Cut to
Summers House : 23.55

Buffy stepped into her house wiping her feet as she did so. She took of her coat and hung it up. She walked over to the sofa where Willow and Xander were sleeping. They had fallen asleep through a dull 80's movie. She smiled and grabbed a blue and white blanket that was in a pile on the floor. She placed it on them both and smiled. She then walked up the stairs into Dawn's room. Dawn was still awake. She was talking on some teen chat room.

Buffy: Dawn?

Dawn jumped at the shock of Buffy saying her name.

Dawn: Buffy...um i was just--
Buffy: Dont worry, just make sure you get to bed soon ok?
Dawn smiled
Dawn: Yeah, sure!

Buffy stepped back out of Dawns room and went into her bedroom. As she walked in she noticed a piece of paper on the bed folded up twice. She opened it and it read:

Buffy
Meet at Bronze 8pm
Spike

She smiled and placed the piece of paper in her jacket pocket. She sliped her jacket off and placed it on the back of her chair. She got the rest of her clothes off and slipped into some comfy blue pyjamas. She got into her bed and fell asleep with a smile on her face.

Next morning : Summers House : 8.00

Buffy awoke with a smile on her face. She had dreamt of what was going to happen that evening.

Giles: Buffy? You up? I need a word.
Buffy: I'll be right down!

Buffy got up and stumbled over to her cupboard where her dressing gown was hung up on a pink furry hanger. She swung the dressing gown around her and tied the bow. She walked downstairs to find Giles standing there with his coat on and a small suitcase.

Buffy: Giles?
Giles: Buffy I need to run to England, The Watchers Council they called they need me!
Buffy: Why?
Giles: Apparently, a slayer has arrived in England, ...shes only 11. She was attacked by some sort of demon, hellhound slash were wolf, her family were killed and she was picked up by John Smith, the newest member to the uh to the watchers council. We may have to bring her back. Teach her a few things!
Buffy: Yeah, sure of course anything!...11?
Giles: Yes.(he looked at her surprised)

Andrew comes running around.

Andrew: Mr Giles, Mr Giles, Kennedy just told me your leaving. Is it true?
Giles: Well, I wouldnt be standing here in the hall with my coat on with a suitcase if i was taking a trip to the mall would I?
Andrew: Can I come?
Giles: NO you cant co--

He is stopped by the glare coming from Buffy insisting he take him.

Giles: Oh right come on then! Get your stuff! (he sighs and looks at Buffy)

Buffy gives a big grin.

19.30

Buffy is up in her room getting ready for her "date" tonight or at least what she thinks is a date. She is putting on a silver dress that comes just above her knees. She puts knee high silver boots on that sparkle in the light.She puts her hair up into a ponytail and puts lots of make up on. She looks beautiful. She checks once more in the mirror before heading downstairs. She walks into the kitchen.

Xander: WOW Buff, gimme some sunglasses otherwise im gona go blind?
Willow: ooooh Buffy! Where you off?
Buffy: Nowhere
Willow: You have a date dont you?
Buffy: Maybe! ( she says in a sligh way)
Willow: Who is he? Is he nice? Buffy?

Dawn enters

Dawn: whos who?
Willow: ( with a big grin on her face) Buffy got a date
Dawn: really? oh wow. who is it? Oh its not that guy from next door is it... um...um...
Xander: Nate! (looking rather pleased with himself)
Dawn: Yeah right Nate, its not him is it?
Buffy: No its not Nate and im not saying anything else! ( she smiles and walks out of the room)

Buffy walked towards the front door, she picked up her jacket and put it on. She opened the front door.

Buffy: Bye you guys, Dawn get to bed early tonight.
Dawn: But I want to stay up and see how your date went!
Buffy: NO, I wouldnt wait up. ( she puts a big grin across her face)
Willow: Have a nice time!
Buffy: Thanks Will.

They all stand by the front door and watch as Buffy makes her way down the path.

Bronze : 19.53

Buffy enters the Bronze. She takes off her jacket and hangs it around her arm. Spike senses that she has entered the Bronze. He stands up and walks over to her.

Spike: Hello Buffy! You look--

He is cut off by the feel of he soft lips against his. She pulls away. They look at each other and smile.

Buffy: Hello Spike
Spike: yeah...um...well that was--

He is cut of again by Buffy kissing him. They stand there for several minutes, in there own world. They both pull away and exchange smiles.

