Buffy could barely contain her excitement. It was Friday night. Tonight she went out with Ryan and she was going crazy.

Willow laughed as she watched her friend bounce off the wall, “Buffy, you really need to calm down. Ryan will be here any second. I promise and then you two are going to go have a great time.”

Xander, who was sulking on her bed, gave a snort. It wasn’t a secret Xander had a little crush on Buffy and wasn’t happy about this date. Truthfully, Buffy didn’t know what he was even doing here. She loved Xander but you don’t have guy friends over before a date.

Buffy just rolled her eyes at her male friend and turned her attention back to Willow, “You're right Wills. I’m sorry. I’m just so anxious and oh my god, what I’m I going to do with my brother?” That was the one thing Buffy didn’t have planned out. She knew damn well that Angel was going to interrogate Ryan into he was huddled into a corner as a form of self defense.

Willow cringed, thinking the same thing as Buffy. Angel had the over protective big brother roll down pat. If there was an over protective big brother award, he’d win it by a landslide for sure.

“Okay,” Buffy bit her bottom lip, trying to think of a way to get around it, “Wills, you stay upstairs with Xander and when Ryan show’s up, you scream and Xander pretends to attach you…”

“Wait, what?” Xander snapped into the conversation, “Angel’ll hit me! Your brother hits hard!”

“Buffy,” Willow couldn’t help but laugh, “Don’t you think that that’s just a tid bit extreme?”

“NO!” Buffy exclaimed.

“YES!” Xander had snapped in a panicked voice at the same time.

“But Xand…” Buffy started to pout but was stopped by the doorbell. Crap, it was too late. Buffy gave one last look at her friends before she headed downstairs in hope of saving Ryan.

**********************************************************

“Bloody hell,” Spike sighed at his friend, “Would you stop that?”

Angel had been pacing across the living room floor for at least fifteen minutes. He couldn’t wait to meet Buffy’s date…then to rip of the little bastard’s head off. Okay, so he a little over protective but what brother wasn’t? Right? Angel stopped to glare at Spike before he resumed his pacing.

Spike was having similar thoughts, about ripping Ryan’s head off anyways. It wasn’t fair. She was supposed to have broken her date with that poof and jump into his arms. Things were NOT going the way he wanted them for sure, “Can we just go? Buff…your sis is a big girl now peaches. ‘M sure she doesn’t need you around here to give her little date the third degree.” Truth be told, he just didn’t want to be around when skater boy showed so he could watch them drive off into the fucking sunset together.

Angel stopped once more and stared at Spike like he’d said the most ridiculous thing ever, “You're kidding right? I love my sister but she’s not exactly bright. Buffy’s the kind of girl that guys manipulate, use and throw away.” Angel had given him a pointed look while saying this. He’d kicked Spike’s ass for the sick joke he’d played on his sister but still wasn’t happy about it.

Spike mentally winched before sighing once more and shutting his mouth.

A few beats of silence passed before the doorbell rang. Angel was on it in an instant.

“Uh hey,” the dark blonde skater said, slightly uneasy because of the look in Angel’s eyes as the door opened, “I’m here to pick up Buffy.”

Angel eyed him suspiciously before giving a slight nod and letting him in the house but not without giving Ryan and intimidating glare.

Buffy was down in a blur of red, blue and blonde. She stopped at the bottom step and beamed at her date, “Hey Ryan.”

Ryan smiled at her with the boyish charm she loved, “Hey Buffy. You look amazing.”

Angel and Spike both scowled.

“Oh look at my baby,” Mrs. Summers smiled brightly as she entered the living room, “You to look so cute together.”

Buffy suppressed an eye roll and turned to her mother after looking at Angel, “I know. Can we go now?”

Angel hadn’t had a chance to terrorize Ryan yet and she didn’t want to give him it.

Her mother smiled warmly again, “Yes of course. You go on honey and have a great time. Be back by…”

“Nine,” Angel interjected sternly.

Buffy turned to get mother wide eyes and whined, “MOM!”

“Be back by twelve-thirty Buffy,”

Buffy fought off the urge to stick her tongue out at her brother. She just hugged her mother instead with a, “Thank you so much!” She turned to look at Ryan once more before saying, “Bye all!”

With that, Buffy grabbed Ryan by the hand and practically yanked him out of the house, not once noticing the piercing blue eyes burning a hole in the back of her date’s head.

**********************************************************

Spike was NOT brooding. He was simply standing in a dark corner with his handy drink and pouting. That was NOT brooding. He spotted a flash of light brunette curls and groaned silently. This was the last thing he needed.

