Author's Chapter Notes:
I don't own anything = )

But I love Spike
Spike Kingly, 28, Xander Harris, 26, Oz Green, 27, of the Tornadoes were the hottest boy band in America, and possibly even the world. Spike, was a little rough around the edges and was a British Man bred and born, so what brought him to America? The music. He was an intern in the musical arts and met Xander and Oz. He is a singer in the group.

Xander was a loyal but cool dude who could always charm the crowd with his wits. Oz is much like Spike-but only looks tough. He can play some killer electric guitar. Xander, who’s piano lessons as a toddler (paid for by his mother) paid off in the hit new band with 6 hit singles, “Who’s Loves You Now” “Don’t Freak” “Eat My Dust” “Not Meant to Be” “Two Timer” “Leave Me Alone”

Who Loves You Now

LEAD:

Saw you yesterday...

Didn’t think things would work out that way...?

Got a big temper no doubt, but I love, you, still...

(MUSIC SOLO ENTIRE BAND)

LEAD:

Fire burning from you...

Sometimes I think that you spite more then what you can lose

I’m not a toy

Just to be used

It’s true I’m angry but I’m still in love with you!

Yeah, I am

But are you

CHORUS:

Cause I saw you with another guy/girl*,

But still, I’m not gonna say good-bye!

I love you still

But who loves you now!

LEAD:

Is it that guy/girl Will/Jill (*I had to change it so that a girl could sing it too, you’ll see why soon!)

CHORUS:

But this I’ll say!

I’ve got the will,

And I love-you-still!

Yeah I love-you-still!

Don’t Freak!

LEAD:

Sure you caught me with another girl/guy,

But it’s cool, so don’t freak,

That type of girl/guy is not what I seek

LEAD:

You say go to hell, that I don’t treat you well,

CHORUS: But that’s not true!

I still love you

LEAD:

Even though I look at other girls/guys doesn’t mean I don’t like you

CHORUS:

So why don’t you chill?

Take a pill

And don’t-freak-out!

ALL:

Yeah, yeah, yeah,

Don’t freak out!

Yeah,....don’t freak out!

Eat My Dust
LEAD:

Eat my dust you loser

I’m not gonna let you treat my girl/guy this way

And if you have a problem then here’s what I’d say

CHORUS:

Eat my dust

I’m full of lust for him

LEAD:

Go away

That’s what I’d say

CHORUS:

But it would never work on you

Cause I tried...it...before!

And you came back so I don’t know what I should do...

LEAD:

Leave me a lone

CHORUS:

You act like I’m an Ice cream cone, melting in fear when you come my way!

But You’re Not all that

More scared like a cat

Treating some girl to some meal

Did you forget all about love’s will?

I did try, to keep you mine

But I see you love her more then you do me!

CHORUS: So why don’t you leave

Is there something wrong!

LEAD: Cause I’m so confused, it’s been so long

Since any one, anywhere thought about me

CHORUS: What should I do

Should I just leave you!

Guess that’s what I’ll do

Can’t say that I’m still in love with you

CHORUS: Yeah I tried, to keep you mine

But I see we’re just not meant to be

So just leave me alone and walk out of my life, I don’t feel that all this strife is really worth it

NO it’s not so leave me be

And someday soon I hope you will see

Were not meant to be

Two Timer!
Lead:

When I went shoppin’ I saw you with another girl/guy

Do you still feel we’ll never work!

CHORUS:

Cause tell me,

I need to hear, because you never see

That I need you more than him/her, I’m sure

LEAD:

Cause I stayed with you when times were rough,

Don’t you care that I love you!

LEAD:

Two Timer! Leave me be

And just leave because you just don’t seem to see

That if you keep at it like this,

You’re gonna wish you never met me

Cut to a newsstand near the Summers’ home.

Buffy, “Oh! This is perfect!” said the blonde as she held the latest paper.

Her sister, Dawn replied, “What! What! Do we have a good job find?” Her sister was so excited as the pair had been searching for good jobs since they were fired from their last one.

