Frankly, I didn't care what we had been talking about. All I cared about was the woman in front of me, the wonderful, caring, forgiving woman in front of me that I was just that MUCH more in love with.
And then, it happened again.
We were inside each other's head and it was like we were one mind, one soul, bonded in a way so intimate there are no words to describe it.
It lasted for a single second. But it felt like weeks and weeks of love, joy, pain, guilt, sorrow, truth, and above all of it, acceptance.
I wiped away the single tear that had escaped my eyes, while Mai seemed to be ducking her head until her own complexion cleared well enough. Clearing my throat, I called in the energy of the time-distortion spell, and the normal noise and clatter of the Spot returned around us and everyone quickly made themselves presentable enough so they didn't look nervous, or like they'd just broken down.

Wow. I thought. He loves me. He doesnt just care, he loves me. I felt it. I smiled up at Josh, and he leant against the bar beside me, and held my hand.

"Whenever you two are through," Nicki said teasingly.
In response I just put up another time distortion barrier, this time around only Mai and me. And we spent the next uncountable amount of time making out right in front of our frozen friends.

"Hm." I said happily. "Considering what the screaming match was about... maybe you should unfreeze them now?" I giggled.
"Oh... yeah." He said. I grinned, and with a wave of his hand, time continued, and Nicki gave us a very supicous look. I grinned inncoently.

"That's it?" I said. "That's what the glare's were about? No offense, girl, but if you don't get over it, you're going to make mistakes," Rachelle glared at me with more venom she had Joshua. "Watcher's killed my sister, vampires killed a man that was more like a father to me than anyone else. I was so mad, I almost gave myself to a vampire. Willingly, I didn't care anymore. F*ck the world, it doesn't care, why should I. Then I found out it wasn't a Watcher that killed my sister. It was demon pretending to be a Watcher. All that hate, all the pain, to me and to others for nothing. I almost became everything I hated," I turned for the door, giving her one last look. "If you don't want to go that way, I sugesst you find a way to get past it," and with that I left.

I watched Doc leave, and felt a tightening in my chest... i too had many pains in my past that i would probably never fully get over. Instead i held them in, hid them away, and told myself to get real and stop being a baby. I was a slayer, and i didn't have time to break down like a child.
Then i smirked, thinking of one of the many times Joshua had handled things wrong. I turned to Rachelle,
"Y'know, one time, me an' all o' these guys got killed cos of Joshua?"
SHe gaped.
"He turned back time, stopped it happening, but cos of a spell, I remembered the whole lot, including staking myself... point is, 'Chelle... grudges dont work in this world. Life's too short, and there's too much to fight for. I get why you are pissed, of course i do, but some day you just gotta get past it, even if you cant get over it."

"Like me. I hate my Father but I still send him a birthday card." I cracked a grin as the atmosphere lightened.

"Hey, I apologized for *months* after that. And he got the job done!" I squeaked. Mai just glared at me, but the slowly growing smile on her face ruined the effect.
"Oh, ha. Ha." I grumbled when I realized she was just yanking my chain. Then I felt her yanking something else that made me yelp and jump out of my seat.

(((how the hell am i supposed to know!? An you coulda made that a bit clearer!! You know you made it sound dirty!)))
I grinned at Josh and held up the stake. He rubbed his butt and grinned back. Pretty much everyone else rolled their eyes, and Nicki (guess what?) giggled.

I giggled too and Nicki glared at me. I realized that it was her job to giggle so I shut my school girl side up.

(((I have grown skin in this one and have a long glove with an attached sleave on my left arm so I will blend in with the other humans in the club place thingy...)))
I watched from afar at the human slayers talking to each other... 'I must attack soon' I thought 'Following them will do me no good anymore...'
I watched as some of them left, they were all suspicious of the two at the bar. 'love' I thought 'what a weak emotion, how do they expect to do what they do with such a weakness?'

'Hey!' I glared at Mai 'I do not always giggle! And I wasn't glaring at you Jessy, it's not my job to be the giggly one'

"No, of course you dont." I said. She glared at me, and i grinned wider.
