**Part Six**

After going through over three dozens pictures, Buffy finally decided who she would join for the gala. She was standing
outside
Max's office, waiting for him to be available.

"Miss Summers, have you decided?" Max said, opening the door to his office, and walking out.

"Yes. I would like to go with Phil Coffin."

"An attractive man. He's well-mannered, and I'm sure you will enjoy your self. Your gown will be waiting in your room.
Mr.
Coffin will be picking you up at 8 p.m. tonight at your room."

"Thanks." Buffy said, walking away.

"This should be an interesting night."

*****

"Spike!"

Spike turned around. He was enjoying himself. He and Willow were walking on the beach, talking. "What the hell does he
want?" Spike jogged over to the vampire that was hiding in the shade by the bar. "What? I thought we went over
everything.
There should be no reason for you to bother me!"

"I have a tiny problem."

"What?"

"There's a woman chasing me. The demon wanted to scare her, and now all she wants to do is jump my bones."

"Your problem not mine." Spike walked away from the pleeding boy, and rejoined Willow on the beach.

"What did Xander want?"

"Advice. Where were we? Oh right, vampire sex . . . "

*****

"Lady, get away from me!"

"I've never had sex with a demon type thingy before."

"You're not starting with me."

"Oh, come on. You'll like it."

"No, no I won't." Xander fled away from the girl, yet again.

"I've been chasing him for too long. Maybe I should just stop." The girl said.

"Or maybe you shouldn't. What would be your wish, if you could have it?"

"I would wish that he would be locked in my room, and obey my every command, just for tonight."

"You got it." Anyanka said.

*****

"A very interesting night." Max said. "Maurice, did you give the message the Mr. Coffin that Miss Summers has accepted
his
request?"

"I did, Mr. Rourke. I also told the other 30 something guys that they were turned down."

"Good, then I believe it is time to grant Mr. Coffin's fantasy. You might want to stay home tonight, and just watch what
unfolds,
Maurice."

"I can't. I'm the bouncer remember."

"Then maybe I'll just have to tape it for you."

*****

"Ladies, would you please leave me alone. I am actually further behind in my research than when I arrived here. All I
want to
do is read. I don't need back rubs, or refills on my drink. I'm not interested in going up to my room, or your room for
that
matter. Please just let me research!" Giles practically yelled.

"Are you having problems, Mr. Giles?" Max asked.

"Yes, I am. These women refuse to leave me alone. I'm trying to research, and they pester me none stop. I hate
distractions."

"Well, Mr. Giles, everyone has a distraction here and there. You just need to accept that, and your research will go along
a bit
quicker."

*****

"Willow, would you go with me to the gala tonight?" Spike asked. He and Willow were sitting by the ocean. The sun was
setting and Willow was resting her head on Spike's shoulder.

"Gala?"

"Yeah. Max is having one. He said it would interesting."

"I'd go, but I don't have anything to wear."

"This is Fantasy Island, luv. You can have anything you want."

"Then I'll go. I'll collect you around 8?"

"Okay. We should probably head back. It's already 7, and it'll probably take some time for me to get ready."

"Okay, I'll walk you back."

*****

"Hi Buffy. Where are you going?"

"Gala. You?"

"Same. Who are you going with?"

"Phil Coffin."

"Phil Coffin? Isn't that an odd name."

"Who are you going with?" Buffy asked, changing the subject.

"Spike."

"What is it with him? You've spent the entire day with him. Aren't you sick of him?"

"No. He's actually really nice."

"Well he's human, he really hurt anything."

"I don't think that's the reason." Willow mumbled.

"Huh?"

"Nothing. Are you wearing the green dress or the blue one?"

"Blue."

"Okay." Willow grabbed the pale green dress, and walked into the bathroom.

