Chapter: 1
It had been exactly one week since the incident at Sunny Dale. It was a mid-summer day. Buffy was out walking around. As she walked, she thought about only one thing, Spike. The words that he had told her, kept running through her mind. She sighed as she focused her thoughts on him. "I wander what he would've said if I had told him sooner that I loved him?"... The more she thought, the worse she got. She wished over and over again that she could just see Spike one last time, but then again, the other side of her kept telling her that it was time to move on. Time to do something different. Time to make a change.
She sat down on a bench at the park to try and keep relaxed, hoping it would help her. She looked around and stared at all the happy families. "I'll never have one of those. I've lost all of my friends, and what little family I had." Then a tear rolled down her cheek.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, someone came up behind her and startled her by touching her shoulder. "Now I wouldn't say that.." a voice said. She turned around, only to realize that it was Spike. Everything about him was different. His hair his clothes, and other things. "S..S..Spike? Is it really you?" she asked. "Yes! It's me! Alive and well!.." he responded. She stood up and walked over to him. More tears began to roll down her face because she was so happy to see him. She hugged him and said..."Spike. how did this happen?.." "Well. If you ask me, I think it was the amulet of champion that you gave me.." he replied. " So. I guess Angel was right. It was meant to be worn by a champion. Someone with a soul, but more than human. " she said. "Yep! That would be me!" "But what happened to you?" she asked. "Well the vampire side of me dusted, and I was brought back to life. Now... I'm human again. Just like you Buffy!" "Spike. I've missed you so much! I thought you were dead!" she said. "Nope! Was for a minute, well, for a long, long time! But not anymore! Because Spike's back! And I'm alive!" he said that, then walked back over to Buffy.
He hugged her, and stroked her hair. "Buffy. I want you to know that I love you. I always have, and I always will. No matter what anyone says, and I'm sorry that I denied that you didn't love me, because I always knew you did. I only said what I said to you, because I had to. I'm sorry if I upset you in any way. But now I'm back, and I wanted to let you know that!" he said that, and she put a smile on her face. "I love you too Spike!" "So. Where are the others?" He began asking some questions. "We decided that it would be best if we all went our own separate ways..."
"Hmm.... and let me guess. You have spent the last week wandering about me. Where I was? If I had survived. Am I right?" Buffy giggled while thinking to herself."It's like he read my mind.. How did you guess?" she asked him. "hey..what can I say? I know you!" he replied. Buffy started talking to him about how she needed a place to stay, and that she was very, very tired. He told her that he knew a place about three hours away. So Buffy agreed to stay with him there, and Spike drove all the way to his house that he had gotten.
