Characters: Xander, Faith, Kennedy, Dawn, and OC's, including Madelyn
Summary: Madelyn goes to her prom at St. Clare's. Cleveland being a Hellmouth, plot happens. Also, porn.

Continued from the first part.



They get into Cleveland around 10pm. Faith's there, and Xander can't get over how much older she is than he remembers her being before he died. She's flanked by two students in St. Clare's uniforms. One is his wife; the other must be the infamous Alan.

The boy examines Persephone eagerly, too eagerly if his famed Texan girlfriend is anything but a fiction. Persephone's not exactly looking her best in her sweatsuit and rumpled hair, but Alan seems to be satisfied with what he sees. Xander's old enough that the difference between Madelyn's eighteen years and Persephone's apparent age of fifteen seems like an eternity, but he can see what a boy like Alan would see in Persephone even if she's physically too young for Xander himself. Apparently, in addition to getting to live forever, the Immortal has good genes.

He can't hold the boy's lecherous gaze against Alan too badly. One, Xander was little better in general when he was eighteen; two, he's eying up Madelyn in exactly the same way right now. There's something about the way his wife looks in knee socks and a plaid skirt that makes Xander feel irrationally dirty.

Madelyn takes him in a quick embrace and by the time they break the kiss, there's quite a few heads turned, many of them with disapproving looks. Xander has to admit the schoolgirl uniform doesn't make it look very good, but screw them, she's his wife.

"Hey," Alan says to Persephone, extending his arm awkwardly. "I'm Alan."

"Persephone," Persephone answers, and purses her lips in the way that Xander's already noticed she does when she's resisting the urge to introduce herself as "Dark Queen of Azthorak."

Alan just pauses, unsure of what to say next. Xander feels for the boy; he's obviously interested in the vampire, but Xander doubts there's much an eighteen-year-old boy can do or say to impress an 800-year-old vampire, even if she does look fifteen.

On the other hand, everyone probably seems impossibly young and immature to Persephone, and Buffy being sixteen didn't seem to deter Angel the first time he saw her.

They collect their luggage, with Faith carrying most of Xander's; she might be older, but she's certainly not weak. Persephone carries her own without difficulty; Alan looks at her uncomfortably, as the fact that she's so much stronger than him doesn't leave much room for gallantry.

They load the baggage into the back of Faith's car. Alan takes the passenger seat reluctantly; clearly he'd rather sit next to Persephone, but there's no way that Xander isn't sitting with his wife, and the choice between sharing the back seat with some random hormone-driven boy or Maddy's sister is pretty much a no-brainer.

Madelyn rests her head on Xander's shoulders, and he breathes in the scent of his wife's hair. "I've missed you," she whispers in his ear.

"Me too," he says. He puts an arm around her and kisses her on the forehead. She smiles up at him.

In a little bit, Faith pulls into the hotel. Valets take their luggage and begin carrying it to the rooms followed by the five. Xander and Maddy are in room 303; Persephone's in the adjoining 304. Faith and Alan see them settled in, then Faith taps Alan's shoulder and says, "Okay, let's let them get some rest." She looks at Xander when she says "rest" and makes it sound dirty in the way only Faith can.

Alan doesn't look exactly eager to return to campus, but he follows Faith's lead nonetheless, not like he has a choice. "It was nice meeting you," he says to Persephone.

She graces him with a smile. "I'll see you tomorrow," she says, taking mercy on the boy by letting just the slightest hint of suggestiveness drip into her voice, but it's enough to light up Alan's face.

As Faith and Alan turn to leave, Maddy gives Persephone a hug and they exchange quick kisses on the cheek.

"Night, 'Sephone," she says, then grabs Xander by the shirt and pulls him into the hotel room.

As soon as the door is shut behind them, their lips are locked and their hands are all over each other. "Do you want me to leave this on?" Maddy asks impishly once they've broken a kiss. Xander glances down at the Catholic school uniform, considers the idea for a moment, then shakes his head and pulls off Madelyn's ugly red St. Clare's blazer. He begins unbuttoning the white blouse as she unbuckles his belt and unzips his fly. It's not long before, having run out of clothes to take off each other, they end up on the bed.

Tomorrow might be prom, but right now is homecoming.

You'll be fine. The first time I taught (taught, not astissed with even) Ancient Near Eastern Religions, I kept one lesson ahead of the students. Well, I already knew something, but about enough to do, say, a couple general sessions on the topic as a whole, not a whole semester in depth. Just stay a lesson ahead and you'll be fine.
