"Have you ever seen the moon dance?" Drusilla asked the doctor who was scanning her brain.

"The Moon doesn't dance. It's a large rock floating in space" the man was tired of her insane ramblings.

"No. You're thng fng from the wrong perspective" Drusilla turned and spoke directly at him "She dances so beautiful"

"I take it you think of the Moon as a person?" the doctor rolled his eyes "If it weren't for the activity in you brain, that's 62.358% higher than every other life form, I'd think you were just crazy, not Clairvoyant"

"But I am crazy" Drusilla sighed "I just can't seem to fight it anymore"

"How are the test going Doctor?" Cash entered the room and stood expectantly waiting for an answer.

"Test are going great. Her brain activity is above that of normal humans and vampires" the doctor reported unhooking the Vampire from the MRI machine.

"How far above?" Cash eyed Drusilla warily. She'd already killed two of her gaurds. Hypnotized them then sucked them dry.

"She uses almost 74% of her brain" the doctor reported.

"Have you ever seen the moon dance?" Drusilla asked Ca
\
"74% Doctor?" Cash rolled her eyes.

"You really should read up on your Prophecies" the child's voice came from behind her "It would help"

"You little escape artist" Cash lifted the child into her arms "How is it your always right behind me?"

"Shadow's walk too" the little girl said softly.

"Ainsley dear your beginning to sound as insane as that Vampire" Cash told the little girl as she carried her back to her cell.

"She just want's to you think she's insane. She see's everything more clearly than we could ever hope to" Ainsley said honestly "but you really should read about Tabierna"

"I wanna know something" Anya lay on her stomach considering the two couples before her "You guys are in love right?"

Buffy and Hyatt both moved to say something but Anya cut them off.

"Oh don't deny it, it's written across both your faces" Anya waved "And I heard you tell each other. So what is it I'm missing about this girl-on-girl action?"

"Hello" Dawn waved her hand infront of Anya's face "Children in the room"

"Star's asleep and I'm pretty sure you know about sex" Anya rolled her eyes.

"Star could wake up, and you figure out this girl-on-girl thing yourself" Hyatt said her chin resting on Bufs bas back.

Buffy lay on her stomach playing a game of cards with Tara as they both spoke softly too each other.

Willow was slowly rubbing Tara's back and skimming through a spell book, while Dawn and Anya took turns asking strange questions.

"Willow are you and Tara ever gonna get married?" Dawn asked twirling her hair around her finger.

"Yes" Willow said looking up from the book "Just as soon as she decides to set a date"

"I wanna wait and get married at the same t-time as Buffy and Hyatt" Tara said laying down a 10 to Bufy's Jack.

Buffy and Hyatt both looked up in amazement.

"We haven't said anything about getting married" Hyatt argued.

"It's writted across your face" Anya said again.

"Hey I have a killer poker face. Ain't nothing written here" Buffy said mimicking Willow's resolve face with amazing accuracy.

Hyatt began to press on hidesides, hitting every single ticklish spot the slayer had.

Buffy burst into laughter anlarglarge smile graced her face.

"Poker face my ass" Hyatt teased "I poke ya once and your face falls"

Buffy made a face at her and pulled her down for a kiss.

Everyone smirked at each other before interrupting the couple.

"You might as well set a date, there's no fighting love" Willow sighed "Not that you'd fight it in the first place"

"Willow we just started this relationship" Buffy said breaking off the kiss.

"We should see where this goes before making any permenant plans" Hyatt said quietly "We don't even know if we can stand each other yet"

"Oh I could stand plently of you" Buffy growled.

"I've got plently to give" Hyatt leaned in and kissed her again.

Everyone shook their heads.

Love Birds.

Kalindi couldn't get the kiss out of her head. Another thing she didn't get was Naida's attitude.

She acted as if she hadn't given her Mistress the kiss of her after-life.

Like it was a meaningless little thing like a hug between friends. She hadn't brought it up, hadn't even spared Kalindi and extra look "N "Naida" Kalindi whispered and sighed.

"Yes"

Kalindi jumped when the Seer's voice came from directly behind her.

"Do not sneak up on me like that!" her face contorted into her game face and she snarled.

"You've been rude. Go to my room!"

Naida didn't even flinch. She left the main chamber and disappeared into Kalindi's private rooms.

Kalindi didnt' know why she'd send the girl back there. What was she gonna do? Spank her?

A vision of her doing just that appeared behind her eyes.

She had the girl laid across her lap and was smacking her naked backside.

Kalindi shook herself before she became too aroused.

Just then minion's burst through the door. There were 27 less then when they left.

"What is the meaning of this? Where are the others?" Kalindi demanded.

There were 10 minions before her.

"Slayer. It was like she came out of the dark. She just attacked us" the eldest minion reported. Not the leader she'd sent then out with. But his third in command.

"Damn this Slayer is beginning to piss me off" Kalindi rose and began to pace "There has to be some kind of weakness in her. A parent, alover maybe?"

"There is, but she is beyond our reach" a wounded minion said coming forward slowly, favoring her right side.

"Nothing is beyond my reach" Kalindi turned and faced the lowly vamp "who is she?"

"She slays with the Slayer. I've seen them together. They were hunting the newly risen. I recognized her. Anyone would" the minion backed away only to be caught and pushed forward by the shadows that Kalindi commanded.

"Who is she" the Master growled.

