DISCONTINUED! I have decided to stop writing this fic for several reasons: first, I am no longer part of the BtVS fandom (it's lost my interest); second, it's taking too long; third, I have no plot for it. This story will be deleted once I return from my holiday in Turkey.

Summary: This is a story set in season four of Buffy the Vampire Slayer,
in place of the episode 'Something Blue'. Giles gets so tired of Buffy and
Spike's never ending fights that he seals them into the house. They're unable
to leave until they are at least on friendly terms with each other. Giles' idea
may however not have been the most intelligent thing he ever did, because Buffy
and Spike form an alliance against Giles' possessions and his reputation. That
wasn't quite how Giles had expected
it to go.
PROLOGUE
Buffy and Spike are yelling at each other. Giles
concentrated on what he was doing. Buffy and Spike are fighting. Giles
tuned them out. Buffy and Spike are breaking down my bathroom. Giles
sighed and gave up on trying to ignore the two.
"Giles, I accidentally staked Spike," Buffy called from the bathroom. Three
seconds later Spike followed, mocking Buffy. "Giles, Buffy slipped and hit her
head against the tub. She's not moving. I think she's dead".
"Behave, you two!" Giles yelled back. Giles could enjoy blissful silence for
three minutes.
"Oh, bite me. Oh, my bad, you can't do that…"
"I'll find a way."
"Really? You couldn't even catch a cold!"
"Are you so narcissistic you think I'm a mirror?"
Giles couldn't take it anymore and came barging into the bathroom. He had a key to Spike's chains in his hand. He unchained Spike, and took the Slayer and the Vampire each by an arm and dumped both in seperate rooms. He didn't even bother to lock the door. They would both be too busy screaming to notice that they could just walk out the door. Giles soon found out that was a bad idea. They now had to shout through a wall and they were even louder than before.
With a frustrated sigh, Giles grabbed his coat and said that he was
going to go shopping. He'd been playing with this idea for a while now and he
thought it was time to put it into action. He slammed the door behind him and stood
in front of the door. Giles chanted a spell to make Buffy and Spike sleep.
When he was certain the spell had taken effect, he re-entered the house and
grabbed a pocketknife off the table. He walked back
out and carved an ancient sealing symbol in the door. "With this symbol I seal
this room, until a friendship bloom. This spell now has my blessings, may their
hostile tone speak gentle blessings". Whistling, Giles walked away. He was
headed for Buffy's house, to explain things to Joyce. He'd give them a call
sometime after they woke up. This way, the only damage the two could was to
each other's sanity. He would be spared from further dealings with the
impossible duo.
