Part 4

"Whelp! Bloody wait up!"

"What do you want, Spike?"

"Where're you goin'?"

"To my apartment. Not that it's any of your business."

"No, you nonce. When you leave. On your great bloody trip. Where. Are. You Going?"

"Away from here."

"I know why you're leaving."

"You do not! Undead liar guy!"

"Do so. Heard you talking with your parents."

"Uh huh. So not convinced here."

"Fine, I'll just go tell Red and the Slayer you're dying then."

"Wait, wait! What do you want?"

"What do I want, he says. What do I want?"

"Well…"

"I wanna go with you."

"Uh uh, no way, Fangless."

"Why not?"

"Cause I'm not taking you with me! That's why!"

"Well, then, I'm off to the Watcher's. TV to watch, secrets to spill, blood to… gurp!"

"You're not telling them!"

"Let go! Why not? You don't like me terms, I'm tellin' on you."

"You can't."

"Watch me, Whelp."

"…"

"Well?"

"Alright, but I'm leaving you with Deadboy. And that's that."

"Ooo! LA, my kind of place."

"Oh my god! Spike just left with Xander!"

"What?"

"Buffy, are you sure?"

"Yeah, I saw them talking near Xander's parents' place. And when I stopped by his apartment later, they were leaving."

"Why is Xander leaving now?"

"I don't know, Willow."

"And with Spike?! This makes no sense."

"Maybe they're living together."

"Well, duh, Giles. Spike's crypt got destroyed AGAIN! Of course they're living together."

"Not quite what I meant."

"Oh, goddess! You think they're… sleeping together?"

"Woah! Xander doing the bump and grind with Spike?! That is so wrong!"

"Well, now that I think about it…"

"Willow!"

"What? I wasn't think naughty thoughts! Honest."
