Spike ran through the streets. It was almost midnight. He had to make it quick or else he could lose her...forever...
"Alice, pack your bags!"

Alice looked at Elizabeth. "Pack my bags? For what?" she asked. Elizabeth walked to her. "Vicious told me that we are supposed to leave this house today. It seems we are going back to Jupiter." She said as she took out the clothes from the cupboard.

Alice raised an eyebrow. "Jupiter? Why didn't he tell us that before?" she asked. Elizabeth shrugged. "I don't really know…" she said, "I have to pack other's bags now, they're such lazy bumps!!" Alice smiled.

"Fine. Do they know?" she asked. "Yes, sweetheart." She said. "Well, I'll just come." Alice muttered. "Hey, you're lazy too!" Elizabeth called out. Alice smiled.

Alice walked out of the room. She ran down the living room only to bump into Vicious. He smiled at her evilly. "Hello, Alice, having fun?" He asked. Alice scowled inwardly. "Yes…" she stammered. "Doesn't seem like it." He said. "Excuse me please." She said and ran outside. She sat down on the sand. Ah…at night it used to be sooo pleasant there. She wondered why they were leaving such a heavenly place.

She wondered what Spike must be doing now.

Spike.

She had this strange feeling. It felt so sad to leave him. She wished she could see him once more. She wished she had run away like he had suggested… if only…

Now she didn't know whether Spike had left the Earth or not. She wanted to talk to him. Lost in her thoughts she carved 'A.S' on the sand. Then when she realized what she had written, she blushed and brushed the sand.

What the hell was she thinking?

"ALICE!" Amie came running. "Alice!! Cummon, let's eat something. We'll have nothing to eat when we'll be traveling…or maybe we'll take a little bit of food." She said.

"Sure, let's go." Alice said and got up. She turned back. Was he going to come? She wished he'd come. She would love to get away from Vicious.

"Alice?"

Alice looked at a very confused Amie. "What are you waiting for?" she asked. Alice shook her head. Of course she couldn't say 'I was waiting for Spike to rescue me from this horrible place!'

Amie shrugged. "Cummon now." Amie pulled her towards the house.

Spike.

Spike seemed lost. Did he take a wrong turn? Oh no! This place was huge. He wondered where he would find her. He decided to go back and turn the other way. He turned and ran back.
"All ready?" Vicious asked. Yuna nodded. "Yes, we're all set to go." She said. He smiled and looked at Alice who scowled. She hated him. He gestured them to move forward. Yuna gently pushed Alice forward. She knew something was wrong….she had this feeling… some tension between Alice and Vicious…she felt it…

They walked out. "The plane's waiting for us near the dock. It'll take about 20 minutes to reach the dock." Lin said. Yuna nodded. They started walking along the shore. The waves made a pleasant noise. Amie and Nilina chattered away merrily. Alice looked at the street. She wondered if he was really going to come.

Spike, where are you?

"Alice?"

Alice looked at Yuna who intensely looked at her. "Is something wrong?" she asked. Alice shook her head. "No, Yuna. Nothing's wrong." She said. Yuna looked suspiciously at her. Alice walked forward.

"Alice! Stop!" Yuna called out but Alice went on walking. Yuna ran to her. The others were a bit far away. "Alice, you can talk to me!" she said. Alice looked at Yuna and said, "Yuna, please I don't want to talk about it."

"You're waiting for Spike, right?" Yuna whispered. Alice stopped and looked at Yuna. "How…how did you-?" Yuna smiled. "I know you're waiting for him. I'm your Onee-san so why wouldn't I know?"

"But, Vicious…"

Yuna stopped her. "Go and get him! He's yours and no one can take him away from you." Yuna said. Alice looked up with surprise. "But I don't know he's one Earth or not." She said. Yuna put a hand on her shoulder. "Alice, he'll come and take you away from this wicked world and you'll be happy with him, forever…" Alice smiled.

"I promise there'll be nothing that'll worry you, we'll live somewhere far off….from this wicked world….where we could be happy…forever…."

Alice hugged Yuna. "Onee-san, you're the best!" she whispered. "Hey, look, we don't want to miss the others now!" Yuna said. She knew this was never going to happen. Vicious would never allow Alice to go away at any cost but she was happy to see the happiness on Alice's face again.

Yuna had a feeling that Vicious was planning something. Alice waved to Yuna. She realized that the others had gone far off. "Yeah! I'm coming!!" with this she ran off to join the others.

Alice felt happy but a small part inside her told her that Spike was never going to come but she kept on walking with little hope that Yuna had given her.

"ALICE!"

Everyone stopped. They looked back to see Spike panting. Alice's face brightened. She forgot about Vicious and the others.

"SPIKE!"

She started to run towards him.

"Alice, stop!"

Alice stopped and looked at Vicious. He looked at Spike and smirked. "Nice seeing you again, Spiegel."

Spike frowned. He took out his gun. Vicious took out his. ((A/N: I know Vicious has a katana but please bear with me! I needed to give him a gun!)) Spike pointed it at Vicious. "Vicious, tell me what's in the bag?" he asked.

Vicious smirked and took out the bag. He opened it and took out a small bottle. Everyone except Spike, Vicious and Lin gasped. "The Red Eye." Vicious said. "You traitor, you said it was some kind of medicine to cure cancer!" Yuna shouted.

"Shut up!" Lin shouted. Yuna fumed.

"Alice, come here!" Spike shouted holding out his hand. Alice took one step forward when Vicious shouted, "Dare you, Alice!" Alice stopped.

"Alice, come on! Ignore him!" Spike said. "Alice, remember I can control your life. I can kill you if I want!" Vicious said. Vicious quickly put the drug into his eye. His eyes became red…as red as roses…or…blood.

Spike got ready to shoot Vicious. He knew Vicious was much faster but he had to save Alice. Everything was quiet. Only the sound of waves was heard. Alice felt her heart pounding against her chest. Something was going to happen…she didn't know what but she was scared.

"ALICE! RUUUN!!!!" Spike shouted.

Alice lurched forward to run. She saw herself approaching Spike fast. She closed her eyes and heard the sound of two gunshots fired at once. She collided with him. She opened her eyes and looked up. Spike smiled and suddenly fell to the ground. Alice knelt over him.

"Spike!"

Spike's shirt was covered with blood…dark red blood… "Spike?" Alice called him. Spike opened his eyes. He smiled. "Alice?" Alice looked at him teary eyed.

"Spike, don't die, Spike. Please!" she said sobbing. Tears fell down her cheeks and mingled with the blood on his shirt.

Spike cupped her cheek with his hand. "Alice, I don't think I can live…"

"NO!! You will not die! You promised me. You promised me that we'll lead happy lives. I want to live a happy life, Spike. I can only live a happy life with you, Spike. Please, Spike. I don't care where we live but as long as you're with me, I'm happy." Alice said taking Spike's hand in hers. Suddenly the sky turned darker and after a few seconds they heard the pitter patter of rain drops.

"Alice, I wanted to tell you something." Spike said. Alice nodded and clutched his hand tightly. The rain drops mingled with her tears and his blood.

"Yes, tell me, Spike."

"Alice, Aishiteru."

Alice's eyes widened. Spike smiled as he said this and slowly slowly closed his eyes. Alice brought his hand to her lips and kissed it.

"Aishiteru yo Spike." She whispered. She put her hand to his cheek and slowly she felt dizzy. She put her head on his chest gingerly and her eyes closed out of fatigue. A smile graced her lips as she drifted into an eternal sleep.
