Thank you so much, Allison, theone ( for your advice, you’re right and I’m sorry, I promise that I’ll edit all the other chapters too as soon as I have the time ..) and Chelsea ( yay!! A new reader , * happy dance *!)

So, it’s time to see the other’s reaction..

Ideas and Disappointments (II) ( I took something at the end of ‘ What’s my line? (II) ‘, but it’s different..)

“What the hell does that mean: ‘your precious Spike’?” Giles wondered.

“You know, I was just teasing her...” Willow tried to help her, but Buffy interrupted her.

“No, Willow, I’m sick of lying and hiding from everyone, I’m going to tell you the whole truth, but you won’t like it one bit!” the blonde warned them. “I met Spike at The Bronze the first night he came in town. I thought that he was a human guy, so I sent Willow patrolling so that I could meet him...” she started her tale.

“Will, you told us that you two had been attacked!” Xander observed.
“Well, Xan, I can tell you now that this is just the beginning of a long series of lies…” she struck back, allowing Buffy to go on.

“Spike thought that I was an ordinary human girl, so he played the role of an ordinary guy for a while, then we showed our true identities to each other, and even if we were supposed to kill each other... we didn’t and we ended up kissing. So, from that night on we’ve been dating...”

“So, the Parent-Teacher night...” Xander figured out.
“Yeah, but no... wait! I didn’t know about Spike’s plans, otherwise I’d never agree. Anyway, he ordered his minions not to kill anyone, just to please me...” she informed them, and Giles was the most astonished one.

“Did he really do that?” he asked for her confirmation, taking off his glasses to clean them.
“Yeah. You know, you two have something in common, he’s English, too, and he didn’t like Snyder either...” she added.
“Do you mean that...?” Giles figured out.
“Yup, it was him!” she winked at him.
“Well, I kind of like him already after all...” Giles smirked, but Xander tried to get some attention, more and more shocked.

“This is not the right moment to joke and laugh! This is a matter of betrayal and cheating. And you, Will, you knew everything and you didn’t tell us!” Xander accused her.
“I found out that night at school, but I hereby swore that I would never tell what I had seen and I didn’t... until now...” the redhead explained, looking at Buffy with a guilty attitude.


“So, the patrols every night, the fights, the odd killers who attacked you...” the boy trailed.
“Yes, Xander, I’m sorry, it was all a charade, but about the Order… no, he didn’t send them after me, quite the contrary, he helped me to defeat them, he protected me... because he loves me!” she explained.

“Buffy, what you are saying makes no sense! Vampires can’t love, and they definitely can’t love a Slayer!” Xander struck back with a louder tone.

“Instead, he can, he does and he shows me every moment I spend with him, and I love him, too..” Buffy confessed.

Her answer shocked Xander

“ You love him and he loves you..” he repeated, recalling some previous events and realizing something important.
“Oh, my God, your birthday… when you had disappeared for hours .. you were with him, don’t you? You were with that dead disgusting evil thing that you were born to kill!” he accused her as she threw daggers at him with her eyes.

“He * is not * a disgusting dead thing! And this is not your damn business, anyway, there’s nothing you can say to make me feel guilty!” she snapped.


“You two will have time to discuss about that later. Now, tell us why the hell did you go to an unconsecrated church tonight?” Giles questioned the two girls, his expression serious and impassible.

---------------------------------------------------------

“Tell me you’re joking, this can’t be true!” Giles exclaimed at the end of their tale.

“I promise you, this is the whole truth.. I was afraid that he would kill him...” Willow justified.

“But he’s a soulless vampire now, you shouldn’t care about him anymore!” Xander protested.
“Do you really think that it is that simple, Xander? His soul is gone, but my feelings for him are still here, because I still lo...”

“No, Will, don’t even dare to say that! You two make me sick! You had already upset me when I found out that you fancied a vampire, ok, a soulful, yet dangerous vampire anyway, but you, Buffy, I’d never thought that you would do the same... worse since he’s a soulless vampire who has killed *two * Slayers already! And you, Will, caring about Angel even now that he’s Angelus again and you both helped them heal a mad, wicked vampiress when you should have let them both die... I really don’t know you anymore, I’m out of here! And I don’t mean that I’m simply going back home, I’m gonna leave this town for a while, I need to be as far from you as I can!” Xander snapped, leaving without anyone being able to stop him.


After all, Giles was too busy staring at Buffy with his most disappointed look ever.
“You helped a vampire, you are in love with a vampire, and not any vampire, but one of the most vicious and dangerous Master Vampires. Plus, you kept it all hidden so far. Oh, Buffy, where did I go wrong with you?” her Watcher wondered, shaking his head in resignation.

“Oh no, Giles, you are not at fault here, you’re the best Watcher I have ever had and the best one I could ask for! This is not a rebellion or an attempt to piss you off, I’m sorry, but it’s stronger than me. I know that it hurts you hearing that, but... I love Spike, I really do...” she struck back with a hoarse voice.


“Willow, maybe I’m the only one who really understands why you did such a stupid thing, because I know what it’s like to be desperately in love...” Miss Calendar explained, turning to Giles to smile at him.

“I know that I was terribly wrong, but I was too afraid to lose him, especially now that we can help him, so... Hey! Wait a minute… did you really say that you understand me?” Willow asked her astonished.

“Yes, I do and I’ll still help you. Together we’ll manage to do it!” the woman reassured her.
“Do what?” Buffy wondered, puzzled due to the fact that her friend didn’t tell her anything about that.

“They’re planning to give Angel his soul back!” Giles answered, but with a certain coldness, since there was still a lot of tension between them.
The Slayer’s change wouldn’t be something easy for the Watcher to accept, he knew that he would need a bottle of scotch once he got back home.

“It’s so wonderful, but it’s dangerous, too. I mean, Spike told me that Dru is very sensitive, so if you expose yourselves too much, she’ll notice that... and if she does, Angelus will find out, too... and he’ll act. Anyway, we have some advantage, because it will take a bunch of days for him to recover, but it’s not much time, we need something to distract him...” Buffy explained.
“Uhmm... maybe I know what to do...” Willow said, making everyone curious as they came back home.

************************************ (In the meantime)

Back in the St. Jimmy’s church, Drusilla had just waken up and she felt as strong as never before.
“Thank you, my love!” she whispered, placing a kiss on Angelus’ lips as he still laid deeply asleep... and paler than usual.

She put him on her back as she called out for Spike, but she didn’t get any answer.
She walked around the church, more and more concerned, until she saw the broken organ, the rubble and who was laid under them.

She gently placed Angelus on the floor and took the heavy beams away in order to set Spike free, realizing that he was as unconscious as Angelus was.

To be honest, Spike was just engrossed playing brilliantly the part of the senseless and also half-paralyzed vampire.

“Oh, my poor William. Later, you’ll tell Mommy what happened to you, my sweet baby...” she whispered to him as she lifted him up to place him near Angelus. “Don’t worry, my beloved ones, your Princess will take good care of both of you!” she smiled as she dragged them away.

TBC

So? Don’t you like this Buffy? ;)

Err... I don’t wanna scare you, but the next chapter (that is so long that I had to break it in three parts) will be ‘The Angelus’ Show’! Are you ready?
