SCENE 16. DAY 4. EARLY MORNING.
Inside Buffy's room. She lay asleep after finishing her
essay report due for submission. She titled her essay
"Into the Future", an insight of what and where
she will be 5 years from now. Earlier that night, various
memories flew in her mind as she was writing that report.
Thoughts on her early life as a slayer, her encounters
with the supernatural, her past relationship with Angel,
her friends, foes, her family, her relationship with
Riley, and a dream of a normal life.
After working on the paper for a couple of hours, she
closed her eyes and began dreaming. Buffy finds herself
waking to a new day in a room she'd never been before. It
was a wallpaper covered room with huge windows draped
with soft, silk curtains that sways excitedly as a mild
wind blew from an evidently bright and charming outdoors.
A smell of fresh flowers raked inside the bedroom and a
burst of birds chirpping can be heard from afar. She
walked towards the window and looked at the clear blue
skies outside. There was a rustle out the backyard as if
there has been a jostling activities taking place. She
walked towards a dresser and found a small handwritten
note on top of a small box. She read the piece of note
that said "happy birthday my love". It was
obviously written by someone dear to her. It's my
birthday!, she thought and neatly placed the note
aside. She picked up the small box and carefully opened
it and found a locket-necklace shaped as a heart with
engravings "know in thy heart, thou art mine".
She excitedly tried the necklace on and she stepped out
of the room to look for the person whom this gift came
from.
Buffy heard someone talking downstairs, a child's voice
and a male voice. She slowly went to look for the voices,
when a small hand grabbed her skirt and said
"Mummy!" Buffy looked down. It was a small
child barely five, dressed in a white overalls. The child
had a blonde coiffed hair, radiant eyes, and captivating
smile. Buffy had never seen anyone so beautiful in her
life. A virtual replica of herself when she was still a
kid. Buffy got down on her knees and hugged the child and
kissed her.
"Oh my baby..." she said happily.
"Mummy, come see daddy," said the little girl
and dragged her towards the living room. A streamer which
read, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUFFY" jazzed up the
room. Her mom, Dawn, Giles, Willow, Xander, Tara, Anya
were there to greet her. Soon, one by one the guests
started to go to the rose-laden garden outside. The
little girl let go of Buffy's hand and went to get someone.
In the corner, a voice greeted her. Buffy looked to see
who it was.
It was Angel, holding another child who looked exactly
like her little girl, only this time it was a little boy.
"Mummy!" the little boy cried as it ran to her.
Buffy can't believe her eyes, she and Angel...and kids.
p a r
t t w o
SCENE 17. DAY 4. EARLY MORNING.
In Buffy's dream.
"Happy Birthday Buffy," Angel smiled.
"Angel, honey. Can you get--" interrupted
Cordelia. "Oh, Buffy! Happy Birthday!" she
kissed her.
Buffy, surprised to see Cordelia in the midst of these
and shocked to see that she is pregnant. Obviously, she
and Angel are together. Buffy gave an inquiring look at
both at them.
"Great kids!" said Angel. "Looks like they
got it from their father."
"Aren't they adorable?" said Cordelia.
"Twins. A boy and a girl. 'Guess you and the husband
are very proud of them," she smiled broadly.
"Yeah, me and --- their daddy, are very happy,"
Buffy anxiously said, still cannot believe what's
happening. Angel and Cordelia? Where did that come
from? I think I missed a memo, she thought.
Angel and Cordelia went to join the rest of the guests in
the porch. Buffy followed them with a stare. She's
surprised, yes. But nothing more than that. She didn't
feel any remorse or anger, only lingering surprise.
One of the children let go of Buffy's hand and ran behind
her. "Daddy!"
Buffy's attention suddenly shifted from Angel &
Cordelia to the person behind her. Her heart beat faster.
She didn't have time to turn and see who it was since he
swiftly covered Buffy's eyes from behind and gave her a
kiss in her neck.
It was the most passionate kiss she felt for a long, long
time. Buffy didn't even cared that she doesn't know the
identity of this person whom her children called
"Daddy". It's as if time stood still for them.
After all, whoever he is, he couldn't have been that
bad, right? Buffy thought; her heart still beating
faster. Afterwards, he whispered lovingly, "Happy
Birthday love...". Buffy recognized that voice.
She turned around to face him, hands no longer covering
her eyes. She gasped.
"Spike..."
