Chapter 5

A Dinner for tires

Several weeks passed before Buffy and Spike finally met again, this time Andrew was with him and Anya was with her.

After the Deal they made in the lunch, Buffy and Anya spent less time with Cecily, mostly because she avoided them, preferring to watch them from afar.

When the second quarter finally started it was easier for her to stay away, Cecily did not share any classes with them.

So Buffy and Anya hung out in class and worked on homework together, of course they did call Cecily once in a while to check up on her, but she rarely returned the calls.

When the two girls finally did run in to their targets it was an accident, much like Buffy's first encounter with Spike.

Buffy and Anya had been walking around the mall, doing a little window shopping, when Anya had a sudden taste for McDonalds. On the way there Anya's car got a flat tire, and the car just happened to stop near a gas station. (Luck? Coincidence? Or Fate?) So the girls walked across the street and used a pay phone to call for some car assistance. When the tow truck arrived, who should be driving but Spike.

Buffy and Anya looked at each other, oh no. Now they would have to follow though on the deal that they made with Cecily. And when they got to the repair shop, they found out that Andrew Travis also worked there.

at the auto repair shop

"Buffy both of them are here!"

"I can see that Anya"

"What are we going to do?"

"Well I guess we can...ask them out"

"Or not, Cecily will never know, she hasn't been hanging around us anyways"

Buffy sighed, she knew that Cecily was some how keeping an eye on them, "Anya trust me she will find out, I have known her for a long time, she probably put a camera in your car and has been keeping an eye on us from there and other places"

"Damn"

"Yeah"

"Okay first things first, we have to pay for the tire"

"We?"

"Buffy!"

"Relax An' I was just kidding"

The girls put all of their money together, but it was not enough to pay for the tire, That's when Buffy got

her brilliant idea.

"Spike, I am really sorry but this is all we have, can we somehow make it up to you? I know, how about Anya and I take you two out for dinner,"

Spike looked over the money, "I don't know, we really shouldn't" he turned to Andrew, "'ey, what do you say to dinner with them to pay for the rest of the tire?"

Andrew lit up, "Dinner? You bet!"

Spike glared at his friend then turned back to the girls, "I guess dinner it is then, Pets, where and when?"

"Saturday at 6pm, we'll pick you up, and don't forget to dress nice, we're going to treat you boys' right"

And with that they left.

Spike was not so happy about going out to dinner with Buffy and Anya, they were Slayers after all perhaps Buffy had finally gotten around to dumping Peaches and was looking for her next victim.

"Andrew you Bloody Ponce! They are Slayers and we are the Bloody unfortunate souls who are goin' to dinner with them, all because you had to accept the bleedin' invitation"

"Hey now, I don't pass up a dinner invitation just because you're scared that some Slayer is gonna come and turn you to dust"

"I am not scared of 'er!"

"You are too, you and your poets heart are afraid that you might fall for her and then she'll break your fragile heart"

Spike growled, "I said I'm not afraid of no girl, I just dislike 'er for what she does and I would prefer to stay the bloody hell away from 'er and 'er bloody friends"

"Well I for one am looking forward to dinner with to sexy girls, and not having to pay a single cent"

Spike tried to be happy about the dinner but he was dreading it, Faith warned him about Buffy and her Friends, they could suck you in and the only way to get out would be in pieces. And besides Andrew was right, Spike had the heart of a poet. And it would truly hurt to get dumped so fiercely by those girls.

But perhaps he would survive, it may just be only dinner.
