Everything in the first chapter. I don’t own Buffy or any characters, and some lines are taken from the movie Grease.
Author’s Note: Vroom vroom! I will show Buffy’s change to those who asked, don’t worry! Keep reading and reviewing!
Chapter 24
Spike was beyond pissed now. He wasn’t seeing red, but he was getting close. Carefully, he approached Grease Lightnin’ and shot one last glare toward Parker and his gang, before getting into it.
Parker reflected Spike, and got into his car as well. Giving Drusilla one last kiss, he pulled up toward the designated start line, about the same time as Spike.
Rolling down his window, Parker stuck his head out of it. “Listen, the rules are that there ain’t no rules. It’s to the second bridge and back. The one who gets back to this line first, wins.
“Haul ass kid!” Mrs. Murdock screamed from her spot on the sidelines.
“When Drusilla gives us the signal,” Parker told him, “Be prepared to eat my dust.”
Spike just clenched his jaw but kept his cool. He wasn’t going to give Parker any fuel to his fire.
Drusilla waltzed over to her spot slightly in front of the cars. She stood directly between them and took off her blood red silk scarf from around her neck.
In about 3 seconds, she waved the scarf down, and the race was on.

Buffy walked down one of the slanted walls, to a spot away from everyone and up high, where she could see the race take place. She was wearing a white sundress with little blue flowers on it. Slipping off her white flip-flops, Buffy watched the race. ‘No one even has to know I was here,” She thought to herself. For some reason, she couldn’t stay away.
---
“GO SPIKE!” Willow yelled, jumping up and down.
“Yeah, go Zuko!” Angel yelled, trying to keep from passing out.
---
Spike ignored all the screaming coming from Parker’s car. He ignored the metal spike’s coming from Parker’s car and damaging Grease Lightnin’. He drove on the thought that Parker has to cheat to even stand a chance. All that was going through Spike’s mind, was the goal. Keeping his eyes on the road, and his foot down hard on the pedal.
Finally reaching the second bridge, Spike made the sharpest U-turn imaginable in a VW beetle.
“Bite me Zuko!” Parker screamed from his car. He was pissed that Spike wasn’t getting angry or distracted from his little damaging stunts.
Ignoring the whole concept of the race and losing sight of the goal, Parker started chasing Grease Lightnin’. Spike started to slightly drive up the slanted wall, hoping to avoid Parker. Parker was persistent though, and following him. Picking up speed, he rammed into the side of Grease Lightnin’, letting his metal spike damage the car. He had a broad grin on his face.
Still not giving Parker the satisfaction of getting pissed, Spike saw his golden opportunity straight ahead. Using the last burst of energy the car had, Spike made a sharp turn toward the road, getting off of the slant and cutting Parker off.

“Come on baby!” Dru cheered on Parker, hoping that what she was seeing wasn’t a loss in the making for the Scorpions.
“FREAKS!” Some of the Scorpions yelled across the road.
“Your mother!” Willow screamed back, earning shocked looks from her friends. That wasn’t like her at all. Grinning sheepishly, she turned her attention back to the race.
---
After coming down in front of Parker, Spike stepped on the pedal as far as it would go. He floored it, heading toward a makeshift ramp a few feet ahead.
Grinning like a madman, Spike took the ramp head on. Flying in the air, and again cutting off Parker, Spike landed right on top of the finish line. Parker on the other hand, well he had to swerve off to the side to avoid a collision with Spike, and landed in a pothole full of water.

“YEAH!” Xander cheered.
“Alright Spike!” Gunn added grinning wildly as Spike stepped out of the car.
“You were awesome man,” Oz congratulated him, barely changing expression.
“Thanks,” Spike said graciously, looking around at the gang surrounding him, hoping for a head of blonde hair. Trying not to let disappointment take over his features at the lack of Buffy being there, he realized that he didn’t expect any differently. He hurt her. He hurt the girl.
“Spike, man! If I knew you were going to do that great, I would’ve let you drove in the beginning!” Angel joked, swaggering over to him. As he reached Spike to hug him, he ended up falling into him as a wave of dizziness crashed over him.
“Come on man, stay seated,” Spike ordered, helping him to sit on the ground.
Xander and Gunn looked at each other and gave a slight nod before bursting into song and dancing around Spike. “For he’s a jolly good fellow, for he’s a jolly good fellow, for he’s a jolly good fellow…which nobody can deny!”
Spike just let a deep throaty chuckle leave his throat, shaking his head and rolling his eyes at his crazy friends.

Buffy smiled from her spot above, watching the celebration below her.
---Look at me, there has to be,
Something more than what they see.
Wholesome and pure, oh, so scared and unsure,
A poor man’s Buffy---
---
Willow didn’t miss the shining of blonde from up above on the wall. The way the sun reflected off of Buffy’s hair, she shined like an angel. Willow was surprised that no one else saw her.
“Buffy! Buffy!” Willow waved up to her. “Spike won! Isn’t that awesome?”
Buffy looked down at the frantic redhead waving up at her. Giving her a small smile, Buffy waved back. “Yeah, he did.”
Willow ran up the slant to meet her. “What’s the matter? Aren’t you happy?”
“No, not really Wills, but I think I know a way that I can be,” Buffy told her. “I need to go to the mall for some stores and the salon. Can you come with me?”
“Sure!” Willow agreed, slightly pondering what Buffy had in mind.
“Is now okay?” Buffy asked shyly.
“Definitely. We’ll take my car!” Willow offered, as she started to run down excitedly.
---
Buffy smiled at the happy redhead.
---Buffy you must start anew,
Don’t you know what you must do?
Hold your head high, take a deep breath and sigh…-
“Buffy are you coming?” Willow questioned after turning around and realizing Buffy wasn't running behind her.
Buffy just nodded her head and slipped on her flip-flops. Getting up and smoothing down her dress, she ran to join Willow. Willow took a hold of her hand and led her to her car.
---Goodbye to Buffy---
