A Time To Laugh...
A Time To Laugh...
Spike looked down at Buffy smiling. She buried her head under his chin and sighed.
Spike looked up at the stars. For a moment he felt peace. If a vampire could feel peace. No blood lust or hatred no overwhelming drive to do something. Just peace. If every night could be like this. His Love in his arms quiet but he knew it couldn’t. He knew slowly Buffy was slipping away and if he did not do something fast he would lose her for good.
“Daddy?” Buffy asked looking at Spike.
Spike smiled down at her.
“Yes my Perfect Princess.” He said touching his nose to her and giving her an Eskimo Kiss.
Buffy giggled.
“Why doesn’t Daddy sing to me anymore? The Princess likes it when Daddy sings.” Buffy said.
“Don’t know Luv.” He said shrugging his shoulders.
“You used to sing to me before.” She whispered her voice sounded a bit stronger.
Spike held her to him. Her even touch seemed different more intimate. He knew at that moment what had happened.
Spike rocked her back and forth.
“Lizzie” He whispered.
Spike was afraid to look her eyes. Afraid if he did, he would have to watch her fade way again into her cloudy haze.
“I’m here.” She said.
“You’re always here. You’re always with me.” Spike said tears streaming down his face.
She held onto Spike as tight as she could. She held on with all her might, afraid if she did not, that she might fall away.
She closed her eyes and whispered.
“I remember Spike...”
FLASHBACK
__________________________________________________________________
The Bronze was filled to the brim. People were crowded around waiting for The Dare to perform. It had been a long time, the band was not able to get a set together as frequently as they had in the past due to the strict and mysterious schedule of their front man. Everyone assumed it was because of Lizzie. Something Spike did nothing to correct.
Lizzie took a deep breath feeling the same self consciousness she did before she walked out of her house. Even though Dawn told her she looked great and not to worry about leaving her alone with their ill mother. Lizzie was still nervous she wanted to look special tonight. Look amazing for him.
After a long pause Lizzie walked into The Bronze. She saw him standing on the stage checking the sound of his guitar. She watched him for a moment.
Spike stood there fiddling with the knobs on his amplifier. She watched as he stopped almost like he sensed her. Spike looked up and saw her immediately.
He staggered so taken back by the site of her that he held onto the mic stand causing feedback to resonate through the room. Immediately he changed his position making it stop. Apologizing to the crowd.
Lizzie chuckled.
Spike stood there just staring at her God smacked. He watched as she began to blush. She was always perfect, beautiful. But tonight, there were no words that could do justice to how she looked.
She stood there in a pair of black leather skin tight pants and matching spiked heeled boots. Her hair was straight dancing around her shoulders the tips choppy. Her eyes dramatically done in smoky charcoal shades and her lips, her beautiful bee stung lips were painted in a glossy red. Almost the identical color of her top. Her top was a handkerchief glittering top. Red he like red. He loved red on her, it offset her eyes perfectly. He knew she got it for him. He watched as Lizzie turned around slowly showing him her whole outfit.
It was completely backless only a small silver chain crossed her back holding it in place. His eyes drifted down to her hands that were now resting on her hips. He watched as a small silver band reflected off the lights.
It was a ring he had given her a simple band with the design of two dolphins intertwined on the top of it. Lizzie loved dolphins when he saw it he knew it was hers. When he gave it to he, on no special occasion just because, she giggled much like Dawnie did on Christmas. She kissed him passionately and they made love for hours. Later Lizzie said the dolphins reminded her of them.
Spike’s he cocked his eyebrow up and smiled at her wickedly.
Lizzie laughed.
“LIZZIE!” She heard.
Lizzie looked and saw Willow waving her at her and walked over to her.
“Hey Willow.” Lizzie said hugging her friend.
“Wow you look amazing.” Willow gushed.
Lizzie blushed.
“Thanks I wanted to look special for Spike.” She admitted.
Willow smiled at her friend.
“You could be covered in mud and wearing a sackcloth and Spike would still think you looked like an Goddess.” Willow said.
Lizzie smiled looking up at Spike. Spike smiled at his girl.
“I love you.” He mouthed.
“I love you.” She mouthed back.
