Invisi-Spike Chapter 6
3rd person POV
A/N: Ookay, I know, Dawn grew up a lot. Anger does amazing things to people, doesn't it? Just stick with me here. I'll get back to the Spuffiness in no time.
Thank you Jess for the reviews.
Disclaimer: Okay, so, I saw Joss walking around on the set of the WB. I walked up to him and introduced myself. I tried to be nice, really, I did. But I just couldn't myself! I tried to convince him that Buffy and Spike belonged together and that Spike should not be out and about killing people. Joss nodded calmly before exploding on me. He started screeching like a mad man about how all things Buffy belonged to him, and ONLY HIM! He kinda started to freak me out at that point, so I backed off slowly, very, very slowly.
Everyone shifted uncomfortably in his or her seats. Tara coughed politely. Anya began to fidget. It was obvious by the expression on her face that she really wanted to say something, but was attempting to cut back on her bluntness. Finally after five more minutes of fidgeting, she couldn't help herself. "Dawn is right. No matter how much we want to ignore it, we force Buffy to act differently than she would if we didn't intimidate her." At Willows, Giles, Dawns, and Xander's' skeptical looks she went on, "Not in a slayer way, she easily has us beat there. But what about Buffy Summers? The girl who has had to deal with so many hard things by herself. I could feel her pain miles away. You think she's selfish for wanting to be with Spike without asking you if it were okay first." Xander started to protest, but she held up her hand to silence him. "But she's the most selfless person I know. Well. besides vengeance demons, they are the most selfless beings in the world. Everything they do is for others. Now whether their intentions are 'good and evil' or not th-"
"Anya, get back to the point," Xander cut her off.
"Sorry. The point is, she has changed everything about her life to make you happy. She has hidden emotions, acted like she was fine, when on the inside, she was dying." At their blank looks, she continued, "Let's see." She began counting off on her fingers. "She has. killed her first love. Taken every bashing you could think of about Angel. Killed by a vampire, happens to most of the younger ones, really. During her senior year of high school, she has had to save the world from ending, stop an ascension, deal with her love for a vampire, whom you hated. Had to deal with another slayer, Faith. And don't even get me started on college. She was hurting and feeling bad, but you were to caught up in your own business to notice her. The sex, the parties, the clubs. She has sacrificed herself countless times for you people specifically, and do you stop to thank her? No, of course not. Because everything is about you. And if she needs some time to deal with herself, say a summer, after she banished her souled boyfriend to hell, you penalized her! If this is how you treat friends, I'm not so sure I want to be yours." She got up and marched out, the front door softly clicking behind her.
A/N: I know, major Anya realization!!! Amazing, isn't it? Even though Anya is incredibly blunt, I think she is brilliant, although she COULD learn a little about the realm of subtlety in a lot of cases. What did you think? Come on, don't be shy!
