Authors Note: This is my very first fanfic ever, so sorry if I made some grammar type errors and such. I got bored and decided what the hey. Please give me feedback. It gives me more inspiration especially if it is of the good

AN 2: All the pairing of couples is what is going on the shows' as of late.

The Day after part 2

"Bloody hell" Spike muttered under his breath. He turned to look at the scoobies and then at Tara who smiled back at him.

"well you see the thing is guys" Buffy said eyeing Dawn "Spike and I are...well..together now" Buffy said sheepishly.

"Wow" Dawn said "This is so cool!" Willow just glared at her.

"Buffy we know that you've been going some things lately but you didn't need to go to spike for comfort we could of given you some" Willow quietly and yet strongly said.

"Not that kind of comfort luv" Spike smirked. which then lead to Buffy smacking him on the arm.

"what did I do?" he laughed. Buffy just gave him a look.

"That's beside the fact guys, Spike loves me and I--"

"Buffy do NOT say you love him" Xander pleaded, cutting her off.

"that's not what I was gonna say Xand, I was gonna say I appreciate it and I like him" Buffy eyed Spike to see what his reaction was. He was just standing there with a solemn face.

"So guess what guys whether you like it or not me and Spike are together...I need to do this, for reasons I don't wanna talk about right now but just please understand there is a reason I like him and its not because he is a sexy vampire...OK?"

"of course we understand Buffy, we all love you and support you" Dawn said as she smiled at her.

Amy chose this as a chance to speak " Well I am gonna get going, I should go see my dad he is still probably wondering where I am, I said I would come by and see him last night but that never happened" she laughed gazing at Willow. Tara caught the glace and raised an eyebrow at Willow. Willow just smiled and shook her head, to say 'no not that' knowing full well that Tara thought that, her and Amy were together.

"Well we'll see ya Amy" Xander said.

"Yea of course, oh and thanks again Buffy for letting me stay here, even when I was a rat"

"No problem" Buffy smiled and Amy walked out.

"Well if things are settled then I am just gonna go get me self some sleep, the slayer and I had a rough night" Spike said winking at Buffy. He then lent in and kissed her on the cheek. glanced one more time at the scoobies, hugged Dawn and started to walk out. He paused when Willow spoke up.

"Spike is staying over?" Willow sneaked.

"Yea is that a problem? Considering it is my house and all..."

"No, no problem just wondering" Willow said

"Spike...wait a minute I'll walk you up" Xander said

"Ooook sure"

Xander and Spike left the room and Buffy let out a breath of air. there was a moment of silence and then finally Tara spoke up.

"well since your all here are you hungry?"

"I know I am" Dawn said. Followed by nods from everyone else. As Tara continued to cook the rest of pancakes Dawn went and set the table.

Meanwhile upstairs...

"Spike I am happy for you" Xander said almost in a whisper as they reached the top of the

stairs. "Thanks mate"

"Not a problem, but it will be if you hurt her in anyway."

" I know that mate and do not intend to hurt her, I love her"

"I know that and that's why I am letting this go on"

"you think you could stop Buffy from doing something she wants to do whelp?"

"No but it wouldn't be hard to make her choose an alternative" Xander said threatenly " again i will say this Spike if you hurt her you will get staked"

Spike just laughed "by you construction boy? Please!"

" No maybe not by me but I am pretty sure that Dead boy won't be happy about this when he hears about it"

"Fuck the poof, he can shove his brooding attitude up his arse!"

Xander laughed at that. He looked at Spike ant thought for a minute. "You know what Spike I don't wanna hate you, I don't think I have hated you for awhile, so what do you say, I just gave you and Buffy my blessings-"

"you call that a blessing" Spike smirked as they came up to the spare room door.

"Yes! But anyway how bout you and I try to be friends?" Spike was taken aback, he didn't know what to say. He wanted to be friends with the whelp. He actually wanted to friends with the whole lot. But he didn't want them to be friends with him just cause he was dating Buffy. 'Oh fuck it' Spike thought.

"Ok then whelp, I don't mind..as long as you don't kill me I can live with that"

"you can't live with that Spike your dead" Xander quipped.

"Whatever!"

