| Title: A Simple Plan Author: Christine E-mail: Xanderette43@hotmail.com Rating: PG-13 right now, R- NC-17 later on. Summary: Dawn takes someone's advice and follows it through. Disclaimer: None of the characters are mine sadly..... I really would've liked to have Spike, but hey what are you gonna do? Dedication: To Spike and Dawn lovers everywhere, and especially to Regina cause she appreciates my craziness. :) Author's Notes: This idea took place after many sleepless hours and thoughts of Spike, lol. Part One Dawn was halfway to Xander and Anya's apartment when the sun went down. She quickened her pace and reached inside her jacket for her stake just in case. She had just rounded the corner of Weatherly Park when she bumped into something and fell down against the hard concrete. She looked up and saw Spike standing there surprised. "Nibblin, I'm sorry, what are you walking so fast for?" He helped her up and brushed the dirt off her back. "It's okay Spike, I was just on my way to Anya and Xander's place." Spike rolled his eyes. "Why are you going to visit that bloody poof for? If I had a nickel for every time I saved that pansy's ass I'd be richer then Bill Gates himself." Dawn laughed. "Spike please no more Xander bashing, at least for a while, he has feelings you know, if he heard half the stuff you've said about him, he'd be pissed and you know it." Spike raised his eyebrows. "And what might the little nancy boy do to me?" "Well he could spend countless hours torturing you with Babylon 5 trivia." Spike laughed. "You're right Nibblin, that would be a nightmare wouldn't it?" Dawn smiled at him. "You bet it would be." Spike put an arm around her and they started walking towards Anya and Xander's place. "Let me at least walk you the rest of the way there, who knows what the hell's lurking out here." Dawn nodded. To the casual observer, it would seem that Spike's arm around her indicated something more then friendship, but she knew that to Spike, it was just a friendly gesture and nothing more then that. She mentally sighed and when she saw the apartment building up ahead she stopped walking. "Spike I think you'd better stay here until I get inside just in case Xander is there." Spike looked confused. "I thought you were going to see Xander though." Dawn shook her head. "Nope, I wanted to talk to Anya." Spike looked even more confused. "What the bloody hell about? Don't tell me she's telling you more of those tales from when she was a demon." "Nope." "Then why are you going there?" Dawn smiled suggestively at Spike. "Wouldn't you like to know." With that she turned and headed up the pathway to the apartments, leaving an utterly confused Spike behind. Sighing, he waiting until she was inside and then started walking again. "That girl always makes me crazy." ****** |
