A/N - The chapters are going to be short in this story for a while but I do think they will get long eventually.
-Back In Buffy's Room-
Everyone was stunned but Giles recovered first, "Amnesia."
Willow looked at him, "Why would she have amnesia?"
"It's a common side effect from mixing so many essences together that the person becomes confused."
Spike cleared his throat, "He's trying to say that a bunch of people in her head messed her up so she forgot everything."
Buffy started rocking back and forth so they all went quiet, "What am I doing here? Why are you all surrounding me? Why don't I even know my name?"
Riley stood up, "So then there's a spell right? If it's mystical amnesia we can reverse it."
Giles shook his head, "It's not mystical."
Xander stared back and forth between buffy and Giles, "So, what do we do now? How do we make her better?"
Giles looked down and wiped his glasses, "I'm not sure actually. I think the best coarse of action is to keep her around most things farmiliar to her. I think this many people around her might be confusing to her. Maybe Xander and Willow should stay and talk to her. Calm her down a little bit."
Riley stood up, "I should be here."
"I know you love her Riley but you don't seem the right person to do this. Willow and Xander have known her longer."
With resistence he finally walked to the door. Giles walked out the door right after whispering to Willow and Xander not to tell her about the demons and vampire part of life. He was followed by Riley and almost Spike. The minute he stepped out of the door Buffy screamed, "Why is he going away? i want him to stay!"
Riley ran back into the room by her bed, "I knew it. I told you i should st...."
Buffy moved away from him the minute he got there again. "Why does he keep coming near me?"
Riley walked back to the door and walked out. Spike moved to walk again but buffy screamed again, "Nooo, he's suppossed to stay."
Willow looked back and forth between the door and buffy and realized, "Spike, I think you should stay."
Spike looked back, "As if. The slayer can handle herself and I'm feeling a bit hungry."
Xander walked to him, "If she wants you to stay Spike, you will stay."
"Listen I think I have helped enough tonight."
Riley hit him in the back of the head from outside, "I hate you as much as the next person but if she doesn't want you to leave then you're not going to!"
With that Riley slammed the door shut barricading Willow, Xander and Spike inside. Spike looked at the frantic buffy, "Why me? What do you want from me? I mean you don't remember anything and you still just take and take from me."
"Spike, just shut up. She needs our help right now."
Spike sighed and shook his head. "I'm just in the room, you two help her."
Willow and Xander both scoffed and slowly walked to the bed. Buffy looked back and forth between them. Willow stared at her and started, "Do you remember anything?"
Buffy shook her head no like crazy and then started, "Your name is Buffy."
Buffy looked at him and just stared. "Who are you?"
Xander smiled, "I would be Xander and that would be Willow. We're your best friends."
Buffy looked at SPike who had taken to sitting on the dresser, "Who is he?"
Willow looked at her and then at Spike, "That's Spike. You don't remember him?" When she shook her head no Willow continued, "Then why did you want him to stay?"
Spike stared at the slayer this time as she answered, "He feels farmiliar to me."
Spike spoke, "Why? It's not like we liked each other at all."
Buffy looked at him, "I don't know. I don't know anything."
Willow saw the sadness and frowned, "We'll do everything we can to get your memory back but this is all about you."
"Well what am I suppossed to do? I don't know...I just don't know."
Spike spoke up, "Stop saying that. We get it you don't know. You were never this helpless. It's almost sickening."
Buffy stared at him, "What was I like?"
Xander who was about to get mad at Spike before Buffy answered just smiled and looked at buffy, "You got to be more specific with your questions."
The buffy went all out, "How old am I? What school do I go to? Do I have a boyfriend? Am I married? Where is here?"
Willow and Xander were taken back and were more surprised when Spike answered for her, "19, Sunnydale university, Yes, No and your good old Sunnydale."
"Do I have family?"
Willow answered, "Well your dads in L.A. so he's not really around but you have your mom...and us."
"Who was that man holding my hand? I didn't like him."
Spike smirked while Willow and Xander looked worried. Xander answered though, "That would be your boyfriend. He's better when you get to know him."
"I'll take your word for it." She paused before she continued. "How does Spike fit into my life?"
Spike looked at her but didn't know what to say because he knew everyone would stake him if he told her about vampires. Willow and Xander were confused as what to say also. After a little time had passes Spike finally answered, "You hated me, I hated you but I hang around your friends a lot."
"But why?"
"Because..."
Xander cut Spike off, "He's a loner. Has no friends."
Spike sighed and buffy just looked at them both, "You two don't like each other much, do you?"
Xander smiled, "Hate him with a firey passion."
"No better on this side." Spike added
"I have a wierd family." Buffy said before she yawned
Xander smiled along with Willow, "We always prided ourselves with that fact."
Willow spoke next, "You look tired Buffy. Do you want to sleep?"
Buffy nodded as Willow and Xander made for the door. They said their good nights but again as Spike was leaving Buffy stopped him, "Does he have to go?"
Willow and Xander look at each other and smile, "Nope."
Anger spreads accross Spike's face, "You can't just lock me up here forever."
Willow walked out and before Xander closed the door he spoke, "Yes we can."
He closed the door and it was just Spike and Buffy left in the room.
-Downstairs-
Everyone was in the kitchen when Willow and Xander joined them. Riley jumped up first.
"How's she doing?"
Xander answered, "She's doing better. She knows her name and age now."
Riley nods, "Can I see her?"
Willow answered this time, "She actually wants to sleep now."
Giles popped into the conversation, "So where is Spike?"
Willow and Xander looked at each other but Willow addressed the room, "Buffy kind of wanted him to stay with her so we locked him in there again. I kind of have a feeling he'll be the one to break this amnesia thing."
Riley piped in not hiding the jealousy, "But why him? She doesn't remember any of us yet she seems close to Spike out of all people."
Willow again answered, "Well they do fight a lot and they understand each other better then we can imagine."
Riley just scoffed and sat back down as Giles speaks up, "Then there's nothing we can do for her tonight. I'll stay here just in case but you three should go home, get some sleep. It will be a rough next few days."
Willow nodded, "I'll be at Tara's if you need me."
Xander smiled, "And I'll be at home. Like i always am."
They walked out together in silence leaving only Riley and Giles. Riley spoke first, "Do you mind if I hang here too? I'll take the couch."
Giles nodded, "Of course. I'll be upstairs in the spare room if you need anything."
They nodded to each other and went their seperate ways in the house hoping for a good nights sleep so they could be prepared for what's to come. They still probably had a sleepless night but they could hope.
