A short piece in different people's perspective.                    They are all trying to figure out why Willow and Spike seem so perfectly happy together.   Giles:                    I don't understand. He's a blood thirsty killer. He hates everyone and everything. He tortures people before they die. At least, he used to.That's how he got his nickname. Spike. He drove railroad spikes through the victim's hearts. He's vicious and evil. A vampire whom, by all things I know and learned as a Watcher, should feel no emotion but rage, lust, and hunger. How, then, is he so utterly in love with Willow?   Xander:                   What is with it with my friends? Seriously, first Buffy with Angel, now Willow with Spike. Both dated vampires. I don't get it.  When I first found out about Wills and Deadboy Jr. I laughed. I didn't think she was serious. After Willow refused to speak to me for a week, I learned my  lesson. Also, Fangboy threatened to beat me to a bloody pulp if I made his witch cry again. His witch. She'll never be mine. It's my own fault, I guess. All those years she was in love with me, I went after every other girl except her. Never realized the one who would accept me as I am was right beside me, disguised as my best friend. Now it's too late, she loves him. Him, not me, never again will she love me. I've lost her...   Buffy:                   They expect me to rant and rave. I guess I should, but they look so happy together.I saw him the other night, on patrol. I slammed his head into a light pole, told him if he EVER hurt my best friend I would pour  instant-tanning oil on him, douse him with Holy Water, hang him from a flag   post and sit there, shoving nails in him as the sun rose. I think he got the picture. Now if the others would just get over it....
