Buffy anxiously spoke to "Angel" on the phone as Xander sat on the couch eating Twinkies and Willow sat in her corner rocking back and forth mumbling Spike every few moments.
"Xander!" Buffy called out as soon as she hung up the phone. "Angel found Spike. He's in San Francisco."
Xander jumped up from the couch he had been sitting at. "Well, when are we leaving? We're bringing Dead Boy Jr. back, right? I don't think I can handle seeing Willow like this another day." He said gesturing to the rocking Willow.
"There's no we. I'm going. I need you to stay here with Willow."
"NO." Willow jumped up from the corner she had been sitting in. "I need to go."
"Wills."
"No! He doesn't know what is going on. The flashbacks should be coming. He's going to be confused and try to kill someone. He won't listen to you Buffy. He won't. He won't. Spike needs me." Willow looked back and forth between Xander and Buffy hopefully.
Buffy threw up her hands in defeat. "Fine. You both can go."
"Thank you, Buffy." Willow said smiling throwing her arms around Buffy's neck. Then she turned to Xander and threw her arms around his neck kissing him on the cheek. "I'm gonna go pack." Willow turned and ran into the guest where they all kept spare clothes.
"Buffy, do you think it's wise to let her go with you?" Giles asked coming into the room.
"Do I really have a choice Giles? I'd rather have her in the car than hiding in the trunk or doing something else that is really stupid."
"I trust your judgment Buffy, but this trip may hurt her more than it will help her."
"I can handle it, Giles."
"I know. I call you if we get any other confirmation on the new demon in town."
"Thank you, Giles. " Buffy threw her arms around his neck and then walked out of the house with Xander and Willow, who had grabbed supplies for them.
"So, Buff, Where in San Francisco are we going?" Xander asked her getting into Willow's car.
"Angel said he saw him twice at a club called P3."
"Sounds more like a parking structure."

"Paige, tell me you didn't just invite a psycho killer into the house." Piper said as she helped Paige get up off the floor where Spike had left her.
"I didn't mean to. I didn't know."
"Leo!" Piper said yelling. "Leo! Get down here now!"
Piper smiled as she saw the familiar orbs that turned into Leo who had a grim look on his face.
"Piper, we have a problem."
"A soulless Angel?"
"How did you know?"
"Paige invited him in."
"I didn't mean to." Paige interjected.
"Did he come in?"
"No." Piper said.
"What about Spike. You didn't invite him in did you?"
"Um..."
"Piper!"
"Not me, Phoebe."
"Phoebe?" Leo asked noticing that she was facing the door and not moving, not even listening. "Phoebe?" Leo tried again touching her shoulder.
"What?" She jumped.
"Hi." Piper told her. "Thank you for joining us."
"Leo, when did you get here?"
"A few minutes ago."
"Oh."
"What happened?"
Phoebe didn't answer him; she just looked at him unsure of what to say.
"Pheebs, I wanted to ask you, why didn't Spike freeze?" Piper asked her suspiciously.
"He didn't freeze?" Leo echoed worriedly. "That only would've happened if he drank the blood of a witch and that didn't happen right?"
Suddenly Leo noticed that both Piper and Paige were staring at Phoebe's neck.
"Phoebe, you didn't." Piper moaned.
"I'm sorry. I didn't know he bit me." Phoebe explained.
"Phoebe, the only way that you wouldn't have felt it is if you slept with him." Leo told her.
"Phoebe? You didn't, right?" Paige said.
Phoebe turned away.
"Phoebe." Leo started again.
"Leo, honey, don't." Piper advised, walking over to Phoebe who was once again watching the door. "What's wrong?"
"I can feel him."
"Who?"
"Spike."
"Oh."
"He's following him."
"Who is following who?"
"Angelus is following Spike. He's going to kill him tonight." Phoebe said passionately. "We have to save him."
Piper looked to Leo. "How does she know all this?"
"He must have mated her. Made her his." Leo said when he noticed both Piper and Paige's blank faces. "She also should be able to sense where he is."
"He's at P3." Phoebe announced suddenly, running out the door, followed closely by Piper, Paige, and Leo.

Spike entered P3, stopping at the bar. A cold hand touched his shoulder causing him to turn around.
"Listen-" He stopped mid-sentence when he saw who was standing before him.
"My Spikey. The stars said I would find you here." Drusilla told him, running a nail up his cheek watching as blood trickled down his cheek, and then she leaned in to lick it away. "Your princess is ready for you to come home now."
