Chapter Six: Of Sibling Rivalry and Begining Relationships


"'Ow was th' date wit th' Xan man?" asked Spike with his trade-mark smirk as he lay lazzily on his bed, slightly strumming on his guitar, as Faith walked into their room.

"Didya snog?" asked Connor over enthusiastically.

"Con..."

"Didya shag?" asked Spike in an adequite impression of his little brother.

"No," replied Faith, obviously not finding the joke even remotely funny, "We got a cuppa', we took a walk 'n' th' park, end o' story."

"...You have got to be the mos' borin' date ever," sayed Spike before ducking the picture frame his twin threw at him moments later, "Hey! I like that picture!"

"Ya mean the one o' you 'n' the girl you havn' called since you started flirtin' with Buffy?" asked Faith, refering to the picture in the frame which was of Spike and Drusilla looking particularly lovey-dovey.

Spikes eyes flared at the comment and he began to glare at his sister, "Now wait jus' a damn minute--!"

"Oh, wha', ev'ryone in the house is thinkin' it!" At this comment Connor slipped out the door before he was dragged any farther into soon to be heated argument.

"You have no right to critisize my relationship with Dru when you havn' dated anyone since--"

"Finish tha' sentence an' I will through you out of the window!"

"Well, you don' attack me, and I won' attack you!" yelled Spike, extremely agravated, before dropping back on his bed, still smoldering.

"Will," Spike started to protest but Faith interupted him, "You can be tha' rediculous name to the world if you insist, but to this fam'ly, you're William. Look: Buffy's my friend, Dru's my friend; so either you're leadin' Buffy on, or you're thinkin' o' cheatin' on Dru. Either way, you gotta choose a girl before either o' these siduation's becomes a reality...or I'll kill ya."

"Great. Faithy...I'm scared...I love Drusilla, I do. I love her; but ev'rythin' with us is so complicated," explained Spike with a tired sigh, "I mean; we were fightin' so much when we left London...an' I never really knew if it was 'cause we were leavin', or if it was jus' us fightin'."

"Well what about Buffy?" Faith asked, sitting next to her brother, anger giving way to a little sympathy.

"I like her...alot. Which sucks 'cause I still have feelings for Dru, but the long distance thing..."

"Is shitty."

"Right."

"You need to break up with her Will," said Faith as she put an arm around her brother.

"I don't want to."

"Doesn't mater."

Spike let out a long sigh and turned to stare at the phone, "I know."


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tap, tap, tap. Xander rubbed his eyes as he slowly got out of bed, he walked up to the window and saw the pebbles flying at the window. As he opened it, another rock flew at his face.
"Oh God!" shout out Faith, "I'm so sorry!"

Xander's eyes fluttered breifly before his vision adjusted, "Faith?"

"Yeah, hey! I'm sorry!"

"I got that," replied Xander with a smile, "What are you doing here?"

Faith laughed and blushed a little, thanking God it was night and the redness couldn't be seen, "We're all in the car," she explained, "We're going out."

"At five in the morning?" he asked confused.

"You'll understand when we get there."

"When you say 'we're all'--?"

"My entire family, Buffy, Willow, Dawn, and you're friend Jesse; he's the one who came up with this idea."

"Sounds like Jess," Xander replied tiredly.

"Yeah, so, apparently you need to wake up Cordelia and get in the car."

"What? Why is the Wicked Witch coming?"

"Jesse insisted," answered Faith, sounding less than enthused.

"So you aren't going to tell me where we're going?"

"What's wrong with surprises?" she asked with a mischeivious grin.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After pileing out of the truck, Xander took in the beach just as the sun rose. He also took in Angel and Doyle staying in the car and locking all the doors. He took in Dawn running into the ocean and dragging Connor with her. He noticed Cordelia actually acknowleging Jesse and they were smiling and laughing. He took in Buffy and Spike sitting on a beach blanket and staring at the sun. And he took in how beautiful Faith looked the rising sun.
Faith was smiling as she layed her hand on his. "What?" asked Xander.

"You said you wanted a miracle."

"What do you think they're talking about?" asked Buffy with an equally bright smile.

"How much they already love eachother after two days of dating," replied Spike as he rolled his eyes and took Buffy's hand in his.

"Spike, you have a girlfriend, and--" At that moment, Buffy was interupted by Spike's lips firmly planting on hers.

"Broke up with her."

"...Oh," she replied before returning the kiss.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Xander and Faith sat comfortably under the big Oak tree in his backyard. They had been dating for three weeks now and were moving pretty fast. Still they didn't seem to mind, and neither did anyone else with the exception of Spike and Connor's brief explaination of what exactly they'd do to Xander if he hurt their sister. Faith had even convinced Xander to go to Mass once, just once; he fell asleep halfway through and Faith finally agreed church just wasn't his thing.

