DISCLAIMERS: I don't own any. Of course, Joss=God.
PAIRINGS: B/S all the way.
DISTRIBUTION: Sure, but first email me so I'll know where this story is going to.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: I thought i would do one more BTVS fanfic before the finale.
Also, this is sorta spoil-ish but I twisted some of the story lines to make it my way. This is basically the events leading up to the series finale and the finale itself in this chapter...plus you get to see what happens after the finale. ::pauses for applause::
Please review, I know you probably hear that 349673946 times but I'd really appreciate feedback, good or bad.

Buffy went to Spike that night, where Angel had come back and they had kissed. She was met with a stony gaze, his azure eyes not revealing any emotion or feeling. After some talking, mostly on her part, she got him to understand that the kiss with Angel had meant nothing. She gave him the amulet that Angel had given her--it was supposed to be worn by a champion to fight off the First Evil.
They had spent the night together again and she whispered her love for him, at long last. He did things to her he couldn't spell again, but it was different this time. The passion and lust was still there but now...there was also tenderness. In the night, they forgot about the world coming to an end, the knowledge that they might not survive to see another moonlit night. The reality was eclipsed by each other.

This was it, the final battle. The Seal had spit out more uber-vamps and the First was gearing up to make that final push to victory. After the first battle, half of the SITs were wiped out before they retreated. However, Willow cast a spell that would allow the two slayers, Buffy and Faith, to share their power with the slayers-in-training. The fighting became a stalemate but there were just too many uber-vamps as they began to overpower the Slayers.
Then suddenly the ceiling of the basement crumpled, spilling light onto the uber-vamps, making them erupt into flames and then disintegrating into ash, their screams echoing off of the walls. It was Spike and his amulet, shooting a bright burst of energy up toward the sky.
Buffy ducked and dodged the debris. Spike, she thought. Dear God, where was Spike? I hope he's out of the light. And then she saw him. Brilliant white light surrounded him, the energy that transferred from the amulet to him. The power that destroyed the roof, killing evil. Buffy vaguely felt the rest of the building crumbling, slowly but surely. All her attention was focused on the man she loved, the man she knew now that she could never live without. She heard Dawn's screams and snapped back into reality.
"Spike," she said urgently. "Come on, we need to go. Take the amulet off!"
"I can't," he said wearily. "It won't come off. This is my fate, my destiny. Everything has consequences and this is mine for trying to be a hero. I love you Buffy. Always. Forever."
Buffy screamed, "Nooo!" her voice in absolute agony. "Spike, I love you so much, so much that I'd rather be souless than live without you. Don't leave me, please, I love you!"
He lifted a hand to caress her cheek. He was warm, she thought in the back of her mind, as they touched for the final time. She interlocked their hands together, feeling energy flow from him to her.
"I love you Spike. Always. Forever," she echoed, her heart in those words.
Spike kissed her. One last sweet kiss. And stepped back.
"Buffy, this isn't goodbye."
Their eyes held each other as Spike began to burn from within.
"No," she cried. "No, please, oh God no."
He mouthed 'I love you' and a bright white light exploded into the heavens, taking Spike with it.
He was gone, she thought numbly. Spike was really gone.
Someone was tugging at her hand. "Buffy, come on we have to go," urged Willow. They made it out of the structure just barely, the building crashing down at their heels.
And she couldn't feel the sharp rocks that had sliced through her skin. She couldn't feel the bruises and cuts that the uber-vamps had inflicted onto her. She couldn't even feel any sorrow for the numerous Potentials that had died. Only one man gave her that kind of strength, that consumed her being, her thoughts, her very soul. And he was dead.
Spike.

A/N: Sorry if that was a little rushed/corny. Yes there will be another chapter. The very last chaper in this story. It will go beyond the series finale. This is B/S, so you don't really think I'm going to end it like this, do you? The more reviews, the quicker I'll have the final chapter up. See now you have an incentive. Review please!
