"Me and Music?" Finn grinned cheekily "There wouldn't be any music without me!" Taking the menu and nodded and took off his hat "That sounded a little big headed huh?" Looking at the menu he smirked "I guess I am kidding, a little. I used to be in a band, we where heading to the big time and then things went poof."
Finn frowned a little, another thing gone but least he could get that back "Not sure I should have anything too fancy, me on a sugar rush is not a pretty sight. So much energy and then I'd need to find a way to use it constructively. Any ideas?" A cheeky wink towards Lisa before he made his order. He had picked some sort of sundae that came with sparklers and other over the top things, very child like.
"You know looking at you, I'd guess your what, 18 or 20 tops. Kinda a surprise you know hits of the 80's"

This guy was in a band? Lisa was very impressed. She had a love for music and well if this guy was a musician he would probably be able to make her melt with a song. “So what happened to your band?” she asked curiously wondering what it must have been like for Finn to be semi famous around his home town. Finn being famous didn’t really surprise Lisa it just made her realise the fact of why he was so overly confident and had a little too much ego. She could just imagine the hundreds of girls screaming and him loving every minute of it.
Lisa had ordered something fancy too but hers was all chocolate, right down to the sprinkles on top, there wear crayons and pictures for children to colour in at the side of the table and being with one of these Lisa would have took one and coloured it in but she decided not to being whilst with Finn she didn’t want him to see how childish she could be straight away, so instead she sat there grinning and listening to every word he had to say until there ice cream came. As the woman from behind the counter placed them on the table, Lisa thanked the woman and took out her flake, leaving the ice cream to one side.
There was something about Finn and his coolness that gave her a tingling feeling in her stomach and made the palms of her hands all sweaty, and although sweaty palms where never good, she liked it. She laughed a little as he asked her about her age “Flattery will get you no where with me” she giggled “I’m 22 and I know a lot of golden oldies, I come from a home where Buddy Holly was played most nights.”

Finn looked at the ice cream sundae as it was placed on to the counter in front of him. With a slight frown he looked at the attendant "Excuse me, could I have some of those sparkler things for this, Its lacking that special umph"
The attendant looked at him like he was crazy but went off anyway "So your folks where Buddy Holly fans huh, got to love some of that old rock and roll stuff. Great fun to dance too. Finn nodded knowingly "You know thinking about it, I should take offence you seem to think I am trying to get somewhere with you, is there somewhere you want me to take you or perhaps you have a place to lure me somewhere and hold me at pointy stick and demand things of an unspeakable nature from little old me"
Finn grinned "For the record, I should clarify I aint little nor old" It was about that time his sparklers arrived getting them both a strange look which caused Finn to cock his head and look at the woman "Honest, I can show you if you like?" With a cough and a blush she dashed off causing Finn to chuckle and lift his spoon towards his now sparking overly whipped creamed sugar coated ice cream.

Lisa grinned a little and rolled her eyes as Finn asked for the sparkler. “The star has to have it all fancy” she teased. She watched the attendant walk away not looking too happy but hey who would be with a job like that. The attendant went over to the women who had the children at the counter and Lisa watched as the children chased each other around the shop, her foot ready to be stuck out if one of them came whizzing past her. Lisa hated children and she often said it but everyone couldn’t help but tell her how good she was with them. Kids also seemed to like Lisa so she wasn’t so sure why one day she all of a sudden decided she never liked them at all. Maybe it was the way they always had to ask annoying questions or get themselves covered in dirt.
She dipped her flake into her ice cream and took a bite she ignored Finns comment as he brought up her stake, it seemed like he wasn’t going to forget it easily. She shifted in her seat uncomfortably wondering if seeing Finn again was such a good idea. He was a nice enough guy and Lisa liked him and well as for looks he got a nine out of ten in her books. She looked up at him and gave him a forced half smile. He had the gorgeous blue eyes, cool leather jacket and sexy hair not to mention the awesome hat to top it off but Lisa was a slayer; and slayers had responsibilities. Finn was actually the first person in misery that Lisa had spent time with who did not know about her secret identity.
Not little or old? Lisa looked confused but so did the waitress who had came back with Finns sparklers. She then looked at him like he was crazy and Lisa couldn’t help but not be able to keep back a laugh as she darted off again. “So are you one of the undead or something?” she asked praying he never said yes. Well at least he couldn’t be a vampire, no vampire could be out in daylight and Finn had already proved that by well being out in daylight.

Finn blinked at her mid scooping of ice cream "Wow.... Leaning back in his chair he placed his spoon back into the glass and looked at the door and everything in the way between, could he escape from here if he had too?
Turning back to her he adjusted his hat back onto his head, what was he supposed to say to her. That question more or less confirmed his theory about her and his early meetings with Buffy and later Faith back home meant this was probably not going to end well.
"See well thats a complex answer. Its day time so I can't be right?" Finn spoke slow, carefully as if weighing up each word "Your a Slayer then?" He lowered his voice at that so no one else would hear them "I'd really like to stay off the kill list if possible, I aint a threat to you or anyone else. Heres really not the place to explain this. I guess Ice creams kinda ruined now huh?"
Finn sighed and played with his spoon, swirling it around the dish before putting out the sparklers. He didn't really feel like them any more.

