TIMELINE: Season 6. After Buffy broke up with Spike, but before he slept with Anya. ( I forgot to mention that it's after the wedding, so Anya and Xander aren't together and Anya is a demon but nobody knows it yet)
DEDICATION: To all the Spuffy fans out there!
A/N: I really appreciate all of your reviews.
Redd Summers: Thanks for your input! :) All of the spelling, grammar and capitalization basically suck because English is my second language, and I wanted to see how people reacted to the story before a found a beta reader.
But it seems pretty likable so far, so are there any volunteers for a beta reader? :)
3- Almost.
Buffy slowly put down the body, relishing a small whimper that she'd held for the past five blocks. It was then that she realized how far the Summer's house was from Spike's crypt.
"Buffy?" yelled Willow emerging from her room with Tara a few steps behind her.
"In here Will!"
"Buffy, whats wrong with him?" her little sister asked, tears falling from her eyes as she stroke the vampire's bleached hair.
"I don't know, Dawnie. I don't know"
Willow appeared in the living room, her eyes set on Spike while she walked in.
"Oh my god, what happened?" said the redhead. Buffy wiped her face, fighting away the tears. "We don't know. One minute he's fine and the next he's laying on the ground. We tried to wake him up, but he didn't. And I know something's wrong, I just know it." Buffy rambled as the tears won over. Willow hugged her best friend tightly, shocked by how the slayer was acting. 'She's usually so strong and know she's falling apart. And because of *Spike*' she thought hugging Buffy closely.
Dawn looked up from her spot on the floor. Trying her best to see the scene even dough her weeping became much stronger. "Tara? What are you doing here?" inquired the teenager.
"I- I left some thing's here and Willow was hel- helping me find them" the witch explained briefly.
"What do we do Willow? How do we help him?" Buffy said in between sobs.
"I, I don't know. Maybe we should call Giles."
"Not so fast doll." The four girls turned back to see a familiar immortal demon leaning against the wall.
"Whistler?"
"In the flesh. Ya miss me?"
"Whats going on?" Willow asked staring at the man standing in front of her.
"English has his own problems to deal with. You kids can handle this on your own. Well, with a little guidance." He responded cockily.
"What did they do to him?" Buffy demanded, rage building up inside her.
"The Power's that be had no play in this. There actually the good guys in this one. Even sent me down to help."
"Help with what!?" she screeched in annoyance.
"Look slayer, you gotta choose. I cant exactly go into detail here, but I can say this. If you don't help your pal there's no way he's coming out of this trance."
"Fine. Do something, heal him."
"Not so fast. If your busing saving his ass, the world as we know it *could* change."
"How?" she asked almost panicked.
"That would be one of the details!"
Buffy looked down at Spike. He seemed so powerless, like a small child. She then looked at Dawn, the sight of her little sister in tears made her heart weak. She looked at Willow and then at Tara, they're faces we're full of fear and sorrow. Finally she looked back at Whistler.
"Help him."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ "How about you blow him up from the inside out ?"
"No, to messy"
"Making him shrink until his so small you can squash him with your shoe?"
"Not messy enough!"
Halfrek banged her head against the table showing her desperation. "Anyanka, we've been at this for days. Just pick a punishment for the pest and go with it!"
Anya ran a hand trough her long blonde hair and sighed. "It cant be just *any* punishment Hallie. It has to be special. Xander left me. ME. He treated me like I was some kind of trash, of dirt, of. of."
"Human?" Anya closed the large book she had been researching and walked behind the counter of the store. "Not all humans are bad. Just Xander"
The door of the magic shop opened slowly revealing Alexander Harris walking carefully towards the two vengeance demons. He stopped in front of the counter as both women gazed at him. Halfrek had a look of disbelief and Anya just stared at him with hate.
"Hi" he whispered.
"um. I'll be going now. We'll talk later Anyanka" Halfrek grabbed her handbag and left.
" Anya Im-"
"What do you want Xander?"
"Anya im sorry! I never meant to hurt you."
"But you did!" Anya screamed. Then she heard the door open again and was about to tell them to get out, when she saw a desperate Dawn rushing in with Buffy, Willow and Tara holding a lifeless Spike and an unfamiliar man she could sense was a powerful demon.
"What happened?" Anya said as she helped them place blonde down.
"Did ya kill 'em? Is he dead? Why isn't he all dust?" Xander mumbled trying to hide the concern from his voice.
"Xander shut up!" said the Slayer. "He's not dead. I mean he's dead, but he's undead." She looked at Whistler. "Right?"
The guide nodded. "Who are you?" Xander asked.
"Whistler's the name. Im here to guide ya." Anya looked down at Spike and then back to Whistler. "Guide us? You mean into..?" she pointed at Spikes head.
Whistler chuckled. "That's right. Say, aren't you Anyanka?"
"yeah"
"Im your biggest fan! I just loved the hole 'plunge em all together' thing back in '43" he clapped his hands together in demonstration.
"Thank you! You know, I was really proud about that one. The girl that summoned me wanted to-"
"Anya!" it was Willow's turn to interrupt. "Could someone please explain what's going on so we can help him!"
Xander was taken back at his friends reaction towards the vampire. The Summers sisters we're bent down attempting to make Spike comfortable. Tara smiled at Willow in approval and the two demons both went into business mode.
"Listen up Scobbies. There's only one way to help the vamp here. Going inside his head"
Both Willow and Tara looked stunned. Dawn, Buffy and Xander had no idea what was happening. "Y-You Mean..?"
"Yup" Buffy stood up facing Whistler. "Inside his head? What do you mean?"
"Inside his head, his mind, his subcounsious. Whatever. The point is all of ya have to go in and help him."
"Help him what!? What's happening? "
"Look Slayer I'll brake it down for ya. Something big is coming. This something wanted chip-boy out of the way so they did *this*-" he pointed to Spikes body. "to him. Now he has less then 7 days to snap out of it or he'll spend all of eternity stuck in there"
"That doesn't sound so bad."
"XANDER!" all five girls yelled. "Go on" said the slayer after a small pause.
"Now you've got to go in and help him." He saw Buffy open her mouth and he raised his hand. "Don't ask how! You'll know when you're there. You have to go, *all* of ya. I'll be there to help but chances are I'll disappear from time to time."
"What? The guys up there give you extra hours."
" You've got my full time slayer. But since we're going in his head he will only see what he already knows."
"Wait a second! Go back to the *all* thing!" said Xander.
"All of ya! Slayer, key, withchy-witch, Anyanka, the redhead and YOU. It has to be the six of ya or it wont work!" the demon answered.
" Oh no. There's no way you're getting ME inside HIM!"
Dawn got up and walked to Xander's side. "Please" she said softly not taking her eyes off of Spike. "Please. If not for him then for me".
"And for me" said Buffy. The three other girls nodded. Xander looked at his friends and sighed. He put his hands up in surrender. " Fine, I'll do it"
"Okay Kiddy's let's get started."