Buffy: Yes! This is perfect...oh; well I am kinda picky... Look Dawn, I think that I should sing I mean I sang at like, at two gigs so far, I think you should be the one at the drums because I’m the one who quit after a week of lessons...Okay, so...what do you think?”

The younger of the two had now gotten a cone of vanilla and said, “ That sounds great, what’s your color going to be?” Confused, the elder sister said, “What? We need colors now? (Looking at the paper) .... That’s not in the job description...” “you are so dumb B! EVERYONE in that band has a color!” Counting on her hand...” Oz Green has orange, Spike has black, Xander has navy blue. We sooo need a color. I call neon green!”

Buffy thinks for a while and says” Fine, I’ll go with hot pink! Its such a crazy color, in a band that’d be sweet!” The 20-year-old sister rolls her eyes as she says,” Whatever.” Dawn continues to walk, Buffy,” Wait Dawnie, I don’t HAVE any pink!” “Jeez! Let’s find the gap!” She grabs her 27 year old startled sister and pulled her into the nearest Music and clothes department.

1 hour later, the Summers reappear outside the store and rush to get home as they pile into their red mustang convertible and drive directly to their house, taking all the shortcuts they could think off.

“Okay! Timer is set to a half an hour to get ready! Our audition is scheduled for 10:00!”

The Summer Sisters zoomed upstairs with bags in their hands. 29 min Later, the sisters emerge and come to look at the other, to give advice on what’s the best to audition in.

Buffy did a circle to show off her ultra low cut hip hugger Pink Leather pants and her spaghetti strap white top with some cleavage and straps of pink with the words in pink GAP on it.

Her getup was perfectly matched with her high heeled, hot pink sandals. Her hair was cut in the fashion down to her shoulders with a bit of bangs on the left with a pink leather inch thick headband (the bangs were in front of the headband).

“What do you think Dawn? Should I change or keep it?” Said the nervous blonde. “That’s perfect!” Said Dawn in such an

Enthusiastic way that Buffy knew the sister wasn’t just saying that to be nice.

Buffy,” Now turn around and show off your outfit!” “Kay.” Dawn twirled around to show off her hip hugger neon green leather pants with a white tank top under an unsnapped leather neon green jacket.

Dawn’s shoes were fat heeled black high heeled slip on clog like heels and her extra fat leather neon green headband set it off perfectly.

Sooo what’d you think so far? Be nice, its my first ever fan fiction the site!

Please review! Maybe this story will eventually find its way into your favorites!

Sorry it’s a bit short for now, I haven’t had a chance to write more.

Bye for now! Aeropostale Fanatic! 

Part 2: Buffy...meet Spike

The Summer sisters arrived at the try out center Dawn, with drumsticks in hand and Buffy, music book at the ready. Each of the sisters had a 5-minute audition, judged by the only member of the group, Xander Harris that was available.

Xander listened to each of them perform. He thought that each of them performed well and they deserved the part but he would have to make sure.

“’ello this is Spike Kingly, who is this.”

“Yo, Captain Peroxide, I think we found our newest members!”

“Yeah, right. We have only had just about a hundred try out...so what are the guys’ names?”

“Uh, Well...about that see, we weren’t very good at the description of the part so...they’re girls.”

“Really? Well then I expect you to find some men that are better!”

“Listen, Spike, these girls are really good. Why don’t you meet them.”

“And what if I don’t want to?”

“Please Spike, just try to like them?”

“...fine! So what are their names? Not that I give a damn

“They are sisters. The younger one is 20 and-“

“Great, the chit can’t drink can she, we’ll just have to miss out on THAT!”

“Shut up Spike! Anyway, her name is Dawn and she is the drummer. Her older sister, her name is Buffy Summers.

She’s a pretty number...Anya would kill me though! (Mimicking his girlfriend) Xander how could you even think she is attractive, I am your girlfriend, got that, and I don’t think that since I handle all the bands finances you would want to do that...blah, blah, blah!”

