As Buffy walked back towards the conference room she couldn't help but wonder how the others would deal seeing there old friends and family again when they hadn't seen them for so long. Even more than that she was being bugged by the fact that she was still unsure of how to tell Spike the truth but considering were she was she had all the time in the world. When she walked into the conference room Spike was the only one there and he was sitting in a chair leaned back with his feet on the table looking like he was about to burst at the seams from being so happy.

"Hi luv how you feeling", asked Spike

"Great got some surprises for when everyone gets their little selves gone", said Buffy wondering why he also look like he had a surprise

"So what's your surprise", asked Spike

"I'm not telling yet you see at times you can be a blabber mouth and I don't think you need to know just yet", replied Buffy

"So were going to play it that way are we, well there's something that I've wanted to do since we became friends but the pesky little demons stopped me", said Spike as he slowly got up and walked to Buffy

"And what might that be", asked Buffy knowing she was finally getting the perfect balance between Spike and William and she was so happy that he had chose the middle instead of the extremes

"Tickle you", answered Spike as he got a hold of her with a laugh and fell back to the chair and started tickling her sides, "Now are you going to tell me what the secret is", asked Spike over Buffys giggles

"No way", said Buffy as she laughed uncontrollably

Then one of the doors open and out walks Giles who still had the kid Giles following him

"Can nothing get any worst", Giles screamed then he turned back into the room and slammed the door

"What's the matter with Giles", asked Spike as he stopped tickling Buffy

"Some people just have trouble coming to terms with the past even if it means a lot happier future", replied Buffy as she sat up in Spikes lap. To Spikes shock she stayed there on his lap and made to attempt to get off and say it was nothing.

"I know what you mean that little bugger that I had to deal with was just a tad bit irritating", said Spike trying not to read into things to much

"Yah well it's just odd that Giles is getting so upset he's going to be able to see Jenny soon", stated Buffy

"May be that's what he's afraid of he has changed a lot in the past few years since Jenny died he's no longer a guy who is innocent and cleans his glasses. He's a guy who has made many wrong moves who cleans his glasses ", said Spike with a laugh

"The only thing is that Jenny knows how he's change and she doesn't care she still loves him", replied Buffy

"How do you know that", asked a curious Spike as he arched his eye brow

"I have my ways", smiled a sly Buffy

Then there was a knock on the door

"I guess I can let you into the secret", said Buffy as the door opens and in walks Darla and Dru

"Hay Buffy, Everything is almost ready", informed Dru with a smile

"We'll make sure the others get there fine. You and Spike run off and have some fun, the PTB say the others are going to take a while longer to absorb their child selves", added Darla

"Cool thanks so much for the help", replied Buffy as she got off of Spikes lap and took his hand as he stood up, "We have some work to do that will help you and the others so lets move"
