Discliamer: I own nothing but the previous four I've stated!!! All belong to Joss Whedon, almighty GOD!! I only get to play. *Sigh*

Setting: early sixth season of Buffy, early fourth season of Angel, but Connor and Angel get along just fine and Wesley was forgiven. Joyce never died as you can tell.

Thank you as always to my wonderful Beta: Angelus' & Spike's gal, R&R people!!

Spike looked at his lover in shock and frowned, "dying, Xan, you can't die, you're immortal." Xander sniffed and wiped his eyes, "yeah well, seems like I can, seems AIDS doesn't care." With that said he broke down in sobs and Spike pulled him gently into his arms, "luv, why don't we talk to Willow, she mught be able to do a spell or something to get rid of it, sound good?" Xander looked at Spike with a tear stained face and slowly nodded, Spike smiled and stood offering a hand, Xander took it and stood as well. Straightening his clothes Xander marched up the stairs and Spike followed his boyfriend.

Once upstairs Spike watched as Xander plopped into a chair and he faced Willow, "Red, can I talk to you outside for a minute?" Willow nodded and stood, following Spike out to the back porch she faced him, "did you find out what was wrong and what the phone call was about?" Spike nodded and sat on a chair, thanking Willow silently for the spell she had done to make him immune to sunlight, "yeah, I found out, it was the doctor, with the results of Xander's bloodtest." Willow nodded, "so, what were the results?" Spike bit his lip, looking at Willow, "uh, Xan's-Xan's positive." Willow covered her mouth in a silent gasp and Spike nodded, "its a bit much to take in." Willow nodded, "that's why he took off, what's up?" Spike sighed, "I figured the immortalilty spell would hold up, but he might get sick, is there anything we can do, anything a spell to remove it?" Willow frowned, "I think so, I mean I'll have to talk to Sera, Mel, Tara, Ryan and Greg, but I think we might be able to manage something." Spike smiled and she pulled him in for a light hug, she patted his back, "it's okay to cry Spike." He sobbed quietly and tears rolled down his cheeks, Willow smiled slightly, "I'll see if we can do it today, okay?" Spike nodded and followed her back into the house, hoping that Xander would be alright.

Xander looked up at Willow who looked at him sympatetically and leaned over to whisper the situation in Tara's ear. The blonde nodded and leaned over to Greg, Buffy looked at Willow, "what's up Wills?" Willow sat down, "nothing, anothing at-" Xander broke her off by leaning close to Buffy and whispering in her ear, she nodded slowly and gave him a small hug, everyone looked at the blonde slayer and she shook her head, "it's nothing." The six magic weilding people stood and faced Xander, Sera cleared her throat and smiled slightly, "Xander could you, Buffy and Spike come with us please." The three stood and Buffy looked at Joyce, "we'll be back soon, it's just a little spell we have to do, come on guys." The nine walked out of the house and Dawn frowned, "that was weird, probably a present or something."

Walking into the empty Magic Box Willow snickered, "Anya'd kill us if she was here." Xander nodded and faced Greg, "what do I have to do?" Greg sighed, "just take a seat for now, we need to get ready first." Buffy faced Spike who was browsing the shelves of Giles's and her mother's store, "you okay?" Spike faced her, "fine, I'm fine." With a nod Willow grabbed a few jars and a cauldron, she faced Xander and handed him a thick black pillar candle, "sit cross legged on the ground with this." Xander did so and Buffy and Spike hopped onto the counter, they were only witnesses. Slowly the witches and worlocks made a circle around Xander and Willow poured the stuff into the cauldron and dropped a lit match into it, green smoke curled around the room and Spike closed his eyes and could only hope that everything would turn out okay...
