Spike grinned wickedly. This would be the perfect day to do what he had been waiting for.

"Say Rupes, we've been getting a long as of late and I was just thinking, since it's a holiday and all-." He was cut off.

"No."

"But it'll be funny!" Giles as he was affectionately known as to his children frowned. He had to admit it would be quite funny. He shook his head to clear the ridiculous thoughts.

"Absolutely not, Spike!" he said adamantly. The 120+ vampire pouted, he actually pouted. He was pouted and Giles and my God was he actually starting to tear up? "Spike I- I wont fall for your uh… err… wily tricks." Spike only continued to pout as he spoke.

"But Rupes, I hardly…" he paused and gave a pathetic whimper, "get to have any jollies any more. No scaring the kiddies, and none of that grr arg!" he gave a sniffle.

"Vampire's cannot cry so stop that! It's not affected me, stop it this instant." Giles said knowing that in an instant he would agree to the chipped vampires half cracked plan. When Spike gave him another pathetic look he caved in. "Alright but if Buffy stakes you you're on your own." He sighed out. The vampire let another wicked grin slide across his face.

"Right! To work then!" he sang out. He flounced off to search for his pig's blood. Ah! There it was. He took out a paint brush and a kit he had "brought" from a local merchant. As he prepared the old man he kept chortling to himself. Hopefully the gang would respond to Ripper's urgent call he would make in a few minutes. Giles was sighed the whole time and kept checking Spike's progress in a mirror.

"That doesn't look right." He commented. Spike glowered at him.

"Hey! Who's the vampire here? I'll decide if it looks right and cor it looks beautiful." For a second Spike's eyes went misty. But that was just for a second. He went to work on Giles' face making it paler then normal and when the final product was shown to Giles he stared startled.

"May god Spike, you could work as a make-up artist at movies sets, this is… this is amazing!" Giles praised Spike and the vampire beamed.

"I did, for awhile, when there was a big surge in monster movies, and again in past few years, pretending that I was my son. It helped with money in a legitimate way… 'cept I go thrown in jail for tax evasion… bloody Immortal. Ever go to Rome watch out for the Smarmy Bastard. Keep Buffy away from him, he'll probably seduce her within minutes. Always bloody happens…" he grunted out. Giles was hardly paying attention to him while he tried to remember Willow and Buffy's number to their dorm. Spike was attaching an object to his neck and wrists to cover his pulse so he would seem dead.

"Buffy!" Giles said in a suddenly strangled and fearful voice, "Bring weapons to my house… quick! It's Sp-." He was caught off by Spike.

"I'm gonna tear you to shreds Ripper!" Spike growled out menacingly. Giles gave a squeal and slammed the phone down. Spike and Giles grinned at each other. While Spike painted blood around his mouth and drank his pigs blood. Seconds before Buffy burst through the door, Giles laid down perfectly still with his eyes wide open in shock. Spike put on the pretense of torture and smirked.

Buffy burst through the door with a stake in her hand. She dropped it and ran toward Giles.

"Oh my god…" she whispered desperately trying to find a pulse she found none. "You'll pay Spike!" She screamed as she began to chase him around the house. Pretty soon she caught up with him and was about to stake him When Giles shot up.

"April Fools!" Giles yelled and Buffy jumped.

"W-what?" she asked glancing around. "Giles! You're alive!" she tossed her arms around him and cried.

"It was only a joke." Spike said. Buffy slammed her fist into his face. He grunted.

"Ow!" he paused for a second and began licking up the blood, while grinning at the disgusted Buffy.

"Can we play this trick on the Whelp?"

"Sure." Giles said at the same time as Buffy said no. Spike sighed.

"Fine, whatever. Can I tell him I sold all of his crap for some money, anyone want to lend my a thousand bucks and couple of kittens?" Buffy whacked him on his head and he gave her a hurt look.

"Fine." She sighed out he gave a wicked grin.

"Good because I also have a couple of older toys from a shop that I burned and broke." He grinned wickedly again and grabbed his blanket. Covering himself he turned. "Expect a call sometime tonight." He flounced out the door and down a sewer.

Around eight in the evening, about five minutes after an outraged shriek was heard from the Harris house (which was quite normal so the neighbors figured that Jessica and Anthony Harris were getting into it again) Buffy sighed and reached for her ringing phone.

"Hello?"

"Buffy! You have to come quick! You need to stake Spike, he's done an evil and horrible thing!"

"What has he done?" she asked tiredly.

"He's sold my comic stuff and ruined some of my action figures!"

"Try looking around." She growled out and slammed down the phone.

If someone were to look through the windows to the basement of the Harris house they would see a blonde haired man being tied up by the Harris's son. This would have been quite odd. But being from Sunnydale they probably would have chalked it up to the water, or that odd laryngitis epidemic.

A/N: I didn't have the overwhelming urge to write a fic until today but now here I am writing one. Anyone who actually likes Detour in the Roadway sorry for the no show of the newest chapter, my sister's boyfriend "accidentally" hooked up the floppy disk drive wrong when he fixed it… yet again! So until he fixes it again which should be this weekend, if I'm lucky, Detour will be on a hiatus until I get a disk drive and internet connection on my PC in my room. Also this might turn into a series Bloke might also get a series if I can find a proper book. Next chapter should be up soon in that one.
