Willow and Xander had been arguing for at least ten minutes, and Dawn had left to go see some one called Knox. There wasn't any one watching the littlest slayer.

Cassie had gotten bored with the argument and approached the door of Spikes office. As she starts to turn the knob, she takes a glance up at Harmony sitting at her desk. The blonde woman wasn't paying attention, because she was to busy filing her nails, and talking on the phone. She looks over her shoulder at the other two people in the room and notices that they are still not paying any attention. She smiles, and turns the knob on the door.

Opening the door as quietly, and slowly as she can, she slips through the crack she had made. Standing there and taking in the scene in front of her. She sees Buffy talking to a man with really bright hair, and an accent like Grandpa Giles's.

"Spike, I am not taking the desk for a test drive." She hears Buffy exclaim to the man.

"Oh, come on, Luv. It'll be fun. We've never done it on a desk before." He replies, as he looks over her shoulder at the door. He had noticed some movement and it caught his eye.

Cassie smiles nervously as his eyes land on her, and waves. Spike smiles back reassuringly, and places his hands on Buffy's shoulders, turning her so that she can see their little visitor.

"Who's the munchkin, Luv?"

"She's" Buffy starts to tell him, but as excitable as Cassie is she cuts her off telling him herself who she is.

"I'm Cassie, I think I talked to you on the phone." The kid says, looking up to his blue eyes with her own, shyly, but excitedly.

"Cassie, huh? Well, I'm Spike, as it seems my mate here isn't polite enough to introduce us properly and all." Buffy slaps his shoulder, and he grins at her.

"I was getting to it, but some little kid decide to take the pleasure from me."

"Hope she didn't take all the pleasure from you, Pet. What good would you be to me then?" Spike retorts, looking at her like she is a t- bone or some O-neg blood.

"Spike! There is a child present."

"Like she even knows what that means, Slayer." Spike says, rolling his eyes at her.

Buffy ignores him, turning back to Cassie. "Where are Xander, Willow, and Dawn? They are supposed to be watching you, and I'm so gonna kill them." She goes to Cassie, as she talks, and bends down in front of her.

"Well Dawn ran off to see someone called Knox, and Willow and Xander are out there arguing over something." She answers, as she throws her hand up in the air, and rolls her eyes skyward.

"Oh, great another Bitty Buffy." Spike says sarcastically over Buffy's shoulder as he watches the kid's gestures.

"Bitty Buffy? What's wrong with that, Spikey?" Buffy asks, as she turns her head to her mate, and glaring intently at him.

"Not a thing, Luv. It's just that she is acting like you and all. Jus' thought that I'd point it out. If she turns out anything like you, well I won't be complainin'." He says backing away from her and raising his hands in surrender.
