"So Buffy, why have you called a Scooby meeting anyway?" asked Giles when everyone was finally seated.
"Yes Buffy, what's so important that we have to miss out on important orgasm time?" Anya whined, earning glances from the majority of the room. Xander was about to reprimand Anya when he saw something out of the corner of his eye.
"And why did you invite Captain Peroxide?" he moaned. "Oh, let me guess, you didn't" he continued. "He probably invited himself along"
Spike growled but didn't reply, he wanted to stay on Buffy's good side and if that meant tolerating the whelp then so be it. Buffy, however, was having none of it.
"Actually Xander, I did invite him." She almost laughed when she saw the shocked look on Xander's face, and crumbled when she saw the awe in Spike's eyes. She should have done that a long time ago.
"Right, now that everyone's settled, I'd like to make an announcement" smiled Buffy.
"Is it good or bad?" asked Dawn.
"Well" considered Buffy. "I think it's good, and so does Tara" everyone turned to face Tara who smiled when she realised what this was about, as Buffy continued. "And I know you'll be happy. I'm not so sure about everyone else."
"That's ok then" smiled Dawn.
"You're not pregnant are you?" asked Xander jokingly.
"Oh God Buffy, how irresponsible can you be" started Giles, ignoring the fact that Buffy hadn't actually confirmed it yet.
"No I'm not" interrupted Buffy a little harshly.
"It's not as if she has a boyfriend anyway" backed up Willow.
"Actually, that's what I wanted to talk to you about" smiled Buffy a little slyly, making sure she didn't glance at Spike.
"You got a boyfriend?" gasped Willow.
"So that's why you invited Spike" grinned Xander. "You wanted to rub it in. I'm so proud Buff..." but Xander could only gawk as Buffy swaggered over to Spike, planted herself on his lap and kissed him full force. Dawn and Tara smiled as everyone else looked shocked and horrified. When Buffy was done she turned to face her friends.
"Everyone" she announced. "I'd like you to meet my boyfriend"
