What happened on the night when Xander talks to Dawn about her being extraordinary? What happened with Buffy and Spike? Here we go: Potential.
Buffy went out onto the back porch to get some fresh air, looking up at the stars. She sat down on the steps as Spike came out the back door. He sat down next to her and they sat silently for minutes until he broke the silence.
" Buffy? I know I have no right at all to be even suggesting the single idea of this but uh... do you think there will ever be a chance for us to be together? ", asked Spike.
Before she could answer he continued
"You know what, don't even answer that. It's always gonna be Angel isn't it? "
Again before she answered it he continued
"Don't answer that either, I hate Peaches as it is, I really don't need another thing making me mad. "
"Spike, you know that I will always love Angel but that doesn't necessarily mean that I'll always be in love with him. And to answer your earlier question I believe that maybe sometime if we defeat the first there might be a chance for us to talk about it. You've changed Spike. I know you don't see it but I sure do. You've made history in the watchers council as the vampire who fought for his soul. No one has ever done something so amazing for me before. So, for now let's just say one day.
And that's when they kissed. It wasn't a hot, fiery kiss but it was just a quick peck. Neither Spike nor Buffy had to say anything else. They were silent then. And they stayed that way until Buffy had fallen asleep on his shoulder. Spike carried her up to bed, took her shoes off and put her under the covers.
'' One day '', said Spike as he walked out of the room and closed the door silently.
What happened between Spike and Buffy on the night before Sunnydale became a hole in the ground?
(Buffy's POV)
I walked down the basement steps, and was overcome with happiness as Spike stood up to greet me. I don't know why I can't tell him how I feel. But I'm sure if I did he wouldn't believe me, I mean he has a pretty good reason not to after everything we've been through. Man, I lost count of all the times I told him it wouldn't work for us because he had no soul. But last night changed things. He showed his soul for me to see and I'm so happy he's with me and he's never gonna leave. My feet are moving and before I know what was happening I was in his embrace.
I missed being this close to him. I'm saddened at the thought that the only time I was really close to him before was the night that he held me. I want to talk to him about the possibilities of us being a couple. I really do want to be with him because he has really proved to me that he is a changed man. So here it goes... I'm going to tell him...
(Spike's POV)
I stand up as she walks down the basement steps, her golden hair going down her shoulders in long beautiful strands. I have never seen anything so beautiful in my unlife and my life. I don't know what she wants to talk to me about. This might be the last time she gets to see her home and she is coming down to see an unworthy vampire. I put the amulet down in my coat which was sitting on the ground. She keeps coming closer and the soft scent of vanilla is intoxicating. All of a sudden she stops and looks at me as if I actually good in her eyes and then she tells me what she's been hiding for the past year...
I love you
