Disclaimer: Hello, I am not talented enough to think up 7 seasons! I surely do not own Buffy, and do not wish to be known as the stealer of Buffy!

Willow Rosenberg was surprised greatly as she looked around her apartment and found a small box. She opened it carefully and in it she found a note. It read:

Willow,

There is so much I want to tell you, but first I must give you your present. It didn't cost me much, but it is from the heart! I know you will never love me, but I wished to express my feelings to you, before it is too late. I will visit you tonight and whether you except me, or drive me away I will be there for you as long as you need me.

She was stunned, as she looked deeper into the box, and found a ring. It wasn't special and it didn't look that pretty, but it brought her to tears in seconds. The ring had on it engraved: Willow Goddess of Love. She searched for any indication of who this mysterious person was that sent her this, but she would just have to wait, for he left her nothing.

The time passed by slowly, until the clock struck 10:00 P.M and she rushed to answer the door. She almost fainted at the person she saw standing in front of her. "Hey Pet," he smiled and asked if he could come in, she nodded slowly and closed the door behind him. "Wh, what are you doing here? Are you the one that sent me that stuff?" He saw the ring on her finger, and asked, "Who was that from?" She sighed, she had thought it was him, but he obviously didn't know what she was talking about.

Spike watched every movement she made and kept admiring everything about her. How can I tell her? he thought as he went to light a cigarette. "I am sorry, but there is no smoking in here." He smiled, and walked outside. "Are you leaving?" She asked hurriedly. "No, Red I am going to smoke!" she closed the door. She blushed, I just made a fool of myself She decided that she would make some cookie for her guest, and so she began.

Meanwhile outside Spike was thinking not so good things about Willow. I would like to jump her then. No, Spike that is wrong don't think about that kind of stuff. He had finished and walked back into the apartment, "What are you cooking there, Red?" She smiled widely as she replied, "Cookies, do you want to try one?" He took one in his hand , "Now those are hot Spike!" She warned him. He lifted up his hand and said, before he took a bite, "Heat doesn't affect me, Pumpkin." Then he placed it n his mouth, and immediately spit it out again. "Er, just a little hot for my taste." He turned around and fanned his tongue. Willow laughed heartily and stuck a whole cookie in her mouth, she didn't even flinch. "You must have got a cold one!" he stated. "NO I didn't!" Her words were muffled due to the cookie, and crumbs flew out of her mouth as she tried to explain things to Spike.

They were laughing for quite some time, till Willow noticed what time it was. "You better get home, it will be dawn soon." He just smiled, "Willow you're the goddess of Love," Willow's heart skipped a beat as she looked into his piercing blue eyes, but before she could say anything he asked, "Did you like the gift?" She nodded her head, and eyes looked as if they said, 'Kiss me!' And that is exactly what he did, one long kiss. It was passionate, and Willow smiled and said, "You'll like mine even better." The two kissed once again, and Willow knew she would never be lonely again.
