"Red," Spike smiled as he opened the door.
"Hey, Spike." Willow hugged him. Then she whispered, "Is she here?"
"No, she's in class."
"Oh Good, because I wouldn't want to spoil the surprise."
"You won't. She'll be thrilled to see you. At least she'll be happy one of us is around."
"What are you talking about?"
"Nothing, she's just been hanging around one of these soldier boys and..."
"Come on Spike. This is Buffy. She wouldn't cheat on you. You're her entire world and frankly most of us are pretty jealous of the two of you."
"So how is Wolf Boy taking you coming to us for a visit?"
"He's with his band. Doubt he's even noticed I left."
"Oh,"
"No, I think we just both realized that I have school and computers and witchcraft and he has his band and a cage where he gets locked up three nights a month, all things making a relationship hard."
"But not impossible. I mean you guys seemed great in Sunnydale."
"It's over, but that just gave me more time to devote to Buffy's Birthday Bash."
"Well if you're really okay."
"Absolutely now let's party plan before she gets back."
