Part Five: Midnight Snack

Buffy sat on the couch looking at Spike. She let out a deep sigh. "Ok, we've been trying to figure this out for two hours and have come up with nothing."

"You know pet, I don't think we'll be able to patrol like this. Bunnies just aren't real intimidating ya know?"

"Crap! You're right. I guess the rest of the Scoobies will have to do it for a while."

"Little problem there luv. They are all gone for the summer."

"Ugh! I'm getting a headache Spike!" Buffy said with exasporation.

"Yeah me too. Look, I'm tired and out of smokes. Think I'll go to bed and we can figure this out tomorrow." He stood up and started out of the room.

"I really don't think we should be alone until we find out what caused this Spike."

Spike grinned to himself and stepped toward Buffy. "You know luv, if you want to sleep with me, all you have to do is say so."

Rolling her eyes, yet fighting the urge to take him up on that offer, Buffy looked at Spike. "Hardly Spike! I just think we ought to stay close. You can sleep on the couch and I will take the recliner. There will be no sleeping together!"

They both lay down and tried to sleep.

Thirty minutes later:

"Spike? You asleep?"

"Nope. Cant seem to sleep with this huge furry ball sticking out of my ass."

"Yeah, I know the feeling. You hungry?" She asked feeling her stomach growl.

"Actually, now that you mention it, I am a little peckish."

"Come on, we can go raid the kitchen."

They walked into the kitchen. Spike went to the fridge and looked inside while Buffy stormed the pantry.

"What sounds good Babs?" Spike asked.

"Babs?"

"Yeah, you know. Like Babs bunny." He told her with a wink. She laughed slightly and said. "Surprise me Buster."

Grabbing some food items and a couple cans of pepsi, Spike headed to the table.

"Come on, we can eat in the living room. It's more comfortable." Buffy told him. They grabbed their items and headed to the living room. Spike sat on the couch quickly followed by Buffy.

She was just about to say something when Spike shoved something into her mouth. Unsure of what it was but surprised at how good it tasted, she chewed it up and swallowed.

"What was that Spike?" She asked him.

"Sure you wanna know pet?"

Thinking for a second, she looked at him. "Yeah."

"Ok then, it was cold pizza dipped in double dutch ice cream and topped with salsa and onion powder."

"That sounds awful Spike!" She told him.

"That's why I didn't tell you before. Knew you wouldn't try it. Pretty good though hu?"

"Actually, yeah. Here, try this." She told him as she put peanut butter, pickles, banannas, and honey between two pieces of bread and handed it to him.

"Try anything once." He said as he bit into it amazed at how good it tasted.

"Pretty good pet." He told her.

"Got anymore of that pizza stuff?" She asked. He grinned and handed it to her before fixing himself one of those sandwiches. They sat there for an hour and a half talking and enjoying each others company.

Buffy reached behind her and grabbed a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. She lit one and handed it to him before lighting one for herself. Looking at her funny but not complaining, Spike took the cigarette and proceeded to smoke it.

"Since when do you smoke pet?"

"For about the last two years. I just don't do it socially." She told him as she took a drag. They continued to talk for another ten minutes.

"It's 3:45 in the morning and I'm getting kinda tired." She told him. "Yeah, me too." They both lay down and Buffy turned off the lamp.

"Night Buster." She said.

Spike grinned. "Night Babs."
