They fought for an age, Spike and the demon, together on the cliff. Spike finally wrestled the demon to the ground, and, with the last of his strength, he pushed it over the edge of the cliff.

He sat at the edge of the cliff, exhausted, and he watched the demon scream as he fell to his death, and landed, chest first, on a large, sharp, pointed rock, and died.

Spike took a deep breath, trying to regain some energy, and smiled as he watched the demon die.

After a few minutes of revelling in the death of the demon, Spike stood to leave. But, as he stood, the ground of the cliff's edge crumbled beneath him, and he also fell. However, unlike the demon, he did not scream. But, seconds before he hit the water, he pronounced, in a loud clear voice, "I love you.'

In the middle of the pitch darkness of the deserted beach, Buffy watched as first the demon, and then Spike fell from the cliff.

"OhmyGod! Spike!" she whispered, and she ran to the waters edge and dragged a now unconscious Spike out of the water and off in the direction of the beach car park.