Half and hour later, she walked out. The gown was beautiful. It was a pale green shade with long sleeves and a scooped
neck
that showed just enough cleavage.It was snug around her waist, and the back was a series of criss-cross ties over the
material.
The rest of the gown was straight with a high slit up one leg that allowed her to move freely.

Buffy's gown was similar. A beautiful shade, cerulean. The gown was strapless, and straight. Nothing fancy. A simple
piece
of ribbon was tied around the waist, and there were two slits, one up each side.

"Willow, you look amazing. I can't believe you're wasting it on Spike, though."

"Buffy, it is not a waste. I like Spike." She practically whispered the last part.

"You what?!" There was a knock at the door. "We'll talk about this later." Buffy opened the door, and there stood the
man
from the picture. Dressed in a traditional tuxedo, he looked handsome. He had short black hair, and a clean shaven face.

Buffy could tell by looking at him that he worked out. "Hi. I'm Buffy."

"I'm Phil."

"This is my best friend, Willow. Come on in. I'm not quite ready."

"Okay." He replied, closing the door behind him.

Not seconds later, another knock came to the door. Willow stood and answered it. "Spike." She was taken aback. There
stood Spike, wearing a short black coat with tails over a white shirt and black cumberbund. A black bow tie and pleated
pants finished off the outfit.

"Ello, luv. Can I come in?"

"Um..uh...oh, yeah. Sure. Spike this is Phil, Buffy's date."

The two shook hands. "Luv, can we chat somewhere private?"

"Yeah. The bathroom's empty."

Spike followed Willow into the bathroom. Once inside, he promptly closed the door, and turned the spicket on full blast.
"What's wrong?"

"That bloke out there's a vampire."

"What? How?"

"I guess being one for 100+ years I'm able to tell, even when I'm
human."

"You're joking, right?"

"No."

**Part Seven**
"This isn't my idea of fun." Xander said, chained to the bed. "Please, just let me go. I'll be good."

"But I don't want you to be good. I've been with good boys all my life. I want a bad boy!" The girl, who had been
chasing
him, said.

"Look, I don't know how I got here, and how I got chained to the bed, but I don't like it!"

"God, you're lame. Now, I'm going to release you, but I want to strip and then get back on the bed."

"No way." She undid the chains, and Xander jumped up, wanting to leave, but found that his hands and feet had a different
idea. Within seconds, he was fully stripped, and back on the bed, ready to be chained. "Why me?" He squeaked out.

*****

"What do you mean 'he's a vampire'?"

"That he's a vampire."

"Oh. Well, then we should stake him."

"But it could have just been his fantasy. It wouldn't really be fair. Plus, he might get a little nibbly with the
Slayer. That I
wouldn't mind at all."

"Spike! Buffy's my friend. I'm not going to let a vampire eat her!"

"Would you calm down? The Slayer can take care of herself."

"No she can't."

"What do you mean?"

"That was Buffy's fantasy. Not to be the Slayer."

"Then I guess we have no choice but to go with them to the gala. You can keep an eye on her."

"You mean, we right?" Willow asked, her voice full of hope.

"Fine. I mean we." Spike turned off the spicket, and the two walked out of the bathroom.

"Are you two ready?" Willow asked. "Spike and I figured that the four of us could go together."

Spike noticed Phil's face shift a little, and he nudged Willow. "Definately new to the whole demon thing. The demon is
just
waiting to jump out." He whispered into her ear, hoping the bloke in front of them wouldn't hear him.

"Buffy, can I talk to you?"

"What are you doing luv? Don't tell her."

"Sure." Buffy walked off to the side with Willow. "What's up, Wills?"

"Just be careful, okay?"

"Yeah. Of course."

The girls rejoined their dates, and the four made their way to the gala.

*****

"Buffy? Is that Giles running towards us?" Willow asked.

It sure was. He was racing down the hall, every second or two, shooting a glance behind him. He stopped right infront of
the
foursome. "Hide me?" He practically begged.

"Giles, who's chasing you?"

