          Faye walked into the kitchen dressed in a pair of jeans, and a red turtleneck that formed around her shapely body. Spike nodded his head towards her and smiled. "Now there's a switch from the norm." He smirked as she glared at him.

          "Are we there yet?" Faye hissed, dragging two suitcases behind her.

          Spike eyed her bags. "We not moving there Faye, God…couldn't you pack a little bit less?" He laid down on the cough and pulled his bangs away from his eyes. "Oh yeah, here Mrs. Spiegel," he tossed her an engagement ring, and wedding band.

          Faye's cheeks flushed as she pictured herself married to him. Faye put the rings on her wedding finger and smiled in content. "Who picked the engagement ring out?"

          Spike's face grew sourer. "I did, and Jet got the wedding band last night." Faye nodded, and noted his face and thought it best to keep her mouth shut.

          "You've got good taste." She smirked; she knew he wouldn't mind praise.

          He let out a scuff of laughter and then the sour look appeared again. "We should be there in a few minutes. Jet said there's a food store about a half hour away from the cabin, and the rented car should be there by the time we arrive."

          Faye's green eyes wide in pure delight, "We really went all out for this one didn't we?" She mused, staring down at the ring. "I mean just the fact that this ring is real—"

          "Will you stop it with the damn ring already?!" Spike shouted and jolted forward. He stood up, closed his eyes, and sighed, before walking away without another word.

          Faye was speechless. She knew she'd hit a sore spot, and once again thought it best to keep her mouth shut, he'd cool down, and just be tense the next time he stood near her. He mutter something she couldn't understand at first, but later on realized he'd said he was sorry, and walk away again, keeping his distance until she was ready to make contact with him again.

          "We're here, we're here!" Ed ran out of the engine room with Ein in her arms. "Faye-Faye, Spi-Spi, we're here!" She laughed, clasping her hands together, and twirled dancing with Ein to a soundless song.

          Spike popped his head out of the hall and noted Faye. He slinked around and hurriedly ran into the engine room to find Jet. Faye turned after he had gone her nose up in the air, and her eyes narrowed. "I wasn't that upset, it was me who hit the sore spot you ass." She hissed.

          Faye walked into behind Spike and when he least expected it tapped him on the shoulder. Spike yelped and turned around. "Eh," he squirmed looking for an escape, there was nowhere to go. She smirked and leaned into him as the ship shuttered. Spike squirmed again, and backed away.

          Faye arched an eyebrow up at him. "Boo." She smirked, and then walked over to Jet. Spike made his escape and exited the room.

          "Here we are Faye; I'd get a coat on though, its only fifteen degrees out." Faye's eyes grew in size, much colder than Colisto.

          Spike came back in the room and put a hat over her head. It was blue and matched her jeans. It had long sides to keep her ears worm Spike smiled in amusement as Faye stared it in bewilderment. "You want me to tie it for you?" Faye glared over at him and placed the hat on backwards, unknown to her knowledge.

          "I can manage perfectly fine by myself!" She growled and pushed past him. Spike smiled.

          "You're hats backwards!" He shouted. Faye screamed in frustration.

          "Well, you've got the married couple part down…" Jet mocked.

          Spike glared towards Jet and flopped down into a chair. "You've lost it if you see us as a married couple…a couple at all for that matter." He narrowed his eyes as the ideas snuck into his brain. He bit down on his tongue and removed them.

++++++

          "Yeah, yeah Jet, we'll be fine!" She waved and watched as him, Ed, and Ein flew off leaving them at the front steps of the cabin.

          Spike walked over to their car, jiggling the keys in his hands he watched as Faye dropped her bags on the porch and ran back into the snow. She twirled in circles and fell back waving her arms and legs. "You want help getting up? You don't want to be ruining your first snow angel." Faye looked over at him and nodded. Smirking, he slowly trudged over and extended his hand.

          Faye took it and was quickly pulled to her feet. Faye turned and stared down at the angel she'd made. "So we'll get out of this thing okay, right?" Spike nodded his head.

          "Let's get our stuff inside and go to the food store, there's going to be another big storm." Faye's senses absorbed all the new things, the sound of the snow crouching under her boots, the feel of the cold air, the taste of the snow as it landed on her tongue, and the feel of it in her hands.

          "Can't we wait a little bit, or can't you go by yourself?" Faye muttered.

          Spike narrowed his eyes. "I'd go by myself, but how would the bounty feel seeing us newly weds already going our separate ways?" Spike pouted putting his hands to his face. Faye smirked, and held back laughter. "Besides, I'll just end up buying food you don't like, so lets move it!" He jumped into the drivers' seat and Faye hopped in on the passenger side.

          "Why can't I drive?" She grumbled.

          "Because you don't remember the snow…The last thing I want is for you to go speeding around a turn hit a patch of black ice, and send us flying off this side of the mountain." Faye wrinkled her nose together and crossed her arms.

          "I would be careful…" She growled.

          "You can drive on the way to the lodge when we go home." He muttered.

          "Or if we want to go to the hot spring the lodge is built around." Faye mused clasping her hands together.

          Spike blinked. "Well, or that…" He coughed as pictures of Faye in her bathing suit danced in his mind. He shuttered, trying to forget. Grimacing he turned on the radio.

+ The love and fluff will start in the next chapter! Sorry for the delays, I've got school now…Although my classes are nicely spread out! With the blocked scheduling, I only have four class periods. Math (no homework ever to be assigned in that class), ceramics 1 (had intro last year…don't like my teacher this year though ;_;), Lunch (right before 3rd block), English (LOVE this class, I just like it for some reason ^_~), and finally Resent America (its okay, my teacher's cool, I just strongly dislike social studies and history to begin with. +
