Chapter 9
Riley’s parents were gone for the weekend, leaving a perfect
opportunity to throw a party. Everyone was dancing and
drinking when Conner and Jesse walked in. Jesse flitted
about, going from girl to girl trying to start a conversation, but
failing miserably. Conner looked at Jesse in amusement,
holding back laughter as Jesse bounced up and down trying
to dance. Conner looked around anxiously, looking for
Dawn. They continued walking through the house. Jesse
stopped next to a girl.
“Hey there, I’m thinking about getting a Tercel. That’s a
Toyota.”
The girl looked at him rolling her eyes and
walking away.
“Its got dual side airbags and a spacious backseat!” he yelled
after her.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Buffy walked up the stairs to the second
floor, with Spike following close behind. A drunken girl
crashed into Spike, leaving him momentarily distracted. Buffy
continued walking and went into another room.
‘Maybe he’ll stop following me.’ Buffy thought to herself. She
cringed when she heard a voice behind her.
“Sweet.”
Angel circled her.
“Looking hot tonight, Buffy.”
Buffy rolled her eyes and stepped around him. Angel
followed.
“Hey, where are you going?”
“Away.”, she told him.
“Your sister here?”
Buffy glared at him.
“Stay away from my sister.”
“Oh, I’ll stay away from your sister, but I can’t guarantee
she’ll stay away from me”, he grinned.
Angel walked away leaving Buffy glaring after him.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Everyone was gathered in the living room
watching and cheering as Gunn and some other guy crashed
through a window. Buffy made her way into the living room.
“Hey Buffy. Look who found me”, Angel grinned.
Buffy looked at Dawn as Angel led her away.
“Dawn, wait.”
“Please do not address me in public.” Dawn told her.
“No. There’s something I need to tell you.”
“I am busy enjoying my adolescence. Why don’t you go and
do the same?” Dawn said as she stormed off.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Spike watched as Buffy confronted Dawn.
When Dawn walked away, Spike walked over. A boy
walked by with a tray full of shots. Buffy grabbed one and
drank it, making a face at the taste. Spike smirked.
“What’s this then? I’ve been looking all over for you, pet.”
Buffy coughed.
“Don’t call me that. I’m getting trashed, man. Isn’t that what
you’re supposed to do at these parties?”
Spike shrugged.
“I dunno. I say do what you want to do.”
Buffy shook her head.
“Funny. You’re the only one. Later.”
Buffy walked away, grabbing more shots as she headed up
the stairs.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Jesse bounced his way into the room. He
went over to two girls who were dancing.
“Lord of the Dance!”
The two girls walked away. Jesse shook his head.
“Should’ve kept the tie.”
Conner walked up and tapped him on the shoulder.
“Hey. Have you seen her?”
Jesse stopped bouncing.
“Relax.”
“Relax? I’m fine.”
Jesse pointed at Dawn and Cordelia coming down the stairs.
“Follow the love.”
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Conner walked over to Dawn.
“Hey Dawn.”
Dawn looked up.
“Oh, hi Conner.”
Cordelia looked at Dawn curiously. Dawn stuttered. She
grabbed Cordelia’s arm and pushed her towards Conner.
“So, Conner. Have you met Cordelia?”
Conner nodded.
“Uh, yeah. I think we have art together.”
Cordelia looked at him.
“Neat.”
Conner looked at Dawn.
“So, you, uh, look amazing.”
“And we all know I look amazing.” Angel walked up behind
the girls.
The girls laughed. Angel turned to Dawn.
“Come on, Dawn. Everyone’s gathering in the living room.”
He pulled Dawn away. Dawn looked at Conner.
“I’ll see you around ok?”
They walked away, leaving behind a very disappointed
Conner.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Angel and Dawn were walking through the
house. Angel was going on and on about his modeling gigs.
Dawn was bored out of her mind.
“And then I have this Sears catalog gig. Oh, and the tube
sock gig is going to be huge. And I am up for a hemorrhoid
cream next week. I know, it sounds kinda gross, but I get to
do some acting.”
They walked over to a pyramid of beer
cans. Angel set his down on top, doing a ridiculous pose.
Dawn sat down in a chair.
“Hey, did you see that?” he asked Dawn.
Dawn looked up.
“Oh, uh, yeah.”
“That was for the underwear ad. I’ll show you the bathing
suit one.”
He posed again.
“See the difference?”
Dawn looked at him, rolling her eyes and
turned around. Angel shrugged and turned to a group of girls
behind him.
“Fine. I’ll show you guys.”
Dawn grabbed Cordelia’s arm as she walked by.
“Does this party all of a sudden suck, or is it just me?”
Cordelia looked at her like she had grown
another head.
“Um, no. What’s your problem?”
