I Have A Secret:
Xander, Spike, and Buffy were staring at something but we don't see what it is.
Spike: It's...big.
Xander: I don't know...I think Statue of Liberty could beat him in a fight.
(We turn to see they staring at, Lincoln Memorial.)
Spike: What do you think Buffy?
Buffy: Umm...I think he's staring at me. (Xander and Spike look at her and laugh)
Xander: You sure you guys will be okay while I go visit my grandmother?
Spike: We got the cell, your number, and money well be fine.
Buffy: Yeah.
Xander: I just feel bad leaving you guys like this with no car and nothing.
Spike: We this is downtown D.C we can walk to where we need to go.
Xander: (Unsure) Okay. (They start walking and Xander gets into the parked car) (Calling out from the car window) I'll see you guys in five or six hour's kay?
Buffy: Got it. (Xander takes off and Spike and Buffy wave and then stand there and then glance to each other and smile)
Late...Buffy and Spike are walking down the sidewalk. You can see the Washington Monument in back of them. Buffy has a Big Gulp in hand.
Spike: I say the Capital.
Buffy: (Whining) No...leave that to last.
Spike: (Shakes his head and smiles) Okay...where do you want to go?
Buffy: Well...how about we just walk...it's a nice day out.
Spike: Fine with me luv.
(Buffy smiles and they just keep walking)
Later...We see Buffy and Spike sitting at the steps facing the Reflection Pool and Washington Monument.
Spike: ...Harmony was someone I let slip away.
Buffy: Why'd you let her?
Spike: Because she wanted it...she wanted out of the relationship. I was a bad boyfriend.
Buffy: How so? You seem like an okay guy to me. (Smiles at him and he gives a small smile back)
Spike: Well...I didn't really pay that much attention to her. At the time I had this big project at work and I traveled a lot and spent late hours at the office.
Buffy: (Pauses and thinks) Workaholic?
Spike: Not so much. But to Harm I am.
Buffy: But look at you now...you are here sitting in D.C with me talking...doing nothing.
Spike: Yeah...I don't get it. Guess it goes back to that whole theory about how being around you changes people. (Buffy gets up and faces Spike) What?
Buffy: Stop saying that. (Starts walking)
(Spike looks confused for a moment and then gets up and goes after Buffy)
Spike: What? I meant that in a good way.
Buffy: I don't want to change anyone.
Spike: But I like the change you made to me.
(Buffy stops walking and turns to Spike)
Buffy: Look I don't want to screw with your life and I don't want you to with mine. So just STOP saying I affect you.
Spike: (Pauses and looks at Buffy) Something happened before...in your past that's similar to this... am I right?
Buffy: No. I'm just along for the ride to get to California...
Spike: But you live in New Jersey—
Buffy: Let's drop it.
Spike: Buffy—
Buffy: Let's stop before we end up fighting. Let's...let's get some lunch. (Buffy starts walking. Spike doesn't move at first he just watch's her leave and sighs and then follows)
Later...Spike and Buffy are sitting at a table outside at a restaurant. They are both looking at a menu but Buffy looks distracted. She puts down her menu and looks at Spike.
Buffy: (Quietly) I'm sorry I snapped at you.
(Spike glances at her)
Spike: It's alright.
Buffy: No it's not.
Spike: (Puts his menu down) I just want to know more about you pet...I don't work for the FBI. (Buffy looks at Spike and then down)
Buffy: My past is something that is not effecting me now so...theirs no reason to bring it up.
Spike: Well...then why are you going to California?
Buffy: To move there.
Spike: Okay. That's all I want to know.
Buffy: Okay. (They both nod and get back to reading their menus)
Later...Buffy and Spike are sitting on the steps of the Capital; you can see the sun setting.
Buffy: (Looks in the distance then turns to Spike) You think you'll go back and try to get Harmony back?
Spike: I don't know...probably not...she doesn't want to get back together...loves a complicated thing you know?
Buffy: No.
Spike: Huh?
Buffy: I don't know...I never had it...love.
(She turns back and watches the sun come keep going down. Spike just keeps looking at her and then finally turns away but looks down at the steps)
Xander: (O.S) Guys!
(Buffy and Spike turn and see Xander approach them)
Xander: Sorry I'm late.
Buffy: It's okay.
Spike: No problem. (They both get up)
Xander: Enjoy D.C?
Spike: It's nice.
Buffy: Yeah. (Smiles)
Xander: What to get some dinner?
Spike/ Buffy: Sure.
Xander: I'll get the car. (Leaves)
(Buffy and Spike give each other a glance then follow Xander)
