Notes, Kind of angsty, really very angsty for me I promised Gabrielle I'd write something Buffy-related this weekend.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Willow frowned at her book as the shadow blocked her light. She was supposed to be alone. This was her world, the place where she went when she meditated. She had started using astral projection when she meditated so she wouldn't be disturbed. She was on a heavenly dimension; no one could disturb her here.
Yet, there was the shadow looming over her. Tara had visited once, to tell her it was okay to let go, to love Kennedy. This wasn't Tara though, too tall. The shadow wasn't moving. She was going to have to find out whom it was. Slowly she raised her eyes from the book.
First she saw the black-clad legs and the edge of a leather duster. She let her eyes move slowly up, it wasn't possible the legs could belong to him. He was in Los Angeles, with Angel. Finally reaching the familiar smirk, she couldn't deny it. How was he here though? Spike couldn't travel dimensions.
"Spike?"
"Red," he smirked looking that tree she was leaning against,"A willow tree?"
"I'm here to relax, not be original," she shrugged, "How did you get here?"
"It's a heavenly dimension," Spike sat in the grass next to her, "Kind of surprising but I guess they think I earned it."
"Earned?" Willow asked confused, "What do you.?"
Her sentence trailed off as the meaning of his words sank in. The only way Spike could be here was if he had. "How?"
"We fought them, and lost, Pet," Spike replied, "We're all here."
"Angel too?" She asked tears filling her eyes. She knew she had learned of Buffy's anger toward the vampires too late to save Fred but she hadn't known the others had been in danger too.
Spike nodded, "Wes and Gunn too."
"So now you're all here?" Willow asked, silently vowing to visit this dimension more often, to allow her friends to visit her here.
"Surprised they let vampires in?"
"You're not just vampires," Willow smiled and hugged him, "You're heroes, regardless of what Buffy may think."
The End
