Everyone was speechless including Dawn. Buffy's head hurt. She couldn't comprehend what Willow had juts said. Spike? Back? How? This couldn't be right. For the past 4 months all she dreamed about was Spike magically coming back. She would run up to him and he would hold her and kiss her and they would be together again like nothing had ever happened.

"Are you sure?" Giles said form the corner

"Yes Angel said that he was patrolling and he found him in an ally, apparently fighting a vampire." Willow finished

Buffy didn't now how to make sense of this but she knew what she had to do. She ran upstairs.

Willow, Giles, Dawn, Xander and Faith followed

"Buffy where are you going?" Giles asked

"To see Spike" She took her stuff form the night stand glad she didn't unpack and stuffed the stuff in her bag

"Yo B wait up a sec you can't just spilt like that." Faith said form the door

"Watch me" Buffy said she had her bag in her hand and was at the door

"Fine then I'm coming." Dawn said

"Yeah me to." Xander said form the back of the room everyone turned to look at him.

"What so Spike and I weren't the best of friends doesn't mean I don't want to see him." Xander said

"Yeah me to, I mean who knows why Spike is back. I can help" Willow said

"I suppose I should come along to." Giles said looking very tired

"Fine then come but were going now." Buffy said and headed out the door.

* * * * * * * LA

"You now what grand pa your stuff looks better on me." Spike said He had changed into some of Angels clothes and was coming down stairs.

"Hey that's my favorite shirt" Angel said.

"Bug of its mine now." Spike said

"Now that's much better." Cordelia was staring at him. She was just noticing how hot Spike really was maybe it was because she had seen him with his shirt of or maybe it was the lights but man he was hot

"Enjoying the view pet?" Spike asked her with that smile of his. Damn he thought I still got it.

She made a face and went to the next room

"Ok so Spike what was the last thing you remember?" Fred said she was practically buried in books.

"Oh come on how many times do we have to go through this?" Spike said impatiently

"As long as we have to." Angel said Spike made a face

"Fred? You would not believe the night we had.." Wesley said but stopped once he saw Spike

"Hey there boys." Spike said and gave a wave

"What.how.what?" Wesley said

"God will you people stop acting so amazed yes I'm bloody back. What's the big deal?" Spike said irritated

"Well last I heard you were a pile of dust." Wesley said

"Yeah well last I heard you were working for the council." Spike said

* * * * * * * AIRPORT

"Yes 5 tickets to Los Angeles, California." Giles told the flight attendant

Buffy went and sat down. The plane wasn't going to leave for another 2 hours. It gave her time to think. How was she going to face Spike the last thing she told him was she loved him and he tried to make it easier for her even then. God what was she going to tell him. Did he even remember? Willow came over

"Hey, how are you doing?" She asked smiling

"I don't know. I have thought about this for 4 months. I wished so hard for him to come back, and now he finally did and it's just."

"Weird." Willow finished

"Yeah I guess. I don't know what to do now. Am I just going to be with Spike now?" Buffy asked herself more than Willow

"I don't know but there must be some pretty good reason why he is back." Willow said

"Yeah..."

* * * * * * * LA

"Damn sun." Spike said

"You just came to that conclusion." Weasly said

"Bug off I don't think you know what I went through." Spike said

"Like you do." Angel said

"Its going to be sun down in a while we better get ready for tonight." Angel said

"Ahh good then." Spike said looking happy

"What makes you think you're coming?" Angel said

"Oh don't give me that of course I'm coming. You need me." Spike said with that oh to familiar confidence.

"Really because I remember me saving you from that vamp." Angel said

"Oh hell, that was just a lucky break I could have taken that guy any time. Besides peaches you were looking a bit rusty out there."

* * * * * * * VAN

The plane ride was hell for Buffy. She had tried to sleep but when she did ended up dreaming about Spike. Which was very intense. The others didn't talk to her much on the trip. Dawn had this look of utter guilt.

They had rented a van were driving to Los Angeles

"Buffy I'm sorry about what I said before." Dawn said to her

"I know."

"I was just mad at everyone about the way they acted."

"It's ok Dawn. Everything will be ok." Buffy reassure Dawn but knew it wasn't true.

They finally pulled up to the building. Buffy was...scared. Fred was out side waiting for them

"Hi!" Fred said. She hugged everyone.

"Wow I'm so glad to have you here. I have been looking at every book I can find for information." She said

"Where is he?" Buffy asked

"He's out patrolling with Angel and Weasly" Cordillia said She came out and looked the same. They all hugged again

"Wow Angel and Spike patrolling, finally good to see those two getting along." Xander said.

They all went inside. Buffy sat down and waited.

"Oh bloody hell, I had that guy." His voice came form the front

He came into the room. He looked exactly as she had last seem him. His hair was back and neat. He had that same twinkle in his eyes; he still had those razor sharp cheekbones. And she couldn't talk. It was just too much.

It was Spike
