-1Summary:I wrote this story about 6 years ago and completely forgot about it until I found it while I was cleaning out my room. It's in script format, but if people like what I have so far I'll rewrite it in normal format and continue the story. The first 9 chapters are the pre-written chapters. All are handwritten so I'm going to try to type them up as quickly as possible. Please Review!

Chapter 1: Situations and Consequences

Buffy::She sits on her bed looking out of her window. ::

Dawn::She watches her sister from the doorway, then proceeds to stutter before speaking. :: B…Buffy?

Buffy::She glances towards the doorway, her eyes falling upon her younger sister. ::

What's wrong?

Dawn:: Is Mom going to be OK?

Buffy:: She knows she can't lie, so she gives Dawn her most honest answer. :: I don't

know.

Dawn::We have to find a cure.

Buffy::We will.

Dawn::Her voice cracks. :: I don't want her to die.

Buffy::Oh god Dawn…come here. ::She stretches out her arms, gesturing her sister over to her side. ::

Dawn::She walks over and sits next to Buffy. She then proceeds to rest her head upon her

sister's shoulder. ::

Buffy::It'll be OK. We'll get through this together, which reminds me, Dad wants us to

stay with him until this whole ordeal is finished.

Dawn::Dad? He's in Los Angeles Buffy.

Buffy::I know, but just trust me OK?

Dawn::Fine… :: She would say in a flat tone. ::

Buffy::We'll leave tomorrow. I have something to do first, you stay here. :: She stands up

and walks out of the bedroom, continuing down the steps and out the front door

of 1630 Revello Drive.:: Spike:: She shouted. ::

Spike::He emerges from the shadows, his eyes fixated on the slayer. :: So, how did she

take it?

Buffy:: We're leaving tomorrow.

Spike::We? I thought you were just sending the twit up to Pops.

Buffy::I can't just leave her unguarded Spike…

Spike:: So I guess you haven't considered the possibilities of seeing the bloody poofter himself.

Buffy::Spike…just because we have some thing going on with us that sometimes

involves a lack of clothing does not mean that I have to rearrange my plans.

Spike:: Just stop.

Buffy::What do you mean?

Spike::Just bloody stop! Your words are murder to my ears.

Buffy:: OK fine. I'm sorry Spike. Apology accepted?

Spike::Apology rejected. Ever heard of the phrase 'kiss and make up':: He then

flashes her a grin. ::

Buffy::She rolls her eyes.:: Fine…

Spike:: He leans in and pushes her back into a tree, cornering her. He then presses his

lips against hers, moments later slipping his tongue into her mouth. ::

Buffy:: After about a minute of making out, she pulls her head away from him. :: I have to

go pack. See you later?

Spike:: A cocky grin quickly forms across his face. :: Your room. Be there and be square

Luv. Preferably dressed in something sheer, or leather, you know I like leather.

Buffy:: She slips past him and walks back into her house with a smile on her face. ::
