” “We should do this more often.” (Buffy quietly started to giggle.) “I don’t know if the boys would agree with you on that.” (This of course set her off giggling quietly too.)
“I don’t know, Angels got a pretty cute butt.” “He, he, he, his butt wasn’t exactly what I was concentrating on.” “Buffy!..Good night Buffy.” “Good night Willow”
The End
