"AHHH!" screamed Spike with agonizing pain. There was a extremely bright orange light, and then, there was blackness. All he remembered from that point was the thought of the demon he had seeked in Africa walking away muttering about how vampires were so weak and pitiful.

Buffy sat on her bed sharpening Mr. Pointy while listening to Willow sob in the room nearby. She finished sharpening the stake and smiled as she remembered Kendra, the other slayer, who had given her the dubbed piece of wood. Then she remembered how Drusilla, the evil blood-sucking bitch, had sliced Kendra's throught with her finger nails, while Buffy was being luered into a trap Angel -no Angelicus- had laid for her.

She tried to forget about Drusilla, cause it made her think about Spike, who had just dissapered last summer after attempting to rape her. She knew she should be mad, she knew she shouldn't want him back, but Spike was like a part of her. She just needed him. She was still in la-la land when Dawn knocked on Buffy's door- for the 5th time. Buffy finnaly opened up, and Dawn nearly knocked on Buffy's face before noticing her short blond sister in front of her.

"Buff, I'm going to the Magic Box. I'm supposed to be training with Giles."

"What time?" Buffy asked her. Please say now. I have got to leave this place, Buffy silently said to herself.

"15 minutes ago?" Dawn nearly squeeked, expecting to see a shocked and very angry Buffy. Instead, she saw relief and gladness. Okaaaay, thought Dawn, very surprised at Buffy's reaction.

Both Summer's girls walked downstairs and got their coats, even though they really didn't need one on a hot summer day like this in California. Buffy opened the door to see a very depressed looking Spike standing on the doorstep.

Oh. My. God. was all that Buffy could think. Over and over again in her brain. Finally she could say something. And that was "You bastard! You asshole! How dare you come back! Why did you leave? Why did you come back? WHERE WERE YOU!" Each sentence came with a punch. And all of a sudden Buffy stopped and hugged Spike. He was on the ground, trying to recover from all the punches, and she just knocked him on his back. He was shocked, but he was smiling.

"Well, hello to you to luv".
