Prologue:
After "Normal Again", Giles has returned to help the Scoobies prevent yet another threat of apocalypse. Dawn committed suicide shortly after Buffy's double reality episode. But through all this Buffy, Willow, Xander, and Spike have stood strong and stayed together. Buffy and Spike's relationship calmed down and they've become more like friends. In this story we find Buffy, Spike and Giles walking into the Magic Box, talking quite loudly but we can't hear what they are saying.
Part 1
Buffy storms into the Magic Box with Giles and Spike close behind. Giles looks unusually pissed. "You want me to go where?!?"
"Y-Yes Buffy I know it is quite a-a distance, but."Giles is trying to put things back in order from after the last demon attack.
"But nothing Giles! There is no way I am going to some desert in the Middle East to look for some dumb lamp thingy that probably doesn't exist!"
"But it is the only way to stop the demons fr-from overtaking Sunnydale, and th-the Slayer there is, uhm, inaccessible," He glares at Buffy over the counter of the Magic Box as only he can.
"Fine!" As she plops down into a chair, "But I'm not going alone! I'm not that dumb! oh yes let's send Buffy out into the middle of the desert all alone, maybe she won't come back!"
"Uhm, well very well then, take Spike. He'll be of the most help since you are going to be traveling at night."
Xander pops up from behind the counter with various objects in his hands. "WHAT?!? Spike? Why spike? Why not me? I was like Mr. commando guy I can help"
"No Xander, Giles is right Spike will be the most help this time."
"OK! Hello! When did I volunteer to go? You all think that just because I have this blasted chip in my skull I am a super pal.I never said I wanted to help," Buffy gives him a death threat glare and gets up to put some books back on a top shelf, "ok just what is it that the slayer and I are supposed to fetch this time?" Spike lights a cigarette and sits in the chair Buffy left.
"W-well Spike I don't know. Willow does though and she is to arrive mome."Giles is interrupted buy Willow's entrance.
"Howdy all!"
"Hi Will" Buffy says as she falls off the ladder she was on.
As Spike helps her up Willow clears off the table and stands up a chair and takes a seat behind a pile of books.
"Oh Hell, Red, don't tell me that what me and the slayer are going after is in "Aladdin's Tales", You do know that's all bloody make-believe right?"
"Ok I take it Giles told you guys about the lamp?"
"Uh yeah." Buffy walks to the table and after discovering that all 4 of the chairs are taken seats herself on Spikes Lap," kinda, so what is this, is it that rub-a-dub genie thing? Because I could so make 3 wishes and not regret any of them."
Willow laughs, "Uhm.No Buffy, no magical genie this time, well there is but he's not like Robin Williams happy blue genie, he's like the big bad guy genie type."
"So he grants bad guys wishes? Then why am I bringing it to bad guy central?"
"No it doesn't grant wishes, exactly, what it does is give the slayer the power to do the impossible pretty much, all the scriptures are pretty vague but from what I gathered it will give you some like super-duper slayer strength and some other cool powers, as well as grant what your hearts deepest desire's, other than bringing back the dead, so you will be able to stop this up coming slaughter fest the demons are planning."
"So, does this do me any good? I mean does it do anything for vampires?"
"Well not sure.but it guess is your heart is in the same mission as the slayer then it should, but because vampires don't really have hearts like soulish hearts so maybe not."
"Well Will, I guess all those degrees really do show something, Giles cant even tell us what we are looking for anymore he does the ask willow thing! Ok anyway, so where is this thing?"
"Buffy, as your Watcher I have arranged for your transportation to the desert and back but once you are there you and Spike will have to do a ritual to guide you there, and it only works with a slayer so, that's why you have to go. But th- the ritual should guide you to the uh-approximate area and you will find it from there easily alright?"
"OK Giles but if I die again, don't blame me!"
"Ok watcher, and you are sure none of your bloody friends are going to try to stake me?"
"No Spike, they are informed of your uh-situation."
"Situation? Damn Ripper I am a Vampire a bloodsucking killing machine, and I'm damn good at it might I add!"
"ok Spike! Enough of the ego trip, lets go pack and get some sleep before we have to leave."
"Alright Slayer, I'll be in a sec I need a word with Red first."
"Alright I'll wait then."
Spike and Willow go aside and begin to whisper to one another.
"So anything new Willow? I mean any luck finding a spell or some bleedin' thing to make me human again?"
"Spike no, no luck, I mean the closest thing I can find is the curse Angel has, and I think the point of all this is to make you and Buffy happy right?"