“Xander, you never said how old...what’s her name is...Buffy.”

“Oh, right, thought you’d want to know since you ARE the only single dude in the band! Lucky dude...”

“Anyway...”

“Oh, right, she is 27. And dude, check it out, she is single.”

“I doubt I’ll like her. She probably is just some stupid annoying chit who thinks she’s a princess no doubt I’m sure. Look, my bill is going to be over the bloody roof so got to go. I’ll meet you at the Bronze in 5 minutes. Bye”

Xander tossed his cell onto the counter and practically ran into the room where the Summers sat. Startled, they jumped up, concerned of what the keyboarder might tell them as the elder of the two bravely said,” Um. So...what do you think?”

Xander raised his hands welcoming as he said; “You’re in.”

Dawn ran and hugged him-weird I know but Buffy was too stunned, “That’s it, we’re just in? ““Yeah, but don’t get all giddy, alright, we’re expected to meet the rest of the band down at the Bronze.

“The bronze?” “It’s a killer joint where Oz’s girl Willow Rosenburg works. You’ll get to see her a lot, good for you know, girl chats, cause I doubt that the rest of us want to talk about facials and make up.”

Dawn, who always take note of what everyone has been saying just says,” But what about Anya?” “My Anya? Anya Hall, worlds most out spoken person on the planet?

No, no, no...she is defiantly NOT who you should hang around. She blurts out secrets and talks about anything...and I mean anything. NO. You do NOT want to talk to her.”

Taken aback, Dawn just mumbled,” Jeez! Forget her then!”

They arrived at a hip live joint that was lit by dim lights and the music blasting on ultimate high. They spied 4 people over by the middle of the club, two female, one, a short blonde, and the second one with straight, shoulder length red hair.

The two men with them were obviously the other members of the band. As Buffy spied the one with the orangeish kind of shaggy hair That must be Oz (looking over at the red head) And that must be Willow

The blonde spotted him. The other blonde in the group. She looked at him and froze. He saw her as well. Their eyes met and his crystal blue eyes were entirely held with hers.

Oh, god. He is sooo sexy... Oh, bloody...when Xander said she was good looking, he never mentioned she was the Queen of all sexiness

“Hello Pet, I’m Spike, Spike Kingly. And who might you be?” He said this as he took her hand and kissed it.

“ B-Buffy Summer-s. Nice to meet you.”

“Pleasure is all mine, Luv. Care to have a drink?” His eyes held hers, they, unbeknownst to them, were drawing attention between the band members and their girls.

As if in a trance, she meekly replied, “That would be...nice...”

He smiled at her and said,” Be back in a moment luv.”

As he walked off, she watched him leave, as if in a dream.

Xander: (Whispering) group meeting (takes another glance at Buffy)- now! By the bar!

The group walked over to the bar and ordered drinks.

Anya: Did anybody notice the MAJOR frision here, or is it just me?

Xander: Nope, Anya, it was NOT just you.

Oz: Dude, what’re be gonna do? It could do horrible things to our band man!

Willow: We have to do something.

Anya: Like tell them horrible stuff about the other?

Willow: That’s mean.

Oz: That’s perfect!

Dawn: I don’t know about you guys, but we just left them alone, in a back corner...sound

a bit...”

Xander: You’re right, everyone, to the table, quick.

But when they got back, they didn’t have to worry. They were just talking. But their chairs were VERY close.

Buffy: That’s sooo neat! So you’ve loved music that long.

Spike: Yes pet, and I think as of right now, I just might love it a whole lot more.

Xander: So what have you two been talking about? Music? I hope that’s the only thing!

Startled, the two immediately move their chairs further a part and Buffy took a sip of her drink as the band looked at each other knowingly. –Denial. Yes. The two were denying their love of one another so the band would not suffer-too late, they know, but they don’t know that they know.

Spike: Of, Course Xander, Jeez, have you flipped your bird yank? Of course that’s all we have to talk about.