"She is an Al-Faqadi" the minion managed before Kalindi grabbed her neck.

"Fatima's?" Kalinda released the Vamp "One of her 'children' I presume?"

"Yes" the minion held her bruised throat.

"Which one?" Kalindi sat back down a plan forming in her mind. Al-Faqadi blood brought great strength and power. If she just had a 'taste' of it...

"One of the 'special' ones. Either Mycah or Hyatt" the minion tried to remember which "I didn't hear the Slayer say her name but you always know when it's one of them"

"Hyatt and Mycah? I'm unaware of which these are. I've never heard their names. The Seer doesn't mention these names" Kalindi growled.

She swarmed from her throne and into her private rooms.

"NAIDA!" she bellowed when she entered her bedchamber.

The Seer rushed in moments later "Yes Mistress?"

"Who are they? Fatima's 'special' ones?" she tried to calm herself.

"The ones she favors?" Naida dropped to the floor and began to draw her symbols in the dirt. She chanted a few words. The dirt began to seeth, lifting from the floor in a small whirlwind, showing and hiding the answer "I can't see it. There's a strong protection spell"

Kalindi growled and tense to keep herself from hurting the girl again "Do the names Mycah and Hyatt ring a bell?"

"No" Naida paused "though a few of them do go by more American names. I think they're true names were to hard to pronounce"

"And too easy to protect" Kalindi paced.

After tense, silent minutes Naida spoke.

"Mistress"

"Yes" Kalindi turned and met Naida's soft eyes.

The girl's eyes rested on her body, seemingly taking it in.

Naida looked hard at Kalindi.

The vampire sighed as the shadows she wore fell away, revealing her naked form.

"Truth or Dare?" Dawn suggested.

It was going on Midnight. Buffy had chosen not to patrol that evening.

"ay"ay"

"Come on"

"I think not"

The negatives chorused.

"How about 'I Never'" Hyatt suggested.

"How do you play that?" Willow asked.

"Someone says something they've never done, and everyone who's done it has to, do something" Hyatt thought "Like drink something, or I dunno kiss somebody"

"I'm In" Buffy said sig upg up.

"Me too" Tara sat upright.

"I guess" Willow said "But I'll make something weird to drink. I don't trust your lips and my girl"

Hyatt's jaw dropped, and Buffy started laughing. Tara flushed.

"Possessive much?" Anya asked.

Willow slapped her head on the way to the kitchen.

"Ow"

"You playing Anya" Buffy asked covering her laugh with a indiscreet cough.

"You bet. I wanna 'I Never' the hell out of that girl" Anya smirked.

"Can I play too?" Dawn asked feeling left out.

"Yeah Dawnie" Tara patted her on her back "Your playing is a given"

"Cool" Dawn got comfotable "So who's gonna start?"

"Hyatt because she suggested the game" Willow came back in with a pitcher something yellow and icky looking.

She took her spot next to Tara.

"Okay. I've never........"Hyatt thought it over for a moment "I've never kissed a guy"

Willow just shook her head and poured the yellow crap in everyones cup "Bottoms up"

"Do we have to drink the whole thing or just sip it?" Dawn asked looking into her cup lik mig might be alive.

"Sip" Buffy and Hyatt said in unison.

Everyone but Tara sipped and sighed.

"It just looks nasty" Willow smirked.

"It's sweet" Dawn said "Kinda fruity"

"Who's next?" Tara asked.

"Buffy, we'll go clockwise" Willow said.

"I've never...kissed Xander" Buffy laughed at the look on Anya's face when Willow took a sip.

"It was like way back in High School. I don't even remember it that well" Willow said quickly at Anya's dark look.

"Your turn Anya" Tara said.

"I've never kissed Tara" Anya growled.

Willow lifted her cup to her lips, but stopped when she saw Hyatt do the same "Hey"

Hyatt laughed and lowered the cup "Just kidding"

Willow narrowed her eyes and sipped.

"I've never.....hmmm cast a love spell" Dawn smiled.

Hyatt and Willow both sipped.

Buffy gave Hyatt a look.

"It wasn't for me" Hyatt pouted.

Buffy rolled her eyes.

"I've never gotten a tattoo" Willow said quickly unable to think of anything else yet.

Buffy and Hyatt exchanged a look.

"It doesn't count" Hyatt argued.

"Yes it does" Buffy countered.

"It wasn't my choice" Hyatt whined.

"It's still there" Buffy shrugged.

"You have a tattoo!" Dawn was surprised. Hyatt didn't seem the tattoo type.

"It's tribal. It shouldn't count" Hyatt pleaded.

"C-can we see?" Tara asked honestly intrigued.

"Yeah we wanna see" Willow sat up on here'se's.

Hyatt stood and Buffy pulled up the back of her shirt.

It was a curling design that they all thought beautiful but only one understood.

"The stairway of life" Tara said just loud enough for them all to hear. She ran her finger gently over the signs "This means Life, this" she traced the spiral design "is the actual stairway. This means love" she stopped and traced the last sign "I don't know what this means"

"That's so cool" Dawn's face lit up.

"You cannot get a tattoo" Buffy said dropping Hyatt's shirt.

"Aw come on" Dawn pleaded "your girlfriend has one"

"My girlfriend isn't 15" Buffy shot back.

"I've never fallen in love at first sight" Dawn said quickly.

Everyone drank.
