Chapter 2.
Buffy and Dawn entered the magic shop holding on to each other. Pretending that Buffy was sick and feeling weak.
"Buffy are you alright," Willow asked concerned
"No" she said, "I don't think I can go with use tomorrow, I think I am going to be sick". Buffy covered her mouth and ran to the toilet.
"Dawn is she ok," Willow asked
Dawn was looking off in the direction Buffy had ran and was smiling "Umm no" she quickly said "Shes been feeling sick the last couple of days probably just a tummy bug"
Buffy came out of the bathroom her face all red and wet. "Sorry guys, I think I should stay here in case it's something serious"
"Come on Buff, you have to come its gonna be great" Xander whined
"Sorry Xander I don't feel up to it"
"Oh great now we are going to lose money," Anya said from behind the counter.
"Dawn could go in my place, is that ok with you guys, maybe if I am feeling better I could come in the second week"
"Sure Buffy we would love to have Dawn" Tara pipped up "If she wants to hang with us oldies"
"Yeah cool it would be better than hanging with Cordy, I think I better get Buffy to the chemist ok guys ill see you tomorrow"
Buffy and Dawn slowly walked out of the shop and headed for the car once they were out of range Buffy and Dawn burst into laughter. "Ok Dawn I owe you big time "
"Don't worry it was worth it hearing you pretending to vomit and the looks on your friends faces was hilarious, xanders eyes liturally bulged out of his head"
"Come on lets go buy you some clothes to say thank you"
Buffy drove to the nearest decent shopping centre and followed Dawn in. Somehow Willow had solved all their money problems with the house but she had been lenient on telling her how. Her father still hadn't shown up but child support still came in so Buffy had a little extra money to spend on her and Dawn. While Dawn ran around ohing and ahhing over clothes Buffy began to mindlessly wonder around. She walked into the mens section and picked up a pair of boxer shorts. Born to be bad was written on them in red that stood out from its black silk background. Buffy began to laugh; they reminded her of Spike. She slung them over her arm. For some reason buffy headed over to the pants section, she found a pair of grey slacks that were on sale and went to look for a shirt. Red no, black mmm, yellow yeah right she thought.
"Buffy where are you" Dawn called walking over to the mens section startling Buffy "I've found what I want, what are you doing" she asked seeing Buffy looking at the shirts.
Buffy looked at her embarrassed. "Umm I thought I would buy Spike some clothes. I know its stupid but I figure it was sorta a thank you present for all hes done, plus he needs some new clothes. I know it's a little late for that but he hasn't been around much you know. I want him to know I really appreciate what hes done" Buffy looked up at Dawn "Ok now I really am pathetic"
"No it's a great idea" Dawn said surprised "Those pants look great and I love the boxers but are you going to get a shirt, you know complete the look"
"I was but I can't decide on a colour"
Dawn looked around and grabbed a shirt off the rack. It was a brillant blue
"That's perfect Dawn it's the same colour as his eyes"
Dawn gave Buffy a weird look
"What, like you don't notice a cute guys eyes"
"Buffy" Dawn shrieked "You just admitted Spike was cute"
" I so did not" Buffy then looked at her meekly "Dawn what do you think of Spike"
"I think hes great, why" she asked happily
"Nothing its just well I have been thinking a lot lately and I really should give him a chance you know get to know him, just as friends mind you. You seem to love him and even the gang have warmed up to him. Were both the odd one out you know no one can understand what we have gone through maybe we are the best company for each other" she said rather quickly
"This is great" Dawn screamed flinging her arms around Buffy.
Yeah Buffy thought getting to know Spike is going to be so much fun I can already see the whips and chains.
