-----------------
Earlier that evening-
Faith and Robin were standing outside of P3. The line was pretty long
'Must be a pretty popular place' Faith thought.
She looked over at Robin who was staring at the front of the line he was switching his weight from foot to foot. He was impatient.
Faith smiled at his antics.
She looked around the rest of the place.
She heard a girl yell at the front of the line. Faith looked over to where the commotion was.
The girl was yelling something to a retreating figure who she couldn't see. She listened as the girl called out.
"Spike!!" the girl said again.
Faith eyes opened a little wider. 'Did she just say what I thought she said?' she thought.
Faith craned her neck to see the figures but they had disappeared into the crowd.
'There could be more than Spike' Faith said to herself 'Plus the girl's voice was pretty muffled, maybe she said Ike'
If that was the case then Faith felt bad for the guy.
They finally entered the club and all thoughts of the earlier incident flew out of her head.
Robin got them some drinks while Faith grabbed a couch towards the back.
She slipped off her jean jacket and glanced around the club. Nice place. It was brightly lit where the dance floor was but darker in the back where she was.
She tapped her finger on the couch to the beat of the music. She listened to the conversations around her. She couldn't help if she was nosy.
A sickeningly sweet couple sat on her left so she tried to tune them out.
Another guy and girl sat on her right.
".so your sister runs this club?" the guy asked.
"Yea" the girl said.
Faith looked over at them. The girl was very attractive with short brown hair that was in tiny curls. The guy was also a cutie with sandy blonde hair that was in a bit of disarray.
Robin returned with their drinks. They sat talking quietly so as not to be overheard.
Faith was vaguely aware that more had joined the party next to her.
A fast beat came over the speakers.
"Would you like to dance?" Robin asked.
Faith jumped up and grabbed his arm.
They went out onto the floor and began to dance. Faith was glad they had done this, it had been mostly work the last few weeks.
She sighed happily as she looked at Robin.
During her daze she caught site of a flash of white hair.
Her eyes came back into focus, she looked closer.
Yep, that was defiantly bleached hair.
She looked over at the other side of Robin and saw the figure was clad in black.
She danced her and Robin closer to the man who was dancing with a red head.
The figure held up his beer bottle in acknowledgement to someone across the room. Faith wildly looked over to that direction and saw a young brunette wave to him. "That's it" Faith said aloud. Robin looked down at her, confusion etched in his features.
She left Robin's grasp and wrestled her way through the crowd until she stood right behind the black clad, bleached-white hair figure.
She tapped him on the back he turned around and Faith let out a short gasp.
Blue eyes, high cheekbones, still slightly pale skin. Yes it was him.
"Spike" Faith breathed out. His face was in shock and no words escaped his mouth. And then she did something she didn't even think she was going to do.
She punched him.
------------------------------------
Piper saw the girl pushing people aside.
She was heading toward her sisters.
"Oh No" Piper whispered.
She quickly maneuvered herself closer to the group.
She managed to get by a couple making out on the dance floor just in time to see the brunette punch Spike in the nose.
"Crap" Piper said. She quickly threw up her hands and the room froze.
She ran over to her sisters.
Paige and Phoebe were looking at Spike and Faith in shock.
"Phoebe, Paige Are you guys okay?" Piper said, breathless.
Phoebe let out a little nod and Paige squeaked a 'Yes'.
"What happened?" Piper exclaimed.
"I don't know" Paige said "One minute we were dancing and then that girl" she pointed to Faith "tapped Spike on the shoulder, said his name, then punched him"
Phoebe went over to look at Spike and Faith. Her hand brushed against Spike's.
Her eyes shut as she felt the premonition come.
It was Spike and he was on a cot in what looked like a basement. He wasn't wearing a shirt and his hair was in a curly peroxided mess.
He was talking to a girl next to him who had long curly brown hair and was wearing a red tank.
Then the premonition ended.
Phoebe turned to look at the girl. It was the one from the premonition.
"Oh God" Phoebe said.
"What?" Piper said.
"Spike knew, or knows.this girl" Phoebe said pointing to Faith.
"How do you know?" Paige asked.
"I just had a premonition with both of them and I think it was of the past.his past"
Piper and Paige eyes widened.
"Piper unfreeze them" Phoebe said.
Piper dutifully threw up her hands and the scene played out.
Spike recoiled back at Faiths punch. Faith looked rather shocked at what she had done.
