Though Spike and Buffy made it up stairs, they didn't get very far as far as the sex would go. Instead they had made it out to his roof and sat outside in the dark together. Spike's home was so far out from the town that stars were everywhere to be seen. He had grabbed a big blanket and the two climbed out together. They sat atop the house cuddle together beneath a blanket, Buffy stared up at the stars and Spike was left staring at her.

This seemed to be a habit of his, staring, just watching… watching her eat, watching her sleep, or work when they were in school. Everything she did it was with some elegance that was purely her own. He smiled and leaned in nibbling lightly along the column of Buffy's neck, obviously his favourite place to nibble on.

Buffy smiled and leaned in, "It's beautiful out here…" she said enjoying the love bites he was leaving along her neck.

Spike kissed up to her ear, "It's alright but I know something that's even more beautiful…" He smiled meeting Buffy's eye's in a soft gaze as their foreheads lay together.

A rock flew up and nailed Spike in the temple, he looked around, "Oi!" He saw Nick and David had returned with Holly. Spike frowned and looked at Buffy, "We have to get you home, my love…" Buffy nodded and they both went inside.

Riley and Angel travelled the streets of Sunnydale in Riley's Jeep, both were a bit drunk and Riley was still fuming about mystery-man. He figured he'd always be angry about it, they stopped at a light, and it was merely them and some car in front while they waited in the turn lane.

Riley took a moment to get a real good look at the car and realized it contained Buffy and her guy. "That's them…" He said in a low voice. He revved the engine some fully intending to ram into the car in front of them.

Angel could practically hear the idea flow out of Riley's head, "Whoa, dude… C'mon can't we just let them-" Before Angel could finish the sentence though Riley released the break and slammed into the car in front of him.

"Another wonderful evening…" Spike said smiling at Buffy as they sat at a stop light. The car behind them revved slightly but he ignored it. Buffy looked up and smiled but as she began to speak there was a crash and the sound of crushed metal.

Buffy slammed forward; Spike's face met the steering wheel and caused the car to emanate a long honk as it rolled slowly. It took a minute before Spike was even slightly coherent, the first thing he said though was, "Buffy?" He looked around and saw Buffy next to him, she was sitting back in her seat, her belt had kept her fastened, but she was silent. "Buffy!" He quickly undid the bottom strap of his belt, since that was all that was left, and reached over.

"Buffy? Baby?" He turned her face, "C'mon my love, babe?" She was silent and he checked her pulse, it was steady, her breathing was lightly shallow, the crashed must have knocked her just right. Quickly he got out of the car, not even glancing at who had bashed into them. He went around to the passenger's side and opened the door, undid her belt and slowly pulled Buffy out.

He sat down on along the side of the car holding her in his arms, "C'mon darling, it was just a bump, and I need to know you're alright…" The crash had pushed their car out to the centre of the intersection and there Spike sat holding his fiancé as he begged her unconscious body to wake up.

If Angel had the chance he would have stopped Riley's rage right there, but he didn't get two words in as they flew into the back of Mystery-man's car. "Shit Riley! What the hell did you do?"

Riley looked up, realizing what he did, and watched in shock as the car rolled slowly out to the intersection. It stopped and both of the boys were silent as they waited for some movement. There was nothing, "Oh shit man… What did I do?" Angel got out of the car and slowly approached the car; suddenly a man jumped out of the driver's side and ran around to pull the passenger out.

Riley and Angel walked slowly around; both scared to death of what reality would hit them with. "Mr. Pratt!" Riley said seeing Mystery-man's true identity.

Spike looked up, the fact they knew who he was the last thing on his mind. He laid Buffy down and stood up, Rage flowing through him, "You pathetic son of a bitch!" Spike snatched the lapels of Riley's shirt and pulled the boy down to his level, smelling th alcohol on his breath, "I should beat the fucking shit out of you, you pathetic excuse for a man!" He let go of him and sent a fist right into the boys jaw.

Riley fell back and looked up at the man, he was scared for his life, it was clear he had come between a passionate love and he regretted it.

"William…" There was a soft voice from the side of the car, and Spike's attention immediately turned to his love. Quickly he went to her and scooped her up, "Hey…" She said quietly, "My torso hurts…"

"It's alright, luv, we're alright." Buffy sat up slightly, and Spike took the opportunity to give her a kiss, "We're alright…"

Buffy nodded and slowly sat up, and looked up seeing Riley on the ground, bleeding from the mouth, and Angel, mouth open in complete shock. "Angel? Riley?" She started to stand up and Spike quickly helped her.

"It's alright; they aren't going to say anything about this…" Riley gave him a strange look, "They're going to forget about this because if these boys breathe a word, I'll press charges and send them both to jail for drunk driving and attempted murder…"

Riley stood up and nodded understanding, "Yeah… I guess this never happened…"

Spike looked at them, "No it didn't… and you know nothing about Buffy and I… anybody asks you had a bad score with a poll…"

They boys nodded and looked up as the red light turned green for the fourth time since this began. In silence the two teenagers climbed into Riley's jeep and took off for home. Buffy and Spike spent a couple minutes hugging each other close, Buffy looked up feeling something wet on her cheek, "Honey?"

Spike wiped away a tear, "Sorry just… thought I lost you baby…" He looked down smiling with adoration, "You scared me, my love…"

They both climbed into the car and continued to take Buffy home.
