Spike blocks Buffy's path in a darkened alley.
"Get out of my way!," she says.
"Or what?," he says.
Buffy pulls back and hits Spike in the face. Spike steps back a few paces and returns by punching her in the face. The blow, spinning her around.
Mockingly Spike says, "Oh the pain! The pain!" smiles evilly and states grimly, "Is gone."
Buffy stares at him speechless.
"Guess what I just found out?," he says, "Looks like I'm not as toothless as you thought, sweetheart."
Alarmed, Buffy says, "How?"
A sneering smile spreads across Spike's face, "Don't you get it? Don't you see?," he says, "You came back wrong."
Buffy stares at him in complete disbelief for a split second before being flooded with anger. She stalks forward and lets Spike hold another punch in the face. Spike staggers back but is laughing. Buffy draws back and hits him again. Not faltering a step she kicks him, driving him farther down the alley. Once again, she draws back to punch him, Spike grabs her arm and hits her in the face with his other hand. Buffy stumbles into a fence and turns around, Spike gets right into her face.
"It's a trick.," she says, "You did something to the chip, it's a trick."
"It's no trick.," he says, "It's not me it's you. Just you, in fact, that's the funny part." He punches her. "Cause you're the one that's changed." He hits her again. "That's why this doesn't hurt me."
Spike swings again but Buffy blocks his blow and shoves him backwards.
Spike grins at Buffy and says, "Came back a little less human than you were."
Buffy shakes her head. "You're wrong.," she says.
She kicks him so hard he flies back into an opposite wall, but immediately bounces back and comes back over to her.
"Then how come you're so spooked, luv?," he says, "And why can I," he punches her "do that?"
Buffy, panting, slowly looks at him, "You're wrong.," she says.
She hits him again, this time even harder. He falls only to get back up grinning. She draws back and punches him a second time, he goes down again but gets right back up again. She pushes him backwards into a nearby doorway, follows him up the stairs and grabs him. They crash through the door into the abandoned house. Spike pulls back and punches Buffy in the face, hard. She punches him twice, then shoves him back knocking him against a refrigerator. Buffy returns by kicking Spike into a gutted living room. She strides into the room after him and watches as he gets up.
Spike grins. "Oh, poor little lost girl.," he says.
Then he jumps up grabs a hold of the chandelier, swings forward and kicks Buffy in the face with both feet. She goes down. Spike walks over to Buffy, who gets up, grabs him and throws him against a staircase, smashing the banister to bits.
Buffy walking over to him says, "Me? I'm lost? Look at you, you idiot!"
Spike starts to get up.
She continues, " Poor Spikey. Can't be human, can't be a vampire. Where the hell do you fit in?"
Spike swings at her, Buffy ducks and punches him in the stomach, grabs him and throws him across the room again. He smashes into a fireplace.
She walks toward him again, "You job is to kill the slayer.," she says, " But all you can do is follow me around making moon eyes."
"I'm in love with you." Spike said.
Still advancing, Buffy says, " You're in love with pain. Admit it.
Spike gets up.
"You like me," she continues, "because you enjoy getting beat down. So really, who's screwed up?
"HELLO! Vampire! "Spike said."
He swings at her again, but she blocks and punches him. Spike grabs her and pulls her closer.
"I'm supposed to be treading on the dark side.," he said.
He throws her against a wall creating a big hole in the plaster. Spike goes over to her and throws her across the room again. Buffy lands on her back. Spike standing over her leans down and grabs her by the front lapels of her jacket.
"What's you're excuse?," he asks.
Buffy puts her hand over his face and shoves him away. Spike flies backward and takes a chunk out of a nearby wall, then staggers to his feet. Buffy leaps at him and they fly back toward the already broken staircase. Spike pins Buffy against the stairs and chuckles. She punches him. He punches her back then lifts her up to look in to her face.
"I wasn't planning on hurting you.," Spike smirked, "Much."
Buffy replies, "You haven't even come close to hurting me."
"Afraid to give me the chance?," he asks.
She breaks his hold and throws him against a wall. Another big hole appears where he hits, cracks run up the wall toward the ceiling. Buffy grabs Spike and pushes him against the wall.
Spike says, "You afraid I'm gonna..."
Buffy shuts him up by kissing him. They kiss passionately. Buffy shoves her hand threw the wall, creating a hole, in order to get her arm around Spike's neck.
Neither notice that pieces of the ceiling are separating from each other.
Still kissing Buffy and Spike move away from the wall. He slams her against another section of wall.
Above their heads cracks appear and widen, moving up toward the ceiling.
Their kissing is almost violent and Buffy shoves Spike away, follows him as he stumbles backward across the room. She pushes him again and continues following. Behind her a huge piece of the ceiling falls onto the spot where they were just standing. Buffy shoves Spike against another wall and resumes kissing him. He lifts her up against him and she wraps her legs around his waist. Buffy reaches down between their bodies and undoes Spikes zipper with a snatch, raises herself up and thrusts her body against Spike's. A moan escapes her lips. Spike looks shocked, they stare at each other for a moment. Buffy takes a breath and begins to move her body up and down, slowly, making and expression of pure pleasure. They resume kissing. Spike turns them around pushing Buffy up against the wall. She reaches one arm up and grabs the wall behind her to steady herself.
The chandelier falls from the ceiling and smashes on the floor. Pieces of the house continue to fall. The floorboards start breaking apart.
Buffy and Spike continue to make love. She leans her head back against the wall, gasping and panting, Spike rests his head on her chest and continues to thrust himself inside her.
The ceiling, walls, and floorboards continue to disintegrate.
Buffy leans forward to wrap her arms around Spike and they fall backward. The entire floor gives way and they fall through to the basement level, landing there in a huge cloud of debris, dust and bricks. Spike lands on his back with Buffy on top of him. They stare into each other's eyes, both panting...
"Spike! Spike!," someone was saying.
Spike opened his eyes, he was in Angel's office. Angel was in front of him calling his name.
"Bloody hell!," he said "What do you want?"
"You were sleeping, Spike.," Angel replied.
"And?," Spike asked sarcastically.
"And...," Angel continued, "you're suppose to be researching. There's a demon on the loose and here you are sleeping."
"Blah, blah, blah.," Spike says motioning with his hand. "You're one to talk. You spend hours on that damn phone talking to your little sweetie while I sit here and do all the work."
Angel smiles curtly and asks, "Do I sense a ting of jealously?"
"Jealously? Why the hell would I be jealous?," Spike retorted. An evil smile crossed his face, "You must remember, I've already had your sweetness."
Anger flushed Angel from head to toe.
"Oh and while we're on the subject... how do you intend to get around that whole curse thing?," Spike said. "I know you remember that teensy little problem. One night in the sack and presto you will be soulless."
"Buffy and I will get around that.," Angel said with his teeth clinched.
Spike stands up. "What are you gonna do until then?," he says as he walks toward the door, "The Buffy I remember throughly enjoys sex, or maybe, that's just sex with me."
Angel starts to reply but Spike walks out and slams the door.
