Sorry I haven't updated for awhile but I've been really busy.

Emily groaned as she was woken up by the rush of sunlight entering her room. Still dreaming, she faintly heard Sarah telling her to get out of bed.
“Go away,” Emily said groggily as she mad a playful swing to hit her watcher with her pillow but she missed.
“Get up. We have a lot of work to do.”
“Work?” Emily said as she began to rise out of bed.
“Yes, we’re behind. We need to start your training immediately, so get dressed and we’ll have breakfast. Then we’ll get started.”
*************************
Emily and Sarah stood in the library of the house.
“I thought we’d start with hand to hand combat,” Sarah said, “What do you think?”
“Sure…I guess….this is all new to me.”
Three hours and six broken items later, the pair decided to call it quits.
“Well, your form has certainly improved,” Sarah said as she used a towel to wipe the sweat from her brow, “I don’t think your ready to fight a seasoned vampire yet but I feel you can handle yourself. If we keep working like this, you’ll be killing demons left and right soon enough.”
“Oh joy,” she said sarcasm in her voice.
“This is a sacred duty it shouldn’t be mocked,” Sarah admonished, “We could be the only thing that stand between the world and its complete destruction.”
“Do you ever have fun?”
“Yes, when I get the chance I do enjoy the occasional novel.”
“That’s not fun.”
“What would you have me do then?”
“I don’t know….hey wait why don’t we go to that party.”
“What party?”
“The one at Ms. Worthington’s.”
“How do you know about that?”
“I might have seen your mail.”
“You were looking at my mail.”
“No, the letter just happened to fall out and being the good person I am I picked it up and but it back and I just happened to notice….”
“Alright, fine…. We’ll go.” Emily smiled and Sarah couldn’t help but let a small smile escape her lips as well, “Well, if we’re going to a party we best look the part. I suppose a shopping trip in order.”
*************************
“Bloody hell!” William yelled as he threw a book across the room. He had been looking for information on slayers, how they had died, been killed but he wasn’t finding anything. Dru whimpered in response to the violence she that usually thrilled her so.
“I’m sorry Dru. I’m a bad, bad man. I shouldn’t have yelled like that,” he said, as he went over to her, where she was sitting on the floor and staring off into space.”
“He loves me, he loves me not. Death says its coming. I hear it scratching at the window pane but it’s so confused, doesn’t know who to take into the darkness. But someone must go. It’s the way of the world. He says, ‘you love me, you love me not’ He says you’ll leave me to pull the petals off and watch them rot. Leave me for her.”
“Now what’s this rubbish Dru. Leave you for who?”
“We haven’t met her yet but she’s coming. It’s almost a hundred years to the day we’ll meet her.”
“Dru, don’t talk like this. I’m not going anywhere. How bout we go out to a party perhaps.”
“Won’t they mind?” Dru asks, indicating the delicately dressed bodies of the dead people, who must have owned the house they’re now living in, only to begin to laugh at her own joke. Spike smiled as he watched her.
*************************
Emily admired her reflection in the mirror. She had her hair done up in a flattering up do and she was wearing a deep midnight blue gown. “How do you? Why I’d love to dance, how thoughtful of you to ask,” she spoke to the imaginary man her reflection was representing.
“Looking to find yourself a suitor I see,” Sarah said at the door. She was wearing a stunning gown of her own, a snow white completed by delicate lace and a string of pearls. Emily blushed, embarrassed by her childish actions, “Don’t be embarrassed. I dreamed about finding a husband of my own and settling down, starting a family, when I was you age too.”
“What happened?”
“I had a fiancé but he was murdered….vampires.”
“That explains a lot.”
“Yes, I suppose it does. Here I want you to have this. I was going to give it to my daughter but seeing as I never had one at thought you might like it. Besides it could come in handy,” Sarah said as she opened her palm, revealing a small silver cross. She took it and fastened it around Emily’s neck, “Perfect.”
“Thank you,” Emily said, giving her a hug. At first Sarah was caught off guard by the sudden display of affection but she quickly came to embrace it as she wrapped her arms around the slayer, her slayer and it was in that moment she realized it may be Emily’s job to protect the world but she would make it her mission to protect Emily, even if that meant giving up her life.
Sarah could be a bit stiff and uptight but Emily loved every moment they spent together. She finally had a friend she could count and one that could accept her, completely.

Review please.
P.S. If you want me to tell you what anything Drusilla says means, just ask. I made sure pretty much everything she says means something.