Good, they don’t love each other yet, heck, they might not even like each other... Xander thought this worriedly as he said,” Lets head back to the gob. Settle in for the night.

Spike, you take Dawn and Buffy-show them to their rooms...Oz and I’ll be there in an hour...we have to hang out with our girls you know...see you!

Buffy leapt up and grabbed her sister’s hand and said,” Okay, let’s go...”

Spike led them to his black and red convertible mustang. Buffy sat next to him, Dawn in the back. They drove and drove until they stopped at a huge, white marble decked, mansion.

Out in the front there was a fountain and there was a paved driveway with sealant on it.

“It’s beautiful...wow. I bet that just one room is a big as my whole house!” Buffy said this as she ran into the foyer and looked up at the gold ceiling.

“Dude, if I was had this before, I would buy three cars!” Dawn exclaimed as she ran up the huge staircase that had silk ribbon weave into the banister.

“That’s not all. Lets make our way up the main corridor.”

Spike said this as he took a note of Buffy’s outfit. That chick really knows how to make

A guy weak in the knees...

Buffy turned around in the hallway and said,” So, Spike. Is my room by my sister’s?”

God he is so hot.

“No, yours is by mine. If that’s okay...” Bloody better be. I hope to get you in bed by next week

Immediately, Buffy said a little overly happy,” No! No, I don’t mind. Dawn is old enough now that I don’t have to monitor her EVERY move. I’d like to see how you move though

Dawn knew this was NOT good. Sooo not good!

NEXT DAY

Buffy and Spike and Oz and Xander and Dawn had arrived late that night so it was time for unpacking in the morning. At the breakfast table...

Buffy: Could you pass the pizza-cheese.

Their eyes are held the whole time.

Xander reaches for the box, but Spike stops him.

Spike: I can handle this one, mate.

The rest of the meal all the band members were looking at the two- to see what they did.

Spike: So, Buffy. I hear you went shopping a couple days ago. Looks like you could use some help unpacking things in your room. You need help?

Buffy looks at him sweetly,” That would be nice, Spike.” really nice

Xander: let’s hope not too nice.

End of part two

Part 3 The Room, The song, the party

Buffy and Spike headed up the stairs starring at each other the whole way, Buffy in front.

Bloody, could those pants be any tighter, cripes, think I’m going to go savage beast on her

He is so hot. Oh, god he just said something to me. What’d he say? I was too busy looking at his six pack.

Spike opened Buffy’s door. They walked in and she sat down on the bed. “So, Spike. Thanks for helping me. I really needed help. There was no way I could’ve lugged all this up on my own.”

Don’t leave, don’t leave, don’t leave,... Spike sat next to her. They sat and talked.” What about your parents, Spike, what happened to them,- Dawn said something happened to them. Is that why you sing?” “Yes. I haven’t told anyone this in a long while, but my dad was a murderer, killed my mum. And left me by some old lady’s place and she didn’t like me, so I was sent to a foster home. Overtime I learned the truth of my misfortune.

So I came here to be a musician. To be honest, I was going to quit when we had to get two new members, but now that I meet you, I think you’ll be the reason I stay.” Their eyes held, in a trance. “And I think you’re the reason I’ll choose to stay.” Spike and Buffy’s heads got closer and closer until their lips locked in a huge passionate kiss that became more, hands racing, caressing... then Dawn walked in.

“Buffy? Where are you.” She turned the corner and saw Buffy and Spike- in bed together. “Oh, my, god.” Dawn ran to her room and shut the door. Spike and Buffy stopped their kiss in a bothersome moan and they got dressed and tried to look half-decent.

Buffy looked at spike apologetically and ran after her sister,” Dawn! Dawn! DAWN!”

Buffy caught up to Dawn in her room. She was lying back on her bed, clutching her pillow. She was very upset. Buffy sat down on the bed. “Dawn, I understand what you might be feeling right now- Spike...” Dawn cut in angrily through her teeth.

