Title- Belief in Right
By- Kirstee
Description- A story on where Spike went after 'Chosen'. His trials aren't over yet.
Disclaimer- Sorry didn't put this on the first page, forgot. None of this is mine all belong to their respective owners! Except for Madison in this chapter, she is mine.
A/N- I am taking the Chris thing from 'Charmed' out. It just wouldn't fit, obviously. But everything from Buffy still remains intact.
----------------------------------------------
Madison looked at Spike's shocked expression.
"I take it you've heard of us.." she said.
He nodded. "You-you're a Watcher?"
She nodded "Well actually more of a Watcher-in-training, with the now few Watchers and the abundance of Slayers, They're recruiting a lot more. Actually that Charmed One's thing is the thesis that I have to hand in to make me a full fledged Watcher" she said with a smile.
"Re-recruiting, whose recruiting? I thought the Council was gone" Spike said, the shocked expression never leaving his face.
Madison looked at Spike with a new found curiosity "You knew about the Council?"
Spike nodded.
"Recruiting? Well I got a letter from a man named Wesley Wyndham-Pryce and his colleague Rupert Giles" Madison said. "They knew me, they knew I wanted to become a watcher, they knew that my mother had been one." she trailed off.
"Oh" Spike said. His heart started hammering when she mentioned Rupert Giles.
"Do you know them?" she asked innocently.
He tried to remain calm.
Inwardly he was fighting a battle. Should he let on about what he really knew? Or would that somehow get back to The Charmed Ones?
"No" he said firmly. Telling himself as well as the girl.
"Oh" she said. An awkward silence fell over the two.
He looked at the clock on the wall. It was almost 6 A.M. A lot had happened today.
"Well I have to get back" Spike said. "I'll stop by later this week"
"Wait!" she said
He looked back at her.
"You never told me"
He looked at her, a confused expression across his face.
"How you know them, the Charmed Ones?"
He smiled at her.
"Friend of the family" he said.
She smiled at him. And he left out the front door.
----------------------------
By the time he got home it was almost 7:30. And he was dead tired.
He managed to get himself up to his room. He fell on to the bed, barely able to remove his boots and duster.
And then he slept.
-----------------------------
The day had become increasingly boring for Phoebe.
She shuffled through the papers that sat in front of her. Her deadline wasn't for a few days but she wanted to finish these last few letters.
And God were they boring. Just blah.
In fact that word could describe her whole day. She had woken up to a much happier Piper and Phoebe had kept telling her to tell her what had happened.
But Piper insisted nothing. She still didn't know anything about Spike.
So Phoebe went to work, without knowing anything. She left Paige on Pestering-Piper duty.
The whole day went by rather quickly. Letters about cheating husbands and boyfriends, what to do when your stuck in a rut. The regular.
She sighed as she leaned her elbows on the desk.
She remembered a time not long ago when her busy days were interrupted by her demon ex-husband.
He had loved her. And was always trying to tell her that she did too. Even after everything.
Now she knew she did. But she still knew it would have never worked out.
She sighed and looked at the clock.
It was 6. And she was outta here.
She was fairly up on her work and it was a Friday. They always went to P3 on a Friday. So she picked up her briefcase and headed towards the parking garage.
--------------------------------------------
The small black car drove along the highway.
The girl at the wheel was tapping on the steering wheel to the beat of the music, though she was slightly off.
"Now your sure were on the right road?" she said the man next to her.
"Well this is the main highway that leads into the San Francisco area, so yea I'm positive"
"Hey!" she said as she smiled at him.
He smiled back.
"I seriously need to get out of this car" she moved her legs slightly.
"Yea, Me too but you do know we aren't suppose to be here" he reminded her for the 50th time.
"First what's with the random reminder? And Second I know but we have been tracking this demon now for almost TWO whole weeks and I ain't about to give up!" she said her voice rising.
"I know" he said quietly.
"Look I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get all mad" she said.
They smiled at each other.
"So he said it was headed here?"
"Yea, that girl with the brown hair, I can't remember her name. She did some science thing and was able to track it" she said.
"Ok"
They entered the city.
"Yay, life" she said as she looked at the brightly lit signs.
He chuckled in the seat next to her.
They drove by what looked like a really popular club.
She couldn't help herself, she squealed.
"Oh no" he breathed out.
She swung the car around and found a parking space.
She quickly got out of the car and he did too reluctantly.
She was always drawn to these big clubs, and even though he always put up a fight against it he loved it about her.
She pulled him towards the entrance and they looked up at the neon sign that said P3.
A wide smile spread across her face and he looked at her as the moonlight streamed over her face.
