Buffy Summers looked at herself in the bathroom mirror. Her eyes were red,
her normally long beautiful hair was a mess:

"I don't need him anyway..."

She glared at her reflection. This was the aftermath of the second hardest
break-up of her life - Angel being the first, Riley the second. She had
known it had been coming for a few weeks now, first their reasonably hot
sex-life had just fizzled out, second, Riley spent more and more time with
new girl Emilie - she was sure there was something going on there.

It had all culminated in a stormy argument in which Buffy had told him that
she never wanted to see him again, and if she did, she would drive a stake
through his heart, no matter how alive he was.

Buffy picked up the phone and looked at her speed dial numbers:
*Xander ? - No he'd make a joke out of it, and she didn't want to be cheered
up.
Giles ? - Yeah, right.
Anya ? - No way.
Riley ? - @#$% off.
Tara ? - Well, Willow would be there...Maybe, she kinda went through it with
Oz, but....
Oz ? - Why's he on my speed dial? He could give a guy's opinion I guess, but
I don't really know him, but he IS a great listener... I'll give him a try.*

She dialed and waited expectantly...... *come on, pick up*...... it was
engaged.
*Who the hell can he be talking to at this time of night? Willow? No, I
guess miracles don't happen that fast...*

Buffy was referring to the events of two months ago when Willow revealed her
true feelings for Tara, and Oz was left in the lurch.

*He kinda deserved it, I guess.....*

Oz had left the night he found out, only to return a week later when UC
Sunnydale had called him, saying that if he left one more time - he was out.
He had pretty much ignored Willow and the Scooby gang, especially Tara, but
Xander went out to the bar with him a few nights a week. Their friendship
had blossomed, in a way Buffy had never expected this, due to the events of
their last year at High School. Both men were now more mature, even capable
of holding conversation with Giles, who occasionally went out with them when
he was feeling the pressures of being a man of leisure.

She tried another number, and a familiar groggy voice answered;
"Yello, Tara's place ?" there was a muffled laugh.

"Will, it's Buffy.... I need help."

"Sure, I'll be over in a minute..."

"No, no, it's ok. Just answer me this, what did you do when Oz left for the
first time... you know when you were depressed?"

"Uhhhh, I... I ate lots, surfed the net, just sat in his room.... stupid
stuff.."

Buffy had an idea.. "Thanks Willow you're a star, I'll see you tomorrow ok?"

"Huh? Yeah, I guess. Bye."

Buffy walked over to her computer and switched it on. Then she got out a
reference book from Willow's side of the room and looked for decent chat
sites. As she turned the pages, one jumped out at her, it was circled and
next to it was written:

'Meet me here 6 pm'

It wasn't Willow's writing, and it was obviously a very old message, but she
thought she'd try anyway.
www. sunnydalecampuschat. com

She entered the chat room, not knowing what to expect and typed in an alias
for herself:

Slayergirl?

*No, too obvious..*

Dingobaby?

*Yeah, why not?*

She went in to find there was only one other user in there:

Newmoonie

*Newmoonie?* She laughed to herself and began to chat.

Dingobaby: Hi Newmoonie LOL!!!
Newmoonie: Hi dingo, how ya doin? a/s ?
D: 19/f u?
N: 20/m R U a fan of Dingoes?
D: Yeah, my friend used to go out with one of them.
N: Devon? I guess!!!! LOL!
D: No, Oz actually.

There was a pause for a minute or two.

D: hello?
N: Hi, so which hall are you at?
D: Stevenson.... Do u know Oz?
N: huh?
D: It's just you paused for so long
N: Yeah, I kinda know Oz... but who doesn't?
D: Yeah I guess, where are you right now?
N: somewhere that is else.
D: Ok.... Can I talk to u in deepest confidence, cryptic guy?
N: Seeing as I have no clue who you are and vice versa I guess so.
D: If we were together... as a couple
N: uh huh...
D: and I broke up with you because I thought you were seeing someone else
and because our sex-life had fizzled to a place where it is no longer hot.
N: okaaaay.
D: and then I told you never to come near me again or I'd drive a stake
through your heart...
N: Buffy?
D: Riley?
N: nope.... just knew it was you... carry on.
D: I can't... now u know who I am.
N: U know me pretty well, I promise you that, trust me, I won't blab.
D: Ok, but If u do, I'll find out who and where you are.
N: fine.
D: Right, so if all that stuff happened... What would you do?
N: I'd keep as far away from you as possible. Is it likely that i'd be
dusted?
D: No, you aren't an undead American.
N: Cool, I'd still keep out of your way though. The way I see it, this guy
was amazingly lucky to have had you... I mean... you're beautiful, funny and
smart. You can also kick everyone's ass, so I would never try to get on the
wrong side of you.. although I have on a couple of occasions. You're great -
you don't need this Riley guy, although he was good to me, he was a bit
uptight.

Buffy had a feeling she knew who it was...

