Spike caught up with Buffy on her way to Giles'. By the way she was walking he could tell that she wasn't too happy.

"Slayer!" Spike called. Buffy didn't pause or turn around she just kept walking.

"Buffy, wait please!" he called again. This time she stopped and slowly turned to face him.

"What do you want Spike?" she replied in a deadly tone. Spike sighed. *I am a complete nancyboy*

"I'm sorry for being a prick, luv. It's just that I am madder than all hell about this saving the world bullocks" said Spike *Cor, now I'm apologizing? Dru has nothing on me now*

"Y-you're apologizing to me? Way wiggy. Are you sure your Spike?" Buffy asked slightly amused

"Ha ha, very funny Slayer" he replied, taking a cigarette out of his pocket and lighting it. He exhaled the smoke and looked at her. Buffy was looking at him strangely.

"What?" he asked.

"Nothing," Buffy replied, "What do you think about this whole thing?"

"I think the blokes upstairs need to get off their clouds and solve their own sodding problems." He said. Buffy laughed, as they started walking together toward Giles'.

"For once, Spike we agree on something" she said.

"Yeah, the world really is coming to and end if we agree with each other." Spike replied with a smile.

The Scooby Gang had arrived at Giles' house just as Cupid appeared. A flash of white light filled the room and Vampy appeared with an annoyed look on her face.

"Matt...." She started.

"Shh! The meeting is starting baby," he said with a half smile. Vampy frowned.

"This isn't over, Cupie" she whispered, low enough so only he could hear. Cupid/Matt swallowed hard, he knew he was in for it later.

"Uh Buffy, Who are the newbies?" asked Xander, shooting a puzzled glance at Vampy and Cupid.

"...And Spike's here...Buffy why is Spike here?" asked Willow.

"Don't worry Red, I won't bite...I'll make an exception for the whelp though" said Spike with a smirk.

"Yeah right, peroxide fang. As long as it's still chips ahoy in your head you can't do anything" Xander replied. Spike stalked toward Xander. Hoping to avert serious drama Buffy began to speak...

"Oook, introduction time," said Buffy, " Ilianna, Matt meet Xander, Anya, Willow, and Tara." Everybody said their "hellos" and the meeting really got underway.

"Ok, this is what we know Scoobies...You all will gain a power to help stop the devil from taking over the earth and heaven." Vampy stated.

"Powers? Devil? Huh?" said Xander, looking to Buffy.

"We have to save the world, lack brain," said Spike.

"Then what are you doing here Dead boy Jr.? Shouldn't you be lurking in a crypt somewhere, impotent as you are?" asked Xander, snidely.

"Impotent? I'll show you impotent..." said Spike, half a beat before he sent Xander flying across to room with a right to the jaw. Everyone stared gape mouthed...

"Oh my god! Xander!" Willow gasped out. She went over to his side; blood was trickling from the corner of his mouth.

"B-but the chip..." Xander started. Everyone turned at looked at the peroxide blonde just in time to see him fly backward as Buffy plowed into him aiming a wicked looking stake at his heart.

"Slayer stop!" yelled Vampy, using her powers to throw the slayer off of Spike. The slayer stood where the angel had put her, glaring at the vampire. Spike was in game face glaring right back at her but when he looked her directly in the eyes and say the fury there he let his demonic visage fade. Vampy looked back and forth between the two and shot a look at Cupid.
*You call this love?* she asked inside his mind.

*Okay they're in denial, so sue me* he answered.

*You take the Slayer, I've got the bleached nut job* Vampy said. Cupid nodded and led the Slayer into Giles' bedroom.

"William, come with me." Vampy said to her charge.

"Arrg! The name is SPIKE! And what if I don't want to go with you?" said Spike. Vampy gave him a deadly look, her eyes flashing.

*If you don't you'll lose the slayer forever* came her reply in his head.

"Damn whelp, damn Slayer...should've killed them both when I had the chance" Spike mumbled following Vampy out of the door. Once the two were outside in the courtyard, Vampy's lecture began...

"What the hell is wrong with you? What possessed you knock the glorified brick layer across the room?" Vampy asked angrily. Spike looked down at his shoes like a child being scolded.

"Sorry, luv I..." Spike started.

"Don't 'Sorry, luv" me William! You could've seriously hurt him, now I'm all for watching you kick ass but that wasn't the best way to get the Slayer to like you!" said Vampy.

"I know, pet but that pillock is so bloody annoying and he called me impotent! In the old days he wouldn't have the courage to step up to me let alone insult me!" Spike said.

"I know he made fun of you a lot while you were chipped but you've got to control yourself. Do it for Buffy, if not for yourself." Vampy pleaded.

"You just had to bring my feelings for her into it didn't you?" asked Spike.

"If it weren't for your feelings for her you wouldn't be here oh bleached one" said Vampy softly. Spike flipped her the bird once again and she giggled.

Meanwhile inside the flat...

"I'm going to shove a stake so far up his ass it will pierce his damn brain! The bleached dick!" Buffy yelled. Cupid watched as Buffy paced around the room muttering curses, thinking about what she was going to do to the blonde vampire when he came back inside.