Spike moved to open the door when he realized that Buffy hadn't been up here to cover the windows.

"Umm, whelp would you mind going in there before me and covering the windows?" Spike asked

" sure why not...don't want Buffy's new sex monkey to get fried" Xander laughed.

"Thanks mate, I appreciate it"

Xander went in first and covered the windows with some of the blankets from the spare room closet.

"There you go bleach boy, enjoy"

"Thanks again mate"

"No problem" Xander said casually " well I better be getting down stairs smells like the girls are almost done with breakfast"

"ok then" spike said " oh and whelp, glad to know that you approve.."

Xander just nodded and walked away as Spike went to bed.

As Xander entered the dinning room he heard laughing from the girls. They were all seated at the table drinking orange juice. Except for Dawn who had just appeared carrying a tray with plates of bacon and pancakes.

"You guys still haven't said why you came over earlier" Buffy said.

"Well....Xander and I were having very nice sex last night in the Bronze womens' bathroom when Amy and Willow walked in!!" Anya said half-upset, beginning their tale.

"Anya Dawn is in the room!" Xander said blushing.

"Guys I am not a child I can hear this stuff!!!" Dawn growled.

"Sure you are Dawnie...." Willow said " So anyway after some 'eww yucks' from Amy and I we asked Xander and Anya if they wanted to join us"

"And we said yea sure what do you guys wanna do" Xander filled in.

"And I say 'no idea' and then Amy suggests we go to LA.!" Willow said

"We wound up going to this Karioke Bar" Anya said laughing.

"Yea and when we got there, guess who we saw singing on stage?" Xander asked

"who?" Buffy asked

"Dead Boy and Queen C they were doing a duet!" Xander said laughing.

"Oh my..." Buffy said trying to hold back giggles.

"So anyway we each did a number and then we meet this guy named, The Host or as dead boy called him, Lorne" Willow said remembering Xander on stage, trying to repress a laugh.

"He reads people Aura's" Anya said.

"What a Aura?" Dawn asked

"Well I am not sure Dawnie but I think it has something to do with your destiny or something.."

"Oh" Dawn said.

"Yea well according to Lorne each of us has a specific purpose to do good and help the slayer but we each need to accept it fully before we will know our full potential" Xander said

"Does this include Amy?" Buffy asked.

"Yes actually, Lorne said that Amy will face darkness and be tempted to join it but she must not lose faith and trust her instincts" willow replied "that's all she told me.., But anyway the reason we came over to see you was because we wanted to know how you were and thought maybe we could tell you what happened, a kinda make you laugh sorta thing"

"Did Angel say anything about me?" Buffy quietly asked. The thought of Angel singing still hadn't left her mind.

"I almost forgot, Yea, he asked how you were and how you were adjusting and such and told us to say hi for him...so Angel says 'hi"" Willow said quickly.

"Ok then" Buffy said and they all ate. They finished they're breakfast and Buffy said that she needed to go take a shower and then get some sleep. Dawn had no school cause it was Saturday so she decided to go over to Janice's, Xander and Anya headed home and Willow asked Tara to stay so they could talk but Tara suggested that they go to her house so they left and Buffy was all alone in a house with Spike. A very naked Spike she noticed as she checked in on him after her shower. 'Oh well' Buffy thought 'Its' probably better that he's asleep I might be tempted to do something naughty' she giggled and went to bed.

She couldn't get to sleep. She kept thinking about Spike in the next room. 'Damn it' Buffy cursed inside her head. 'Well as long as I'm here I might as well think about the me and Spike thing.' and so Buffy thought. Weighing the pro's and con's of a relationship with Spike.

And finally she made a decision and this time she knew she was making the right one for all the right reasons.

End Chapter 2

he he I just very well be evil you know. LOL. More soon I promise. To all the ppl who reviewed my story so far: Thanks for all those lovely reviews I appreciate it but

I just wanted to add that yes I know that this would never happen in the show, atleast not all of it. But this is just me being creative and as one person said "self indulging". Ofcourse what are FanFic's but peice's of self indulgance, we all write these things because were bored, or have an itch to write, or just plain want to. AND fyi, this is not gonna be all sappy I just happen to think there is a better affect if there is a calm before the storm so to speak.
