WHO: Spike OT Janie and Cassie, and OTA
WHEN: Friday night
WHERE: Downtown LA, near Shooting Star etc.
WHY: Read on ...

There was a lot to be said for having a cease-fire with the Slayer crowd. For one thing, you could gather a lot of information when nobody was trying to jam a two-by-four between your ribs. And the word on the street ... on this street, anyway ... always brought something interesting to someone who paid attention.

Spike crushed out his cigarette and got a look around the street. It was quiet tonight. Most of what was going on, went on indoors, and it seemed like most of the people who were going about there business were already where they wanted to be.

One young woman, though, about whom he'd heard some interesting stories lately, he hadn't seen yet. And the chances of his finding her alone, or nearly so, seemed good tonight.

"It's time," he said aloud, to nobody in particular. Nobody at all, as he was alone, perched on the edge of the roof of the building that housed his bar. "Time to fix what went wrong. Not long now, pet ... you're probably expecting me."

He smirked and raised a fresh cigarette to his lips.

Who: Cassie and Janie (OT Xander)
Where: Shooting Star Comics
When: Tuesday evening


Singing quietly to herself, little Cassie Allen found herself at Shooting Star all evening once again. She really didn't mind, since, as Andrew worked there too, she could man her store AND see her boyfriend anytime. And it wasn;t like she had much of a social life outside of Andrew, really. Lucy had been busy with Ash and with her band lately, and Dawn had gone from being strangely absent to sharing a mun with Cassie, which made it kind of hard to see each other too much. Shut up.

Anyway, the store was fairly empty tonight, so Cassie was letting herself have some fun with work. She was wearing roller skates with her bellbottoms and smiley-face tee, grinning as she finished stocking the new releases for the morning.

Ahh. It felt like nothing could ruin the mood she was in tonight, right?

....RIGHT???

Who: Janie OT Cassie
When: Wednesday evening
Where: A cafe somewhere

Janie sat at her table, and frowned at her drink and sandwich. Why was she in this odd, impostor cafe? This was not the Sugar Shack. The proportions of sugar to caffeine were all wrong, and the customers all seemed too- normal? Was that the right word?

It felt weird and disorienting, even more than her recent time shenanigans. When a girl walked by with a little rat dog in an overpriced purse, she couldn't take anymore. The cell phone went into her hand and she dialed the first number she could think of.

"Cassie? I'm at a weird cafe near Hollywood. Please visit me, I need sanity."

Who: Anyone with half an excuse to be there
Where: Regan High School Gym
When: Saturday Night, 4/17

Yay Prom Night! God, it was her Senior Year and Camille was ready for it to be over with! Too many freaks at this school. Hopefully they would weed out some of the weirdos at the private college that she was attending in the fall. Still, with only a few weeks left of school (seniors finished early), she might as well enjoy it. With her date, one of the cute jocks from the football team, and her perfect dress. Tonight had better be perfect for her, or someone was going to pay dearly.

The gym was decorated fairly well. The junior class, who was always tasked with putting on the Prom, had picked out a 'Spring is in the Air' theme, which, lucky for them, matched well with Camille's dress so her pictures would turn out good and she wouldn't clash with the background. The gym was decorated with lots of pink and purple flowers, and fake trees were set up everywhere in an effort to give the gym a 'spring' feel.

Who: Cassie and Talia
Where: Shooting Star Comics - basement
When: Friday, April 9th

( It occurred there to Cassie that in some ways, TALIA seemed more like the robot )

WHO: Nica OT Lynn, Cassie and all
WHEN: Thursday night
WHERE: Avarice

Nica was enjoying Spring Break. She'd thought about dragging Chloe off to Tahiti or Martinique, but that would have involved travel, and while Nica loved the idea of being someplace tropical, she didn't relish the thought of ten or twenty hours on a plane to get there.

So she'd settled for spending more time downtown, with Chloe mostly. Tonight, though, she was hanging at the club, nursing an amaretto sour and sketching out a few ideas for her comic.

WHO: Xander OT Cassie and Janie
WHEN: Tuesday night
WHERE: Shooting Star Comics

The comic shop was quiet tonight. Xander had finished restocking and was eying a row of dolls ... umm, "action figures" ... trying to figure out if he could dust them without looking girly. Deciding against it, he picked up a copy of the latest Amazing Spider-Man and settled behind the counter.

