"Well Spi oh I mean Santa that's the perfect torture device for later",
answered Dawn as they were out of hearing distance of their parents
"I say it's a whole new low for the Big Bad", added Buffy as she stood to his right
"Yah well I wouldn't of had to do this if you hadn't gottan your self killed for the third time", answered Spike as he looked at Buffy who couldn't help but laugh at Spikes red suit and white beard, along with a fat pillow made belly.
"So what's up are we not going to make things better", asked Dawn concerned about every ones lives
"Well nibblet we are going to make things better but the slayer here doesn't have her memory mark yet so I have to give it to her or she'll slowly forget everything and the few things she does remember will influence her subconscious and it could change everything", replied Spike
"So how do I get the tattoo the powers said I would get it from my love", asked Buffy remembering her dream
To that Spike yelled to Joyce, "Why don't you take a picture of your two beautiful girls with Santa"
"Come on Buffy", laughed Dawn as she caught Buffy off guard and pulled her on to Spikes lap. Spike hugged the two girls and lowered a hand to Buffys left hipbone. With both girls smiling Joyce took the picture not knowing at that very moment Buffy was receiving her first magical tattoo.
"Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and here's a little gift so you can see your friends", stated Spike as the girls stood up and he handed a small bag to Buffy
"See you soon Santa and thanks for all the gifts", laughed Dawn as the two slowly walked back to their parents
The Summers Residence
"So Buffy what kind of tattoo did you get and what was in the bag Spike gave you", asked Dawn as she snuck into Buffys room
"It's kinda ironic", answered Buffy as she stood in front of the mirror looking at a tattoo of a heart with a metal spike and a wooden stake crossed over it
"So the spike represents Spike and the stake represents you", asked Dawn as Buffy covered the tattoo
"May be, I don't know", answered Buffy as she walked over to her bed and picked up the bag Spike gave her
"Please don't tell me your trying to hide your feelings for him again. We're suppose to fix the mistakes we made and it was a big mistake for you to hide your love for him", replied a stern Dawn
"Lets not talk about this now, can we just try and figure out why Spike gave us one of those Klutz Cats Cradle books", said Buffy as she passed the book to Dawn
"Say the name of the person you desire to see and then make their design", read Dawn from the cover of the book then added, "It looks like Taras writing"
"It also has Spikes writing saying that it was a last minute idea that Tara sent him when she found out I was sent here as well", added Buffy as Dawn flipped to the first design
"Cup and Saucer and it has Xanders name", replied Dawn as she took the string off the cover of the book and attempted the design.
"You want me to do that, as I remember you couldn't do it until you were 9", said Buffy and Dawn grudgingly gave her the string
"Xander", announced Buffy then she created the cup and saucer
"You must have done something wrong nothings happening", replied Dawn, then before Buffy could say anything a light blue light filled the cup section of the string and an image of Xander laying on the grass out side of his families house appeared and they could hear distant yelling and screaming.
"Oh my god", stated Dawn as she looked at the picture in between Buffys fingers
"He's camping out side because he doesn't like the way his family fights around the holidays", said Buffy in aw
"Who else can we see", asked Dawn as Buffy dropped the string, causing the picture disappeared and they flipped through the book
"The Eiffel Tower represents both you and Anya, Witches Broom is Tara and Willow, Jacobs Ladder represents me and Spike", stated Buffy as she looked at all the pages
"Lets see Spike may be he's a kid now", said Dawn and to that Buffy said Spike and made a Jacobs Ladder
"Look at him isn't he so cute", laughed Buffy as they looked at Spike through the Xs of the ladder
"Where is he and who's the woman and two girls he's talking to", asked Dawn as the three females appeared
"I think it's Tara, Anya and Taras Mom", answered Buffy as they watched the scene
"It's nice to meet you Spike", said Taras Mom as she shook Spikes hand
"Same to you ma'am so this is where we're going to be stayin until we can get with the Slayer and the others", asked Spike as he looked around
"Yes and it was a very good price, especially since the powers only gave us enough money to buy the apartment", replied Anya
"Just think they at least provide us with fake ids and they could have made us pay for the tattoo", supplied Tara
"What do you mean tattoos", asked Sarah
