Oz stood in silence (his trademark), stunned as he watched this crazy guy with the messed up face snatch a girl from the crowd adn begin to suck on her neck. "No way..." he muttered to himself. there was NO WAY these guys were real, legitimate vampires.
Oz had be shunted to one side of the stage with his band buddies when the gang had come in. Looking around, Oz saw that every exit to the Bronze was blocked by more crinkly-faced freaks. They're gonna kill every one of us. h erealized. they had to get out somehow!

Willow sees that the band members are looking around them trying to find a way out. One looks pretty cool, taking responsibility to lead the others and when he appears to be looking at her, she motions to him to get his attention.
She sees Buffy on the stage, fighting with the large vampire. It looked to her like Buffy was really being challenged and she worried for her, but tried to remember- it's Buffy she can do this.

The Master sat on his throne underground, his face an expressionless mask. Over and over again, The Master had been disappointed by his subjects, mostly from his former disciple Angel, and also that damned, mischievous Slayer. The one they call "Buffy". Bah! What kind of a name is that? He knew that all he needed was a little more patience. After all, if there was one thing The Master had learned in his eons of living, is that time conquers all.....well, time and yours truly, of course.

Thanks CourtneyDax. That also seems like an interesting idea because it gives you a chance to be a lot of different people.

Buffy is having a hard time fighting this guy. He's tough she thought. But she also knew she was clever. Think, she tells herself. A tiny beam of light shines out from behind her and she looks at this hideous creature before her. He lunges at her, misses and then stands back, regrouping. During this time she grabs something, anything she can reach, and knocks out the wall behind her to expose the light. He's panic stricken, thinking it's daytime but before he realizes his mistake, she stakes him and watches him turn to dust. She runs over to Willow, Xander and Giles to see how they are doing. They had managed to get a lot of people out of there and she breathes a sigh of relief that it's over.

It was the fumigation party at the bronze.
"Whats wrong Buff?" Willow said
"Ah nothing"
"Is it guys again? you like a guy don't you" Willow smiled excitedly
"I Do , and usually thats fine with me but.." Buffy shrugged
"It's Angel isn't it" Willow smiled again
"Yeah i could just see him in a realtionship hi honey your in danger! see you next month"
"At least he notices you Xanders never gonna notice me" Willow's smile dropped
"Hey! im sure he does , Will if you want Xander you gotta let him know"
Xander walked over to Buffy and Willow "Whoa lets not stop this wirly gig of fun"
"Okay im leaving now im bringing my friends down too" Buffy grabbed her coat and left the bronze

Willow wakes up the next morning, dazed from all the things she'd seen and done in the last couple of days. She feels like her life is completely different. As she picks out her clothes, she suddenly remembers one thing that remains completely normal- Xander. She'll see him today at school. She wears a pair of orange pants and a long teal shirt with bell-sleeves and brushes her teeth and hair with a smile on her face.
At school she runs into Buffy waiting in line to sign up for cheerleading tryouts. Willow smiles at Buffy, happy for her, and thinking how much she would never in a million years consider it herself.

Joyce finds herself starring at a bunch of crates that are taking up most of her kitchen counter; the packages she'd ordered had arrived this morning. Joyce busies herself as she begins unpacking the crates, check list in hand so that she can inventory each item received. From the looks of things, Joyce can tell that this is going to take up most of her day; good thing she doesn't really have any other plans and can devote her time to what needs to be done. "Hopefully Buffy can lend a hand when she gets home from school," Joyce thinks to herself. "This will get done a lot faster with two pairs of hands." Joyce has a lot to do before her gallery's grand opening and can use all the help she can get! She continues unpacking crates as her thoughts settle on her daughter. "Isn't Buffy trying out for something at school today? Cheerleading?" Joyce hates to admit that she has been so busy the past few days, she can't exactly remember what it is her daughter is trying out for. Whatever it is, Joyce hopes that it goes well for her daughter. She considers that perhaps Buffy is in need of an extracurricular activity to ensure that she stays out of trouble here in Sunnydale...well, as long as she can keep her grades up, of course. Joyce will support anything her daughter wishes to pursue as long as it means that there will not be a repeat of LA. With this in mind, Joyce finishes unpacking another crate as she marks it off her list.