” This happened last time. You fell in love with another barber and we got kicked to the curb! You fall in love with these guys and it always effects our job. I forgave you last time Buffy, but this is fame, money, friends. It’s all we ever needed and were looking for. We need to make it work-“

Buffy looked sadly at her sister,” Dawnie, I know you might not understand this, but I LOVE Spike.” Buffy started to continue, but, abruptly, Dawn stopped her.” Buffy! I can’t believe you. If you cared about the band and me, you would stop loving him this minute! It shouldn’t be too hard, you only knew him for two days..”

Desperate, Buffy said,” But Dawnie, I love you, but I love him,” Taken aback, Dawn says,” And I thought family was most important!” Offended, Buffy said,” Look, Dawnie, I’ll try really, really hard, okay?” Dawn smiles a half smile,” Okay.”

Buffy walks slowly out the door as it sinks in as to what she promised. Why did she make that promise? Spike... he was like no one else, really. There was something about his chiseled face, his strong arms, his hair, his eyes, everything. Even when he held her was the most different she had ever felt.

She felt safe, whole. She didn’t understand how she could ever just forget that. Two days, sure, that’s not that much. But him, he was...well, special. She had to try to explain about her sister.

She walked to Spikes room and knocked. Spike answered, her had just taken a shower and his hair was freshly gelled and had his shirt off. You’re only here to break things off, not end up like, last time She stepped inside. “Spike, we need to talk.” He didn’t bother to put on his shirt and continued to listen. “Okay.” Buffy stared into his orbs of blue eyes and didn’t regret anything more than about what she was about to do.

“Remember when my sister caught us...well, she got really upset. She started to talk about how I didn’t care about her anymore and that I was going to screw up the band with...us.”

They sat on the bed, Buffy looking sad and Spike looking understandingly interested.” Yes, pet.” Buffy looked down.” Spike, she asked me to break things off.” Spike began to start a rage, but Buffy stopped him. Her eyes pleaded with him as she said. ”I don’t want to. But her friendship means a lot to me.”

She looked down as he said,” Well, fine then, you want to break things off.” He seemed deeply hurt but only showed anger. Buffy was silent.(She was wearing a pink denim newsboy cap and a white t shirt with a rip(from the store) diagonally across her chest showing some cleavage and her pink denim skirt set it perfectly with her straight blonde hair. ) “I’ll go. Sorry Spike. I still want you though. Bye.” She said quietly as she walked away.

That night, she cried in bed until she fell to sleep, Spike could hear her and he to, though not crying, was making up a song to explain his emotion over their break-up.

NEXT DAY

At the breakfast table, things were quiet. Buffy and Spike avoided each other at all cost and sat at opposite ends of the table. Both reached for the syrup (they were having pancakes)

And the “sorry” s that were said was all they said that day. Weeks came and went, and they still hadn’t spoken. The most they did together was sing and even that was hard. It was tough on them being in love, but having their love being forbidden was the worst.

Spike’s song was done, and he showed it to the band. But he didn’t say it was about them. But Buffy and Spike both knew. He had the solo in the song. And she did too(gee, wonder why?  )

Love

Spike: Love is like thunder; strikes you down real hard.

Buffy: But maybe love isn’t all that bad.

Spike: I loved you real bad, and when you said what you said, it made me sad...

Buffy: I didn’t need to lose you. There was a way to go.

Spike: Different but better, I know

Both: Love is not for losers, like they say in the movies. It’s for dreamers and wishers, and all of mankind.

Buffy: I loved you oh, so bad, if it weren’t for my heart, I would never have found you.

Both: (softly) And we never would’ve fallen...in...(hold out) love......(repeat love is not for...part)

Buffy looked at the song and met Spike’s eyes. She knew it was about them, no doubt about it.

The gang liked the song and they practiced it a lot. The band members got into it, but not as much as Buffy and Spike.

It effected them the mostl; and they didn’t have to pretend they were heartbroken, they were.

With a month a not speaking passed by, they could stand it no longer. Buffy needed to talk to him; she had to. That evening she decided to, the band was going to the Bronze to party.

