Summary: *Runner up in Best Romance at Spark and Burn Awards Round Two**Nominated at Love's Last Glimpse Awards, Round 20 and at the Rogue Poet Awards, Round One* In response to a S/B challenge over at Insane Buffy Fans. Set after “Fool For Love”, Buffy and Spike ended up sleeping together during the night on the back porch, which has it's consequences. The previous events with Riley have taken place sooner, and he left for South America before Joyce gets sick. Joyce doesn't die, and Dawn is just Buffy's sister, no key, and no Glory. So I guess you can say it goes completely off cannon and onto A/U from there.

All gushing is for Just_Sue, who did another wonderful job beta-ing this chappie! Thanks to everyone who has reviewed so far! It makes me feel of warm and fuzzy inside.

Kudos to Just_Sue for working her magic as always. Thanks for the reviews guys. Keep them coming. Song and title by the very talented and very sexy Prince (he does go by Prince still, right?)

The name of the Watcher and date of the slayer came from Tales of the Slayers. Quick note, it occurred to me some people might not know this, but Herr is Mister in German. So I hope not to confuse anyone by repeating it all the time. As always thanks to the very talented and wonderful Just_Sue for all her time in helping making my fic all pretty. If there are any type-o's I take full blame. And thanks once again to everyone who have reviewed. It means a lot to me. It Happened One Night also won Second Place over at Spark and Burn Awards for Best Romance. So to all who votes, thanks a bunch. I was very thrilled to know that I won.
