| You've Got Vampire Part 2: Stronger Connection by Scott Author's Notes: Dawn Summers (DangerGrlDS) and Spike (BigBadSpike) are not owned by me. Joss has that considerable honor. Some guys have all the luck. Spoiler Alert: Spoilers for Season 5's The Gift, but they're pretty vague Rating: Well, let's go with PG-13, just to be safe. Story Type: Spike/Dawn friendship, although that is beginning to change Summary: In the sequel to "You've Got Vampire", Spike and Dawn meet up again online, and find their friendship deepening. DangerGrlDS: Hey BigBadSpike: Hey yourself, little bit. What's got you up so late? DangerGrlDS: couldn't sleep. How come you're not out prowling? BigBadSpike: This bloody internet business. There is a site for damn near everything. DangerGrlDS: heehee! you're an internet junkie! BigBadSpike: am not! but, bloody hell, did you know there are sites where you can see hamsters dance, buy edible underwear, or sell your damned soul?? DangerGrlDS: and you just had to visit them, didn't you? ;-) BigBadSpike: :-P BigBadSpike: So, couldn't sleep, hmm? Everything ok? BigBadSpike: Bit? DangerGrlDS: yeah BigBadSpike: are you ok? DangerGrlDS: not really... BigBadSpike: What's wrong? Tell me DangerGrlDS: had a nightmare. BigBadSpike: Wanna talk about it? DangerGrlDS: everybody i care about...Buffy..mom...Willow, Xander, everybody...died. there was so much blood...i couldn't stop it. They were dying because of me...trying to protect me. then they all got up and came after me...angry because they had to die for me BigBadSpike: you're still blaming yourself, love DangerGrlDS: can't help it BigBadSpike: Yes, you can. You did nothing wrong. your sis knew the risks, knew what had to be. any of us would've done what she did. DangerGrlDS: There was something else in the dream. You appeared, out of nowhere...and you saved me BigBadSpike: kinda nice to be the hero for a change DangerGrlDS: you are a hero...to me BigBadSpike: You're sweet, love...but your sister was a true hero. I'm just a sorry bloke who got microchipped into good-deed land. DangerGrlDS: Oh, your chip, your chip. That thing is your excuse. BigBadSpike: I beg your pardon? DangerGrlDS: You could be just as evil without that stupid thing in your head...you just wouldn't be able to do physical harm to people with your own hands. DangerGrlDS: I think you do good things because something inside you tells you to. BigBadSpike: That's called greed, love. Self-preservation. DangerGrlDS: whatever BigBadSpike: calling me a liar, are you? DangerGrlDS: yeah ;-) you are so transparent! You're good, and you just don't wanna admit it. BigBadSpike: Am not! DangerGrlDS: Are too :-P BigBadSpike: I'm bad! Evil and dangerous! DangerGrlDS: Sure, you are BigBadSpike: You keep messing with me, bit, and I'll... DangerGrlDS: You'll what? Tickle me to death?
