Giles: "Oh nothing much, just working on store finances."

Buffy: "Fun."

Giles: "Oh yes, very."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Giles: "So, Buffy, how are you?"

Buffy: "Great." *smiles*

Giles: "Sounds good."

Buffy: "Yeah."

*****Time passes, it is now 10:30 @ the Magic Shop*****

Buffy: "Well, Giles I better go on patrol, I'll see ya all tomorrow!"*starts to walk out the door*

Willow: "Aren't you coming back after patrol?"

Buffy: "I think I'll just go home, Dawnie might need some dinner.....or something." *walks out*

Willow: "Right.."

Xander: *looks at Willow* "So she wants to be with Dawn, what's the problem?"

Willow: "Nothing, I'm glad she wants to be with Dawn.."

Xander: "Right, lets get into research mode and look up that pirate man thing monster ghost, whatever, lets just try and find something to help Buffy, ok?"

Willow, Giles, Anya: "Yeah, lets go." *start researching, trying to find something on Christopher to help Buffy*

*****Buffy Patrolling*****

*Buffy walks around, waiting for a pathetic vampire to jump out of nowhere, and oh look, one does!*

Vampire: "Hey Sugar."

*Buffy kicks him and they fight a little, obviously he ends up dusted*

*she walks around some more, glancing at some rustling bushes, a tall man with blonde hair walks out, guess who?*

Spike: " 'Lo Luv." *grins*

Buffy: "Hey Spike." *smiles*

*Spike walks up to her and places his hand on her waist, smiling at her*

Spike: "Dusted any vampires yet?"

Buffy: "Just one, but he deserved it, calling me sugar and all."

Spike: "Calling you sugar? Your my sugar."

Buffy: *smiles and kisses him*

*****The Magic Shop*****

Xander: "Hey guys, that was Dawn on the phone, Buffy isn't home yet, I'll go look for her ok?"

Giles, Anya, Willow: "Yeah, sure right..." *still in research mode*

*****Back outside*****

*Xander sees Buffy but does not see Spike, he starts to walk up to her*

Xander: "Hey Buf-."

*Buffy looks over at Xander, then at Spike, and then back at Xander*


Buffy: "Umm..Hi Xander, uhh I'm patrolling, and uh Spike well he was uh, alright I was making out with Spike."

Xander: "I can see that.."

Spike: *grins*

Xander: "But why?"

Buffy: "Xander, I'm in love." *looks at spike when she says love*

Spike: "We're in love."

Xander: "Wow, didn't think I would leave to see this day, now did I?"

Buffy: *looks at Xander* "What day?"

Xander: "Buffy going crazy."

Buffy: "Hey!"

Spike: "Look, we love eachother, you have a problem you'll bloody hell have to deal with it."

Xander: "Right, well Buff see ya later." *starts walking back to magic shop*

Buffy: *turns to Spike* "I have to straighten this out, you said I wouldn't get hurt, let's hope I don't"

Spike: "Luv, you won't, why can't they accept you and me together?"

Buffy: "You don't get it, just forget it, I gotta go talk to Xander.." *runs up to Xander's side*


Spike: *stares after her*

Xander: "Where's Spike? Why don't you go make-out with him again behind our backs, or you know finish 'patrolling'?"

Buffy: "Xander, I was afraid you guys wouldn't approve, I didn't want that to happen!"

Xander: "You know what Buff? I may not be super strong, or super cute, or a wizard, or campire or whatever, but I still am your best friend, you should know I would accept anyone you love, but he-he's not good enough for you, I just want the best for you, but you obviously can't trust me anymore, or is it that I can't trust you?" *gets in his car and drives off*

Buffy: "XANDER!" *she starts talking to herself* "I should never let a guy get in a friendship, Xander is right, he's my best friend, But, Spike is good enough..."
