Buffy awoke to cold hands shaking her. "wakie upie Slayer" Spike said in a
singsong voice. "What time is it?" Buffy inquired, not yet lifting the
duster from her face. "3 AM" He stated flatly. "and if we don't leave soon
you're walking home in the sun."
"Fine!" Buffy practically shouted. "Just take me home, I'll finish sleeping in my own bed which by the way is actually comfortable" "I have a bed too, luv. I was in it. You coulda joined me" Spike said with a smirky grin. Too exasperated to reply, Buffy hobbled out of the crypt and to the car.
They drove in silence until they came to a big sign in the road. Spike squinted and read it aloud"Road closed for construction" Spike sighed and took an uneeded breath. "little detour" He mumbled to a half asleep Buffy. "Just get me home" She mumbled back with a bit of vehemence in her voice.
Spike took advantage of his chance to annoy Buffy. He slowed down and decided to take the extra long way home. He hummed a Green Day song as Buffy layed her head on her hands and turned toward the window.
After a few minutes Buffy turned back over and stretched. "Snow White has awoken" Spike said dramatically. "Yeah" She said "I'm with an ugly, old dwarf too" Buffy folded her arms over her chest and looked forward. "Where are we going?" she asked cluelessly. "Home" Spike stated slowly, as if she were stupid. "It takes 5 minutes to get there. I've been in this car for like 15" Buffy checked her watch and looked at Spike expectantly.
"Detour" He simply stated. They were approaching train tracks. Spike could hear a train approaching. "I'm not waiting for that" he growled and stepped on the gas. "wha- what are you doing? Buffy said nervously. "Don't race the train, Alive person in the car here, Hello?!" She grabbed his arm. The car swerved and she let go. The train crossing bells were clanging. Spike realized he had alot of ground to cover so he sped up even more. Buffy was totally freaking now. "Spike if you stop now i will never call you names again. for the next month even." "Relax Slayer, I can make it" Spike was calm. He'd done this before. He was even humming as the train approached.
ok, moment of truth, Buffy thought as they were 20 feet from the tracks. She couldn't believe Spike was humming. She realized that this was how Spike was gonna kill her. After all those years of fighting he was gonna hit her with a train! She squeezed her eyes shut. Spike glanced over and smiled. She had her eyes shut. Quickly, he sped up and purposely hit a bump. The car was airborne. It sailed over the tracks. He kept his hands on the wheel so he could regain control once they hit the ground. He wanted Buffy scared, not tossed around in a seatbeltless car. As the hood of the car cleared the tracks he winced at the loud train whistles. They had to be killing Buffy's ears. Suddenly, he felt something ram into the trunk of the car. The car was spinning out of control. He had no idea what was happening or where they would land. Beside him Buffy was screaming her head off. There was a loud crunch, and for both of them everything was black.
Spike opened his eyes slowly. He could feel the blood dripping into them. He remembered what happened and slowly began to move. He sat up and realized his car was upside down in some sort of ditch or ravine. Spike wiped the blood out of his eyes using his sleeve. He grabbed his duster and crawled out of what had been the windshield. Standing up to put his coat on he realized he hadn't seen Buffy in the car. He crouched and looked into the car. No Buffy. He stood up. "Slayer" he called. No answer. Spike was a little panicky now. walking around the car he found her. Lying about 5 feet away, out cold. Spike rushed to her and checked for injuries. There appeared to be nothing but a small cut on her head. He realized how mad she would be when she woke up. She told him they would crash.
Sunrise was rapidly approaching. Spike gathered Buffy in his arms and started briskly walking to her house. He could check the damage on his car later. When he didn't have the threat of becoming toast.
Halfway there, Buffy wiggled and started to wake up. "You ok, Buffy" Spike asked, not stopping. She looked at him. "I'm alive?" She asked softly. He snorted "Yeah, I guess you are. Sorry 'bout the car wreck. I overestimated." "I can't believe you tried to kill me." Buffy said. "That wasn't intentional. I like seeing you scared, is all. I've done that millions a times before. I messed up this time. It was a mistake. An what do i get? a broken car and a brassed off slayer" Spike walked more quickly. He was getting angry and didn't want to set off the chip by hurting her again. "I still think you tried to kill me" Buffy replied. "Think whatever you bleeding well want" He grumbled.
He marched up her walkway. He entered the house and deposited her or the couch. "bye now" he said. "Aren't you gonna carry me to my room" came her small voice. "I still have a sprained ankle" "FINE!" he grabbed her and practically ran up the stairs. He dumped her on the bed. The sun peeked over the horizen as he turned to go. "Bloody Hell. Now I'm stuck here. I'll be in the basement out of your way" Spike said to Buffy. When he reached the door he heard "Thanks for taking me home" Spike smiled as he walked down the hall. She'd never know how welcome he was.
"Fine!" Buffy practically shouted. "Just take me home, I'll finish sleeping in my own bed which by the way is actually comfortable" "I have a bed too, luv. I was in it. You coulda joined me" Spike said with a smirky grin. Too exasperated to reply, Buffy hobbled out of the crypt and to the car.
