Part Two


"Dawn, put some of that stuff back. We don't have enough for all of it." Spike heard Buffy telling Dawn.

"But Buffy!" She whined. "I need all of this stuff. You heard Spike! He doesn't know when the next stop will be. I'm a growin' girl. Put something of yours back."

"Dawn, what would you have me put back? The bottled water, or the bag of nuts?"

Spike looked at Dawn's pile of snacks, then at Buffy's. "Cor, luv, that's all your eating?" he asked.

"That's all she ever eats. Spike, we need more money. Buffy's stuff put us over the limit."

He grinned at Dawn's innocent look. "There is no limit, Little Bit. You," he said pointing at Buffy, "Go get yourself more to eat. I won't have you starving yourself. Nobody likes an unhealthy slayer."

"I won't starve myself. An i don't always eat this little, but i'm on a diet." she said, giving her sister a dirty look.

Spike looked at her, amazed. "Bloody hell, there's barely anything there to put on a diet. You don't need to be on a diet. You need to put some meat on your bones." She started to talk, but Spike cut her off. "Don't argue with me. Come on, there must be something in here that seems good to you. There's ton's of goods, take your bloody pick."

She grinned. "Well, when you say it that way. Come on Dawn, leave your stuff with Spike." She grabbed her sisters hand and dragged her down the aisle, leaving a stunned Spike behind with all their snack. Christ, he'd never understand women.

Ten minutes later, they walked back out to the car, Spike carrying six bags of chips, dip, candy, pop, and every other junk food known to man, while the girls, of course, held nothing. Spike put all the things into the back seat, which meant that there was no room for Buffy in the backseat. Griining at her, Spike held the passenger side door open for her. Yep, there was definately some plus sides of this little stop.

"Everybody ready?" Spike asked.

"mm huh," they replied, their mouths already full of food.

"Cor, luv, when's the last time you had a bite to eat?"

Buffy thought for a moment. "I don't remember. A Couple of days ago, why?"

Spike grinned at the chocolate on her face. "Oh, no reason. No reason at all." he started the car. "Off we go then." and pulled away.