After dinner, Willow gets on her computer hoping to find some other mention or maybe even a support group for women who loved men who didn't love them back. She'd spent all day watching Xander make googly eyes over the cheerleaders and give Buffy a bracelet. She wanted to wait. She knew he cared about her, but she also knew that he saw her only as a friend. A little hacking she does later on reminds her that she was proud of herself earlier when she'd helped the team with her computer abilities. There was a certain empowered feeling she was getting from these new experiences that she liked. Maybe it would even lead to Xander.
*******
When Buffy gets home, she finds the living room, kitchen and some of both the bedrooms filled with crates. Her mother finally appears amidst the jungle of boxes, excited and a little mussed. Her mother asks about school and the most exciting thing Buffy can say is to tell her about the accident the cheerleader had. This reminds her mother about her tryouts. Buffy's disappointed that her mother couldn't remember, but is also happy to see the hard-working woman's smiling face. She decides to help her before it's time for dinner.

Angel sat in his room alone. He didn't mind being Alone but sometimes he wished he had a normal life. Sighing he took of his top and started doing press-ups on the floor.
After a while he grew tired and sat on his bed and started reading. He knew Buffy had stopped the harvest but how long untill the Master tried to free himself again

Buffy and her mother get about half of the crates labeled and sorted, while her mother goes through her typical mom questions. Is she making friends? Are there any boys she likes? At the last one, a flash of Angel's face appears in her mind but she ignores it and simply tells her mother no.

(Midnight Butterfly has passed Cordy on to me, and he will be playing Harmony. Although we can always swap or share. I guess I will just jump in then...?) Cordelia sat at her vanity table and brushed her hair, after laying out her cheerleading uniform for tryouts. She wondered about all the other girls that she saw on the signup sheet but didn't think they would have a loser's chance in hell of getting on the squad. Buffy however, might give her a run for her money, but she would never admit it to her friends. " I am Cordelia Chase. I rule this school," Cordelia whispered into her reflection, before flashing her winning smile. "Head cheerleader... here I come."

Buffy attends the try-outs again with Willow and Xander to emotionally support her. She's done this before and would be sure she'd have no trouble except for the extensive training some of these girls said they had. Cordelia's selfishness and Amy's troubles dominate the rest of the try-outs. Amy is heartbreaking and Buffy feels she must do something to make her feel better.
********
Willow watches the cheerleaders with awe. She wondered how other people could be so different from her. It particularly confused her that someone like Buffy could be so nice and be able to fit into this arena too. This moment of her standing in the gym watching the try-outs was almost as surprising to her as the vampires had been.

(I figured I'd take Darla)
Darla slowly makes her way to the Master, so as not to bother him. He was talking about that slayer again. It always made him angry. Yes, the cheerleader was strong, but Darla had seen her galavanting with her friends and her mother. Too many easy ways to hurt the small blonde, really. Take away those friends, that family, and she's just a little girl in a big bad world. Yes, Darla smiled around her fangs, the slayer will be no problem at all. She won't outlive the year. And, if she has anything to do about it, her Angel will return to them. The Master hands her a small infant. "Let us dine before we create their demise." "My favorite!" she exclaims before sinking in her fangs.