“Hey Spikey,” Lindy smiled cheekily at him, “Dare I ask what you're doing standing in the corner all by your lonesome looking like ya got a stick up are ass?”

“I’m not brooding,” he snapped out at her.

She laughed lightly and threw her hands up in defense for dramatic affect, “Hey, hey, hey. Did the words brood or brooding ever leave my lips? I think not. Now come on, tell me what’s wrong.”

“I hate you,” he stated simply, taking a sip out of his flask, “You're plan was bloody worthless. She’d out with skater boy right now.”

Lindy rolled her eyes, “Well dur. Didja really think that after one day of hanging with you, she was going to fall head over heels in love with you once again? Sweetie, she’s found a new honey who came along swept her right off her feet. You want her, work for her.”

“Did I mention that I hate you?” he asked casually.

“Yup, ya did,” she smiled at him brightly, “Hate you to babe. See ya round.” She turned to leave, giving him a saucy wink before working her way back into the party.

He really did hate the bloody bitch.

**********************************************************

“Where are we going?” Buffy asked, trying to not sound over excited. Was it normal to feel like you were going to pee your pants while on a first date? Probably not. Oh well.

Ryan laughed and turned to look at the blonde beauty next to him, “If I told you, I’d ruin the surprise Summers. Don’t want that now do we? Besides, we’re almost there.”

“We’re driving to the middle of no where,” Buffy muttered, pouting, making Ryan laugh again. God she was cute.

After a few more minutes, the car came to a stop and Ryan got out of the car. Buffy started to follow but he’d already ran around the car to open the door for her. God he was cute, “Come on, follow me.” He held out his hand to her, pulling her out of her car but letting go to grab something from the backseat.

“It’s dark,” Buffy whined, “I can't see anything.” This was starting to creep her out. It was pitch black and she could hear water. Leave it to Ryan to take her somewhere weird, “Where are we going?”

“You’ll see in a second,” he smiled, or at least he sounded like he was to Buffy.

They stopped at a cement wall with a small light. There was a slight incline in which he climbed up first, setting down his mystery package and helping her up. She couldn’t help but notice that the sound of rushing water was getting louder and louder the farther they went.

“Watch your step,” he warned as they started across a narrow path. Buffy gripped his hander tighter. They finally came to a stop and Ryan let go of her hand. Buffy looked around for the first time even though she could barely see. There they were. At the Fairview City dam on a small metal platform above. Well, the boy was original for sure.

Buffy laughed as they sat down next to each other and both turned to look at each other at the same time, “You know you're kinda weird Cooper.”

He smiled cheekily, “So are you Summers. Match made in heaven.”

“Guess so,” Buffy agreed happily. Her head was swimming. She kinda liked it.

“So anyways,” Ryan said as he set a grocery bag down between them, “You ever had a picnic over other city’s dam?”

Buffy laughed and shook her head no, “Can't say I have.”

“Good,” Ryan replied.

He had this planned out perfectly. All of a sudden the siren started to blare and the lights shot on, the sound of rushing water strong as ever. With out further adue, the dam opened and the water came pouring down. Buffy’s eyes were wide, from the initial shock but soon sat back and watched the water with Ryan.

And to think, this was just he beginning. Not only their date but of an amazing relationship.

**********************************************************

Ryan’s car pulled into the Summer’s driveway at twelve twenty-two. He shut off the ignition and turned to look at Buffy, who was already looking at him.

“Thanks for a great night Cooper,” Buffy smiled shyly.

Ryan returned her shy smile, which was very much unlike him, “I’m really glad you went out with me Summers. I was sure that you’d say no when I asked you.”

Buffy’s eyebrows knitted together in confusion, “Why?”

He sighed, “Well you were always to busy following that Spike dude around.”

Buffy mentally winched. Valid point. Oh well, it didn’t matter now, “That doesn’t matter anymore Ryan. I’m so over that. Besides, after a night like this, how could I possibly want to go out with only one else.” Shut you mouth Buff before you embarrass yourself.

Ryan laughed but not at her, “Feelings are mutual.” With that, he leaned down, closer and closer…HONK! Angel’s black car pulled into the driveway behind them, honking his horn, like he knew exactly what was about to happen.

Buffy sighed heavily and blushed slightly, “I gotta go. Call me?”

Ryan nodded, “Okay. Tomorrow.”

Buffy wanted to roll her eyes. Guys never call the day after, or at least she’d heard. Oh well, “Tomorrow. Night Cooper.” With that, she started to get out of the car.

“Night Summers,” Ryan smiled as was about to shut the door. He watched her walk up her front steps and into the house with that same smile. Tomorrow for sure.
