(LA Night)A Mid-Patrol Night's Dream

[killian]

I was getting tired of this. Maya was suddenly attracted to me, and it was frightening, Joshua seemed like he was going to make out with the mirror, Nicki looked like she was going to grab him. Rory had pushed Rachelle to the floor and had hijacked Maya, Spike and another form of Maya were gazing at each other, as were Aredhel and Zeroc.

Seeing as I was the only sane one here, I decided to take control of the situation.

"Alright, can everyone stop what you are doing, now!" I shouted, and everyone turned to look at me. Great, now that I had their attention. "Something is going on, and I mean in a bad way. Spike! I told you to stop what you were doing!" I shouted and glared at Spike who was kissing Maya's neck...but there was another Maya at the bar next to Rory...my head started to hurt.

[Joshua]

You know . . . I never noticed how absolutely amazing I look. The way the light catches my best side, and I have incredibly blue eyes. And that hair! I knew I was good looking before, but this . . . this was just drop dead gorgeous.

Huh? Oh, that Irish guy's trying to get everyone's attention. Not important. He's not me. Nobody's me, now that I think of it. Nobody is as beautiful or . . . intelligent, or absolutely amazing as I am. This was like a life changing revelation as I continued to admire my beautifully strong body.

I remembered having Slayer powers, and knew that I deserved them. Only I deserved them because they made me better, they made me even more amazing than I had been.

I smiled to myself, ignoring the Irish idiot, as I came to the undeniable, unfallible conclusion that there was only one thing left to do. Make myself even more amazing than ever before. And then make everyone else in the world realize how amazing I was too, and then they would all of course fall in love with me.

Not that I cared what anyone else thought or believed, but having billions of adoring, love sick fans could only make me even more amazing that I already am.

((( Can all of you say "Uh-oh" ? )))

[rachelle]

I glared at Maya, well one of them anyway. One of the Maya's was with Spike, and the other with Rory. I was only interested with Rory. But I realised, if people were using their powers to get what they want, why couldn't I?

I shifted into my demon form, and concentrated. Time froze and I grinned to myself. I walked over to Maya and Rory, and picked Rory up. He was frozen, and didn't bend so well, but i started to walk out of the Spot. I froze though, having just got a brilliant idea. I put Rory down...carefully of course, and made my way to Maya. I took the salsa sauce that was on the counter and put a handful of it on her face. Serve her right, that b*tch.

Grinning, I picked Rory up and proceeded out of the spot. As soon as I got outside, I shifted back to my human form and concentrated. Time resumed as normal, and I found myself looking into Rory's eyes.

[Joshua]

I frowned as I felt the disturbance. Somebody was manipulating time! No, that is not right. Only *I* deserve the power to change time, or stop it, or reverse it. I sneered as I watched from my point of view, looking in the mirror, as Rachelle, stupid bastard girl, freeze time and then take the boy from my girlfriend, and then squirt some liquid in the other Slayer's face. My frown deepened.

Not because of her defacing Maya like that, well yes actually because of that, but not out of loyalty to Maya. Because Maya was my girlfriend, she made me look good, standing by my side, occasionally helping me fight and kill demons, ungratefuly hateful creatures that only deserve to be wiped out. Defacing my girlfriend was like defacing the image of what I was.

With a thought, the moment that Rachelle froze time, I refroze it and went out to where the half-demon, therefore half dead girl, had taken the boy. I frowned, probably giving myself worry-wrinkles, as I considered what to do with them. The boy I just sent back inside with a simple time bubble.

But Rachelle . . .

She had been a thorn in my side for very long. And she was half demon. But she did have a very pretty body, and her hair matched mine. We could probably go to the hair salon together and it would compliment me greatly to go in with her on my arm and then the two of us leaving with the same hair style.

She got to live, but I couldn't let her defacing my girlfriend go unpunished. With a thought, a Time bubble transported us back into the Spot, and ripped off her clothes, leaving her in her underwear.

She's just lucky I didn't do anything to her hair, I arrogantly thought as I resumed time only a couple of seconds after I had stopped it.

[rachelle]

I screamed as I realized what had happened. I was in my underwear! In the middle of the Spot! And everyone was staring! I screamed again, but in frustration. I knew who had done this to me. I lunged at Joshua.

[killian]

It happened really fast. Suddenly, Maya had salsa sauce on her face, and Rachelle was in her underwear. She glared at Joshua and tried to pounce on him.

I grabbed hold of her, while she was in the air, and she was stopped from hurting him.

"Let go of me, Killian!" She screamed, twisting and turning in my arms.

I didn't, and I forced her arms down. She looked at me, and I glared at her. "Don't be stupid 'Chelle. He'll kick you're arse."

"I'll kill him! That bastard!" She yelled at his direction. He ignored her.

"No you won't." I said firmly, and keeping one hand on her, I removed my jacket. I put it on her shoulders and buttoned it, covering her up. "Now, sit down." She stared up at me defiantly, but I was serious. She sighed at sat down at the bar, giving a longing look at Rory who was trying to clean Salsa off Maya's face. I picked up her clothes and handed it to her. "Go to the toilet and put your clothes on." She didn't agrue, but glared at me hatefully before she left.

I sighed. It was hard being the only sane one.

[rachelle]

I stomped angrily to the bathroom and quickly put my clothes on. I *hated* Joshua for doing that to me! And I also hated Killian for stopping me, when I was trying to hurt Joshua. But it was nice of him to give me his jacket. But I was even more pissed off about the fact that Rory hadn't even asked if I was ok...he didn't even give me his jacket, like Killian had! He had just sat there, attached to Maya.

