Buffy Summers ran a hand through her blonde hair and sighed, staring at the phone. Her younger sister. Dawn, poked her head into her older sister's room. "Hasn't Fish-face called yet?" She demanded tactlessly.
Buffy glared at her sister and threw a pillow at her. "Don't pick on Riley, Dawn. He's a nice guy. And get the hell out of my room."
Dawn smirked at the older girl and rolled her eyes before skipping downstairs.
Her mother, Joyce Summers, was sitting at the kitchen table, having tea with Maria Martinez-Roarke, a friend of hers from college. Maria had long, dark hair and bright eyes that gave Dawn a feeling of comfort. She was a bright, friendly woman. The two of them were leaning forward and speaking quietly over their mugs. They stopped talking and looked up when Dawn came into the kitchen.
The girl walked over to the table. "What were you guys whispering about?"
Joyce and Maria exchanged glances, then Joyce pulled her daughter close. "Can you keep a secret?" Maria asked softly in her lilting Spanish voice.
Dawn nodded.
Joyce and Maria exchanged smiles. "You know how Buffy didn't want to live on campus this year?" Joyce asked. At Dawn's nod, she continued. "Well, Maria and I have found the perfect roommate for her. Maria has a son her age, who's also going to UC Sunnydale. We figured the two of them could split the rent."
Dawn grinned. "So they hook up, and no more Fish-face!" She brought her arm down in a scoring gesture. "Yes!"
Maria laughed. "Yes, and no more Drusilla." She gave a dramatic shudder. "That girl is insane, I swear."
Dawn gave Maria a hug. "I love you guys!"
Buffy sighed when she heard her name called from downstairs. "I have to go," she said quietly into the phone. Riley gave an overly-dramatic sigh. "Do you have to?" he whined.
Buffy smiled, for some unknown reason finding this 'cute.' "Yeah, I'm afraid so. Talk to you later?"
Five minutes later, she was off the phone and down the stairs, smiling dreamily. "You called, Mom?"
Joyce nodded. "Yes, dear. You remember how you wanted to get on off campus apartment, but you need a roommate to make the rent?"
Buffy nodded and grabbed a can of soda from the fridge. "Yeah?"
Maria smiled. "Well, I think we've found you a roommate, dear. My Liam needs the same thing, so we were thinking that perhaps you could split the apartment."
Buffy arched her eyebrows. "Isn't he a guy?"
Maria nodded. "Yes, but he is a gentleman, and he has a girlfriend." Maria's inner voice laughed. 'Not for long, though.'
Buffy sighed. "Riley won't like me moving in with another guy."
Dawn rolled her eyes and made a fish face behind Buffy's back. Maria smiled at the youngest Summers, and Joyce sighed. "Riley will adjust, dear, as long as you're faithful to him I don't see the problem." Joyce own inner voice made a retching noise.
Buffy sighed. "I do need a roomie." She paused and thought. "OK."
Liam Roarke gave his mother a suspicious glance after she had explained her proposal. He didn't buy her innocent looks, not for one minute. But what choice did he have? He hated living on campus, it was always so crowded. And this gave him the perfect out.
"Dru won't like it."
Maria gave a long-suffering sigh. "Screw Drusilla," she said. "I don't like htat girl, and I don't care."
Liam gave her his trademark half-smile. "But you like Buffy, and you like me, so you hope that we like each other, and that eliminates the one that you don't like. Right?"
Maria grinned wolfishly. "It'll work. She's a nice girl. Dru isn't. You'll see."
Liam sighed. He really DID need the roommate. "Deal."