SCENE 18. DAY 4. EARLY MORNING.
Spike's crypt. Spike semi-awake, is faced with a blurry
image of Drusilla. He blinked once, twice, then murmured,
"Slayer..."

SCENE 19. DAY 4. MIDDAY.
Buffy, Willow and Tara in the school campus sitting under
a tree, discussing the essay report that they submitted
to Professor Wick. Buffy wrote about what she, as a
normal individual, hoped will be 5 years into the future.
A successful career, a family, a healthy relationship,
among others. Indeed she's blessed with having everything
she wanted in life and could never asked for more. But
unlike any normal person, Buffy had a knowledge that
someday her dreams will not come true as recorded in
Slayer history. No known slayer live past her 25th
year. She'd always accepted it without second
thoughts, no matter what sacrifices comes with it.
She ended her essay by writing "Nothing is more
important, nothing is greater than fulfilling my destiny.
And if that means sacrificing a normal life, so be
it.""I
know that this is hard on you Buffy," said Willow.
"I know, I will be, if I knew what's to come. But
you shouldn't give up hope. It's what makes us
strong."
Tara, who's optimistic about it assured her, "Life
always finds a way, Buffy..."
SCENE 20. DAY 4. MIDDAY
Spike's crypt. Spike, now fully conscious, was surprised
to see the cloaked figure beside him. He jumped from his
bed and to his feet. He later recognized that it was
Drusilla. He was staggered by her sudden appearance in
Sunnydale, much less inside his crypt.
"Dru...!" he said. "What are you doing
here?"
Drusilla slowly approached him.
"How long was I unconcious?" Spike still
collecting his thoughts. He touched his right temple and
felt that he has been hit in the head. The wound was
still fresh.
Drusilla, without uttering a word, lifted the cloak
that's been hiding her face and most of her arms. A still
burnt-skin was visible in her face, her hands showed
several scars from a horrifying encounter with Angel in
Los Angeles. Most of her body parts was clearly
disfigured as he looked from a distance.
"What happened?" he said, disturbed by her
appearance.
"Angel... Angel did this to me..." she echoed.
SCENE 21. DAY 4. EARLY EVENING.
The Bronze. Buffy went to see Riley at the Bronze that
evening. She told him that she already decided about
their relationship and its future. She began with a
simple writing assignment at school. Buffy said, the
essay opened her eyes to what she must be and what she
must do to move on with her life. And that's what she's
doing --- moving on with her life. Buffy explained to him
that he musn't think that she's doing this to hurt him
nor does she want her decision to affect their
friendship.
"I know that it will be impossible for us to share a
single moment without ending up to what I basically am, a
slayer. And I don't want to go through that again, not
being able to be there for you and you not being able to
understand," she carefully chose her words.
"But Buffy, this time it's different..." said
Riley.
"I know. But life is hard enough without the
pressures of slayerness. I don't wanna be someone that
I'm not. And I'm not sure anymore if I'll be able to
share that part of my life with you," Buffy
explained.
"I understand," Riley sighed. "I kinda
figured it out somehow... before I asked you about us
getting back together. I kinda hope that everything will
be okay this time around, but I guess... I was
wrong," Riley hesitated, he considered his and
Buffy's feelings. "You're right Buffy, it's time to
move on. I just wished it turned out differently,"
he paused.
"So, are you okay?" Buffy asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Riley smiled and seemed
relief.
"What are your plans now?"
"I guess, I'll be leaving Sunnydale soon. I heard
Los Angeles is a good place to start."
Buffy smiled. Los Angeles is indeed a good place to start
anew. "Riley, thank you."
"No Buffy, thank you." They embraced.
He was about to leave, when he remembered something.
"You know what?" he chuckled. "I can't
help mentioning this," he hesitated, "...but I
thought all the while this is about a persistent vampire,
but I guess I was wrong."
"Riley, Angel is just a friend, you know that,"
said Buffy, wondering why he mentioned Angel.
"Yeah I know, but I'm not talking about
Angel..." he replied.
Buffy stared at him, confused.
SCENE 22. DAY 4. EARLY EVENING.
Inside Spike's crypt. Spike asked Drusilla what
transpired in Los Angeles, what exactly did Angel do to
her. She told him everything in detail with what happened
with her and Darla. Spike examined her burn marks but he
also noticed that she also recovered enormously from that
attack except for a few scars.
"And you came here because..." Spike asked
dryly.
