It was twelve O'clock the next day when Buffy awoke. She tried to sit up and when she did she regretted doing so. Buffy bolted to the toilet.


Spike awoke to the sound of Buffy throwing up. He made his way up the stairs into the bathroom to find Buffy with her head in the toilet. Spike slowly made his way towards Buffy. When he got to her he pulled her hair up away from her neck and put his free arm around her waist. When she finally stopped Spike pulled her up to her feet and she laid her head on his shoulder,

"This hangover is really horrible."

"That's what you get for drinking so much."

"I know but it still sucks."

"Why don't you go lie down and I'll bring you up some soup." Spike led Buffy back to her bed and helped her get comfortable then headed downstairs to make her soup.


As Spike began to make his way back upstairs he heard a knock on the door. Once Spike opened the door he saw a very cheery Willow,

"Hey Red what are you doing here?"

"I was going to ask you the same thing."

"Oh, I'm uh… kinda living here with, well, Buffy. I'm trying to take care of her, but anyway what are you doing here?"

"I came to see if she was wanting to come to the Bronze with us tonight and you can come too if you want."

"I'll go, but it just depends on how Buffy feels."

"Where is she?"

"Upstairs."

"Well if you come we'll see ya there just don't forget to ask Buffy."

"I won't."


As Spike walked back into Buffy's room he handed her the soup.

"Who was at the door?" Buffy asked eyeing him.

"That was Willow she wanted to know if you were up for the Bronze tonight with the gang."

"I guess, it will be nice to hang with everybody tonight."


When Buffy was finished getting ready her and Spike headed off to the Bronze.

When they arrived they spotted the gang over at a table.

"Hey guys." Buffy greeted them.

"Oh, great Captain Peroxide is here."

"Xander," Buffy said to him with an evil look.

"Fine I'll behave, but Buffy really…"

"Oh. My. God." Some brunette said looking at Spike.

"Aren't you the guy who was running around naked here yesterday?" Buffy and Spike looked at each other then down at the ground.

"Yeah…that…um…was me."

"You did what?" Xander shouted aloud.

"It was a dare, and Buffy dared me to do it and we got drunk and yeah."

"Buffy you saw Spike naked?" Tara asked questioningly. Buffy turned bright red and looked at the ground.

"Okay let's take about something else. How about Buffy and Spike living together?" Spike not wanting to be apart of this conversation stood up and walked in front of Buffy,

"Care to dance luv?"

"Sure." Buffy said taking Spikes hand as he led them to the dance floor.
