Anya pushed the door to the Magic Box open, and watched if fall right to the ground. The shop was still a disaster, and it only depressed her more. Giles had stayed to help with the clean up, and to help Willow with everything she was going through. He was already in the shop when she entered.
"Good morning" Giles whispered glummly, as he bent down to pick more of the merchendise off of the floor.
"Hey" Anya replied placing her bag on what *used* to be the counter top. The two continued to clean in silence, like they had every day for the past few months. The shop looked better than when the had started, but it was no where near being open again. Sighing, Anya tossed some papers into the trash can, and continued to help Giles clean.

Buffy forced herself to stop the tears that had been falling all morning, before Dawn came in and found her like this. After making sure she could show her face without concerning her sister, she made her way downstairs where she spotted Dawn clicking through the chanells of the TV.
"Hey Dawnie" Buffy said, a little *too* cheary.
"What are *you* so happy about!?!" Dawn snapped, not taking her eyes of the TV screen.
"Lets not do this again Dawn" Buffy replied, running a hand through her hair.
"Why not!?!" Dawn said turning to her sister and clicking the TV off. "You know you should have gone after him!! The *second* you found out you should of went, or at least send someone to go find him!" Dawn continued, standing to face Buffy.
Dawn had been bratty since Spike had left, yelling that Buffy should of brought him back, even though she was busy preventing yet another apocalypse. Sighing, and seeing no way out of yet another spat, Buffy took a step foward and began to speak.
"Look, I KNOW you miss Spike, Dawn. But thats not excuse. You know very well that I was busy protecting you, and everybody else! Willow needed us more than Spike does. What was I supposed to do!?! Drag him back kicking and screaming!?!!!! I might not have even been able to find him!"--
Dawn cut Buffy off.
"But you COULD OF LOOKED!!! Could of cared enough to WANT to find him!!!! So concerned about everyone that ISNT Spike!! He LOVES YOU! Why can't you see that Buffy!!!!!!!! How could you just let another one walk away! We could of used Spike in the fight!!!!!"
Dawn was screaming at Buffy now, and was about to continue her rant when she heard a pound on the door. Sighing she ran up the stairs and into her room, slaming the door, knowing that Buffy would use a visitor as a way out of their fight.
"This ISNT over!!!!" Buffy called out to Dawn, as she walked over to answear the door. Predicting that it would be Xander, she talked before even glancing at who was there.
"Look Xan where gonna have to--" Buffy stoped her voice and her thoughts as green eyes met blue. Forcing her jaw to move Buffy squezzed out the only word that her mouth would say.
"Spike!!!??!"
