oOoOoOo

The sun rose high in the sky the gang still slept, it wasn't until 12 pm that a few individuals started to stir. The first was Tara followed closely by Willow, the two witches snuck downstairs keeping in mind that Spike was asleep in the basement silently the two lovers moved around the kitchen pulling out bowls, a frypan and ingredients, after a few minutes the quiet sound of sizzling could be heard in the quiet kitchen and soon after the sweet scent of pancakes filled the kitchen, wafting both upstairs and downstairs.

After a few minutes Dawn came downstairs followed quickly by Xander then Anya and Giles Buffy was the last one down her hair damp from her shower wearing a pair of dark denim cut off shorts and a white tank top. Walking quickly over to the breakfast bar Buffy hopped up grabbing a pancake off the large plate and taking a bite.

"So any musical relations yet?" she asked cocking an eye brow

"Nada, Zilch, Zero" said Xander Buffy nodded as she looked around the kitchen a small frown appeared on her face

"did anyone call Spike for breakfast?" she asked the 6 heads shook sliding off the counter Buffy grabbed a few pancakes off the pile

"He'll need blood" Dawn said "I'll go after breakfast," she added Buffy nodded before she walked to the basement door and descending the stairs

"'Lo Slayer" came Spikes sleepy voice Buffy could feel a blush rising on her cheeks as she caught sight of Spikes naked torso and thanked the Powers That Be the basement was dark

"Hey, er grabbed you some pancakes... look funny shapes" she joked as she walked closed and passed the plate as silence descended again Buffy rubbed her hand up one arm. She could feel Spike's eyes on her trailing over ever inch of exposed skin; Buffy felt a tiny shiver run down her spine she let her eyes dart to his face for a second and smiled when she saw the appreciative leer in his face, she had picked out this outfit with him in mind though she would never admit it. Clearing her throat, she broke Spike out of his trance

"Dawn's gonna run to the butchers and get you some blood later" she said before turning back towards the stairs as she got half way up she stopped and turned to Spike

"All the curtains around the house are closed when you want to come up," she said before finishing her accent up the stairs and closing the door softly behind her. Spike flopped back onto the cot and draped a arm across his eyes he could feel his raging hard on straining against his zipper, those tight little shorts and tight tank top left very little to the imagination. Letting out a frustrated groan Spike tryed to think non sexy thoughts

'hmmm Rupert in a tutu..."

Upstairs

After closing the door, Buffy saw that only Willow was in the kitchen washing up the breakfast dishes

"Dawn and Tara went to get blood, Xander and Anya went to get some supplies for all of us and Giles left to gather some books that he thinks may help us" Willow babbled Buffy smiled and picked up a tea towel and started to dry the two made idle chit chat and when n they finished walked out onto the front porch and sat on the swinging chair.

"Buffy..." Willow started

"Mmm Wills"

"I'm sorry about everything, I know I've said it after Sweet's first show but....." she trailed off Buffy let out a sigh

"its – its OK Wills"

"No its not Buffy do you really feel 'broken' and everything you've sung about... well I mean of course you do but why didn't you talk to us?" Willow cried tears forming in her eyes. Buffy shut her eyes and rested her head against the back of the chair,

"I-I did talk to Spike" she said with a soft sigh "He's known s-since I came back... he's... he's been there for me" she said softly Willow stared at Buffy

"I know things have been hard, you've never had a 'normal' life since your calling..." she started when music started and Willow started to sing

So no one told you life was going to be this way.
Your job's a joke, you're broke, you're love life's DOA.

Buffy couldn't help but smile yep her love life was dead... well the undead she thought as images of Spike flashed across her mind.

Her 'real world' job the Double Meat Palace was DEFFENETLY a joke.


It's like you're always stuck in second gear,
Well, it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year.

'tell me about it' Buffy though


But, I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour.
I'll be there for you, like I've been there before.
I'll be there for you, cause you're there for me too.

'Let me in Buffy, let me bear the weight of this burden I put on your shoulders' thought Willow

You're still in bed at ten, the work began at eight.
You've burned your breakfast, so far, things are going great.
Your mother warned you there'd be days like these,
But she didn't tell you when the world has brought you down to your knees.

Buffy thought back to her mother, Joyce was the best mother anyone could ask for, she wasn't just a mother to herself and Dawn but she became the mother Anya couldn't remember, Xander never had, Tara lost, Willow missed and who Spike loved... a single tear ran down her face, god she wished her mum was here, to fix her a hot chocolate with marshmallows. She could tell all her secrets to her mother and always Joyce's calming words and running her hand over Buffy's golden locks would reassure her fears and giver her strength.

That, I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour.
I'll be there for you, like I've been there before.
I'll be there for you, cause you're there for me too.

No one could ever know me, no one could ever see me.
Seems like you're the only one who knows what it's like to be me.
Someone to face the day with, make it through all the rest with,
Someone I'll always laugh with, even at my worst, I'm best with you.

Willow let out a sigh as the music took over for a second, she may not know what Buffy was feeling, but somehow in her own Buffy way she knew what her friends were feeling and managed to make it better somehow it was a gift...


It's like you're always stuck in second gear,
Well, it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year.

But, I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour.
I'll be there for you, like I've been there before.
I'll be there for you, cause you're there for me too.

As the music faded out Willow turned to Buffy

"I mean it Buff... I'll be there for you"

"Thanks Will, Really" and with that the two of them sat in silence until the rest of the gang returned
