      The next few days went by kind of slow for Buffy. She was still trying to get used to the new town while getting the betrayal of her best friend out of her head. She really wasn’t mad at Riley, they had been each other’s safety nets, but not really passionate about each other. The fact that her best friend in the world had gone behind her back like that is what kept torturing her. She’d convinced her sister not to say anything to their new friends about the break-up. She didn’t want to see the pitying looks that she knew that she’d get. She also didn’t want to see Spike’s face when he found out. Spike had apologized for being so abrupt with Buffy, and they’d finally started to get along with each other despite the physical attraction. Friday, they had plans to leave school together and go to the park for a cook-out. When they were walking to the parking lot together, they found a girl leaning up against Buffy’s car. The group were going to take her SUV together and then come back for the rest of the cars. Buffy crossed her arms in front of her and took a step forward.
“Jen, you’ve got a lot of nerve showing up here like this. You’re lucky I don’t drop kick your ass off of my car.” Jennifer gave her friend a pained look.
“Buffy, I came down to try and apologize to you. I never meant for this to happen. He came over to my house after you told him you were moving and he was devastated. It just sort of escalated there, we didn’t mean for it to happen.” There was a collective gasp between the new friends. Dawn stepped forward to stand by her sister.
“Jen, you need to get out of here right now. Real friends don’t do that to someone. You’ve always been jealous of Buffy, everyone always noticed it, so when you saw your chance, you took it.” Jen turned and gave Dawn an ugly look.
“Beat it brat, this has absolutely nothing to do with you.” Buffy unfolded her arms and walked a step closer.
“She’s my sister, Jen, and a better friend to me then you ever were. I hope the two of you are happy with each other. I just can’t wait to see the family photos of the three of you…if it’s even his.” Jen sucked in a breath.
“Buffy…please don’t throw away our friendship over this. We’ve been best friends since kindergarten!” Buffy felt a tear slip down her cheek at her words.
“Apparently we weren’t friends, Jen. You threw the friendship away as soon as you slept with Riley, not me. You did this all on your own. The sad thing about it, Jen…I’m not mad at Riley. It’s the fact that it was you who did it, I’ll never be able to get over that.” The girl bent her head and nodded. She didn’t say anything else, just walked away. Buffy couldn’t hold the floodgate any longer. She turned on her heel and ran back into the school to the bathroom.
        Buffy locked herself in the last stall of the girls’ bathroom, completely in pieces. Jennifer had been the best friend she’d ever known and to have her betray her like that. What Dawn had said was true, but Buffy had always ignored it. Jen had always been jealous of her life, though she didn’t see the arguing that went on behind closed doors. When Buffy heard the bathroom door open, she stifled her sobs. She heard several pairs of feet come into the bathroom and Buffy lifted her feet off of the ground so they couldn’t see which one she was in. There was a knock on the stall and Buffy heard her sister’s worried voice.
“Buffy, please open the door and let me in. You don’t have to go through this alone.” Buffy grabbed some toilet paper and began to wipe her eyes.
“I’ll be fine in a minute, Dawn, just give me a minute.” She heard Dawn sigh and then she heard Cordelia’s voice.
“Buffy come on out, we’ll get you fixed up again so the boys don’t see. You don’t have to explain what just happened, just let us be here, okay?” Buffy couldn’t believe that these people who didn’t know her wanted to help her through her crisis. Stepping off of the toilet, she unlocked the door and saw three pairs of worried eyes. Willow smiled softly at her once she came out of the stall.
“You’ll be okay, Buffy, we’re here. I know you don’t really know us that well, but we’d like to think of you as a friend. Cordy and I don’t let friends suffer in silence.” This got Buffy to laugh a little, causing them all to smile.
“Thanks guys, I’ll be alright in a minute.” Cordy stepped up and took her hand.