D: Daniel Osbourne ?
N: Guilty as charged.
D: That was so sweet, thankyou, it really helped.
N: No problem, glad to have been of service.
D: where are you?
N: At Devon's on the floor.
D: Comfortable?
N: Not exactly.
D: Do you want to come to my place.... I mean it's Willow's as well, but
she's never here, u could sleep in my bed if u want and I'll sleep in
Will's.
N: She's at Tara's yeah?
D: Yeah.
N: Cool, you sure?
D: Positive.
N: Great, I'll be over in a sec.

**************************************NEWMOONIE HAS LOGGED
OFF****************************************

Buffy looked around the room. "Damnnit"

Willow's bed sheets weren't on the bed.

*They must be being washed, shit.*

There was a knock at the door.

"Buffy? It's Oz, you decent?"

"Yeah, come on in."

Oz wandered through the door.

*He looks so cute* Buffy thought to herself. His shortish hair was messed up and he was wearing
a t-shirt and jogging bottoms.

"Sorry, couldn't change - Dev was snoring - my ears were in too much pain."

"Don't worry, you look cu....... uh great, yeah you look fine."

Oz looked puzzled.

"What?"

"Uh, It's just you can't exactly sleep in HER bed, can you?"

"Sorry, I forgot to check before I asked you... I'm such a clutz."

"That you are, but don't get cut up about it - I can kip on the floor."

Buffy took Oz's bag from under his arm and slung it on her bed. "You are sleeping
in that bed..... as am I."

Oz's eyes widened... "Are you sure?"

"Yeah, we're friends right?"

"Yeah, I guess, but.."

"uh, uh. uh.... NO BUTS."

Oz walked over to his bag and got a video out.." You wanna watch this?"

Buffy took it from him and put it on Willow's bed. "Can we just talk?"

"That we can do."

Buffy got under the covers of her bed and motioned for Oz to do the same. He
moved hesitantly toward her and lifted up the covers. As he slid under they
made contact and Buffy shivered.

"You ok?"

"Just a little....*turned on? horny?*...... cold."

Oz put his arm around her and rubbed her side, occasionally making fleeting
contact with her breast.

*Oh god, I can't cope...* thought Buffy to herself.. She turned towards him and
looked him in the eye. "Are you over Willow yet?"

"Uh, yeah-ish, I think so. I see her around and I don't go wolfie.... so yeah.... why?"

"I'm so over Riley, him and his little commando games that he used to
play..... ugh."

"Right... Riley... What happened?"

"I don't wanna talk about it."

"Okay, well what do you want to talk about?"

"You."

"Me?"

"You."

"Me. Okay, what do you want to know?"

"Had you ever been with anyone before Willow?"

"You mean..... oh....... sure, it kinda happens a lot when you're in a
band."

"Groupies?"

"Exactly... I have hormones raging... I'm not gonna turn down a hot woman
offering herself to me, am I?"

Buffy rolled on top of him and kissed him passionately..... "I don't know.... are you?"

In reply he kissed her back, sliding his tongue to meet hers, his hands all
over her, spending more than just some fleeting moments on her breasts. He
peeled his t-shirt off, and helped her with her night-shirt. Buffy was
surprised at his body, him being fairly small and all, but he had a six pack
and well-defined muscles that she ran her hands over and kissed. Buffy was
naked now and Oz only half-dressed, she kissed her way down his body, past
his nipples and over his six-pack until she reached his pants. She pulled
them down and off of him, throwing them to the side. She licked his balls
and he moaned, his breathing growing heavier by the minute. She took him
into her mouth, licking and sucking and grazing her teeth against his shaft
for all she was worth, he was almost howling with pleasure when he came into
her mouth, a sweet but salty taste that she gladly swallowed.

He was still breathing heavily, and she made her way back up his body and
lay on top of him, seductively rubbing her breasts against his chest, he
moaned as her knee slid past his manhood, bringing him back to his hardest.
He grabbed her head and kissed her, moving his hands through her hair and
down her back, she arched her back and he made her way down until she
reached her nipples. He sucked and nibbled on them gently, as his hands
guided her to bring her opening above his hardness. She sunk down onto it
and they both moaned in delight, starting slow and rhythmically and
gradually building up speed. He watched her move, her breasts free and just
above his face as he reached down and fingered her clit. Buffy now realized
how well practiced he was and rode him as passionately as she knew how. They
climaxed together, juices combining, and Buffy lay down next to him. Oz,
still breathing heavily, opened his eyes slowly, he could sense
something....

"Willow."

Standing in the doorway was Willow, tears streaming down her face gripping
onto Tara's hand for dear life. Oz got up, still naked and went to the door.

"What? You can sleep with another woman, but I can't? That doesn't seem fair
now does it?"

Oz shut the door in their faces, then turned round and grinned at Buffy, she
smiled back and patted the bed next to her. He sat down and she looked up at
him.

"So, Oz, when can I next check your online status?"

Oz smiled..

"Anytime you want, baby, anytime you want."
