When Tomorrow got back up to her room after writing the letter to Connor she was surprised to see Max there.

"I was so worried after you left last night. I never should have let you come home alone."

"Max, I needed to go home by myself. My parents are having a hard enough time adjusting to what happened last night at my party and at Lorne's without adding what happened between us last night."

"And what exactly did happen? I mean I know that to me it was proof that we would always stay together, but what did it mean to you." Tomorrow walks over and kisses him.

"It meant that I have someone outside my soap operatic family that can be there for me when I really needed someone. Before I met you, when you moved here three months ago, I couldn't imagine that ever being a possibility. I was never going to find someone who was normal and had no attachment to my family that would actually understand that I have all these family emergencies. You are the greatest thing that ever happened to me." As she was leaning in for another kiss, her dad came in slamming Max against the wall. "Dad, remember the house rule of not killing humans, I'd like to enforce that rule right now."

"What is this kid doing in your room?"

"Max was worried about me, after I left last night. He came by to see if I was okay."

"So this is Max." Spike said gritting his teeth, "I can see why Connor and Lorne don't like him."

"Dad, go heat up your morning cup of blood and I'll be right down."

"Fine, but we are going to discuss who is allowed in this room alone with you." Spike said leaving with a last glare at Max.

"So that was your dad, he's strong" said Max rubbing his neck.

"Yeah, sorry about that. You'd better go."

"Can I see you tonight?"

"I don't know. It depends on what my dad has planned for me. He's going to become my personal trainer so he might be taking up a lot of my summer."

"I miss you already" Max said giving her one last kiss as he crawled out the window.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"Tomorrow, I really don't like that guy." Spike said sitting down with his cup of blood at the table."

"Dad, he's great. He's not a vampire, werewolf, demon, or anything else supernatural. He's just a guy who moved to Sunnydale with his Aunt three months ago."

"Doesn't he have parents?"

"His mom died when he was little and his dad is some Military big wig, who is never around. I haven't even met him."

"I don't like him, but I trust your judgment, even though half of it comes from your mom. So let's get started on that schedule."