“Okay Buffy, I have just about all the make-up known to man in this bag, let’s fix your eyes, okay?” Buffy let Cordelia fix her makeup and when she was done, it didn’t even look like she’d been crying. She even had eye drops to clear the redness. Once they were finished, Willow looked over at her.
“We can postpone the cook-out if you want, Buffy. We can always do it another time; it’s not a big deal.” Buffy shook her head and took a deep breath.
“I’m fine, it’s okay.” They started to head outside to the parking lot again when Buffy stopped them.
“Thank you guys.” Cordelia and Willow just shrugged and the four girls walked outside to the waiting boys.
                       **************************************
        No one had said anything about what they’d witnessed, and for that, Buffy was immensely grateful. When they got to the park, they found Connor, Angel’s brother, Fred, and Oz waiting on them. Willow’s face lit up at seeing Oz there. She’d invited him casually and she hadn’t been sure if he’d go. Dawn looked over at her sister briefly when she saw that Connor was there. Buffy had told her to go ahead and not to worry about her. Buffy was sitting at the table by herself, watching everyone cook and laugh with each other, when Spike sat down beside her.
“I know I shouldn’t say anything, but I’m going to. Are you alright, pet?” Buffy looked over at him with a sad smile.
“I’ll be fine, I think. Like I said, it’s not that it was Riley…it’s that it was her.” Spike nodded his understanding.
“I can’t imagine what that must feel like, but I just want to say that I’m sorry that you’re friend did that to you.” Buffy looked down at her hands and smiled again.
“Thanks, Spike, you guys have been really great.” Spike shrugged and stood back up.
“We just really value friendship, Summers. Most people don’t, you know.” He went back over to his friends and Buffy watched him go. Dawn plopped down across from her.
“He’s really hot, Buffy, you thinking about a rebound?” Buffy looked up at her sister in surprise.
“Dawnie, that’s not funny! You think Spike is hot?” Dawn giggled and shrugged.
“He’s definitely eye candy, that’s for sure. Anyway, guess what Connor just asked me?” Buffy sat up straight with a raised eyebrow.

“Just what did he ask?” Dawn rolled her eyes at her attempt at scary big sister.
“He asked me if I wanted to go to the movies with him this weekend. I told him sure.” Buffy laughed excitedly with her sister.
“That’s awesome, Dawn! I’m really happy for you.” Dawn nodded and looked back over at Spike.
“You should seriously think about a rebound.” Buffy rolled her eyes again and stood up. She walked over to where the group was getting things set up. Angel looked up from the grill with a big smile on his face.
“How’s it going, Buffy? Hey, are you up for a game of softball later? There’s a field right across the street that we usually play in.” Buffy wasn’t much of a sports person and she wrinkled her nose. Spike came up behind her with a laugh.
“Come on then, you’d make the teams off if you don’t play.” Buffy sighed and thought about it. What could it hurt to try and hit a ball?
“I’m not making any promises that I’m any good, but I’ll give it a shot.” This got a huge grin from Spike which caused Buffy to laugh. Both missed the look that Angel and Cordy shared.
                      ***************************************
        The next day Buffy didn’t feel like doing anything. Dawn had let the incident with Jen slip to their mom and she was all about the sympathetic looks. Buffy decided to take a walk around the town so she put on her tennis shoes and started down the street. It was a really nice neighborhood, there was no denying that. It was a small town and it definitely had a certain charm that Buffy was beginning to like. When she got to the end of her street, she took a right and went onto the street behind her house. She was about halfway down when she saw a familiar black Desoto in one of the driveways. Buffy’s pulse quickened at the sight of it and she decided to head back to her house. She was a little ways away before she recognized that someone was calling her name. She turned to see that Spike was jogging towards her.

“Oy, what are you doing over here?” Buffy blushed slightly but pushed it away. She was just walking; she had every right to be on this street.
“I was just going for a walk, been a slow Saturday.” Spike smirked really big.
“You’ve walked an awful long way from home, luv.” Buffy turned around and started walking down the street again with a roll of her eyes. Spike laughed and fell into step beside her.
“Where are you goin? You want to watch a movie or something since you’re here?” Buffy stopped and turned to look at him again. Spike held a straight face as he looked at her.
“It’ll be alright, I promise. My parents are home, so I won’t try anything funny.” Buffy laughed and followed him back to his house. He held the door open for her and when she passed by him, their bodies brushed up against each other. Buffy fought to control the fluttering that was going on within her. Once they were standing in the living room, Spike took her hand and led her to the kitchen, where a woman was standing at the stove.
“Mom, this is Buffy Summers, the girl I was telling you about. Is it cool if she comes up to my room for a movie?” Jenny Pratt turned around and smiled at Buffy.
“So you are Buffy Summers. My William has told us so much about you. Can you stay for dinner?” Buffy turned to glance at Spike, who had turned a dull shade of pink. Buffy held back the grin she felt coming on and faced his mother again.
“I’d like that a lot, thank you. I’d have to ask my mom though.” Jenny’s smile just got bigger.
“Of course dear, by all means.”
