It was about 9:30pm now, Buffy was busy with her nightly patrol. She had just finished dusting two scrawny looking vamps, other then that she was bored. She had to face facts, there was no activity in the graveyard tonight. But it didn’t matter right now because she had been to busy with her thoughts about Riley lately. Their relationship was sinking, and fast. She didn’t think he noticed though, the only thing he seemed to notice was Spike. It was always Spike this or Spike that. Last night right when she was about to get some needed sleep, what did Riley do? He complained about Spike! Buffy was getting tired of it too. If the gang was all in the magic shop and Buffy would just go to throw a paper away, Riley would need to follow her. She just wished he wouldn’t treat her like a little girl who couldn’t take care of herself! While Buffy was busy with all of her thoughts a big vamp that had been following her decided that this would be the time of attack.
Buffy didn’t even notice him until he came up from behind her and kicked her in the back. This made Buffy pay attention and then she got into her fighting stance.
“Let’s see how good you are when playing fairly,” Buffy said, ready to pummel this guy. ‘Who does he think he is anyway’ she thought looking at his ugly plaid shirt and ripped up pants. ‘Oh yeah real scary’
“I could kill you even if I was blind folded slayeeerrrr!,”the vamp said proudly.
“Oh yeah, great comeback. Let’s all clap for the soon to become compost.,”Buffy said then went and punched him the nose.
Then the fight was on and the vamp came and twisted her arm back, ready to sink his teeth into her neck. But once again he was surprised when Buffy’s leg came up and kicked him again. Then she threw him smack dab into a gravestone. He rolled off of the gravestone and landed on the ground, moaning in the little pain that he had. Buffy went over to him and looked at him like he was a big baby.
“It’s not that easy!,” Buffy said as she went an staked him.
****************
About an hour later Buffy was traveling through the graveyard on her way home, when she heard a bustling noise. She then turned around but didn’t see anything. ‘Must’ve been the “wind”’ she thought. Then she could’ve swore she saw something by a nearby tree so she walked towards it. Instantly she knew what it was and kept walking like everything was normal. When she was almost walked all the way past the tree, she turned and yanked out her follower from behind the tree, knowing who it was along.
“Hey! Watch the arm!,” Spike shouted at her.
“Spike,” she started to say calmly then yelled at him, “What the hell are you doing here!,” she said staring at him.
Right when Spike was about to answer she cut him off, “And if you were stalking me again, I swear to god, I will kill you!”
She knew how he felt about her and all, everyone did, but enough was enough. She was trying to be as nice as she could about it but she already caught him stalking her three times this week! Good thing she didn’t tell Riley, he would so flip at her and watch her even more, and then he would probably yell at Spike too. And personally she thought Spike didn’t need that because hey, she was going to yell at him the most anyway. Besides poor Riley would be wasting his breath because everyone knew Spike didn’t care what anyone said, unless it was her, her mom, or Dawn speaking to him. Which she still didn’t understand.
“So what if I was watching you Slayer! I can do what I want, I’m the Big Bad remember?,”Spike said and cocked an eyebrow at her, “Besides, I don’t understand why it gets you all huffed up for. What’s the matter?, Do I make you nervous?” Spike said grinning at her, because he knew he made her nervous, and that made him feel like the Big Bad again. Not that he still wasn’t of course!
Buffy just stared at him for a minute before telling him off.
“That is sooo it buddy! Say hello to Mr. Pointy because–”Buffy started to say but was cut off by her best friends.
“Oh!,Hey Buffster!,” Xander said while he munched on some tortilla chips.
“What are you guys doing here?,” Buffy asked surprised to see them.
“Well we got bored of Xander making boring jokes and doing the snoopy dance, so everyone, except me because I just wanted to take Xander and have many orgasms, decided to come and cheer you on as you kill demons! Yeah for the dead demon!,” Anya answered her.
“Oookkkk.,”Buffy said not sure of what else to say.
Then Riley came out of the crowd and put his arm around Buffy. Riley gave her a tender kiss on the lips and then they pulled apart. This made Spike sick. ‘What can she possibly see in him?’ Spike thought. Normally he wouldn’t like this one bit, but he decided he to try and walk away without being noticed so then Buffy couldn’t yell at him. ‘I am the Big Bad!’ Spike thought as he tried to sneak away.
“Not so fast Spikey!,”Buffy said while walking towards him. “Hmm, where were we?,” she said pretending to think. “Oh yes I was about to dust your sorry ass.” She finished saying while she held her stake up.
