Thank you so much for your reviews and suggestions. As I promised, I'm gonna have some Spuffy and Xanya in this and next chapter. In this chapter I'm using the tune of "If I Were A Bell" from "Guys and Dolls". Enjoy!


Buffy wondered in the graveyard, bored and tired. She just wanted to get out of the house, be alone to herself. The graveyard was awful slow tonight, and there were hardly any vampires or demons. Well it seemed to be okay. She had a lot of things on her mind. The First, who was probably planning an attack and regrouping, this annoying musical extravaganza which might or might not be Sweet, the potentials living in her house which soon turned into a dorm room, Spike-. The most thing that was on her mind was Spike. She had told him she wasn't ready for him not to be here. But what did that mean? Was it the war she's concerned about and he's the strongest warrior? Did she love him? Buffy stopped in her tracks when she thought of that. Oh my god I think I love-


Buffy's train of thought was cut of by a vampire who kicked her in the face. Buffy fell backwards and attacked the vampire, soon dusting him. There were four more and she ran over where another one was present and kicked him and sent him flying into a gravestone. All of a sudden she saw a certain bleached blonde vampire punching two vampires and dusting them soon.


"Spike? What are you doing here?" Buffy asked Spike who stalked over to her.


"Well thought you could use some help in the good ol' good fight, so I dropped by." Spike said casually.


"Oh well the graveyard seems dead so do you want to go get a drink or something?" Buffy asked looking at him with a hopeful smile. Then realization struck her. Oh my god did I just ask Spike on a date? No not a date just a drink. Yeah just a drink right?


"Sure. Glad to." Spike said returning the smile. Buffy felt relieved. Good, maybe he didn't think it was a date and why am I so worried about this?


"Great. Just don't want to go home with all the potentials right now. Kinda want to escape." Buffy shrugged as they walked towards the way to a bar.


"I get that." Spike smirked and the walked in comfortable silence together.

"And that part were the guys like 'Was like Yay or Nay?' he was like 'Which one means yes?' And Robin Hood goes 'Yay'. That was soooooo funny!" Buffy almost fell out of her chair laughing at her own joke. Spike chuckled and took another swing of his beer. Obviously Buffy was very drunk.


"So you're a big fan of Mel Brooks I see?" Spike smirked and raised an eyebrow.


"Of course! I loved all of his movies! Back in highschool, me, Will, and Xander would always have movie nights and we would always watch movies like that."

Buffy took another sip of her beer.


"You know, I think I'm a little drunk." Buffy giggled and hiccuped.


"Well love we better get back home again. Sober you up." Spike got up to leave but Buffy pulled him back down, grabbing his arm.


"But I don't want to leave. I'm having too much fun!" Buffy stuck out her bottom lip. "Aren't you having fun?" Buffy looked at Spike sugguestfully and that gave Spike the signal to take her back home.


"C'mon luv, I think you had a little too much to drink." Spike got up and took Buffy by the hand to stand up.


"All right. Fine." Buffy stomped out the door and Spike followed her.


Buffy started to spin laughing and looking up at the sky. Spike looked at her total concern and stopped her.

"Spike....you look so good tonight..." Buffy looked at Spike with lust and fire and Spike felt it too.


"How do I look?" Buffy asked curiously


"Beautiful as always." Spike smiled up at her and Buffy stepped closer up to him so their lips were barely touching.


"Spike." Buffy whispered then crushing her mouth with his. The kiss became more passionate and deeper as their tongues danced.. Spike broke the kiss with a confused look and then steadied himself.

"Buffy are you feeling all right?" Spike asked.


"Ask me how do I feel?" Buffy then started to sing.


Ask me now that we're cozy and clinging,

Well Spike, all I can say is if I were a bell, I'd be ringing.

From the moment we kissed tonight,

That's the way I just got to behave.


Buffy started dancing around outside as she sang to Spike with excitement.


Boy if I were a lamp I'd light,

And if I were a banner I'd wave.

Ask me how do I feel,

Little me with my boring slayer feelings,

Well sir, all I can say is if I were a gate I'd be swinging,

And if I were a watch I'd start popping my springs,

Or if I were a bell I'd go ding, dong, ding, dong, ding!




Ask me how do I feel from this chemistry lesson I'm learning.

Well sir, all I can say is if I were a bridge I'd be burning.

Yes, I knew my moral would crack,

From the wonderful way that you looked.

Boy if I were a duck I'd crack,

And if I were a goose I'd be cooked.



Ask me how do I feel,

Ask me now that we're fondly caressing.

Buffy drew closer to Spike caressing his cheek with tender care.


Pal, if I were a salad I know I'd be splashing my dressing.

Ask me how to describe this whole beautiful thing,

Well if I were a bell I'd go ding, dong, ding, dong, ding!

Buffy almost fell on the ground but Spike caught her, luckily.


"Luv, you're drunk. You don't know what you're doing . Now we really need to go home." Spike dragged Buffy by the arm as she reluctantly followed him home.


"God. Who died and made you responsible?" Buffy rolled her eyes and Spike let out a deep sigh.


TBC....
