The Given Gift
"Spike and Angel left, I'm dead, I'm a ghost and to top it all off I'm going to be buried in the world's ugliest black dress. Now the heavens will open up on me… I said the heavens will open up on me. Oh well, Spike, Angel wait up.'
Buffy started to run after Spike. She walked through the wall of Spike's crypt. She saw Spike sitting on his sarcophagus, drinking pig's blood, listening to the cd that Buffy and Dawn gave him for Christmas. Buffy decided to make herself visible.
"Uh, hi Spike."
"Bloody hell, you're dead."
"That and a ghost."
"So let me guess, you came to haunt me for all of the innocent people I killed?"
"No, I don't know what I'm doing here. All I know is that I jumped off of Glory's tower Got out of, well, me and saw you mourning with the others."
"Well Pet, that's a new one."
"Don't tell anyone. Not even Dawn."
"That's just fine with me Pet."
"Could I have unfinished business?"
"Possibly. Can't be you being the Slayer."
"I know. Then there would be hundreds of other ghosts. I forgot to ask you to take care of Dawn if I died and I did."
"Would have anyways Pet."
"I was wrong. The hardest thing in the world isn't living in it; it's being a ghost in it."
"Don't worry love."
"Well the sun isn't coming up for a few hours so let's go out and stir up some mayhem."
"I'm really starting to like this new Buffy."
"Gee, thanks for not liking my former self."
"I still do Love."
"Spike, I'm sorry for being rude to you when I was alive."
"I still love you."
"I want to be with you forever."
"That's fine with me love."
"Spike, the fun, the mayhem, all of that's waiting for us," said Buffy as she slipped through the wall. Then she popped her head back through. "Come on."
