Disclaimer: Fine I give up... there is no Joss Whedon...I just hired the
guy as an actor to pose for me. I am the true creator of all that is Buffy.
All bow before me! *Breaks down in tears*
It all belongs to Joss.
The Day After -
Spike awoke that morning in his loves arms, happier than he had ever been. He couldn't believe Buffy truly loved him. She had even mourned for him. He kissed her softly on the top of her head and just lay there, thinking. He simply couldn't fathom it. Him, with a higher reason, it was un-bloody- believable. William the bloody, in love with a slayer, making a difference. Buffy had once told him that she believed in him, that she knew he cold be a good man. He hoped to God that he wouldn't disappoint her right before falling back asleep.
Buffy opened her eyes, and looked over at her alarm clock. It was 11 am. She had slept in for the first time since she got here. She remembered the events of last night, how Spike had come back to her. She hoped to God it wasn't another dream. She turned over, expecting her bed to be empty, and was relieved to see Spike lying there, sleeping. So it wasn't a dream? Thank God. He looked so adorable. She kissed him on the forehead, and got out of bed, deciding to let him sleep.
She got dressed and went downstairs to the kitchen; she hadn't eaten in a long time and decided to make herself some breakfast. She entered the kitchen to find Dawn, Xander and Willow sitting around the table having breakfast and Giles cooking something that smelt really good. "Good, the whole gang is here" she said as she stepped into the kitchen, "I have something I need to tell you guys" she said thinking about the sleeping Spike she had left in her room.
"Buffy! G'Morning!" Xander said stuffing his face with bacon and pancakes. "You have to try some of G-Man's Bacon. It's greasy goodness to die for. There is no wrong here." He said with a full mouth.
"Don't call me that," Giles said without looking up from his pan. "Buffy would you like some breakfast?" he asked her.
"No. Yes. Desperately, actually.... But I need to tell you guys something first. Last night..."
"Oh, did you have another dream about Lucidus?" Willow asked as she stood up to get herself a refill of orange juice.
"Yes, but that's not what I wanted to say...last night..." she trailed off as she saw the stunned look on Willows face staring past her. Buffy looked back; Spike was standing in the doorway. "Hey..." he said wearily, with a little wave.
Xander dropped the bacon he was about to stuff into his mouth, and just stared at the bleach blonde vampire. Everyone was just stared in disbelief
It was Buffy who broke the silence. "Spike's back."
* * *
"So the higher being sent you back? Because you had fulfilled a prophecy?" Giles asked the newly returned Spike as the group sat in the living room listening to Spikes tale of his homecoming.
"Yup" he answered. "A prophecy meant for Peaches, but since *I* fulfilled it they sent *me* back. Higher purpose and all said I had to prove myself." He said feeling very proud of himself.
"And either you or Angel will walk with the Slayer in the final battle against good and evil?" Giles asked, obviously very excited about this new prophecy thing.
"Yup, she didn't mention which one of us would, guess we each have to prove our goodness or something. The bird was pretty cryptic." Spike said.
"They always are" Buffy chimed in. She was sitting on the sofa next to Spike. Very next to him. She never wanted to let go of him. She loved him and she could finally admit it to herself.
"Maybe we should research this, this prophecy?" Willow said from the armchair she was sitting in. "See what we can find out about it."
"Why? What's the point?" Buffy said. "He's here, that's all we need to know." She said, a slight panic in her voice as if she was afraid they would find out it was all a big mistake and take him back. Spike gave her hand a reassuring squeeze. Buffy sighed, "Besides, I want to find out more about this demon I've been dreaming about. I think I know what he is planning."
"You had another dream?" Giles asked interested in what she had to say.
"Yeah and I know what Lucidus is up to. This guy is done with the balancing act, he is going to move in on earthly territory and soon. He is going to open a portal from his dimension to ours and bleed the worlds together..."
"And when Lucidus escapes..." Giles said
"...Wackiness ensues" Buffy finished. "Buckle up guys, looks like we have another apocalypse heading our way"
"AGAIN?!"
