Chapter Title: Make It Stay

Part: 4/4

"We shouldn't do this anymore."

"Why not?"

"It's wrong... and I'm lying to my friends..."

"Then tell them the truth."

"They wouldn't understand."

"Maybe not, but they would try to. They're your friends, Buffy."

"Spike, I just... This isn't right."

"What isn't right about it?"

"You're a heartless, soulless, evil, murdering... creature!"

"Thanks. But just so you know, I have a heart; it just doesn't work. If you want me to, I'll get a soul, and I can't murder humans anymore thanks to this chip. Any other reasons this can't work?"

"We can never have a real date."

"Late night movie and moonlit walks on the beach, in the park, or by the lake."

"You've really thought this out, haven't you?"

"I don't want to lose you again."
