Summary: You're so close but still a world away - River ponders Spike and what he's lacking.
A/N: This drabble was written in about ten minutes as I was trying to fall asleep. Also, this is part 1 of twenty drabbles/ficlets done for no real reason (although, I managed to use this part for one of my 100 Spiver drabbles for joss100). The song is Crazy For You by Madonna off of the 13 Going On 30 soundtrack.

Crazy For You

"You're so close but still a world away."

River glanced over at the echoes imprinted on her mind as they stood before her. A man with golden hair was reaching for a blonde haired woman. Their hands entwined in a fiery final embrace, but they were miles away from each other. Tears shone in the woman's eyes, but his were clear and knowing.

He'd always fallen hard and fast, and in her own way, so had she. She hadn't been his first, nor would she be his last. But she'd been the one who'd meant the most to him, above all else. River blinked as he stiffened, turned, and faced her.

Spike stared at the girl when he'd felt her eyes fall heavily on him. For half a second, the gleam in her eyes reminded him do much of Dru. And then she smiled at him, and if his heart could of skipped a beat, it would have. River simply slipped around her brother and the mercenary and up the stairs.

That smile had been all of the Slayer's.
