A/N: We know that the people are a little out of character but it is our fanfiction and we can do what we like. We know that Buffy should be grieving over Dawn but we don't like her so we just killed her off and forgot about her. Besides you really didn't see Buffy grieving over her mother.

I've Never…

PG-13

Summary: Set during and after the end of The Gift. Dawn dies instead of Buffy. Buffy doesn't want to be alone in her house so she turns to Spike for company. With a pink dress and a lot of alcohol involved the two become closer. AtS crossover.

Disclaimer: We own nothing, it all belongs to Joss.

As they made their way to the floor the band began a fast beat song.

"Bands pretty good don't ya think?"

"I guess they're all right. I've heard better though."

"Well of course you've heard better you've been around for like one hundred and twenty years. And since when do you know how to dance?"

"Like you said, 'I've been around for like one hundred and twenty years."

"Since when does she dance with evil dead things?" Xander asked with distaste in his voice.

"Xander, it's just Buffy's way of dealing with you know what."

"I know she's going through some hard times right now, but getting drunk? That doesn't sound anything like the Buffy we know. And why does her way of dealing have to include Captain Peroxide of all things?"

"Why not? Spike, after all is quite ruggedly handsome." Anya commented.

"An? Excuse me, boyfriend sitting right here." Xander stated while pointing to himself.

"And besides he looks like a pretty good dancer to me." Anya said not really to anyone. Xander jus glared at the peroxide haired vampire on the dance floor.

"You call that dancing? I'll show you dancing." With that he grabbed Anya's wrist and pulled her to the music.

"I so hope he doesn't embarrass himself…more than usual that is." Will said to Tara while taking a sip of her alcoholic drink.

"Poor Xander, he always let's his jealousy get the better of him." Tara commented, looking at Xander and Anya doing the monkey.

"Luv, I think the whelp over there is trying to impress you," Spike whispered to Buffy. When she looked over at Xander she had to really try hard to keep herself from laughing at him.

"Xander, will you stop! You're beginning to embarrass me, and will you slow down some? You're going to hurt yourself."

"Seriously, An, I'm not going to hurt myself," Xander said speaking a little too soon, "Ow, ow, ow, ow! I think I pulled a jive muscle."

"See I told you to slow down but does anyone listen to me? I think not."

"And the funky monkey claims another victim," Willow said with amusement from the spot she and Tara were dancing in.
