This is my very first journey into fanfic, please be patient and kind. :) This story idea has been running in my head for weeks now and I have to get it out. This will more than likely be long and I will post as much as possible. Don't fret....Spike will be here shortly. However, there will be a few chapters before his hotness appears! Thanks.

**Joss Whedon owns all, I own nothing. I only use these characters for my own sick amusements! Also, lyrics for "Breath" belongs to Fatih Hill-not me!

**A/N** Chapter started running a bit long, Muse was working overtime on this one. Finally came to a good stopping point. Hope you guys like it. Thoguht it was time to bring in some interaction with friends. Thank you for all of the wonderful reviews, love hearing from you guys. Also, this is more plot but if all goes well I hope to have more smutty spuffy tomorrow!

Thanks to everyone who has left a review! As you know, I love hearing from you guys! Also, thank you to whomever nominated my lil fic at LSA! That means the world to me that you guys like my story so much!

26. Chapter 27 by serenity [Reviews - 8] (2033 words)
Sorry this one took a bit to get out, there was a computer/operater error and I lost this entire chapter and had to rewrite it! Funny story though, went to cut and paste this new chappie and accidentally pasted it into the radio log at my JOB!

Thankfully, only the first paragraph was pasted and the naughty bits at the end weren't. Still, my hands shake and my face is red with embarassment.

Anyway, hope you guys enjoy this update...it took alot to get it out!

Thanks for all the review!

27. Chapter 28 by serenity [Reviews - 3] (1596 words)
Sorry this chapter took so long to get out, but my muse has been highly unmotivated. Also, I apologize for any confusion on the last chapter about Riley's car. I went back and fixed the problem and explained what happened if anyone wants to go back and reread it.

Thanks for all of the wonderful reviews! This chapter had to be cut short, because it was going to be too long. The other part will be put out sometime before Wed. Thanks again!

I had only intended to work out the details on this chapter, but somehow my fingers wouldn't stop typing so it's all here.

30. Chapter 31 by serenity [Reviews - 6] (1097 words)
Ok...so I have to apologize for not only taking so long to get this chapter out, but because it's shorter than usual. Muse left again. Took me two long days to get this to resemble something other than gibberish. Again...so very sorry.

I am going on vacation this weekend and I hope that it will help clear my head so that I can do a better job on the next chapter.

I am probably going to take a short break from my other story and concentrate on this one. Mainly because I am stuck on the other one as well, but also because I really want to finish this one.

As always, please....please....puh-lease review. Maybe it'll get Muse to show her ass up to work! LoL!

31. Chapter 32 by serenity [Reviews - 3] (1672 words)
Enjoy...since the site was down over the weekend, this was already posted on several other sites. Sorry you guys had to be last! Please, read and review!

32. Chapter 33 by serenity [Reviews - 6] (1358 words)
Thanks so much for all of the fantastic reviews! I hope this chapter will make up for the angsty-ness in the past. Spuffy loving. As always, please read...enjoy...and review!

33. Chapter 34 by serenity [Reviews - 7] (1543 words)
So sorry for taking this long to update, but this time Muse left for a good long while. I have been working on this chapter for 2 weeks, but kept deleting it because well...it sucked. Hope it's not too crappy now.

34. Chapter 35 by serenity [Reviews - 6] (1491 words)
Please do not be mad at me for taking so long to update! RL has been a total bitch to me the past 2 weeks. Work has been hellish since the weather has gotten warmer, apparently signalling to all of the citizens that it is ok to go out and rape, pillage and all in all act like a bloody idiot. Then, on a more personal level...my moms cancer came back for a third time. It's small this time and can probably be handled with different drugs, but still caused my attentions to be elsewhere. It took me way too long to get this chapter out, but it just never seemed to go anywhere when I wrote. So, I decided to just give you guys some Spuffy lovin in anticipation of the angst that will be coming soon. Thanks for the reviews! And, as always, please be kind and leave a response. Muse eats them up!