"Mommy wants Angel to suffer for what he did to us!
And we want you to join me and Darla..!" cried
Drusilla.
"You want me to help?" Spike seemed
uninterested. So many things happened with his unlife
after she left him two years ago. As much as Spike wants
to join her in their vengeance dream team, he has more
important things to do in Sunnydale. He knew Drusilla
will not come to him if it we'rent important, but things
have changed between them. He, for one, is incapacitated
to kill.
"You must have forgotten Dru, that I have this
little inconvenience in my nuggin'..."
Spike explained. "Oh yeah, I don't think you know,
since you don't bloody care for me anyway!" he said
sarcastically. After a moment or two, he calmly said.
"Anyways, what's in it for me? Beside the fact that
I got to kill your sire?"
Spike is visually directing his anger and frustration on
her, the chip and Angel, but Drusilla sensed otherwise.
"You haven't got rid of the girl, have you
Spike?" she said.
"I don't know what you're talking about," he
said trying to hide his emotions.
"Her power over you is much greater than before...
you're drowning in her." Dru looked at him with
interest, "You're ... in love with the
Slayer..."

SCENE 23. DAY 5. LATE AFTERNOON.
The Magic Shop the following day. Buffy, Giles, and
Scoobies in a meeting because of the unprecedented rise
of vampire population in Sunnydale. It was documented in
several local news that strange attacks were reported
throughout Sunnydale. Hospitals are receving more and
more cases of unexplained neck bites on its patients,
sudden fear of light, and blood loss. Majority of those
patients disappeared within a few hours of admission and
never to be seen again.
Giles showed Buffy and the Scoobies the pattern of
vampire attacks within the last few weeks. It started
with a bunch of certain individuals facinated with Vampiroidism and indulged themselves with a
daily trip to a vampire nest for blood sucking. Next were
numerous police reports of missing persons within the
town limits, the latest of which were a group of
out-of-towners.
Giles presented the facts. "Ideas anyone?" he
looked across the table at everybody, including Buffy,
who is in deep thoughts.
"I don't really think I've known much these last few
weeks since I'm kinda busy with work here at the
shop," said Anya.
"I agree with you Anya," replied Xander.
"You might consider not thinking much about money
and more about people," he sniffed.
"Okay, you two. Are you guys having a spat?"
said Willow.
"No," said Anya, "It's just our way of
expressing ourselves...verbally."
"Yeah, Anya and I thought that it could add spice to
our relationship," Xander agreed. "You know,
banter brings out our inner frustrations, and we see to
it that it gets satisfied at the end of the day."
Willow gave them a dissatisfied grin.
Giles interrupted their conversation. "Does anybody
had any suspicions about these sudden vampire
explosion?"
"I have," said Buffy, staring intently at the
newspaper.
Everybody looked at her. Buffy's expressionless,
"Spike warned me about a gang of vampires that's
after me...us," her brow moved closer.
Buffy quickly placed her hand across her temple and drew
a deep breath.
"Buffy, are you alright?" asked Giles worried.
She looked at Giles. "I never did take him
seriously..."
SCENE 24. DAY 5. EARLY EVENING.
Inside a mausoleum near the edge of the cementery, a plan
to attack the Slayer were being ensued by a vampire that
leads the group. They still wanted to get rid of the
bleached vampire but he's currently under the protection
of their head sire. "Sooner or later, Spike will go
out and stray away from Drusilla," it spoke.
"Then we will get our chance."
A boisterous agreement can be heard inside the mausoleum.
"In the meantime, let us focus our attention to the
one who made our unlives miserable..."
Everyone turned their attention to Harmony.
"Tonight, we will deliver the Slayer..." it
said. Harmony made a semi-evil grin.
SCENE 25. DAY 5. EARLY EVENING.
Inside Spike's crypt. Spike continually denied everything
that Drusilla said. "That's simply untrue..."
"Tell me baby, will you love her still if I told you
that after tonight, she won't be thinking of you
anymore?"
"What are you talking about?" Spike furiously
asked.
"Somebody's getting killed tonight, Spike..."
said Dru giddily. "Will you help me now my
love?"
"You are one sick bitch!" said Spike shaking
his head.
"Goody!" Drusilla yelped.
Spike turned to leave to find Buffy. "Spike, you do want
her to live longer don't you..?"
SCENE 26. DAY 5. EVENING.
