I think it's sweet. Willow and Xander don't totally agree with me, but I think it's sweet, Buffy and Spike being together. Two months ago, I was ready to tell Buffy that she was just being crazy, that it was just gonna be Angel all over again, especially with the whole Spike-being-a-vampire thing. I didn't want her to get hurt the way she did with Angel. It used to suck having to listen as she cried herself to sleep…

Spike doesn't make her cry though. I know that her going out with Spike won't be like it was with Angel. Spike seems more likely to dust himself before he'd even think about hurting Buffy. Not only that, but he's definitely not the type who'll just walk out on her like Angel, Parker, and Riley did.

At least Buffy finally seems happy. With Angel, she was always crying; every day was like the end of the world, especially when he lost his soul. He loved her, and she loved him, but things were just too complicated.

Riley was a good guy. He could make Buffy happy, and she meant the world to him. But they couldn't work it out. I guess she was just scared that he'd leave her like Angel did. She was afraid to get too close. And, well, in the end, that's what happened, so I guess Buffy was right, which sucks, because I really did like Riley. Even though he always called me 'kid'.

But Spike's different. Spike will never leave her. He won't wake up one night and decide that she isn't good enough for him, or that things just can't work out. He loves her too much. For Spike, any love or affection that she can give him is enough. As long as he knows its there, I'm guessing that's he's one happy vampire.

All it takes is one glance at him when he looks at Buffy. If it's hard for me to believe that Spike is absolutely in love with my sister, I just have to watch his eyes when he looks at her. They just kind of soften as he glances over her entire body from head to toe. Sometimes he calms to the point of actually being helpful at Scooby meetings.

Okay, so maybe Buffy should have at least tried looking around. Maybe she should have gone for someone a little more… human. But it doesn't matter what I think, and it doesn't matter what Xander or Willow think either. Spike is exactly who Buffy thinks she needs, and no one is going to change her mind about that.

Uh oh, it smells like my lunch is burning!
