~ Hey, guess what, I'm going to start doing a disclaimer! LoL . . . C'mon
people, act like you care. I guess I was just too forgetful to actually put
one up . . . Yeah, that's me, forgetful girl. So, here it is!! Excited? No?
You suck . . . I'm just kidding, you know I love you ~
Disclaimer: I don't own any of them, except for the ones I make up as I go along. Like I own Skye and her dad, even though he hasn't said even one word yet. Meh, I still own him. And I own Nick, Buffy's brother . . . And that's all that I can remember right now and I'm too lazy to go look through . . . But if they're not off Buffy, then chances are I made them up. Yep.

"Night Skye." Buffy said as Skye climbed out of the car.
"I'll call you tomorrow Buffy! Night Spike, love you!" She yelled.
"You too pet." He said and took off.
The drive started out nice and quiet, both staring in their own directions, until Spike broke the peaceful silence.
"I'm glad you two made up."
"Me too." She said.
"She's a great girl." He said.
"I know that." Buffy said.
"I'm starting to really like her."
"That's great."
"Yeah."
The rest of the drive was in silence. Neither had much to say.
~*~
The next day after school, the whole gang was walking to Xander's. Spike had his arm draped around Skye's shoulder and Anya and Xander were holding hands, as were Oz and Willow. Buffy felt lonely walking with Riley. She watched the couples showing affection and it made her want a relationship. Her last one ended roughly though, causing her to scare off any guy that came her way.
"How was the math test today?" Riley asked her.
"Huh? Oh it was okay, how about you? Think you passed?"
"I think I did okay."
"That's good." Buffy said.
Riley nodded and looked at his feet. All week he'd been trying to come up with the courage to ask Buffy out again. The first time was too soon, just after she broke up with the guy she loved. He felt like such an idiot when she declined.
They walked up Xander's empty driveway and down to the basement. It wasn't anything special, but it was a nice place to just sit and talk.
"So, what do you guys want to do?" Asked Willow.
"What time is it?" Buffy asked.
"Uh, four o clock why?" Xander said.
"Oh no. I have to get home. My mom wanted me to help her with something for the church party tonight." Buffy said.
"Want me to walk with you?" Willow offered.
"No that's okay, you stay here. I'll see you guys later." Buffy said, standing.
"I'll see you tonight Buffy." Skye said.
"Yep, bye." Buffy said and made her way up the steps.
~*~
"Mom! I'm home!" Buffy yelled as she walked into the Summers house.
"I'm in here!" Her mother yelled from the kitchen.
Buffy walked into the kitchen to see her mother baking. She walked over to her and looked at the fresh batch of chocolate chip cookies.
"Yum." Buffy said.
"You'll have to wait until tonight Buffy."
"Awe, can't I just try one?"
"No. Now, can you go help you're cousin upstairs? She's looking for some table cloths for tonight."
"Faith is here?" Buffy asked.
"Yes she is. Her mother had to go away on a business trip for the weekend, so she's staying with us."
"Cool."
Buffy and Faith weren't the best of friends, but whenever Faith came for visits they had fun. Buffy looked at her mother's cookies one more time before running up the stairs. She looked in every room before finding her cousin in her brother and Spike's room. She walked over to her, causing her to jump.
"Scared me B. Got a new one I see." Faith said.
She had curly long brown hair and big brown eyes. A black tank top barely touched the waist of her leather pants.
"Faith, its great to see you again." Buffy said, trying to avoid much talk about Spike.
"You too B. So, looks like I'm going to this dance thing tonight. Any fun?"
"Not really." Buffy said. "Find any table cloths yet?"
"Nope."
"I'll go check the basement." Buffy said and turned around.

*Ring*Ring*
Joyce lifted her head at the sound of the phone. She walked over to it from her spot at the sink and answered.
"Hello."
'Hi Mrs. Summers. Its Skye, is Buffy home?'
"Oh hello Skye. How many times have I told you to call me Joyce? Mrs. Summers sounds so old. Hold on a minute, I'll get Buffy."
'K, thanks, Joyce.'
Joyce put the phone on hold and hung it up. She walked over to the bottom of the stairs and yelled up.
"Buffy! Phone!"
"Okay mom!" Buffy yelled back down. "Got it!"
Buffy picked up the phone from her bedside table.
"Hello?"
'Hey, its Skye, I was just wondering if you were ready to go to the church?'
"Yeah, I'll meet you there in a few. Hey, you don't mind if Faith comes do you?"
'Faith's here? No I don't mind, she's cool. See you.' Skye said and hung up.
Buffy turned to Faith who was sitting on her bed. She watched for a minute as she painted her nails with a black polish.
