A/N: Okay – I hate it when ideas pop into my head like this. This is the fifth in a series of nine. This is just some fun with all my favorite characters. Scenario 24 at The Next Level

24) One of more of the Scoobies (or AtS crew) decide to go on a road trip to just get away from it all. Where do they go? Who do they meet? This would be a crossover scenario.

Willow was having the time of her life. Now that she was out of high school, out of college even, every so often she would have the need to go all out and "come as you aren't" as Buffy once told her.

That was exactly what Willow was doing, and if the look on Oz' face as she exited her hotel room said anything, she did a pretty good job going as she wasn't.

"I'm going to get a drink," Xander announced suddenly, "maybe sit the next few dances out." Willow could barely hear him over the music, so she merely nodded. "You want anything?"

"No – go sit down!" Willow yelled over the music. Xander flashed her a thumbs up and he picked out a table in the corner where he set about to brooding. Willow shook her head. How can he be brooding in a place like this? The place radiated magic – Willow could feel it the moment she walked in, the power of the place washing over her like a wave. But it wasn't a bad type of power. This was comforting, almost soothing, and was contributing to the high she was on, a combination of adrenaline and the two weird drinks she and Buffy slammed upon entering the club.

"I'm gonna go see how Xander is doing," Angel said, prying his hands from Buffy's hips. Buffy pouted her disapproval. "You girls want anything?"

"Something with alcohol," Willow answered, smiling at Buffy's shocked look. "What?"

"Willow, I am shocked." She grinned. "Get me whatever she's having."

Angel shook his head and gave Buffy a quick kiss before heading over to the bar. Buffy turned to Willow and the two started dancing seductively, gathering the attention of every male in the room. Buffy winked at Willow and Willow couldn't help but laugh.

Ron Weasley stood near the door and sighed. Ginny was off dancing with Hermione – although it seemed as though Hermione found another person to dance with, of the male variety. Ron noticed Ginny following one of the people who just stepped off the dance floor. As he sat down, Ron watched Ginny approach him and sighed. She's twenty, she's twenty, she's twenty…he repeated like a mantra in his head.

To get his mind off of his little sister and the person she'd just joined at the table – was he ordering her a drink? – Ron looked around the club, searching for someone –anyone – who he could dance with.

That's when he saw her – red hair, green eyes, and Merlin, what an outfit – black miniskirt and a purple halter top showing of her bare midriff. She was dancing with a blonde woman and the two were laughing, seeming to have the time of their life. The blonde appeared to have a partner, but she was alone.

Ron smiled. Perfect.

Buffy looked around for Angel when she spotted him – red hair, all black, and what a body. Buffy's eyes widened and she tapped Willow on the shoulder. "Willow, that guy over by the door is totally checking you out – no don't look!"

"He's not checking me out – haven't we been through this before?"

"Really – then why is he coming over here?" Willow's eyes widened and she took a glance over her shoulder. She smiled. "Told you. He's hot Will. Go for it."

"Buffy!"

Buffy laughed, "What? Look, I'm going to go take Angel for some private time in the back room," she winked, "Have fun."

Willow rolled her eyes and turned around, just for her gaze to meet a gorgeous set of blue eyes. "Hi," she said shyly.

"Hi," Ron looked over her shoulder, "What happened with your friend?"

Willow's face fell. Checking me out…nice work Buffy. "She went off to find her boyfriend," Willow said smoothly, although there was a cold edge to her voice.

"Did she? Good – I was hoping to get you alone," He smiled. "I'm Ron Weasley."

Willow smiled. Okay – so he was checking me out. Gotta thank Buffy for letting me borrow this skirt. "Willow Rosenberg." A faster song began to play and Willow put her hand out. "You dance?"

"Sometimes – depends on who I'm with." Willow smirked and took his hand, leading him farther out into the dance floor. Willow slung her arms around his neck and felt his hands lay on her hips.

They danced silently for a few minutes. Willow had to courage to move her body closer to his, somewhat mimicking what she'd seen Faith do earlier. She almost laughed when she heard him stifle a groan. "So," she said, trying to pull his attention away from the way the lower half of her body was moving, "you here alone?"

"Not exactly," he said, trying unsuccessfully to ignore the way she was moving her hips, "I'm with my sister. She broke up with her boyfriend and it was Hermione – my friend's - idea to take her out for a night of dancing. She ended up running into her ex anyway. He and some girl with a tattoo on her arm." Ron pulled her closer and was running his hand up and down her back.

It was Willow's turn to try to ignore the feelings he was evoking from her, "A tattoo? She wouldn't happen to have been wearing a tiny red number, did she?"

"Yes – you know her?"

Willow let out a small laugh. "Oh Faith – Queen of the One Night Stands. Leave it to her to pick up someone's ex." She looked over at Xander and blinked. She looked up at Ron and whispered in his ear, "Your sister wouldn't happen to have hair as red as you now, would she?"

"Yes, actually – why?" Willow pointed to the table where Xander was sitting and she noticed Ron tense slightly. "Xander's a friend of mine – she's fine with him. I promise. Awe look, they're holding hands." Willow shot Xander a thumbs up and smiled. Xander looked over and glared at her. Willow waved.

Ron looked over at Ginny and grinned mischievously. He could see Ginny glare from across the room. When she started to get up with – Xander was it? - He tensed and watched as she went over to Hermione. Hermione smiled and Ginny left, arm in arm with Willow's friend. Ron had the sudden urge to follow them.

Willow noticed his attention faltering and knew that he wanted to go after his sister. She wanted Xander to have a good time, and she was having too much fun to give Ron up, so she did the only thing she could think of to turn his attention back to her. Using every ounce of courage she could muster, Willow touched his cheek and when he turned his face, she kissed him, long and hard.

Ron was stunned, to say the least. Willow came off as too shy to be kissing him like this, but that thought flew out the window as she put her arms around his neck deepening the kiss.

When air became a necessity, Willow pulled away, but kept her face near his. "Goddess." She was shocked at the intensity of the kiss, but more about her own openness.

"I'll see your 'goddess' and up you to a 'wow.'"

"Just wow?" Willow kissed his neck lightly.

"Okay, maybe a bit more then wow." Ron leaned down and kissed her again, his hands running through her hair and down her back . Willow gasped as she felt his palm come in contact with her bare skin. Maybe she wanted things to go farther then she originally intended.

"You know," Willow was able to breathe out as Ron moved to kissing her neck, "maybe we should take this somewhere a little more private."

Ron looked at her, eyes gleaming with desire. "Are you coming on to me, Ms. Rosenberg?"

"Goddess yes," Willow said before kissing him again, "are you agreeing Mr. Weasley?"

Ron smiled before kissing her roughly. Willow felt like she was floating, on fire. "Lead the way."

Willow took his hand and led him out the door. They could barely keep their hands off of each other on the way back to the hotel.

If Ron realized that the hotel she led him to was the same as the one he was staying in, he didn't say anything.

He was a little too busy with Willow and an empty bedroom to care.
