"You are the most annoying git I've ever met!" Buffy Summers yelled.

William 'Spike' Giles smirked, "Careful Summers, you're starting to sound like me."

Buffy glared up at him, "The day I sound like you is the day pigs fly."

This was a normal occurrence between the two. Buffy and Spike used to be best friends. Their parents, Rupert Giles and Joyce Summers, were also friends. Rupert helped Joyce find a house in Sunnydale when her husband left her and Buffy. The Summers' found a house right next to the Giles household.

Anyway, Buffy and Spike were best friends up until the summer after their sophomore year. Nobody knew what had happened, but whatever it was, it was bad.

"What are they fighting about this time?" Xander Harris asked, joining the group of friends surrounding the fighting duo.

Cordelia Chase shrugged, "Who knows?"

"My guess is," Angel O'Connor started, "is that Spike saw Buffy flirting with Riley Finn and decided that he needed to embarrass the hell out of her."

Willow Rosenburg nodded, "That's what happened."

"You are so…so…" Buffy searched for the right insult.

"Speechless?" Spike asked.

Buffy slammed her locker shut, "Go screw yourself!" She walked out of the school.

Spike rolled his eyes and walked the opposite way out.

Buffy slammed the front door and put her keys on the key rack. "Buffy?" Joyce asked from the living room.

Buffy walked into the room, "Hi mom."

"What's wrong? Did you and William get into another fight?"

"I don't want to talk about it."

"You two used to be so close. What happened?"

"You know what happened."

"It happened two years ago. What's the problem?"

"He got me pregnant! Then he wanted me to get an abortion!"

"You were fifteen!"

"It's murder!"

"Well, everything worked out okay."

"Okay? Okay! Mom! I had a miscarriage! My baby died!"

"And your life is better for it."

Buffy stood, "I'm staying at Willow's." She walked upstairs and packed her clothes while tears silently fell down her cheeks.

"You and your mom fought again?" Willow asked. The two girls were in the Rosenburg kitchen, munching on oreos and milk.

Buffy nodded, "Yeah. She asked me why Spike and I aren't friends anymore."

Willow closed the cookie bag, "I've been wondering the same thing."

"Will…"

"Buffy, for two years you've kept this from me. We're best friends. I want to know."

"Okay, I'll tell you." Buffy smiled, "AFTER we go to the Bronze."

Willow shook her head, "Buffy…"

"Please Will. I need some fun."

She sighed, "Okay. I'll call the gang."
