Summary: The Halliwell sisters take an emotionally battered Spike to the Manor and they learn from Leo who he is and why he's upset. Piper goes to the guest room to comfort her sobbing friend and told him that she'll help him.
The next morning….
Phoebe sat in the living room with a cup of coffee on the table in front of her. She had managed to go to bed and fell into a troubled sleep. She didn't wake up till seven o'clock in the morning. Paige was still asleep in her room and Leo had left to see the Elders. It was silent for nearly twenty-five minutes and then Piper appeared in the doorway. She looked tired and sad. Phoebe got up and walked to her sister with a gentle smile on her face. Piper managed to smile back despite her weariness and sadness.
"Hey." Phoebe said.
"Hey." Piper replied.
Phoebe glanced up the stairs. "Spike?" she asked
Piper smiled sadly at her sister. "It had been a rough night for him." She said. "He cried almost all night and he kept saying that he wished that he could change everything he did. He finally went to sleep two hours ago. I think he needs it."
"I agree." Phoebe agreed. "There has to be something we could do for him."
"There is," Leo's voice rang out and he orbed in. "I could go to Sunnydale and explain."
Phoebe and Piper stared at him. "Sunnydale?" Phoebe asked.
"Sunnydale is a small town about two hours north of Los Angeles. That's where Spike is lives." Leo explained.
"Why do you have to go?" Phoebe asked.
"Because I'm Spike's guide, Phoebe." Leo said. "If he stops wanting to live now then he won't be what he's destined to become."
"He's right, Pheebs." Piper agreed. "Spike's emotional and mental state is going out the door. He feels that Buffy doesn't deserve him but what I gathered from him, she deserves him a lot. He needs her."
Phoebe looked at her. "Buffy?"
"Yeah, that's the name of his girlfriend." Piper said.
Phoebe nodded her head. "Okay." She said shaking her head.
Leo moved to the center of the living room. "I better go." He said.
Piper moved to her husband's side. He looked at her with a strange expression on his face. "What are you doing?" he asked.
"I'm going with you. So that way, if they don't believe you then I would back you up." Piper explained. Leo smiled at her. She then turned to Phoebe.
"You and Paige take care of Spike till we get back." Piper said as she and Leo orbed out of the Manor. Phoebe nodded and sat down on the couch waiting for her sister's return.
Sunnydale, California
Piper and Leo orbed in the middle of a park right in the town of Sunnydale. They walked and walked for a while till Leo found the house he was looking for. Piper read the name on the mailbox. Summers. She then looked at Leo with a look of uncertainty on her face.
"Leo, are you sure this is the right place?" she asked.
"This is where Buffy lives. I've seen him coming to this house every night." Leo replied as he knocked on the door. They waited for a few minutes when the door opened and a pretty teenage girl answered it. She was very pretty with long brown hair and blue eyes. She looks a lot like Prue. Piper thought. The girl eyed Piper and Leo suspiciously.
"Can I help you?" she asked.
"We're looking for Buffy Summers." Leo replied.
"She's not here at the moment. Is there anything I can help you with?" The girl said.
"Just tell her that we've located a friend of hers. Someone named Spike." Piper said and was surprised to see a shocked look on the teen's face.
"You know where Spike is?" she exclaimed, "Is he okay? Where is he? Who are you?"
"Whoa, whoa! Down girl. Let us answer your questions one at a time. Number one, my name is Piper Halliwell and this is my husband Leo." Piper said jerking her thumb at the Whitelighter. He smiled at the girl and she smiled at him back.
"Number two, Spike is at our house in San Francisco and number three…." Piper paused, "I'm sorry. What's your name?"
"Dawn. Dawn Summers." The girl replied, "I'm Buffy's sister."
"Well, Dawn. Spike is the reason we're here and why we're looking for your sister." Leo said.
"Is he okay?" Dawn repeated impatiently this time.
Piper smiled sadly at her. "No, Dawnie. He's not okay." She and Leo explained what had happened over the past twenty-four hours and why Spike left Sunnydale. Dawn was shocked and upset over what she just heard.
"Maybe, you should come in and wait for Buffy to come back." Dawn said and stood aside to let Piper and Leo in.
Buffy walked along the sidewalk toward her house. She had gone out shopping and left Dawn at home. She had stopped at Xander's house to check on Willow before finally deciding to head home. Buffy took out her keys, unlocked the door and walked in with the bags of food she was carrying. She went to greet her sister and was surprised to find that Dawn was not alone. A man and a woman sat on the couch across from Dawn. The man looked somewhere in his thirties with sandy blonde hair and blue eyes. The woman looked somewhere her twenties with long brown hair and eyes. Both looked glum and expected.
"Buffy," Dawn said in a voice that Buffy knew all too well. "This is Piper Halliwell and her husband Leo Wyatt. They know where Spike is."
Buffy froze with shock and disbelief. Since that incident in the bathroom, she had wanted to talk to Spike and ask him why he did what he did but she never got a chance to ask. She looked at her sister before looking at Piper and Leo.
"Where is he? Is all right?" Buffy asked fearing the answer.
"He's at our home in San Francisco and physically he's okay but emotionally no." Piper said. She and Leo then repeated what they told Dawn. Buffy couldn't believe what she was being told. Spike has a soul now and he's feeling all the guilt and remorse of what he did? Oh, God Spike why did you do this? Why did you have to go through this on your own? You should've come back immediately and I could've helped you with this. Oh, Spike, Spike.
"Why did he do this?" Buffy asked almost in tears.
Piper immediately felt sorry for Buffy. "I think he loved you so much that he was willing to do anything for you. Getting a soul was probably one of those things. He wasn't alone. I was there when he needed a friend to talk to and a shoulder to cry on."
Tears ran down Buffy's face. Piper went to her and hugged her. Buffy relaxed in her embrace and cried softly on her shoulder. Atfer a little while, she pulled back from Piper's embrace and looked at her.
"I want to see him." She said.
Piper smiled. "I think we could arrange that. Leo?"
"I think so." Leo said with a smile. "I better tell Phoebe and Paige to prepare Spike for this. I'll be back soon." At that, Leo orbed out. Dawn jumped back in shock at seeing him orb out of the room.
"What the hell he is?" she shrieked.
"He's a Whitelighter." Piper replied.
Dawn's eyes widened. "A what?"
"A Whitelighter." Piper repeated. "They protect and guide good witches."
Buffy stared at her. "Are you a witch?" she asked. Piper nodded her head yes.
Dawn smiled. "Cool." She said. Leo orbed back causing Dawn to jump back in fright.
"Buffy, if you want to see him the time is now." He said.
Buffy nodded her head. "Okay, take me to him." She walked next to Leo and Piper. Dawn followed her and stood next to Piper.
"Let's go home." Piper said as she, Leo and their new friends orbed back to the Manor.
