(The fight rages on. Spike is doing well.)

SPIKE: Getting tired Slayer?

(The fight continues. Xander arrives.)

BUFFY: Xander, get out of here.

(Spike grabs him, knees him in the face, and sends him flying.)

SPIKE: So, you let Parker take a poke, eh? Didn't seem like you know each other that well. What did it take to pry apart the Slayer's dimpled knees?

BUFFY: You're a pig Spike.

SPIKE: Did he play the sensitive lad and get *you* to seduce him? That's a good trick if the girl's thick enough to buy it.

(Buffy flies up and delivers a roundhouse, however Spike follows it with an equally vicious hit that sends her flying forward.)

SPIKE: I wonder what went wrong. Were you too strong? Did you bruise the boy? Whatever. I guess you're not worth a second go. Come to think of it seems like someone told me that. Who was it? Oh, yeah. Angel.

(More fighting, then she grabs the arm with the ring on it. )

SPIKE: Take it off me this way, we both burn.

BUFFY: Really? Let's see.

(She does. He starts to smoke and runs off.)
