After the Apoclyce episode season seven, episode 22
PART I
Buffy slept one night. It seemed unusually cold for a summer night. It had been an entire week she had spent happy, but not quite since Spike had burned to save them all, the world too from the evil of all evil, the first.
Buffy's POV
He had died, to save us. I know it was what he knew she should have done, but I miss him. He shouldn't have died for me! I should have given Angel the medal, so Spike would be around still. I mean, Angel was the one who betrayed me and all my friends. At least with Spike the worst he did was only misunderstood. I vowed I would tell him the truth, only him. But when I finally told him, he ended up dying! If only things were different!
Normal
Buffy walked the cold earth. She had nothing to do at all. No more slayer duties, no more life. All she had to do was find work. That was all she could do beside care for Dawn. But I wanted to marry him There was this nagging feeling in the back of her head that kept telling her that she had been the one for Spike, soulmate, and gratefully been protected in cases she could not protect herself, and created most like him in the world.
The next few days, she felt sad, and couldn't think of anything besides Spike. The nagging voice in her head was too much for her all she could think was Spike Spike Spike Spike Spike Spike Spike Spike Spike!
Buffy's POV
Days came and went for me. I felt lost and unable to do anything. Being a slayer was literally a huge chunk of my life, and even the other chunk, my love life and my sister, were related to the slayer and demonic world I used to live in. Dawn, the key/my sister, and Giles, my watcher/ex librarian of my high school, Willow, witch/best friend, and Xander, best friend who lost his right eye to a demon. But the most important, most reminding thing of my past life was the crypt...Spike's crypt. The one where many revelations were witnessed, and where I first decided to be his forever...unknown by him...until his burning day. I got home from a new job I had gotten, Dawn wasn't home yet and as I put my coat down, my eyes fell on the container that held his ashes...Spike I thought sadly as I went to turn on the TV.
I decided to try to take his ashes to my room, to be with me when I was sad. That just made me more unable to think of anything besides Spike. I called Willow...
CODE: WR=WILLOW ROSENBURG AND BS=BUFFY SUMMERS
Beep...Beep...
WR: Hello?
BS: This is Buffy Willow... um. You don't happen to have any spells to bring back people from the um. Where the undead dead go?
WR: Yes, I do. But Buffy!
BS: Yes.
WR: I know you're talking about Spike. Why do you care?
BS: Er.
WR: Tell me. I won't get mad. It's not like I'm gonna tell Giles!
BS: I know you wouldn't, but the truth is Will, I haven't told the truth to you guys about me and Spike. When he and I um. You know, it wasn't out of grief.
WR: What do you mean?
BS: It wasn't out of grief because... because- it was out of love.
WR: You loved him?!
BS: Yes, the whole time.
WR: Wait a minute... the whole time!
BS: Yeah.
WR: Tell me more cause this sounds kind of confusing.
BS: When I met Spike, it was at that school conference, remember.
WR: Yeah. Where he broke in the school to kill you.
BS: Truth is, I thought he was cute all along, but he was so evil...I kind of dig that you know.
WR: Your past can prove that!
BS: Well, anyway, he was always an equal to me; we both could fight well, and both had enormous strength. We would fight nearly everyday. In a way, for us, it was kind of, you know, flirting or whatever...
WR: Your fighting was flirting!?...that means that you have been flirting with him since you were 18, that means...woah! You have been flirting for 5 years!
BS: Not quite, but...yeah, we have.
WR: Creepy...!
BS: Listen, DO you have any spells for that kind of Magick?
WR: Yes, I do but Buffy, you sure you want to do this, I mean, if he comes back, how are you going to explain that you love him to the others...I mean you did to me, but with Giles...and Xander...
BS: I'll deal with it, he is like, the last demon in the world, so they should be OKAY with it. And besides, I no longer have slayer duties that they could say I've missed...
WR: But Buffy, you have to do it on your own.
BS: But I'm not a witch!
WR: All you need for this is someone who loved him, or someone with magical world, [magic] experience...and you've are both! ï
BS: Okay, Bye!

Buffy POV
I hung up the phone, and got my coat, I was going to the Magick Shop.
Once there, I put my coat on a rack and went to see Giles for a book.
Normal
BUFFY: Giles?
GILES: yes?
Giles came into the room, surprised that she would visit him as soon as she got home from work.
BUFFY: I need a book on spells. Can I get a discount?
GILES: Uh, Yes, yes, I do suppose you could. How about 10.50 instead of the usual of 34.80? But what are you planning to do?
BUFFY: Uh. I don't know yet, um...-it's for Willow!
Giles: Okay, here...
He handed her a book.
She ran home and opened the book, and looked at the pages she needed.
BRINGING BACK THE UNDEAD FROM THE DEAD
Ingredients:
1 slice from a pig: translation bacon
Heart of lamb
Sand mixed with blood
Directions: Heat the heart up to 400
degrees. While heart is heating for 5 minutes, pour the sand mixed with
blood in a circle while you think of the name of the deceased in your head,
Chanting the name might help if the spell is not useful. The slice of pig, known
Mostly as bacon should be tied (or wrapped if possible) around the heart. Note: The
Bacon must be cold as warmth meets the cold in this spell. Place the heart and bacon
In the circle. Sit behind the ingredients and chant the name of which you wish to bring
Back from the dead.
Warning the newly revived person may require clothing right away, as some may be ripped, not there
or bedraggled. The dead sadly, will be able to sometimes guess what you are thinking anytime of day.
EW! Really disgusting here! (Buffy POV)
Normal
Buffy did the spell. She waited tireless hours for her lover. He would soon be there, with her. She knew it had to come true. She had fallen asleep. When she woke up...
