Summary: Giles has cast a spell for all the Scooby's to access each others dreams and thoughts, hopefully to help each other and develop their lives.
Chapter One:
"Does he ever be quiet, even when he's sleeping?" Buffy asked the not so quiet Magic Box.
The snoring from the sleeping male was starting to get on her nerves, Xander had been asleep for an hour now, books piled around him and drool slinking from his open mouth. Giles wasn't back yet and Buffy knew when Giles was going to get back he was going to be angry. But Xander needed to sleep, that was an accuse not to wake him and just sit back, put her feet up and watch the show.
The bells above the door rung as it opened and Buffy looked over her shoulder, flashing a smile at Anya as she approached Buffy. Buffy turned the page of the thick book she was reading, that Giles recommended reading. He was going on another camping trip for around three months and he insisted that she caught up on the demon knowledge. Everyone else agreed, damn people... they should be doing this!
"How long has he been sleeping? He is ruining Rupert's lovely books..." Anya complained poking Xander gently on the shoulder, he snorted and turned his head the other way, his snoring louder.
"Thanks Anya and around, an hour? Got here just after me, sat down opened a book next thing I know..." Buffy snorted, shrugging before turning back to her book.
"Oh well, keeps him quiet"
Buffy rose a brow, laughing slightly, what does quiet mean to the woman? Buffy absently shook her head looking down to the picture of the scaly looking demon on the page.
"Where's everybody else?" Buffy asked not leaving the pages.
"Oh helping Gile's pack his stuff, I made an excuse of um... the plague? Yeah I said the plague..." Anya bit down on her lip, thinking. "He didn't believe me, so I said lack of orgasms and he took of his glasses and cleaned them again before telling me I could go"
"The plague? Yes the orgasm thing is believable coming from your mouth. But the plague? Well believable if you live on the hell mouth. Which we do so..." Buffy rolled her eyes turning the page over in her book.
"Yes well... I was going to go with... Oh they are here!" Anya chirped before dropping her gaze down to Xander. "What do you think Gile's is going to do?"
Buffy in that time had turned the book over and set it down on the table careful not to lose her page before standing and sitting on the edge of the table, before glancing back to Anya and shrugging.
"I don't know, read from a book and make him listen? Or make tea for a year or have Spike tied up in his flat"
"No!" Anya interrupted, "He just got that flat, Spike is not going to be there while we're making noises and having hot, sweaty, monkey sex."
Buffy gave a disgusted expression before looking towards Giles, Willow and Tara.
"All set?" Buffy asked, straightening up and taking a few steps forward.
"Yes, I am set. Just spent the last ten minutes..." Giles shook his head, a sad tone in his voice.
"What?"
"Listening to them giggle and talk about Barbie and the bloody nutcracker"
"Hey! We were talking offensive against it!" Willow spoke up defensively. "Not like we have watched it or anything!" well that didn't work; I would have had to watch it to have talked offensively about it. Damn excuses! Willow looked up at Buffy and blushed, Buffy just simply giggled muttering a sarcastic, 'right'.
"Oh dear Lord" All eyes were drawn towards Giles as he stood above Xander.
"Don't hurt him!" Anya shouted running around to stand between Giles and the sleeping Xander, "Or... Just don't make Spike stay in the apartment while we have sweaty fun!"
Xander grunted again and turned around, his eyes fluttering slightly, "...Wha' the?"
"You drooled on my books... He drooled on my books. Drooled on my books! That's simply not aloud... I mind cup rings..."
Willow coughed slightly.
"Ok, I don't. But not spit!" Giles complained, grabbing a book and moving to hit Xander. Not intending for it to be hard. Anya stepped towards him.
"Move Anya or I will go for that Spike plan" Anya happily stepped to the side and Giles dropped the book, smacking Xander across the back of the head with the back of his head.
"Sorry!" Xander stated, shielding himself from any more hits. "Sorry, no Spike!"
"We'll see about that" Tara smiled, giggling slightly.
"Giles..." Willow started but was interrupted by the bell ringing. They all turned to look, Dawn.
"Hey guys, Giles weren't you supposed to be gone like, ten minutes ago?" The brunette asked innocently.
"Oh yes, well, quick byes... Please refrain from crying... Or drooling on my books!"
Xander blushed, smiling nervously before standing with everybody else, they all crowded around Giles and one by one gave him a small hug and told him how much they would miss him.
"Well, be good. Try not to die and if any of you do. Don't tell me till i get back" Giles smirked closing the Magic Box door and heading across the street.
"Well, that was fun" Buffy smiled.