35. Chapter 36 by serenity [Reviews - 8] (1204 words)
Plot bunnies have left again so I am pleased to present nothing but SMUT. Sorry guys! Please feel free to review though!!!


Also, forgot to say that they lyrics in this chapter belong to LeeAnn Rimes and not me! I do not profit in any way from them or anything else in this story other than gratification from reviews!

36. Chapter 38 by serenity [Reviews - 6] (1448 words)
Thanks for all of the reviews! Sorry this chapter took so long to get out, but my little sister came to visit last week and I figured my mother would not be too pleased with me writting smut around her. This was a bit rushed and forced, muse was cooperating tonight but it was difficult to put to words. Hope you guys like it! Please review!

37. Chapter 39 by serenity [Reviews - 8] (1806 words)
All of the sudden my muse hit me, so I was able to get another chapter out! Yea me! Hope you guys like this installment. Please review...pretty puh-lease!

38. Chapter 40 by serenity [Reviews - 3] (2103 words)
Hey guys thank you so much for all of the fantastic reviews that everyone has left. I apologize for not getting something out sooner, but work has been totally insane. Anyway, hope you guys enjoy this installment and please let me know if you do. Hint...Hint....Hint! Also, the lyrics that are in ( ) at the end of the story are the part of the song that Xander sings. I had no other idea how to make it so that it was distinguishable. ENJOY!!!!

39. Chapter 41 by serenity [Reviews - 9] (1346 words)
Ok, hope you guys enjoy this one. It seems as though my readers have dwindled,, I seriously hope it's not because the story is begining to suck. Thanks to the only person that reviewed the last chapter, it was good to hear from you. This story will be wrapping up soon, probably only 3-4 more chapters left if all goes as planned. Thanks again and please review, I really do love hearing from you guys!

40. Chapter 42 by serenity [Reviews - 10] (1613 words)
Ok, there is a cliffhanger but this chapter was going to be way too long if I continued with what I was planning. So, try not to hate me too much. I promise to have the next part out next week, even if I have to bitch slap my muse! Thanks for all of the reviews guys, keep em coming!!!

41. Chapter 43 by serenity [Reviews - 12] (1562 words)
Ok...here is the chapter that you guys have begged for. While all of the reviews were totally fantastic and I would love to hear them about this update, please don't make them too bad. Please? It will be all right eventually, just need the drama before hand, yeah? Ok...on with the story!

42. Chapter 44 by serenity [Reviews - 7] (1595 words)
Ok, so this chapter turned out a lot differently than I had planned when I sat down to write it. There are some things I had planned to put in here but time ran out and I am about to leave work. It's pretty juicy stuff though, so I intend to put it in the next chapter. One line in here by Giles is actually from the show and I do not claim it as mine...it's Joss all the way. Please take pity on me and review because the past week has been pure hell on me and I am surprised I managed to get two chapters out during it all. First, my youngest cat went missing and I still feel like my heart is going to break into a million tiny pieces. Second, I got attacked by a rogue clothing rack in my basement and am now sporting a gashed eyebrow and nasty black eye. Ouchie! Hope you guys enjoy and have a great weekend...er, end of the weekend. It's just starting for me though!

44. Chapter 46 by serenity [Reviews - 10] (2689 words)
Sorry for taking so very long to post this chapter. As most of you know, I can only post from work. Well, the IT department has made it so that certain sites can be accesed since some guy was caught watching porn on youtube. Sucks for me and for all of you guys that want to read my story. Anyway, on the upside this story is almost done. Actually have the next to last chapter in reserve, then need an epi. So hang tight! Thanks for all of the freaking awesome reviews! Oh BTW I did not get a chance to really look over this and it's not beta read so be nice, please.

45. Chapter 47 by serenity [Reviews - 10] (2951 words)
Ok guys...last chapter and the the Epi! Thank you so much for the great reviews. Even though I am ready to move to another story and finish LC, I will be sad to see this one go since its my first. Please let me know what you think and also this hasnt been betad. Thanks again!
