Authors note: This chapter is dedicated to spuffiness and reconciliation between three characters. The last episode got me in the mood for spuffiness. The first song is called "Things I'll never Say" by Avril Lavigne, the Second song is called "Wondering" by Good Charlotte, and the last song is called "Hanging By a Thread" By Nickel Creek.

Luckily Buffy got back before Spike did, and when he had she was watching his television. She had to admit that she was so happy right then. "Because of Spike," she thought to herself.

"Slayer, you want to go some where? I'm feeling restless". He walked into the room; he must have sensed her.

"Yeah, to the Bronze?" she asked him. She hadn't been there in so long. Not since Spike had told her that she belonged in the darkness with him. She had not danced for so long. It would feel good to let all the bad energy goes out of her from the swaying of her hips. He nodded and she got up to get ready. She had time to get her clothes before she left; she wouldn't leave them for Faith or Dawn to wear. She picked out tight black pants and a red top that had no back, only strings. By the look on Spike's face he liked her choice. And weirdly enough that made her happy. They left together arm in arm. "Like we are going off to see the Wizard of Oz," Buffy thought. "Except the Cowardly Lion was a hot, not so cowardly, vampire.

When they got there, there were couples on the dance floor, holding each other close. A familiar slow song playing. Soon though a fast song came on and Buffy got up to dance.

"I'm tugging at my hair. I'm pulling on my clothes. I'm trying to keep my cool. I know it shows."

Buffy knew the song well. It was one of her favorites. "It reminds me of Spike and I," she though. "Whoa, where did that come from?" She noticed him watching her, smiling slightly.

"I'm staring at my feet. My cheeks are turning red. I'm searching for the words inside in my head

I'm feeling nervous Trying to be so perfect Cause I know you are worth it

If I could say what I want to say I say I want to blow you away Be with you every night Am I squeezing you too tight? If I could say what I wanted to see I say I want to see you go down on one knee Marry me today Guess I'm wishing my life away With these things I'll never say

It don't do me any good It's just a waste of time What use is it to you what is on my mind If it ain't' comin' out it's not goin' anywhere So why can't I just tell you that I care?
I'm feeling nervous Trying to be so perfect Cause I know you are worth it I could say what I want to say I say I want to blow you away Be with you every night Am I squeezing you too tight? If I could say what I wanted to see I say I want to see you go down on one knee Marry me today Guess I'm wishing my life away With these things I'll never say

What is wrong with my tongue? These words keep slipping away I stutter I stumble like I've got nothin' to say

I'm feeling nervous Trying to be so perfect Cause I know you are worth it

I could say what I want to say I say I want to blow you away Be with you every night Am I squeezing you too tight? If I could say what I wanted to see I say I want to see you go down on one knee Marry me today Guess I'm wishing my life away With these things I'll never say"

When the song was over Buffy was out of breath as she walked back over to Spike. "Gosh, it feels like so long. Why don't you dance? I get to pick a song and you have to come dance with me, alright?" she told him

"Fine, but I'm not bloody dancing like that. It'll ruin my Big Bad image," he told her smirking

"I think you already did that" she told him laughing. When a rock song she decided to make him come dance with her.

"If you want me to wait I will wait for you If you tell me stay I will stay right through If you don't want to say anything at all, I'm happy wondering

Since I was a young man, I never was a fun man I never had a plan no security in Then ever since I met you I never could forget you I only want to get you right here next to me

Cause every body needs some one they can trust And you're somebody that I found just in time

If you want me to wait I will wait for you If you tell me stay I will stay right through If you don't want to say anything at all, I'm happy wondering

Now my life is changing it always rearranging It always getting stranger then I thought it ever could Ever since I found you I want to be around you I wanna get down to the point that I need you

Cause everybody needs someone that they can trust And you are somebody that I found just in time

If you want me to wait I will wait for you If you tell me stay I will stay right through If you don't want to say anything at all, I'm happy wondering

Don't tell me the bad news. Don't tell me anything at all Just tell me that you need me and stay right here with me

If you want me to wait I will wait for you If you tell me stay I will stay right through If you don't want to say anything at all, I'm happy wondering"

Buffy had to admit that Spike could not dance, at least fast. And he knew that too.

"You were awful," she tells him, laughing.

"Thanks, love, I'll take that as a compliment," he smirks at her and wags his eyebrows. It had been fun, dancing with him. When she was dancing with him she could think of no other place she wanted to be.

"Do you want something to drink, love?"

"Yeah, a screw driver. Thanks".

Spike walked slowly to the bar. When he got there he saw a hooker who was staring at him.

"Fifty bucks, blondie," she said

"Sorry, here with some one," he told her the slightest edge in his voice. He ordered the drinks and left. A fast song just ended and a slow song was about to come on. He put down Buffy's drink on the table.

"May I have this dance?"

"Sure" She got up, obviously a slight bit doubtful. But when they started to dance it felt right.

"There is a kind of emptiness that can fill you There is a kind of hunger that can eat you up There is a cold a darker side of the moonlight And there is a lonely side of love

With you here, baby, I am strong No sign of weakness gone I am hanging by a thread With you

There is a certain kind of pain that can numb you There is a type of freedom that can tie you down Sometimes the unexplainable can define you And sometimes silence is the only sound

With you here, baby, I am strong No sign of weakness gone I am hanging by a thread With you

With you here, baby, I am strong No sign of weakness gone I am hanging by a thread With you"

At the end Buffy's and Spike's lips were locked in a long hungry kiss.
