Spike had felt guilty about the 'Sunshine' crack since he'd said it and now that he was done with his grading he could apologize to Buffy. "Hey Luv, Dawn's a pretty name. I'm sorry I snapped. It just felt like you an Angel were having an inside joke and then with your mom sick. I know you're worried about her. If you want to go down and visit we could deal with Glory without you."
"No, well at least not yet. If Giles, calls with worse news tomorrow than yes, but I don't want to leave my home until there's a real crisis. I just feel kind of helpless just staying here."
"Imagine how Rupert feels. He's there and he can't do anything. There are just times when we can't do anything."
"How'd you get so smart?"
"Well I am a little older than you."
"A little." Buffy smirked.
"Alright that's it, you're getting tickled."
"No, no" Buffy screamed as the tickle fight began and worries about tomorrow disappeared.
"What information do you have?" Glory asked the human informant returning.
"The girl is going to leave soon. When she is safe I will tell you where the vampire is. Until then prepare, because the attack will have to be quick and fast."
"Oh, I'll be ready. Just give me the address soon."
"In a few days, I promise."
