After the death of Willow and Xander, the group seemed to be empty. But it soon changed when Oz, a member of a band that frequents the Bronze; was bitten by a werewolf. After he finally was able to come to grips with what had happened, he became close to the group and soon found himself visiting the library. Not just to be locked up in the library's cage when the full moon was coming, but to visit with his new close friends. Another new member to the Scooby gang that was to appear was Amy. After being caught trying to do a vengeance spell on a teacher who gave her an "F" on her report, she also started hanging around the old gang once again. After all, it was Buffy who saved her from her vengeful mother. But the key word was tried. Her mother may have been a very powerful witch, but Amy still isn't quite able to do much but a few tricks.

Bright and early on a Monday morning, everyone was making their way to class at Sunnydale High School. Buffy, Cordelia and Amy made their way to their first period class. Buffy struggled as she tried to organize and separate her papers before they reached the classroom. *Moan* "It's not fair, slayers shouldn't have to do homework. How am I supposed to patrol and do a history report at the same time?" Buffy complains.

Cordelia quickly chimes in, "I don't know why you are complaining, I had to wait for over an hour looking for Devon to show at the Bronze! He better have a dam good excuse when I see him."

Amy smiles at the thought of Cordelia being stood up by Devon again.

The three reach the classroom just as the bell rings. The teacher begins his lecture as they find their seats.

Amy then whispers to Cordelia, "I could turn him into a rat if you want me to." A grin spreads across her face.

"You mean there is actually a spell you can do without screwing up?" Cordelia says sarcastically with a smile.

Amy ignores the statement and slouches back angrily at her desk with her arms crossed.

Somewhere deep in the sewers

* * *

Drusilla walks up behind spike and gently runs her fingers across his back. Spike quickly turns around to see his girl, standing there wearing her long old fashion white gown. "Dru, why are you up walking around, you know your weak."

"I got lonely," she pouted.

"I'm sorry pet, I should of not have left you alone." he says as he kisses her on the cheek.

"You're forgiven." She smiles.

Spike then leads her back to her room, carrying her in his arms. He then gently lays her down on their bed. (It isn't the best bed though, they are in a sewers after all.) Drusilla then looked up at spike as she asked, "When will I get to play outside?"

"It's still day love, you will have plenty of time to play when night falls. But remember, I don't want you ever going to the surface without me. It's too dangerous, I don't want to see you get hurt."

Drusilla smiles at spikes concern as she gently strokes at his hair. "Don't worry, I'll be careful."

Xander eyes them carefully from a distance, then walks over to Willow. "I don't trust them!" he says angrily.

Willow wraps her arms around him. "You don't trust anybody." She pouts, "Besides, he did say he has killed two slayers in his time. He could be very useful."

"I don't want Buffy dead, not yet at least. I want to have a little fun with her first." He grins.

At the Library

* * *

Giles and Jenny exchange smiles as they continue on their discussion as Oz walks in. Giles looks to see him walks in, "Right on time." he remarks as he opens the gated door.

Oz smiles as he walks in the book storage area. "I try my best."

Buffy, Cordelia and Amy walk into the library just as Giles is locking the gate. Amy heads straight to the occult section (as she usually does) While Cordelia let out a heavy sigh as she plopped her books on the table close to one of the bookshelves. "Someone should really make a formal complaint to the school on how much homework they are allowed to assign!" Cordelia gripes.

Buffy just smiles as she listens to Cordelia's complaint. Then looks over at Giles. "Who is going to do wolf watch tonight?"

"Don't worry about it, Jenny and I will have watch for tonight."

"Great." Buffy perks up. "Makes more free time for me." She smiles as she picks up her purse and heads out the door. "I've got some serious bronzing to do."

* * *

At the bronze Buffy looks around anxiously. She then finally sees Angel enter. "Angel." She smiles as she calls out to him. "Glad you could finally make it."

"Well, kind of had to wait for the whole night thing to come around, sorry if that got in the way." He kids.

She then leads him to the dance floor lightly by one hand. The two begin to slow dance. She then leans her head on his shoulder. "It's so nice to finally be able to relax with you. Things have been so stressful with…" she pauses. "with everything that has happened."

"I know," he says softly.

The two continue to dance, while spike, Drusilla and some other vampires walk into the bronze unnoticed. Spike scans the room. Xander points out Buffy.

"So that's the slayer." Spike replies surprised. "And dancing with Angelus." He laughs lightly to himself.

"Angel." Drusilla says softly with excitement.

"Remember, no killing, not yet!" Xander reminds spike. "We don't need them sending out a new slayer any time soon." He looks at Buffy, "At least I know this one doesn't have the guts to kill me." He says with a grin as he exits the Bronze.

Spike eyes the slayer carefully.

The song ends and the two then walk side by side as they leave the bronze. Spike follows closely, Drusilla by his side. He then puts on his game face, "Well well well, Angel, never guessed you would be the slayers lap dog."

Angel quickly turns around, recognizing the voice. "Spike!"

"You know each other?" Buffy says surprised.

"Hello Angel," Drusilla says with a smile.

Angel finds it hard to even look her in the eye after all he had done to her in the past. But finally manages to say to spike, "What are you doing here in Sunnydale!"

