"What do you mean you can't find him?" Glory screamed throwing shoes at her minions. "I ask you to find one vampire who has my key and you can't even manage to do that. You're the most worthless group of minions I have ever met."
"A thousand pardons mighty Glorificus, but the vampire is very cunning and shrewd." Jinx exclaimed.
"I don't care what he is I want him now." Glory screamed.
"Maybe I can help with that," a voice came from the darkness. "But you must do something for me as well"
"I don't make deals with humans." Glory sneered, "I torture them until they tell me what I want to know."
"Yes, but I'm willing to tell you where the vampire is, if you promise to kill him, but leave the girl he's living with alone."
"Who are you?" Glory asked the stranger.
"I'm a friend."

"Bye," Buffy kissed Spike as she left. "I have some grocery shopping to do after class so I'll be home around six."
"And I'm leaving for class at seven." Spike sighed.
"I promise I'll finish my homework and I'll wait up for you." Buffy smiled. "Oh and take Angel to class with you he might like to see you teaching History since I can't. Just my luck, I can't take the cool history professor because I'm sleeping with him and he's suddenly grown a moral compass."
"Luv, if the administration found out you were in my class I could have my teaching credentials taken away and then the Watcher's Council would be supporting us. Now I don't hate them as much as I used to, but I still enjoy teaching."
"I know it's just that Dr. Wolf is so monotone." Buffy smiled as she left.
"You two really are getting along," Angel looked up from the book he'd been reading on the couch. "To be honest I was pretty sure the two of you would end up killing each other."
"No we're great. Could do with a few less demons in our lives, including one living on the couch, but we've gone through a lot and we're still standing. So do you want to see me teach? You can always correct me if I get some of the older facts wrong." Spike teased.
"Well you never could remember a date, so why not? It could be fun to laugh at you in public … more."
