Dawn slowly woke up to find herself in bed her hand went to her stomach which felt so twisted she winced.

"Spike?" she asked softly turning over in her bed only to see him sitting by her bed asleep.

"Spike…" she said in a sing song voice. At that Spike snapped his head up

"Oh god Bit!" he said when he realized she was awake and he was instantly by her side cradling her.

"How are you feeling?" Spike asked pulling away to look at her.

"Like I just fought a war." Dawn replied as she lay back against the pillows.

"Well I'll be right back I have to check on Red. You stay right there." Spike directed as he got off her bed and walked towards her door.

As Spike walked into Red's bedroom he saw Giles sitting on the edge of the bed and angel pacing.

"Dawn's awake. Angel would you mind?"

"Not at all I haven't spent time with Dawnie in a while." Angel told him as he walked out of the room.

Spike went to sit next to Giles. "Anything?" He questioned

"No" He muttered standing up and cleaning his glasses.

"She'll be alright Giles. The spell just took a lot out of her" Spike told him reassuringly. Just as Willow muttered something and rolled over closer into the blankets.

"See?" He prompted.

"Yes, I suppose, dear Lord where is Buffy?"

"She's not coming" Willow said slightly returning to consciousness.

"What!" Giles nearly shouted.

"Don't be mad at me." Willow said recoiling as Spike watched 'Red's scared of Giles? Who'd of thought it?' He contemplated.

"I'm not angry at you willow I'm angry at buffy. And if I were angry I believe I would be making a strange clucking sound with my tongue."

That got Willow to laugh and Spike to smile.

"Feel better Red?" Spike inquired

"Much I haven't slept this much since… I can't remember when."

"I appreciate what you did for Dawn" Spike said softly but looking Willow in the eye the entire time.

"Ah I would've done it anyways."

"Well still thanks."

"Your welcome."

ANGEL AND DAWN

Angel gently tapped on Dawn's door and he heard a faint "Come in"

Angel opened the Door and entered.

"Angel" Dawn said with a smile.

"How are you feeling Dawn?" Angel asked as he sat on the edge of her bed.

"God you sound like a shrink" she said and rolled her eyes. Angel gave her a pointed look then laughed but only for a second and he turned serious again.

"I'm Serious Dawn." Looking straight in her eyes he asked "How are you feeling?"

"Honestly?" She asked

"Honestly" He nodded.

"Like shit." She said with a sigh.

"Hey no sighing every time you sigh it's a kiss not gotten."

"Like you'd know" Dawn said.

"I've lived for 240 years give or take a few. I should know."

"Angel?"

"Yeah?"

"Why are you here?"

"I came to help you"

Dawn shook her head"You came to see Buffy but I hate to disappoint you she ditches her sister the minute I could've…. Well you know."

Angel sighs "Dawn, I won't lie to you. It would have been nice to see Buffy but I came here to help you honestly."

"Alright Angel Now tell me what happened to Willow."

"She did the spell that got the spirit out of you."

"And?" Dawn said when Angel didn't continue.

"It took so much out of her she fainted."

"What!" Dawn exclaimed sitting up and flinging the blankets off her. "I have to see her"

"Dawn I don't really think that's a good idea." Angel said as he helped her up since she had almost fallen getting out of bed with her hand clutching her stomach she made her way to the door.

"I have to see her."

"Dawn I" Angel was cut short by Dawn telling him off.

" No angel she saved me only to hurt herself. I have to see her. I'm going to see her." At that Dawn opened the door only to come face to face with the big bad himself, Spike.

"Now just where do you think you're going Nibblet?" He asked with a devilish smile.

"I want to see Willow" Dawn said using all her strength to stand straight up and looked spike defiantly in the eye.

"Well Nibblet…." Spike began and then using his vampire speed picked her up the floor. As she yelled "Spike! Put me down!"

"No way" He said "You might wanna put your arms around my neck Nibblet else you might fall"

"You guys all seem to forget I'm a slayer." Dawn said and literally jumped out of Spike's arms and landed on the carpeted hallway. She was up in a second in fighting stance challenging Spike by a single look in her eyes.

"Nibblet there's no way I'm going to fight you in your condition"

Dawn didn't say anything she merely continued challenging him with her eyes.

"Alright fine I give up, bloody women" Spike said holding up his hands in defeat.

"But let's at least go down to the basement there's more room there." Spike told her gently. Dawn stood up to her full height and walked down the stairs. She reached the basement first. With Angel and Spike close behind her.

"Let's do this." She said

"Nibblet, remember you asked for this." Spike reminded her as they both took on fighting stances.

"Remember you agreed to it" She countered.

"Fair enough" Spike said.

And with that the fight began!
