Part Three
"Come on, you big babies! We've only gotten, what, five or six Vamps tonight?" I sigh. "Get with it!"

"Spike, I don't want to 'get with it', I want to go back to my dorm and sleep."

Her voice really grates on my nerves, you know that? Especially when it gets that I'm-the-Slayer-and-you're-nothin'-but-a-Vampire-that-I-let-tag-along tone.

"Oh. Sorry for wanting you to do your duty, Slayer." I grin as she clenches her jaw. Anytime I mention her duty, she gets all bothered.

She sighs and stops walking. "Well, I'm going home."

"Me, too." Xander. Little whelp. So glad I moved out of his basement paradise. "It's late, Spike."

"I agree with Spike." Anya. Like her. She sees things with my perspective. Guess it comes from bein' a Demon all those years. "Where's the harm in staying out a little bit longer?" Xander whispers in her ear and her eyes widen. "Oh. In that case, let's go home."

That's the only thing I don't get about her. She's with Xander.

Willow's looking at me in her are-you-okay? way. She's had that look ever since they walked in on me trying to stake myself. "Come on, guys. Just a little while longer. It's the only way he can hurt anything."

"Like I want to help him hurt anything," Buffy murmurs and twirls a stake. I've got to give her credit, she is good with those.

"Fine. You all can go home to your little beds and do nothing while I protect the world from evil. It's not like I need you anyway. I mean, I did dust four of the Vampires tonight." I start walking away, knowing she can't resist.

"You saying you're better than me?" Buffy steps forward and she smiles in that cute little way that tells me she's pissed off and would love nothing better than to kick my arse across the graveyard.

Jesus. Did I just think her smile was cute?!

I look at her, then away. She hates it when I don't look at her when I'm talking to her. "Never said that. But let's let the figures speak for themselves. Slayer: One or two; Spike: Four."

"Fine." She's next to me in a flash. "We'll stay out a little longer. And I'll show you why I'm the Slayer and you're the impotent Vampire."

She walks away from me, her cute little behind swaying back and forth.

Oh, stake me. I just thought her ass was cute.
