Buffy, Spike and Dawn are all waiting for the social worker to arrive. They got word that it will be a new social worker.
A few minutes later the social worker arrives.
"Hi I'm Kathy Hunter."
"Hi I'm Buffy and this is my sister Dawn."
"Hello Dawn."
"Hi." Dawn replies
"I'm Spike."
"Spike" asks Ms. Hunter
"His name is William, but everyone just calls him Spike."
"Okay so lets get started." she says as they all sit
"Dawn how are you doing in school. You used to get grades below a B now your getting A's and B's what changed."
"Buffy and Spike did. They told me that they knew I could do better in school. So I started studying and found it to be easy and love it."
"What about after school."
"I head home and Spike is there waiting for me to do my HW and sometimes I head to the magic box and do my HW there with Tara or Anya."
"So Ms. Summers how is your job and I would like to know about the people that are around Dawn."
"Yes I work at Dennys as a server and it is going great. As for the people that are around Dawn lot there is Rupert Giles. He was born in England. He used to work for a company England, but no longer works for them. There are my two friends from high school Willow Rosenberg and Xander Harris. Willow goes to school at the local college, but is taking a semester off. Xander works with the local construction company. They are taking
a vacation in England with Giles right now. There is Tara who is a college student and lives here for the time being. There is Anya who is Xander ex. She helps Giles run the magic shop that he owns."
A fer seconds pass before she finishes her writing and starts questioning Spike.
"So Spike where did you grow up."
"In a nice town in England."
"What is your family like."
"There is only me left. Our family was into the family business. My father died of a heart attack. My older sister was killed by a drunk driver she was eighteen and on her way to college. My younger sister was twelve when she died while ice skating on the ice. The ice broke and she fell through. My younger brother died of SIDS. My mother died five years ago of cancer."
"I'm sorry."
"It's alright. It has taught me to live life to it's fullest."
"What do you do for a job"
"I don't have one. I came from a wealthy family and live off that. I help out a Willies bar from time to time. I also write in my free time to make money off that in the future, but I have money in the stocks also. So I am doing pretty well that I can already retire."
"How do you help out around the house."
"I help with the bills. I make sure that nibblet does her homework and do well in school so that she can go to a good college and get an education. I do some chores around the house. I also make sure that Dawn doesn't sneak out.
"How do you act around Dawn."
"He is an overprotective brother, but also a best-friend." Dawn supplies
"What about her boyfriends."
"I don't have a boyfriend yet."
"I'll have to approve of them."
"The bloody hell your are love. I'm gonna turn nibblet into a nun. The only men allowed in her life is me and god."
Buffy and Dawn turn their heads to look at Spike like he is crazy.
"There are no perfect guys out there for my nibblet." he tells them
Buffy just looks at Spike and raises her eyebrow.
"Then what are you William."
"I'm a bad bad man." he says with a smirk
"No you aren't Spike mom loved you."
"Okay so mum had good taste and I'm good. There may be a couple good guys out there, but she still not dating."
Buffy and Dawn look at each other and smirk. Then they look at Spike with the puppy dog eyes.
"Not the eyes. Please not the eyes. Joyce warned me about those. I mean come on Buffy she's bloody sixteen years old. That is way to young to date." still receiving the eyes Spike gets an idea.
"Okay she can date"
However before they can celebrate Spike finishes off his sentence.
"After I die."
Dawn and Buffy look at him like hes crazy, but Buffy s smiling and if you were to look at the social worker so does she.
Another hour passes by before the social worker takes her leave.
"After you die." asks Dawn
"You can date after I die."
"That is not fair. I'm gonna die before you do."
"I know that is why you should think about becoming a nun." Spike says as he heads out the door
Buffy and Dawn watch as he leaves the house."
"Buffy aren't you gonna do anything about that."
"He's lying you know that. He just hates that your growing up to fast."
"I'm not even that old though. I was created remember."
"Maybe, but to me, mom, Spike, Tara and Anya you are real."
"Do you remember when you first met Spike."
"Yes." Dawn replies
"What happened."
"It was when Xander was possessed by the Hyenas. You told me not to go out that it wasn't safe. I am not sure if this was before or after he tried to rape you. I snuck out anyway to go to Janice house, but they started chasing me. I crashed into Spike and he saved me. I asked him if he could take me home. We talked."
"I came home and you were safe. I searched for you and so did mom. I came home and found Spike and mom having hot chocolate. You know what he told me as he left. He told me that you and mom were off limits, but I wasn't that he wanted another slayer."
"He loves us."
"Yeah which is why you dating is upsetting him. He still sees you as that little girl he saved, but your forgetting one important thing."
"We have him under our thumb."
"Yeah Dawnie. Now come on lets go shopping."
Buffy and Dawn leave the house and go shopping. It's just to bad that don't know about the cameras or the two people that saw the entire meeting. If they did they could of prevented Willow from making a phone call.
"ANGEL INVESTIGATIONS WE HELP THE HELPLESS ANGEL SPEAKING."
"Hey Angel it's Willow. I need to talk you about Buffy."
The next day Buffy comes into work. She has been there an hour when Eric comes in with an associate. When Buffy sees Eric come in she becomes frustrated and upset that he always seems to want to eat in her station no matter what. However she becomes pissed when she sees who has accompanied him. Having no choice she heads to the table.
"Hello Eric and Angel."
"So it is true. What are you doing here." asks Angel.
"How did you find out."
"Willow called me."
"Didn't she tell you."
"Yes, but I didn't believe her. Now what are you doing here."
"Okay Angel let me speak a language that you understand."
After a pause Buffy continues.
"This-is-Den-neys- I- work- here-so-I-can-make-M-O-N-E-Y- to-take-care-of-Dawn-and-keep-a-roof-over-our-head. Now-did-you-understand-that-or-do-I-need-to-speak-any-slower-than-I-already-am." she asks
"I'm not stupid Buffy I understood that, but your a slayer and shouldn't be degrading yourself life this."
"The only one degrading themselves is you Angel if you honestly think I want you here. Now what would you like to eat. Eric I am guessing you want your usual."
"Yes please Buffy."
"I would ask you what you want, but unlike Spike you don't eat human food only blood, unfortunately we don't have any. Happy starving."
Angel looks upset as Buffy walks away. Buffy returns Eric drinks.
"So how are you Buffy."
"My sex life is great, but other than you sending spies like Eric here life is fantastic."
Buffy then looks at Eric and asks if Angel has erased any memories lately.
Angel looks shocked at that. Buffy then walks away to get Erics sandwich. She comes back moments later.
"You should also stay good Eric because he has a habit of killing evil lawyers even if they are human."
Angel looks shocked again. Buffy then smirks at Angel and leaves.
Angel and Eric quickly eat and leave without dessert.
Spike who was aware of Angel being in town comes to pick up Buffy and get ready for patrol.
Angel has been spying on them patrol and notices how good they are.
He also watches as Spike goes into the Summers house.
Angel stays out all night fuming while listening to the screams of Buffy and the smell of sex that comes out of a small opening in the window.
"Good night Peaches hope you enjoyed the show." yells Spike
"Don't let the sun hit you on the way home Angel."
Angel stays the whole night waiting to see if Spike comes out.
He doesn't.
Angel makes it back to his hotel before the sun shines over Sunnydale