"Them!" Giles said pointing at a gang of women. "They won't let me do research! All I wanted to do was research! But
they
won't let me!" He screamed.

As the girls approached them, Giles hid behind Spike.

"Rupert, we just want to help."

"Go 'way." He said, popping his head up from behind Spike, just to drop it back down.

"Let us help you." Another pleaded.

"No." Giles said, repeating the action.

"Ladies, why don't you leave the bloke alone for a few? He seems a bit, well, nuts."

"Fine. But Rupert, we'll be expecting you down in the library soon." Giles' harem left.

"Thank you, Spike."

"Giles would you like to explain?" Buffy asked.

"My fantasy was to do research, but Max threw in the beach and women. Now I can't seem to get them to go away."

"Well, it seems that he does things for a reason. Did he tell you anything?" Willow offered.

"Yes. He said, 'Everyone has a distraction here and there. You just need to accept that, and your research will go along
a bit
quicker.'."

"Maybe you should think about that, mate. The chits said they'd be in the library, so just stay away from there, and you
should
be fine." Spike said.

"Okay. I'll be in my room if you need me." Giles said, walking away.

"I hope he feels better tomorrow."

"I'll check on him in the morning." Spike said.

*****

*This sucks. I haven't found one person since that woman that was chasing Xander. Wait, Max said that there would be
women at the night club. If there isn't anything there, I'll just get someone to wish something evil on Max.*

*****

"Are you enjoying yourself, luv?" Spike asked Willow, as they made their way to the dance floor.

"I just wish that vampire would make his move, so we can stake, and get the night moving."

"Relax." Spike pulled Willow into his arms. She put her arms up around his neck, while he rested his around her waist.

"What do you want to do tomorrow?" Spike asked.

"I don't know. Just be around you." She rested her head on his chest. Listening to his heartbeat, she almost missed what
he
said next.

"I know." He whispered, not thinking she would have heard him.

"What do you mean you know?" Willow said, pulling her head from his chest, and placing her hands on his shoulders, pushing
him away.

"I just, I.."

"How?"

"Max told me what your fantasy was."

"How dare he?!? And you Mister. You should have told me you knew!"

"I didn't think it was such a big deal. You know what my fantasy is."

"Yeah, but you told me! Who says I wanted you to know?!?" Willow stormed away, not hearing Spike's reply.

"But I only chose to be human because I knew I would be spending my time with you."

Just as Willow was about to walk out the door, she heard Buffy shriek. She whipped around, to see Phil with his head in
Buffy's neck. "Buuffffyyyy!!!"

Spike ran over to the table, and tried pulling Phil off of Buffy, but
only succeeded in pissing off the demon.

Phil turned to the intruder, and stalked away from Buffy, chasing
Spike.

"Oh goddess, I wish that Phil would just disappear, and leave us
alone!" Willow said, crouched down next to Buffy.

**Part Eight**

"Hi Willow."

"Anya?" Willow questioned the demon before her.

"Actually, for the week I'm Anyanka. You requested that 'Phil would just disappear and leave us alone'?"

"Yeah." Willow replied confused. "Yeah!" The answer came more enthusiastically. "You're Anyanka! You can do that!"

"Yup, and since you wished, I'm allowed." Anyanka snapped her fingers, and Phil disappeared. "Do you need help getting
out?" Anyanka asked.

"I'll help." Spike said, approaching the trio.

"You will not! I don't want to ever see you again!" Willow shouted, getting Buffy to her feet.

As the two were exiting, they bumped into Xander. "Hey Wills, you need help?"

"Please?"

"Sure. I'll carry her." Xander picked Buffy up and cradled her in his arms.

"Xander, when did you get to be so strong?"

"Since I became a vampire."

"What? Did Spike turn you? I am *so* gonna kill him."

"No, it's my fantasy to be one."

*****

"Hey mate." Spike said walking into Giles' room.

"Spike? How was the gala?"

