"Good day everyone. How is every little thing?" Buffy bounded into
the Magic Shop with a huge grin on her face.
"Ugh, Buffy, I thought we discussed that any more than one cup of coffee in the morning is one cup too many," Xander groaned, squinting his eyes in her direction.
"I'm going to have to go with Xander on this one," Giles said. "Your behavior this morning is quite peculiar. This is very incongruent with your normal personality at this hour."
"Translated in english, what's the deal with the perkiness," Xander joked.
"Ok, give us details Buff," Willow said.
"Details on what?"
"Give it up. Who's the guy?" Anya asked bluntly.
"Wow Anya, I love how you can just ask stuff like that without even a single transition word," Buffy teased.
"Come on," Willow pleaded. "I haven't seen you this peachy since, well, the "A" word."
"Willow! No reason to be vulgar," Xander gasped.
"You know who I'm talking about. A certain vampire with a soul?" Willow reminded him.
"What? There's no vampires. No vampires at all," Buffy started ranting. She looked around the room at all her friends stares. "What were we talking about again?"
"Who is this guy Buffy?" Willow demanded.
"Well, he's just someone I ran into on the job. I'm not sure where it's going yet. We didn't really like each other when we first met and we're only now starting to get to know each other last night. Nothing really happened yet. He's good looking, and moody and interesting," she said. "Not to mention undead," she whispered under her breath.
"Sounds hot," Anya said.
"Anya," Xander scolded.
"Well, I, for one am so happy to see you so taken, especially after the whole Riley thing. I'm so excited. I'm going to have to meet this Mr. Wonderful," Willow encouraged, giving her a pat on the shoulder.
"Yeah," Buffy sighed, cracking open a book. "He is pretty amazing."

Spike lay awake in his crypt. It was bright outside and he knew he should be asleep but he couldn't. Dru lay to the side on his bed and he watched as her stomach rose and fell with every breath. She was still a bit weak and shaken from the night before. "Poor Dru," he lamented as he watched her affectionately. He felt somewhat guilty that he felt these strong feelings for Buffy while he had promised himself to Drusilla. Spike knew that it would take Buffy forever to realize what she wanted, but every time he saw her he went crazy. Now that he knew there was a possibility she returned his affection, his love for her was only heightened. Spike waited and listened to Drusilla breathe until he finally drifted off to sleep.
