this, go ahead. Just email me and tell me where it's at. Thanks.
Feedback: Would love that, pet.
Notes: Spike/Buffy. Written
for the livejournal "First Lines" meme. First line here is
by Speaker-to-Customers.

"...the vampire, William the Bloody, from the ashes."
Buffy sighed with relief, and finally, collapsed from exhaustion.