Spike: So uh...do you wanna um... i dunno, what do you want to do?
Buffy: Well to be honest with you, this place isnt looking to lively (she looks around and there are two people up on the dancefloor) Im guessing not many people have heard of the new bronze.
Spike: Or theyre to bloody scared. For all the things that have happened here.
Buffy: I guess (she chuckles)
Spike: Do you wanna come back to my ...well boiler room.
Buffy: Sure! (she smiles) and I need to talk to you too.
Spike: Oh! Right. Ok then lets go.

Spike: What?
Buffy: Nothing (her eyes widen)
Spike: So uh, what did you want to talk about?
Buffy: Uh...theres just a few things that I have to get clear with you. Im in a stage of my life since you went that I needed to start getting over you. I tried so hard for a year but nothing seemed to work. But now your back, and I just dont know what to say, or what to do, im just stuck.
Spike: Buffy, Im sorry I came back this way, I know you want an expanation for what happened but.
Buffy: No its ok, im not angry at you im just shocked i s'pose.
Spike: Is there anything I can do?
Buffy: Well there is just one thing

Buffy: Will you hold me?
Spike: What?
Buffy: Will you hold me. I told the others not to wait up for me so...
Spike: Well while that would be nice i was thinking we could do something a little more than that.

He puts a cute grin on his face. She steps in and he leans down and kisses her.

next morning : Boiler room : 8.09

Buffy stirs and finds a big arm strapped across her waist. She then remembers the night before. She smiles. All of a sudden Spike jumps.

Spike: ahhhh
Buffy: Spike, Spike? Are you ok?
Spike: Buffy? Uh yeah, im good thanks. ( he looks around the room confused)
Buffy: Did you have a bad dream?
Spike: I was, but then I woke up and saw you, now all my troubles are gone. ( he leans down and kisses her on her shoulder)
Buffy: Uh Spike?
Spike: Yeah
Buffy: Can this be our little secret?
Spike: What? You sleeping with me?
Buffy: No, you, the whole you coming back, i just dont know if i can put up with all the questions and i think it would just be easier.
Spike: your not ashamed of me are you luv?
Buffy: NO NO NO, its just tryng to explain everything to all of them, especially Dawn, i just wouldnt know what to say. ok?
Spike: Anything! (he smiles at her)

Buffy flips her wrist and her silver watch flies around her wrist.

Buffy: Oh my God. Its quarter past eight.
Spike: Yeah? (looking confused)
Buffy: i got to get back.
Spike: Why I thought you told them not to wait up.
Buffy: yes, but i wanted to get back so they dont worry about me, i want to sneak back in and go to bed.
Spike: yeah im a little tired too, 5 hours straight is just...
Buffy: Tiring.
Spike: Fun
Buffy: But tiring (she shoots back down on the blanket that she had been sleeping on)
Spike: Uh Buffy? (she looks at him confused) quarter past eight.
Buffy: oh crap yeah.

She stands up and searches for her clothes. She can see her silver dress in the corner. She puts it on and starts searching again.

Buffy: Spike, have you seen my underw-- (she turns around and sees him trying them on)
Spike: You know I think there a little small for me.
Buffy: (laughing) You know what you keep them.
Spike: What are you gonna wear luv, its a little nippy out there for a girl going commando.
Buffy: hmmmmmm(she looks round the room and spots a pile of clothes, she searches through and finds a pair of blue boxers) these will do (she puts a cheeky grin on her face, she slips them up and picks up her jacket and starts heading for the door)
Spike: hey! wheres my kiss?
Buffy: Oh im sorry, im just trying to stop these boxers giving me a wedgie.

they both laugh. She walks over to him and gives him a peck on the lips. But knowing Spike he wants more, he grabs her and they passionatly kiss for a moment and then ralise this isnt good if Buffy wants to go.

Buffy: Bye Spike.

She continues facing him as she opens the door and steps outside.

Spike: When will I see you?
Buffy: Ill stop by later (she smiles)
Spike: Ok.

She starts walking away as he watches his lover go. He closes the door and sighs with a grin on his face, he looked over and realised she had left her cell phone there. he picked it up and went to the messages. There were 10 messages in a row from someone who Spike had not liked in the past and still didnt like. You can see the anger building up on his face.

Spike: Riley! (he mumbled under his breath)
