Xander dancing all out. It was poor, but he wasn't afraid to put it all out there.

Buffy bit her lip as she watched Xander dancing with Amy. Lots of people had their eyes on Xander. He wasn't a great dancer. Far from it. But he wasn't worried about the eyes. He wasn't doing it for the attention, he was just out there, trying new things and enjoying it.

It was a kind of freedom that she wished she had. That she wished she had in partner. That she wished Angel had.

Buffy froze up as she had that thought. Where did that come from? She loved Angel. True he wasn't very adventurous...or even here. But that didn't mean...

"Where's a phone. I need to call the police. Someone outside is trying to bite a girl."

Buffy broke out of her her thoughts and rushed out towards the back.

-

"Wow, that was exciting," Amy said as the reentered the Bronze. "Do you do stuff like that every night?"

"Kind of. I mean, exciting is a word for it, or scary."

"You have to be into it for some reason. No superpowers, no calling, what's the appeal?"

"Cute girls?" Xander said with a smile.

She smiled back at him, "Do you want to do something exciting?"

"Yes I do."

-

Buffy reentered the Bronze. After killing the vampire and the scene with Spike she had ended up forgetting her purse.

Well, forgetting might be too strong of a phrase. She was kind of hoping to still run into Angel.

She glanced around, not seeing any sign of Angel. The Bronze was near closing. No use waiting anymore.

Her hearing though picking up something from the second story. It sound like a moan. For a second she could have sworn it was Xander.

She slowly made her way up the stairs, careful not to make any sound. A part of her was surprised by what she saw, a part of it was what she had been expecting

Xander and Amy were cuddled together on a love seat making out. Amy's top was up and her breasts exposed. Amy had one hand down Xander's pants while she was grinding on his leg.

They weren't exactly doing it in the middle of the dance floor, but there were a few angles from below that they could be seen. Not to mention the two were so into each other that Buffy suspected she would have been able to sneak up on them even without any stealth skills.

As Buffy snuck back down she could only think about how nice it would be to have a boyfriend who was actually willing to do exciting things.

-

Xander tried to catch up with everything that had gone wrong.

The banners, the refreshments, the distracting Buffy's Mom, that had all gone well. Okay, the lemonade was an atrocity, and Snyder got to talk to Buffy's Mom at the end, but all in all pretty successful.

Now was the time they were supposed to start planning for the super bad on Saturday. It wasn't supposed to be happening right now.

And he wasn't supposed to be trapped in the locker room with Amy.

That was true because just a couple of days ago the idea that he could suggest to a girl, 'Hey, want to go to the boys locker room and I'll finger you till you cum' would have been crazy.

Now what was crazy was that he was trapped away from the danger while everyone he wanted to protect was potentially in danger.

"What magic could you do?"

"That...that would be dangerous."

He shot her a look, "I trust you, Amy. We're about twenty minutes away from getting killed. Now is not the time to play it safe."

"I could send a message. Get in touch with everyone."

"Good. Great, that's what we need right now. To get organized," he said as he looked around. "From what I remember, there is a sewer access point in the coach's office. No idea why, it's like we're inviting the vampires in. Let them know I'll get Angel."

"I thought you hated him?" Amy asked.

"Not a fan, but we need backup."

"And if they're watching the sewers?" she asked scared.

"Then I'll be killed," he said bluntly. "We're all taking risks here."

She nodded her head. "Be careful."

As he dove into the sewer she tried to remember the telepathy spell.

-

"Waiting for a ride?" Buffy asked as she found Xander.

"Waiting for Xander," Amy replied. "He said he'd walk me home. He apparently had something to talk over with Angel."

"The two of you are..."

"We haven't actually talked about that yet."

"The spell you cast," Buffy began, "I felt what you felt."

"Yes, it was too powerful. I'm sorry."

"When he jumped into the sewer, you were scared."

She looked at Buffy confused, "Yes, of course."

Buffy stepped closer, "And turned on."

"Ummm..."

Buffy moved even closer. "I was too. Turned on. And scared. But really turned on. He's not afraid to dive into something, is he?"

"No, he's not."

"You know what else I felt," Buffy said as she slowly raised a hand, "when James possessed him. When he..."

"Called you a cunt," Amy murmured. "Yes, why was that so hot."

"What is this so hot?" Buffy said as she leaned closer.

"Buffy?" her Mom called out.

Buffy backed away. "Come on. My Mom can give both you and Xander a ride home."
