Summary: There's an important date coming up. Faith's set to test Spike before it arrives, -- and somebody else might just get lucky if he passes.








Faith groaned as she slipped an ice cube across the back of her neck. Her fingers brought it down, underneath her long, dark hair, and dipped it over her breasts. "I thought we left the heat behind in sunny Cali," she remarked, hearing someone approach. She cracked open an eye and grinned at Spike.

He glowered back at her. "You know this heat wave's because of that breed of Demon."

"I know. Doesn't mean I don't want to cool down." Sliding the melting piece of ice between her first two fingers, she traced the round, tanned tops of her breast. "We've had fun before. Don't you want to help me cool down?"

Spike grunted, then asked point blank, "Where's Buffy?"

To his surprise, the formerly rogue Slayer's already-broad grin grew. "B's inside. Good answer." She winked at him, but then added as he walked pass, "We've gotten through some tough scraps together. I don't wanna have to be the one to stake you." She'd heard talk of marriage lately between the two, and the Vamp had just passed her test.

As he moved to go inside, however, another male came up. This one was definitely a boy; she doubted he'd ever become a man. "Can I volunteer for the ice test?"

"You can volunteer for it," Faith countered, leaning back in her seat and cocking her head back. "Bet you'd look cute with a crotch full of ice."

Andrew's eyebrows shot up. She continued to grin as she licked the water from her fingertips. She heard Harris' laughter before she saw him, an arm thrown around Dawn's slender shoulders. "You're never gonna score with Faith, Andrew."

"You're one to talk, Harris."

"Hey, I found my lady!" As he hugged Dawn, it was Faith's turn to laugh. It was the craziest thing to her, but after all this time, they truly seemed to finally be becoming a real family.

"You sure did," she said, leaning back and observing him with a superior eye. "But if you hurt her, I'll kick your ass too just like I'll dust Peroxide Boy." She'd never been one for weddings, but she found herself actually looking forward to the one that would soon be announced. Glancing back at Andrew, she said, "What the Hell? Bring me a beer, Wells. You and I might just need to plan a date."

"Yay!" Clapping his hands, Andrew happily ran.
