Chapter 5
Buffy and Spike walk to the table; they look at the walls which are made of marble. The walls have Egyptian writing on them. The table is made of wood and at least sits twenty by their counting. Buffy notices a vase that seems familiar to her; she cannot think where she has seen it. Spike turns to Buffy and points out the mummy's coffin; it is painted in bright colors. By the time they both make to the table, they are both freaked out.
"Welcome to my place, sit and we will begin." Ms. Blanco says as she pulls three chairs out.
"We would like some information about your research; we are doing a paper about past lives and other beliefs. Spike and I would like to interview you for our paper." Buffy tries to be professional about this, but she is being creeped out. This person is looking at her, it is as if she can see her soul, and is found wanting.
"I would love to give you info; but sir can you wait in here." She leads Mr. Aston to a side room that either Buffy or Spike noticed while coming in. "Here is some tapes that explains our center. I need to speak with children alone for a few minutes." Mr. Aston looks concerned; he looks around her and sees Spike begging with his eyes not humiliate him. He walks in the side room sits down. "I will wait here but don't be long you two. I have to go to work this afternoon."
Buffy and Spike interview the women for about an hour before she asks to give them a statement they can use. Ms. Blanco spread a map of the stars, and then she puts crystals on it.
"This is my belief; I have knowledge of the spirits world and how it works. The Egyptians believe that their souls go on to a better place if they earned their way. This may not sound right, but this is the way things work." She looks at them then she start with her beliefs.
"We all have a soul mate; we go thru the ages looking for the other. Sometimes we find ours, but we turn them away. The soul is a funny thing; it goes from one body to another without a sense of time. The soul cannot leave a body without dieing first. Every life it tries to find its soul mate, in the process trying to do better in its last life. When finally the souls finds it mate; then they must live up too their station in the ways of the cosmos. Then only can the two souls find true peace." She finishes and turns away. Buffy and Spike have their interview, but it just does not sound right. "You both will understand soon."
"That lady was nuts, if being crazy gets our grade then more power to her. I personally don't believe a thing she said." Buffy says as she gets in the car to go home and finish their paper. Spike taken back by the women comments and the whole ride home he is quiet.
Buffy and Spike turn in their papers and forget the women or her statement.
Four years later
Spike drives into the Summers' drive honking the horn for Buffy and Willow. They run out the door of their house and pile in Spike rusty old car. They proceed to Xander's house and finally picking up Willow's boyfriend Oz.
"Xander is Cordy going to prom with you?" Xander blushes and gives the universal sign for (I have no clue). "I asked, but she said that I had to rent a car because she was not riding in this piece of junk." He says as Spike slams on the brakes in the school parking lot.
They all get out and walk to the school building. If you have asked Spike or Buffy three years ago if they would be together, they would have laugh. Now they are together more then apart. They both are happy and planning for the prom that is coming up in two weeks.
Sorry it has taken such a long time but my stupid machine would not read my a drive. I will update more often. Thank you for reading my story.
