Author's note: the morning song Spike sings to David in here, I give credit to myself for that one. Called my friend one morning and got his voicemail, so I made up a morning song…he saved it on his phone, I'm very proud that I made it that far into an actual song, lol.

The next morning was the beginning of the week, Spike walked around his room for a while; it must have been about 5am since it was still pretty dark out. He was always an early bird, waking everyone else up was one of his favourite activities. For now though he just wandered about his room, putting clothes away and picking up.

"Oh it's morning…" he made up a random song as he cleaned up a bit, "Monday morning… hate Monday's… becausetheresawholeweekahead…" he rather blurted out the last bit since he couldn't fit it into his little tune correctly, "Means I have to go to woooooork!" he smiled to himself has he looked at his ties, he felt like being a bit more professional today.

"Monday mornings suck…" he heard Buffy stir in her sleep and smiled. Slowly he approached the bed, "But… if I go to work I get to see my girl…" he crawled across the bed and nuzzled Buffy's shoulder, "She's stunning and everything I could have hoped for…"

Buffy's eye's opened and she rolled over, wrapping an arm around Spike's bare shoulders, "Beautiful…" Spike placed a kiss on Buffy's shoulder, "Beautiful…" he kissed her neck, "Beautiful girl…" he kissed Buffy soft and she sighed happily. "Morning, goldilocks…"

Buffy giggled a little, "This must be the best way to wake up… sexy rock star boyfriend singing about me in his boxers…"

"Brilliant isn't it?" he gave one more kiss before hopping off the bed. "Oh my it's almost 5:30am…" Buffy looked at the clock in disbelief. Spike continued talking, "My my… that's much too late for everyone to be asleep!"

Buffy yawned and stood up, quickly slipping on her clothes from the day before. Spike put on a pair of pyjama pants and ran out of the room. Buffy of course followed him, God only knows what he's up too… she laughed as he ran through the hall and into David's room.

Spike nearly kicked the door off of the hinges and jumped onto David's bed. He started to make up another song as he jumped up and down,

Its morning, its morning,

Get up, get up, get out of bed,

Good morning, good morning,

Wake up you sleepy head

He was having trouble thinking of much else, "You gotta get moving…or…the bed bugs are…gonna come and…bite your toenails…" okay he was seriously running out of ideas, "and mangle your nose hairs…" he drew a blank at this point, "and... shoes…"

Buffy stood in the doorway giggling at Spike's failed song, he still jumped up and down, and David finally gave in, "ALL RIGHT!" he sat up and put his legs over the side of the bed, "I'm getting up you short little prick…"

Spike smiled and hopped off the bed, and went into his room. David soon followed passing by Buffy, "Morning…" He grumbled as he went into Spike's room and flopped down into the couch, "Sock'em Boppers this morning?" David said as he reached over the arm of the couch and grabbed one of the deflated punching gloves. Buffy walked in, it's so much more fun just watching them.

Spike grabbed an old sling shot from his desk, "I was think something more vulgar…" he ran down the stairs causing David to groan as he followed Spike. They ended up in the kitchen and Spike was rummaging through the fridge, and started filling one of his pockets with cherries. He chuckled evilly and left the kitchen, leaving Buffy and David on their own. They followed him as he quietly made his way to Nick and Holly's room.

Quietly as possible Spike opened their door and loaded the sling shot with a cherry. His tongue peeked out of his mouth slightly as he concentrated on his aim. Finally he released the cherry and giggled as it hit Nick on his eyebrow.

Nick just sat up suddenly and looked around, "Bollocks…" he said as he rubbed his brow. "The fuck was that?" He whispered

All the lights were off except in the kitchen, Spike's still had about 5 minutes of reasonable darkness. He quickly loaded the sling shot again and let it go, this time nailing Nick in the lip; the cherry pit ricocheted and landed on Holly. "Fuck…" Nick said in the darkness and looked around.

Spike bit his lip for a moment and reloaded the sling-shot, this time hitting Nick in the arm. Now Holly was awake, she sat up in bed and grabbed Nicks arm, "What's wrong, baby?" She said in a sleepy voice.

David and Buffy both covered their mouths to stop form laughing. Buffy saw just how bright it was starting to get and grabbed David's arm and pulled him away so neither of their silhouette's showed. Spike looked out the window and cursed to himself. Quickly he reloaded the sling shot and shot it once more, nailing Nick in the forehead.

Spike grabbed Buffy and pulled him close to him, then whispered, "Go… get in the car… I'll be out in a couple…" Buffy nodded and went out the front door and hopped in the car.

Spike and David snuck back upstairs, David going back into his room and Spike grabbing his clothes for the day. He ran downstairs just as Holly was coming out of her room to confront him, "Ah… sorry have work…" he hopped over the banister of the stairs and ran out the front door. Holly just sighed and went back to help Nick clean up their bed.

"How can you do that stuff to your friends all the time?" Buffy asked in a curious tone, she had no idea where they were going at the moment, Don't really care…

Spike shrugged, "They think it's funny… and they do stuff like that to me all the time… plus I'm an idiot." He said in a matter-of-fact tone, "They don't have to make fun of me that much… I pretty much take care of it all myself…" he smiled.

"Like getting your hand stuck in a vase?" Buffy laughed.

"See?" Spike smiled, "Oh so ya know, figured we'd crash at your house until school came about…"

Buffy nodded as they started driving through her neighbourhood.

Buffy unlocked the front door of her house and walked in. She watched Spike go and sit on the couch and realized just how routine their sneaking around had become. "God it's only 6:15…" Buffy said as she took a seat next to him.

He leaned over and started kissing and nibbling on Buffy's neck, she giggled and pushed him away, "I'm going to take a shower…"

Spike nodded and watched her go up the stairs. He sighed happily, "Gonna marry that girl…"
