Spike lay on the floor now next to Buffy's bed, his back leaned up against the wall and he held a blood soaked kleenex against his nose. Dawn had run down the stairs to get Willow and the others, just as she ran down Spike heard the door slam and people walk through the door. He instintly knew it was the Potentials and Giles, the british curses and teenage rambleing was a dead center. Willow soon came up the stairs with Giles in tow who stopped at the door to look at Buffy.
" My god." He trailed off, Willow knealed down by Spike, glancing at the still sleeping Buffy and then turned attention to Spike as he tossed the kleenex into the trash bin.
" How could it come back? I thought you passed it to Buffy." Willow asked confused.
" Maybe the serum really is working, and it just passed back to me." Spike said looking at Buffy again.
" That doesn't sound likely." Said Riley from behind Giles.
" How long has it been?" Giles asked Riley.
" About 40 minutes since we brought her back." He said looking at his feet.
" 10 minutes left." He said bleakly.
" She will wake up." Willow said confidently.
" Then I'll die. But at least she'll be alive."
" We'll find away to keep you un-dead."
" Do we really have too?" Riley asked from the back, Willow, Spike, and Giles all looked at him. " Just joking..."
" Riley, not a good time." Willow growled at him. " To bad there isn't a spell or something that can just fix this."
" Well...." Giles shifted unconfterably in the back.
" Well?" Dawn, Willow, and Spike asked looking at him.
" There.... Well there is a spell.... For something like this...." Giles took off his glasses and cleaned them.
" Why didn't you tell me that when I told you about all of this hours ago?!" Dawn asked standing up.
" Because it's a very diffucult spell and it can only be used to heal one person, even the chances of that person being healed are less then half." Giles replied putting his glasses back on.
" I don't care! What ever will save Buffy and Spike-" Dawn began.
" It'll only save one." Giles said sternly, they were silent for a few minutes, everyone probably thinking the same thing untill Spike acually said it.
" Buffy." Spike said looking at her limp form. " Save her." He layed his head against the wall very tired.
" How long has it been now?" Willow asked Riley.
" 5 minutes, by the looks of it Spike's condition is worsening, both he and Buffy may only have 10 minutes left." Riley said crossing his arms.
" This isn't fair." Dawn said shaking her head, she looked almost as if she was going to cry, same as Willow.
" I'll go set up for the spell." Giles said walking out of the room, Riley, Sam, and Xander follwed him.
" The chosen few aren't so good with goodbyes eh?" Willow said laughing a little. " You were a good guy, I wish the spell could save you too.... I'm so sorry." Willow stood up and started to leave the room, " Bye Spike." And left the room. Dawn stood by the doorjam, crying a little bit.
" I don't hate you anymore, I'll tell Clem you said Bye too...." Dawn nodded, Spike stood up shakly still leaning against the wall.
" I'm just gonna stay in here for a while. Thanks nibblet.. For a lot." Spike nodded, " See ya." Dawn waved and walked out of the room.
" Jus' you 'n me eh beautiful?" Spike said walking over to the other side of her bed and collapsed in it. " Hope ya don't mind a little dust on your bed when you wake up. That surem thing and the spell outta make it so you wake up. I'm sorry.... I don't know how many times I've told you luv, but I am. I'm sorry for what I did to you.... Sorry for hurting you, 'n for anything else. Can't think all that straight right now...." He sighed, " Fine mess I got myself into eh? I'll tell you mum you said hi when I get to heaven.... And if I don't I'll give Satan a good punch or two in the nose for ya. Looks like we only got 'bout a minute left. Oh god I want to see you awake again and tell you goodbye, I got my soul for you, so I always thought that my death was in your hands. Maybe you and Red can make sure I get a good spot up there, lil' magick open'n the pearly gates eh?" Spike coughed and rested his head back on the pillow more. " Really tired now. His eyes slowly started close and it seemed like he fell asleep, then...
" Spike?" Asked a frail voice next to him. Buffy stood up on her hands and looked over at Spike resting next to her. " Spike wake up." She said sternly, she waited a few seconds and suddenly her eyes became wide and puffy. " Oh god no...." She scooted close to him and leaned over him, her hands grabbing his. " Goodbye...." She said and leaned her head down, kissing him on the lips for what seemed like ever.
" Buffy?" Dawn asked standing by the door. " Is he....?"
" I think so...." Buffy said resting her fore head against his for a while and looked up at her, tears running down her cheeks. Then suddenly a cough came from Spike's once still body and he raised a hand to stop his coughing to see Buffy's fingers linked with his. " Spike?!" Buffy asked looking at him.
" Buffy?" Spike looked at her wide-eyed. " Oh god we're both dead."
" No! We're alive!" Buffy hugged him hard, Spike returned the hug.
" But how?" Dawn asked looking at the two, " You know I'm gonna give you a few minutes alone, I think I'm scared enough already." Dawn ran down the stairs to where Riley, Xander, Giles, Sam, and Willow stood over a large book.
" Did it work? Is Buffy alive?" Willow asked, she leaned over the book, looking out of breath.
" Yeah, and so is Spike!" Dawn said smiling.
" What? How did that happen? The books says only one will be saved." Giles said confused.
" I dunno, but I wouldn't go up there, their all with the smoochy and hugyness." Dawn said crossing her arms.
" Wait.... The spell says that if anyone is touching the another person when the spell comes into effect, the healing will be passed to that other person. Buffy must have woken up before the spell from the serum and passed it to Spike right when the spell was set!" Willow said smiling.
" Hey they're both okay! Ew their smooching...." Xander said shuddering.
" We should do some smooching too." Riley said hugging Sam close to him.
" Okay I'm sick of everyone saying smoochie." Dawn said shaking her head.
" As am I." Giles sighed as he started to clean his glasses again.