"Slayer was almost killed by her vampire date. Then red flipped on me, and said she never wants to see me again. You?"

"Oh dear. Is Buffy alright?"

"Fine. The whelp was helping her."

"Oh."

"How you feeling?"

"Much better since the woman have left me alone."

"I can't believe you didn't like having your own brothel. Most blokes would die for that."

"Well, I reallized what Max meant. He wanted me to realize that sometimes Willow, and Xander and Buffy, and even you have
other things to do."

"I guess he wanted all of us to learn a lesson."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, he made Red hate me."

"Join me for some scotch?"

"Love to."

The two then proceeded to get plastered, and crashed in Giles' room.

*****

Giles popped two aspirin in his mouth, and began, "Max, we all apologize, but due to unforseen circumstances we will be
unable to stay the remainder of the week. I suppose a week on Fantasy Island was a bit too much for some of us."

"That's fi--"

"What right do you have telling Spike what my fantasy was?"

"Well, he wanted to make a decision. I just helped him along."

"You shouldn't have helped." Willow stormed out of the building.

"Spike, do you have any more aspirin?" Giles asked. Willow's yelling had heighted the pain of his headache, which was
first
induced due to the amount of alcohol he had consumed.

"Here. Take the bottle." Spike said absently handing the bottle over. His eyes were on Willow. He couldn't believe he
screwed it up.

*****

"Amelia, when you said about Spike hanging around Slayers, what did you mean?"

"He never told you?"

"No. Why would he tell me?"

"Well it's obvious he loves you." Since Willow didn't respond, Amelia continued. "You know he's killed two, right?"
Willow
nodded. "Did he ever tell you how?" She shook her head. "He killed them while claiming them. There's something about
Slayer's blood though. When a vampire feeds from a Slayer, the blood is like a drug to them. They can't get enough.
That's
the reason why most Slayers don't choose vampires as lovers. Spike was claiming Alicia and Maggie, only he drank too much,

and killed them. He loved them, but his demon just wanted their blood."

*****

The plane ride home was made in silence, except for Xander and
Anya. They were the only two that enjoyed the vacation.

"It makes no sense. We go on vacation, and more than half of us
come back even more stressed out. There is something
wrong with you all." Xander said as they landed.

**Epilogue**

Ever since the vacation, Spike had been ignoring Willow, and
Willow ignored Spike. He was acting like the vampire she
thought he wasn't. She truly hoped that once they returned to
Sunnydale, he would tell her he was sorry, but he never did. He
was acting like an asshole. Like a jerk. **I can't believe he's being
such an ass. I mean, I thought he really liked me. I guess I
was just kidding myself. I should never have thought that Spike
would actually like me. He's just a creep.**

*****

**She probably thinks I'm a creep. I should never have started this
charade. I should never have neglected her. I should
never have ignored her.**

*****

Willow's phone, but she let the answering machine get it. She
didn't want to talk to anyone. "...leave a message at the beep."
BEEEPPP!

Instead of a voice, Willow heard a guitar playing. She grabbed the
phone, but didn't say anything.

"If I said what's on my mind
You'd turn and walk away
Disappearing way back in your dreams
It's so hard to be unkind.
So easy just to say
That everything is just the way it seems.

You look up at me and somewhere in your mind you see
A man I'll never be
If only I could find a way
I'd feel like I'm the man you believe I am
It's gettin' harder everyday for me.
To hide behind this dream you see
A man I'll never be

I can't get any stronger
And I can't climb any higher
You'll never know just how hard I've tried
Cry a little longer and hold a little tighter
Emotions can't be satisfied

"Spike, are you there?" No answer. "Spike?"

"Yeah, luv? Sorry, I had to put the guitar down and pick up the phone."

"I love you."

"I love you, too. Are we done playing this game?"

"I think so."

"Then get your cute ass over, so we can shag like bunnies."

**The End**
