The ball of earth destroying power that was Dawn, was actually 2 girls. Dawn became Buffy's sister and Serenity became Willow's sister. Through Willow, Serenity learned to be Wicca and harnessed powers that she had been born with. She later discovers a psychic power.

Dawn and Serenity both were watched over by Spike while their big sisters were out saving the world day after day. Spike became their best friend. Spike in time ended up in love with Buffy, and Dawn and Serenity had to overcome their school girl crushes on said vampire. Dawn got over it, but Serenity secretly remained in love with him.

Soon it was to be their end of days.

Spike and Buffy had only slightly settled their differences.

Spike knew of Serenity's feelings for him, and they both knew that nothing would come of them, but they were closer than ever.

Suddenly in the midst of fight in the Hellmouth, Serenity spotted Spike in his last moments. He had on an amulet and was burning up to save everyone. Buffy said her last goodbyes.

"Spike...I love you." She said.

"No you don't, but thanks for saying it." He answered with his last breath.

Just as he was to be gone forever, Serenity ran to him and held on and they both disappeared together.

In shock, Buffy managed to escape, and sadly reported the loss to Dawn and Willow.

A few months later, in LA., Angel and his own group of scoobies had just accepted the LA. branch of Wolfram and Hart.

Angel was giving his inspirational pep talk to his group in his new office, and found a package on his desk.

"We do the work...our way, one thing at a time." Angel said as he ripped open the envelope.

"We deal... " He continued as an amulet fell out of the envelope, "With whatever comes next.."

The amulet activated immediately.

Spike appeared in a whirlwind in front of them. Everyone was so preoccupied with the appearance of the vampire, that no one noticed the girl on the floor behind him.

Spike seemed freaked out to say the least. You save the world and end up in a law firm.

It took him only a moment to realize that something was wrong.

"Serenity!' He shouted. It was then that he realized his ghostly situation.

He tried to reach out to her, but his hand went right through her.

She wasn't moving.

Angel and his scoobies were at a loss. What should they do? Attack? Question Spike? Stand in spot?

Angel spoke first.

"Spike, what the hell are you doing here? And who's she?" He said.

"Angel, you have to help her!" Spike urged.

Acting as if he had suggested it as opposed to Spike, he bent down beside the seemingly unconscious girl.

He tried to turn her over, but he was unable to grasp her.

Spike panicked.

"She's only human...she probably couldn't handle it..." Spike said.

Fred came from the back of the room to examine the girl.

"What are you talking about Spike? Why do you even care about a girl? It's not like you have a soul." Gunn said.

Spike looked up at Gunn, bewildered.

Angel sighed, having to now say something he wished he wouldn't have to.

"Spike has a soul."

Spike smiled. "I earned my soul. Bet he hasn't mentioned that has he. You thought he was the only one."

Fred stood up and announced that it wasn't important right now who has a soul and who doesn't.

"We have a problem. We need to help this girl. I think she might be unconscious but I can't help her if she's incorporeal. I can't even move her to the lab, she's going to have to stay there..." Fred said.

Spike attempted to bang his head against the wall, but ended up going right through it.

Through the next week, Fred worked day and night to try and make Spike and Serenity corporeal again. All Spike could do was sit in Angel's office Which Angel didn't necessarily enjoy and wait to see if she woke up.

The next day, Spike was passing by Harmony's desk to go torment Angel, and check on Serenity when Harmony interrupted her own phone call to call over Spike.

"Spike, there's a package for you." She said.

"Who the bloody Hell knows I'm here?" He said.

"There isn't any return address." She pointed out. "Open it." She urged.

Spike looked at her impatiently until she realized that he could do no such thing, due to the whole ghost thing.

She then opened the box and they both peered inside expectantly.

Nothing was inside. Annoyed, Spike continued on his way to Angel's office, and unexpectedly smashed into the door when he attempted to go through it. Angel opened the door and looked down at a bruised Spike. They both went to Fred's lab to examine Spike's change in state.

Serenity felt the hard floor beneath her.

Carpet? She thought. Air conditioning? Chinese Food?

She opened her eyes and spotted Gunn's half eaten lunch on Angel's desk.

Frightened by her new surroundings, and confused about why she was here she dared to walk around.

She felt a pain in her chest and proceeded to the entrance hall of Wolfram and Hart, in front of Harmony's desk. Harmony took no notice of her, naturally.

Overwhelmed and ignored, Serenity sat underneath the stairs and started to cry.

In the lab, after all Spike's test panned out, Fred remembered that Serenity would be corporeal now as well, and hurried off to Angel's office to find her.

Fred couldn't find her in the office, but Spike could hear her crying and turned towards the stairs.

"Serenity?" She said aloud.

She turned from the stairs.

"SPIKE!" She yelled and ran to him and hugged him. "Where are we?!" She asked in a panic, right before she fell to the ground, realizing what a great deal of pain she was in.

Fred set up the lab and Serenity lay on an observation table, clutching the area around her rib cage.

Spike was concerned, but he hoped that wouldn't be misleading to her.

After about 5 minutes of Knox, Fred's lab assistant, and Fred examining her, they reported that Serenity had bruised and burned lungs and it's a miracle she's alive.

Serenity didn't know if she should be relieved or not. Now that Spike could do as he pleased and leave Wolfram and Hart, he had no reason to stay with her. She knew that he would leave, he had no reason to stay. She had to adjust to these new people quickly before he left her alone.

"Where'd Angel go?" Fred asked.

"He went o find Lorne. He wants Serenity and me to sing for him. Bugger that. I'm out." Spike said.

"Angel?" Serenity said.

She had never met him, only heard various stories.

"Yes?" He said as he reentered the lab.

"Where's Lorne?" Wesley asked.

"Busy, but he said he'll do a reading as soon as he can." Angel said.

Serenity panicked a little less now that Spike came back in after hearing that he wouldn't be forced to sing right away.

Her happiness was short lived as he decided moments after to go to a club and drink his sorrows away.

Serenity went with Fred to find an office of her own to live in until they could find something else.

Spike took one of Angel's fancy expensive company cars and hit up a strip club.

There he was approached...

"Here's an address to an apartment for you, so you can get away from Angel, Spike." The man said.

"Who the bloody Hell are you?" Spike said rudely.

"You can call me Doyle."

Hesitant, Spike moved into this mysterious house that night.

Serenity was incredibly depressed, but knew that now was as good a time as any to start getting over the man she had thrown away her life for.
