DISCLAIMER: hello all you little future reviewers (and you are future reviewers!). Just to let you in in a little not-so-well-kept seceret, I don't own the "40 days and 40 nights" plot/storyline or any of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer characters. God I wish I owned Spike. Mmmm Spiiiiiiike. :). but sadly, he and his cronies are not mine so don't sue me. please. Thank you!! But I own this particular story and I haven't seen it done before, if it has and it's yours, whoops sorry! but I own this little tale so please don't take it from me!!! R/R please! And its soooo long since anyone did a funny spike story!! They the best!!! Btw this is my first fanfic and I only wee. So go easy! (

" Its just after Easter and coming up to lent Sunnydale is dead, there's no activity and the group are having to make up their own entertainment, namely Spike. This is set about season 5, before Spike has told Buffy he loves her and before he really or at least he doesn't think he does, I aint sure where I gonna take this so feedback is greatly appreciated. I may put Dawn in though I'm not sure yet. This is just a fun wee fic I wrote awhile ago and never finished. Hope ya like Amz xxx 40 Days and 40 Nights!

"Has Sunnydale ever been this quiet before? It's so quiet I'm actually looking forward to the next big bad!" Whined Xander,

The demon population had seemed to vanish over the past few days, not that they minded so much,

"Well I'm liking the lack of baddies for once". Willow declared "Means we can have a break..." "Yeah, while that's all good it," He looked at Anja "and it can be, just well.I'm bored!"

Anja pondered this for awhile "Ooh! Lents coming up! Silly little Christian holiday where you all give us something nice! That could be a challenge! Well for you guys anyway, I prefer not to, My favourite things are sex and Xander and I like them too much to give up for that long!"

How 'bout big no! I don't do lent; you have to give up chocolate and nice things like that. I tried it once and Willow tricked me!"

"You actually grabbed my Cookie Buff!"

"Yeah, I'm with everyone else on this one I need everything I have." Said Xander

"Sure this is Sunnydale after all! Some Big Bad demon is bound to show up sooner or later, hopefully sooner than later." Grumbled Buffy "Something always turns up." "Demons are so annoying like that!"

At that point Spike strided through the door and sat himself firmly on the counter

"Speaking of annoying." Buffy stared at Spike



"Well hi to you too!" He jeered sarcastically at her "So? Anything coming, new Big Bads? Apocalypse? Anything!"

Xander Sighed "Nope. It's Vacation time in demon land."

"Great! I got nothin to do now!" He whined, and mumbled to himself "Wonder if Harm's busy, Bloody good Shag!"

The Group stared at him "Eugh!!!!"

"You're such a perv Spike!! You couldn't last one day with out sex!"

"Bloody could! I could go ages without sex!" he said stating matter of factly, "plus I got all I need right here" holding up his hands he grinned at her The group again stared at him especially the girls "Eugh!!!!"

After about half a minute of silence Buffy's head shoots up "Dare you!!!"

"What?!" Said Spike a bit confused

"That you can't go a day without any form of sex, fondling, or even touching!"

"Please slayer, a day?! That's far too easy - you're bloody awful at dares!"

"Ooooooooo!!!!!" By this stage Anja had caught on and saw what Buffy's up to "Lent!!! Yes the silly tradition none of us are doing it so u can!"

The Group all smiled evilly at Spike, Xander grinning like the cat that got the cream

" What?!" He managed to choke out a little surprised

Buffy grinned which made him making him stir a bit in his seat "Lent! We all dare you to give up any form of sex. As in touching, fondling, reading or watching for lent!"

"That's 40 bloody days and nights! Are you insane?!"

"Ha!! See? You're too much of a perv to do it! Probly don't have the will power either"

Spike went to protest but was interrupted by Xander

"Never thought I'd see the day when Spike William the Bloody gave up on a dare! Not one as big as this!" He said shaking his head

"Now wait one bloody minute here! I can do it!!, If I really want to!!"

"So you accept?" Asked Buffy grinning at him like a madman

Without thinking it through Spike Crossed his arms

" Bloody right I do!!!!"
