Dawn and Xander had just come into the waiting room of Spikes office.
They looked at each other as they notice Harmony come out of the main office, with tears in her eyes.
"Is that Harmony, that just come out of there, or am I hallucinating?" Xander asks. He's totally stunned that Harmony would be anywhere in the vicinity of Spike, especially if Buffy is around.
"Yea, Xan, I really think that it is. Buffy is probably ready to kill both Spike and her. If I know my sister, she's probably already threatened to stake them both. Which would so not be good. I sooo wouldn't want to be Spike at this moment. She's gonna be mad as hell."
"Dawn!" Willow exclaims, putting her hands over the kid's ears that is standing beside her. The kid was only seven years old, and Willow believes she shouldn't need to hear those words. "Little ears, here." She explains, as she removes one hand to motion to Cassie.
Dawn cringes, really not wanting to get on the witches bad side. "Oops, sorry. It just came out, I really didn't mean to say it." She apologizes.
"That's alright Dawnie. I'm pretty sure by the time she hangs around Spike. She'll have heard all the American and English obscenities that have ever been uttered, and probably some that haven't even been invented yet. What with the way he's always just blurting them out."
Cassie looks up at Willow with her big, blue eyes, and squeezes her hand tightly.
Willow cringes, looks down and smiles at her. "Yes, Cassie?"
"I've heard a lot worse, Willow. My daddy says them all the time. It's nothing new." She says, rolling her eyes and smirking at Willow.
Wills bends down to be at eye level with the little girl. "Cassie, I don't think that little girls your age should be subjected to word like that, and your daddy most definitely doesn't need to be saying them around you." Standing back up she looks at the other two people in the office. She looks past them to the desk by the door.
"Is that Harmony?" She says to her best friend and adopted little sister.
"Yeah, Wills that's Harmony Kendal."Xander says quietly. Trying not to disturb the Vamp behind desk number one.
"Goddess I don't think I'd want to be Spike."
Dawn looks at Willow and smiles, "That's exactly what I said, except for the whole goddess thing that is."
Cassie doesn't know this Harmony person and is getting bored. She tugs at Willows hand. She still had more to say on the whole obscenities subject and wasn't ready to give it up.
Willow stoops back down to see what's the matter. "What's wrong?" She asks the kid that likes to tug and pull on her.
"It's just that my daddy doesn't mean to say those words, he just gets mad and they come out."
Willow shakes her head and looks at Cassie, standing there wide eyed, and smiles at her. "Oh, we're back to that, huh?"
"Uh, huh. I wasn't done saying what I wanted too." She says as she hangs her head.
Dawn comes over to the couple and bends down, she lifts Cassies chin. "What did you do to her, Wills? She looks so pitiful."
"I didn't do anything Dawn. She just hung her head and I don't know what made her sad. She got back on the subject of curse words and I just asked if we were back on that subject again, then she answered me and got all sad like. It was totally alright, I was gonna talk to her about it, and then she just clammed up and hung her head." Willow rambles in explanation.
"Whoa, slow down there Wills, I barely got any of that."
Willow takes a deep, calming breath and says, "I don't have any idea what happened."
Dawn laughs, and looks back at Cassie. "So, kiddo what's wrong with ya?"
"Nothing, I just want to talk to my mommy."
"Well, I'm sure that when we get to the hotel, we can let you call home."
"Okay." Cassie says smiling at the teenager. "Where'd Buffy go?"
The gang smiles at that. The kid does love Buffy, and when she misses her mommy and daddy she runs straight to her.
Xander looks down on her, smiling like the big goof he is, and notices how shy she is being by asking the question. Observing her watching the toe of her shoe move back and forth across the carpeted floor of the lobby. He laughs, "It's alright to ask about Buffy, but I don't think she would want to be disturbed right now."
"Why?" She asks, as she looks up to the one eyed man.
Glancing at her two friends, then at the door that Buffy had disappeared behind, Willow explains, "She went in the other room to talk to Spike, and she'd probably like to be alone with him. You do remember who Spike is don't you? Remember we told you about him."
"Captain Peroxide, right?" Cassie says answering the question, and rolling her eyes at the group.
Xander snickers at the answer, and made the mistake of standing behind Willow, while doing it. "Yeah, kid. That's right." He says through his snickering.
Looking up at him from in front of Cassie, Willow gasps, and slaps his leg as hard as she can.
"Hey! Ow." Xander exclaims, reaching down to his now injured leg.
"That's what you get for telling her to call Spike that."
"Oh, come on Wills. It was funny, and don't forget just how cute it was when she said it."
"What would you have done if Buffy heard her call her mate that? Did you ever think about the consequences? Buffy would absolutely kill you for teaching her to call people names. Especially, if she's calling Spike names."
Xander looks at his best friend, as he is lost in thought about what she'd just said. "Ummm, I don't think I'd like that at all, Wills. I will definitely not teach her to do that again. I would like to keep what's left of me intact. Thank you very much. Cassie?"
The kid smiles at him, "Yeah, Xander."
"Please if you like one little smidgen. Please do not say anything like that again."
"Okay."

(A.N. I'm sorry if this chappy is lame, but it had to be done for the reason that it is pivotal to what happens in the next few chapters.) Please review, I would love to know if there is any one reading this, cause if not I will put this one on the back burner and post the other story I have started writing.
