When Buffy arrived home Spike was reading on the couch. "What are you reading?"

"Shakespeare, interesting fellow, described you a couple of times." Spike answered not looking up.

"He did not. Unlike some people in this room, I wasn't alive back then."

"Hey neither was I. Shakespeare was well before my time."

"Whatever, What does it say about me?"

"O, when she's angry she is keen and shrewd! She was a vixen when she went to school; And though she be but little, she is fierce." Spike quoted finally staring up at her.

"Wow, I thought Shakespeare was supposed to be romantic comedies and stuff."

"He did Tragedies and Histories too, but this is from a 'romantic comedy.' Midsummer's Night Dream. My favorite part is when these two couples are lost in the woods and the fairies make the wrong people fall in love, causes both couples quite a bit of heartache. "The course of true love never did run smooth."

"Amen," Buffy nodded sitting down.

Spike stared over at her. "Okay enough sitting around feeling sorry for ourselves. I'm taking you to the only time I've ever seen you happy without Angel."

"And when was that?" Buffy asked startled by Spike's casual use of Angel's name.

"Dancing" He smiled "I'm giving you twenty minutes to get ready. You chose to live in L.A. now you have to experience the night life."

Buffy bolted out of the room smiling. This was crazy, going out partying with Spike was definitely crazy, but in a weird way it was fun and she needed more fun in her life.

Spike smiled, if anything was going to help improve the Slayer's mood it would be this. "Was ever woman in this humor wooed? Was ever woman in this humor won?"

Buffy had to admit that Spike knew a lot of great L.A Clubs. It was incredible to think that she'd been here three months and never gone clubbing. That's because it would have reminded you too much of the Bronze and Angel.

"Luv," Spike spoke waking Buffy out of her thoughts. "I thought we could try one more bar. It's kind of different, but I think if you have an open mind it could help."

"What kind of bar is it?" Buffy asked curiously.

"The kind run by a demon." Spike answered, "But a good demon." He assured her, "All kinds of lost souls end up there and all find some kind of peace."

"Okay, I'm not only intrigued, but I'm in. Lead the way, oh wise one."