"So we'd keep our memories and we could give our friends their future memories we received magical tattoos. I got a heart with a spike and a stake and I was able to give Buffy an identical tattoo so she can keep her memory", answered Spike
"For me its two roses intertwined one yellow and one red because Willow is a lot like me she's also a witch but she has red hair and I have blond or yellow", said Tara as her mother thought about this
"I have a pretty necklace wrapped around an eye because my boyfriends contribution to the Scooby's is that he sees what's going on and part of me is that I use to be a vengeance demon and our power comes from our necklace", added Anya
"I've heard of this spell before, you all must be really close to your friends or more then friends", stated a knowing Sarah
"What are you tal-talking about", stuttered Tara
"I may only dabble in magic but I know of many spell this one is very rare and it can only be done between lovers who are truly soul mates", said Sarah with confidence
"You've found us all out Anya was a vengeance demon and destroyed many men and then fell in love with one, I'm personally a masochist I fell in love with the woman who is suppose to kill me and I'm suppose to kill her, Taras a lesbian witch who fell in love with someone exactly like her, and to complete this screwed up love puzzle Sarah fell in love with a pig man who was only using her for a glorified slave", supported Spike seeing Taras discomfort
"Leave it to Spike", laughed Dawn as Buffy dropped the cats cradle
Four days later
"Welcome to Los Angeles Shining Star Elementary School and all but I think you three will have no trouble adapting to our school", instructed Principal Stevens
"Thank you", answered Spike as he sat in front of the desk with Anya and Tara at his sides
"So we have Tara and Anya Jenkins in room 206 with Mr. Rogers 6th grade class and William Winters in 187, Miss. Macins 6th grade class. I hope you all have a wonderful day", said the Principal as she shoed the three out
"Bloody Hell this is going to be torture", replied Spike as he walked the opposite way of Willow and Tara
Sun Set Elementary
"Miss. Summers it's nice to see you finally decided to join the class", said a blue haired teacher as Buffy walked in ten minutes late
"Sorry Mrs. Sandrine I lost track of time", answered Buffy remembering her lie was first used because she was spying on John James the six grade cutie but this time it was thinking about Spike.
"Well open your math book to the long division section", replied Mrs. Sandrine as Buffy sat down in her seat
"I don't have it, what am I ever going to need math for I'm going to be a fashion model", retorted Buffy as the rest of the class laughed
"I see vacation hasn't stemmed your valley girl attitude", said the frustrated Mrs. Sandrine
"Sorry but I have better things to do with my life", stated Buffy thinking of how she couldn't take much more of this
Shining Star
"Please welcome Anya and Tara Jenkins to Shining star", replied Mr. Rogers as Tara and Anya stood in front of the class
"Hi", echoed the class as Mr. Rogers pointed out seats for the two
"I know it's difficult to start at a new school haft year but don't be afraid to ask any questions", stated Mr. Rogers then he went on to the days lessons
"Where'd you move from and are you related or something, it's strange how three people transferred in on the same day", whispered a girl next to Tara
"San Francisco", answered Tara
"And we're foster sisters, our foster brother also transferred in he's in Miss. Macins class", added Anya
"He most be smart only the geniuses get into that class", said a boy behind Anya
"You wouldn't think that by looking at him I saw him come in and he looks like a little punk", laughed a bulky boy two seats up
"Mr. Finn please be quiet I'm trying to teacher here", said Mr. Rogers as he turned around from the black board
Miss. Macins Class
"William why don't you have a seat there", replied Miss. Macin as she pointed out a seat in the middle of the room
"Okay", replied Spike as he walked past the staring faces of his new class mates
"So tell me what have you covered in school so far this year", asked Miss. Macin
"I haven't gone to school before I just read a lot so I was able to pass the placement test", answered Spike as the class continued to stare but who could blame them he was wearing a black shirt, jeans and combat boots along with his light brown hair in curls.
"Okay then if you have any questions just ask", said Miss. Macin as she wrote a group of page numbers on the board
"So freak what brings you to our school", asked a boy behind Spike
"Just trying to keep busy so I don't kill any more people", smiled Spike to the boys shock
"I say it's a whole new low for the Big Bad", added Buffy as she stood to his right
"Yah well I wouldn't of had to do this if you hadn't gottan your self killed for the third time", answered Spike as he looked at Buffy who couldn't help but laugh at Spikes red suit and white beard, along with a fat pillow made belly.
