Aaron: *Knocks on crypt door* hey spike you home?
Spike: Yeah. Come in, mate.
Spike: How'd the date go?
Aaron: *Opens the door and he looks like hell warmed over* didn't wake you up did I
Spike:*shakes head* Man, you don't look too good... Flu takin' its toll, huh?
Aaron: *nods* that and Dawn
Spike: Oh? What happened?
Aaron: *chuckles then coughs* had me up all night talking...
Spike: *chuckles* I know the feelin'. How was the movie?
Aaron: *shrugs* good choice for a date....
Spike: Just tryin' to help. So, what'd you two talk about?
Aaron: *rolls eyes* you name it we talked bout it...but any topic other then you i had to bring up
Spike:*winces* Man, I'm really sorry. Dunno why she's so interested in me...
Spike :Did I tell you what happened last night?
Spike :We couldn't post on ff.net.... for one thing. *chuckles*
Aaron: *coughs a few times* no....oh really
Spike :Yeah... You want some cough medicine? I think I've got some that works for vamps.
Aaron: *shakes head8 no I'm fine
Spike:*concerned* you sure?
Aaron: *nods* yea...thanks though
Spike: *shrugs* Okay. Fine. But, here's what I wanted to tell you.
Spike: Dawn can officially call me her big brother now.
Spike:*grins* I claimed Buffy last night. We're married.
Aaron: *cocks an eye brow* so you saying ....congrats Spike
Spike:*grins happily* Yeah... I gave her mum's ring, too.
Spike: The diamond one with the emeralds and sapphires around it. I think I showed it to you once.
Aaron: *nods* good...yea was a nice ring
Spike *smiles, settling back in his chair* She was cryin' when I gave it to her... from bein' happy.
Spike :Damn near set me off, too.
Spike: That would just have been embarrassin'.
Aaron: *chuckles* i understand what you mean* gets up and takes off outside returns a few moments later and wipes his mouth on his sleeve*
Spike: Are you SURE about the medicine, mate?
Spike: I've got stuff for almost anything imaginable.
Aaron: *grunts* yea...I'll take something
Spike: *fishes around in a sarcophagus, then pulls out a small bottle* Here. Just drink what's left. Should clear that up in no time.
Aaron: *nods and downs it* thanks*looks at the bottle*what is this
Spike: *shrugs* Just some stuff. It won't hurt you. I've taken it before. Tastes awful, but it'll make you feel better.
Aaron: *chuckles* ok...*rubs the back of his neck* the reason i look so bad right now is i was up all day reading bout demon types and i found out something interesting
Spike: Oh? What... You know, I don't' know if I want you to tell me. *chuckles* your news has never really been good.
Aaron: *grins* this one is...today being the harvest and all we could have been outside...without the ring
Spike: *chuckles* Oh really?
Aaron: *nods* and a few other things but ....it is to late for those
Spike: That explains what I realized a few minutes ago. I helped Tiger take out the trash, and didn't realize till I got back inside that I wasn't wearin' it.
Spike: I just figured I was lucky, or that it was cloudier than I thought.
Spike: don't' really care if it's too late... What other things?
Aaron: *lays back* not dealing with the harvest...Tara was a demon...your chip for some reason saw her as a human
Spike: *raises eyebrow* Really...
Aaron: *nods* yea
Spike: So... this means what?
Aaron: * frowns*If she wants to she can be back with us
Spike: So... you're sayin' that she's not comin' back, cause she doesn't want to?
Aaron: *frowns more* yea....that's it
Spike: Is there any possibility that she's where Buffy was?
Spike: Cause, from what she's told me... I wouldn't want to leave there, either.
Aaron: *shrugs* don't know.....but if she is i would not come back either
Spike: *small sigh* She could be scared of Red.
Spike: Hell, *I'M* scared of her.
Aaron: *growls lightly* I know...think every one 'cept the whelp is
Spike: *small head shake* Buffy's not scared of her... She's kinda scared that she might hurt ME, but not really scared of her.
Aaron: *grunts* ok what two people out of billions are not scared of her
Spike: Twice in the last week, the witch has pinned me against the counter in the kitchen and flashed those black eyes at me...
Aaron: *growls* should have seen the look she gave me when i pick Dawn up last night
Spike: Once after Dru hurt Buffy... and she thought it was me. And another time when I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Spike: I know. She stormed out right after that.
Spike: I was hiding in the basement.
Spike: When I came out, Buffy was on the phone yelling at Harris.
Aaron: *chuckles* not sure who was more pissed her or Harris
Aaron: *grins* that was cause of me
Spike: *chuckles* She said she was seriously considerin' stakin' him.
