This episodes a little sad and short. But, for those of you who think this is the last episode, it's not, theres still more to come. But I need reviews.

" Because I know I can cheat... Well, not until someone gets me out of the chains." she struggled with the chains, but she couldn't get out. Then she looked at the door, " Stupid Spike want-er."

Spike stalked up to the mansion's door. He had hoped that this was the right one, he thought it was, but didn't know for sure. The only thing he was working with was that the mansion smelled like Scarlett. He was about to knock, when the door flew open. His eyes locked with Scarlett.

" Spike." She smiled, " You came."

" Scarlett." Spike said back to her. She waved.

" Long time, no see." She said.

" We need to talk."

" Sure. Sure." She said.

" So..." Spike said trying to come up with a conversation.

" I wasn't expecting you." Scarlett said looking down at her clothes, " If I knew you were coming I could have cleaned up a little." She walked out of the mansion and pulled Spike over to the side of the building. He watched her climb up a ladder and she waved to him. He climbed up the ladder.

" Come on, Scarlett." Spike called from the roof, come up, watch the stars.

" Look at the stars." Scarlett said astounded, " I haven't seem them for so long."

" You've never sat on a roof watching them?"

" No, I had even forgotten about them. But, God, I feel like I've known them for so long... There like my friends."

" Drusilla likes stars." Spike said, " She talks to them."

" I promise I wont talk to them." Scarlett assured him.

" That's good, one crazy girl in the house is enough."

" There so beautiful... There so free." Scarlett smiled at the stars, " I wish I could join them."

" You, can if you want... I wont tell Angelus." Spike said to her, she stared in confusion, " Go find a train... Just hurry before they come back. Go be free."

" I just love the stars." Scarlett smiled, " Don't you?"

" Yeah." Spike sighed, he sat down next to her, on the other side of an open skylight.

" It brings back so many memories." She said looking away.

" Scarlett, I need to talk to you." Spike said. He looked her in the eyes, " I've realized something... I love Buffy, but... I can't make her suffer. I can't grow old with her. Or yell at our grandchildren as they leave their socks on the floor, or wash or dentures together... Or even get married. I want her, God I want her so much. But I also want her to have a wonderful life. I want her to have a normal family... I cant even give her a soddin' family."

" What are you saying?" Scarlett asked.

" Yes, I'll stay with you... I'm going to let Buffy receive what she deserves... Joyce deserves it too. And so do all the super hero wannabes. It's for the best." Spike said, inside he hated what he was saying, but it was something he needed to do.

" ... It's for the best." Buffy heard Spike say, she had heard the whole conversation. It was coming from the skylight, she was to shocked to say anything, thousands of things were going through her mind, and out of all the things that were going through her mind the one that was the most noticeable was the fact that he loved her enough to do that for her.

" Spike..." Buffy whispered, " I love you, please don't do this... Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, ..."

(Flashback)

" I'm going to come back for you Spike, this I promise. One day I'm going to show up and rescue you from this. All this. After all, Your life is wrecked. Even worse than mine." Scarlett said sitting back on the train seat, silently saying bye to the town she had been in so long, but have never seen. As the train continued, she could see her house from her seat. Sitting on the top of the roof, waving to her was Spike: Clad in black and standing in front of the bright white moon.

A few minutes later, Buffy heard no more talking from the roof. A vampire walked in and held the keys.

" Scarlett said you can go." He said.

" Is she still here?"

" No." he said, " she and Spike left a few minutes ago to catch a ride." he unchained her and she bolted out of the room, then out of the house, running continuously until she reached the train station. But she was too late, she had gotten there just as it started to pull out of the station. She stared at the train, hoping somehow that it would stop. But it didn't. she watched as each window went by, and through the last window she said two familiar blue eyes staring at her. But they were gone in an instant.
