The Never Figured Series
Author: Mary (craZchica@simple-dreams.com)
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters, but Joss has given us fanfic writers permission to use them as we wish. I'm only following orders.

This is the first in a series of really short ficlets about the secret vices of the scooby gang.

I'm open to suggestions, so if you have an idea for any character that has appeared on Buffy (or Angel, as I'm planning on doing the LA gang too), please email me with the character and the vice you'd like to see. It can be a character that has already been done. And you'll get credit for the idea. Any characters you want, from Willow and Dawn, to a single episode character. Just let me know what you'd like to see! The basic idea is to have that character doing something that is completely OUT of character for them. Something you wouldn't expect.

And as always, please review. *grins*


Tearful Endings and New Beginnings

*****

The man she loved reached for her, just as the enemy stabbed him.

But in his moment of apparent victory, the enemy lost his precious hold on the stone in front of him, and fell to his death.

She pulled her love up to safety, but it wasn't enough. He was already passing. She listened to his soft sigh of happiness that he was able to see her, but she knew it was the end.

A tear rolled down Spike's cheek as the scene played out. So much pain, so much suffering... finished in that moment. It was too late. He was gone.

I love you.

With that simple phrase from her tearstained lips, he was changed. The demon he once was, the beast he used to be, melted away to reveal a handsome man.

The pain and suffering was ended with that simple phrase. Forgotten and replaced with happiness as his world changed from dark to light and rainy to sunny. Beautiful days were ahead...

Never figured you one for Disney movies.

Spike's head snapped from the screen to the doorway, where Buffy stood with a smirk.

The Vampire answered by throwing her a dirty look, and bolting out of the crypt in embarassment.

Buffy just laughed as the credits to Beauty and the Beast' played on the television.
