The Zoo
When Buffy awoke the next morning Spike was still asleep and the end of the bed. She tilted her head so that it was at the same angle as his. He had stayed with her all night, just like he'd said. She smiled at how innocent he looked when he slept. She climbed out of bed, trying to be quiet.
"What's the time?" He was already fully awake. Buffy jumped as she heard his voice.
"I didn't know you were awake," she said. "It's nearly midday."
Spike nodded and thought for a second about what he was about to ask her. It could mean they became friends or it could make her hate him even more. By the way she was looking at him at the moment, she would probably say yes.
"Did you ever get to go to the zoo?"
Buffy had to think about what he was talking about, and then she remembered the argument they had had the night before. "No," she said glumly. "Why'd you ask?"
"Wanna go to the zoo today?" he asked hopefully.
"Yeah!" Buffy sounded excited. "I'd love to."
"Be ready in half an hour," Spike said as he walked out of the room.
Buffy grinned stupidly, much like the idiot police officer had done the other day, as he left the room.
'He's not actually that bad,' half of her brain was telling her. The other half was telling her that his was the rude git that had invaded her house. She eventually listened to both sides of her brain. He wasn't that bad but he could sometimes be a rude git.
She shook herself out of her thoughts and opened her wardrobe to try and suss out what to wear.

"That was such an amazing day!" Buffy squealed as she flopped down backwards on the sofa. "Thank you so much for taking me."
"No problem, Pet," Spike said, flopping down on the other end of the sofa. "It was cool when we got to feed the penguin's."
"And when you got soaked by the sea-lion!" Buffy giggled. She was still on a high from her first trip to the zoo.
"And when you got really scared when that tiger came right up to the bars!" They both burst out laughing, remembering all the fun they had had together.
"I'm going to bed now," Buffy announced once they had finished laughing. "I have to up early in the morning."
"Why?" Spike asked. He was a little disappointed that didn't want to send another day with him.
"Cos I'm going to the beach with you," she explained before running up the stairs.
Spike was left on the sofa, speechless. Had she just asked him out on a date?