"Yes watching my little baby get smacked across the head was fun" Anya laughed, snapping her mouth shut when she saw Xander shooting daggers, "Joke sweetie" She pat his thigh, giving him a sympathetic gaze before looking back to the group.
"Ok research, that demon thing... That you were researching Buffy" Xander waved towards her books before picking up the one he had been reading before he fell asleep.
"Yeah and can anybody tell me why Dawn is here?" Buffy asked, avoiding the glare from her sister and looking around the group.
"Ha ha... Mom sent me she needed to go out. Dropped me off further down the street"
"Why didn't she just come down to the shop?" The slayer asked.
"I asked the same thing, something to do with no turn down here leading to the place she had to go." Dawn sat down at the table beside Willow and Anya.
"Research" Tara mumbled, forcing a small smile and grabbing the closest book.
*Four hours later*
"Nyaa..." Buffy whined dropping the book on the table and letting her head fall to the surface.
"I know what you mean," Willow grumbled, lifting her head from the counter work surface.
"We haven't found anything and them two are... Pathetic!"
Xander was half splayed across the table, fast asleep and snoring his heart out. Anya had a few chairs in a line and was laying across them her head resting on the very edge of the table. Joyce had picked up Dawn and Tara had gone for some witchy business.
Picking up the plastic cup Buffy raised it to her lips and took a sip of her hot coco.
"I'm bored" Willow spoke, breaking the horrible silence.
"Aren't we all?" Buffy drawled sarcastically. Placing the cup down and leaning back in her chair.
"Well, do you want to train for a bit? That might help. Or go patrolling?" The witch suggested.
"Is it really dark already?" The slayer turned to look out the store windows and sighed, turning back.
"So d'you wanna?" Willow asked again, walking towards the table and sitting beside the chosen one.
"I don't know--" Buffy saw the look on Willow's face and sighed, "--Yeah, why not? Lets go patrolling"
*In the cemetery*
"This is good! Better then being cooped up inside the Magic Box all night, as usual" Willow sighed talking a seat on a gravestone.
"Yep, this is good." Buffy watched the red head.
She was greatly fond of Willow, having been best friends with her for over four years, this being the fifth she had started to grow more feelings for her, stronger then their friendship. And Buffy had been confused, she knew that Willow, was well, a lesbian as she was in a relationship with Tara at the moment but Buffy couldn't help feel the pang of jealousy run through her when she saw them two together.
"Buffy?" Buffy snapped her head towards Willow.
"Huh?"
"You were all staring and zoned out, what were you thinking?" Willow asked.
"Oh nothing big, just thinking... of, um... how dull this night is being"
"Oh, we didn't have to go patrolling!"
"No, it's just no vampires, it doesn't make it any better"
"Well think again, slayer" An American voice growled from behind Buffy and she rolled her eyes, slowly standing up and grabbing her stake, taking her time to turn around she noticed Willow trying to hold back laughs and she arched a brow.
The sight before her made Buffy crack, leaning over she grabbed her stomach and tilted her head back, roaring with laughter as the vampire in front of her stood there nervously wring his cuffs and cracking his neck as he waited.
Buffy finally calmed down, letting the odd giggle slip as she looked up.
There in front of her, was a vampire who must've thought Spike was great. A fat vampire, very fat with a tight black tee shirt showing off his (non) muscles, tight black trousers which were half way down his arse and a very small duster.
"The shoes" Willow pointed out from behind her, Buffy looked down and started laughing again, when she finally stopped Willow was stood beside her. Watching the vampire the red head raised her eyebrows and looked him up and down.
"Ballet? If Spike caught you, you would end up with one railed through you head, err... mister, fangy-face!" Willow blushed at the poor attempt of an insult. She relaxed slightly when she felt the warm touch on the small of her back of her "best"friend.
Willow had been in love with Buffy for over four years now, ever since she laid eyes on her after a small drink from the water fountain her heart had just melted and she couldn't stop thinking about the blond. And some ways that Buffy looked at her, made her think if Buffy felt the same way, but she couldn't ask. One reason being she might not feel the same, the other. Tara.
"I did ballet... I think my mom thought it was best if I was buried in them" The vampire grunted, sifting his hand through his very short bleached locks.
"Well, you should at least go bare foot!" Buffy pointed out, grasping the stake tighter as she slowly raised it, "But it doesn't matter now, you are just going to be dust!"
The vampire's eyes went blank as he spotted the stake and he stuttered with his next words,
"You'll never kill me slayer, I'm the big bad!"
"Oh really?"
"Take your best shot!"
