Later that night Buffy and Willow went over the options of what could be done while eating a cheese pizza. They sat on the couch in their pajamas with a notebook and their ballpoint, sitting there trying to think of ideas for half an hour when Willow finally spoke.

" We're getting nowhere Buff, maybe we should get some help."

"Who are we gonna ask, everyone's gone."

Just as she finished speaking Dawn came down stairs and went towards the door. In unison both Buffy and Willow said :

"Where are you going?"

Dawn ignored them and went to open the door. She then walked into the living room with Spike at her side. Buffy got up and asked what he was doing there.

"What's the matter goldilocks, too much pride to get the Big Bad's help?"

"What do you want?!"

He got next to her and whispered "you know what I want" then in a normal voice he answered "But for now I'm here to offer my services. The Nibblet here said you needed help with the social worker problem and ...."

Before he finished Dawn interrupted, "About that, I have figured out the perfect plan.. but I need the both of you to cooperate."

Buffy was curious. *What's this 'perfect plan' and why does it have to involve, of all people, Spike?*

"Hello, earth to Buffy, you there?"

"Sorry Dawnie... so what's this oh so perfect plan of yours?"

"First you have to promise you won't bitch and that you'll actually think this through."

All together they agreed "promise."

"Well, from what I heard, the only reasons I would be taken away are that you don't have an income and that you aren't married."

"Tell us something we don't know Dawnie."

"Hold on. Ok, as I was saying, for me to stay Buffy needs an income and a husband, so I was thinking... Well, we can look on the web for job interviews and......(Mumbling) You can marry Spike"

Spike with his vampire ears heard what she mumbled and a smirk grew on his face.

"Repeat that, you know you can't be understood when you mumble." Willow said.

"Yeah Will's right, and why are you so cocky?" Buffy said pointing her finger at a smiling Spike.