Things had settled into a comfortable groove. He was putting away money and it looked like he'd be ready to get an apartment in the next few weeks. Janie was still in school, but he thought she seemed less freaked out by ... life in general.

Who: Chloe, OT all who would attend Lucy's funeral
Where: Los Angeles Memorial Cemetary
When: Thursday, Feb. 11th


This was the single worst day of Chloe Van Warren's life. The day she'd only imagined coming in her worst of nightmares. Chloe had seen people close to her die before: Ami was a classic example. And Bella was missing, and who knew if the blonde would ever see HER again... but this? Was unlike anything else. 

This was her baby sister. Her best friend in the entire world. The person who loved her and understood her more than anyone in the universe.

The affair itself was typical Van Warren: huge, ritzy, glamorous... basically, a spectacle befitting of her family's reputation. Chloe stood in front of the heartbreakingly small gold casket, almost unable to look at it. She had to hold it together, for her parents (who sat in the front row, frustratingly calm), and for all the people who loved and adored Lucy. If anyone was going to be the first to say something about this beautiful, amazing girl.... Chloe had the right to be first.

"H-Hello, everyone. I... I stink at this stuff... this... talking in front of people. But Lucy deserves the best of everything. And if we... have to say goodbye to her, we're gonna do it in the best way possible. Lucy always told me that I was her hero. That she looked up to me, wanted to be just like me."

The blonde turned around, choking back a sob as she dragged her fingertips along the casket, lingering there for a moment.

"You were wrong, kiddo... YOU were MY hero. I love you so much, Lucy... my life will NEVER be the same without you. And I swear on all you and I believed in... I will never, EVER forget you. Your life, your... your energy, the vibrance with which you lived your life... will endure in so many ways. I'm going to make sure that people never forget your name, your beautiful face, your boundless energy. You weren't just my sister, Luce... you were my best friend. The best friend anyone could ever be lucky enough to have. I miss you so much already... just like everyone sitting here today does. The world... is a lesser place for losing you. One day... I just hope... I just hope I'm lucky enough to see you again. Because I know right now... heaven has itself one more angel."

Chloe sniffled there, hurrying back to her seat, unable to take anymore.

Besides... other people needed to say their goodbyes, whether privately or into the microphone.

( ...really...HER? )

Who: Jason and Cassie (TBC)
Where: Avarice
When: Friday night (November 20)

To Cassie, this was her idea of heaven. Hanging out in a hot club (Avarice) with a gorgeous, popular boy (Jason), and for once, being the girl that OTHER girls looked at with envy. She was far too used to being on the other side of that. But tonight? Damn. She looked GOOD. The young girl was in a shiny red skirt she'd had Lucy help her pick out, that showed off her legs without being too snug (as really, cute as Cassie was, she didn't have much of a figure, curves-wise), and a tight red blouse they'd found at Macy's that was cut juuuust low enough to reveal a hint of the swell of her small breasts. Along with the superb makeup job Lucy's done on her, Cassie, if she didn't mind saying so herself, looked DAMN fine tonight.

Jason was glad to be out. He was even more glad that it was a Friday evening before a long holiday. It was like he was able to completely relax and with Cassie by his side, everything felt better. The music was good, the food was good, and there was a distinct lack of drama going on. (At least as far as he was concerned.) With one arm draped over Cassie's shoulders, he leaned back in his seat and held her close.

"Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaason..." she coo'ed sweetly, looking up at him with those big, bright blue eyes. "I see those wheels a-turnin' up there... penny for your thoughts?" She snuggled into him, wondering to herself what he had been thinking (if anything) about their relationship. They'd been going out a lot, but nothing had ever been made... official. She'd never heard him refer to her as his girlfriend, or anything like that, and she was starting to wonder exactly WHAT it was they had.

He laughed at the way she said his name and looked down at her, his brows arched. "No idea what you're talking about, Cass." And if he had any idea that she was wondering – or had been wondering – about the status of their "relationship," he didn't show it. Truth was, he liked hanging out with Cassie. She was easy to get along with and she was so unlike every other girl he knew. Maybe that was why he hadn't bothered to define anything. It just hadn't crossed his mind that they might need to. Tucking her hair behind her ear, he flashed her one of his trademark grins. "Did I tell you how great you look tonight?"