"Well yeah Red of course, I don't want all the crap that comes with being human, but being able to be with Buffy the way I want to be and to make her totally happy makes all the mushy bull shit worth it. Wow I have turned into such a bloody wanker like my sire."
"Yeah but its cute Spike, I'll let you know when I find something, but until then you better be hoping that this lamp grants vampire wishes."
"Yeah I know. Thanks Red"
"Spike are you ready? I'm tired!! Let's go already!"
"Ah! I'm coming Slayer.don't get your bleedin' panties in a twist!"
Buffy and Spike leave the Magic Box and go to Buffy's house, to gather weapons and their clothes, since spike had been kicked out of his crypt by Buffy and her friends because someone was going to be buried there, he had gathered quite a bit of things at the slayers house, even acquired his own room and was working a night job, to help Buffy out with the bills since her Mom and Dawn died. He hated it, he hated being soft and he hated being a good guy. Or at least that's what he made every one think. Deep inside Spike wanted to be human again, he wanted to be with Buffy and die with Buffy, to walk in the sunshine again with her, just to be a man again, to be her man. That was the only reason he gave a shit whether or not the damn lamp did this wish thingy for vampires, he wanted to make Buffy happy, and if he happened to get more than one wish he might just off his sire for the fun of it. But they had to find this damn lamp first.
Spike walked up the stairs to Buffy's room to say good night, he noticed the pictures on the wall of her and her family, and thought, " Yep, she always has had that bloody sarcasim, you can even tell in her baby pictures, she was destined to become the chosen pain in the ass," and even though he knew it was true that she did get on his nerves, " But I love the bleedin' girl, the only one that ever accepted me as a man when I was the farthest from it." He made his way up the rest of the stairs and knocked on her door, when there was no answer he slowly opened the door, and found her asleep at her desk on top of a map of the desert they were going to be stranded in for two and a half weeks. She looked so peaceful, so happy, she looked like she wasn't holding the fate of the world on her shoulders and every waking moment, like a normal woman, his woman. He leant down and picked her up in his arms and carried her to the bed, as he was laying the covers over her delicate childlike body, she softly whispered his name, and smiled. Spike lit up inside, and all doubt about their new mission was immediately washed away, and replaced with joy and determination, now he knew he had to find this lamp for Buffy, and to try to make his wish come true, and to finally be with Buffy as they should be. He kissed her forehead and left the room.
Part 2
"Good morning Spikey!"
"Morning Slayer."
"Ah I see the curtains Tara made are very pro-vampire huh?"
"Wha..huh? oh curtains, yes they work alright."
"They aren't great looking but they keep our little spike from going poof all flamey and stuff so they are super to me!"
"Thanks Slayer."
"Oh by the way thanks for tucking me in last night guess I was more tired than I thought and I fell asleep on the job."
"Welcome Slayer"
They made some small talk throughout breakfast and talked about what the plans were for getting to where they were going, without getting spike a bad case of the permanent sunburn.
"Buffy?"
"Yeah Spike?"
"Do you think things would be different if I were human again? I mean would we have a real relationship? Because we both know that this is just something we play with now, because we know I could never really DO any thing you need in a guy."
"Spike, this is real, and I do care about you. You are what I need in a guy, you're a friend, even though you aren't supposed to be," Buffy put her arms around his waist and looked in his eyes, "and you love me as much as I love you. Even though it would be nice if you were human sometimes, so we could go out during the day, and share other things in life, I have accepted the way you are and you are happy being a vampire, and that's what matters to me."
"You love me?"
"Well Yeah silly duh! Wow you are so the last to know."
"Really?"
"Yeah.you ok?"
"I love you too Buffy."
"Yeah Spike I know, now don't get all movie of the week on me ok? We have things to do today to plan for this magical journey we have to take ok?"
"Sorry Slayer, but if I could be human, I mean if I had the chance would you want me to take it?"
"Sure! But only if it would make you happy, I don't want you to do something that would make you miserable."
"Alright Slayer. Now about this lamp thingy; what the bloody hell are we doing going after it, cant Giles just order it like he does every other thing on earth?"
"Nope, from what Willow says it can only be removed from the place by the chosen one and I am the chosen one."
"Are you sure it is the vampire slaying chosen one?"
"Yeah it says something about the balance of good and evil and death and life and then me.so I assume I am the one and only chosen one, because faith died trying to get it, and we all thought it would be her because she is the one that was the technical slayer. so that kinda narrowed it down to me."
"Ok I guess that does work."
" Yep."
