Chapter 4: Site Seeing

By: Rogue-Slayer13

Summary: See pervious chapters.

A/N: Okay just to clear a few things up. Angel signed his name as Angel, but as we all know, his actual name is Liam, so that's how the PTB could find a loop hole in it and just for my story, the PTB traded Illyria's soul for Fred's. After all, this is a fan fic so it doesn't have to be exactly correct on the details.

Fred got to Celeste's just after noon and found Spike waiting for her. He was looking off in the opposite direction and Fred managed to sneak up behind him and gave him a little push.

"Oh it's you," Spike said as he turned around.

"That's payback for yesterday," Fred replied.

Spike laughed, an actual deep happy laugh, something Fred hadn't heard him do before, but quickly decided that she liked it.

"So, what do you want to do first?" Spike asked.

"Hmm, you could show me some nice places to go shopping, that is if it isn't too girly for such a manly man as yourself." Fred smiled at Spike.

"We can go shopping, if that's what you want to do."

"I can't believe I'm wearing this!" exclaimed an embarrassed Fred as she and Spike walked down the street.

"I like how you've gotten your face that lovely shade of red within the last five minutes," Spike replied.

"Spike! People are starring. Guys are starring at me!"

"Luv, it's a good thing. You look bloody fantastic." Spike looked over at Fred.

They'd gone shopping and Spike had convinced her to buy a pair of black leather Doc Martens, a pair of low rise black leather pants, and a blood-red tank top. Fred bought it, but now she was beyond self-conscious.

"How could you do this to me!"

"How could I do this to you! You're the one that bought the bloody outfit."

"But people are ogling my goodies."

"Luv, I'll protect you and your goodies from any blokes who try to do anything more then starring."

Fred stopped walking and looked at Spike. "You promise?"

"Of course I do Luv. Would it make you feel better if I gave you my shirt?"

Fred thought about it for a moment. "Yes."

"Here ya go Pet." Spike slipped off his black long sleeve button up shirt that he had on over his white T-shirt and handed it to Fred.

"You're so sweet." Fred put on the shirt and then slipped her hand into Spike's.

"Okay, I got your ticket and booked your hotel."

"Thanks Andrew." Buffy took the ticket from Andrew and put it in her purse.

"Your plane leaves the day after tomorrow and it arrives at Heathrow late that night. You'll probably want to go to your hotel and then visit Spike in the morning."

"I can't believe that we don't get to go with you," Dawn said.

"You guys can go next time, I promise."

"Well at least tell him hello for us?" Dawn asked.

"I will."

"I had fun today."

It turned out that Spike and Fred didn't live too far away, so Spike decided to walk Fred home after their site seeing adventure.

"Me too Luv."

"Maybe we could get together later?"

"That'd be nice," Spike replied as he looked over at Fred.

Fred got a pen out of her purse and took Spike's hand in her free one. Spike watched as Fred quickly scribbled something on the back of his hand and then put the pen away.

"Call me sometime." Fred went inside her apartment building.

Spike looked down at his hand.

8555 4963, call me! Fred

Andrew was right, as soon as Buffy got off the plane all she wanted to do was sleep. She got into a cab and headed straight fro her hotel room.

"I'll visit Spike tomorrow." Buffy yawned as she put her suitcase at the foot of her bed.

Buffy called Dawn and Andrew to let them know that she'd gotten their okay and then she hoped into the shower and then got ready for bed.

Fred hurried through her apartment trying to out race the answering machine. Luckily she managed to answer the phone in time.

"Hello?" answered a breathless Fred.

"You okay Luv? Sound like you've been out for a run," Spike replied.

"Oh hey, I just had to run through the apartment trying to find the phone before the machine picked up."

"Okay, well I was wondering if you'd like to go out tonight, I know this great little pub a couple of blocks down the street."

"I'd love too."

"Great, um, want me to pick you up at eight?" Spike asked.

"That sounds fine."

"See ya then Luv."

"Bye," Fred replied as they both hung up.

"So, how do you know about this place?" Fred took a sip of her drink.

"Oh, it's close to home so I'm in 'ere all the time," Spike replied.

"I love it here."

"That's good Luv."
