After 12 hours of driving, Buffy is home. It’s morning.
Buffy: Guys?!
Dawn: Buffy!
Buffy: Where’s Spike? Did you get him?
Giles: Yes. He’s at the basement.
Buffy: How is he?
Willow: We patched his bruises. He’ll be fine. He just needs to rest.
Buffy: Ok, i’ll see his condition.
Buffy goes to the basement.Buffy: Spike?
Spike: (softly) Buffy…
Buffy: How… how are you?
Spike: I’m fine, just need to be bed ridden for a week i guess.
Buffy: Ya, ummm…
Spike: Buffy, you need to get rest too. It’s been a long trip.
Buffy: Yes, i will. Just checking out if you’re ok. I’m gonna sleep… now. Just ummm…
Spike: Buffy, i’ll be fine.
Buffy: Ya. (goes upstairs to her room)
Buffy goes to sleep and Spike too. After 4 hours they wake up. Buffy goes downstairs to drink.
Giles: Would you mind telling me what happened?
Buffy: Well, obviously, Spike fought someone. I don’t know who but it must be someone so strong.
Giles: So, did he get it?
Buffy: Yes
Giles: But how did he came back here, in such a rapid of time?
Buffy: It was the demon. After Spike won the fight, he gave him what he wants and he transported Spike to the ruins of the Hellmouth.
Spike gets out of his basement. Goes to the living room.
Buffy: Spike
Spike: Buffy. Ummm…
Buffy: How are you feeling?
Spike: I’m getting better.
Giles: Good to here that. So, can you touch things again?
Spike: (Spike holding a glass) Ya, that’s what i got after the fight.
Dawn: It’s nice that everyone goes back to normal.
Willow: Ya, look, the people are coming back to Sunnydale.
Spike: Look, ummm… i’m going back to my crypt. I got Clem clean it out for me.
Buffy: Why? (trying not to look sad) I mean… maybe wait until your full recovery.
Dawn: Ya, you should just stay here. You’re Buffy’s boyfriend you should be here often hanging out with her.
Spike: Well, this place can’t be a vampire’s lair. Normal house… full of normal people… with a not so normal one (spotting Andrew approaching)
Andrew: Hey guys! I can’t believe Sunnydale is full of people again.
Willow: Ya, we know. Things are getting better.
Spike: I should be going now.
Buffy: Ok. Maybe i should see you, tomorrow… ummm…
Spike: Ya, ummm… ok
Andrew: Oh, won’t you give Buffy a goodbye kiss?
Buffy is staring madly at Andrew.
Spike: Huh?
Andrew: Well, i mean, you know, you’re her boyfriend and she’s your girlfriend
Awkward moment. Everyone is staring at Spike waiting to do something.
Spike: (blushing) Ummm… (kisses Buffy on the cheek)
Spike quickly leaves. Buffy is blushing.
Andrew: Oh, that’s what I’m talkin’ about.