Buffy backed out. Spike, thinking what she was thinking, opted not to go either. They left and Spike sat down by her.

“Buffy, what’s the matter with us.” He said this softly, saying it as a statement. “I don’t know. I guess we are two in love people who can’t be and we have to live with that.”

Spike said,” But I can’t handle that, and neither can you. I love you and you love me. I know it. What are we going to do about it.” Buffy and Spike hugged as she said with her head on his shoulder, “I don’t know, but we have to do something fast. “

The Next Day; Their first concert on the tour. The concert went well, but then the poporatzi showed up after the show.

Reporter: there have been some roomers around, are you and Spike an item?

Buffy: No.

Reporter: You are always together lately, do you feel anything for him.

Buffy: maybe.(she looked at Spike and notice he was getting asked the same things.)

He answered differently.

Reporter: there have been rumors about you and Buffy? Is it true?

Spike: yes.

Reporter: you are always together, do you think about her as much as she thinks about you?

Spike: definitely.

They got in their car. Buffy says to him, the others not hearing,” What was that about? Are you saying that you still love me?” Spike,” I would never stop loving you. But you siad that you didn’t want to be together and you shot me down really bad, pet.”

She stared into his eyes and said,” I don’t care what Dawn says anymore, I love you and I won’t give up.” They kiss passionately.

The Next day, the Tornadoes were scheduled to play at the annual Saturday Night Bash in the Bronze. They were all excited. While the crowd waited, they got ready...

In the dressing room, Oz was getting his orange highlights, Xander was practicing on the keyboard, and Dawn was getting two neon green highlights.

They were on the pieces of hair that was down from her style: two small ponytails pulling the front hair down onto the rest of the hair that was down.

“Buffy hurry up, we’re going to be late!” said her sister frantically. With foil still in her pure blonde hair, she yelled, “My pink highlights need to set! Five more minutes!” Her sister rolled her eyes and walked up to her.

She took out the foil and said as she crossed her arms, “You and I both know you got your highlights yesterday. And-“her older sister tried to make an excuse, but was cut off by her sister, “Buffy, we both know that you just don’;t want to perform that song with Spike-and face the poperatzi with all their questions. You’re performing, now get!” Her little sister pushed her out of her seat. Great, I’m being bullied by my little sister! Buffy thought as she passed the other members.

They were all dressed in tons of leather-each their color. Oz had a leather orange zip up jacket with leather orange jeans. Xander was in the same thing, only his was dark navy.

Dawn had on neon green leather capris with a white blouse that went 2 inches above her navel. She had on a pink leather skirt that cut just barely below her butt. She had on a white low top on that was a v neck button up-almost all were unbuttoned. She had pink high heeled sandals on that had a three inch thick heel.

Her sister had chuck taylors on that were white with neon green trim. When she got to Spike, she was unprepared for him.

His entire body seemed to be covered in lucious black leather. She almost wanted to drool. His hair was freshly dyed platinum, jelled combed back. He wore tight leather black pants with chains hooked to the belt that made an x in chains on the back.

He had on a blackundershirt only under an unzipped leather black jacket. She loved him more then ever. He was a total hottie in that outfit and she resisted the urge to jump up and rip all his clothes off.

He walked over to her and said, “So, pet. Are you ready for your first really big performance? I know I am.” She replied a little meekly, “yes.” As he was so close to her, they were exchanging breaths.

He backed off when Oz came into the room to get his guitar. It was orange and white. Spike grabbed his guitar too, it was black and white. Buffy grabbed hers, it was a hot pink and white one.

They walked onto the stage to a cheer from the audience. Spike greeted the crowd with, “Hullo, everyone, glad to see all of you made it, but I know none of you would miss our second live performance on real stage.” A girl with blonde hair screamed through all the cheering, “I’m Harmony, Spike. You’re my blondie bear!” And the brunette yelled next to her, “I’m Cordelia. I love you Spike!” Then they screamed and started to lunge at each other. Spike raised his eyebrows and said, “Security, could you get them outside. Thanks, mate”

He turned to see how Buffy would react and she said to him (not into her mike) “Wow Spikey, guess I’m not the only one.” He shook his head vigerously to yes as he said, “Course you’re the only one, luv. Don’t think I would want to get my kicks anywhere else, pet.”

