"Are you sure you don't want us to stay?" Willow asked Buffy.
"I'm sure Will, you and Xander go salvage whatever is left of an evening." Buffy assured her friend. "If Summer asking for us to be turned back doesn't work we can start fresh in the morning. Now Go, Have Fun."
"Night Buff, call us in the morning." Xander smiled as he kissed her cheek and left with Willow.
"Where are Red and the Whelp going?" Spike asked coming downstairs.
"The good news is we think we figured out the problem. The bad news is it involves Summer." Buffy sighed walking over to him. "I need you to bring down our two guests from upstairs."
"Right Now," Spike asked in shock, "with Summer down here."
"Unless you want to stay like this," Buffy suggested.
"Am I in trouble?" Summer asked with her lower lip trembling.
"Of course not sweetie," Buffy hugged her daughter. "But daddy and I need you to do us a favor."

"I wish that mommy and daddy were back the way they were." Summer commanded.
"Nothing happened." Vampire observed.
"I knew this was a stupid idea." Slayer rolled her eyes. "No kid that young can do proper magic let alone a reversal spell."
"Maybe you two would like it back upstairs." Faith retorted. "Let the kid try again, any kid in this family is born having a few tricks up her sleeve."
"Mommy," Summer cried, "I'm so sorry I hurt you. I just wanted you to spend more time with me."
"It is okay sweetie, I understand, and I could never be mad at you, now try again." Buffy encouraged her.
"I command the spell be broken." Summer screamed and with a flash of blinding light Buffy and Slayer merged back together and Spike and Vampire merged back together.
"Oh it feels so good to be me again." Buffy smiled as she hugged Spike.
"I know what you mean Luv." Spike laughed as he kissed her.
"And you little girl." Buffy turned towards her daughter, "are going to become an awesome witch someday."
"Mommy," Summer smiled as she jumped on her mother.
"I am so sorry you ever felt the need to do a spell for us to spend more time with you." Buffy cried. "I promise that I will try to do a much better job of being here for you. I love you so much."
"Well that's the cue for us to leave." Faith exclaimed, "crisis over."
Buffy looked at Spike and he nodded.
"You don't have to go yet. It might be nice to have some downtime to catch up and I know for a fact that Angel's old mansion is still abandoned. Please stay for a few days. Speaking as an evil fighter myself, we can always use all the downtime we can get." Buffy offered.
"Well," Angel coughed, "I don't know."
"Oh come on Peaches," Spike taunted him. "Angel Investigations can run for a few more days without the two of you. That's why you have that crack team of specialist."
"Why not," Faith smiled. "It could be fun."
