Moonlight Dwelling

Spike was just out lurking and grabbing a smoke before heading inside the Magic Box when he saw a guy with a big head of head walking by that was glittering in the sunlight.

"What the bloody hell?"

In a blink the guy was gone. Spike knew he wasn't human but he knew that the guy couldn't be a vampire unless there was another Ring of Amarra out there or maybe a belt buckle. The guy looked like a poofter with all that hair standing up. He decided to go into the store since he was out of Burba Weed.

"I just saw a guy that glitters and he ain't human."

"Look who's talking."

"Oh shut up Droopy. He moved fast and he must have good hearing. I just thought I'd mention it but whatever I'll just get what I came here to get and go."

Spike went off to get his Burba Weed and left the store. Since it was getting dark he didn't have to worry about heading down into the sewers so he just walked back to his crypt hoping he'd run into someone that he could scare and rob. It was just sad that he had to mug people to keep himself in cigarettes and blood these days. Maybe he'd run across that bloke he spotted earlier. It could have been body glitter for all he knew but he knew that this guy wasn't human.

He went back to his crypt wondering if he could scare a Girl Scout into giving him some free cookies. He just loved the Thin Mints but they were so expensive even if he did scare up some cash. Spike decided to paint his nails before heading over to the Summers house to see if Little Bit had any cookies for him. For all he knew she was a girl scout.It's not like he could call up Girl Scout Headquarters or wherever they made cookies to place an order. Even with stolen money he didn't want to waste it buying up those cookies that were now five bucks a box.

After his nails dried Spike walked over to Buffy's hoping that Dawn would be able to help him with the cookies. It was only by chance he discovered Thin Mint cookies and much like blood he craved them. He couldn't understand why they only came out once a year. He lit up and once again he saw that guy he'd seen earlier. He was walking through the graveyard with his poofy hair.

"Hello Mr Sparkles what are you?" Spike whispered to himself.

Spike decided to follow the guy to find out what he was up to. He knew he wasn't human so he might be a type of demon that looked more human than other demons. The guy went into the woods and Spike followed him wondering what he was up to. The guy wasn't sparkling anymore so Spike figured he must have taken a shower or something to wash the glitter off. He watched as the guy caught a rabbit and drained it.

"What the bloody hell? Don't tell me you're a vampire?"

The guy turned around to find Spike standing there in his ever present leather jacket and a smirk on his face. He was holding a cigarette in his hand.  Spike started laughing when he noticed the guy didn't have fangs although he admitted to himself that the guy had decent hair.
