AN: PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW I need some feed back, I kinda feel like I've got no purpose with this story cos I've only had like one reviewer that wasn't friend or family (so u can c how I feel) lol.

Several days after the find Dawn fiasco when Spike and the fang gang were all sitting in the kitchen eating and talking with the exception of Dawn was still sleeping and Connor was MIA as fare as anyone was aware. After breakfast they moved out into the lobby to do some research they had been at it for a while when Dawn and Connor walked down the main stairs so close to each other that you couldn't separate them with a piece of paper yet Spike didn't think this was anything to be worried about until Dawn come and gave him his morning hug the way she did ever morning it was then that he could smell Connor all over her mixed with the smell of sex. An inhuman growl emerged from Spikes chest and he lunged past Dawn at Connor.

Buffy walked down the sunny street and looked around at all the people that were busily rushing about there days they all seemed to have so much focus in what they are doing with there day. It had been a week since she had flown in to LAX and she hadn't seen Dawn yet, Buffy had a fairly good idea were she was but she wasn't sure she was ready to face Angel yet. It was more from embarrassment then from any lingering feelings from there past relationship. As Buffy drew closer to the Hyperion Hotel she felt a strange creped into her body but she shrugged it off as nerves but closer and closer she got the felling intensified until it was almost over whelming yet she didn't stop once she kept moving almost on auto pilot moving towards the large glass doors that marked the entrance to what she knew would be one of the hardest day in her life, with the exception of the day she lost Spike.

Buffy got to glass door and stopped staring through the doors but could not believe what she was seeing, she had to be dreaming she had to be!!!!!.. inside she could see Spike had a hold of a tall man by the scruff of the neck and was shacking him with Angel trying to separate the two with a out much luck, Dawn and Cordy was pleading with Spike to release the thin young man and a small crowed of people looking as if unsure what to do but Buffy didn't seem to take any of this in her focus was solely on Spike and without knowing she began to move forward.

As if in a trance Buffy moved down the stair and across the lobby towards the man that owned her heart the man she believed was dead. As if he sensed her Spike arms dropped from Connor and he turned his head and only his head towards her his eyes closed as if afraid to open them. In her trance Buffy didn't hear Dawn as she spoke to her and moved towards her but Buffy walked straight past her and stopped straight in front of Spike. It was like everything just dropped away and all that was left was Buffy and the man in front of her, her hand raised to his face as though reassuring herself that he was really there, in front of her to touch.

"You….." Buffy stammered tears filled her eyes "you left me"

Spike opened his blue eyes and stared in to her green ones, he could he all the pain in them as if he could read her like a book but he said nothing.

"You didn't believe me" Buffy whispered the tears streaming down her face going so pale "I did….. I do…. love you"

Buffy couldn't think of anything but having his lips on hers as some as possible. Spike couldn't believe his eyes she was standing right in front of him as she had in so many of his dreams, maybe that's what this was maybe he was dreaming again but the feel of her hands on his face felt so real to him so real, then she was kissing with such a passion. Then Buffy seemed to go slake in his arms at a dead faint.

Dawn couldn't believe her eye's, Buffy was here in LA at the Hotel and looking dazed and pale at that. Dawn moved forward to greet her sister. Dawn completely forgot about the fight that had been happening in light of the more pressing turn of events being that her sister was in the same room as her once dead lover, Dawn had no idea how Buffy would take the fact that the love of her life was no longer dead in a way.

"Buffy, listen…" Dawn started but was cut of by Buffy walking right past her and straight to Spike.

It was sheer seconds before Buffy and Spike were kissing as Dawn had seen so many times before when Spike and Buffy thought she wasn't around back in Sunnydale. Dawn Smiles and felt so relived until Buffy went limp and almost hit the floor if it wasn't for Spike how scooped her into his arms and dashed towards the nearest lounge and began to fret.

"Buffy, Buffy" Spike called to her touching her face and hair "Open your eyes love"

"What did you do to her?" Angel growled almost shoving Spike out of the way but spike shoved back knocking Angel on his ass

"Should we call a doctor" Cordy asked as she helped Angel to his feet, not that he needed help Dawn guessed it was more out of wanting to make Cordy feel that he needed her then he really needed help.

"Just give her some air guys she's the slayer after all" Dawn said to no one in particular
