*Chapter 2*

"Yo, Buffy? Dawn? It's..." Xander called coming into the Summer's house. As soon as he seen Spike however, he cut off what he was saying and yelled, "BUFFY! What's Dead Boy doing here?! How come you invited him back in? What if he tries to kill you or Dawn?!"

"Relax Xand", Buffy said,trying to calm him down, "He's human"

"WHAT?! HOW THE HELL?!" Spike told him exactly what he told Dawn, again leaving out the part of his love for Buffy. Xander was surprised at this announcement and quieted down almost instantly. Willow and Tara had come in right after Xander and had also heard the discussion.

"Wow, that's wonderful, Spike" Willow said with a grin

"Yeah, that's great you guys" Tara replied with a smile and a quick glance at Buffy. Buffy smiled and thought, Well, Tara still knows. Oh well, as long as she doesn't tell Xander...

"Where's Anya and Giles?" Buffy asked, looking around.

"Magic Box," the three answered.

"Ah, of course" Buffy laughed. Dawn smiled and said, "Well, we know what Anya's doing, money needs more counting" Everyone laughed at her almost exact impression of Anya and Spike gave Dawn a hug.

The phone rings, "Dawn, it's Janice" Buffy says, giving Dawn the phone. Dawn walks out to the kitchen and closes the door. Buffy looked at Spike and he gives her a worried grin.

"Buffy, can I sleep over at Janice's tonight?" Dawn asked.

"Alright, but I want you to call me if you go anywhere. Remember Halloween?" Buffy sighed, remembering the day Dawn lied and almost got killed.

"Thank you!" Dawn ran over and gave Buffy a big hug. "I gotta go call Janice back."

Xander looked at Buffy and said, "OK, why, may I ask, are you letting her go?"

"Because," Buffy said, "she realizes how much she hurt us and she told me that she wouldn't do that again. And I believe her, for once."
