Chapter 2: Wanting what you cant have

The next morning was different ,Dawn woke up and went downstairs with her head held high " morning" she forced a smile.

Xander spun round with a mug of coffee in his hand" hey look who it is it's the dawnster" he pulled a grin " we thought we'd lost you sweetie"

Dawn nodded" yea well im fine…can you drop me at school today?" she asked looking at Xander.

Xander exchanged a look with Willow then forced a smile for Dawn and nodded" of course….your ready now I'll drop you off?"

Dawn nodded pulling a strand of hair out of her " yea can we just go". She grabbed her bag and walked out.

Willow frowned leaning against the counter" ok Xander you need to talk to her…she's taking it really hard"

Xander Nodded" well what do you expect…look I'll talk to her don't worry everything will be ok" he smiled and left the house, leaving Willow alone.

Willow hurried upstairs to her room grabbing some stuff out of the chest she had, she hurried downstairs and set up her things… she didn't care what anyone was going to say she was bringing Buffy back.

For everything there is a season, And a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; A time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing; A time to seek, and a time to lose; A time to keep, and a time to throw away; A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate,
A time for war, and a time for peace.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Giles knocked on the door opening it" hello? Willow Xander?" he went into the living room seeing Willow crying " Willow what's wrong?"

Willow looked up at Giles and lifted her knees up to her chest " I tried to bring her back" she sniffed wiping her eyes.

Giles stood in shock " you tried to what, Willow are you crazy, do you not remember what Dawn tried to do with her mother"

Willow shouted standing up" I know Giles…ok...I know I didn't do anything" She started crying " im sorry I just want Buffy back, we can do this without her"

Giles frowned " actually we maybe able to get her back, without the magic's"

Willow looked confused" how?"


Spike lay on the bed in the small dark crypt in which he called home oblivious to anything that was happening around him. As he lay there grasping hold of a small trinket. He opened his eyes slowly " I know your in here love you don't have to hide"

A dark mysterious character came out and gave Spike a huge wave "Hi" Willow gavehim a cheesy smile.

Spike frowned " Uh can I help you?"

Willow nodded and sat down" actually you can" She paused for just a moment eyes locked into Spikes eyes "say you wouldn't happen to have robo Buffy still?"

" Erm sure I have her it's the only thing of Buffy I have left every night I- Well you don't need to know, why do you want her anyways, not thinking of taking advantage of your dear best friend now are you?"

Willow pulled a grossed out look" that's…eww…no…why would you think…eww major eww I just you know maybe try and convince all the bad things that Buffys still alive you know train her up to be just like Buffy"

Spike nodded" right I getcha" he suddenly felt embarrassed, he looked away.

Willow waited as patiently as she could " Ok? So can I have her then?"

Spike cleared his throat right yes" he answered awkwardly, he got up and went underground popping back up a couple of seconds " Here she is our dear Buffy"

Willow pulled a smile "thanks" she stared at the Buffybot for a moment then back At Spike " Hey Spike can I ask you a question… Why Buffy, Why the obsession with Buffy its kinda creepy?"

Spike pulled a nervous Smile " I really don't know how to answer that question I mean sure she's the slayer and I like to crush each of their skulls in but Buffys different…she's pure and good and loving" he sniffed scrunching up his face and looking up at the sky trying to restrain himself from crying.

Willow placed a hand on his shoulder " Im sorry I know you loved her"

Spike pulled away " Like hell I did I don't need any of your sympathy…just takethe sodding Bot" he walked away down into the sewers.

When Willow had arrived home she placed the Buffybot on the sofa and went upstairs to collect the stuff she'd need for all her sciency stuff. It took her a while but it was worth it, she didn't want anyone else getting hurt from patrolling.
