-Prologue-

"Buffy, open up!! Quick!!"

*Buffy runs down the stairs and opens the door only to meet one of her best friends, Willow*

"Come in, what's the matter?"

"Spike, he's on a rage! Don't ask me, but when he yells, "That bloody slayer will die!", I think its bad news!"

"Well, yeah, maybe. He might just be in one of his hissy fits."

"Not this time, he's a bit......well......out of it. As in, I think the chip...malfunctioned. I mean, he hit a human, and nothing happened to him. That's not good news for you, But I thought you'd like to know."

"Well, I guess I have the right to know, but do I have to deal with Mr. Big Bad now?"
