Author's Chapter Notes:
The summary kinda sucks, but you guys get the idea. Enjoy! Disclaimer in full effect.
Spike tossed his bag in his room and headed down the stairs. He could hear his uncle in the kitchen making tea. Spike sauntered in and sat down on one of the stools. “So have you talked to my mum lately?”

Giles turned to his nephew and placed a cup of tea in front of him. “As a matter of fact I have William, she was rather disappointed that you haven’t called her lately,” he replied giving him a pointed look.

“Well it’s not like I can exactly afford to call out of country all the time,” he said defensively.

“Well, maybe we can find you some of those prepaid calling cards so you don’t have to worry about a phone bill, and you can be sure to call your mother while you’re here,” Giles suggested. His sister, Anne, could be a bit over protective of her son from time to time, but since her ex-husband left her all she had was William.

Spike rolled his eyes and took a sip of tea. “Fine I’ll call my mum later. I swear you two act like I’m a bloody five year old,” he said tersely as he crossed his arms over his chest

Giles chuckled and looked at Spike over the edge of his glasses. “I can’t imagine why,” he replied sarcastically. Spike shot him a dirty look. Giles shook his head at his errant nephew and changed the subject. “So the young woman you brought with you, you say she’s your roommate?” he asked speculation evident on his voice.

Spike gave his uncle a knowing look. “Yes, but we’re just flat mates, so don’t go getting any ideas.”

“Just asking that’s all,” he said holding his hands up in surrender. “So what are your plans while in Sunnydale?”

“Don’t know. I think Red is taking Buffy to have a look around Sunnydale this afternoon and then I figured we would just play it by ear for the next few days,” he said noncommittally.

“Will Willow be joining us for dinner tomorrow evening?”

“I think she has to eat with her parents but you can ask her when she comes by for Buffy.” Spike heard footsteps coming down the stairs. “Buffy Luv we’re in the kitchen,” he called out to her.

Buffy breezed into the kitchen and sat on the stool next to Spike. “Sorry it took me so long, I guess I packed more than I thought,” she admitted sheepishly.

Spike raised a brow at her. “You think? I damn near broke my back trying to get it up the stairs,” he teased her.

Buffy smacked his arm playfully. “Hey I didn’t pack that much, and who’s the one that showed me how to do that whole plan-for-the-day thing, huh?” she asked indignantly.

“Well I never said plan three bleeding outfits for each day now did I,” he retorted defensively.

Giles watched as the two blondes in his kitchen bantered back and forth. There was no denying the chemistry between these two. With a knowing grin he sipped at his tea. It was only a matter of time before they realized that they were more than just roommates. Hearing a knock at the door, he excused himself. “Let me just go see who that is.” He answered the door brightly and smiled. “Willow please come in,” he greeted cheerfully as he stepped aside to let her in.

Willow walked in the house and felt as if she was home. This house held so many memories. Breathing in the familiar smell of Earl grey tea and something that was distinctly Giles, she beamed at the British man she considered family. “Giles it seems like forever,” she gushed as she gave him a big hug.

Giles pulled away. “Come now, let us have a look at you,” he said as he studied her. “”My Lord you’re all grown up, I must say you become quite a beautiful young woman,” he commented.

Willow blushed. “Well the last time you saw me I was still that goofy girl wearing fuzzy sweaters.”

“Quite right you are. It’s been far too long,” he confessed. Giles smiled at the young red head before him as he asked, “So will you be joining us for dinner tomorrow?”

“What time are you guys planning to have dinner?” Willow asked curiously

“I was thinking around three o’clock.”

“Sounds great! My parents always eat late so it shouldn’t be a problem.”

“Splendid. Buffy and Spike are in the kitchen so lets go have a see what those two are up to,” he said as he ushered Willow to the kitchen.

Willow and Giles walked in the kitchen to find the two blondes still bickering back and forth. Giles leaned in close to Willow and asked, “Do they ever quit?” Willow shook her head and grinned. “Nope. Not as long as their awake and in the same room.”

Buffy and Spike turned to look at Willow and Giles. They had been so caught up in their ‘discussion’ that they never heard them come in the kitchen. Buffy turned to Willow. “Hey Wills,” she chirped. “I thought you were gonna call?”

“Well, I decided to take a walk and figured I would just go ahead and come on over,” Willow explained.

“Well let me grab my coat and we can head out.” Turning to Spike Buffy asked, “Are you coming with us?”

“Nah, you birds head out. I’m gonna give me mum a ring and take a nap, but if you guys want we can do something tonight.”

Willow looked to Buffy. “Sounds good to me, maybe we can go Bronzing tonight, I notice it was still in business on my way here,” she suggested.

Buffy wrinkled her brow. “What is that like some sort of tanning?”
Spike and Willow both started laughing. “No the ‘Bronze’ is a little night club Red and I used to go to all the time. It’s not much compared to some of the clubs in LA, but they have pool and live bands,” Spike explained

Buffy scowled at both of them. “Ha, ha, that’s right, laugh at poor Buffy,” she said sarcastically.

Willow put her arm around her friends shoulder and led her out the kitchen. “Come on, I’ll fill you in on all the local trivia.”

Spike and Giles followed the two girls to the door. Buffy and Willow turned to the men and said their goodbyes.

“We’ll be back in a couple of hours. Then we can all go grab something to eat,” Willow told Spike as she and Buffy walked out the door.

“You two stay out of trouble. I don’t want Sunnydale’s finest knocking on my door, you here?” Spike teased.

Buffy and Willow just shook their heads and waved goodbye as they headed towards Main Street.
