The Beginning.

It's a lovely day in Sunnydale and Xander, Willow, Cordy and Buffy are sitting on grass at Sunnydale high.

"So, catch any bad guys last night?" Xander asked biting into a salami sandwich.

"Yeah, a few vampires in a crypt but nothing exciting!" Buffy answered. Cordy, Willow and Buffy were lying on the grass getting a tan.

"You know what, I have never figured out why girls like sunbathing!" Xander said.

"It's to make cute guys notice you, but you wouldn't know that would you 'cause I wouldn't call you cute!" Cordy said.

"Ha ha, very funny."

"Oh shoot, the bell has just gone. We best get back to class." Willow said.

"Hey Giles, need a hand? I have a free class and I wanted to know if there was anything evil out there that I should know of." Buffy said walking into the library.

"Buffy, there is always something evil, but there are no demons that I know of that are making trouble, at the moment." Giles said reading a book called 'Vampires and how to treat them.'

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

"Come in, it's open." Giles said a bit shocked that someone actually wanted to come into the library.

"Hi, I was wondering if I could join the library. Oh is it a bad time I can come back," a guy with an English accent, bleach blond hair and wearing all black said.

"No, I am always happy when a student wants to join the library, let me just go get the forms." Giles said shocked that a student in Sunnydale high actually wanted to join the library.

"Oh, you read it too. That's a great book." The guy said pointing at the book Giles was reading.

"Ok, G-Mr Giles thanks for the book I best be off." Buffy said picking up a book that was on the table.

"Don't leave on my account," The guy said.

"Oh no, I'm not I just have to study for my next class." Buffy said.

"Ok, what do you have next?" The guy asked

"Geometry."

"Oh, I have that too. Would you mind waiting so you can show me where it is please."

"Yeah, sure,"

"Ok, I have them. What's your name?" Giles asked coming back from where the files were.

"William. T. B. Allen."

"How old are you?"

"17"

"Ok, let me just get your card and then you are finished," Giles said walking over to a shelf. "There you are, thank you joining Sunnydale High Library."

"Ok, see you around." William said

"So, are you into books?" Buffy asked as they walked to the geometry class.

"Yeah, it is just so relaxing!" William said.

"Great, I have another friend who loves the books. Please don't tell me you're into studying all the time."

"No, I just love reading, not studying. So, is this our class?" William asked pointing at a class with Geometry written on the door.

"Yes, this is our class, William. I'm Buffy by the way." Buffy said

"Buffy, that's a lovely name. You can call me Spike by the way, all my friends do."

"Spike, that's an interesting name!"

"Hey Buffy, did you get to talk to G-Mr Giles about renewing your library card?" Willow asked realising that Buffy was not alone.

"What, oh yeah, I did." Buffy said playing along.

"Hi, I'm Spike, and you are?" Spike said.

"Oh hi, I'm Willow. I'm Buffy's study buddy!" Willow said doing her little laugh. "So Buffy, are you studying tonight?" Willow asked and Buffy knew she was talking about patrolling.

"Yeah, of course." Then the bell rang and they went into their class.

"So, what are you studying tonight?" Spike asked as Buffy sat down next to him.

"Oh, I'm not. I just say that to keep Willow happy! Why?" Buffy asked curiously.

"I just wanted to know. I was wondering, would you show me where everyone goes after school on a Friday night. Who is that?" Spike asked pointing at Xander who kept on giving Spike the evil eye.

"Yeah sure. That's Xander he is my best friend along with Willow."

"Why does he looking at me like that?"

"Well Xander gets jealous a lot, especially of me because he used to have a crush on me and just hasn't gone away!"

"Oh!!! So, eh, I was wondering, I know you said you would show me where you go tonight to relax, but I was wondering, eh, would you like to go for coffee one day?" Spike asked shyly.

"Are you asking me out on a date?" Buffy asked smiling.

"If you want it to be!" Spike said now going bright red!

"Sure, do you want me to show you where that is as well?"

"If you wouldn't mind!"

~*~*~*~*

Buffy and Spike are talking about their families as Spike is walking Buffy home.

"Yeah, now my mom and dad are split up so it's my mom, my sis and me!" Buffy said as they came close to her house.

"My parents died a few months ago and now I live in my uncle's basement." Spike said a little sadly.

"Oh, I'm sorry, if I had known I would have-God I'm such a dumb-ass here I am talking about my parents troubles and yours are dead-"

"It's ok, I don't like talking about them much anyway." Spike said looking at his shoes so Buffy couldn't see him go whiter then what he was.