Harmony on her way to Spike's crypt to tell him that the
plan is going to be carried-out soon. She entered the
crypt.
"Spike, our friends are now on their way to kill the
Slayer. Isn't that exciting? It won't be long until
-" she noticed the figure behind her. "Who are
you? Spikey, who's this creepy old witch?"
"Her name is Drusilla," he answered.
"Oh, Dorkus..!" Harmony looked at Drusilla from
head to toe.
"Shut-up Harmony!" said Spike.
Drusilla glared at her. "You are an insignificant
factor in this plot. Why don't you leave us alone?"
"Hey, I'm important to this story! I'm the one to
kill the Slayer." Harmony proudly said.
"Besides, this is our love nest. You're the one who
should leave!"
"Harm..." warned Spike.
"You are one annoying little bint. Spike, why don't
you send her away before I break her neck?" said
Drusilla bored with Harmony.
"Hey, watch your mouth, y-you barbequed has been!
You have no control over here, this is our turf. Why
don't you go back where you came from?!" Harmony
said challenging her. "Sweetie, I don't like her
face. Send her away..."
"For the last time Harmony, shut your bloody face or
I will personally break your neck!" Spike said
angrily.
"Fine! I had it with you!" said Harmony,
obviously pissed off. "Go back to your looney
Dorkus! Just don't come running back to me after she
dumps you again..!" Harmony left.
"Now Dru, what's this all about the Slayer living
longer?" he asked.

SCENE 27. DAY 5.
EVENING.
Buffy decided to have a talk with Spike to know more
about this attack and to confront him about her recent
discovery of his hots for her. She tried to
remember when this whole thing started. She, for one
somewhat knew of the fact during the time when he told
her about the two Slayers and how they were only dancing.
Spike tried to kiss her that night in the alley, but her
seething emotions recognized that as a threat. That same
evening, he even attempted to shoot her; only it didn't
matter much to her for she felt she did have
that death wish. Buffy had flashes about encounters
following that day and even before that; Spike hiding by
the stalker tree and the unexplained cigarette butts
beside it, Spike stealing her pictures and holding out
his hand during the queller demon, his revelation to
Riley, his numerous attempts to please her, and him
asking her out only a few days ago.
And lately, she's been having random thoughts of him, not
to mention the strange dreams of Spike and the kids. What
the hell did those dreams meant? she thought. Buffy
wanted to know, she needed to know.
SCENE 28. DAY 5. EVENING.
Spike's Crypt. Drusilla never gave him a straight answer
even after he literally threatened her.
"Dru, I want some answers," demanded Spike.
Drusilla, unfazed with his threats, coyly tempted him
about her secret... only if he comes back with her to Los
Angeles and help fight Angel. "You know you want to,
lover..." she giggled.
Spike pinned her against the wall, his hand close to her
neck. "Dru, I may have this chip in my head, but it
doesn't mean I can't hurt you. Now, tell me... what is
it?" he asked impatiently.
Drusilla refused to answer him but knowing that he'll
never let her get away with it, she revealed its identity
but not its location. She mentioned that the only thing
that kept her alive after Angel literally torched her and
Darla was an amulet she acquired while living in
South America which said to have healing powers, and
whoever have possession of it will certainly means long
life.
Spike searched for her neck but didn't find any amulet.
He asked her again where is it but to no avail. Finally,
Drusilla insisted that she left it with Darla. Spike let
her go and hurriedly left to find Buffy.
SCENE 29. DAY 5. EVENING.
Buffy is walking along the edge of the cemetery walls
when she found herself faced with a number of vampires
ahead of her. She stopped and examined that they are
slowly gathering around her. More vampires started to
circle her from the back. She didn't have any weapons
with her except for a single stake that she's been
keeping with her at all times, but nevertheless Buffy was
not the least intimidated.
The leader of the pack was the first to speak, "We
meet again, Slayer..."
p a r
t s i x
SCENE 30. DAY 5. LATE EVENING.
Two vampires approached Buffy simultaneous with a couple
more at her back. Buffy readied herself to attack. Not
far from where she is, Spike shouted to its leader,
"Hey, nobody touches the Slayer!... but me!"
Spike walked pass the vampires who gathered around Buffy.
He joined her in the center of the crowd and said
"Hi Buffy..." Buffy gave her a confused, angry
look but he instead turned to its leader and acknowledged
him.
