"Do you think they'll notice we're gone?" Marcie asked, circling her finger on Oz's bare chest.

"Yeah... Hey, maybe we should think about heading back." Oz replied, looking at Marcie, watching her face drop.

The two had snuck off to a broom closet for some alone time, lying on the floor. 

"Why can't we just stay here for a little while longer?" Marcie suggested. 

"What if someone finds us? You think I'd be able to live that down, if Doyle saw me naked while trying to find the bathroom?" Oz quipped, but Marcie wasn't laughing.

"You don't like that I told everyone about us." Marcie stated, sitting up. 

"It was a bit sudden for me, but it doesn't define us. You wanted to tell everyone because it made you happy, so it makes me happy too." Oz replied, which somewhat settled Marcie. 

"You have a way with words." Marcie joked, giggling lightly. 

"One of my many traits." Oz returned, smirking at his girlfriend's happiness. "But, really, James might get a bit mad if he needs us and we're in the Janitor's closet." 

"Fine." Marcie sighed, picking herself up off the floor to get dressed. "Oz, remember what we talked about earlier?" 

"What's that?" Oz asked, pulling his pants up. 

"About us leaving and living together somewhere, just the two of us." Marcie reminded. 

"Oh...yeah? What about it?" Oz said, pausing when he realised that he'd forgotten about that. 

"Just take your time. As long as we get to do this kinda stuff often then I'm fine waiting for as long as it takes." Marcie smiled, throwing her shirt over her head with a smile. 

"I love you." Oz said, suddenly, although he initially meant it to sound more as a joke. 

"You- you what?" Marcie asked, taken by surprise at Oz's admission. 

"I... I love you." Oz repeated, this time with complete seriousness. 

"I love you too."

"Incoming!" James exclaimed, as a massive ball of fire was flung in his and Faith's direction. 

"Yes, I can see that!" Faith replied, sarcastically, as she bolted for safety. 

The massive fire demon was coated in flames, spitting balls of fire at the two that were three times it's own size. They had followed the walk-in's directions to the abandoned building where he and a couple friends had snuck in to perform a silly ritual that they didn't think would work. Turns out, the summoning book was very much real, and not silly in any way. 

James and Faith had each grabbed a weapon and prepared for the worst, although the walk-in had neglected to mention the fire. 

The fire ball left a gaping hole through about four walls of the building. Faith and James peered through the hole at the demon, which seemed like it couldn't see them. 

"Is it blind?" James asked, in a whispered voice. "Any ideas how we deal with this?"

"Bucket of water?" Faith suggested. "Your guess is as good as mine." 

"Alright, fuck it." James said, standing up to throw his sword back. He let go of it mid-swing and it flew in the direction of the demon, piercing it through the skull. It collapsed to the ground and Faith stood up in shock. 

"I guess brute force gets the job done." Faith noted, as James walked over to the demon, it's flames now extinguished. 

"Just to be safe." James mumbled, taking the sword out of the face of the demon to decapitate it.
