Luna, Matt, and Lira stepped into a demon bar; as they took a seat. "Hey Willie Soda please." She asked the older male at the counter.
Willie looked at the teenagers in front of him as he placed the drinks in front of them; while he turned and intended to other people. "So when did you decide that you liked Wesley?" Lira asked, as Luna looked at the twins in front of her.
"When he first arrived in the questioning room at Angel's" Luna answers softly, as she sighs deeply and she shakes her head. "But he thinks of me as a child." She adds as she takes a drink out of it.
Lorne entered the bar as he looked around and he sighed deeply. As he made his way farther inside, as he stops behind her. "Little lady you're in a bit of trouble with your folks." He said, as Luna looked over at him. "Alright" she responds as she finishes her drink. "Let's go guys" she adds to the twins.
Lira and Matt finishes their drinks as they got up from their seats and they walk towards the exit. Luna puts the money down for Willie. "Nope on the house little Summers and tell your mom I said Hi" he said with a smirk as she nods her head at him.
Luna jumped up onto Matt's back on the way back, as she was starting to feel really tired after a long day she had. Matt didn't care as he carried her home upon his back while Lira chuckles with a smirk upon her lips.
While Lorne walks along side these teenagers while they walked in silence allowing the young female sleep as they headed back home.
They arrived to the Summer's home; to see that it's all empty. "I will call Spike and let him know that we found you guys" Lorne said as he walked deeper into the house.
Matt and Lira decided to take her into her bedroom and wait until the adults came barreling home and started asking questions, as they carried Luna up the stairs and into her bedroom.
Matt simply held onto her legs while Lira went to the side and grabbed a hold of her; as they laid her down upon the bed. Lira took the window seat while Matt sat upon the floor near to the bed.

Lorne called Spike telling him that he found them and that they were safe. "Yes Spike they are all safe" he said, as he pulled the phone away from his ear. "Not a scratch on them" he added, as he sighs. "Spike just hurry up and come home" he said into the phone has he hung up.
The front door opens and reveals Dawn walking inside and closing the door. She squealed in surprise as she held her hand over her chest. "Oh dear lord" she said, as Lira and Matt ran down the stairs. "Lorne you really need to make your presences known" Matt said, as Lira giggled.
"I don't even want to know" Dawn responded, as she walked up the steps, as Luna walks down them after. "Auntie Dawn woke me up" she said, as she yawns. "So are the parental pissed off at us?" Lira asked, as Lorne made a grim face. "I would say so" he answers, as Luna sighs then she takes a seat on the couch and sighs deeply.
"I am pretty sure things will settle down" Lorne responds to the young teens. "Knowing my luck I will be grounded for a month" Luna says as she sighs. "Dad is pretty scary but Mom is too so two months with no video games or training" Matt said, Lira looked at him. "Probably no books for me" Luna says shaking her head.
Buffy comes running into her house with Spike in tow; while the others were on their way from wherever they had to search. "Luna Elizabeth Summers!" she screamed loudly, as she ran towards her daughter and hug her closely to her.
Spike places his hand upon her head. "You scared us nibblet" he said calmly while Buffy was feeling a mess.
Lira, Matt and Lorne watched the family closely of course. It was heart-warming and really sweet watching them interact as a family.
Just then Faith and Robin come running inside, as they came towards their children and pulling them closely to them in a hug. "You scared the shit out of us" Faith said.
"Oh okay now that we know that they are safe Luna you are grounded for two weeks and no patrol for a week" Buffy said as she pulls back and looks at her daughter. "That seems fair" Luna says as she looks up at them.
Faith sighs as she pulls back away from her kids. "Lira and Matt you guys are grounded for two weeks, no Video games, no tv, no music. Just hardcore training" Faith says, as Robin nods his head in agreement.
Willow and Giles walks into the house carrying magical items, as they look in the family room. "Did we interrupt anything?" Willow said with a smirk. "Just grounding" Buffy answers as she looks at her best friend. "Is that everything?" she questions, looking from Willow to Giles.
"Yes this shall do the trick" responds Giles as they take it to the kitchen. The last person to return was Wesley; since they figured that they would cover more ground that way, as he was panting from running all the way apparently. "Don't mind me" he said, as Spike smirked evilly "Don't worry we won't" he responded as Buffy smacked his arm. "What being honest" he added as Buffy sent him a glare.
"Sorry luv" Spike said, as Luna giggled then she looked up at Wesley as she knew that nothing would happen between them but she wished they could at least try. She sighs; as she gets up slowly.
"So since I am totally grounded, can I request to spend some time with Spike" Luna questions, as she looks up at them. "I don't see why not he can't get you into much trouble" Buffy responds looking thoughtful about the question; causing Luna to grin as she took a hold of Spikes hand into hers.
"Come on I have many questions that they won't answer" she says as she leads him out of the living room and up to his room. "Spike nothing to dirty" Buffy called out "I wonder if this is such a good idea" she added causing Faith to lightly slap her back. "Probably not" she says softly.
While the others were in the kitchen working on the protective charm for Luna and such; other things were going on as well on the outside world. "Don't worry my precious William things will be better" said a voice that was never forgotten.