"Now, now. Look mate, you don't want the Slayer to
be angry, do you?" Spike asked, but nobody seems to
care on what he has to say. "Why don't you boys and
girls gather yourselves up and let's call it the
night?" he smirked.
The mob dismissed him and stared intently at both him and
Buffy. "We're here to feast on the Slayer Spike, and
now that you're here... we might as well include you in
the menu!"
Spike and Buffy looked at each other, and without further
notice, they faced their enemies and started to fight.
Buffy kicked the first vampire from her back and sent it
flying. Another one rushed to her and throws in a punch
but misses. Spike grabbed the two vampires closed to him
and slammed their heads together. He then punched one in
front of him that sent it hitting the ground.
"There's too many of them Buffy, if ever we don't
get out of this, I just want you to know that...
that..."
"Spike," Buffy cut him off, "We will make
it!"
"I know I can count on your power bit," he
grinned.
More vampires surrounded them. Someone at Buffy's back
grabbed her throat and throws her against the cementary
wall. Buffy fell. Spike, who similarly get punched in the
face stumbled right in front of her.
"Are you okay, Buffy?" he asked, obviously
concerned. Buffy got up and grabbed her stake. She
delivered a massive kick in the stomach to another
vampire approaching her and put a stake in it. She
replied back, "Spike, I know I doubted you most of
the time and didn't listen much. I was wrong to do
that..."
Surprised with what she said, Spike inadvertently got
slammed by another vicious vampire. He turned and spin
kicked it right in its stomach. He punched the next
vampire then another and threw it towards Buffy who
staked it. "I always knew you are quite a hard
sell," he winked at her.
"Spike, look out!" Buffy shouted. A vampire
leaped behind Spike but he blocked it successfully. He
grabbed its head and slammed it against the wall leaving
it unconscious. Buffy in turn, staked it immediately.
Spike sees Drusilla from a distance, observing. She saw
how Spike and Buffy fight together like clockwork.
Drusilla sensed that she already lost Spike to the Slayer
for good, and decided to leave town and join Darla in Los
Angeles to fight Angel. Spike remembered the amulet. He
wanted to go after her but he and Buffy are still faced
with hoards of vampires. Drusilla left.
Buffy finished off another vampire when she mentioned
Riley. "Riley left today!" she informed Spike
while crashing the chest of another enemy. Again, he's
distracted and was struck by a vampire in his back. He
faced his opponent, kicked its stomach, sending it to its
knees. He then break the vampire's neck.
"Tell me, what did you tell Riley?" Buffy
staked the last vampire she's fighting. She faced Spike
who's still fighting one last vampire on sight. It took
him a couple of punches before shattering its face and
redirecting it to Buffy for a stake.
"Huh?" he replied, facing Buffy.
"Tell me the truth Spike," she demanded.
"The truth?" he asked. "The truth is...
I'm just... I- okay, I admit it! I have a thing
for you! Satisfied?"
Buffy in an akimbo, looked intently at him, she's not
even smiling. She draws her stake again and plunged the
vampire ahead.
Spike shouted, "Bloody hell..!"
p a r
t s e v
e n
SCENE 31. DAY 5. LATE EVENING.
A vampire ready to strike Spike at the back, exploded.
"Pft!!! I thought you were gonna...stake me..!"
he complained.
"No Spike, if I were stake you, I shouldn't have
done it years ago," Buffy said seriously.
Spike smiled. He felt embarrassed that he had to admit
his feelings in an awkward situation. It could've sounded
better, not him screaming and such. What's more, she had
to find out about it through Riley;that sodding
bastard!, he thought. But he had to admit it to
himself that words are his enemy at this moment. He's not
sure what to say to her, I admit it, I have a thing
for you? that's not the most convincing confession
of love by any standards. It's now or never. He'd
better come up with a better line, he thought. Up to
this moment, there was no clear evidence that she felt
anything remotely for him. But this could be a start.
"Look, I know I've been hard on you eventhough you
helped me on several occasions," Buffy said as
honestly as possible, "and I know I'm not the the
best person to say this, but I appreciate all the help
and I shouldn't have judged you in the first place."
"Buffy, I've discovered something..." Spike
started to speak.
Bloody hell! Not exactly the words he wanted to say, but
a good misdirection on his part, since he doesn't want to
look like a fool... again. He wanted to take his time,
calm her down after this sudden revelation. Any abrupt
confession of one's feelings might ruin his chances all
together. He started to talk about a knowledge that he
learned from Drusilla.