Joyce was grateful for Buffy's help with the crates, due to her daughter's help they had been able to get a majority of the work done. She had not realized just how strong her daughter was! Joyce had struggled to open each and every crate, crowbar in hand, but it seemed that Buffy had managed to pop the top off of each one with relative ease. "Geez, what are kids eating these days?," Joyce mused as a slight smile crossed her lips. At this rate, Joyce would be ready for her first showing next week! She hadn't meant for Buffy to see the fertility god statue-which wasn't exactly subtle with its phallic imagery- but had forgotten to hide it from her daughter's view before she had opened it. "Oh well," Joyce thought, "Buffy isn't exactly a little girl anymore." This realization struck Joyce with sadness. She new that Buffy was once again trying out for the cheerleading squad at school and internally wished her daughter good luck. Buffy had mentioned something about one of the girls getting in an accident. Joyce hoped the girl was okay.
She began thinking on the previous days events with some sadness. Buffy had gotten a little upset with her mother for not remembering what she was trying out for, and when Joyce had suggested joining the yearbook staff, Buffy had gotten upset. She still didn't see why her daughter had gotten so offended, She herself was on the yearbook staff in school and it had been a lot of fun. - Buffy had called them nerds."I was only trying to help,"Joyce thought regretfully. She knew that Buffy was feeling slighted and ignored. Joyce wished more than anything to be able to spend more time with her daughter but this was just not a good week. She just had so much to get done in preparation for her gallery's first showing! This had not been what had offended Buffy most, however. No, the real kicker had been when Joyce had made the mistake of bringing up the two of them having to move because of Buffy getting kicked out of school in LA - a subject of taboo in the Summers household. Right as the words had escaped her lips Joyce knew she should never had uttered them, but of course it was too late to take them back, the damage had been done. Joyce once again felt a pang regret. She had never meant to hurt her daughter, or to make her feel as though she wasn't a priority. The truth was that the events that had transpired in LA remained forever present in the back of Joyce's mind. She knew that Buffy was really trying to turn over a new leaf, but at the same time she lived in fear that Sunnydale would be LA all over again. Yes, Joyce was feeling like the world's worst parent as she let out a dejected sigh. She hoped that this afternoon would be an opportunity to start fresh, and that perhaps Buffy would even have some good news to report.

"I made it." Cordelia said smugly to Amy. Obviously. As if there was even a shred of doubt. So far the school year is working out as she planned. She made the squad and she knew she was going to snag a senior boyfriend soon. She was always telling Harm that senior boys are the only way to go. Cordelia wondered if she should hit the bronze tonight or turn in early. Harmony was sick and she didn't feel like going by herself, even if it meant that she might run into that guy. Tall, good looks, maybe too much of the deep in thought and broody vibe, but nothing that she couldn't fix. She never actually talked to him, but it was only a matter of time before she would catch his eye, that she was sure of.
She headed to the locker room to change her clothes and get ready for driver's ed, her least favorite class.

The tryouts are over and Willow and Xander leave Buffy inside talking to some of the cheerleaders about the accident. Xander questions Willow frantically about the bracelet he'd given her. "It's almost like we're going out," he concluded. "Except for the hugging, kissing or her even knowing about it," Willow points out. If she was to be totally honest with herself, she enjoyed pointing this out. Not to hurt him, but just so he'd realize how pointless his infatuation is. He should be with her. They've known each other forever and shared so much. Buffy's just some new, pretty girl with superpowers. At this she decides to stop trying to make herself feel better. Xander's feelings are hurt by her comment, she can tell. She decides to try to make it better by nicely suggesting, "If you really want to be with her, why don't you just ask her out?"
**********
When Buffy finally makes it outside with the others, she finds a huddle of cheerleaders with Xander among them. He comes running back out and goes to her. He looks a little frazzled and a little flushed and Buffy wants to smile but she knows he'll ask why. "You're an alternate. That's good right?" he asks her, breathlessly. She sighs, "No, it's not. It means I'll only be on the team if someone else can't do it."

Amy was terribly upset she didn't make tryouts. She went home annoyed.
"I'll show thoose cheerleaders who's not worthy"
Amy chanted a spell and wrapped a piece of Cordelia's clothing around a voodoo doll.
"Let my will be done" Amy smirked and wandered off.
Angel went to The Bronze , he had to have a glimpse of Buffy not seeing her made him feel sad. But he knew he wasn't meant to have contact with the Slayer he was only to watch over her. She was sat with her two friends the Ginger haired girl who looked shy and the annoying boy practically drooling over Buffy. It made Angel abit jealous that he could be with Buffy when he couldn't.
Angel saw a girl running towards him
"Hi im Cordelia" The girl pushed her lips out and pouted she batted her eyelids. She was beautiful but Angel had no interest in her , he only had eyes for Buffy.
"Iv'e got to go see you around...." Angel paused and trailed off.
Buffy looked over the door and saw Cordelia looking rejected
"What's up with Cordy?" Buffy quizzed.
"No idea probley not getting enough attention" Xander remarked
