Tabitha was out hunting with her sister. They had met up with her sister's boyfriend and were now patrolling. Tabitha was feeling like the third wheel, as she always did.
"Hey, I am going to head home. You two can take care of things on your own," she said to them.
"You sure, Tabitha? I could use your help," her sister said to her.
"Sorry Buffy, but I've got lots of homework to do, and it's all due tomorrow," she explained wearily.
"Buffy, if she wants to go let her. We will be fine on our own," Riley told her.
"I'll see you at home then," Buffy promised.
"See ya," Tabitha said as she left the two love birds by themselves.

Tabitha walked out of the cemetery alone. It was a usual scene for her; every time Buffy and Riley met up, she would leave. She was getting sick of it and wanted at least a night of slaying by herself. It didn't help that her and Buffy were twins, and it was strange that there were twin slayers. As Tabitha made her way home, she sensed she was being followed, and turned around to see who it was.
"Leave me the hell alone, Spike," she hissed under her breath.
"I'm just out walking, Tabby," he said casually.
"Don't call me Tabby. And you out walking can never be a good thing." She said bitterly.
"Let me guess; sis and captain cardboard have met up, and you felt like the third wheel," he said, almost as if he were reading her mind.
Tabitha ignored him, not feeling like listening to another one of Spike's rants about Buffy and Riley, and turned around to continue home. The vampire always drained her energy with his horribly hidden jealousy for the happy couple.
"Spike, get over yourself. Buffy loves Riley and no matter what you do those two will never break up." Though she was a little annoyed with Buffy, it was almost instinct to defend her twin.

Being twin slayers had many ups and downs. They were in tuned with each other's feelings, but Tabitha hated Buffy feeling all lovey dovey with Riley, because it was almost like she was feeling it too. They were complete opposites, felt completely different things, yet they knew when one another were hurting. It definitely came in handy in times of need.

"Whatever Tabby," Spike replied bitterly. He proceeded to follow her home.
"Spike, I can tell; you're in love with her. I see the way you look at her when you're spying on her," she shot at him, barely holding in a soft giggle.
"I do not spy on her!" he defended himself indignantly. His voice was laced with humiliation, and Tabitha knew that if Spike was human, his face would be bright red.
"Then why are you following her all the time? And coming by the house so much?" Tabitha questioned.
"God, I am not in love with your twin sister. You make me so mad sometimes that I want to punch you." His voice was so angry that it caused her to stop and look at him.
"Punch me, then" she threatened. Spike moved closer, but didn't raise a fist. "Thought so. You can't punch me 'cause of that chip."
"I can punch you chip or no chip," he maniacally as he raised his fist and punched the gentle curves of her cheeks. He then screamed in agony, grasping his forehead like a bullet had shot through it. The vampire fell to the ground.

Tabitha rubbed her cheek as it began to turn unnatural colors. She looked at him in pain. "See Spike, you're useless," she said quietly and turned back around to head home. As she passed him, he grabbed her arm and pulled himself back to his feet. He turned Tabitha around and kissed her without an explanation.

Buffy was still patrolling with Riley when she began to feel uneasy. It took almost no time for her to realize that her sister was in trouble.
"What is it, Buffy?" Riley asked, seeing that Buffy had a funny look on her face. His big puppy-like eyes showed concern.
"Tab, she's in trouble," Buffy told him slowly. "I'm sorry, but I have to go." Buffy ran off towards home where Tabitha had been heading, in search for her beloved twin sister.