Spike: I know. She told me that he was freakin' out over you takin' Bit out... But we really REALLY needed her out of the house that night.
Spike: I hope the whelp didn't give you a hard time when you brought her back.
Aaron: *laughs* he tried to but dawn bout ripped his head off
Spike: *laughs* I heard him in the kitchen this mornin', talkin' to Red. Was sayin' somethin' about the Summers' havin' a fatal attraction for the souled undead.
Aaron: *shakes his head* and he does for weird demons....mummy,bug girl, Anya, Cordy
Spike: *snickers*
Spike: Cordy wasn't a demon till last year. But Cheerleader... close enough.
Aaron: *shudders*to peppy
Spike: *winces* Too much like Harm.
Aaron: *grunts* what did you ever see in her?
Spike: I was desperate, and really lonely.
Spike: And drunk.
Spike: Did I mention drunk?
Aaron: *chuckles* no way you could be that drunk.....I mean come on it was Harmony
Spike: *sighs* She cared about me. In her own twisted little way, she cared. I needed that.
Aaron: *shrugs* ok I'll give you that but still....ewww
Spike: *nods* Yeah. S'how I feel now... *chuckles* Hell, I had to have her wear one of the Slayer's sweaters just so that I could stand to be near her.
Spike: Just kept my eyes closed and concentrated on the scent.
Aaron: *shakes head* that must have been rock bottom
Spike: *sighs deeply, sinking into his chair* Yeah. But, as I have done in the past, I hit rock bottom and bounced. Now look where I am.
Aaron: *nods* yea..the top of the top
Spike: *grins* Now, if only Buffy were around, I'd feel better. *chuckles* haven't seen her since this mornin'.
Spike: I think I wore her out.
Spike: Hell. I was asleep till about an hour ago.
Aaron: *shakes head* ok I'm going to go with dawn on this and say if you keep talk bout last night I'll need therapy
Spike: *laughs*
Spike: I'd love to see the therapist who'd take you, mate.
Aaron: *growls playfully* hey...wait good point...
Spike: *chuckles* Hell, that goes for me, too.
Spike: We'd probably have to pay by the minute just to keep the person in the room.
Aaron: *laughs * think bout the shrink Harris would need
Spike: He'd be payin' by the second! *laughs*
Aaron: *shakes his head* it would take a whole team to figure him out
Spike: *snorts* If you ask me, the Initiative shoulda grabbed HIM.
Aaron: *nods* yea....he is the one the should have tested
Spike: *mutters about cattle prods and lack of anesthetic*
Aaron: *grunts* like to shove one of those cattle prods ...well never mind but it would not be pretty
Spike: *small shudder, pulls his legs up onto the chair with him, curling up a little* Subject change... really really need a subject change...
Aaron: *growls* don't blame me you brought it up....
Spike: *shakes head slowly* I know... really... but that's right up there with several other things I want to forget and can't... I don't know why I even said anything.
Aaron: *shrugs* me either....so did Buffy return the claim?
Spike: *small smile* She bit me, if that's what you mean. Several times.
Aaron: *groans* yes that's what i meant and forget I ever asked.
Spike: *chuckles, rolls up his shirt a little, showing a healing bite just above the belly button* Caught me off guard here.
Aaron: *covers face with a pillow* therapy oh the therapy
Spike: *laughs hard* Oh... the look on your face...
Aaron: *growls and throws the pillow at him* your more sadistical then peaches
Spike: *keeps laughing, swatting the pillow away, sinking into the chair* that... could be taken.. as a complement, you know!
Aaron: *shakes his head* yea if you were evil or the big bad...but your the big tickle bad
Spike: *growls playfully* Watch it mate, that could be taken as a challenge.
Aaron: *cocks and eye brow and smirks* oh really
Spike: *chuckles* Yeah. You're practically asking' for me to pounce ya, mate.
Aaron: *growls playfully* I would say bring it on but Adam has to eat dinner soon" mumbles about human eating habits*
Spike: *snorts, then chuckles* Well, too bad. I would've won anyway.
Aaron: *grunts* yea right...all i would have had to do is get your ribbs and it would have been over
Spike: *snorts* Yeah right. I have self control.
Aaron: *chuckles* yea sure you do
Spike: *play growls again* Headin' down that road again, mate. You're all talk and no action.
Aaron: *cracks his neck* how bout a truce...for now only
Spike: *grins* Alright, truce. Limited truce. Next time you're gettin' it.
Aaron: *rolls eyes* we'll see about that
Spike: *snorts* Aw, get outta here before I call it off early.
Aaron: *groans* yea yea*gets up and walks to the door* i'll be back in a while
Spike: *waves* See you 'round, mate.
