Buffy sat fiddling with the neatly wrapped present Spike had given her. Sure, the demon was now dead but they were still no closer to solving how to escape this house. Willow and Tara walked in, closely followed by Dawn, and sat down opposite her.

"What's that?" asked Willow cheerfully.

"Present" muttered Buffy.

"Who from?" asked Dawn.

"Spike" said Buffy softly, like just that word held a thousand meanings.

"Well, aren't you gonna open it?" smiled Willow. Buffy looked up at her and then back down at the present. Slowly, she unravelled the ribbons and bow and unwrapped the present. A square box was revealed that looked incredibly expensive and like it held something important. Buffy glanced up and, seeing them nod, opened the box. She gasped lightly at what she saw. Inside was a beautiful necklace that was made from small circular gems connected on a gold chain. In the middle hung a crystal blue heart with the word 'Goddess' inscribed on the back. It also contained a pair of matching earrings. She was even more impressed when she realised that the gems were the colour of their eyes; Alternating green and blue from the heart. From her speechless expression, Willow reached over for the box.

"Can we see?" she asked. Buffy nodded dumbly as she handed it over to her friends, who were equally as gob smacked.

"Buffy, this is beautiful" whispered Tara.

"I wish I had a guy who gave me such wonderful gifts" sighed Dawn.

Buffy quickly composed herself and remarked. "Well, he obviously stole it"

"So what if he did?" snapped Dawn. "It's gorgeous, at least he was thinking about you"

"I don't know if he did" said Willow suddenly.

"What do you mean" asked Buffy quietly. She realised that if Spike really hadn't stolen it she'd be in trouble. It would show that he really cared and went to a lot of trouble for her, meaning she'd have to thank him.

"It's inscribed" continued Willow. "If he stole it, then it wouldn't be inscribed"

"There's a note" smiled Tara suddenly as she handed it to Buffy. Buffy opened it cautiously and started reading in her head.
