When they finally reached the house Dawn stopped. How was she going to do this? Okay, so she could be smart and go straight in and they could all 'oooh' 'aaaah' and be done with it, but seriously, where was the fun in that?! And then, the idea, oh yes, one of those fantastically evil things that were conjured within the mind of Dawn Summers. Dawn took Xander v2.0 around the back and left him on the porch, going inside she made sure that Xander was safely in the kitchen and then disappeared down to the basement.

"You what? Not a chance kid. What the hells wrong with you, why would you want me to do that anyway?" The eyebrow was raised and the face evidently amused. Damn him.

"Christ Spike, just please do it. It won't kill you, you're already dead." He blanched. Score. Then reared. Not the effect she had hoped for. Plan B going into activation. Dawn spun on her heel and started up the stairs.

"Don't you swear. Where the bleedin' hell do you pick up words like that!?" She turned and glared, he stopped dead, oh yeah, crap, him. Still no excuse. "You're off your rocker chit. Now get out of here." She glared some more, standing completely still. "Alright, alright. I'll bleedin' well do it. Dunno why though. You're a crazy bird." She grinned. The cat just got the cream.

Dawn left Spike in the dining room with curtains drawn after an eventful couple of minutes manoeuvring him in there without the 'poof' factor and a pile of dust. Dawn then got Xanderv2.0 to stand in the hallway, out of direct eyeshot of the dining room. Going back she stood in front of a very bored Spike and whispered 'now!'.

"Xanderrrrrrrrrrrrr!" A panicked scream could be heard from the dining room in a voice strangely similar to Dawn's. Seconds' later two figures burst into the room simultaneously from opposite ends to see a vamped Spike leaning over Dawn's exposed neck. They then noticed each other, just as they collided. As they both hit the floor the looks upon the faces were entirely opposite. One of sheer amusement and the other of sheer shock, with a dash of panic. All of a sudden both faces turned to look at Dawn again, equally surprised to see a very human looking Spike standing directly next to her looking between the two bodies sprawled on the floor.

"Well bugger me. Who died and brought back hell?" He turned to Dawn, who rolled her eyes, and a smirked played on his lips before becoming full blown. "Oh yeah, that would be me!"
