Author's Note: Yes I know Buffy's birthday was in January… but I have always thought of her birthday as more of a summer birthday! And the rings their wearing are only promise rings… but I proposal might be on the way…
Anyways, I'm sorry it took so long to put out another chapter… and all I gave you guys was this wimpy little chapter… one that I'm not very happy with… but I had major writer's block… but I think after throwing 6 chapter's at you guys, I'm a little tuckered out… hopefully my creativity will pick up soon!
After Spike had departed it was just Buffy and her mom. They were together in the kitchen cleaning up, "So…" Joyce began, "How did it all… start?"
Buffy took a deep breath, "One very scary pelvis…" Joyce gave Buffy a strange look, "Just don't ask…"
Joyce nodded and continued washing dishes, "You're very lucky… you have a one in a million man there…"
"He's a lot stupider than he seems… like having a small dog... but with less fur." Buffy laughed a little, as did Joyce.
Spike got home feeling like the happiest man on the earth. It was raining outside so once he pulled into the drive way and ran out of the car and started playing in puddles. Both David and Nick stood in the windows and watched Spike dance around in the rain and get soaking wet. He slid across the hood of his car and got his boots all muddy.
"Now that looks like fun…" Nick said.
"No." Was all Holly said from the couch; in translation this would mean, You go out there and I'll cut your penis off.
Nick and David looked at each other for a moment then ran outside to join Spike. Nick jumped in a puddle while David just stood to the side letting the rain get him wet, "What are we dancin' in the rain for?" he asked as he began shivering already being as skinny as he was.
"Buffy's mum caught us in bed…" Spike said with a big smile on his face as he kicked some water in Nick's direction.
David shielded his eye's from Nick's kick of water, "That's good?"
"Yeh! She said we could be together!" Spike did a cartwheel that failed miserably and he ended up getting all muddy. Not like he cared much, he just stood up and continued, "And we had dinner and I think her mum likes me…" he babbled on.
David took a step forward and started to slip, he caught himself though and only got his hands dirty, so he wiped them on Spike. Spike finally stopped talking and glared for a moment, then took a handful of mud and smashed in into David's face. Nick started laughing which ended up being the wrong choice since both David and Spike turned on him.
Holly frowned as she watched the three men started chucking globs of mud at each other. "I hate them all…"
Buffy was laying across her bed, bored out of her mind, Stupid mom and stupid rules… her cell phone started ringing. She picked it up, "Hello?"
"Buffy! You have to turn on the television. Ellen is on and they're re-airing the episode with Falling Down To Summerset!" Willow said through the phone.
Buffy smiled, she never had a chance to see that, Wish I had been there when Spike was talking to her… "Okay… just a second…" she hopped off of her bed and ran down stairs. She grabbed the remote and turned the TV to one of the local channels.
"Well… we have a phone number here…" Ellen said as she held up a small piece of paper. The episode had aired sometime after Christmas, "It's for one of my favourite bands…" she picked up the phone, "Falling Down To Summerset…" her audience started cheering, "And if you looks under your chairs there's a CD with their greatest hits." The audience cheered again.
She started dialling the number, "5…." She pressed a few more buttons, "3…" once she was finished the ringing from the phone could be heard over the speakers. There was a long long wait until someone finally picked up.
"Hello?" it was Holly.
"Hello?" Ellen said, "Is uh- Spike there?" Ellen looked very confused, "Is this the number for Falling Down To Summerset?"
Holly sighed through the phone, "SPIIIIIKE!" Ellen cringed, and a very faint voice could be heard, "Ellen is on the phone… hold on…"
There was a bit more silence then a click as Spike switch the phone to his office, "Yellow?" he said, his phone was on speaker.
"Spike?" Ellen said, "It's more difficult than you'd think to call you…"
Spike chuckled a bit, "Yeah, I avoid phone's…"
"Ya… is ummm… the rest of your crew with you?"
"We aren't a crew… we're a force… The Force That Makes No Difference… Fear us..."
"Because we put out no effort…" Nick said in the back ground. Buffy pictured where they must have been sitting. Spike was obviously in his chair, Nick on the couch… David was probably on the arm of the couch.
"So how has your guy's vacation been?" Ellen asked, and chance you'll be returning sooner than expected?"
"Hell no! Are *beep*ing crazy? We've had so much time on our hands, it's brilliant!" David exclaimed.
Ellen laughed, "So you guys having any luck with your love life? I know that was one of the reason's you guys wanted your vacation…"
Nick groaned and Spike spoke for him, "Nick's been taken for a while as everyone knows. And I think David might be gay…" there was a loud crash, then the sound of someone scrambling about.
Nick took Spike's seat by the phone, "Sorry technical difficulties, once David is finished castrating Spike we can continue this…" Holly's voice could be heard, "Okay their done, and I have to go. Love you Ellen…"
"Oh, okay then, Nick…" Ellen said looking rather confused.
Spike returned to the phone, "And I still have all my bits in place…"
"I'm hungry…" David said and they door was heard as it closed.
"Just you and me now, Ellen…" Spike's voice rumbled through the phone.
"Oh wow…" Ellen blushed slightly, "Umm, what about you and your love life, Spike?"
"I have a girl…" he said plainly, hoping the question would blow over.
"Okay…" Ellen tried to pry in a bit more, "What's her name?"
"That's confidential…"
Ellen looked surprised, "How old is she?"
"That's confidential…" Spike repeated himself.
"What colour is her hair?"
"That's confidential…"
"Her shoes size?"
"Confidential."
Ellen laughed a little, "So we can't know anything about her?"
"She's wonderful and I'm going to marry her one day. How about your love life, Ellen?"
Once again Ellen was surprised, "Oh well I'm fine… I'm married…"
"I know… we were there, our gift was to be your band for the wedding." Spike said chuckling slightly.
"Oh was that you guys? I'm just so forgetful…" Ellen smiled, and looked to her right, "Well I'm being told we're pushing the time here…"
"Well first I believe one of your intern's has a present from us…" Ellen started looking around as one of the intern's came out with a long bike that had four seats. Ellen started laughing, "After the vacation you me and the boys will have to go out for a ride."
Ellen was speechless as she was laughing so hard and tried to inspect the bike, "I don't even know how to ride one of these things…"
"Oh their a lot harder than you'd think… we have one here at the house…"
Ellen finally caught her breath, "Oh wow! Well thank you! And…" she paused listening to someone, "Alright well we're gonna let you go Spike…"
"Okay Ellen..."
Buffy was laughing with Willow, "I never saw that when it first aired…"
Willow was laughing as well, "I miss them!"
Buffy smiled, "Yeah… me too… but I have to go… I'll talk to you later…" Willow said goodbye and Buffy hung up. She suddenly felt really lonely, Spike wasn't there and he was all she really wanted.