I stepped out of the bathroom, fully clothed and Killian's jacket around my shoulders. I sat down opposite the bar-opposite Maya and Rory-and decided to sulk.

[Azoth (Kyler)]

My thoughts kept on colliding with each other, as if I was still partly in control, but mostly not...

'I cannot love!' I thought, 'It will ruin my reputation!'

But I couldn't help but be in love with Aredhel... the mixed thoughts led me to decide to bring her outside, which she accepted to do, I also grew skin (all apart for my left arm) and quickly dressed myself in clothes I found in a donation box...

'now, outside is where me and Aredhel could really show each other... no, wait a second, why am I... Aredhel... get out! Get out! Get out of my head!... Aredhel, be mine...' My thoughts, I couldn't control them,... eventually, the ones of Aredhel consumed me... leaving the logical ones out...

I sat with Aredhel outside, moving slowly, with my head, towards her's...


(((This is really wierd!! )))

[Cervil]

I looked around at the strange sight, of everyone liking the wrong people! I stood there, watching the strange sight, Killian being possibly the only one that was still normal, strangely, so was I!!

I wondered why I wasn't falling for the same spell, I was an ordinary human!! No magic powers to protect me!! I should be MOST vonerable!!

'Oh well!' I thought, 'I guess I should be thankful!'

[Jessy Jackson]

(((Cevil, you saw what I did to Joshua. Fall in love NOW!!!!!!!!!!!)))

[killian]

I was getting annoyed. Everyone was getting caught up in their lovers, and no one was thinking straight. This wasn't natural! Joshua is supposed to be in love with Maya, not himself! Rory and Jessy are supposed to be in love, and Maya is supposed to be in love with Joshua, not me! Things were getting out of hand.

Striding over to Joshua, I promptly removed him from his reflection and pushed him in a chair. He looked set to argue, but I honestly didn't care what he did to me.
Then, I walked quickly over to Maya, who seemed to brighten up as i approached.

"Maya, can you sit here please?" I said as kindly as I could, gesturing to the seat next to Joshua.

She frowned. "Will you be joining me?" She purred, and I nodded, against my will.

"Soon. But just stay there, ok?" She moved over to the seat, and I found myself being glared down by Rory. "Kill me later, Rory." I said roughly. Sit there, next to Nicki." I said. He did as he was told. I glanced at Rachelle, who was half sulking, half gazing wistfully at Rory. I loved the girl, and would do anything to sit next to her at that moment, but I had more important things to do.

My next task was to get aredhel and zeroc back in here. I popped outside, ignored the mass make-out sesson and asked them to come inside. They did, without a fuss.

Soon, I had everyone sat down, and no one was trying to feel up anyone. I stood in the middle of the group, and adressed them all.

"Something, or someone has messed with your minds. That is why you're all feeling like this." I started, but they just wouldn't listen to me. I tried to get their attention, but no one would listen. In the end, I just gave up and sat down and put my head in my hands, frustrated. The other's got back to what they were doing-making out, groping and fighting, and I just sat and watched it all hopelessly. And I tried to stay away from Maya.

[Nicola Next]

It was hopeless. Joshua refused to even look at me as he stroked the mirror in front of him. My cheek still burned from the slap but my heart was still fluttering from the kiss

'Joshua?'

He mumbled a reply and I sighed, my heart breaking as everyone else fought or tried to grab their affections attention. Everything was stupid. Everything was crappy. I wanted nothing more than to just be looked at by him, just to be noticed by him!

Gathering my courage I stood up and punched the mirror, the shards getting under my skin but I didn't care

'Seven years bad luck is nothing compared to my heartache! You're just like all the others... I hate myself for even thinking about you'

[killian]

I looked up at the sound of glass shattering. Nicki had broken the mirror Joshua had. Thankfully.

But there was another problem, because Maya had gotten away from Rory, and she was heading over to me...

[Maya]

"Killian." I said, very sincerely, "I know you think i'm under some spell, but you really shouldn't have such low expectations for yourself! No spell is needed to make me love you! You are the most wonderful, corageous, incredible..."
"Maya, Stop." He said, shaking his head. He spun me around to face the rest of the group, saying, "Look at them. Does this look normal to you? Rory used to like Jessy, and Jessy liked him back. Spike's never had a crush on you, but Joshua not long ago declared his LOVE for you, though now he doesnt give a damn and loves himself!"
"Joshua's always loved himself." I scoffed."And rory and spike falling for me..." I sighed, "It was gonna happen sometime- can you blame them?"
"Listen to yourself!" Killian cried, "Thats NOT you!"
I wasn't listening- i was frowning at some of the others.
"But now you mention it... Nicki never used to like Josh... and i coulda sworn Rachelle was like in love with you..."
Now would have been the perfect time to interject, but Killian was just gaping instead.
"HEy!" I cried, "Joshua said something about a spell too! I've got it! Maybe they're all under a spell!!"
"Exactly!" Killian cried when he found his voice.
"So now we need to figure out what sort of spell, right baby?" I said, taking his hand, "We can do it together."
He rolled his eyes.

[Jessy Jackson]

I took a chance and shifted back. Spick reeled off and turned, but the words flowing of my toungue soon brought him back.

"Spike, it's me, Mai. That's Jessy, pretending to be me. So I decided to be in a glamour of her. She is SO desperate and it hurts me that she tried to impersonate me. Could you teach her a lesson for me?"