Lizzie smiled. She did not even bother to look at the other girl’s faces. No longer did she feel scared or insecure about any of them. Spike had made it clear to the world he belonged to Lizzie and Lizzie alone. Everyone knew it. He never looked at any other girls. Spike had been a notorious flirt once upon a time but now he barely spoke to any girl at school unless it was Willow. The rest of the time Lizzie and Spike were wrapped around each other. Even when they sat down Spike would always pull Lizzie into his lap never letting her go. Even when people came to talk to them Spike held her. Since Buffy was so small in his lap, Xander teased Spike saying that he looked more like a chair for her than anything else.
“I’m not a chair more like a throne. For my Perfect Princess while she holds court.” Spike said once.
Lizzie laughed at the statement.
Spike had jumped to his feet and gave her a dramatic bow.
“Perfect Princess Buffy, and I am your humble slave.” He kidded.
Yes there was no question about it. They were each others.
Oz tapped him on the shoulder then blew a kiss to Willow. Willow pretended to catch it and hold it to her heart.
“Thanks everyone for coming out. We’re The Dare.” Spike said.
All the crowd roared loudly.
Spike bowed slightly.
“This one is new something no one has ever heard before, a surprise for my girl.” Spike said smiling at Lizzie.
As Spike strummed his guitar then closed his eyes.
“The way you're bathed in light
reminds me of that night
god laid me down into your rose garden of trust
and I was swept away
with nothin' left to say
some helpless fool
yeah I was lost in a swoon of peace
you're all I need to find
so when the time is right
come to me sweetly, come to me
come to me”
love will lead us, alright
love will lead us, she will lead us
can you hear the dolphin's cry?
see the road rise up to meet us
it's in the air we breathe tonight
love will lead us, she will lead us”
Spike opened his eyes and looked at Lizzie. She was staring at him completely enthralled.
“oh yeah, we meet again
it's like we never left
time in between was just a dream
did we leave this place?”
Spike closed his eyes again and a knowing smile crept across his face.
He lowered his head, looked at Lizzie , opened his mouth slightly taking the tip of his tongue and running it across the tops of his bottom teeth.
“this crazy fog surrounds me
you wrap your legs around me
all I can do to try and breathe
let me breathe so that I
so we can go together!”
Lizzie cocked her eyebrow at him. She pretended to brush her hand against her breast. Spike rolled his eyes back as if he was conveying he was being tortured.
Lizzie laughed and Spike continued to sing.
“love will lead us, alright
love will lead us, she will lead us
can you hear the dolphin's cry?
see the road rise up to meet us
it's in the air we breathe tonight
love will lead us, she will lead us”
Spike put his head down.
“life is like a shooting star
it don't matter who you are
if you only run for cover, it's just a waste of time
we are lost 'til we are found
this phoenix rises up from the ground
and all these wars are over”
Spike looked up his eyes filled with pain. His gazed locked onto Buffy who comforted his angst with her eyes.
“over
over
singin' la da da, da da da
over
come to me
singin' la da da da, da da da
Lizzie got up from her seat and walked over to the stage. Listening to the line of Spike’s song.
“come to me...
love will lead us, alright
love will lead us, she will lead us
can you hear the dolphin's cry?
see the road rise up to meet us
it's in the air we breathe tonight
love will lead us, she will lead us
life is like a shooting star
it don't matter who you are
if you only run for cover, it's just a waste of time
we are lost 'til we are found
this phoenix rises up from the ground
and all these wars are over
love will lead us, alright
love will lead us, she will lead us
can you hear the dolphin's cry?
see the road rise up to meet us
it's in the air we breathe tonight
love will lead us, she will lead us”
When she got to the stage the song ended. Spike got on his knees, swung his guitar on his back and leaned down into the crowd. Lizzie grabbed both sides of his face and kissed him passionately oblivious to everyone else around them.
Spike broke out into a huge smile in the middle of the kiss.
“See what I said before Luv. Got me in the palm of your hand.” He teased.
“And don’t you forget it.” She replied.
Spike reached under her arms and picked her up carrying her on the stage. They kissed again laughing loudly.
Yes there was no question about it. They were each others.

“What would you like me to sing My Luv?” Spike asked.
“Nothing yet. Just tell me you love me.” She whispered.
Spike kissed the top of her head and whispered
“I love you for eternity, Lizzie.”
Spike looked down at Buffy smiling. She buried her head under his chin and sighed.
Spike looked up at the stars. For a moment he felt peace. If a vampire could feel peace. No blood lust or hatred no overwhelming drive to do something. Just peace. If every night could be like this.
