Back to work.

Spike has had a terrible month and is so glad it is over and he can go back to work.
Today, is the first day back.

Spike : I'm leaving for work.
And he gives her a kiss.
Buffy : Do you have to ? I mean, I had so much fun, working in a bank really isn't boring, no matter what you say.
Spike is closing his buttons on his shirt.
Spike : Sorry hon, a deal is a deal, and the deal was doing what you want for a month, and now that month is over, I'm the boss again.
Buffy stands up.
Buffy : Oh, so I'm like your minion now; is that it ?
Spike hesitates.
Buffy : I never was your boss, I only did all of that cause you would know what it is to be in my shoes.
Spike : I'm sorry honey, I'm just nervous about the first day of work.
Buffy : Oh, okay, now get out of here, go play mister workman.
Spike : Bye.
He gives her another kiss and walks out of the door.

When he arrives at work, everybody laughs with him because they think he stayed at home for a month cause he was to scared to come back.
Then he meets his boss again, for the first time since that day of the robbery.

Boss : Hello Spike, how are you doing today ?
Spike : I'm fine, thanks for asking.
Boss : Your wife told me you were so scared after the robbery, that you didn't want to come back, I almost hired her to take your place. She was a good replacement.
Spike : Yes, Buffy is good, as always she's the best.
Boss : Well, euh, lets get back to work. I assume you do want to start again ?
Spike hesitates.
Then he nods.

Boss : Well, okay then, I'll see you at lunch time.
Spike : Yes... Wait. (the boss turns around) Actually, you won't see mee at lunch time. You see, I won't be working here anymore.
Boss : What ?
Spike : I just figured something out, this job is boring, everyone here is boring, you're boring...
Boss : What the hell ?
Spike : Yeah, but Buffy doesn't seem to think so, she enjoys herself here, so you can hire Buffy for a full time job. Cause I quit.
Spike walks away and the boss stands there with his mouth full teeth.

When Spike comes home, Buffy is waiting for him.
Buffy : I got an interesting phone call just now.
Spike : Yeah ? What about.
Buffy : Oh, your boss, he told me you were fired and I was hired. Wich, hey, kind of rhymes.
Spike : Yes, I guess he likes you better. I'm gonna pick up Sarah today, you can celebrate your new job.
Buffy walks towards him and gives hime a kiss and a hug.
Buffy : I love you.
Spike : I love you too.
Buffy walks out the door and Spike makes a phone call.

Spike : Hi, yeah, I did it. I'm out of a job. So I'll be able to come for a few days. That's all. Do you have the bundle?
Woman on the phone : Yes I have the stars my pet. I'll see you when the moon starts to sing.

And Spike puts the phone down...
