"Yes! That's it, pay up!" Spike hollered in delight.
"I don't owe you anything; you cheated," Angel snorted in disgust.
"No, I bloody well didn't, you welcher! You lost, get over it, and pay the piper."
Angel stared straight ahead in disbelief. His grand-childe had defeated him.
He had to have cheated in somehow. There could be no way Spike would have known.
Could there? His eyes drifted to Spike's laptop, then back to the television.
"How did you know?" demanded Angel.
"Human nature, you git. She's not going to be smiling like that at just anyone."
Spike continued to hold out his hand, silently demanding his payment.
Angel started reaching for his wallet, when he stopped. Looking once more to
Spike's laptop, he accused, "You found out from Kristen! Didn't you?!"
Spike shouted, "No, I soddin' didn't! I didn't cheat. 'Sides, the bint never
revealed it."
"Then how did you know that Logan was at the door?"
"Just pay up, peaches. I told you it wasn't Duncan last spring, but you never
listen to me," Spike sighed.
Grumbling, Angel paid Spike just as the commercial break ended. "Ha! She's with
Duncan! I win," he said, starting to take back his money.
"The bet was who was at the door, you tit, NOT who is she with. 'Sides, she'll
get back with Logan soon enough. Duncan's a right wanker, kinda like you, peaches."
The End
