"That's true but you never now there could be variables that you're unaware of", answered Giles
"You're such a stick in the mud like my watcher, don't look a gift horse in the mouth, we can defeat this evil", said Elizabeth as she looked up from Spike
"Exactly me and Elizabeth will deal with things with or without your help so decide by tomorrow morning", replied Buffy as she stood up and walked out of the room with Elizabeth following
"Buffy, Elizabeth are you crazy", asked Spike as he caught up to them sitting on the back porch
"No brother we see very clearly how the world will be saved so decide are you with us or not", retorted Elizabeth'
"You both know I'd follow you to hell and back but that doesn't make it any less dangerous", stated Spike
"Spike quit the big brother with the stick up the ass routine and give your sister a hug. I going to bed", yelled Buffy as she stood up and walked back into the house
"She does have a point what has it been for you since I left 120 years or so", asked Elizabeth as Spike sat next to her
"I'm sorry I didn't understand", said Spike as he looked at his hands
"About what", asked Elizabeth
"The Slayer Dreams I just thought it was something fun to play when it really caused you a lot of pain at night", whispered Spike
"You didn't know then so how did you find out they're painful", asked Elizabeth as she shrugged it off
"Buffy and Faith you can hear them screaming at times all the way from the basement", stated Spike
"You know Buffy loves you", replied Elizabeth as Spike lifted his head
"No she doesn't I'm just the best warrior", stated Spike
"Talk to her she saw a lot about what happen as I was growing up so she saw a lot of you, may be she was able to distinguish the beast from the man with a soul", smiled Elizabeth as she stood up and left Spike on the porch
"Buffy are you still awake", whispered Spike as he opened Buffys bedroom door
"Yah enjoying the silence all of the girls are asleep in the living room, come in", said Buffy as she sat up on her bed
"I know this is crazy but I need to say this, I love you Buffy and I don't want to see you hurt on some fool quest, I'm not asking you for anything when I say I love you it's not because I want you or because I can't have you. It has nothing to do with me, I love what you are, what you do and how you try but sometimes you can't try when others aren't ready", replied Spike as he stepped into the room and paced from one wall to the other
"Sit down you're making me dizzy, may be you should ask for something and may be they should be ready to try there's no better time", smiled Buffy as she had Spike sit with her on the bed
"What should I ask for from you", asked Spike as he raised an eye brow
"All the love and caring that you deserve, that I refused to give you before, thanks to seeing Elizabeths life I saw yours and I wanted to apologize, you deserve more from me then I ever gave you. I just hope that you'll give me another chance", answered Buffy
"So where do we start", asked Spike
"Naptime", stated Buffy
"Naptime", mimicked Spike as Buffy lay on her bed
"You once got the nerve to say that you wanted the emotion the warmth, so come here", replied Buffy as Spike slowly lay on her bed and she cuddled to his chest
"My beautiful Buffy", whispered Spike as they both fell asleep
Few Hours Later
"Time to see if they think we're crazy or not", said Buffy as she slowly got out of the still sleeping Spikes arms and tip toed out of the room
"The SITs believe us but your friends are not sure, it stems from your friends Xander and his eye", stated Elizabeth as she stood just outside Buffys room
"I guess they've run out of patience with the chance to die, I guess it's just you and me then", whispered Buffy as she peeked back at the sleeping Spike
"You don't want to involve my brother do you", asked Elizabeth
"You saw last night we have a fighting chance where they don't, come on if we leave now there's a possibility they'll never know we're missing", answered Buffy as the two headed down the stairs
"Giles have you seen Buffy or Elizabeth", asked Spike as he walked down the stairs and into the kitchen
"No, I'd figure you'd know", answered Giles as Dawn came running down the stairs
"We've got a small problem Buffy left this on my door", replied Dawn as she handed Spike a piece of paper
"Since I know you'd all try and stop me and Elizabeth we're going on our own to the school. Don't worry everyone things will be fine and we'll go shopping tomorrow per usual, I'm having a wicked shoe craving and Elizabeth needs to get clothes for this era, Love Buffy", read Spike
"We've got to go help them", said Willow to what Spike just read
"So you think we can really do this", asked Elizabeth as they looked at the countless turakhans
"Who else can", answered Buffy as the turakhan charged at then
