"William what are you doing", asked Buffy as she reached the edge of the
cemetery at the same time as him
"Don't call me that I'm no one I'm not Spike the vampire and I'm not William the angel, I'm nobody", screamed Spike on the verge of tears
"You are someone, you're very important and I love you. To me you've never been William or Spike you're a combination and you're a person who is worthy of love no matter what name you go by", said Buffy as she gently took his hand in hers
"You can't be serious after all the death and destruction I've done, all the people I've hurt", replied Spike as he walked towards his crypt
"Tell me then who was it that sat by my bed because I asked him too, who pulled me out of my grave, who helped me when I wouldn't listen to my Mother in heaven when she told me that my friends would be okay, and who stood by me when I had to face Glory a god that made others run in fear", lectured Buffy
"But who am I William talked to you in heaven and Spike was the one who helped you on earth", asked Spike as he walked into his crypt followed by Buffy
"You are one person in my eyes because you both came from the same roots of a person and you still have a purpose, in a way your punishment isn't that you have an identity crisis it's that you stay here and be strong and fight the good fight as one of the Scooby's instead of being the outside that was once a mortal enemy", said Buffy as she looked into Spikes eyes
"Will you stay and help me", asked Spike still not completely understanding
"Of course as long as you stay with me", smiled Buffy as she gave Spike a hug and he excepted it
"Just do me a favor if I'm fighting completely for the white hats don't stop me from giving Angel a call and rubbing it in his face that I have a soul, I'm human, and my luv who told me she loves me is Buffy Summers", laughed Spike as he looked at Buffy
"May be not rub it in to his face just mention it, that way it will only add ten years to his brooding expectancy instead of another hundred", answered Buffy
"Okay but can we get out of here I never noticed how cold it is in here", replied Spike
"No problem William you can stay at the house but we got to figure out how to face Giles when he gets back I think he's going to blow a few screws", stated Buffy as they walked out of the crypt hand in hand
"Don't worry we'll think of something even if it means running away and hiding until he cools and Thanks Buffy", said Spike as they walked through the cemetery
"Thanks for what", asked a perplexed Buffy
"For being your self and making me taste like dust to Drusilla so it would set the chain of events that would make me love you and human and able to take this walk", answered Spike as he held his head high
For a moment Buffy didn't know what he was talking about then she looked at the horizon and noticed that the sun was rising ahead of them. The magnificent colors of the sun had put them into direct sun light, which Spike hadn't been with out fear of turning to dust for over a hundred years.
