A/N : Finally we have arrived at the sequel to 'The Guy Next Door'! I hope this is as popular as it's prequel was. This chapter is quite short but I should have the next part up tomorrow so please bear with me. I've had this story planned for a while now but I didn't want to start writing it until I'd finished Friends and Lovers. I'll try to update this quite often but at the same time as this I'm gonna try to write another Fantasy fic. I must be as crazy as people say...Please let me know what you think of this so far...

Chapter 1/Prologue - Schools Out For The Summer

"Thank God that's over" Xander sighed deeply as he headed out of the front of the school, right hand holding onto Willow's left.

"Yep" said Buffy from his other side, "School is officially out for the Summer"

"And not a moment too bloody soon" Spike added, wrapping an arm around his girlfriends shoulders.

"Down side is we're not going to see you guys for a while" Willow sighed, "I mean, it's great that my family have agreed Xander can come on vacation with us but I'm gonna miss you two" she told Buffy and Spike.

"And we'll miss you too Red" Spike told her with a smile, "but you'll be back before you know it for Mum and Dad's wedding"

"Oh of course" Willow gushed, "Wouldn't want to miss the big occasion" she smiled, the chance to see Spike in a suit instead of his usual black leather would be fun as he played the part of best man for his father, plus of course Buffy and Dawn were to be bridesmaids, since Giles saw them as an extension of his own family anyway.

"I can't believe Giles is getting married" Xander shook his head, "I mean, he's going to have like a honeymoon and at his age...eeww"

"Shut it Whelp" Spike snapped, "That's my parents your getting disgusted by" he frowned, although the last thing he wanted to think about was his Mum and Dad, doing what comes naturally to newlyweds. Xander just bugged him sometimes, although he'd got on better with the boy these last few months since he and Buffy, and Xander and Willow, had started dating.

The four best friends parted outside the school, Willow getting teary as she hugged Spike then Buffy, before Xander hugged Buffy too and then looked uncomfortably at Spike. The two males just nodded semi-politely at one another before taking the hand of their waiting girlfriends and walking away in opposite directions.

"So" Buffy sighed, "three weeks to the wedding of the year, huh?" she smiled.

"Yeah, it's come around fast" Spike nodded "but I'm glad, it'll be sort of nice to have an officially married set of parentals" he grinned.

"Didn't you tell me you had relatives coming over?" Buffy seemed to remember him having mentioned something about more family members arriving.

"Oh yeah, my Dad's sisters son wants to be at his favourite Uncle's wedding, apparently" he rolled his eyes and smiled as they walked along "I've never met the bloke, seeing as I've only known Dad a few months, but he's meant to be a decent enough guy"

"What do you know about him?" Buffy asked keen to know everything as always.

"Well, aunt Sarah, as I'm s'posed to call her" Spike rolled his eyes again "she married an Irish bloke, Patrick Doyle, and they had a kid called...Allen Francis" he explained, trying to remember all the details Giles had told him "but he hates his name so he's just called Doyle"

"Irish, huh?" Buffy said thoughtfully "That should be interesting"

"Why's that, pet?" Spike asked with a frown, a slight twinge of panic in his chest as he thought perhaps Buffy might prefer this Irish bloke to him. His hand tightened around hers, Buffy felt it and knew why, at the same time wondering how someone as seemingly tough as Spike could be so insecure.

"Cordy's coming to stay for the summer vacation, remember?" she said as if the answer to his question were so obvious. When he still looked blank, she elaborated "Put her near a guy with an accent and she's smitten"

Spike grinned, remembering that Cordelia had been a little over-friendly around him when he'd first met her. It'd be nice to see the girl again and Buffy thought of her as a second sister, the two were so close.

"How old is he?" Buffy asked, still thinking of Doyle and Spike came back from his thoughts to answer her.

"Er, eighteen, I think, maybe nineteen now...I've had to learn about so many people in my family that I didn't even know I had, it's hard to keep track" he complained, "anyway, he's coming, and my Mum's parents and her brother, my Uncle Johnny, I think you'll really like him" he smiled, glad his girlfriend was so interested in his family.

"Are they all staying at your house?" Buffy frowned a little.

"I dunno, pet" her boyfriend shrugged as they neared but their front doors now "Probably, yeah"

"And with Cordy at my house it's going to get awfully noisy in Revello Drive" she almost laughed as she pictured the over crowding.

"Well, at least the Summer won't be boring" Spike laughed.
