"Megan! get your ass in here right now!"
"But mom!!"
"Now"
"But..."
"NOW!"
"OK!" Megan grudgenly said goodbye to her friends, making sure to take her time with each one, making sure she said goodbye properly. Buffy leaned back in her seat gratefully, Megan had some attitude on her and Buffy was ready to have a full-out war with her daughter before she finally relented. Buffy remembered way back when she rebelled her own mother, especially with curfews. Ha! What was she kidding, Buffy was always home on time, she just climbed out her bedroom window when she knew her mother wasn't listening. Buffy was glad Megan didn't have the responsibilities she had, being a Slayer was tough work, but being a Slayer AND a teenager was even worse! Thank god she had Willow thats all she could say.
Megan opened the paasenger door, climbed in, then closed it behind her.
"No slam? No shouting at your poor mother about why she's so unreasonable?" Buffy asked
"Nope."
Buffy looked at Megan with suspicion. "No wishing you had different parents? No "why is life so unfair?"
"Nah-huh!"
"What do you want missy? I don't have any money you know that what with me not being able to do night-work 'cause of the patrolling and your mother only getting a teacher's salery..."
"No mom, I don't need any money." Megan looked down at her lap, obviousy ready to say something completely embarassing, Buffys heart clenched in fear.
"Your not pregnant are you?"
"NO! Monm jeez!!"
"Then what? Just come out with it I want to get home!"
"You see that guy over there." Megan slightly pointed her finger to a boy who was play fighting to one of his friends.
"Where? Who?" Buffy asked loudly, then pointing to the play fighter asked; "HIM? WHO HIM?"
"Mom! Put ya hand down for god's sake!!"
"Oh yeah sorry. What about him?"
"He's my boyfriend."
"Oh really." Buffy cast a critical eye over the boy. He was tall and toned, bleach-blond hair and a cute smile, her daughter had taste she could give her that, but seriously? Play-fighting? Surely he must be the same age as Megan, why would a 16 year old boy still be playfighting? Seemed slightly immature to Buffy. Staring directly at him Buffy thought to herself 'I'm not sure I like this boy. Sure he seems playfull and completely normal, not to mention cute. But what does he have hiding? Could be a vampire for all we know! A demon! Yep, he's probably a demon in beach-boy human form. I mean why else would he wear those flip-flops with those red shorts? And that shirt? So cliche! Thats it, a bad-fashioned sense demon ready to take over the world and then bring my daughter down to his hell dimension for his demon bride!'
"Mom! Quit staring!"
"Oh sorry, listen I don't think much of this boy i think..."
"He's secretly a demon ready to take me for his demon bride?"
"You think so too?!"
"No mom you say that ALL the time! He's not a demon!"
"Well you can't be too careful. Anyway, why are you so shy about telling me this? I mean its not as if he's your first boyfriend."
"He doesn't know about... well about you and mom being...well...together."
"He doesn't know were LESBIANS?!"
"MOM! Will you please be quiet!!!"
"I DIDN'T THINK YOU WERE EVER ASHAMED OF US!! SURE YOU GOT PICKED ON A LITTLE BUT I SORTED THAT OUT...."
"SHHHHHHHH!!!!" Megan covered her mothers mouth with her hand "Lets just drive, I'll tell you he story on the way home..."