Faith looked down at her fist and slowly unclenched it.
A voice came from behind the stunned group
"Faith! Faith what the hell..."
They all turned to look at the newcomer. He was a tall black man who was wearing a loose dark blue shirt and jeans.
He caught up to Faith and breathlessly tried to talk to her "What was that all.?" he trailed off and followed Faith's gaze which was centered on the bleached blonde, trying to wipe the blood from his nose off.
Spike slowly raised his head and now saw that two figures were now where one had been.
"Oh God" Robin said as he looked at Spike's face.
"Oh Damn" was all Spike could say.
"Yes well this is fun, but might I suggest finding somewhere else to finish this conversation.?" Piper said, always the level headed one.
That was the first time Faith, Robin, and Spike remembered that others were there. They slowly nodded.
Piper led the group over to the couches they had occupied earlier.
Rich hung back he put his arm on Phoebe's and a little shiver ran up her spine.
"Hey, It looks like you have something going on here so I'm going to take off" he said with a smile.
"Rich you don't have.." Phoebe said.
"No I insist" and with that he gave her a light kiss on the cheek. "Goodnight Phoebe"
"Goodnight Rich" she said softly.
He left through the front door and Phoebe went over to where they all were sitting.
Paige and Piper sat together on couch, with Robin and Faith on an identical one. Spike was leaning against the wall lighting up a cigarette.
Phoebe took the chair across from Robin and Faith.
Faith and Robin were still staring at Spike, who was trying to ignore everyone.
They all sat in silence, their eyes flicking back and forth onto one another.
Paige finally decided to say something.
"Excuse me for being rude" she looked over at Faith "but why did you punch our friend in the face?"
"Your friend?" Faith asked, some sarcasm dripping into her voice, unintentionally.
"Yes our friend" Phoebe said.
Piper was silent she was looking at Spike.
"I actually don't know" Faith sighed.
The group remained silent for another long period. This time it was Spike who spoke.
"What are you doing here?" he asked Faith and Robin quietly.
This made Faith angry. "What are WE doing here? Look who's talking! You're suppose to be DEAD!" she jumped up from her place.
"Faith." Robin said. It was true that he still held a seething resentment to Spike. The one that had killed his mother. But he had managed to get past it, to save the world. But seeing him again brought back those feelings of anger.
Piper quickly looked around to see if anyone had heard the outburst. "Ok lets calm down"
The 6 people looked at each other awkwardly.
"Maybe we can finish this conversation back at the house" Phoebe finally said.
Spike nodded and Faith shrugged.
"That's sounds like the best idea" Robin said.
"Can you get off for a little while Piper?" Phoebe asked. Piper nodded.
The six then headed out to the parking lot. Piper talked briefly to the bartender telling him where she was going. Then she, Paige, Phoebe, and Spike climbed into her car with Faith and Robin following behind.
The car ride with Spike was awkward. So the whole way back to the house was quiet.
They arrived at the Halliwell Manor and Piper opened the door and flicked the lights on.
The group then gathered into the Halliwell's sunroom. Spike was again standing along with Piper who was beginning to pace. Robin sat in a chair with Faith draped over the arm. Phoebe and Paige sat on the loveseat.
"So where do we start" Piper finally said as she stopped pacing.
"I'm guessing names" Robin said.
Piper nodded and let a small smile slip out. Though these people had punched Spike and screamed at him, they didn't seem all that bad.
"I'm Piper and these are my sisters Phoebe and Paige and I take it you already know Spike" she said.
Robin grimaced. "Yes, Well I am Robin and this Faith" Faith gave a slight nod in Piper's direction.
No one spoke for several minutes.
'Well its now or never' Spike thought to himself. He stood up from his position leaning against the wall and immediately had everyone's attention.
"Well I might as well start everything out" he said.
"Faith last time you saw me I was dying in the school basement and its true that night I died"
Everyone straightened up at his abruptness. Phoebe and Paige had never heard Spike talk of his death before.
"But what I can say is that I've changed" he continued. "I'm not what I was the last time you saw me"
He gestured over to the other side of the room where I mirror hung on the wall. Everyone looked over at it and Faith and Robin gasped. Because they weren't expecting to see anything, but there Spike was leather duster and all.
Faith got up from the chair. "Y-your not a vampire." It was half a statement and half a question.
"No I'm not" Spike said.
