Thank you to Slayer Forever, Buffy Maniac, Torrchy and Spike-n-Buffy-eva for your reviews, hope you enjoy this chapter. Please R&R. Just to say that for the character of Chris think Drew Fuller (Chris on Charmed, but this is not a crossover)

"Look Wes, man, can't you and Fred just be you and Fred. Illyria and I are not a couple we're just friends."

"Come on Gunn…"

"What are you afraid of English?"

"Nothing."

"Well then if that's the case, you two live together you should be able to go on a date, just the two of you."

"Ok then."

"Good, I think I'll go to work."

"Wait, what did Illyria say about all this?"

"Dude, she's an immortal being, how broken up could she be, besides she feels the same way I do. We'd rather be out there killing stuff, you know helping the helpless."

"I do not understand your human ways Irish man. Why do you poison yourself?"

"What poison? Where? What?"

"Honey I think she means the whisky," Cordelia informed him.

"Oh, that's not a poison, blu…I mean Illyria."

"But it kills brain cells, slows you down, gives you an accuracy deficiency, is that not the properties of poison? And if you take too much should you not die?

"Ok that's enough scary talk for one morning," Doyle said as he walked away from Illyria who headed down to the basement, "Cordy what are you doing in there?" Doyle asked his wife.

"I'm cleaning Angel's office, well tidying it anyway, he is really letting this place go."

"How is our boss doing?"

"Well let's see, we've got the first blonde, he well, ok, I guess he must sort of love her, but back to the point, the mother of his kid with another one on the way, and now the other blonde, the love of his life, is in town, but a certain other blond, oh say an ex-vampire, who also has a crazy obsession with none other than Miss Buffy Summers, is missing…"

"Why you don't think that Buffy and Spike…"

"Hell yeah."

"She's right you know," Darla said as she joined the couple, "But don't worry, I'll pick up the pieces."

Although he had been asleep for four hours, Andrew felt as though he had only just fell asleep moments ago, when there was a knock at the door. He knew he would have to get it, since Faith could probably sleep through an apocalypse. He dragged himself out of bed, his eyes bloodshot, usually Faith went to the guy's place, but she had brought him back to their apartment this time, and the noise that had come from Faith's room had kept Andrew up all night. Slowly he opened the door.

"Oh hey Dawn, come in."

"Andrew are you ok, you look terrible."

"The walls are thin."

"What's that got to do wi...oh right I get it. Andrew you should get your own place."

"But I like it here, and she doesn't usually bring her conquests home. I'll be fine once I've had some coffee."

As Andrew set about getting some caffeine, Faith walked into the living room.

"Hey lil' B, what brings you to this neck of the woods?"

"Nothing, I just thought I'd drop by, see how you guys were, you kinda took off a little early yesterday."

"Had something to do, but hey we're five by five here."

"Right. So is he still here, or did you kick him out."

"Yeah I tossed him, so what."

"No, I didn't mean anything by it."

"So are you still doing that guy? What's his name? Chris?" Faith asked, causing Dawn to blush, "I'll take that as a yes."

"Only when he's in town."

"Naughty girl. What ever would you do if B were to find out?"

"One you're not telling and two I'm twenty-two years old, I'll do what I want to do."

"Screw who you wanna screw."

"Faith!"

"Don't sweat it, I'm not gonna run and tell big sis."

"Good, and just to make sure, you do knock first now right, cos barging in..."

"Yeah right, like Andy has anyone that I could walk in on him with, well I'm gonna split, see you guys later."

Andrew and Dawn watched Faith go, waiting a couple of minutes to make sure she was gone.

"Sorry Andrew, I know you don't like to hear us talk about him."

"But you like Chris."

"Yeah I do. But he's not here."

"So you don't have to babysit today?"

"Nope, it's a school day so I'm all yours, so how do you want me?"

"Are you sure we should be doing this?"

"Andrew if you don't want to just say it."

"I do want to, its just Buffy will kill me"

"Shhh, let's not bring her into this, come on you want me, you have what I want, it's not complicated. Now shut up and undress me."

"Ok."

Buffy woke up to find Spike sitting on the end of her bed, staring at her with complete affection in his eyes. When she sat up he crawled towards her, taking up a straddling position he then leaned in for a kiss.

"So one question remains," Buffy said, as Spike trailed kisses down her neck.

"And what's that?" Spike asked, looking up into those emerald eyes.

"Are you gonna move in with us?"

"Of course I am love, I couldn't bear to live any distance away from you anymore."

"Good. Then it's settled. The three of us should do something to celebrate later."

"But it's just us for now."

"Yeah, maybe we should do something to pass the time, any suggestions?"

"Well I do have one."

"Show me."

"I could do that."

"It 'urts, it 'urts, my tummy's all in knots, the end is coming, and it will kill us all, from beneath you it devours," Drusilla rambled as she clutched her stomach.

"Dru you need to lie down," Lindsey told her directing her to her bedroom.

"Stupid grand mummy, filling your head with lies, pretty little lies, it will eat us all up,"

"What will Dru?"

"The First."
