Next Morning : 8.00

Buffy sits up. She is lying on a blanket and has a blanket wrapped around her. She stands up and she stumbles towards the front door of what looks like a dusty old boiler room. As she opens the door. There he is. Her Prince. The guy she has been mourning over for a year. Thinking he was dead.

Buffy: Spike?
Spike: Buffy...hi, how are you feeling?
Buffy: Spike?
Spike: Buffy! Bloody Hell I knew this would happen.
Buffy: No No No!

She kicks him out of the way

Buffy: This cant be happening, every where I go hes there! Oh my God! (She holds her head as she walks home)

Summers House : 12.00

Buffy is upstairs lying on her bed crying. She hears the front door bang and she can hear Willow, Xander, Kennedy and Andrew downstairs talking.

Willow: Where do you think she could of gone?
Xander: I knew she wasnt to be left alone we should have brought her home earlier.
Willow: Well we cant go back in time can we...well there might be a spell that--
Kennedy: Sweetie, now's really not the time for your spell tutorial
Willow: Right ok um...
Andrew: Does anyone mind if I eat this? (He holds up a hurricane chocolate bar)
Xander: No thats mine--

Willow and Kennedy give him a glare

Xander: Fine go ahead.

They all hear a noise come from upstairs.

Willow: Buffy?
Xander: Buff?

They all run upstairs. Xander checks the bathroom while Kennedy checks the other bathroom on the top floor and Willow checks Buffy's bedroom which is also on the top floor. She walks in to find Buffy curled up on her bed crying.

Willow: Buffy, are you OK? Why did you take off last night without saying anything?
Buffy: I...I ...--
Willow: Its ok. We were worried about you. Not that we dont think that you could take care of yourself but just worried.

Xander bursts in to find Willow hugging Buffy while Buffy still cries her eyes out.

Xander: Hey Buff, you OK?
Willow: (mouths to Xander) Gimmie a sec!

Xander in understanding what his red headed friend had said nodded and walked out closing the door behind him.

Willow: Buffy, do you want to tell me whats wrong?
Buffy: I just keep seeing him!
Willow: Who?
Buffy: Spike! Hes everywhere, first it was just in my head but now im seeing proper images of im i just...
Willow: Thats totally normal. I kept seeing Tara.
Buffy: Yeah but it felt so real, like he was actually there.
Willow: You will get over him and you need to help yourself do that ok? and we will help you as much as we possibly can! ( she gives a soft smile in Buffys direction)

Buffy looks up and smiles

Buffy: Thanks Will.
Willow: Hey do you wanna come down and offer loads of fruit to Andrew?

Buffy laughs along with Willow. They both get up and go downstairs.
