Spike had no clue as to what to say to the Slayer! As many attempts as he had made on her life, he never thought what would happen if they were fighting on the same side...her side. Sure he had thought about making her a vampire, creating death and destruction everywhere with her by his side. But becoming one of the "good guys" made him somewhat sick! And okay, he had helped her against Angelus but that was for his own selfish reasons only, not because some celestial being on high told him to!
*You're just doing this for to get the chip out mate, it has nothing to do with the Slayer in all her golden glory* Spike thought to himself. "Bloody Hell" he said aloud.
Since Spike was lost in thought, he didn't realize that he was circling Stevenson Hall.
He finally looked up and noticed where he was...
"C'mon, it's not liked you've never talked to the chit before" Spike said to himself.
"Talk to yourself often William?" said a voice from behind him.
Spike turned around slowly to see his angel standing behind him, with a small smirk on her face.
"Vampy? What the bloody hell are you doing here?" he asked
"Checking on you! It's my job remember?" she replied with a giggle, "And I came to warn you not to go up there just yet, Commando Riley is up there"
Spike's eyes narrowed at the mention of the Iowa boy's name. He growled as he felt his jealousy rise.
"What she sees in that stupid wanker, I'll never know," Spike said angrily.
"Jealous are we Spikey? I thought you didn't 'fancy the Slayer'" said Vampy, mimicking his accent.
Spike glared at the angel, then turned away to stare up at the dorm. *Easy mate*
"Spike, calm down. I suggest you go see Buffy's watcher before you talk to her, she might wanna stake your ass before you even get a chance to open your mouth" Vampy said.
"Yes mum" Spike replied sarcastically.
Vampy took that opportunity to stick her tongue out at the blonde vampire. Spike cocked an eyebrow at her childish behavior.
"Someone is being immature," he said
"Me? Immature? Not even, who's the one that called me mum a few seconds ago?" she replied.
"Hey I'm 126 years old, so I'm far from immature, pet" said Spike.
"I'm older than you, therefore you are a child to me William" said Vampy with a smile, pleased with herself.
"Piss off" he replied, "And the name is SPIKE"
"Yes, I know...WILLIAM!" she said giggling.
*Why are such angels raving loonies? * Spike thought, looking up at the heavens.
"I heard that!!" said Vampy, semi-angrily.
"Did I not just say piss off?" he said walking off.
"I'll be watching you Spikey!" she called from behind him. When Spike turned around to reply...Vampy was gone, leaving him to go talk to Giles.
************************************************************************
Meanwhile, Inside Buffy's room...
"Riley I don't see why it bothers you so much" Buffy said to the ex-Initiative member
"He's a vampire Buffy, he needs to be eliminated" Riley replied angrily.
"Well Spike is harmless now, what damage can he do?" she said while hiding stakes on her body.
With that Riley went quiet and just looked at his girlfriend while she continued to hide the tools of her trade on her.
"Riley, I don't know what your deal is but I have to go patrol. This issue is closed," said Buffy.
"I'm going with you," he replied "you'll need back up"
"No, I'm the Slayer...I can do this without you. You'll only slow me down" Buffy snapped.
Riley looked as if he'd been struck a blow. He'd never had things like that directed at him from Buffy...
"Bye" she said walking out the door.
Walking across one of the campus lawns, Buffy felt her slayer sense tingle signaling that a vampire was near. Just then, someone tapped her on the back. Buffy grabbed the arm the tapped her and swung the person around, aiming a stake at the persons heart.
"Hey! Take it easy!" exclaimed Vampy.
"Who are you?!" demanded Buffy, pressing the stake to the angels' heart.
"I'm a friend! Do you always try to stake your friends?!" she replied.
"No, but I don't have many friends that are vampires" Buffy said, starting to lose her patience.
"Does this look like I'm a vampire?" Vampy asked spreading her black wings. Breaking Buffy's hold on her, Buffy looked confused.
"But I'm getting evil vibes from you" said Buffy
"Yeah well that may be because I'm part demon" she replied.
"Part demon?" Buffy asked still puzzled.
"Please allow me to introduce myself, I am Vampy the Angel of Death...At you service" said Vampy with a curtsy.
"Vampy? Your name is Vampy?" asked Buffy, with a little smile.
"Yup. Blame them for the name" the angel replied, casting a glance upward.
"I thought the guy with the sickly took care of dead people," said Buffy
"It's a sickle and that's the Grim Reaper, he's just used to frighten people," said Vampy "he's a really great guy once you get to know him."
