Xander heard the feet approaching the ice cream truck. This section of town had a lot more customers than his boss had expected they just werent all human. Hey, if some big scaly demon wanted chocolate ice cream, that was okay with him.

Usual assortment, and then a new face. She was blue, with yellow eyes and a mess of blue curls. She looked lean, dangerous and gorgeous. A vanilla cone, bitte?

Yeah sure. He could feel himself blushing. She was cute, even if she was a demon. This wasnt the time for a crush, he had Anya. And what if Blue was predatory?

She only had two fingers, and there was a tail, almost like the old devil illustrations. Her hand was warm and almost velvety.

Xander swallowed hard as she licked along the ice cream, her eyes twinkling as she asked. Do you come here often?

Regularly. Someone has to sell the ice cream. He was pretty sure that she was teasing him, or maybe it was flirting?

Ill be sure to come back then. She leaned closer, whispering into his ear Im Talia.

Yeah. Talia? Be careful, Sunnydale can be dangerous. Xander offered.

Of course, she purred.

The End
