Looking out of the window of Mom's car I saw my new school 'Sunnydale High' and sighed I wasn't ready to go back to school what if I accidentally use my telekinesis and hurt someone, at least Giles is close by in case.

"Have a fun day at school!" Mom shouted as Buffy and I got out of the car, staring up at the building I groaned "I don't think that's physically possible" Buffy laughed and pulled me inside.

After getting my timetable Buffy and I caught up with Willow and Xander "So are we still on for Halloween shopping?" Xander asked holding the straps of his back pack, We all nodded and walked down the hall.

Walking down the hall we saw Principal Snyder handing out forms for the safety program for Halloween. Snyder takes one of the clipboards and looks around the hall and grabs a girl that walks by and pulls her aside "Hey!" She shouts looking at Snyder like he was crazy.

"You're volunteering" he told her holding out a clipboard and pen to her. "Snyder must be in charge of the volunteer safety program for Halloween this year" Willow says pointing to the Principal who was still grabbing random people.

"Note his interesting take on the volunteer concept" Xander says sarcastically making us laugh "What's the deal?" I asked leaning against Willow's locker as she works the combination. "Oh, a bunch of little kids need people to take them trick-or- treating. Sign up and get your own pack of sugar-hyped little runts for the night"

Willow slams her locker and we walk down the hall, grimacing I looked at Buffy who was also pulling a face "Yikes. We'll stick to vampires" I nodded in agreement and jumped when I felt a hand grab my shoulder.

"The Summers Twins, Just the juvenile delinquents I've been looking for" Snyder called out looking at me and Buffy "I've only been here an hour" I whispered, Snyder looked at me seriously "I've read your file" he tells me dryly as I glared.

"Halloween must be a big night for you. Tossing eggs, keying cars, bobbing for apples, one pathetic cry for help after another. Well, not this year" Snyder says to me and Buffy as I continued to look offended.

"I've never keyed a car, joy rided sure but never keyed" I muttered to Willow and Xander making Buffy nudge me with her elbow when Snyder looked at me darkly. "Gosh, I'd love to sign up, but I recently developed carpal tunnel syndrome, and can tragically no longer hold a flashlight" Buffy says stuttering looking at us for help.

Snyder holds up the clipboard and pen "The program starts at four, the children have to be back at six" He tells us all, Buffy reluctantly grabs the pen and clipboard and signs herself up before passing it to me and I begrudgingly wrote my name.

Xander chuckles behind us obviously thinking it's funny and smiles back at Willow but Willow has a knowing look on her face. I smile as Snyder holds pens out to Willow and Xander too "We're going to have some much fun together" I told them sarcastically with a smirk as they both look at Snyder before Willow gives in and takes the pen.

Walking down another hall we were all silent and upset at having been forced to sign up for the safety program "I can't believe this. We have to get dressed up and the whole deal?" Xander said unbelieving.

We all nodded "Snyder said costumes were mandatory" Willow muttered looking at us "Great. We were going to stay in and veg. The one night a year things are supposed to be quiet for me" I looked at Buffy confused.

"Halloween quiet? Oh, I figured it'd be a big old vamp scare- apalooza" Xander said to us as we walked into what looked like a lounge area "Not according to Giles. He swears that tomorrow night is, like, dead for the undead. They stay in"

"Those wacky vampires! That's why I love 'em! They just keep you guessing!" Xander joked, I nodded and looked at my upset friends "it's not like we weren't going to get costumes anyway" I told them as Xander walked over to the vending machine.

Me, Willow and Buffy talked about ideas for Halloween costumes for the safety program tonight "So I'm thinking something really simple" Willow told us with a small shrug , I nodded and turned to Buffy who was watching Xander "Hold that thought Will".

We watched as Buffy stood and walked over to Xander who was being pushed around by a jock, I gasped as the jock grabs Xander by the shirt with his right hand. He balls his left hand into a fist and draws back for a punch. Buffy grabs his wrist, pulls it behind his back

and slams his head into the vending machine.

She pulls the jock back from the machine and shoves him away, Xander looks at Buffy incredulously "I think she just did something bad" I told Willow when Xander looked more upset the closer they got to us.

"Oh, that? Forget about it!" Buffy tells Xander who throws his hands up "Oh, I'll forget about it. In maybe fifteen, twenty years when my rep for being a sissy man finally fades!" We all cringe when Xander shouts that, Buffy definitely did a big no no.

Buffy stops in front of us and turns to Xander "Xander, don't you think you're..." Xander puts his hand up and sighs "A black eye heals, Buffy, but cowardice has an unlimited shelf life. Oh, thanks! Thanks a lot for your help".

He grabs his bag from the table and walks off in a huff. Buffy moans and sits back down with us "I think I just violated the guy code big time" Me and Willow nodded slowly as Buffy as she pouted.

Taking the Dr Pepper from Buffy's hand I drank some as Willow tried to reason with Buffy "Poor Xander. Boys are so fragile Speaking of, how was your date the other night?" I passed the can back as Buffy sighed miserably.

"Misfire. I was late due to unscheduled slayage. Showed up looking trashed" Buffy muttered shrugging her shoulders "Was he mad?" I asked her as she folded her arms looking upset "Actually he was pretty unmad. Which probably had something to do with the fact that Cordelia was drooling in his cappuccino"

Willow and I looked at each other with a grimace "Oh, Buffy. Angel would never fall for her act" I told her rubbing her arm, this must be what she was telling me last night "You mean that 'actually showing up, wearing a stunning outfit, embracing personal hygiene' act?" Buffy whispered to us.

We shook our heads "You know what I mean. Uh, she's not his type" Willow told Buffy stuttering obviously not sure on how to respond "Are you sure? I mean, I don't know what his type is. I've known him less than a year, and if you haven't noticed, he's not exactly one to over share"

We nodded in silence thinking about Angel and Buffy "True. It's too bad we can't sneak a look at the Watcher diaries and read up on Angel. I'm sure it's full of fun facts to know and tell" Willow said looking at Buffy with a small smirk.

Buffy looked up at us with a smile "Yeah. It's too bad. That stuff is private" I smiled knowing Buffy was feeling better "Also Giles keeps them in his office. In his personal files" Willow continues nonchalantly still smirking.

I felt Buffy's arm wrap around my shoulder "Most importantly, it would be wrong but if only we had someone that could get the book without touching it and being seen" I looked at both girls when they started smiling at me deviously.

"What? Oh no my powers should never be used for evil" I told them with a straight face before laughing "I was only kidding let's go" We all laughed before jumping from the table and running towards the library.