"Ok" Buffy simply said taking a step forward she aimed for the right side of the chest the vampire stupidly tried to block and she bought her hand back and penetrated his dead heart with her wooden stake, he changed to dust muttering, 'fuck' as he did so.
"Wow, good Buffy, stupid vampire doesn't know where his heart is!"
Buffy smiled glancing back at Willow and shrugging.
"Years of practise... I've learnt."
"Let's head back," Willow mumbled, walking beside Buffy.
"Yep more time with the snoring pair is great, maybe they will be gone having the monkey sex Anya had wanted" Buffy smirked.
"With Spike to!" Willow chirped, linking her arm with Buffy's.
"Lets go to the shop" They both nodded and headed in that direction.
*Magic Box*
The door rattled, as the wind grew heavier, slamming it shut, Willow and Buffy made their way down to the lower part of the room, Buffy grinned, motioning towards Xander and Anya.
"Told you"
Willow laughed.
"Yeah, they must be tired, too much sex?" Willow asked. Taking a seat beside the counter.
"Probably" The slayer laughed, "Let's not wake them and finish researching"
"Yep, 'cause we absolutely love research" Willow muttered sarcastically, grabbing a book.
Buffy smirked, taking a seat and grabbing a book, flicking it open, she scanned the pages.
Willow watched her silently, pretending to be reading but she was actually watching her best mate when Buffy glanced over the witch moved her eyes to the blurry writing on the page and sighed, biting down on her bottom lip. Why was Buffy looking over anyway? Probably sensed something! Willow shrugged, flicking the page over and yawning, damn she was tired. Maybe just resting my eyes, might make me feel better?
Willow did just that; letting her eyes sag closed. There was Buffy.
Damn i fell asleep!
Willow stood there, in a cold room. It was dark, very dark and she couldn't help a shiver run across her hardly dressed body, the red head looked down. She was only in a flowing pink skirt and a white-laced bra. Willow swallowed, her cheeks turning red as she looked up and around the room.
She couldn't see anything. And it was awfully quiet; apart from the heavy breathing coming from the hacker's mouth she couldn't hear anything else. Willow jumped as a light above her flashed on and a she immediately spotted a figure in front of her, her arms moved up to cover her chest as she took a small step forward to see who it was.
A flash of blond hair and a dazzling smile and Willow grinned.
"Buffy?"
She always had this dream. Letting her arms drop she didn't even realise she wasn't wearing anything at the moment, her damn dreams! She watched as the blond approached she even took a few small steps forward to try and reach her quicker, it didn't help, she felt like she was stuck her feet moulded against the ground and she couldn't move.
"Buffy!" Willow called out, reaching out with her hand. She was moving backwards.
Looking around as the world passed by her, vampires and demons surrounded her. Willow fell to her knees, shielding her naked body as she sobbed; her body shaking this was embarrassing. That's when she felt a warm hand on the small of her back and she looked up, there she was.
Her slayer.
^^^^Buffy^^^^
Buffy looked over towards Willow as the red head snorted and Buffy smirked, couldn't help falling asleep? Buffy stood and slowly moved towards he standing beside the counter as she watched her. Her hand reached out as she couldn't resist the temptation to play with her hair, her slender fingers wrapped around the red curls and she smiled.
Her hand yanked back sharply as she looked around it was dark and she couldn't see anything, she frowned, this was different. Buffy looked around, Where am i? The slayer asked herself, walking forward, that's when she spotted a light in the far distance, she could see a figure underneath it and she smiled, the red hair was a big giveaway.
Taking a few steps forward she smiled as she heard her name shouted towards her, her speed was becoming faster as she approached, that's when Willow was starting to move backwards and her desperate call made her run even faster, letting a name slip from her lips, 'Willow' she set of at a sprint. Reaching Willow she looked down at her shaking form.
Kneeling down her hand settled on the small of her back, her breathing hitched as she looked down at her pale skin, she hadn't seen this much of her. The hacker's head turned her head upwards and watched Buffy she couldn't help but smile.
"Willow, I love you"
That's when she crashed down into the Magic Box, looking around she looked down at Willow as her head snapped up, Buffy frowned, what the...? Did I just enter her friggin' dream? Buffy took a step back as Willow stood up.
"Buffy? What are you doing?"
Willow mustn't know that she was there, she might have thought it was in her dream!
"Um...nothing, just getting a book..." Buffy whispered nervously, grabbing the first book her hand was near and heading back to the table, "Researching, fun... remember?"
Willow nodded and sat back down.
"I need to tell you..." Willow whispered to herself.
