Joyce stepped out of her Explorer and froze as she saw the scene in Spike's car. Her daughter was straddling him and he had his hands up the back of her shirt. Joyce smiled, remembering when her mother caught her and Hank in the same position. She tapped on the window, "Hi honey. I'm home."

Buffy sat in the living room alone with her mom. After getting caught, Spike said he'd come over later and they'd patrol. "So," Joyce began, "are you and William an official couple now?"

Buffy nodded, "Yeah."

Joyce smiled, "You stayed the night with him, didn't you?" It was more of a statement than a question.

Buffy's face reddened, "Yeah. You're not mad, are you?"

"No. When your father and I started dating, I used to sneak over to his house." Buffy looked relieved. "Just be careful and use protection."

Buffy's eyes widened, "MOM!" They both started laughing. "So, can I stay with Spike tonight?" Joyce nodded. "Oh thank you!" Buffy hugged her mom.

Willow entered the house, "Hey guys."

Buffy saw the look on her sister's face, "What happened?"

Willow sat in between her mom and sister, "Kennedy and I broke up."

"Why?" Joyce asked.

"Well…" Willow began.

Earlier That Day

Willow and Kennedy were sitting in the commons talking when Tara came up to them. Willow smiled, "Hi Tara."

"H-hi W-willow."

Kennedy rolled her eyes, "What do you want, cretin?"

"I-I w-wanted t-to…"

"Are you going to get that sentence out today?" Kennedy spat.

Willow stood up, "Kennedy! That's enough!"

Kennedy also stood, "What's your trauma?"

"My 'trauma' is that you're being a total bitch."

"This is the way things are."

"Well, then I don't want to be with you."

"Are you saying it's over?"

"Did she stutter?" Tara snapped. Willow looked at her and smiled.

"Come on Tara, let's go." With that, Tara and Willow walked off.

Present Time

"Wow. Tara actually stood up for herself." Buffy said. Then she realized something, "Oh my god. You're the one."

"One what?" Willow asked.

"The one Tara wants to ask to the Halloween Dance." Buffy replied.

"Really? That's cool."

The phone rand and Joyce answered, "Hello?"-"Yes, William, she's here."-"Here she is."

Buffy took the phone and walked up to her room and closed the door, "Hey."

"Hey." Spike replied. "Did you get in trouble?"

"No. mom just said to be careful and use protection."

Spike chuckled, "Well then."

"So, what's up?"

"We've had a change of plans love."

Buffy stood and started flipping through her closet, "Oh. And what are they now?"

"We're going to the football game."

Buffy placed the leather mini skirt with matching vest back in the closet, "Why?"

"To commit acts of wrongness. And I have to turn in a sports article for the school paper."

"Is wrongness even a word?"

"I don't know. But, the guys are yelling at me. We'll all meet at the high school."

"Okay. See you later."

"Bye."

"Bye." Buffy hung up and walked downstairs. "Here ya go." she handed the phone to her mom. "Wills. Do you want to go ot the football game with me?"

"I don't think so."

"Tara'll be there."

A grin spread across Willow's face, "Okay!"
