Spike was watching his telly when he felt the pain again. He was surrounded by it. Then he felt the power surge through him. Spike's vision began to blur as the pain and power increased. He began to feel really dizzy too and his hair was no longer blonde but black. He stumbled out of his chair and tried to blink away the darkness, even his pupils had turned all black. But before he could take another step he was on the floor unconscious.
~~~~~
"What is he talking about?" Dawn asked. She was still worried about Spike and if there was something wrong with him, she wanted to know. He was her friend, and she wasn't about to lose him like she lost her Mom. He was the only one she could talk to.
"Nothing!" Buffy yells quickly.
"Stop treating me like a child and tell me," Dawn demanded impatiently. Figures, all she does is treat Dawn like a baby. At least Spike tells her like it is. He knows that you can't protect someone from the world. You will just make them unprepared for it. But Buffy didn't get that.
"Hey Dawnie, why don't we play The Game of Life? I promise I won't steal your money," Anya perked.
Dawn was about to say something then stops to look at Anya, "Wait, you steal my money?" She then shakes her head and says, "Look, that's not the point. Now tell me what's up."
"No," Buffy states.
"Why not?"
Buffy thinks for a second before saying, "Because."
"Because why?" Dawn asks putting her hands on her hips.
"Because... you have homework to do. So go home and get started." Buffy told her.
"Fine," Dawn said reluctantly, "but I'll find out."
Dawn ran out of the Magic Shop. However, instead of going home she headed straight to Spike's. If Buffy wasn't going to tell her, she would find out herself.
"Why didn't you tell her?" Willow asked.
"She doesn't need to know. We'll figure this out," Buffy said as she sighed heavily.
"Are we all agreed here that Spike is going to pick Dru?" Xander asks.
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.
"Then we have to kill Spike now before he can choose," Xander states. He finally had a good reason to stake Spike.
"We could always figure out another way to beat Glory," Willow says. She, however, didn't want to stake Spike. He has been nice to her and Tara. And he was also there for Dawnie.
"Xander's right Willow," Giles adds.
"We've beaten prophecies before and we can do it again," Xander replies proudly.
"I think it's possible," Giles agrees.
"All in favor of staking the Billy Idol wannabe, say I," Xander says.
"We don't have too stake Spike. There has to be another way," Willow said helplessly.
"I'm afraid there is no other way, this is it. We have to beat Spike before he can pick," Giles says.
"What makes you so sure he'll choose Dru, why can't you trust him?" Willow argues.
"Because he will be given the chance to kill us and live on top of the food chain again. What do you think he'll choose?"
Willow sighs and slumps in her seat.
"Good, anyone else against it?" Xander asks when Giles and Willow finish.
When no one replied Xander says, "That settles it then, Spike is as good as dead... or deader."
Tara suddenly starts uttering something. She rocks back and forth as the words grow louder.
"No, no, no; love is guiding him," she says frantically.
"Shh, it's okay," Willow says as she tries to calm her.
"What are you waiting for, go stake Spike," Anya reminds Buffy.
"Oh, yeah. Okay, I'll go now," Buffy says standing. She wasn't really gonna kill him, she'd just ask him if he knew anything about it. Maybe get him to pick her. She'd think about it when she got there.
"Can I come?" Xander asks.
"Why?" Buffy asks surprised.
"I wanna see you get rid of him once and for all," he explains.
"Sure you can come," she says unsure. This really messed up her plan now. She really didn't want to kill Spike anyway, she had gotten used to his company. He was a good friend with Dawn and he helped her out on patrol. And she even, what was the word, cared for him. But with Xander coming she'd have to. She would have to wish for a miracle now.
"Yay!" he says jumping up.
"Anyone else?" she asks. Xander was way too excited in her opinion and it was kind of scaring her.
Giles stands and says, "I guess I could tag along also."
"I'll stay here with Tara," Willow says. She didn't want to see Spike turn to dust.
"And I'll watched the store!" Anya replies excited.
"Lets go then," Buffy says reluctantly.
And all three of them head out the door toward Spike's crypt.
