Chapter 2: Mario vs.The Big Bad.

"Hmmmmm.......Hmmm.....Hm....dum ..da…dum…" Spike glances briefly over to Buffy, just about ready to admit defeat, beg off, and promise to take her to the movies or anywhere else as long as they weren’t going to stay there. 'I wonder what's going through her head right now.' Spike thinks as he stares at the small blonde. 'Hmm...Hmmmmmm....Hmm hmmm da-dum....Hmmmm...' The tune Buffy was humming along to on the way to their destination was the answer to Spike's internal question. What the bloody hell is that song anyway? he wondered to himself.
Dressed in blue denim jeans and a pale green peasant blouse, the Slayer was ready to learn all about Spike. She was hoping she could get him to do the kind of stuff he did when she wasn't around. Like getting in bar fights and betting on kittens and stuff. She didn't know what was going on with her but she didn't feel like herself. Well, not her normal do-gooder self anyway. Then again, not the mopey self either. Something strange was going on, but Buffy wasn't all that worried about it. If it turned out to be something evil then she'd beat the living day lights out of the thing and get on with her life. 'Hmmm....Hmm hmm da..dum..dum...Hmmm.....Hmmm hmm da..dum..da..dum.'
"Argh, Slayer, would you quit it?" Spike snaps, finally giving up trying to tune out her sodding humming. Buffy glances at him like he's lost his mind, "Why do you want me to quit it?" she asked, not understanding what his problem was. "Because it's getting on my last nerve,” he replies, rolling his eyes heavenward. "Why is it getting on your nerves?" Spike sucks in a breath to tell her exactly why “Because, well,--er, well, Because it's becoming slightly redundant." The bleached vampire stutters. "Why is it becoming redundant?" Spike stares at Buffy, and can’t believe the stupidity of the question. "Because you keep repeating the same blooming tune over, and over, and over again! And you’re beginning to drive me out of my bleeding mind and starting to remind me of Dru!” Spike exclaimed, exasperated with her.
"Well, why do you think I'm repeating it over and over again? That *is* the way the song goes. Haven't you ever played Mario?" Spike looks at her, confused. "Who's Mario?" The blonde beside him rolled her eyes, "Hello! Welcome to the 21st century! Haven't you ever played Atari or Nintendo before? You know, Mario of Super Mario Brothers, I used to play Super Mario World back when I was younger *ALL* the time. It was so much fun. You're gonna have to play it sometime. I still have one at home. Xander loves to play with it, maybe you can play with him!" Buffy smiles brightly at him before they continue on to their destination.
Fifteen minutes later and Buffy's starts humming again.
"Oh, Bloody Hell!!!!"

 Do any good? And yes, Buffy's going to play kitten poker. Yup, that's how the cat---err....Kitten jumps in the story. ^^; Bye now.
