a/n: This is a repost because I needed to fix somethings and I also have a very delightful and bizzare sequel in mind if you guys like this.

Disclaimer: Yeah they aren't mine. They never will be, but I love doing funny things to them.





"You were wonderful, luv," Spike said kissing her forehead.

They stood in the graveyard on a dark night. Spike wore his duster. It was rare that he wore it anymore, but tonight was fitting.

The girl before him smile up at him in adoration. She was blonde and she had a enchanting smile. Buffy would kill him if she found out, but he always had a weakness for blondes.

"Do you think that I am good enough?" she asked

Spike pulled her close and closed his eyes. She was the best he had ever seen, next to Buffy. She possessed a raw talent for hunting vampires that was rare. Especially for a girl who wasn't a slayer. She was a fighter. It made him ache just to watch her. He knew her talent was not right, it wasn't normal for a human girl to have this much talent. He loved her for it and he also feared for her. All he could do was prepare her, teach her the way to fight vampires and hope that she was ready. This girl was going to have a duty some day.

"I knew that I'd find you two here."

The voice rang out, it was angry. It was Buffy.

Spike jumped away from the girl, but he didn't want to look up. He knew what he'd see.

"It isn't his fault," the girl before him was quick to say, "It was my idea."

"You two are ridiculous," Buffy scowled as she stepped between Spike and the girl, "Give me one good reason not to stake you.

Spike looked up sheepishly. Her green eyes were almost bright enough to be the sun. He almost turned to dust right then and there.

He looked at her. She hadn't aged a day since she had died nearly twenty-five years ago. Her blonde hair was shining and her little body stood taut against him. He wished that he hadn't been sneaking around.

"Stop being so.."

"Tell me it's not what I think," she growled.

"Damn Buffy you know exactly what it is."

Buffy threw him. He crashed into a headstone. Her powers had only grown stronger in the recent years.

"You," she growled at the girl, "Go home."

She turned to Spike.

"You…go sleep in sunlight or something."

Spike didn't bother getting up he didn't think that limping would be too impressive right now. He decided to go for causal. He smiled his Big Bad smile.

"Why Slayer you're sexy when you're all brassed off."

Buffy shot him the glare from hell and turned and walked away.

The girl came over to him and gave him a hand. She knew that he was probably broken somewhere.

"I'm sorry."

"Can't be helped." Spike shrugged it off wincing at the ribs that were definitely broken.

"I think that she and I are going to have a long talk tomorrow. There are some things that Ms. High and Mighty needs to be told."

"And you're the one to tell her?"

"I've kept my mouth shut far too long. You can only tell her so much. She needs to hear me say it."

Spike put his arms around her.

"You're the best Vampire Hunter I've seen since your mother."

She smiled at the compliment.

"Thanks, but could you do me a favor. Can you and mom quit fighting like that. I mean growing up with the slamming doors and the comments on staking and sunlight should make it hurt less, but could the two of you act like grown ups please. Even at twenty-one years old I'm terrified that my parents will get a divorce."

"Kinda hard to divorce when you have never really been married."

"Missing point, lets try to focus. You two need to grow up."

"Just because you look older than us doesn't mean that you are," Spike told her.

"Agggg," she cried to the stars in mock frustration, "My parents are going to be the death of me."