“Woah! Hang on there Buffster, what’s going on, I mean normally I would be happy for you to kill Spike but, were you going to do this while I wasn’t here? I’m ashamed on you.” Xander said looking at Buffy.
“You mean you’re finally going to kill him?,”Riley asked, “Is this a Birthday present I don’t know about?”, he said and smiled a little. ‘Finally she realizes what has to be done!’ Riley thought.
Buffy just rolled her eyes. A birthday present for him! More like for herself, everything has to be about him though! ‘Of course’ she thought.
“Wait! Buffy hold on, why are you going to dust him? I mean what did he do?,” Willow asked.
“I caught lil’ old Spikey here stalking me. Again! For the fourth time this week!,”Buffy yelled, tired of all the questioning. Then she realized that she never told anyone that she had caught Spike stalking her, and instantly regretted telling everyone that out loud.
“Wait, he’s been stalking you?,”Riley asked, getting very angry, and you could tell his face would start getting red at any minute.
“Well, yeah.,” she said deciding to tell everyone the truth right now.
“Oh my goddess! Spike how can you just walk around stalking her! Don’t you realize that must give her the heebee geebees!,”Willow said disgusted by him.
“T-t-that’s terrible. It’s like invading her p-personal space.,” Tara said, joining the discussion for the first time that night, and also supporting what her girlfriend had to say.
“Guys it’s okay! I’m handling it.,”Buffy said turning around back to Spike., “Aren’t I?,”she asked him.
Spike didn’t bother to answer her and then Riley had to open his big mouth again.
“Wait hold on! Buffy how long has he been doing this?,” Riley asked demanding an answer from her.
“I don’t know Riley! Why don’t you just ask Spike!,”She yelled, fed up with everyone acting like it was her fault. ‘Like I wanted Spike to stalk me anyway!’ she thought to herself.
“Would everyone shut the bloody hell up! I have never heard you all yammer so much! First of all I don’t have to tell any of you anything! And second of all the only explanation you’re going to get is I’m evil. Now bloody well deal with it and shut your bleeding gob!,” Spike answered angrily, glaring at Riley the entire time.
“Spike you’ve been stalking me and you think I don’t deserve an explanation?,”Buffy asked him, “Wow I didn’t know it was possible but you really are dumber than you look.” Buffy said, and then out of nowhere punched him in the nose!
“Ow! Bloody hell women!”,Spike said rubbing at his nose.
**************
“Well that’s what you–”,Buffy was saying but got cut off by a vampire. The big bulky vamp punched her in the nose and it caused her to move back a little. ‘Why do they keep sneaking up on me tonight?’ she wondered.
“Go Buffy! You can do it. Slay that mean vampire!,”Anya cheered.
Everyone just rolled their eyes at her. Spike on the other hand found it amusing. Then he decided he had enough of Buffy yelling at him, so he decided to sit back and watch the vampire fight with Buffy. If she needed help Spike would do it, but other than that he seemed easy to take out so Buffy should be fine, he reasoned with himself.
Buffy got into her fighting stance again that night and got ready to dust this pathetic excuse of a vampire. Then the vampire came to punch her, but she held his arm away from her. Only thing was she forgot about his other arm, and he still got his punch in. Buffy fell back into a tree and then became unconscious. Spike then came to life and marched up to that vampire like he owned the place. Which since his crypt was here he kind of did. The vamp didn’t even notice Spike until Spike roared violently at him, and punched him in the jaw! Then the vampire fell to the ground begging for Spike not to hurt him.
“Dude, why are you protecting her? She’s the Slayer!,” The vampire asked.
“It’s simple......it’s just that,.........NOBODY touches my girl!,”Spike said as he staked the vampire, and watched him become a big pile of dust. As Spike felt proud of himself, he noticed everyone was hovering over Buffy, checking to see if she was okay. So Spike walked over there just in time to see Buffy moan a little bit and then flutter her eyes open. For a minute Spike got lost in her beautiful green orbs, especially when they looked straight at him.
“Sweetheart are you alright?,”Riley asked Buffy wondering if she was going to need to see a doctor or not.
“Sweetheart? Riley I know you like me, but I think you’re getting carried away just a little. And by the way, where am I? What happened to all of the demons? And Willow you’re back! That’s great, now reverse that stupid spell so Giles can see again already!,”Buffy said and then she looked at Tara "Who are you?"
