Spike looked down at down at the niblet's niblet. He went from Big bad to being a second generation babysitter...where did it all go wrong? First he watched Dawn and now here he is watching her daughter. Dawn and her husband were called in on a problem and said they were heading up north for the night since Spike volunteered to watch their daughter. Spike had a chuckle seeing what the little brunette was watching on TV like mother like daughter.

Joy looked up at Spike from her spot as she was watching her show and saw the vampire laughing. "What are you laughing at?"

Spike looked over at her and just looked at the TV. "Oh, this isn't how I actually met her, but this the first memory I have of your mum."

"Really?" Joy asked.

Spike nodded. "Would you like to hear it?

"Yeah" Joy insisted she wants to know how this TV show is how Spike met her mother.

Years Ago

Dawn stood in Ethan's with Buffy at first she thought she was too cool for Halloween but then she realized she might be too cool for it but she's not doing anything tonight and this way she'll have free candy and maybe even manage to get into Xander's group of trick or treaters.

Dawn looked at Buffy with her noblewoman get up in one hand and a play bow in the other. "That's not the actual bow."

Buffy rolled her eyes. "And you're not going as the actual girl, improvise."

Dawn sighed and took the bow seeing her sister's point and not having money for a better costume.

Dawn was up in her room getting dressed with a pink shirt and denim overall shorts over it. She goes into her old toybox and pulls out the final piece of it all her old morpher toy with the Pterodactyl coin still in the slot, presto one Kimberly. She puts it on top of the bow unaware as magic spreads through the morpher just as Xander's gun spread magic through his army fatigues.

Kimberly opened her eyes and spotted a soldier pointing his rifle around like a madman while demons scurry about she immediately goes for her wrist but finds her communicator gone. A demon roars and she runs, the demon giving chase after her. She saw a giant van and decided to run up it and flip behind the demon. She took her first two steps up the door but as soon as she was off both feet she fell to the floor in a thud hitting the ground. What is wrong with her body? It feels like she's never done a day of gymnastics in her life. And to top it off she landed on a bow, why does she have a bow when she's not morphed?

The demon smiled until it received a crushing blow to the back of the head from Spike knocking it out.

Kimberly got back to her feet thankful for the assist. "Thank you"

Spike's smile turned predatory as he approached her recognizing the scent. The slayer has a sister who knew. "Didn't big sis ever teach you to not go out after dark? All sorts of danger is out in the dark especially on a hellmouth."

"Stay away from me." Kimberly warned backing up slowly

Spike had a simple smile. "Yeah that will work, now say please."

Kimberly looked at they guy he has to be ten feet tall. "Get away from me!"

She throws a kick that Spike easily catches and throws her to the floor.

Spike smiled as his game face came out. "You know I figured big sis would teach you a thing or two. Oh well, lets me have a little Niblet before moving onto lady Buffy."

Kim got to her feet and felt her back oh she does have that. "I might not have a big sister but I have Zordon, he taught me this." Spike watched as she pulled a buckle out from behind her back and shouted. "Pterodactyl"

Spike looked at the now full grown Pink ranger well he didn't see that one coming. "Right, let's go."

Spike went to grab her but Kim spread his arms out and punched him three times in the stomach before delivering one big haymaker to the face that hit Spike so hard he flew through the air and landed on a car as he got up on top of it. Spike watched as the slayer's sister jumped effortlessly fifteen feet into the air and caught him square in the face with a kick while shouting and knocking him away to the ground. Spike got to his feet wondering if all those hiyas really necessary? Kim jumped down at him and delivered three more kicks to the ribs while he was down.

Kimberly saw her weapon and smiled as she grabbed her power bow off the floor while Spike got to his feet.

Spike eyes widened seeing she not only had a weapon but likely that could kill him. "Bugger this, we're cool… bye."

Spike ran off and Kimberly just lowered her bow hearing a wide assortment of screams. She's a ranger, her job is to protect the innocent, not punish the guilty.

The Present

Spike stood there and looked at Joy. "And that is the first memory I have of your mum. Thankfully the morpher went back to being a toy after the spell and although she had the memories she just couldn't do gymnastics in her own body."

Joy was holding her mouth trying not to laugh. "You got beat up by a girl."

Spike looked at her. "Yes, with all your aunts on your mother's and father's side of the family that happens quite a lot anymore."

"Yeah but you got beat up by a little girl." Joy pointed out again and thought about it before asking. "Can I beat you up?"

"Given your pedigree... probably." Spike conceded not wanting to know the answer if he can get beat up by a four year old.

"Can my cousin Elizabeth beat you up?" Joy asked

Spike looked at her and rolled his eyes he used to be a big bad you know. "Not sodding likely, however the second I lay a finger on her your aunt Buffy will run a redwood through me before your uncle could raise a bow."

Joy looked up at him. "Uncle Spike, I still think you're tough."

Spike smirked and looked at her blue eyes. "Thanks little nib. Let's get you something to eat before bed."

Joy was in the kitchen sitting on the counter while Spike made her Hawaiian punch and got a cookie for the mini brunette as she smiled and disappeared. Spike rolled his eyes he hates when she does this.

"Little Nib?" Spike looked around the kitchen. "Little Nib?" Spike ran to the steps and shouted upstairs. "Joy!" She knows how dangerous it is he hopes she didn't leave the house with both parents busy with Metallo. Spike ran into the living room and saw Joyce Lara Kent in her parent's arms. Her father in a battle suit of blue with the big S in the middle and red cape. He looks less ridiculous without the red underwear on the outside he used to wear. Spike smiled seeing Dawn holding her daughter in a black top and pants. A homage to him in a red duster with Superman's symbol on the back of the duster. "Thought you were heading up north after you saved the day?"

"Chloe was training up there." Dawn answered worrying how much Clark's blond friend is turning into Bruce. "Did she give you any trouble?"

"Uncle Spike got beat up by the pink ranger. How come you never told me that you were the pink ranger?" Joy asked giving her mother a dirty look.

Dawn smiled looking at her little glare. "Because I didn't realize how much you liked the show."

Spike looked at Joy playing upset. "What makes you think I wanted your pop to know that story?"

Clark chuckled. "Spike, Dawn told me that story about a week after we met."

"Bugger" Spike muttered under breath until he got a smile seeing one last chance to rile up Dawn before she and Clark finally get married next week. "Hey little bit you want to hear how I met your father."

"You'll fit in an ashtray before you finish your first sentence." Dawn warned as her eyes glowed green. Spike always liked Clark and he loves Joy but no chance is Joy ever hearing about how mommy stuffed daddy in her cleavage because she was a giant at the start of the fight and finished the fight as a gargoyle.

Their screwed up lives that brought them together and eventually brought Joy into their lives. She wouldn't change a second of it.
