2. The Bench

********

There hadn't been many creatures of the night out creaturing (as Xander liked to say) so Buffy was able to head toward her bench a little earlier.

"I love you." She said on the brink of crying. "No you don't. But thanks for saying it anyways." Spike told her praying for Buffy to hurry out of the cavern. 'But I do love you' Buffy thought, pleading Spike to come with her with her eyes. But he stood still and she was forced to leave him to his death.

Every night she thought the same thing over and over. How she hadn't persisted that she really truly loved Spike. How she could have stayed with him until the cavern was a pile of rubble. She thought of all the things she could have said and done, but didn't.

As she approached her bench she saw that someone was already sitting on it. Someone with Bleach Blonde hair. 'Don't get your hopes up Buffy. It's not Spike. Spike is in a better place because he saved the world. There's no way it can be Spike.' Buffy thought. But deep down she still hoped that maybe the Powers that Be had granted her the wish of bringing Spike back.

As she got even closer to the Spike look alike she quietly asked him, "Excuse me, but is there room for two on that bench?" after saying it she felt like a complete idiot.

The man on the bench swiveled his head around towards Buffy. What she saw made her stop dead in her tracks. It was as if all of her dreams had come true because when the man turned his head towards her she knew it was Spike. Every feature on his face was just as handsome as when she had last seen it. Even the scar on his eyebrow was the exact same. She was too stunned to see her lover back from the grave that she didn't even register that he was talking to her.

"Oh, I was just about to leave." He quickly said, obviously embarrassed to have been caught in deep thought. But after seeing Buffy's shocked face he replied "I don't usually have the affect on women I have on you. Is everything all right?" Before she even realized it Buffy said, "Now it is." 'God even his voice is the same with that slight sexy accent that I always loved.'

"Excuse me?" Spike questioned.

"Spike it's me Buffy! I missed you so much; I never thought that you would come back! I missed you so much!" The words just flew out of Buffy's mouth before she could stop herself.

Then the obviously confused Spike returned her rambling's with "I'm very sorry miss but I think you are mistaking me for someone else. My name is not Spike and I don't believe I know any Buffy's. I hope I haven't inconvenienced you in any way?"

Buffy was once again shocked. How could the man that loved her and had died for her not know her? She rushed up to Spike who was now standing. He was wearing a white shirt and black pants, a lot like Angel, only better. Also his hair was messed up, like he had just gotten out of bed, making him even sexier then normal. Also, now that she could see him better she could tell that Spike wasn't a vampire, but a human.

Now that she could see him better in the light from the streetlight she was even surer that the man who stood in front of her was Spike. He looked very confused now and Buffy was heartbroken to see that he didn't know her. What had happened to him?

"If you're not Spike then who are you?" she asked, a good question.

Spike was stumped, he looked down at the ground as if he was trying to find an answer "I actually don't really know right now, but I know bloody well that my name is not Spike! What kind of name is that?"

Buffy was really angry now. She wanted Spike to remember who he was and who she was, "If you come with me I can help you find out who you are. I think you have amnesia or something. I can help you." Spike was obviously thinking out this proposition but then he said,

"No thank-you luv I don't think you can help me." And with that said he walked out of the park.

Buffy was confused and heart broken. She needed help in getting Spike back and she needed someone to talk to. So obviously it was time for some girl talk with Willow
