Buffy and Faith were getting ready for the homecoming dance. Faith
was on homecoming court and it was being circulated that Buffy might win
homecoming queen, but it was uncertain.
"Okay, so how do I look?" Faith asked as she came into her and Buffy's room. She had on her dress with a pair of red high heeled sandals. Her hair was down and curled.
"You look beautiful" Buffy smiled. She looked in the mirror. She was wearing a royal blue satin dress that was full length. The straps of the dress were about one and a half inches wide and the dress had a square cut collar. On her feet were high heeled shoes to match and her hair was put up really high and curled. "What about me?"
"Awesome, Spike's a lucky guy" Faith smirked.
"Stop that, Spike and I are just going as friends, that's all" Buffy Said.
"Whatever you say sis" Faith said. They got their shawls and bags and went downstairs. Faith, Gregg, Spike, Buffy, Xander, Cordelia, Willow, Oz, Tommy and Tara were all getting a limo together.
"Oh, girls you look absolutely wonderful, here let me get a picture" Joyce said.
"Okay, but just one" Buffy said.
"Oh come on, I'm your mother, this is a right of mine" Joyce said and snapped a couple shots.
"Hey can I take a picture with you guys?" Dawn asked.
"Sure Dawnie" Faith said. Dawn went over and stood between Buffy and Faith and Joyce took a couple more pictures. Then she had Dawn take some of her with Buffy and Faith, and then with them separately. Suddenly the door bell rang.
"Oh, that must be the guys" Buffy said and opened the door and there stood Spike in a tux. "Wow."
"What? Didn't expect to see me in a tux pet?" he smirked. "It doesn't look good I know."
"Don't be silly, you look great" Buffy smiled.
"So you do luv" he said.
"All right, you ready B, let's go" Faith said and they got in the limo and left.
Once at the dance they all got a table. And sat together.
"This is awesome, look at all the people here" Willow said.
"Yeah, it's pretty cool" Buffy said.
"Buff, I know that you're going to win prom queen" Xander said.
"I don't know" Buffy said skeptical.
"Sure you will, you're beautiful" Spike said. Buffy smiled at him.
"Thank you" she said.
"Do you want to dance?" he asked as he stuck out his hand to her. She took it in hers.
"Okay" she said and he led her out onto the dance floor. The rest of the gang followed them. Buffy and Spike began to dance slowly as a song came on. "Hey, you guys are performing here tonight aren't you?"
"Yeah, the Bronze gig flaked out so we got this one instead" he said.
"Well is the girl here, you know the one that you wrote the song for?" Buffy asked.
"Uh. . .yeah" he said.
"Well why didn't you ask her to the dance?" Buffy asked.
"Uh. . ." he trailed off and the principal came on the microphone.
"Okay guys, for a special treat we have our own band, Dingoes ate My Baby, performing here, let's give them a hand huh" he said and everyone, including Buffy clapped. Spike went up with the rest of the guys, except Riley since he wasn't there, and Spike was happy about that. At least he could sing this song and Riley wouldn't intervene.
"Hey guys, welcome to, 1999 homecoming!" Devon said in a loud and exited voice and everyone cheered and clapped. "All right, first the newest member of our band, Spike Giles is going to sing, so let's show him some love." Everyone clapped for him and he stepped up the front microphone.
"Hey, let's do this" he said and the music began to play. "I see you everyday, the shadows of the world just seem to fade away when you look at me. . .there's a secret, I've been meaning to tell you, but there's always someone interfering, and now, here's my chance, to tell you how I really feel, I've never felt this way, you can make life feel real. . .I want to tell you, that you're sexy, that I want you, but how do I find the words. . .well here's my chance, to tell you now, I don't know what I'm gonna do, I don't know how, but I have to let you know, can't hold this in no more, please tell me that you feel the same, I want to know. . ." Spike finished the song after two more verses and choruses and everyone clapped and cheered. Buffy smiled at the song.
"All right, we're going to take a short break so, see ya later" Devon said and Spike came off the stage and went over to Buffy.
"That was great" she said.
"I'm glad you liked it" he smiled.
"Tell me, who is the girl?" Buffy asked.
"No, I can't" Spike said.
"Spike-" Buffy began.
"Uh, let's dance" he said, taking her hand and leading her onto the dance floor again. They dance for another fifteen minutes and then the principal came back on stage.
"Okay guys, the moment's here, the announcement of the homecoming king and queen" he said. "For homecoming court, seniors are, Sheila Connor and Hilary Detonberg, for juniors, Faith Summers and Cordelia Chase, for sophomores, Hannah Banks and Tiffany Rice, and for Freshmen, Alexia Blanco and Skyla Rose, now for homecoming king it is. . .Spike Giles" the principal said and Spike smiled and went up on stage. A girl put a crown on his head. "And for your queen it will be. . .Buffy Summers" he said. Buffy's heart jumped as she went on stage and the girl put a crown on her head and gave her red roses. "And of course as tradition we will have the dance." A slow song came on and Spike took Buffy's hand and led her onto the dance floor. They began to dance slowly. Buffy put her head on his shoulder. She closed her eyes, not really noticing that she was doing so. She breathed in with relaxation and smiled. It was like they were the only ones in the room. As the song ended she looked up at him. She smirked at her.
"Having fun?" he asked.
"Yes, it's wonderful" she said quietly and smiled.
"Wish you were here with the old boyfriend though don't you?" he asked.
"I'm happy being here with you" she said sweetly. As he was about to lean down and kiss her the gang came up to them.
"Hey, congratulations to both of you" Willow said.
"Yeah, thanks" Spike said.
The dance ended at ten and they all got in the limo. First Willow was dropped off, then Xander, then Cordelia, then Oz, then Tommy, the Tara, then Gregg and then it came to Buffy and Faith's house.
"Uh, you go ahead Faith, I want to show Buffy something at my place, I'll bring her home later" Spike said.
"Oh, uh B?" Faith said, confirming.
"Uh, yeah, it's okay" Buffy said. Faith got out of the limo and the driver took Spike and Buffy to his house. Giles was already in bed. Spike and Buffy went down into his room. "So, what did you want to show me?"
"Uh, well. . .this" he said and got out a box. "Stupid git I am I forgot to give it to you, doesn't mean much now but, I wanted you to have it." Buffy opened the box and there was a corsage.
"Oh, it's beautiful, thank you" Buffy smiled.
"You're welcome" he smiled back. She put the corsage down on the table and he went over to his stereo and put on some music really low. "Dance with me?"
"Now, why?" she asked.
"Don't know, those lessons, I like showing off" he said. She shook her head at him and stuck out her hand and he took it.
"You're very peculiar" she said.
"Yeah well, I know" he said. They dance for a while and then she looked up at him.
"Thank you for tonight, I really didn't want to go alone" she said.
"No problem luv, was happy to do it" he said.
"Still, I wish that you could of gone with the person you wanted" Buffy said.
"Little secret pet" he said, and then lowered his voice to a whisper and whispered in her ear. "I did."
"What?" she asked, puzzled.
"You're the one I really wanted to go with, that song. . .it was for you" he said. She looked at him for a second with a really serious look on her face and then leaned up and kissed him. The kiss started off slow, but grew intense. She moaned into his mouth and then broke away. He looked at her disappointed, but she surprised him. She kissed him again as she pulled him towards his bed. As they fell together on the soft bedding she started to unbutton his shirt.
"Okay, so how do I look?" Faith asked as she came into her and Buffy's room. She had on her dress with a pair of red high heeled sandals. Her hair was down and curled.