"Buffy, stop it! You're making me dizzy!" said Cupid. Buffy stopped pacing and sat down on the bed.

"Sorry, he just pisses me off to no end! Damn infuriatingly sexy vampires..." Buffy said, the last part said under her breath.

"Um, Buffy...How do you really feel about Spike?" asked Cupid, catching the last part of what she said.

"I hate him! He's an arrogant, cocky, annoying jerk!" replied Buffy *Even if he is a hottie*

"Right..." said Cupid pulling a small leather pouch out of his pocket. By this time Buffy was pacing again and ranting about Spike in her head. *Spike Bad. Slayer good...Spike good looking.... Slayer BAD! Grrr, Damn Vampire!*

"Um, Buffy?" said Cupid trying to get the Slayer attention.

"Yeah?" the Slayer answered, turning around. When she did, Cupid threw some glittery red powder onto her. Buffy sneezed.

"What's with the red glitter?" asked Buffy, shaking off the glitter.

"Um, good luck charm. Err, It's almost midnight, we should join the others." Cupid said.

The two exited the bedroom in time to see Vampy shoving a grumbling vampire back inside the house. Buffy felt her heart to a funny movement when she looked at Spike, almost as if a mini-Xander were doing the snoopy dance in her chest.

*I take it the true love powder is a go?* asked Vampy

*That's a positive* answered Cupid, with a wink at his love. Vampy rolled her eyes.

"It's seconds to midnight everyone" announced Giles.

"Oh goody" said Spike rolling his eyes. Vampy smacked him upside the head.

"Behave, William" said Vampy.

Just then the clock started to chime and everyone looked around as it did. After a few moments the clock was quiet...nothing happened!

"Um, Vampy? I hate to point out the obvious but nothing happened." Said Buffy looking to the angel for answers.

"I dunno what happened but..." Vampy started. Just then the angel went rigid and her whole body was suffused it a blue light, her head lolled back and the light disappeared and Vampy fell forward. She would've hit the ground if Spike and Cupid hadn't caught her. They laid her gently on the couch and everybody crowded around.

"Vampy? Wake up, luv" said Spike, slapping her across the face. To everyone's surprise she opened her eyes. Cupid gave Spike a look.

"Well, she woke up now didn't she?" said Spike innocently.

"Vampire, you are so gonna pay for that. Ow! Head hurts, I hate this job!" grumbled Vampy, sitting up.

"What happened, baby?" asked Cupid taking her in his arms.

"I got transferred the Scooby Gang's powers that's what, it hurt like hell!" she answered rubbing her temples.

"Alright children, line up in front of the angel in pain as I call your name to see what you have won," said Vampy to the Scoobies. "Buffy, you first."

"This isn't going to hurt is it? What you went through didn't look of the fun," said Buffy.

"It won't hurt, trust me. Close your eyes..." Vampy said. Buffy shut her eyes and Vampy put her hand on the Slayer's forehead. The blue glow they had seen engulf Vampy now engulfed Buffy. When the glow disappeared Buffy opened her eyes and looked at Vampy.

"Was that it?" asked Buffy.

"That was it, Slayer" Vampy replied.

"Well what power did I get?" Buffy questioned.

"You see that vase over there, Move it to the coffee table." Said Vampy.

"Move it? Okay..." Buffy started to walk over to the vase when Vampy's voice stopped her.

"No, don't move it like that, Move it with your mind" she said.

"My mind? I can do that?" asked Buffy.

"Try it and see." Replied Vampy.

Buffy concentrated on the vase, nothing happened at first. Then as everyone watched the vase began to shake, it rose, floated over to the coffee table and landed on it perfectly.

"Oh wow!" Buffy exclaimed.

"Neat huh?" said Vampy, "Next!"

One by one the Scoobies got their powers the same way that Buffy had. Spike got super speed and enhanced agility, meaning he would be literally bouncing off the walls when he got hyped up or angry. Willow gained the power to freeze, which she learned of when Spike knocked the vase off the table while testing out his power. Giles gained the power to see the near future...he had foreseen Spike knocking down the vase but no one had listened. Xander gained the powers of a shape shifter, he had morphed into Angel to scare the hell out of Spike...All it really did was get him knocked back into his own shape. Buffy used her power to keep them apart. Tara gained the power of healing...she had healed Xander's split lip from when Spike hit him. And last but not least, Anya had gained the power to cast glamours and illusions. Spike went outside for a smoke and Anya cast a daylight glamour to keep him inside. By the time all the powers where given, Vampy was visibly drained.

"I think I'm going to go take a nap, I'm getting to old for this..." Vampy mumbled, her form shimmering and disappearing.

"I guess I get to stay here and supervise the children...great." Said Cupid to himself.

Vampy had just reached her home in the clouds. Her clothing had changed back into her black robe and she spread her wings, stretching. She was about to crawl into bed when a voice halted her...

"Hello Vampy..." cooed a voice from behind her. Vampy broke into a cold sweat, and then slowly turned toward the voice. Behind her stood Allie, dressed in a form fitting dress in her favorite color...Red.

"Hello...Mother"