Lisa finished her flake then took the wafer from the ice cream and took a bite not knowing that what she was about to hear next would make her almost choke on it. Catching her breath “You know about slayers?” she spluttered spraying little bits of wafer all over the table. She put the rest back into the bowl and looked at Finn confused, he sounded a bit worried and Lisa wasn’t sure what he was on about being on her kill list. He wasn’t a vampire so was he some kind of demon or something? He said he wasn’t a threat which was one good thing but how could she be so sure? If he was something other than human could she trust him?
Lisa stood up and took some money out of her pocket placing it on the table, she looked outside into the sunlight “We should go somewhere more private” she said looking around, although the ice cream parlour was empty now the attendant couldn’t help looking over at them, probably after how Finn had embarrassed and annoyed her a little.
She headed for the door and waited for Finn to follow once they where out of there she asked the one thing she wanted to know most “Your right I am a slayer, what are you?”

Finn followed Lisa quietly, what was he supposed to say here?
When she asked how he knew and what he was he sighed softly and shuffled back and forth as he figured how to put things into words.
"Frig, where to start. Odd how you can never just meet a normal girl or guy in your case anymore huh? Finn smiled half heartedly trying to interject a little humour. "I wasn't lying about coming from Sunnydale, just happens to not be the one you know off. Mines doesn't exist anymore. Like another dimension or something, this could be a comic now I am saying it out loud. I used to help the Slayer there, she was called Buffy. Anyways, something happened to our Hellmouth and it pretty much swallowed the whole world up, cept me cause I got dropped off here, for some reason or other.
Shaking his head he shifted the hat back and smiled "I know this sounds crazy but its true, all of it. Look! Patting down his coat he brought out a wallet and slide a picture out, a group photo of him and the Scooby gang looking happy and fairly carefree. "As for what I am, I'm a Dhampyr, sort of half vampire. Its weird and complex."

well he was right there, Sunnydale didn’t exist it was nothing but a big hole, the hell mouth had opened up and swallowed it, then he said Buffy’s name and Lisa couldn’t do anything but look at Finn gobsmacked and then he did something that made her jaw drop even further, so far that anyone looking would think it was going to hit the ground. Finn was showing her pictures of the Scooby gang, all of them there in Sunnydale, Finns arm was wrapped around Buffy’s shoulder and they where grinning like they never had a care in the world. “I know her” she said “I know them all” she looked up at Finn not believing it still. “Willow, Xander, Buffy, Dawn… there all here In misery!” Finn had said what he was a Dhampyr, Lisa had never heard of one of these before but at the moment she never really cared she was still shocked from what Finn had shown her.

"Even if they are, they aint the same ones I knew. I aint kidding when I say my world was sucked up Lisa." Finn frowned, he had never really considered telling anyone about this, there wouldn't really be any reason too.
"My whole life just gone and here I am alive with nothing but what I am carrying. I guess its nice to know that versions of my friends are running about not knowing who the hell I am but me knowing them." He almost sounded angry at that "I was supposed to die with them, not get stuck somewhere else while they all died."
Finn walked away before sitting down and cupping his chin in his hands as he lowered his head to gather his thoughts "I kinda hoped that this world was normal, nothing weird and I could just slide in and find a new life, seems this worlds pretty much like the one I got kicked out of for all intents and purposes."
Looking up at her he managed a half smile "Sorry for ruining your ice cream and probably your whole week. It bothered him that she was seeing him vulnerable, only Buffy and Willow had really seen him like this and it was not something he usually let happen. He'd need to dwell on what that meant later on.

Before she became a slayer Lisa would have thought that having different dimensions was crazy, it sure sounded crazy, but with everything Lisa had seen she believed it and she couldn’t help but believe that Finn was telling the truth. She couldn’t imagine what it must feel like for Finn knowing that all your friends are out there in the world he now lived in but had no clue who he was. His friends where dead and the Scooby gang Lisa knew where exactly the same in almost every way the difference being that fate had chose to let them go on longer.
Lisa could see that Finn was angry and upset; he had no clue why he survived when none of his friends did. She walked over to the bench he had sat on and put her arm around his shoulder. “I really cant imagine how hard it is for you” she sympathised “I’m sorry this world is so much like the one you came from except the people here are just going to be a reminder of what you have lost” she paused for a few seconds thinking about it before she spoke again “Fate might have sent you here for a reason, that could be why you survived when no one else did but whatever the reason you came into this dimension, I will help you find out why” she softly smiled back.
Lisa wasnt sure why she had offerd to help but she knew it was something more than just a good deed, their was just something about Finn that she really liked, she couldent put her finger on it but she could deffinatly feel it. “And you never ruined anything” she replied honestly “Its taken away the whole worry of you thinking I was crazy if you found out what I was” she smiled.
