A/N: This is my first fic, I hope that you like it. It is a WIP.
Redefining Love
chapter 1
Buffy took a deep breath and let it out slowly. She had given the potentials the day off. They had been working so hard. The Bringers and the ubervamps had not attacked during the day, so she felt safe letting them have a day off from training.
Despite Giles's outburst, Buffy knew better than anyone that without the chance to blow off a little steam and take advantage of some downtime, they would not be able to face the First and win. If they didn't relax a little bit, they would all be wound so tight that they would snap. Just like Chloe and Annabelle.
She needed the girls in top form, and that wouldn't happen if they didn't get some rest.
So Xander, Willow, and Dawn had taken them to hit the highlights of Sunnydale. Anya and Andrew had gone along as well. The overwhelming boredom was driving them all crazy.
Buffy had begged off, claiming a need for real downtime. No potentials, no teenage girls at all, around.
The last time she had had no potentials around, Spike's chip had started attacking him. Now, she had no other concerns, and she was alone with the blond vampire.
Buffy walked down the stairs into the basement. "Spike, are you awake?" she asked softly as she descended.
"Yeah. Did you need something?" Spike answered.
"Actually, yes", Buffy said as she walked toward Spike. "Can you come upstairs and talk with me?"
Spike looked at her curiously, with a little bit of concern. "Sure, luv." He rose and followed her up the stairs.
