Buffy and Spike sat at a table in a corner. There was some serious explaining to do. "What are you?" Spike asked once again.

"Capricorn on the cusp of Aquarius. You?" Buffy replied.

"I meant, who are you?"

Buffy sighed, "I'm the Slayer. You know, 'Into ever generation a girl is born. One who will fight the forces of darkness blah blah blah.'" Spike nodded. "What about you?" she asked.

"I'm a Daywalker."

"A what?"

"Half human, half vampire. My mother was turned while in labor with me. I have all their strengths but none of they're weaknesses. Besides, my mom was the current Slayer."

Buffy was amazed, she had no idea that a Slayer had a kid, "Answer me this. You play lead guitar and sing lead in a band And pretty good looking." Spike smiled. "So why aren't you popular?"

"First off, you forgot athletic." Buffy giggled. "And to answer your question, I used to live in L.A, well, I got kicked out of Hemery High for burning down the school gym. I moved here and I was popular. But word got round that I burned down the gym and after accidentally attacking Cordelia and Angel, I was an outcast." Spike took a drink of his soda, "Then I found out some interesting things.

"Number one, Anya's an ex-demon. Two, Tara's a witch. Three, Oz and Veruca are werewolves. And four, we live on top of a Hellmouth."

Buffy's eyes widened, "We live on a Hellmouth? Not another one."

"Another one?"

"I lived in Cleveland before Beverly Hills. I shut that one down."

Spike looked amazed, "Wow."

Xander, Devon, and Oz came up. "Spike, it's time for the second set." Oz said.

"Okay." Spike stood, "I'll see you later." He grabbed her hand, kissed it, and walked towards the stage.

Buffy sighed and walked back to the girls. Anya looked at her, "So you're the Slayer."

"Yep." Buffy sat down.

Spike stepped up to the mike, "For our next song, we're gonna play Grow Up."

This is who I am, and this is what I like:
GC, Sum and Blink and MxPx is rockin' my room
If you're looking for me, I'll at the show
I can never find a better place to go
Until the day I die, I promise I won't change
So you better give up

I don't wanna be told to grow up
and I don't wanna change
I just wanna have fun
I don't wanna be told to grow up
And I don't wanna change
So you better give up
Cause I'm not gonna change
I don't wanna grow up

I like to stay up and spend hours on the phone
hanging out with all my friends
and never being at home
I feel polite and I make fun of everyone
Immature, but I will stay this way forever
until the day I die, I promise I won't change
So you better give up

I don't wanna be told to grow up
and I don't wanna change
I just wanna have fun
I don't wanna be told to grow up
And I don't wanna change
So you better give up
Cause I'm not gonna change
I don't wanna grow up

I don't wanna be told to grow up
(grow up)
(grow up)
I don't wanna be told to grow up
(grow up)
(grow up)

I don't wanna be told to grow up
and I don't wanna change
I just wanna have fun
I don't wanna be told to grow up
And I don't wanna change
So you better give up

I don't wanna be told to grow up
and I don't wanna change
I just wanna have fun
I don't wanna be told to grow up
And I don't wanna change
So you better give up
Cause I'm not gonna change
I don't wanna grow up

Cause I don't wanna change
I don't wanna grow up

During the song, Anya, Tara, Veruca, and Kendra all saw the way Spike was looking at Buffy and smiled. It had been a long time since he looked at a girl like that. The last time he did, he had to stake her. Buffy turned and looked at the other four and pointed at Veruca, "So you and Oz are together." Then Anya, "You and Xander." Then at Kendra, "You and Devon."

Veruca smiled, "Wow, a hundred percent."

"W-what about you t-two?" Tara asked.

"Well, I'm gay." Willow smiled at Tara.

"And I'm single. But I do like someone." Buffy blushed. She shook her head, "So what's Spike's story? Relationship wise?"

"He's single." Anya answered.

The Dingoes finished their song and the crowd cheered and whistled. "Our final song is one I wrote after a girl broke my heart. Here it is, My Immortal."

I'm so tired of being here

Suppressed by all my childish fears

And if you have to leave

I wish that you would just leave

Cause your presence still lingers here

And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal

This pain is just too real

There's just too much that time can not erase

When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears

When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears

And I held your hand through all of these years

But you still have all of me

You used to captivate me by your resonating light

Now I'm bound by the life you left behind

Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams

Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal

This pain is just too real

There's just too much that time can not erase

Willow looked at Tara, "Would you like to dance?"

"Sure." The two women walked over to the dance floor.

When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears

When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears

And I held your hand through all of these years

But you still have all of me

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone

But though you're still with me

I've been alone all along

When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears

When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears

I held your hand through all of these years

But you still have all of me

The song ended and Tara and Willow, plus the five guys headed back to the table. Buffy smiled and stood, "I hate to jam out and run, but the cemeteries are calling my name. Willow, stay as long as you want. I'll leave the car."

"You'll need someone with you. These cemeteries have a vamp overflow." Xander pointed out.

"Spike, you go. We'll put up." Devon offered.

Spike stood up, "Okay. I'll go. I'll drive."

Buffy grabbed her bag, "Alright, let's go."


Buffy and Spike walked out of the club and over to Spike's motorcycle. Buffy stopped, "We're taking that?"

Spike hopped on, "Yeah."

She opened her bag and pulled out a pair of black jeans, "Close your eyes." She hoisted her skirt up, slid on the jeans, buttoned and zipped them, and slid off her skirt. "Okay, I'm ready."

Spike opened his eyes, "That was fast." He scooted up on the cycle, "Get on." Buffy got on, but didn't hold on. Spike looked at her sideways, "You have to hold on to me…unless you want to fall off." Buffy put her arms around his waist and laid her head on his back. Spike revved up the cycle and sped off.
