"Spike? Earth to Spike. You there?" Buffy asked him.
"Wh-what?" He said, realizing that he was in the middle of a training session. His mind kept visiting his nightmare and replaying it over and over again. How could he focus on anything else when he kept seeing himself kill Buffy?
"Spike, you really need to stay focused. The battle's tomorrow, and I don't want to lose you again. I can't lose you again."
"I know Buffy. I'm sorry I haven't been able to really focus, but I think I've got this all down. I mean, how powerful can this thing be?"
"I don't know Spike, but it shouldn't matter. However powerful it is, you need to be more. You can't lose. Don't even think of it as an option. Now, let's get back to training." They trained for hours, and when Buffy couldn't take it anymore, she sent Willow in to help him practice the spells she had taught him. Buffy went to visit Giles to see what else he may have found in his books. When she was at his door, she knocked and told him it was her. Xander came to the door and opened it for her.
"Hey Buff. What's up? How's the training going?" He asked her as he closed the door behind her.
"I think it's going pretty well. He's losing his focus though and I don't know where it's going. I don't know. For the past two days, he's been a wreck. Maybe its just nerves."
"Buffy, could you come here for a moment?" Giles called her over to the desk where he was looking through books. Buffy came over to Giles and sat in a chair next to him. "Has Spike told you about any weird dreams or anything that he was having?" He asked.
"Well, the other night he woke up and said that it was just a bad dream, but he was in pretty bad shape. It was kinda yucky actually cause he was all sweaty and clammy and." Giles cut her off.
"But did he tell you anything about it?"
"No, just that it was a bad dream. Why is this so important? Everyone has nightmares. Especially when they know they're facing a big bad evil in the next few days." Xander, Andrew, and Giles all paused what they were doing and looked up at her like she was a freak. "What? Don't you guys get nightmares about this stuff? I know I do. Well, sometimes." They all just stared and then went back to what they were doing.
"Well Buffy, it says here that Spike should be having a dream or nightmare or something that foresees part of the battle. It doesn't say what aspect of the battle, like who wins, who the opponent is, or anything, but it does say that it should tell him something."
"Hmmm. I guess I can try to get it out of him and then I'll let you know whatever he says he saw."
"Ok, find out soon Buffy. This could help Spike win." Buffy left Giles's room and went back to Willow's where Spike was training.
"Hey Will?" She asked her friend.
"Yea Buffy?" Willow replied.
"Can I talk to Spike for a minute? Alone?"
"Oh yea, sure Buffy. I'll be right outside if you need me. Let me know when you're done so we can get back to work on our spells."
"Sure. I just need a few minutes." Willow left the room and Buffy was left with Spike.
"What's the matter love?" He asked her.
"Oh, nothing. I was just wondering, about that nightmare you said that you had the other night. What was it about?" Spike flinched at having to see the entire thing all over again in his head.
"What nightmare?" He tried to play it off like it was no big deal. Buffy looked at him in a way that he knew she knew he was lying. "Oh, that nightmare! It was nothing." He lied. "I was just being attacked by a bloody load of bunnies. That's all. I just didn't want to tell you because I thought you'd think it was unmanly to be afraid of bunnies." Buffy wasn't sure that he was telling the truth, but she had to trust him.
"Ok Spike. I believe you. But if you're lying to me.." She said back to him threateningly. She then went back to Giles and told him what Spike told her.
"Odd. I don't think that was the dream that foresaw the battle. Either he's lying or he hasn't had it yet." Giles said to her. "Bunnies haven't been known as demons." Xander heard this and almost broke into tears. It was the first thing that had reminded him of Anya since she was killed in Sunnydale. It hadn't impacted on him yet that she was gone forever.
"Anya used to be terrified of bunnies." He laughed as tears came pouring from his remaining eye. "If anyone thought they were demons, she was the girl." He smiled thinking of his memories he had of their relationship.
"Spike? Earth to Spike. You there?" Buffy asked him.