"...something that could extend a Slayer's life,
your life." He said excitedly.
Not clearly listening to Spike, Buffy continued without
wanting to stop, "I mean, I've always labelled you
as an enemy... even though I know you're not bad anymore.
A-And as much as I want you, ...t-to---to---. All I'm
saying is..."
Spike suddenly realized what was going on. He stepped
closer and nervously held her shoulders. "Buffy...
do you know what this means?" he asked.
"It means..." Buffy stopped. There's a sorrow
in her eyes as she spoke. "It means ... that you're
still a vampire ... and I'm still a slayer," she
said nervously. "And that's all we can ever be.
Nothing more."
Yet, the moment he touched her, Buffy felt an electricity
that she never felt in a long time. She felt magic in his
touch as she looked at him, confused and alarmed. Her
heart leaped.
 / soon my body is dust
/
/ soon my my soul is no
more /
/ i will love you, love
you /
They both fell silent. Spike knew what she meant. Nothing
more can come between them. He never expected that a
start of something good could end up so quickly. There
was this little dream that he had about him and Buffy and
what could have been. He, taking care of her and she,
showing him how to be loved again. What happens now, he
didn't know. Take his chances and still pursue her? Get
the hell out of Sunnydale and follow Dru? Seek an amulet?
Finally, Spike decided not to force himself to Buffy,
instead he will find a way to gain her respect and
hopefully her love. He slowly lifted his hands away from
her and started to step backwards. He has a new mission
in his unlife, to pursue the thing that could help Buffy
prolong her life. The mere idea that he could at least do
something for her savored in his thoughts.
"I have to go..." Spike said quietly and turned
to walk away.
/ soon the sun starts
to cry /
/ and the moon turns to
rust /
/ i will love you, love
you /
"Spike..?!" Buffy called out. There was
something in his voice and Buffy recognized it. She had a
feeling that this is the last time they will see each
other. "You're leaving..???" Silence has
broken. The thought of him leaving made her upset.
Spike turned back with hope in his eyes after hearing
what Buffy had just said. It's not mere words, it's the
way she called out to him. He knows there is something
more beyond her words than she is willing to admit. Spike
walked towards her and looked at her in his usual sideway
glance; softly touching her long hair starting from the
corner of her right eyebrow, feeling, caressing her
cheeks and to her soft lips. He dreamt this moment ever
since he can remember.
Buffy knew they can never belong, yet she doesn't want
him to stop. Instead, she gazed deep into his blue eyes
and looked for answers.
/ but i need to know /
/ will you stay for all
time /
/ forever and today /
As much as he wished this moment never ends, he realized
that there is no such thing as forever, and that this isn't
the right time. He gave her a little smile and said
"You will be alright, Slayer... I promise."
They both knew at that moment, things will never be the
same between them. Trusting that his feelings for her is
strong enough even if he's gone, Spike gently kissed her
in the forehead which seemed to last for eternity.
/ and i'll give my
heart /
/ to the end of all
time /
/ forever and today /
Time stood still for Buffy and Spike. She held his hand
in hers as long as she can until Spike finally let go. He
took one final look at her, trying to memorize every
detail of how this moment came to pass ... and then for a
second or two, Spike ran off. He doesn't know where his
journey will lead him... but as long as there is hope for
him and Buffy, he will definitely live in that dream.
/ and i need to know /
/ will you stay for all
time /
/ forever and today /
Buffy, now alone, remembered the dream she had the night
before. A necklace engraved with words of love.
"...Know in your heart, you are mine..." she
whispered softly.
/ then i'll give my
heart /
/ to the end of all
time /
/ forever and today /
She didn't go back to her house at once, instead Buffy
finds herself inside Spike's crypt. She remembered the
first time he went to this place, she was looking for
answers. Answers for what, she cannot recall. All she
knows is that everytime she went to visit him, she gets a
kick of punching Spike's nose. Buffy smiled.
/ till the storms fill
my eyes /
/ and we touch the last
time /
She approached the single chair in the middle of the
room, Spike's chair, she sat for a moment, imagining how
it was to live in an old and dank place with no one to
talk to. Well, there's the telly for one. Pfft. He
loves to watch television, Buffy thought, as she
accidentally stepped into something. She reached out for
it under Spike's chair. It's... a doll... a doll of
her..? Buffy came to a full realization of how much she
