Can't Buy Me Love
Song is pure Beatles and Buffy and Spike are pure Joss Whedon. But putting the two together for a job hunt was my idea.
Can't buy me love, love I'll buy you a diamond ring my friend if it makes you feel alright I'll get you anything my friend if it makes you feel alright Cause I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love
"Willow," Buffy screamed coming into the Magic Box the next morning. "You will never believe what happened when I got home last night."
"Well if it involves you and a bleached blonde vampire I don't want to know," responded Xander from the table where he was reading. "Finding out that you two were back together was more than I ever wanted to know."
"Just for that I really am going to make you an usher"
"Huh"
Buffy lifted up her hand to show off the diamond ring on it. "Spike and I are engaged. It just happened last night. Where's Willow?"
"I'm right here" came the voice of the red head. "I was just doing some shelving in the back. So you two are really engaged, because I didn't do it, but there are other spells."
"It's real this time Will. It was all sweet and romantic and we didn't fight once, not once in an entire night. It's a record."
"Bonus points for not trying to kill the guy proposing." Willow said optimistically.
"Yeah, the only problem is I think I'm going to have to start moonlighting on you guys. I love the shop, but I'm already on a tight income and that's just regular stuff like food, electricity, and shelter. I have absolutely no budget for a wedding or a honeymoon."
I'll give you all I got to give if you say you love me too I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love
Back at what was now their house, Spike was thinking along the same lines only he had already sent an email to a publishing house two days before. Now was the patient waiting time that he hated. Of course, he had all the memories of last time to cheer him up. "She actually said yes," he said shaking his head. He would never have believed that it was possible. It was just too incredible. But he would have plenty of time to consider it. Eternity if he had his way. No right now he needed to focus and to focus he should turn on the computer and see if he'd gotten a response. "Clem wants me at a poker game he has lined up on Friday. (That sounds great.) Willow sent out a Magic Box ad. (Protective Amulet of Athena Twenty bucks.) Angel scanned a picture of Connor. (Poor kid, he looks like Angel, He's going to be miserable when he grows up, No friends at all.) Oh my god here it is Firebird Publishing. Dear William, the manuscript you have sent us was inspired. It captured the raw lust of vampirism that made Anne Rice famous. (Bloody idiots.) Your book 'Scourge of Europe' is accepted for publication and we will send you all the paperwork later this week. I will be around next week to pick up the paperwork and hear some of your ideas for the rest of the series of books 'Real Vampires.' I have a feeling this book will go straight to the New York Times Best Seller List. Talk to you later. Harold Koehler Firebird Publishing.'
Say you don't need no diamond ring and I'll be satisfied Tell me that you want the kind of thing that money just can't buy I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love.
"Honey I'm home." Buffy smiled as she opened the door at five that evening. "Sorry I left so early, but I had to tell everybody the good news. Spike? Where are you?"
"In here," came her fiancés' voice from the dining room.
"What are you up to in here?" Cause I was thinking we could" but before she could finish the statement that probably would have sent them upstairs to their bedroom for the rest of the night. She walked into the dining room and saw a romantic candlelit dinner. She was so shocked that she didn't even notice the blonde vampire sneaking up behind her and grabbing her around her waist.
"You know the book I wrote last year about Darla, Angelus, Dru, and Me. Well I just found out today that it's going to get published."
"Oh honey, that's wonderful, wait you always said that you never wanted to publish your journals. That it was bad enough writers with no idea what vampires where wrote those trashy books, but when Dracula told his story it nearly wiped out vampires."
"Well I'm not writing about how to kill us. I'm writing about all the fun we had. It's like a history book of victims and old friends."
"You did this because of last night didn't you. If you weren't marrying me, you wouldn't even think of publish those names and dates."
"I love you. And you mean more to me than anyone I wrote about in that book. Besides except for Angel and Dru everyone else is dead and what do I care if they get mad."
"You're sure about this."
"As sure as I am that I want to marry you."
Can't buy me love, everybody tells me so Can't buy me love, no, no, no, no
