The gang sat at their booth in the corner of the Bronze, watching the crowd enjoying the night, the people pushing against each other to get to the bar, and the DJ bobbing his head to the music he was playing.

“You know she’s been checking you out all night?” Willow moved position to sit closer to Faith.

“Who we looking at?”

“The leggy blonde at the end of the bar.”

Faith looked over to the tall blonde, who immediately turned away. “Her?”

“Yeah.”

“Nice. Not bad looking either, wouldn’t ya say Red?”

“Not my type, but I suppose she’s pretty.”

Buffy didn’t like being left out of the conversation; she had felt pushed out of late by Faith and Willow, who seemed to be growing ever closer as friends.

“She’s not a piece of meat you know.”

Faith and Willow ignored her, continuing in their appreciation of the blonde at the bar.

“Go over and talk to her.” Willow tried to encourage Faith.

“Nah I couldn’t do that.”

“Why not? You don’t seem to have a problem when it comes to guys, so what’s so different now? Look at her; she wants you.” Willow smirked as she playfully nudged Faith’s arm.

“I don’t know Red; it’s a whole new ball game with chicks.”

“No it’s not. Where’s the ever confident slayer that’s usually hanging out in bars picking up the guys?”

“Right here.”

“So suck it up and go buy the lady a drink.” Willow stood up and moved round the table to let Faith out.

“Ok Red but when it goes wrong I’m gonna hold you responsible.” Faith made her exit from the table and casually strolled over to the bar.

As Willow watched Faith make her way over to the bar she felt slightly proud of her, as she sat back down next to Buffy.

“Where’s she going?”

“Get drinks from the bar and maybe get her first woman.”

“What?”

“Faith’s trying my side for a change.”