"All set? Skye's walking over to meet us." Buffy said.
"Yep, I'm good."
~*~
"Faith, its been so long, how are you?" Skye asked as she gave her friend a hug.
"Five by five." Faith said.
"Still saying that huh?" Skye asked.
"C'mon guys, lets go inside." Buffy said and the three walked in.
Decorations covered the basement of the church, making it look new and lively. Her dad had hired a band to play live music and a few extra things for the younger kids. The dance wasn't formal, so people were in their everyday clothes. It was more of a get together. Buffy, Skye and Faith walked over to Buffy and Skye's fathers who were talking to some people from church.
"Hi daddy." Buffy said, hugging her father.
"Hello Buffy. What are you three up to?" He asked.
"Oh nothing much."
"I have to go Buffy, greeting time. I'll find you later." Hank said and walked off.
"Bye!" Buffy yelled.
"So B, where's the guy?"
"Huh? Oh, Spike, I don't know if he's coming." Buffy said.
"He is. He's with Xander and the guys at Oz's." Skye said.
"Xander?" Faith asked.
"Yeah, you remember him don't you?" Skye asked.
"How could I forget him." Faith said, zoning out.
"Uh, Faith?" Buffy said, waving a hand in front of her face. "Earth to Faithy."
"I think we've lost her." Skye said.
"Faith?" Buffy asked.
"Yo." Faith said, snapping out of it.
"We thought we lost you." Skye said.
"Sorry."
"Look, there's Spike and the gang!" Skye said and ran off to Spike.
Buffy slowly followed behind along with Faith. They caught up to Skye who was under Spike's arm. Xander looked shocked when he saw Faith and almost fell over. Buffy looked from Faith to Xander, was she missing something? Anya didn't look to pleased at Xander's reaction.
"Faith, hi." Xander said.
"Hey." Faith said.
"Who is she Xander?" Anya asked.
"Faith, Buffy's cousin." Xander said.
"Oh. Hi, I'm Anya, Xander's girlfriend."
"Girlfriend?" Faith asked.
"Yeah." Xander said.
"So, guys, want to go get some food?" Buffy said, breaking the tension.
"Sounds great." Willow said. "My tummy is hungry."
They walked over to the tables covered in food. Each grabbed a plate and took what they wanted. Then, they headed outside to the back porch of Buffy's house and began to eat.
"What's with Xander and Faith?" Oz whispered to Willow.
"I don't know." Willow said.
"I need to get something." Faith said, standing up.
She walked inside and headed up to Buffy's room. She opened her suitcase and pulled out a picture. It was of a little boy. He had brown hair and chocolate eyes. He wasn't very old, around the age of two. She heard someone coming up the stairs and shoved the picture back into her bag.
"How is he?"
She turned around to see Xander standing in the doorway.
"He's okay." Faith answered.
"When was the last time you saw him?"
"I haven't. They wont let me. They send me pictures though. Want to see?" Faith said.
"Yeah." Xander said and walked closer.
He watched as Faith pulled the same picture from before out of her bag. She passed it to him and he traced over the image with his finger. He looked just like Xander when he was little. He swallowed a lump in his throat and looked up to meet Faith's eyes.
"This is our child." He said.
"I know." Faith said.
"Anya can never . . ."
"I understand. She wont find out." Faith said.
Xander went to pass the picture back to her, but she held her hand up.
"You keep it. I have more."
He smiled and put in his jean pocket.
"I'm happy for you." She said.
"Thank you." He said.
Faith nodded and watched as Xander turned his back to her and left. A silent tear fell from her eye.
~*~
The dance was coming to an end, and Faith hadn't come out of the house. Buffy was beginning to get worried so she went in search of her. She came across Faith asleep in her bed. 'She must be tired from her flight.' Buffy thought and closed the door. She was on her way downstairs when she ran into Spike. She moved to get out of his way but he didn't walk, so she decided to. But she felt a warm hand on her arm, stopping her. She turned around and her green eyes drowned in his ocean blue ones.
"What?" She asked.
"I need to talk to you luv." He said.
"About what?"
"Something important."
Buffy didn't understand but followed him up to his room. She sat on her brother's bed across from Spike.
"Yeah?" She asked.
"There's something I need to tell you." Spike said.
"What's that?" She asked.
"Its hard to explain . . ." He started.
"Then I'll save you the trouble. You don't have to tell me anything." Buffy said.
"I need to." He said.
"Then just tell me already." She said, impatiently.
"I think I'm in love with you Buffy."
~* Yep, so I kind of rushed it I think . . . Do you think? But I want them to be in love already! LoL . . . If you think I rushed it tell me and I'll fix it okay?? Well anyway, review please! *~
