AN: Forgot to put this on the other one: I don't own anything Buffy related.

My stomach lurched with butterflies. I was about to tell everyone about me and Spike. What were they going to think? How was I going to tell them? But Spike did it for me.

"I want you all to know that me and Buffy are in love!"

Oh gosh, he said it. A sense of relief came over me. I looked out and saw looks of disappointment, shock, confusement, and anger on my friends' faces.

"Buffy, is this true?" Willow was looking at me with a 'not-true-hopefully' look.

Yes, it's very true."

"How long?" Dawn asked.

"About a couple months." I said.

"How?" Xander asked angrily.

Spike and I both started, but I beat him to it.

"What do you mean how? He was there for me. He helped me when my mom passed and after you guys brought me back. He understood where I was coming from. He loved me when I was drowning. He saved me from wanting to die." I stopped and looked at their astonished faces. Xander was the first to speak up.

"You were depressed and having problems and you went to Spike? Why didn't you come to me, I mean us."

"You guys didn't get it. You tore me out of heaven. Whom was I supposed to go to?" I practically yelled.

"Us! You could have come to us Buffy," Xander yelled. "You could have move to us. Spike's a monster. He's evil. Do you really think that thing could love you? He's probably just getting close to you so he can kill you. Remember Angel? When he turned evil, all he could think about was killing you. How could you be so stupid…"

"How could I be so stupid? Well he's not like Angel because we have already slept together!"

A hush fell over the room. Dawn got this 'How could you do this look' on her face and Xander turned two shades of red. Willow was frozen.

"Well if you're happy. So how is the sex?" Anya asked.

"ANYA!" Xander exploded. "What kind of question is that?"

"You don't have to yell at her! Anya the sex is great." I said. Spike beamed.

"The world is practically coming to an end and all you want to talk about is how the sex is?" Xander exploded. He ran both of his hands trough his hair, trying to keep control of his temper.

"Well she asked," I said.

Wow, I thought to myself. I didn't expect Xander to go ballistic.

"Shut up Xander, this has nothing to do with you!"

"This has everything to do with me! You came and stole the woman I love from right under my nose! Now I believe that I have a right to go ballistic!"

"Xander!" Anya was red with anger and looked just about ready to cry.

"An, I didn't mean it…"

"SHUT UP! I don't want to hear it. You'll be sorry Xander, you'll be sorry!" Anya's face contorted and shifted. She became…Anyanka, the vengeance demon. A whirlwind of fire and water circled Anyanka's body. She disappeared vowing that she would be back.

Everyone sat frozen. Xander's face was paler then mine. I decided to say something to break the silence.

"Bloody hell, I'm out of here." And with that I walked out the door.

"Wait for me!" I ran out of the Magic Box.

"You should go back and try to work things out with Dawn and Xander," Spike's voice was cold and distance.

"Yes, I'll work things out with Dawn, but Xander…Xander had no right. He was acting insane. He doesn't mean anything to me. All that stuff he said he really didn't mean…" I stopped.

"Listen Luv, I do love you. But I saw what happened in there. They're not going to except us. I don't want you to lose everything for me."

"But I want to lose everything for you." I grabbed Spike and kissed him.

Spike pulled away before the kiss could get heated up.

"You go and fix things between you, Xander, Dawn and Willow, then come to the crypt, so we can, uh, get rid of that ghost," Spike said before he turned and sauntered off in the direction of his crypt.

Alone, in the dark, I looked into the window of the Magic Box. Inside, Xander was sitting on the counter with his head in his hands crying. Dawn was walking around, talking and throwing her hands around with every word. Willow was just sitting there just listening to Dawn's ranting. I took a deep breath and opened the door.

Everyone stopped what he or she were doing and looked up as I walked through the door. Before I could open my mouth to say anything, Xander spoke up.

"I hope you're happy, Buffy," he said getting down off of the counter. "You just ruined my life! Why can't you just have a normal boyfriend for once?"

"Oh no you don't. You screwed up your own life Xander. You messed up things with Anya! You're the one who told her you loved her and wanted to marry her! You broke her heart! Not me, I don't love you Xander, and right now I can't even stand being in the same room as you! But, I'm trying to be the bigger person here and apologize for whatever it is that made you guys so upset, but quite frankly you have nothing to be upset about. Spike and me aren't hurting you guys. It's been going on for months and everything went on like normal."

With that I stormed out of the Magic Box and started to head towards Spike's crypt, but then I remembered that I wasn't allowed to see him until I made up with everyone. I stopped in my tracks and though about what I wanted to say when Dawn and Willow came out of the Magic Box.

"Buffy?" Dawn spoke quietly, "You're right, and I'm sorry."

I looked at Dawn and Willow, and realized that I was the one who should be apologizing, not them. I opened my mouth to apologize when Xander walked outside. He kept walking right passed up.

"Oh no," Willow spoke. "He's going after Spike!" We have to stop him!" We took off running after Xander who fro some reason seemed impossible to catch up to. I ran as fast as I could run, and I didn't stop until I got to Spike's crypt.

"Spike! Where are you!" I called out frantically.

"Right here luv." Confused, Spike stared at the three of us. "Not that I don't like parties, but what are you doing here?"

"Xander, I mean we thought Xander was coming after you." I spoke quickly and looked around in case Xander was hiding in a corner.

"He's not here," Spike spoke slowly.

"Well, if he's not here, where is he?"
