Author's Note: Sorry this is so short (and took me longer to get done :-) ). Hopefully I'll get the last part finished by tonight. Thanks for all the reviews, I was really unsure about this fic, please keep r/r.
Previously on Buffy the Vampire Slayer:
Spike glared at Buffy "What do you have a better idea?" *God, I worked it all out and now she's just going to moan at me*. "Spike you're right okay!", Spike grinned "Always am luv". Buffy groaned again, her head still buried in her hands. "What pet?". "Do you know what story we're in Spike?" Buffy asked looking up. "No? Spike ventured. "Look at us, I'm a servant, and you're a Prince". Spike's jaw dropped "We're in Cinder-bloody-ella".
Spike just stared at Buffy. "Well…" he said clearing his throat "We've got to end it….how do fairy tales normally end" *Oh God, tell me I've got it wrong they can't all end with…* "A kiss" *Damn* though Spike. "I'm not kissing you" Buffy and Spike both declared at the same time, and then proceeded to glare at each other.
"Truce?" Spike ventured after several minutes of silence. "What?" asked Buffy wearily. "Neither of us kill, or attempt to kill the other until we get out of here. Besides I'm pretty sure the Prince and Heroine killing each other doesn't count as a happy ending" Spike smiled wryly. "Fine, okay, but how are we going to end the story?" sighed Buffy.
The carriage pulled to a halt outside the castle, ending their conversation. Buffy peeked out from between the curtains covering the windows. "Wow, you live here! Men always get the better deal" Buffy grumbled. "It's never rich woman, pauper guy is it" she grumbled. Spike just rolled his eyes. "Slayer, you stay here and then sneak out later when no-ones looking" off her look "You can't just get out the carriage, you're not even meant to be here" he reasoned "meet me in the vegetable garden at 2, okay?" Buffy just waved him away.
Vegetable Garden 2:30
"Where the hell have you been?" Spike growled at her. "I don't have a bloody watch" she mimicked him. "Look Slayer.." he said threateningly. "Truce remember" Buffy replied hastily. *I really have to stop making him mad or we're never going to work out how to get out of here.* "So we have to kiss" said Buffy trying to remind him why they were meeting in the first place. "That should get us back" Spike grudgingly agreed. They turned towards each other both glaring at each other. They slowly bought their lips together, keeping their eyes wide open in case the other made a killing blow. As soon as their lips touched they both pulled back. *Wow, that has to be the most uncomfortable kiss of all time* Buffy thought.
"Still here" remarked Spike. "Try again and this time lets try to act in love" Buffy suggested. Spike rolled his eyes "Oh…." "Elizabeth" hissed Buffy "Elizabeth how much I do love thee" he drawled. "I too love thee Prince William" Buffy yelled dramatically causing Spike's smirk to grow. "Now just pretend I'm Drusilla or something; this has to look real, we need to get out of here" Buffy whispered. Spike glowered at her "Fine but if you imagine I'm bloody Angel I'll rip your throat out". He retorted trying to shake the image of Drusilla and Angelus together.
Spike placed his hands on Buffy's upper arms and pulled her sharply towards him. They stopped about half a foot apart. Spike bent down to capture her lips, with all the passion he could muster. Spike's hands slowly started to slide down her back pulling them closer together, as Buffy's fingers entwined in his hair, pressing him closer to her. His hands slide further down to her butt, lifting her slightly off the floor.
Suddenly they pulled back and turned away from each other, both panting heavily. *Shit* Spike thought. He looked down, he really needed his old clothes back, these really didn't hide the affect she'd had on him, he thought running his hands through his hair. * Oh God* Buffy thought. *Spike's hands were on my butt*.
She looked around her surroundings, "Spike it didn't work" she said, still not turning around to face him. *Worked for me* he thought, but instead he replied "Guess not pet, seeing as we're still here an' all".
"William, what is the meaning of this?" a shout came from across the garden. They turned to see Giles striding towards them. "You are the crown prince of France, my son, I will not have you cavorting with servants!". "Giles is your father?!" Buffy whispered to Spike, unsuccessfully trying to hide her smirk".
Spike glowered at Buffy. "She's not just a servant" Spike replied hotly. Then suddenly remembering how the fairytale ended; he said "She's going to be my wife, we shall announce it at the…..er….ball on Sunday". Spike grinning widely pleased to have thought of a way to bring the story to an end, turned to see Buffy staring at him eyes wide with shock.
