Imzadi: Ohhh. Yeah, I see it now. lol. I don't know much about Lindsay, but now that you say that, I get it. Thanks for the suggestion though, you'll just have to keep reading to find out if I put him in =) lol. (and if I do, is there anyone you liked to see him with? (not that I am. . . Well I might be))

Yeah, Angel and Cordelia are his parents. But Cordy's really only his stepmother. But it'll be explained more later on.

Pumpkinbelly: Yeah, it is gonna be a Connor/Dawn romance, and sorry about the confusion, it'll be explained more so in the next few chapters.

Anyways, thanks for reviewing guys.
Spike and Buffy were at the back of the group, watching over the happy tourists on their horses. Dawn had offered to come, but instead of staying back, she was well ahead, happily next to Connor. Buffy wasn't complaining that she had left her and Spike alone though.

"Sorry 'bout earlier luv," he said, looking over at her. "Didn't mean to snap at ya."

"Its fine. I can understand why."

"You mad?"

"Mad, me? Remember, I don't have a bad side," she said, smiling.

"In that case, you wanna get rid of this group?"

Buffy looked over at him confused.

"Leave. Do you want to leave? We could go for our own trail ride. Alone," Spike said, smiling.

"Hmmm . . . It seems so wrong . . . Count me in," Buffy said. "But its not like we can just turn off the trail. I think someone'd notice if two big butted horses weren't there anymore."

"Who says we have to care?"

Buffy smiled. "Which way?"
The section of woods that Buffy and Spike had turned onto didn't have one specific trail. Or any at all. It was just woods. But still, Spike seemed able to find his way around.

It was starting to get dark, the sun was beginning to change colours, and Buffy wasn't sure how they would find their way back if it did get dark. Sure Spike knew his way around, but could he do it without being able to see? And what type of animals lived out there anyway?

"Spike, it's getting dark," Buffy yelled up to him. "Maybe we should head back."

"Don't worry pet," he said, turning quickly. "There's nothing out here that'd eat you."

"I knew that," she said, but paused. "Are you sure?"

He laughed. "Positive. If there were, I'd know. Trust me."

'Trust you,' she thought. 'I think I can do that.'
.:a/n:. I was planning on making this a really long chapter. But my plans changed and I don't know when I'll be able to write soon again. So I wanna put this out. Just to get a few replies. Hopefully to my question that I asked, lol. So I know where to go if I decide to go there. Lol.