He smirked at her devilishly as she rolled her eyes, annoyed, but she still blushed-she was afraid the other members heard, but they didn’t.

They started with their new singe, “ReadyTonight”

Spike strummed his guitar and started to sing,”

I’m ready, I’m ready, I’m ready babe

To hear you everyday

If you think that I want someone else, you gotta check the tune

Cause this song I’m singin’ just for you

In the lonely nights, I wish you were hear

Telling me all bout what you fear and I

Need ya in my arms tonight.

Gotta feel ya in my arms tonight.

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I’m ready, I’m ready, I’m ready babe

To feel you in my arms.

As he sang the song, he was facing the audience, but he exchanged many glances with Buffy. It was Buffy’s turn to sing. Her song she wrote it was called, “When I need you”

She strummed softly on her guitar, gradually being louder as she sang

I, feel that I’m ready for you oh, you

I feel that I need you too, when I need you

You’ll come running in

When I need ya

You’ll see me in a state

Only half a saint

Cuase I’ll need you to be my shining knight along the way

When I need you

You’ll be at my beck and call

Oh yeah,

If I fall you be there to catch me so

When I need you

I’ll call and you’ll come

When I need you

When I need you

When I need you

After she was done she smiled a white toothed smile at Spike. He half snorted and then said, “Alright everybody. Now that were done with the new songs, here comes the ones you all love.” They played, “Two Timer, Eat My Dust, Who Loves You Now, Don’t Freak, Leave Me Alone, and Not meant to be.”

They all packed up and then started to leave the building when the poperatzi showed up and asked questions

Reporter: Mr. Kingly, are the rumors true that your father, Rupert Giles wants to come back for you after he left your mother?

Spike: (grunt) none of you sodden business.

Reporter: You seem a little touchy. Was your mom married when she had you?

Spike: I said sod off, bint!

Spike pushed his way to the limo. Buffy was shocked, she never saw him angry before.

While she thought that, the reporter came up to her and started to ask questions.

Reporter: Do you know what that was about, Ms. Summers?

Buffy: No. I don’t.

Reporter: Were you nervous about performing live?

Buffy: A little, yes. But all bands face that.

Reporter: SO it is not related to the fact that you and Spike are into each other?

Buffy: NO.

Reporter: Are the rumors true you have slept together?

Buffy: NO. And if it was, it wouldn’t be any of your business. Imagine if I asked YOU about YOUR sex life!

That shut the reporter up and Buffy made her way to the limo, only to find a depressed, but angry Spike. “Spike, what’s wrong.” He said rather harshly, “I don’t want to sodden talk about it!” She was quiet for a while.

He finally calmed down. “Look, Buffy, I’m sorry, its just. My dad left when I was a baby. My parents weren’t married and I was upset. I didn’t sodden know why he was gone! He left and my mom and I were poor. I never forgave him for that. It was a scar on my life that just about healed-then that reporter had to bleedin’ bring it up again. It is true.

He’s looking for me-to see if I’ve gotten an education, a good job- a manly one. He wouldn’t want to see me in band, he would want me in some bloody office, uptight as he was.

He left my mom because he was afraid for his image, you know, knocking up a girl when he wasn’t married. His well respected, uptight family even said they would disown him if he didn’t leave and keep me a secret.”

Spike looked away and Buffy put a hand on his shoulder. She said softly, “My life was horrible before now.” He looked at her and he asked with his eyes.

She said a tiny bit louder then before, but still quiet, “I’ll tell you later. How about we talk about this somewhere else.” “Where, pet?” “How about my room at nine o’ clock. I need to tell you about my life too. And, if you will, let me know more about you.”

They drove on in silence. His arm around her.
