A Christmas Present to Remember
Chapter 3 - Dare you to move
Spike drove exactly one mile behind her hoping that her senses wouldn't pick him up. Apparently they hadn't so far and Spike hoped that it stayed that way .
As he sat in the car he still couldn't figure out why he had agreed to help her for free, it just wasn't him and a million people could tell you so. When he heard that the slayer need help he just couldn't help wanting to help. He now seemed to care for her for some reason that he couldn't think of. The reason was the one thing he just couldn't place. The thought that he cared for her even passed through his head put he brushed it away with a good laugh. 'Vampire in love with a slayer.' he thought.
"Ridicules." He said aloud. "Well it has happened before" He said seriously but then he started to laugh. "I'm not some Nancy boy like soulful in L.A.
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
'Welcome to the planet
Welcome to existence'
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Buffy drove with the music playing one her favorite songs. "Dare you to move" She sang along as she did her best at driving. She was never to good at it. She was so happy that Giles had let her go alone on this trip.
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Everyone's here
Everyone's here
Everybody's watching you now
Everybody waits for you now
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Spike reached down to the passenger seat to grab a C.D not paying attention to the road.
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Buffy sensed someone very familiar. Vampire of course but a well known vampire. Could it be... no it couldn't Angel? No wait it didn't feel like someone she had been intimate with. She had slowed the car down a little when she had turned on the radio so she wouldn't crash into anyone.
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Buffy slowed a little bit, not enough to disrupt traffic but enough for whoever she was sensing to get closer.
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to resistance
The tension is here
The tension is here
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
When Spike looked up he realized he was only a few cars away from Buffy.
"Shit." He swore. She must have been able to sense him. Why wasn't she? She must have been distracted.
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Buffy looked out her rear view mirror to see Spike. He was following her? Must have been the work of Giles. She thought. Well she was going to teach him a lesson
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Spike saw Buffy pull into a rest stop, he followed. At least he thought it was a rest stop.
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Maybe redemption has stories to tell
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
When he pulled in he realized it was a dead in. Not just a dead in but the slayer was out of her car standing in front of it with her arms crossed. Spike knew he was in trouble then.
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
He knew he had no other choice then to get out and confront her.
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
I dare you to move
I dare you to move I
dare you to lift yourself
Lift yourself up off the floor
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
"What the hell are you doing following me?" He approached the pissed off slayer.
"Giles asked me to."
"How much did he pay you, i'll pay you double to go away."
"He didn't pay me anything." The couple just stood there talking.
"Then why did you do it?"
"Bored." Spike lied.
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
"Well..." Buffy thought for a bit. "Honestly I do need help with this."
"What are you saying?"
"I was being stubborn and i do need help. You can tag along... if you want."
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Today never happened before
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
"Ok. I'll come."
