Disclaimer: Oh...you know I'm really Joss, I'm just trying to fool you all
with my Spuffy happiness...see...I believe in happy endings...really I
do... No...sadly I'm not Joss, nor do I own Buffy, and even sadder, I don't
own Spike. *Tear*
A/N: I had originally planned for this to be a one part story but I was inspired by my reviewers. Thanks for your love, it makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. For now I'm keeping it in Xander's pov, which means more Xander/Anya love, but there will be hints of Spuffy. From this point on I'm making up my own stuff, I won't be following the show. I'm sorry but it will there will be Buffy/Riley for a little while, I'm just going to phase him out. That and that give me much opportunity for Riley bashing.
Distribution: If anyone wants it for their site, I'd be honored, just let me know where it's going so I can go gawk at it.
Things to know: Ok, in this one we don't know Tara (yet, I might try to bring her in), Riley and Buffy know who the other is (her a slayer, him a Commando) Spike is still with him and is still kept in the bath tub on occasion. I know I've messed the whole season up but it's my story so ha!
Xander stood in front of the glass case, peering inside to chose from various brands of donuts. He was the donut provider, on a mission to find the best donuts he could.
"I'll take three glazed, four cream filled, and two with sprinkles. Heavy on the sprinkles." Xander liked his sprinkles.
He paid and left for Giles' house, ready to feed the Scoobies, one vampire who doesn't really deserve any donuts, (he'll probably try to take a sprinkled one) and Riley.
He was attacked by a hungry Willow at the door, getting the box taken directly from his hands.
"Geez Will, could've just asked."
"Sorry." She mumbled around the glazed donut in her mouth.
A large crash from the bathroom quieted everyone, and they each stopped from what they were doing. A quick survey of the room revealed to Xander that it must be Spike and Buffy who were making the noise. Giles winced at the sound of his property being shattered.
"They're not having sex again, are they?" Riley awarded Xander with an angry look. Xander didn't understand the meaning of a "touchy subject".
"No...but I think they need to. I have found that the act of sex is most pleasurable AND solves all anger problems." Anya announced brightly, looking to Xander for reassurance. He just covered his face with his hands and sighed. Some things you just can't change. Anya's bluntness being one of them.
"It wasn't me!" Yelled Buffy from the bathroom.
"Right, and I just magically became unchained, went across the bathroom to the sink, and then threw a glass at myself. Really!" Spike yelled back at her.
"Ah, foreplay." Anya said cheerfully. Riley groaned, stood up and began pacing.
"Don't they ever stop?" Riley asked pleadingly, looking desperately to everyone in the room.
"I haven't ever known them not to fight. As memory serves, I do believe they fought even whilst being engaged and married." Giles answered when everyone else had remained silent.
Buffy and Spike finally emerged from the bathroom. Buffy brightly bouncing in, stopping in front of her boyfriend to give him a light kiss on the lips. Spike rolled his eyes at the display and flopped down in the comfy chair in the corner. Buffy gave him a hard look.
"No." She told him, hands on her hips.
"No? Didn't know I had asked a question, Slayer."
"You are the evil, soulless vampire. You don't get comfy chairs."
"Who says?"
"Me! What if I want to sit down. Maybe my legs are tired, and I want to sit in a nice cushioned chair."
"Well you could always sit with me, pet." He patted his thigh for good measure, his tone becoming slightly seductive. Riley looked in-between to two in horror.
Buffy just looked at him without answering. Something had flashed in her eyes before the well known anger was seen there. Xander thought she was probably remembering her time with him, whether it be a good thing or a bad one.
"Just.shut up Spike." Buffy said in a huff and sat down on the coffee table next to Riley. Spike just smirked at her. Pleased to have won.
"Well.." Giles cleared his throat, "we are all here to research for a demon that has been terrorizing Sunnydale for the past few days. Buffy has described him as being roughly Riley's height, so that makes him about 6'3". He was green, slimy, and had yellow eyes."
"And he eats kitties." Buffy included, looking sad at the loss of innocent cats. This provoked another eye roll from Spike.
"Yes, well, he does that too. But what we need to do is find out more about him and then stop him." Giles continued after Buffy's interruption.
"I could get my men on it, have them search the area." Riley announced, standing to tower over everyone else. Xander was slightly surprised that Spike hadn't made any comments yet.
"No Riley, that's ok, really, this is what we do. We find demons and get rid of them. My destiny and everything."
"But Buffy."
"You heard her Solider Boy. I don't know why you think you're so high an' mighty. Didn't know it was your callin' to fight the nasties of the night." Spike stood from the chair and stalked over to Riley, getting up into his face. "Why don't you go lift some weights, then maybe you could be almost as strong 'ere as the whelp." His voice had reached a lower octave, becoming threatening.
Xander looked up surprised.*Spike had just said that he was stronger than Riley* He tried not to look to happy. Anya's hand on his thigh kept him from doing so.
"Is that so? Don't see you being able to fight. You neutered vampire." Riley threw back.
"Boy, I 'ave been killing, maiming, and fighting long before you were born. Long before you grandfather was born. I know a little bit about strength. And I reckon that Buffy knows a 'ell lot more than you do as well. She's been doing this since she was what? 14? 15?"
"15." Buffy answered, slightly relieved that it was Spike having this conversation with him rather than her. He really did need to lay off.
"15. When you were 15 you were just a little mammas boy. Still wet behind the ears. 15..Girls that age shouldn't 'ave to come into contact with things like me. But she has, she did, and so will others. She 'ad to grow up at a young age, and 'ere you are, in college, and you don't even act as old as she did when she was 15."
Riley looked coldly at Spike before backhanding him across the face.
