A/n: thanks to the many kind reviews!! Heres the next chapter! I had it almost done to post yesterday, but than my computer restarted itself and I hadn't saved the story yet, so I had to start over. Anyways, another scoobie besides Buffy Spike and Dawn's in this story, comming in the NEXT chapter, promise! Breathe though, Spikes still there. (scared you didn't I!!) Remeber to Review!! :)

"Please please please please!!" Dawn wailed, on her knees at her sisters feet. They had been playing clue for hours now, and it was long past midnight. Spike sat on the couch grinning at the two girls.

Buffy had been lost in her own world the whole time they had been playing the game. She kissed Spike! Twise!! Last time this happened her train went of the tracks. Buffy stoped her thoughts and tried to concentrate on thinkn up a reason to reject Dawn's request, rather than stare at Spike's lips all day.

Dawn spoke, lifting Buffy out of her thoughts permenetly.

"You said if I won I could have anyone I wanted come and live with us! And I want Spike to!! You know he can't live in that dirty old crypt anymore, he's human now!!"

Buffy glared down at her sister. "Ok I was being sarcastic about the whole moving in thing, and you NEVER win at Clue you little cheater!! I know that Spike needs a new place to stay, but Willows very fragile right now, she needs all of our attention, not another person to share it with. And he'd be stuck on the couch, since we don't have a guest room"

"One: I didn't cheat!! Two: We can't give Willow attention if she never comes out of her room! Three: Spike could stay in MY room and I'D take the couch!! Problem solved! Lets hear some more excusues." Dawn replied to her sisters rant.

"I don't mind sleeping on the couch pet, and I'll be so quiet you'd think I was never here" Spike chimed in, and than hit the floor.

"Please please please please!!!" Spike started to beg, as Dawn burst out laughing, than joined.

Not able to resist her laughter, Buffy caved. "Fine, you can stay. But don't go all stalker boy and go through all my stuff. Besides, your helpless now, I didn't want you to stay in the crypt anymore than Dawn did." Buffy added.

"Why pet I didn't think you cared. And I'm NOT helpless" Spike told her, offended and flattered at the same time.

"Yes you are, and I DON'T care. I just don't need demons beating you up and then coming after me".

"Shall we read that letter again luv"? Spike asked her.

"Look we both know what the letter said. And If I didn't I could tell by the way your sitting there grinning like a idiot"!! Buffy snapped.

The way they were fighting it looked like they completley hated eachother. Unless you knew them, than they were just being Buffy and Spike.

"I'm happy. Maybe you've heard something about the feeling Slayer" Spike snapped back, glaring at Buffy.

"Whatever" Buffy spat back lamely as she rolled her eyes.

"Ok ok ok, lets cut the febile banter. Dawn go get ready for bed" Buffy ordered.

Dawn was about to speak when they heard the front door swing open. Xander walked in, his shirt torn. "Buffy we've got....." He trailed off when he saw Spike. "WHAT THE FUCK IS HE DOING BACK!!?!?!!!!" Xander yelled.

A/N: Yes Yes, now were gonna get into the gangs reaction and stuff, bought time huh!?! I might be getting into more plot, like maybe a baddie or something, or maybe Xander just rammed himself into a pole or something, I needed a way to work him into the Summers' house at 1 am. So Im not sure if I should get into a big bad, or just keep it with no threat. Let me know. Remeber to Review!! :) --FS