"Well, I can't let you have all the fun, now can I. Dru and I are moving in. And you better keep an eye on your girlfriend, cause you might find her on your doorstep dead if you don't." he says with a smiles

Angel quickly replies, "Now I don't want to start any trouble with you, if you know what's good for you, you will take Dru and leave this town now!"

"You don't frighten me Angelus."

Angel then angrily grabs spike by the collar of his jacket and shoves him into the wall. Showing his vamp face, he then says with a growl, "Now, do I frighten you?!"

Spike simply smiles and yanks his grip off of his jacket. "Come on Dru" He then looks over at Angel and Buffy. "This isn't over! Not by a long shot!" He laughs as he walks off, his arm around Drusilla.

Buffy looks at Angel, "Care to fill me in?"

Angel then informs Buffy of Spike and Drusilla, and how dangerous he is and that he has killed two slayers before. They then return to the library where they inform Giles and Jenny.

Giles takes off his glasses and cleans them. "This is the last thing we need." The gate rattles in the background as Oz in his wolf form knocks up against it.

"Tell me about it." Buffy says, crossing her arms.

Angel walks up next to her. "This guy deffinately is no joking matter. My suggestion is to stay away from him. I'll do the fighting if needed."

"That serious huh?" she asks.

Angel then gives her a serious look.

Cordelia's House

* * *

Cordelia pulls up in front of her house and parks on the side of the street, She then puts the car in park as she takes her keys out of the ignition and grabs her purse. "Stupid Devon, I swear, this is the last time I put up with him!" she mumbles to herself as she steps out of her car.

A dark figure then steps out from beneath the shadows. "Hello Cordelia." Xander grins. "Miss me?"

Cordelia gasps in horror, dropping her keys. She tries to kneel down to grab them but Xander quickly kicks them far under her car. Xander shakes his head. "Tsk tsk, aren't you happy to see your old boyfriend." An evil grin spreads as he then begins to lean in closer to her.

Cordelia tries to back away, "Um, aren't you with will?" she sputters out, trying to remain calm when in fact she is scared out of her mind.

Xander smiles, "Willow is ok, but she is no Cordelia chase." He then looks hungrily at her.

"You know what, you really shouldn't try to make any sudden moves. Cause Buffy and angel are on their way here!" Cordelia lies.

"I'd like to see them try and stop me." Xander then morphs to his vamp face and lunges at her. Cordelia dodges Xander and quickly runs to the front door of her house. She turns at the doorknob franticly, but the door wont open. She then cries as she continues to try and open the door. "NO!" she screams out as she realizes it is locked. She then quickly turns around and looks side to side. Not seeing Xander anywhere in sight she quickly makes a mad dash back to her car as she then kneels down and tries to reach under the car, feeling around, trying to find the keys, for what seemed like forever. She finally feels something metal, "Yes!" she says as she pulls the keys out from under the car. Just as she turns around, there is Xander standing right in front of her.

"So where's Buff." He says smiling. "I think someone's bluffing."

Cordelia just stands there, wide eyed with fear, unable to say anything.

"Too bad, we could have had our self a reunion." He laughs.

"Please, let me go. You don't want to hurt me, a part of you must realize that." she cries.

"Hmm, your right Cordy I can't hurt you. That's why I am going to let you go."

"Really," she says wiping her tears.

"No." Xander laughs. "God Cordelia, you are still so gullible. But don't worry, this will only hurt, a lot!"

He then leans into her neck. Cordelia squirms franticly. Xander is then suddenly jerked back by a strong force. He looks to see Amy standing their holding a wooden cross in front of her. Xander growls angrily.

"Back off creep!" Amy says in a stern voice.

Xander growls, exposing his fangs as the cross is shoved in front of him.

Cordelia quickly unlocks her car door while Amy still held Xander back with the cross. "Get in!" Cordy yells out.

Amy quickly opens the car door and gets in.

Xander growls out "Damn it!" as he watches the car drive off.

Cordelia increases her speed, trying to get as far away as she can.

"Um, Cordelia, you can slow down now." Amy remarks as she stuffs the wooden cross back into her purse.

"Oh, right." She says as she eases off the gas. "So what are you doing coming to my place anyways?"

"Some thank you for saving your life!" Amy says sarcastically.

"Sorry." She says, still keeping her eyes on the road.

"I was bored, I was coming over hoping you would change your mind and let me turn Devon into a rat." She says shrugging.

"Well you certainly do have good timing!" she says as she pulls her car in front of the school.

The whole group is in the library when Amy and Cordelia swing the doors open. "I should of known you dorks would still be here." She says as she enters.

"Nice to see you too." Buffy says sarcastically with a smile.

Giles slides his glasses on, "Um, Cordelia, is their something you need. We are kind of in the middle of something. Is it important?"

"Oh its no big deal, I was only attacked by Xander!"

Everyone's attention picks up; Giles looks at her in concern. "Good lord, are you alright?"

"Yeah, thanks to Amy." Cordelia sits down.

"At least everyone is alright." Jenny replies.

"Yes, but for how long!" Cordy says angrily.

* * *

Xander enters the sewers furious about Cordelia escaping. Willow walks up to him, "where have you been?" she asks suspiciously.

"No where important, just needed to take a walk to clear my mind." He then put his arms around Willow and kisses her to reassure her.
