Pike
Dawn thought she recognized the biker guy who started talking next. A flash of realization hit her when he said his name, "I'm Pike. I was the first guy to fall in love with Buffy after she became the Slayer, but I doubt I was the last. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if she got some bad guys to change sides; that's the kind of girl she was. It wasn't a Slayer thing…it was a Buffy thing," he proclaimed with a smirk, knowing there was at least one vamp in the crowd who cared about the late Slayer.
"We hated each other with a fiery passion when we saw each other for the first time. I was a slacker and she was one of those rich bitches that looked down on anyone not part of their circle. Then Merrick saved my life, and when we saw each other again… well, it still wasn't love at second sight, but it was better.
"I think the real turning point for us was when Merrick was killed. The guy was a bit creepy, but he loved her a lot. Not the same way as me, but she won him over as a brother/father/uncle/whatever-figure. She needed somebody to count on, who knew her secret, to help her deal with her guilt. And to remind her what Merrick wanted from her.
"She paid back my friendship with taking the fall for the gym fire, knowing that I'd get thrown in jail, where she'd probably get a slap on the wrist 'cause of her parents. Even though we drifted apart after she left LA, I never forgot her. She helped turn a slacker who would have been dead by now – from drinking or whatever – into a guy with a mission in life. I'll never be one of those preppy guys she dated when we met, but I will always try to be a guy she'd be proud to love."
A/N: Next…Supernatural. (C'mon, like anyone's really surprised to have a cross with them?)