"Your beautiful Faith, You know that?" he said.
She looked over at him.
"But don't you remember?" she said innocently "Your so much more prettier than me, Robin"
They both laughed and joined the line.
------------------------------------------------------
Spike stretched lazily and looked out the window.
He seriously needed to get out of his old sleeping habits.
He looked at the clock. 9 P.M.
Then he heard a beeping. He looked around the room but it seemed to be coming from downstairs.
He ran a hand through his hair causing the bleached curls to stand on end.
He went down the stairs, yawning.
He followed the beeping into the living room.
The beeping came from a little black machine that sat atop a wooden table.
A red light blinked up at him. It was an answering machine.
'Who would be calling me?' he thought.
He pushed the button and Phoebe's voice sounded from the machine.
"Hi Spike, It's Phoebe. Instead of stopping by the house tonight, come to this place. " Spike listened as Phoebe gave directions. He quickly wrote them down on a pad of paper that lay next to the machine.
"Oh, and don't bring weapons" Phoebe said as the message ended.
That last statement miffed Spike. Why shouldn't he bring weapons? Maybe it wasn't that kind of demon.
He shrugged on his duster and crammed the piece of paper into the pocket.
He ran his hand through his hair one last time and went out into the night.
He followed the directions precisely but he was still sure he was in the wrong place.
He looked at the place. A huge sign that hung right above the door said 'P3' A long line of people stood outside of it.
He was just about to turn around and leave when he heard his name being called.
He whipped around and saw Paige running towards him. She was all dolled up in a blue halter dress and glitter swept across her face.
"Spike" she said breathless as she reached him.
"Hello Paige" he said "Are we at the right place?"
"Um Yea. Phoebe figured the only way to get you here was to lie to you" she said sheepishly.
"So you brought me to a club?" he said warily as he looked it up and down.
"Yea, well actually this is Piper's club" she with a broad grin.
"You mean she owns it?" Spike asked.
Paige nodded.
"Well that's.well I didn't really expect that." he looked at the club once more "I think I better go"
"Wait, No!" she grabbed his arm. "If you leave now you will."
She searched for a plausible reason.
"You'll hurt Piper's feelings!" she said, proud of herself that she had thought of it.
He raised a scarred eyebrow.
She gave him a steely gaze.
Then she dragged him into the club.
He reluctantly followed.
The bouncer waved them past, knowing that Paige was Piper's sister.
The club was crowded and it reminded Spike a little of the Bronze. Only this wasn't a club for teens really.
Phoebe was in a corner talking to someone, she saw them and waved them over. Paige smiled and went over while Spike followed.
When Spike got closer he realized who Phoebe was talking to. It was that Rich guy. The one that knew him.
"Hey Spike" Rich said happily and stuck his hand out.
"Hello Rich" Spike said and awkwardly shook his hand.
Phoebe moved closer to Rich and Paige sat down on the couch, next to them. Spiek took the chair.
"So uh, Spike" Rich began "Are you and Paige."
"Oh no" Paige said "Me and Spike are just friends" she said with a smile.
Spike nodded.
And then a loud song came from the speakers, that Spike knew vaguely.
Richard got up and held out his hand to Phoebe who took it and they headed towards the dance floor.
Then Paige looked expectantly at Spike.
"No" he said.
"Aww, Come on" she said. And at the moment Paige reminded him of Dawn.
So Spike caved.
Paige took him out onto the dance floor and they danced but not in any sexual way, such as Phoebe and Richard.
Spike listened to the lyrics as he looked at Paige's happy face.
Does she walk? Does she talk?
Does she come complete?
My homeroom homeroom angel
Always pulled me from my seat
Phoebe looked at Paige and Spike and smiled happily. And Spike knew that these people actually cared about him. And that felt nice, though he would never admit it. And the song continued.
My blood runs cold
My memory has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold
Angel is the centerfold
Spike saw Piper out of the corner of her eye and she gave him a little wave. He lifted his beer up to her in recognition. She gave out a little laugh.
I was shakin' in my shoes
Whenever she flashed those baby-blues
Something had a hold on me
When angel passed close by
Spike thought of the song. Hardly played anymore a vintage 80's. Whoever picked the songs had good taste.
Those soft and fuzzy sweaters
Too magical to touch
Too see her in that negligee
Is really just too much
He then felt a tap on his left shoulder blade. He expected to find Piper behind him, possibly even Leo. But who he found was no one he would have expected. He looked straight into the eyes.Of Faith.
-----------------------------------------------
A/N- The song is 'Centerfold' by the J. Geils Band. And for all of you who were asking about when a Buffy character would show up... There you go.
