Spike: Admit it, I'm growing on you Buffy.
Buffy: Sure you are Spike, like an unsightly fungus.
(Harmony kisses Spike. They began kissing passionately. Buffy rolls her eyes and looks down at her watch. Then she walks up to them.)
Buffy: OK, that's enough. ENOUGH! (She pushes them away from each other.)
Xander: Wait, wait. Buffy's Angel? Can't do the deed because he'll turn evil, Angel, is a father?
Willow: So who's going to tell her? (Anya puts down the phone.)
Anya: Ohh, I know. How about Spike?
(Buffy unties Dawn. She breaks the chair over a minion's head and then picks up a large piece of wood and shoves it through the demon's chest.)
Demon: The chip was implanted.
Harmony: So everything's going according to plan? Don't worry, they'll pay for hurting you, they'll all pay.

The Seed Of Good & Evil Chapter 6
(Scene 1: Buffy and Willow are in the Bronze sitting down. Willow is bobbing her head to the music a little.)
Willow: So, this is nice, right. Just you and me, out on the town, having fun. (Willow notices Buffy staring into her drink.) OK, so maybe fun was too decent an adjective.
Buffy: Will, I'm having a good time, really. (Buffy lets out a sigh and looks back at her drink.)
Willow: Sure you are, in that can't get your mind off of everything else kind of way. I don't like that way.
Buffy: Is it that noticeable?
Willow: Are billboards? And not just the plain cardboard ones, but the electronic ones that are real fancy and high tech with the neon lights and the OK I'm officially babbling now aren't I.
Buffy: It's my fault. Sorry, I should have warned you that I'd be bad company tonight. It's just I'm worried about Dawn.
Willow: Is that all? Not that worrying about Dawnie isn't huge, but is that really what has you all off in soda starring world?
Buffy: Sure it is, what else could it be.
Willow: I'm not a mind reader, but there's definitely something else that's driving you crazy. Is it Harmony? You never did tell us how you met back up with her?
Buffy: That's because I didn't, Spike did. His lips met back up with her lips. They had a little lip reunion thing happening.
Willow: Ouch, that must have been tough on you.
Buffy: Not really. I couldn't care less about who Spike sees. I mean if Harmony floats his boat, well good for him. She's a little dense and kind of annoying; but on second thought I guess they have a lot in common. .
Willow: Buffy, you have feelings for him or at least we know you did at one point in time. It's Ok to succumb to them.
Buffy: I did, for one night and look at what good that got me. (Willow looks down.) I think I've done enough succumbing to last me a lifetime or two, three. Which reminds me, aren't Xander and Spike supposed to be meeting us here?
Willow: They'll be here, soon.
Buffy: What do you think they're doing?
Willow: Well I'll tell you what they're not doing. They're not exchanging secrets. (Buffy raises her brow a little bit.) Well they're not. (Willow nervously takes a sip of her soda.)
(Scene 2: Spike and Xander are walking through the graveyard.)
Spike: I thought you said Buffy was here?
Xander: Really, I thought I said she was at the Bronze. My mistake.
Spike: What is this about?
Xander: I don't know what you. ..
Spike: Don't make me ask you again!
Xander: Angel, it's all about Angel, he should have his own show.
Spike: What about Angel?
Xander: He's doing well, soul's OK, not all evil and he has a son.
Spike: Really? Wait that's not normal? (Spike and Xander stop.)
Xander: Yeah, you're right, it isn't. Apparently you and Buffy aren't the only ones with the miracle conception thing going for ya. Willow has this crazy theory that maybe Buffy's baby and Angel's son were meant to be together. Possibly created for the same purpose.
Spike: Ok, well what does Buffy say about all of this? (Spike lights up a cigarette)
Xander: Don't know; write me a post card when you tell her. (Xander start to walk away.)
Spike: Hold it. (Xander turns to Spike.) You want me to tell Buffy?
Xander: Well, we were thinking that maybe, I don't know, you would. We took a vote and decided you were the best one to break the news.
Spike: Where was I during this vote?
Xander: Does that really matter, because I don't think it does.
Spike: That's because you don't have to tell her.
Xander: True. Spike, Buffy needs to know about Angel and his son. It shouldn't be that bad. She'll probably be grateful that you told her. Very grateful, if you catch my drift.
Spike: Grateful? I'm dead not stupid.
Xander: So that's a no or bloody no. I prefer no it's a little nicer.
Spike: It's neither. I'll do it. I'll tell her.
Xander: (It gets quiet.) Well, good luck with that. (Xander pats him on the back. Xander walks off.)
Spike: (Spike rolls his eyes.) Grateful, that'll be the day. (He throws his cigarette on the ground and starts walking again.)
(Scene 3: Dawn is outside the Bronze. She's looking around. When a vampire named Lark walks up to her.)
Lark: You came, just like Harm said you would.
Dawn: What am I doing here? (Lark smiles at her.)
Lark: Relax, you're so tense. (She walks behind Dawn. She moves Dawn's hair to one of her shoulders.) So very, very tense (Lark begins massaging her neck. She smiles and then walks back in front of Dawn.)
Dawn: I don't know you and I really shouldn't be here?
Lark: Yes, you should. You're telling me you don't remember a thing. Let me refresh your memory, hon. You have a job to do, one that requires a little death.
Dawn: No, I'm not doing anything for you! (Dawn tries to walk away, but Lark slams her against the brick wall.) No! (Lark morphs into a vampire.)
Lark: You know the only thing worst than saying no to a vampire? (She puts her hand around Dawn's neck and begins lifting her above the ground.)
Dawn: Buffy!
Lark: The slayer can't save you now kid.
Buffy: That's where you're wrong. (Lark drops Dawn and turns to Buffy.) Oh and Dawn was right. The only thing worst than saying no to a vampire is definitely me.
Lark: Ahh! (She runs towards Buffy. Buffy punches her in the face and kicks her back to the brick wall. Dawn runs over to Willow. Buffy walks over to Lark.)
Buffy: Never! (Buffy kicks her.) Ever! (She kicks her again.) Touch her again! (Buffy goes to kick her again, but Lark trips her.) Ahhhhh! (She gets on top of Buffy. Willow runs over to her, but she pushes Willow against the wall.)
Lark: Your blood will taste so sweet slayer. (She begins going towards Buffy's neck when she suddenly turns into dust. Buffy looks up and Dawn is standing there with a broken beer bottle glass in her hand. She helps Buffy get up.)
Dawn: Are you OK? (Willow gets up holding the back of her head.)
Buffy: I'm fine, thanks to you. (Buffy hugs Dawn.) Thank you Dawn.
Dawn: It was nothing.
Buffy: No it was... (Buffy looks at Dawn's neck and sees a blinking red light under her skin.) Red, blinking, light, thing? (Buffy lets go of Dawn and looks at her strangely.)
Dawn: What is it Buffy, what's wrong?
Spike: Admit it, I'm growing on you Buffy.
Buffy: Sure you are Spike, like an unsightly fungus.
(Harmony kisses Spike. They began kissing passionately. Buffy rolls her eyes and looks down at her watch. Then she walks up to them.)