They were all sitting outside, having somewhat of a makeshift picnic. Buffy and Spike, who were now a couple as well sat together, Spike making her laugh about every five seconds or so, which eventually got annoying to the others. Willow and Tara were dangeling a string in front of Miss Kitty Fantastico; Tara's kitten that she'd brought over. Jesse and Cordelia had gone to the kitchen to get drinks, and Connor and Dawn were sitting on the porch talking.

All in all everything was--"Creepy."

"What do you mean 'Creepy'?" Dawn asked as Connor surveyed the others and their picnic with distaste.

"It's jus all alil' to perfect dontchya think? I mean; were all havin' a picnic an' everyone's all together an' happy and stuff? That's no' normal."

Dawn considered this for a minute, "Yeah, your right this is a little to hallmark. Let's go inside."

"Thank you!" The two walked into the house and as they went by the kitchen their conversation was completely drowned out.

"You're an idiot!" yelled Cordelia.

"Look who's talking super-skank Barbie!" Jesse yelled back.

"Finally, some normalcy!" exclaimed Connor with a goofy grin.

"I hate you."

"I HATE YOU!"

Connor and Dawn listened for the next part of the screaming match, but heared nothing, "You don't think he finally snapped and killed her, do you?" asked Dawn with a slight smirk.

Curriosity getting the better of them, the two went into the kitchen, only to find Jesse and Cordelia in the middle of a deep, passionate kiss. "Jesus, is this a house or a brothle?" asked Connor, causing the two to break from the kiss, looking completely terrified at being caught.

There was about five minutes of silence before Dawn started laughing hysterically, "Dawn!" screeched Cordelia, infuriated with her sister, "GET OUT!"

And with that she and Connor ran outside to the cutsie picnic which had turned into Faith and Spike arguing and everyone else looking uncomfortable in their absence. "You'll never guess what we just saw!" said Dawn, still in the throws of hysterical laughter.

Everyone was a little shocked at the realization, but most thought Jesse and Cordelia made a cute couple, whether they thought so or not. Xander, on the other hand, was absolutly horrified at the prospect of his best friend getting together with whom he percieved to be the step-sister from hell. It took Faith, who had completely forgotten her argument with Spike over DC versus Marvel, a half hour to convince him not to go into the house and telling Jesse he'd completely lost his mind.

Spike began laughing as Xander continued to wig out, and Buffy eventually turned to him and asked him what was so funny, "Nothin'" he said, still gasping for breath, "It's just...your fam'ly might be more fucked up than mine!" Buffy smacked him on the arm, looking thoroughly unamused.

"I say we just don't say anything untill they decide to actually become a couple," said Willow, ever the voice of reason. Pretty much everyone agreed right away, but Xander, again, was aprehesive. However, he agreed quite readily once Willow mentioned something about aquaman underoos.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The were walking upstairs into Xander and Wesley's room, the couples once again acting sickeningly cute as they made their way down the hall (other than the fact that now everyone was arguing their comic book preference ferriosity). Xander turned the door nob and when he opened the door. The arugment became a shocked silence as seeing Wesley, shirtless with a girl on his bed.

Dawn furrowed her eyebrows before saying, "Okay, you know what? There is just way too much sex going on here! Honestly, this is the second make out session I've walked into today, not to mention the lovey dovey crap going on with you six!" she added pointing back to Buffy, Spike, Faith, Xander, Willow, and Tara.

The girl, who was pretty in an awkward sort of way, was deffinantly made even more awkward by the situation. Throwing on her shirt and putting her glasses back on, she surveyed the ten teenagers currently staring at her before saying, in a southern drawl, "I'm Fred...by the way."

"I'm Cordelia!" exclaimed Cordy with a big smile, "It's great to meet you, and--wait a minute, why did no one act even remotely surprised when Dawn said she walked in on me kissing the createn?"

"Well, actually, she just said she'd walked in on some people kissing," said Buffy, "So if we hadn't of known, you would've given yourself away...but we did."

Cordelia's eyes flared, "Buffy: shut up!"

"Which one's are you related to again?" asked Fred...looking completely baffled.

"The red-headed girl and the boy with the black hair are my little brother and sister...the three girls currently screaming at eachother are our stepsisters, the rest are just their assorted romantic interests and friends," Wesley answered in a tired voice, as though he wished none of what he had just said were true.

"Oh...well, it's nice to y'all," said Fred.

"Oh yeah, you too!" answered Tara, being the only one as shy and odd as Fred actually was.

"Well," said Connor with a humorous sigh, "Atleast it's not creepy anymore."
