Short Circuits. Intervention ep. a little different because something even weirder happens. There is going to be an additional robot and I'm not telling you who. It will be Spuffy for my fine feather friends. LOL. That's you Tammy; don't let the cats eat ya.

Spike was staring at something. He is in Warren's house, where Warren has already complied with Spike's orders.

"Some say it's better'n the real thing," says Spike.

A nervous Warren replies, "Better than the real thing."

Spike looks down at a pair of feet, with ugly shoes on and slowly goes up. The person he is looking at is revealed to be an identical twin sister of Buffy Summers. (The Buffy bot.) She wears a knee-length pleated skirt of pale pink, a blouse of darker pink, and a black jacket. Her eyes are closed as she stands there.

"She looks good, but what about the rest?" Spike is still staring at the bot. "A little walk, a little talk…"

Warren is stuffing books into a backpack and looks worried that Spike might not be satisfied with the Buffybot.

"...perhaps a zippy cartwheel…"

"Hey, she's, uh, great," replies Warren. "You'll be real happy, I swear, she's got everything you asked for. All the extra programming, tons of real-world knowledge, the profiles you gave me about her family and friends."

"ALL the extra programming, right?"

"Ah, the, the stuff that you wanted, the, uh, scenario responses, you know, the, uh, uh, special ... skills …" Warren laughs nervously. "All of it. Now, you said that I could leave-"

Warren tries to go past, but Spike grabs his arm.

"Wait. I'm not sure I'm a satisfied customer. She looks a little shiny to me, you know, uh…" Spike looks at the Buffybot's eyes, which are closed. "...touch of plasticine…"

The Buffybot's eyes pop open.

"Spike?" says the Buffybot, with much enthusiasm. The Buffybot smils hugely. "Oh, Spike!" She hurries over to Spike, puts her hands on his shoulders and kisses him on the mouth. She pulls back, still with a big smile.

"She'll do."

Meanwhile, earlier on, Buffy had a word with Warren after the April incident. She tells him that she understands his wanting to have companion and making a robot that understands you unconditionally. So she asks him to make her one, too.

A couple of weeks after her talk with Warren, he calls her and Buffy heads over to his house to see the finished product of her bot companion. She looks at the bot and goes around it.

"Everything is checked," says Buffy.

"Yeah, all the programs," says Warren. "And everything you told me."

"Good." Buffy faces the robot as he opens his eyes. She caresses his face and looks into his deep, blue eyes. The bot opens his eyes and looks at Buffy for the first time. "You didn't forget the British accent?"

"No, I didn't."

"Hello, Buffy," says the bot. He touches her face slightly and pushes a strand of hair from her face. Then he leans closer to her and kisses her lightly on the lips. Buffy smiles after the release.

"Yep, he'll do," says Buffy, mesmerized by her new companion robot.

That night, Buffy sneaks in her bot through the back. Holding his hand, she leads him upstairs to her room. She sits him down on her bed.

"Oh, my gosh," says Buffy to herself. "I can't believe I did this. Maybe I should have asked for a Luke Perry look-alike."

"Luke Perry is a wuss," says the bot. "I'm all you need."

"I must have been crazy for doing this. This is so something that Spike would have done."

"What would I have done?"

"This, making you. Having you be my companion. It's crazy. It almost makes me believe that…"

"Luv, you're not crazy to me." The Spikebot walks over to Buffy, who feels a little flustered. He grabs hold of her and Buffy can almost feel like if Spike was really holding her.

"Why am I feeling this way? I don't get me."

"I get you, pet. I'm the only one who does."

Buffy gives him a pout and looks at him. She gets lost in those blue eyes as always and holds him close to her. Buffy lays her head on his chest.

"As hard as that is to believe, you're right." Buffy pulls away slowly. "I'll be back. Going to check up on Dawn." Buffy leaves the room.

The night when Spike took his Buffybot home, he had lots of fun with her. When she tired him out, she decided to do her Slayer duties and fight vampires.

On that same night, Buffy went on her quest to find out more about her Slayer powers in the desert with Giles. She has Spikebot in the basement and no one goes in there much. Buffy always says that she'll do the laundry every time the laundry must be done. There she talks to Spikebot, who sleeps in the small cot. She is a little scared that she left him all alone and hopes he doesn't decide to go upstairs.

Xander and Anya patrol for Buffy and meet up with Buffybot. She smiles at them and says hey.

"Buffy, you came back early," says Xander. "So, how was it?"

"I don't understand what you're asking me," says Buffybot. "But thank you for asking."

Xander and Anya look at each other, then back at Buffy.

"You're my friend and a carpenter."

"Are you all right? You're all…"

"Hey! Wait up!" says Spike as he comes running up to the three.

"Spike!" Buffy says happily. She turns to Xander and Anya. "It's Spike. And he's wearing a coat."

A panting Spike says, "Yes. Uh ... hello all." The Buffybot tries to take his hand, but he pulls it away. "Ow! Hey. Give a fella a break there, Slayer." She smiles and tries to walk closer to him, but he moves away, going closer to Xander and Anya. "Uh, I'm glad you're all here, uh, 'cause, uh, 'cause ... the place is crawling with vamps tonight. Uh, tons of 'em. I, uh, think we oughta split up."

"We haven't seen any vamps, are you sure there's…" says Xander. They hear a noise and they all look to the side. Three vamps come around a corner.

They begin to fight the vamps. Anya and Xander take one, Spike takes the second one, and the third is the Buffybot's.

"I think that was probably the big action for the night," says Spike. "You two can toddle on home if you want."

"Uh ... Buffy?" says Xander as he turns to her.

Smiling, Buffybot says, "Yes. Spike and I will do it alone. You guys head home."

Xander looks suspicious, but he and Anya leave anyway. Spike and the bot watch them go. The bot frowns and wiggles her shoulders. Spike comes around in front of her.

"Hmm," says Buffybot. "I don't understand this. I-I did the slaying. I should be…"

"Satisfied?" says Spike, leering.

The Buffybot nods and pouts, then says, "But I'm not. I-I'm all …" She wiggles her shoulders. "And my skin is all hot. Do I look hot to you?" Spike is grinning at her.

"Always."

"You better feel me to make sure."

"I can do that."

They kiss.

Buffy gets home early and she heads into the cemetery to make sure her friends don't need any help. She hears some moaning and groaning. From afar she sees herself straddling Spike. Her eyes bulge out at the sight.

A couple feet away, Anya and Xander see the same thing. Buffy sees that her friends are watching that. She is so angry at Spike. Why would he…then it hit her. Warren must have made a bot for him, too. Buffy quickly runs out of the cemetery.

Xander and Anya burst into Xander's apartment, startling both Tara and Willow.

"Where's Dawn?" asks Xander.

"She, she's in the bedroom, she fell asleep," replies Tara.

"Good."

"What's goin' on?" asks Willow.

"Buffy's gone insane," says Xander.