"Uh huh. Well Vampy, What are you doing here? Oh wait! I'm not dead or in the process of dying am I?" Buffy asked fearfully
Vampy giggled and Buffy's look of fright made itself more visible. *Please God no!* she prayed silently.
"He's not listening Buffy," said Vampy "and besides I'm not here to take you, I'm here guarding a certain blonde vamp we all know and love"
"Spike? You're peroxide boy's guardian angel?" laughed Buffy "Someone up there must've thought he was funny." Vampy laughed as well.
"You know that's the same thing William said," she said.
"OK, so welcome to the Hellmouth." said Buffy
"Thanks, I'm here to tell you Spike is at your watcher's. Spike is one of the white hats now" Vampy said with a smile, knowing how much Spike would hate the sound of it.
"Spike is a good guy now? Why? Wait never mind, he's getting something out of this isn't he? Why else would he help us?" Buffy said partly to herself.
"You'd be surprised...he's getting his chip out for good behavior" said Vampy. Buffy gave her a horrified look.
"You can't do that! If he gets his chip out he'll go back to killing again...especially trying to kill me!" Buffy practically yelled.
"Buffy, he won't be able to hurt you or yours...as for the innocents he wont be able to kill them, he will only be able to take enough to satisfy his hunger." Vampy replied.
"Well, it's better than him killing. I still don't like it but I'll accept it." said Buffy
"That's good a Slayer." said Vampy *Ho boy, imagine what she'll do when she finds out Spikey boy likes her*
"So, I guess I'm going over to Giles then huh?" Buffy said.
"Good plan, just don't attack the peroxide jerk when you get there ok?" said Vampy "No wait, scratch that...You have my permission to knock him around some just don't hurt him too much."
Buffy giggled "You got it" she said and started to walk off.
"Hey how will I find you if I need you?" asked Buffy
"Don't worry about it...I'll find you" said Vampy, smiling and showing some fangs.
Vampy giggled once more and disappeared before Buffy's eyes. *Wow, wait till I tell Giles about this* she thought
************************************************************************
Somewhere in the heavens...
"VAMPY!!!" yelled Cupid
"What what what!?" Vampy yelled back, appearing before her beloved's eyes.
"Why is there Fyarl Demon blood all over kitchen?" he asked angrily, holding up a rag soaked with the offending liquid.
An "I'm guilty look" crossed her angelic features.
"Um, I was making smoothies?" she explained lamely.
Cupid was not amused, he raised an angry eyebrow at her explanation. He started to
advance on her, Vampy backed up with every step forward he took towards her.
"Ok! ok!, I dunno how but demons are somehow crossing over into heaven. The Fyarl Demon decided to visit and I had to kill it" Vampy said "And aren't you supposed to be the God of Love? Why are you acting like Ares?"
Cupid backed off and threw the rag onto the floor, settling into his favorite chair..., which was white and decorated with red hearts. Vampy watched silently.
"Sorry, my love. It's just the thing with your charge and the Slayer...you're spending too much time on earth" he said with a sigh.
"Awww! Cupie, are you feeling a little neglected?" she asked, sitting on his lap.
Vampy wrapped her arms around her white winged love, kissed him softly on his lips and settled into his embrace.
"I'm sorry, sweets but this is the biggest job 'THEY' have ever trusted me with and it's eating up my time" Vampy said, "Plus I have to stop this demon cross over thing from happening by helping the slayer and Spikey make a truce."
"Why can't Allie try to take over heaven the traditional way? By having a good old fashioned, direct war between good and evil?" asked Cupid.
"Allie was never one for direct confrontation Cupie, she has demons do all her dirty work" replied Vampy, snuggling further into his embrace. The thought of Allie taking over scared her...The thought of Allie period, scared her!
"Well I hope this Slayer and that vampire of yours are strong enough to take her down" Cupid replied.
"Together, they'll kick some evil ass" Vampy said enthusiastically, kissing Cupid on the nose.
"I hope so, my love...I hope so" said Cupid
************************************************************************
Giles house...
"S-Spike, what makes you think Buffy is going to go along with this?" Giles asked the peroxide blonde.
"She bloody has to! If I have to be good to get this damned chip out then so be it!" he replied.
Giles was about to say something more when he heard the voice of his Slayer.
"Hi Giles" greeted Buffy, ignoring Spike.
"Hello to you to Slayer" Spike said.
