Buffy smiled as she lay on the floor, Spike spooned against her with his hand resting on her hip. It was Friday night and that meant movie night, or rather video night. After too many arguments over which theater movie to go see the gang decided that a video night would be better. Everyone could at least choose one movie they would like to see and Dawn would be able to join them as well. Buffy was inclined to asking Dawn along with them on gang outings as she now considered her a little sister. Dawn fit into the group really well having known Willow and Xander practically all her life. The gang enjoyed Dawn's company and it made Joyce happy that Dawn was out of her room instead of on the phone. A happy Joyce, was a happy Buffy and a more free Buffy not having to do all the unpaid over time.
Dawn and Buffy's newfound relationship with the gang had ended up with most of the movie nights being at their home. Joyce always loved a house full of people and didn't mind the gang, including the guys, stay over.
Spike rolled over as the movie ended and stretched his back much to Buffy's disappointment.
"Well that was a load of crap. I mean Romeo and Juliet wearing jeans. That's not the way Shakespeare intended it. Can we now watch a manly movie," he asked.
"Yeah cause Monty python is really manly" Dawn quirked.
"Take that back nibblet" Spike warned.
"Would you guys shut up," Willow asked.
Both Dawn and Spike were shocked at Willow's outburst and turned to see her flicking through the channels.
"Umm Red the video goes in the gap that's in the box that's on top off the bigger box" Spike said sarcastically.
Willow shook her head.
"I know that Spike but I am looking for the news. I wanna know if there is any news on that missing girl"
Buffy quickly sat up. "Missing girl" Buffy asked "In Sunnydale"
Willow shook her head. "No, I am not sure where from. Her parents have put out like this nation wide search, there like heaps rich apparently"
"Oh yeah I heard about that" Anya said. "But I think they are having money problems"
Willow held up her hand to stop the talking, when she found what she was looking for.
"Here we have the Parents of the missing girl"
Buffy cringed when she saw her parents on the screen
"We are willing to pay money for anyone who has information on her where abouts" Wesley spoke. "And to the kidnappers out there you will be punished"
Buffy watched as a policeman interrupted her father.
"We would like to inform everyone that there is no evidence that the girl in question was kidnapped"
Buffy watched as Riley came to comfort her parents then turned to the camera to speak. A scowl appeared on Buffy's face when the words, victim's fiancée appeared on the bottom of the screen.
"Elizabeth had a happy life with us, we were going to be married" Riley started.
He then held up a picture of Buffy and her parents on her graduation. Buffy frantically looked at her friends but none of them had noticed. She then turned to Spike and saw him looking at the screen then at her.
"This is just crap" Buffy said getting up and changing the channel on the T.V
"Hey I was watching that" Willow complained.
"Why do you care, obviously ran away from her over protective parents and annoying boyfriend"
"Buffy how can you say that" Willow asked shocked. "Don't you even care about the pore girl"
"Whatever" she said storming off into the kitchen.
The gang looked around shocked, they had no idea what had just happened.
"I didn't do it" Anya piped up. "I haven't mentioned sex for half an hour, so you can't blame me"
Spike got up off the floor. "I'll go talk to her"
"Are you sure?" Tara asked. "Maybe it's a girl problem"
Spike shook his head. "Nah its best if I go, she's my best friend"
The gang watched as Spike made his way into the kitchen. Spike saw Buffy standing by the sink, back towards him, shoulders hunched over sobbing.
"Buffy, luv. Are you alright"
Buffy nodded.
"So Buffy's ok then" he asked.
Buffy frowned at Spike's use of words. "Yes, Buffy is ok" she said angrily.
Spike nodded then turned to leave but stopped.
"So how is Elizabeth then"
Buffy looked at Spike then fresh tears sprung to her eyes. Spike raced across the kitchen and put his arms around Buffy.
"Your Elizabeth aren't you," he asked.
Buffy nodded "how did you know"
"Well from one bleach blonde to another, I have pictured you with natural colored hair. You came here freshly bleached and now you have all your regrowth showing brown."
Buffy managed a laugh "I am so sorry I lied to you, I didn't want to, please don't hate me"
Spike stroked her hair and held her tight. "Shush, its ok"
Buffy pulled back. "No it's not ok, I lied to you, you must really hate me now, I don't want you to, but you have to"
Spike shook his head. "No I don't hate you. Come on lets get you up to your room before everyone sees you blubbering"
Buffy nodded and let Spike walk her out the kitchen. When they past the lounge the gang looked up at him for answers. Spike motioned for Buffy to go on ahead with out him.
"Buffy's just not feeling well. I am going to go look after her ok"
"Maybe I should look after her" Dawn asked.
Spike shook his head. "Thanks Bit but I can handle it. You guys stay here and watch the movie"
"You sure" Willow asked. "Cause we can go home"
Spike shook his head. "Nah its fine"
Spike then headed up the stairs to Buffy's room. Opening the door he found Buffy lying on her bed still crying. Spike walked over to her bed and sat down. After a few moments of silence Spike finally decided to talk.
"So umm that guy on the T.V. your fiancée huh, he seems nice" he barley managed to get it out without anger in his voice.
"He's a wanker," Buffy said finally speaking.
"My sentiments exactly"
Buffy rolled over and looked at Spike. "He's not my fiancée"
Spike was shocked. "But on the T.V. it said"
"Do you see a ring?" Buffy asked.
"Well no I just figured you took it off"
Buffy shook her head. "I am not wearing one cause he didn't give me one. He didn't even propose, my parents just announce at my birthday that we were engaged. I don't even like the guy I just went out with him to keep my parents happy. I didn't think they would go that far, and I wasn't going to marry him for my parents. Maybe Anya was right about them losing money. I mean they started acting weird a year ago then they practically forced me to be with Riley"
"Why didn't you just leave"?
" I did"
"No I mean tell your parents you were leaving"
"They wouldn't have let me. I am 21 but my parents still control me, they would have found some way to keep me there."
"So you ran" Spike clarified
"Yep, if my parents get close I might have to run again, what's Brazil like this time of the year"
"No your not running" Spike shouted.
Buffy looked at him shocked.
"You're my best friend I don't want to lose you"
Buffy smiled. "You still like me even thought I am not who you thought I was"
Spike nodded. "I loved Buffy, what makes you think I won't love Elizabeth"
Spike got off the bed. "Look I think we might have to tell the gang. If your parents come looking for you, you might need them"
Buffy nodded.
"Alright" Spike said starting for the door.
"Spike" Buffy called.
"Yeah pet"
"Can you come back when you're done"?
Spike nodded and left the room. Buffy lay back in her bed. Spike said love. Buffy wondered if he really meant love and if he did what kind. Love like he loved Dawn or different. Buffy had been talking to Dru about Spike. Dru had told her to take the plunge and ask him out but Buffy didn't have the nerve. Every time she would go to Spike would mention them being best friends and Buffy just couldn't do it. When Spike came back the stairs she would ask him to the Bronze or to the movies just the two of them, as a date. Buffy rolled over and thought about what she would say to Spike. Buffy didn't have to wait long; Spike was soon back in her room.
"So any reason you wanted me to come back"
Buffy smiled, she wanted to ask him out "Yeah, I don't want to be alone, I don't feel safe. Would you stay with me tonight Spike?"
Spike smiled. "Of course, you're my best friend"
Buffy sighed well if he wanted to be best friends then Buffy would be his best friend.
