Enjoy

Stepping into Spike's, and mine now I guess, I set my bags down on the couch. Looking out of the single window in the place, I saw that the sun was just starting to rise. I had just stsyed up for a full and complete 24 hours. I was tired. I looked over at Spike, and saw the tiredness on his face too. He wanted to go sleep. If Vamps do that I mean. Can they?? Just one more thing I was gonna find out.

I went back over to the couch and replaced my bags on the floor. Then rolling into I grabbed the blanket from on top of the couch and pulled it over me. " 'night"I mumbled. Then, I was out for the rest of the day.

When I woke up, I didn't realize what had woke me up at first. Then I realized that the TV was quietly playing in the background. quietly, I got up and saw Spike in his recliner in front of it, holding a large glass of blood. Yup. Nothing out of the ordinary here. Quietly, I went up behind him to see what he was watching though. I'm pretty sure he heard me though, because right before I got there, he turned off the TV. "Didn't mean to wake you." he said softly.

"No. It's ok. I'm generally awake by now anyways." I replied.

"What?? At 11 o'clock at night?"

"What??" I exclaimed.

He nodded, smiling slightly. "Yeah. You've been out for the better part of 20 hours. Only time you even moved was when I put that blanket back on you around sunset. That was 3 hours ago."

"Wow. I've never slept like that before."

"Yeah, well keeping the hours of and undead will do that to ya." He paused a moment, looking at me.

"What?" I asked.

"You feel up to a patrol?"

"A what?" I said, confused.

"A patrol. You know, a roundabout in which we both get weapons and go look for big uglies to kill?"

"Oh! Umm.. I guess so."

Spike stood up and went over to the far wall. There, he pulled down two swords and tossed one to me from across the room. Can I just say, AHHH. Sword flying at me. What do I do? The only thing that comes to mind. I catch it, expertly,I might add.

I look at the sword in my hands in suprise, but Spike only smiles softly. Going over to the door, he opens it up and motions for me to go on out. " C'mon. Sooner we get this over with, the sooner I can get back to my show."

Corious now, I looked at him as I passed by him. "What show?"

"None of your concern." he replied simply, then closed the door behind him.