"I just ran into a friend of the heavenly kind" Buffy told her watcher, while throwing a smirk Spikes way.
*Oh hell, Vampy just had to go to the bloody Slayer* Spike thought *When I get my hands on that chit...*
"F-Friend?" inquired Giles
"Yeah, her name is Vampy. She's the..." Buffy started.
"Angel of Death" Giles finished for her.
Buffy plopped down onto the couch, While Giles went to the bookcase and took out one of his volumes.
"Oh and guess what else Giles, she's Spike's guardian angel" Buffy stated with a giggle.
Spike just glared at her. *I am going to rip Vampy's wings off* he thought violently.
"Yes well, someone must've thought themselves extremely clever by giving Spike a guardian angel...and the Angel of Death no less" said Giles with a small smile forming on his lips.
"Did someone summon me?" asked the angel in question, appearing out of nowhere.
"No, we bloody well didn't so you can leave" said Spike angrily. Vampy just arched an eyebrow at her charge.
"Hey Vampy"said Buffy brightly.
"Hi Slayer," replied Vampy with a smile. "Now, William what did I tell you about being rude?"
Spike just glared at her, and started mumbling about annoying Slayers and nosy guardian angels.
"So Vampy what brings you here?" Buffy asked, smirking at Spike.
"I came to annoy my darling William...And to ask if a truce has been made" she replied.
"If the bleached doof would stop mumbling maybe we could reach an agreement," said Buffy.
"Sod off!" Spike snapped. He sat down in a chair and began to pout.
"Now Spikey don't pout..." Vampy scolded playfully. "Anyway, so do we have a truce or not?"
"Sure, I think I can deal with the "Big Bad" for a while without wanting to stake him" Buffy replied.
*I don't think the Big Bad can deal with not staking you, luv* Spike thought naughtily, with a grin.
"I heard that William" said Vampy smirking. "Naughty vampire."
"Bloody Hell!" he shouted, "Get out of my head you nosy chit!"
"Huh? What did he say?" asked Buffy in confusion looking at the pair.
"He said the Big Bad wants to..." Vampy started.
"To get the hell out of here!" Spike finished, clamping a hand over the angels' mouth.
Vampy bit his hand. Spike jumped back with a shout, he surveyed his hand...There were two tiny puncture marks where she had bitten him, they were both bleeding. He licked the blood then glared at Vampy.
"Flaming hell, woman!" he yelled. Vampy smiled sweetly at him.
"Y-yes well seeing as it's almost sunrise, I think it's time for Spike to be going. You can take up patrol with Buffy tomorrow night" said Giles dragging his eyes from his book.
"I'll meet up with you at sundown at your crypt" said Buffy.
"Well I guess the truce issue is solved, I'll make sure Spikey behaves himself while he's working with you. And my work here is done" said Vampy pleased with herself.
"And I am getting the blood hell out of here" said Spike getting up and walking out the door, slamming it behind him.
Spike was half way to his crypt when he heard a familiar giggle coming from behind him. He stopped but he didn't turn around.
"What in the bloody hell do you want now, you stupid bint?" said Spike angrily.
"Are you mad that I almost let your dirty little secret slip?" Vampy asked, smirking slightly.
"Yes I bloody well am!" Spike shouted, "The Big Bad isn't supposed to have feelings for the Slayer!"
"Well why not?" she asked
"It's not the order of things! I'm evil, she's good. I'm a vampire, she's a Slayer! We're supposed to kill each other, not be making googly eyes at each other!" he replied.
"And since when have you followed the order of things William?" challenged Vampy.
Spike didn't know what to say. *Even if she did know, she still wouldn't have me and just like Cecily...I'm beneath her* he thought sadly.
"Cuando amor no es locura, no es amor." said Vampy softly (When love is not madness, it is not love.)
"Yeah well love has a way of making my life go bullocks up" said Spike bitterly "I just want to get this thing over and done with so I can slink back into the shadows where I belong."
With that being said, Spike continued his walk to his crypt without sparing a backward glance for the angel.
"Don't worry William, you'll get the girl this time" Vampy whispered into the dark, "I'll make sure of it"
"Oh Cupid!" she called to the heavens...
*You're just doing this for to get the chip out mate, it has nothing to do with the Slayer in all her golden glory* Spike thought to himself. "Bloody Hell" he said aloud.
Since Spike was lost in thought, he didn't realize that he was circling Stevenson Hall.
