Chapter 1- Lights out
**********
Buffy Summers walked around the streets of New York nervously. The stories she’d heard looming in her mind.
She’d been here for two days now and hadn’t seen anything to frighten her, yet…better safe then sorry.
She was feeling guilty about leaving her sister Dawn at the Hotel, but she was having a good time with that boy Connor, who they’d met the day they arrived. He seemed like a nice enough kid. Okay, not kid, she scolded herself. Dawn was 17 now and ing ing into a lovely young woman.
Still, New York shopping alone wasn’t as fun as she thought it would be.
Buffy really liked lower Manhattan. Chelsea was much more interesting to her than midtown. Everyone seemed less tense. Not that she hadn’t enjoyed Broadway, but Urinetown? What was that about?
She’d gone to some of the more swanky shops, but everything was outrageously priced. She was going to give up and head back to the subway station when suddenly she saw it.
The sign was white and shiny, and looked glorious to her as she levitated towards it. Barney’s Warehouse Sale- final days. Cash only.
Music played in her head, it was like the most beautiful sign she’d ever seen. Dawn’s going to be sorry she missed this one! She thought, as she reached into her wallet to check her cash supply.
“Fuck!” She said out loud, oblivious to the people walking around her. No Cash. “Damn that Chelsea Market and it’s glorious Eleni’s cookies and Fat Witch brownies!”
She heard a snicker from behind her, and as she turned to see where it was coming from she was on major hottie alert. She couldn’t help but smile at him, after looking down once more at the goodie bags she was carrying.
He was wickedly cute, with hair completely bleached out and black jeans that fit just right. His black muscle tee exposing slim but well definrms.rms. He lifted an eyebrow at her, his mouth still lifted in a half smile.
She checked herself then, realizing that she’d been staring a little bit too obviously and turned back towards where she’d seen the sign. She noticed a bank a little more than a block away and headed towards it.
Focusing here, stick to the object at hand- ATM bound. Barney’s Baby!
She checked the time before heading into the isolated ATM room, Almost 4:00. She’d have to hurry, only a few hours leeforefore the sale closed.
It was one of those little ATM rooms isolated from the bank. Those always made her nervous. She looked around her before opening her bag to pull out her debit card.
As she dug into her bag she noticed the bleached hottie whisk past her, slipping car card into the electronic door and setting the little red light to turn to green.
“Ladies first,” he motioned for her to enter, offering h sma small grin.
Oooh, that accent…sexy! Thank you. She said, finally grabbing hold of the card, while balancing her bags in her other arm. She walked into the room and headed for the machine to her left. There was only one other in there- cute blond guy went for that one.
Just as she was going to slide her card in the lights flickered and died, leaving her and the complete stranger darkness. The only illumination coming from the door at the far side of the room.
Buffy didn’t panic at first. She calmly headed towards the door and tried pushing to no avail. She looked back at the only other person in the room with concern in her eyes.
“It won’t work.” He said. “It’s electronic. Looks like the power’s out.”
“What?” She said, a little bit of fear beginning to slip into her voice. “Is that even possible?”
“Probably be back on in a minute or two, no need to worry. I’m Spike.” Hed, ad, as he offered her his hand.
Buffy shook his hand nervously and smiled, “Buffy.”
“Guess we’ll be stuck together for a little while Buffy. Might as well get comfy.”

TBC if interest warrants it. I’m also working on a companion piece with a Dawn/Connor pairing. Let me know what you think.
