Sleepless in Kansas City
The whole car ride to Kansas was quiet between Buffy and Spike. The guys and Buffy checked into their hotel rooms and turned in without dinner. Xander exited his hotel room in his pajamas and walked down the hall and went to the vending machine and got some pretzels. When he turned around he saw Buffy sitting alone at the breakfast area at a table.
Xander: Buffy?
Buffy: Hey Xander.
Xander: What are you doing here? (Checked his watch) It's 2 A.M.
Buffy: Couldn't sleep.
Xander: Yeah, me too...needed a snack. Want some? (Held out the bag to offer her some)
Buffy: Nah.
(Xander sat down across Buffy)
Xander: So...tell the Xandman what's bothering you. (He then popped a pretzel in his mouth)
Buffy: It's just stuff...
Xander: Is it Spike?
Buffy: How did you—
Xander: It's no big secret Buffy. You two...have a connection, yes?
Buffy: I guess. (Looks down at her hands)
Xander: You don't think so?
Buffy: Yes. No. I don't know.
Xander: Did something happen between you two?
Buffy: Why...did he say something to you?!
Xander: No...but that's the problem...he's sitting in that room not wanting to talk which is a little unusual.
Buffy: Well it is 2 A.M. (Joking)
Xander: (Giving her a look 'you know what I mean') Buffy.
(Buffy looks at Xander and decides to give in)
Buffy: Everything is just so screwed up! (Gets up and starts to walk around) Spike and I kissed...and I don't know what to do...so I told him it was best to forget it ever happened...and now...(Sighs out of frustration)
Xander: Do you want to forget about it?
Buffy: It would be easy if I just could but...no, I don't. I liked it. I really like him.
Xander: Well...good cause I know he REALLY likes you.
Buffy: But now he hates me cause I told him to forget about us.
Xander: Why DID you say that?
Buffy: Because...I'm scared. Bottom line is...I'M SCARED.
Xander: Scared of being hurt?
Buffy: No...hurting him. (Xander looked confused) The last relationship I was in... it didn't end well...I broke up with him. It was awful. I hurt him so bad but I didn't mean to...I ...I just....I don't want to hurt Spike.
Xander: You realize you are hurting him now.
Buffy: I know.
Xander: Spike loves you.
(Buffy stares at Xander and he gave her another one of those 'Oh come on you knew' looks)
Xander: He loves you...and I'm thinking you are the first girl he actually really loves.
Buffy: (Softly) Really?
Xander: Really.
(Xander got up and gave Buffy a pat on the back and headed off to his room)
Next Day...
Xander and Spike exited their room and saw Buffy ready to go with her luggage. She gets up and walks over to them; Xander gives her a wink and goes to check out.
Buffy: Spike can I talk to you?
Spike: Sure...what about?
Buffy: Well you see it's sort of about everything...I've being thinking and—
Girl: Spike!! (Spike and Buffy turned and saw a blonde girl with sunglasses and 3 pieces of luggage standing in the hallway. She took off her sunglasses and smiled.)
Girl: Hi!!
Spike: (Shocked) Harmony?
Harmony ran up and gave Spike a big hug that he didn't really expect but he then put his arm around her and hugged her back. Buffy just moved away from the two and had the face of total rejection.
