Invisi-Spike Chapter 5
Dawn POV
A/N: Broadening the POVS. I figured that it would be highly unlikely if there wasn't anything from any one else's POV, so, here goes. Oh, and sooo extremely sorry about the delay. Think, finals, incredibly huge research papers, dance performances, play performances, and two band concerts. Yeaah, there you go.

I sat at the dining room table, listening to the others talk. The others consisted of Tara, Willow, Giles, Anya, and Xander. I sipped a glass of soda as I observed them. They were having a very interesting debate about what was best for Buffy.
"Surely, you can't be proposing that Buffy and Spike. that she returns his feelings." Giles said incrediously.
"But she does," Tara insisted calmly. "She is just scared that everyone is going to judge her."
"Yeah, with good reason too!" Xander exclaimed angrily. "After the whole Angel fiasco, one should hope that she would not go with the undead."
"I feel this whole idea is preposterous!" Giles added. "She is a slayer, not a vampire lover. She should not be having sexual or romantic interactions with the undead. She has already gone down that path and it has led her nowhere."
"M-maybe that wouldn't happen again," Willow said meekly. "I mean, Spike isn't exactly like Angel in any way, a-and, Spike has been, you know, fighting the good fight for a couple of years now."
"I for one would like to correct Willow," Xander said. "Spike has been working with the good guys for almost two years, closer to one and a half."
I sat there, my annoyance growing considerably. They started full on arguing, all of them talking at once. "Guys," I said. "GUYS!" There, that shut them up. "First off, Buffy is old enough to make her own decisions. Whether you like it or not Xander," I glared at him. "Spike is a good guy. He loves Buffy and me and has proven that multiple times. Besides," my voice changed into an icy sneer. "What help have we been? We were the ones who ripped Buffy from heaven, not the Powers That Be, not a demon. She did not leave there willingly. We, HER FRIENDS did this to her. And if she needs to be with Spike, someone who loves her, to be happy, I sure as hell am not going to stand in her way. And I will make sure that no one else does either. If he breaks her heart, and you, XANDER, make one, just one, wisecrack, I swear on everything that I know, you will wish you NEVER said anything."
Everyone shifted uncomfortably in their seats. I nodded, happy with my speech and plopped back down into my chair. I grabbed a magazine from the center of the table and began flipping through it nonchalantly.
