Part 1

Spike walked into Willy's bar, he sat down and Willy came over to him.

"What are you having?" He asked. Spike sighed.

"I'll have whiskey and bourbon." He said.

"Guy over there is having the same thing." Willy said, smiling. Spike looked around and saw the bar was pretty much empty except for some dark haired guy,
and himself.

"Who is that guy?" Spike asked. He couldn't exactly see him very well. Willy just shrugged.

"I know him." Willy said. Spike sighed, and took his newly poured drink over to the guy. The guy’s head was on the bar so Spike couldn't see his face.

"Hello mate." Spike said. The guy looked up

"Hi ya Spike." Angel said in a silly voice. Spike could see he was beyond drunk.

"Wasn't expecting to see you back here." Spike said. Angel shrugged

"I was bored." He said. Spike raised his glass

"I'll drink to that." He said. Angel smiled and took another drink. "So why are you here?" Spike asked.

"Why does any guy drink?" Angel asked. Spike smiled.

"A girl?" He answered. Angel nodded

"Yep." He replied. "And you?" Spike smiled.

"A girl." he said. Angel looked up in interest.

"Well you know what my drinking problem is, so who's yours?" Angel asked.

"A witch." He said. Angel smiled goofily.

"You're in love with Willow." He said in a sing song voice. Spike didn't say anything. "Well everyone has their own reasons." He said.

For the next two hours Spike got drunk and Angel continued to do so. By eleven they were both smashed.

"So why haven't you come to get what's yours?" Spike asked. Angel shrugged.

"She's got commando boy." He said. Spike started laughing. "What's so funny?" Angel asked.

"Blondie dumped him weeks and weeks ago. Tragic really." He said still laughing.

"So why haven't you tried with Willow?" Angel asked. Spike stopped laughing.

"She wants dog boy mate. Not me." He said. Angel smiled.

"I know a secret." He said.

"What?" Spike said.

"She likes you. I heard her tell Buffy once." He started laughing. Suddenly Spike had an idea.

"So lets go get them." Spike said.

"What?" Angel asked. Spike stumbled to get up.

"Come on mate, let's go get our girls." Spike said.

"But we're drunk." Angel said. Spike shrugged.

"All the better. They'll know we're telling the truth." He said.

"Think they'll get mad?" Angel asked. Spike nodded.

"Probably." He said. They both started laughing.

"Let's go." Angel said. They both helped each other up and headed out of the bar, with their arms around their shoulders.

"Oh Danny boy, the pipes are calling!" They sang in unison. "From glen to glen, and to the sea..." Their voices disappeared as they headed for Stevenson Hall. Willy just smiled, shook his head and started to clean up the bar.
 

Part 2

Buffy sat in her room reading a magazine. Willow was on her laptop looking some stuff up for a spell. Suddenly Buffy heard a crash in the commons room.
Willow looked at her.

“Probably some girls coming back from a party.” She said. Buffy nodded.

“Yeah probably.” She said, then she turned back to her magazine. Then she heard the faint sounds of someone singing. “Do you hear that?” Buffy asked.
Willow shrugged. Buffy opened the door. She could hear the singing a little better. She walked down the hall and into the commons room.

“You’ve lost that lovin’ feeling…” Buffy heard the voices faintly singing so she followed the sounds. “Whoa, that lovin’ feeling. You’ve lost that lovin’ feeling and it’s gone, gone, gone and I can’t go on. Whoa-oh.” Buffy looked and saw Spike and Angel sitting on the couch.

“What the hell are you two doing?” She asked. Angel stood up unsteadily.

“I am your knight my lady. I’ve come to take you to a castle fair.” He slurred. Spike looked at him and laughed. He stood up and pushed Angel aside.

“What he means is we’ve come to win your hands, both of them. Or is it one of each?” Spike asked. Angel looked at him and they both started laughing.
Buffy looked at them.

“You’re both drunk.” She said. Spike nodded.

“Yeah blondie we are and we’re loving it. The poof has never been so much fun.” He said. Buffy turned on her heel and walked back to the room. She
could hear Spike and Angel trying to come after her. She walked into the room and closed the door behind her.

“What’s going on?” Willow asked. Buffy shook her head.

“Look for yourself.” Buffy said. Willow looked at her and opened the door. Spike and Angel looked up at her.

“Your turn man.” Angel said patting his shoulder.

“Hey red.” Spike said. Willow caught a whiff of his breath. Willow looked from them to Buffy.

“Are they drunk?” She asked. Angel looked at him.

“I told you they’d be mad.” Angel said.

“Well red we’ve come to…well you see…” Spike couldn’t seem to pin down what he wanted to say. So he gave up and grabbed Willow’s waist and pulled
her to him. His lips closed over hers. She pushed him away after a second.

“What the hell are you two doing?” She exclaimed. Angel laughed.

“You lost man.” He said to Spike. Buffy stormed over to the door.

“I want you both to leave and don’t come back until you’re sober!” She yelled angrily. She slammed the door on their faces. Willow looked at her.

“Think they’ll really leave?” Willow asked.

“I don’t know.” Buffy asked. She knew that she and Willow both felt the same way. They didn’t want them to go. Angel and Spike looked at each other in shock. They didn’t do anything for a moment.

“Think we should leave?” Spike asked. Angel looked at the door angrily.

“Well I’m not going anywhere!” He said loud enough for Buffy to hear. Buffy sighed in relief quietly on the other side.

“Fine just sit out there forever. I don’t care!” She yelled back. Angel looked at the door defiantly.

“I will!” He yelled. “You have to leave sometime!”

“That is what you seem to be so good at, remember!” She yelled back. Angel glared at the door. He didn’t have a comeback for that. So he sat down
against the wall opposite her door.

“She can’t stay in there forever.” He grumbled. Spike smiled and sat next to him.

“Mate as long as she has a phone and her hairdryer she can hold out just as long as you.” He said. Angel glare turned to Spike.

“Yeah well I notice you didn’t get what you came for.” Angel said. Spike smiled mischievously.

“No but I made my mark.” He said. Willow smiled at the squabble between Buffy and Angel. She had expected it. All she could really think about was the way Spike’s lips had felt on hers. Her fingers brushed over her lips lightly as she remembered the taste and the way she had felt. She sighed and fell on her bed. Buffy looked at her.

“That was some kiss huh?” She asked. Willow nodded dreamily.

“You bet.” She said. Buffy smiled and looked back at the door. She wondered how long they would be out there.
