Buffy and Xander hunt for Dawn.

"It's ok Buffy, we'll find her." Xander reassured the slayer. "We just need to work out where she is. Before Spike...erm...calmed her down you said she seemed to want **** and a 'knees up' whatever that is."

"Probably some perverted English sex act." Buffy said miserably. "You should have seen the way she was dressed, and she seemed to enjoy being spanked."

"Yeah, who would have imagined all that filthy imagination going on under all that tweed." Xander agreed.

Privately Xander had been more than a little turned on when the other scoobies had told him about Dawns transformation and subsequent spanking. How come he got to miss all the good stuff? At the back of his mind was the thought that if he and Buffy could track down Dawn then she might need another firm hand on her bottom to control her. He could picture Dawn's bare ass wriggling on his lap while Buffy held her.

"Xander!" Buffy said loudly. "You were spacing out."

"Oh yeah, sorry Buff." Xander apologised, flushing red at being caught in the middle of his erotic daydream. "Where should we look?"

"The bronze of course." Buffy decided. "Where else is an eighteen year old with raging hormones going to go in Sunnydale?"

The queue outside the bronze was longer than usual. It seemed news had spread that a really hot group from LA was appearing tonight and every punk, goth and biker in Sunnydale had turned up. Buffy and Xander stood behind a group of hell's angel wannabes waiting to get in. A row of big Harley-Davidsons were parked along the sidewalk. From inside the club booming rock music informed them that the band had already started their set. A female vocalist could faintly be heard singing a spirited version of the Clash's 'I fought the law'.

"I didn't even know Sunnydale had a hell's angel chapter." Xander commented, eyeing the big leather and denim clad bikers warily.

"Maybe someone should talk to them about breach of copyright." Buffy said, indicating their gang patches which read 'Sunnydale Slayers'.

By the time they'd got to the front of the queue and entered the club the band had moved onto the song 'Teenage kicks' by the undertones. The inside of the club was packed and the band seemed to be really rocking. The dancefloor in front of the stage was a heaving mass of young adults going crazy, the female lead singer could now be clearly heard and was belting out the latest track with a raunchy energy that was whipping up the testosterone in the crowd.

"How are we supposed to find Dawnie in amongst this." Buffy yelled in Xander's ear of the loud music.

The strobe lighting and other effects in the club didn't help. Seeing anything clearly at all was difficult and the excited crowd ebbed and flowed in disorientating tides.

"Maybe if we go upstairs we can spot her in this crowd of neanderthal idiots...oh!" Xander tailed off as the music stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence and he screamed the last part out to a quiet room.

Those standing around Xander turned and stared at him. They didn't make any comment or hostile move, but the menace was obvious.

"Err..I meant that in a nice way." Xander stated lamely. "Really, some of my best friends are neanderthals."

A spotlight came on the darkened stage and the threatening mob lost interest in Xander and turned back as an intro to another song began to play. Buffy sighed and grabbed her friends arm.

"Let's get up on the balcony." She suggested. "You were right about that. We'll have a better chance of spotting Dawn from above."

Xander didn't move, he'd followed the gaze of those around him and was staring dumbstruck at the figure of the bands female vocalist illuminated centrestage by the spotlight.

"I don't think that will be necessary Buff." Xander said, mesmerised by the girl on the stage. "I can see Dawn now, but you're not going to like where she is."
