Part Two


Anya greeted Dawn at the door as soon as she rang the doorbell.  "Hi Anya!"

Anya smiled at Dawn.  "Dawnie, how are you?"

Dawn stepped into the apartment. "Pretty good. How are you and Xander
doing?"

Anya laughed. "We're good, we just had this amazing round of sex before, and
he did this thing with -"

"That's okay Anya, I *really* don't need to know."

Anya shrugged and then lead them into the kitchen area.  "Want something to
drink?"

Dawn shook her head, "Nah, I just had a coke on the way here, but thanks
anyway."

Anya pulled a chair around the table for Dawn and sat across from her.
"Xander's not home yet, but he should be home soon."

Dawn shook her head again.  "Actually I came here to talk to you. I wanted
to ask your opinion about something that's been bothering me for a long
time."

Anya grinned.  She was so happy that someone actually wanted to talk to her
for once.  Usually everyone that came over wanted to see Xander.  Not that
she was jealous, but there was still a part of her that was lonely from
having few friends. "So what what's bothering you? I bet it has to do with
sex!"

Dawn smiled a little. "Well, that's part of it, but I wanted to ask your
opinion about Spike and I.... I'm kind of in love with him, but I don't know
how to tell him without ruining our friendship."

Anya laughed.  "Dawnie, I don't think you have to worry about ruining your
relationship with Spike! Have you ever noticed the looks he's given you?
They aren't friendship glances, they're 'I want you more then apple pie'
kind of looks.  He's got it bad for you my friend."

Dawn's face went from shock to disbelief within seconds.  "No way."

Anya raised her right hand in the air as if swearing to tell the truth in a
court of law.  "I swear Dawnie, he loves you just as much as you love him.
Trust me, I wasn't nicknamed 'The Love Bitch' for nothing."  She crossed her
arms and smiled smugly.

Dawn's smile widened wider then she thought possible.  "Really?"

Anya nodded. "Oh yes, once in London around the turn of the century, there
was this young woman who's husband cheated on her with a maid, so I turned
him into a mule, but right before I did it, he called me that nickname-"

Dawn interrupted her again.  "No Anya, I meant does Spike really love me? I
just never thought he felt anything more for me then a friend."

Anya shook her head.  "Nope, he loves you."

Dawn grinned and then it faded.  "I'm not sure what to do now though.  I
mean I know he loves me now, but how do I tell him? I'm not sure I can."

Anya thought for a moment, and then her eyes sparkled with delight as she
told Dawn her plan.

"See, when I wanted Xander, I didn't know how to approach him, so I just
went to his place in the basement and...."
