A/N- Wow, I surprise myself, I never thought I'd write a Buffy fic. But here I am. I don't know how it happened, it just did... anyway. I think it's good for a first Buffy fic. This isn't a common couple, or so I think. And I don't believe it'll ever happen either, but I wanted to write it. So I'll stop talking right now -or writing for that matter -so we can go on with the story. Oh, yeah, and one more thing: please, please, please, Review!!

Sorry for spelling and grammar mistakes, I'm kind of bad at those.

Spike sat on a bench watching people go by. Some of them looked happy, but most looked miserable, like cursing for having the life they did.

But a person in particular caught his attention. It was a girl, with big blue eyes, like about 20 years. She was with two guys, and the three of them were laughing. They seemed to be having the time of their lives. She had dark, long hair. And seemed oddly... familiar.

She turned and looked at him staring at her. He didn't look away for a moment, but then he had a weird feeling in his stomach that he hadn't felt a long time ago. He shook his head, as if to clear his thoughts.

When he looked up again the girl was standing in front of him, grinning.

"Hi," she said, cheerfully. "My friends over there, they were wondering if you'd have a cigarette," she finished, pointing at the two guys.

"I don't smoke," Spike lied.

"Oh, really? I don't remember it that way... Spike," she said, mischievously.

Spike looked at her. "Do I know you?" He said, coldly.

"Don't you recognize me?"

"Should I?" He said, still with that cold tone.

The blue eyed girl shrugged. "Maybe. Since you tried to kill my sister a couple of times before falling madly in love with her."

Spike thought for a moment. Could this be...? But it couldn't.

"Oh, and I also happen to know what you are."

Spike stood up, and glared at the girl. "Who are you?" he said, menacingly.

"Oh, don't be so grumpy. I know you are a vampire and everything, but you don't have to be in such a bad mood, you know." Spike stared at her. She sighed. "I'm Dawn."

Spike's jaw fell open. Dawn? But, God, she had changed.

"Dawn?" He said, stupidly.

"Yes. You know, Buffy's kid sister?"

"I know," he said, his eyes still on her smiling face. She suddenly rolled her eyes.

"So, you have that cigarette?" she said.

"Yeah. So, you smoke?" He couldn't believe it yet.

"Sometimes. I'm not a fan, though."

"Buffy wouldn't like it," he said, simply.

"I know," she said, grinning. "that's why I do it."

"That thing will kill you, you know," he said, sounding much unlike himself.

Dawn looked at him, oddly, shooting him a you-used-to-smoke-all-the-time look.

"I'm already dead," he said.

"It's not that. It's just, Spike, the vampire, lecturing me about cigarette? It seems really weird."

"Well, if I'm not much mistaken, back when you were 14 and Buffy was dead, I used to sit you, don't you remember?"

"Oh, I do. And you sucked at it."

Spike was about to reply something, when the two guys approached them.

"Hey, Dawnie, what's taking you so long?" One of them said. He was blond, with blue eyes, and a light tan. Spike eyed at the other. He was tall, black hair, white skin, and gray eyes.

"Nothing. And don't call me that." Dawn smiled at them. "My sister used to call me that. I hated it."

"So, Spike, the cigarette?" Dawn said. Spike handed it to her. "Thanks."

"You know him?" The black haired, gray eyed guy said.

"Something like that," she said.

"So, Dawnie, we should get going, or the party will start without us."

Dawn grinned. "The party can't start without us. We are the party." She turned to Spike. "Wanna come?"

Spike shook his head. "I have other things to do."

"Right. So are you staying in town?" Spike nodded. "Well, if sometime you feel like having some fun, which I highly doubt, I live in the local University."

"Okay."

Dawn's friends were already heading so they were a few feet away. "Just don't drink anybody, okay?" She grinned.

"It ain't funny."

Dawn rolled her eyes. "Okay, okay. You know, you should really work in that mood, or is it something all vampires have?"

"What do you mean?"

"Oh, you know, it's just I visited in L.A. certain vampire that my sister used to love and he is -same as you -really moody."

"You visited Angel?" Spike asked, in surprise.

"Dawn!" One of her friends asked, that now had Spike's lightened cigarette in his mouth. "Come on!"

"Coming!" she yelled back. "Well, Spike, I guess I'll see you around."

And she turned around and left with her friends, waving.

Spike watched walking them away, and soon they were laughing again.

Spike shook his head. Dawn had really changed. She didn't use to be like this. She was kind of shy, and helpless. Now she seemed so independent, so... popular?

Well, maybe he'll visit her in the campus someday. Just maybe.

A/N- Okay, end of the first chapter. I think it isn't going that bad so far. Please r/r and tell me!! Reviews are my life! Okay, maybe not my life, but they do mean a LOT! Please, please, please. I'm begging you.

P.S. - Sorry if the characters are a little out of character. I don't know, you tell me. It's just, I started to watch Buffy a little while ago, a little before Glory. But I became a fan instantly. Also, I don't live in the States so the show arrives here a little after than there, so I'm not really sure what's happening now. I just found out last chapter that Buffy wasn't in hell, as Willow thought, but in heaven, and nobody knows but Spike. Wow, the P.S. came out larger than the A/N. I'll stop now. Please review!
