A/N: I know we have already said this but some people must have missed it, yes we killed Dawn because we didn't like her and that is really the only reason. And we know the characters are a little out of character but it's our story and we can do what we like with it. We also know that our chapters are a little short so we can try and work on that. If you see like any major mistakes with our story please tell us and we will be happy to fix them.

I've Never…

As Spike slipped his hands under Buffy's shirt there was a rustle in the bush behind them.

"We should see what that is," Buffy got out in between kisses.

"Yeah we probably should," was all Spike replied as he continued kissing her. The rustling continued to get louder.

"Mmm…Spike we should really check that out."

"Don't wanna," Spike protested.

"You're such a big baby."

"Yeah I know, but you love me anyways."

"That I do," Buffy stated giving him a small kiss on the tip of his nose. All of a sudden a Suvolte Demon jumped out of the trees and charged at the kissing couple. Just as they realized there was a demon coming after them, it was already to late. The Suvolte grabbed Spike by the shoulders and easily threw him aside and into a headstone.

"Spike!" Buffy yelled, running towards him. With that mistake the Suvolte picked up the slayer's earlier discarded sword. With Buffy just a few feet away Spike yelled, "Buffy! Watch out!" As Buffy turned to see behind her, she suddenly felt the penetration of her own sword go into her stomach and out her back.

"Now you're gunna get it mate," Spike said to the demon standing over his girlfriend's fainted body. As the vampire marched towards the demon someone else jumped in giving the Suvolte a giant kick to the stomach.

"Oi! I am suppose to be the knight-in-bloody-armor," Spike yelled turning to the intruder. There he saw the last person he expected. Riley.

"What the hell do you think you are still doing here Spike?" Riley asked furiously.

"Well, I am trying to avenge my girlfriend but you just so rudely interrupted," Spike told him while giving the Suvolte a couple of punches.

"Excuse me? Your girlfriend? You wish," Riley said while pushing Spike out of the way so he could fight the demon.

"Well, she ain't yours," Spike replied shoving Riley. Then he was being shoved back.

"You know, I should have killed you when I had the chance."

"Well here's your chance," Spike said while opening his duster for a clear view of his heart. All of a sudden the Suvolte started spazzing out with electricity shooting through its body. Then fell to the ground with a large thump. Standing there behind the demon's body there was a pretty brunette. Spike just glanced at the new comer and went straight to Buffy's side.

"Luv, you need to try and stay awake," he shook her lightly before picking her up in his arms.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Riley piped up.

"Taking her home." With that Spike was gone and on his way to Rivello Drive.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Was what was heard in the Summer's house hold. As Willow opened the door, a crazed Riley marched in along with a calm brunette.

"Spike has Buffy. He took her before I could do anything. We need to load up and find them." He just went on and on. Then Anya butted in,

"It won't be that hard to find them considering they went upstairs about five minutes ago so Spike could get Buffy all patched up. She had a sword shoved through like a kabob. See there's the sword," Anya pointed to the bottom of the stairs where Buffy's sword sat all covered in her own blood.

"Did I miss something?" Riley asked mouth gaped open.

"No you didn't miss something, you missed a lot of things," Xander said in reply.

"How much could I really miss in a year?"

"Why don't you try Joyce dying, Dawn dying, and Spike being good," Willow said staring evilly at Riley.

"Is that better, pet?" Spike asked with concern.

"Better," Buffy answered giving Spike a small smile.

"I'll let you get some rest," Spike said heading out her room.

"Nu-uh," Spike turned to Buffy with a raised eyebrow, "you're not allowed to leave."

"And why's that ducks?"

"I need to get better, and you see I read in this book that if you have a peroxide haired vampire named Spike next to you, you'll heal faster," Buffy spoke while nodding her head.

"Oh really?" Spike asked with a smirk on his face, " and what book would that be luv?" He questioned walking back to Buffy's bed.

"Actually, it's a very common book, called The Book of Buffy Summers."

"Well in that case I won't be leaving your side."

"Yay! You know what, I had a strange dream. It was that Riley came back…" Then out of nowhere a yell came from downstairs,

"ALL VAMPIRES ARE EVIL!"

"So I guess it wasn't a dream."

Buffy slowly came down the stairs leaning on Spike.

When she looked into the living room she now knew for sure it wasn't a dream.

"Buffy, you're ok. I thought that…" Riley began before he got interrupted.

"Riley, what are you doing here?"

"We were tracking down a demon, a Suvolte to be exact, and it brought us here to Sunnydale. When we got here it headed towards the cemetery. We think it set up a nest somewhere near. When we found it you," he said looking towards Buffy, "were bleeding and Spike," he said with disgust in his voice, "was heading towards its. Then without us noticing Sam came behind it and tazored it."

"See luv, told you we should have checked that out."

"Spike don't start. You know I said that. Also who is Sam and where is he?"

"Sam is using the restroom and SHE is…"

"And she is what?" Sam questioned walking back into the living room.

"I was just telling them why we were here and who you are."

"Oh, well in that case, I'm Samantha Finn."

"Wait! Did you just say Finn?" Xander asked a little confused.

"Yes, I'm Riley's wife."

"Riley are you two married?" Buffy questioned still processing everything.

"Yes I was going to tell you just with your little accident I didn't get the chance to." Riley explained.

"Yeah, come on Buffy. I mean you were so busy that I bet you haven't even told Riley about you and Spike yet." Anya stated.

"What?" Riley questioned making sure he heard correctly.

"Ummm…" Buffy nervously said whilst looking towards the ground.

"It's true isn't it?"

"Well ummm…"

"I…I can't believe this." Riley angrily stated. He walked over to Sam and pulled her towards the front door. "Come on Sam we're leaving. I can't…I just….What were you thinking?" With that he left.
