"Buffy, I, I cannot condone this, this...this behavior is unacceptable," Giles finally managed to get out.


A laugh and the sound of slapping could be heard in the background.


"Do you have any idea as to what you are doing?" Giles asked his Slayer as he took off his glasses and cleaned them for the second time since they had began their conversation before putting them back on.


"Of course I do, what do think I am some three year old stealing cookies out of the cookie jar? I know what I am doing, and you don't have to treat me like I don't," came Buffy's reply.


"Buffy, I can't say that I ever liked Spike, in fact I don't. But he is not like Angel..."


"No, he's not like Angel, Angel needed a soul to keep himself tame; Spike does it on his own, well that and the chip, but he doesn't have to help us and yet he still does. Giles, can't you see this is what I want, this is what makes me happy?"


Off came the glasses again.


"And Giles," Buffy continued, "it's not like I'm going to live forever, I know I'm not going to grow up to be 80, so I should be happy now, when it counts."


"Buffy," Giles tone softened, "I..."


"Oh come on! You're not going to give in that easy!" Xander shouted from the background.


"Shut up, Xander," Willow hissed.


"Buffy," Giles began once more, "I cannot say that I am happy about this, but I cannot see you changing your mind anytime soon."


"Nuh huh," Buffy put in.


"So, I guess that I am just going to have to put up with it, however, your choice in species really does not make me happy." Giles finished.


"Thank you," Buffy replied hugging her Watcher.


A/N Sorry for the short chapter but I have to go to work and I wanted to get this updated before I went. I also added chapter 2 last night to the story (I had a note to fans on it before, but there really is a chapter there now.) So thank you all for reading this I would really appreciate some reviews, so tell me what you think, and where you think I should take this story. Thanks! :)
