"How's the lady doing?" William's mum asked when he came into the kitchen.
"Alright I guess. She said she was a little hungry, so I came to see if that food was ready?" William said as he felt his face warm at the slight mention of Buffy.
"So, did you two talk about anything of interest?" William's mum, also known around the town as Ms. Preston, asked as she got Buffy's plate ready.
"This and that. She asked about father and told me her name." William said.
"Oh, she did. What is her name?" Ms. Preston asked sounding more interested than William thought he wanted her to.
"Elizabeth Summers, but she said her friends call her Buffy. She's American, but that's about all I know." William said not wanting to add the part about her being from the future, especially since he wasn't completely positive about whether or not he believed her. He also knew his mother would call the doctor if he talked like that.
"She sounds nice. Alright, here you go, this should fill her up especially since she seems quite skinny, find out when the last time she ate was she doesn't look like she's eaten in days." Ms. Preston said handing William the plate and half getting lost in her thoughts.
William was about to knock on the door, since he wasn't completely sure if she was awake, when he saw her give a yawn.
"Are you still hungry, Miss Summers?" William said as he slowly approached the bed.
"I told you to call me Buffy. You make me feel like I'm in high school again and let's say those probably were the worst years of my life." Buffy said as she grimaced as she thought back to high school.
"Sorry, it's just my mum taught me that I really shouldn't call women their first name. Old habit I guess. How old are you if you don't mind me asking?" William asked and by this time Buffy had already started to eat.
"That's fine. I'm about 20 and you?" Buffy asked him.
"Um, 16. Are you enjoying the food?" William asked and Buffy could tell he wasn't feeling hesitant about his age. Buffy had a hard time believing that this was the same blond headed vampire she was an enemy with.
"Wow, that's, wow. Sorry, please don't ask, I don't think I would be able to explain it to you." Buffy said apologetically.
"Alright. Oh, I'm sorry about this, but Mother told me to ask. She wants to know when the last time you ate was since you seem so skinny." William said blushing a little.
"That's ok. Let's see about seven o'clock at night in my time and I got knocked out about nine o'clock so I guess not that long ago." William just stared at her and Buffy had a hard time telling what he was thinking.
"May I be so bold and ask why you're so skinny if you ate not so long ago?" William asked blushing even more.
"Well in the year 2000 women exercise and I do a lot of it." Buffy said not sure she should really give him to much information about the future.
"Wow. I should be getting to bed now. I have to get up quite early but if you want you can sleep in." William said as he got up.
"Alright, thanks I guess. I'll probably need it since back home I don't sleep in a ton." Buffy said hoping she wouldn't have any of her nightmares she had when she was home.
"Good night, William. Same to you about the sleeping well." Buffy said and William blew out the candle and left the room.
~"Hello, Slayer." A voice from behind Buffy said.
"Spike." Buffy said as she turned to see the semi-tamed vampire staring at her with his deep blue eyes.
"All alone. You should have a strong man with you. Where's Captain Cardboard?" Spike said grinning mischievously.
"His name's Riley and he's on a mission, not that it's any of your business." Buffy said heatedly.
"What think I'll go tickle him to death. That wouldn't be worth it. He'd be too happy." Spike said grinning his cocky grin.
"Go away, Spike. I don't need this right now. You know that." Buffy said, her voice filling with sadness.
"Buffy, you don't need to be alone not when you're going through this. Trust me on this, this is not the time to be alone." Spike said sincerely.
"How can you know that? You killed you're mom." Buffy said angrily.
"Killed her so she'd get better, luv. She was really sick before that. I ended up having to kill for good though because as you put it was hitting on me." Spike said heatedly but when Buffy looked into his eyes she saw sadness.
"Fine come. Don't expect me to talk much." Buffy said not sure why she had done that.
"Thanks. You don't have to." Spike said snidely and then he bit her.~
