Summary: Sequel to my story "A Song for Christmas" so I guess you should read that first (don't worry it's not very christmassy and it's not very long so it won't take you ages!). For those who requested a sequel I am so so sorry it's taken me five months to write it! This story will have more Lorne, and the fun of Angel finding out! (tee hee).

Disclaimer - I own nothing, except my imagination.

A/N Just a short interlude chapter just to set the ball rolling...

Chapter 1 - Birthday.

"Buffy? Pet? Wakey wakey." Spike sing-songed into his girlfriend's ear. She stretched and smiled, but refused to open her eyes and acknowledge the morning. "You'll have to get up if you want your presents!"

"Presents?!" Buffy shot up in bed, nearly knocking Spike out of the other side.

"Bloody hell pet! You're 22, not 5! You'd think you'd never had a bloody present before!" Spike growled at Buffy after regaining his balance. She just giggled at him and stuck out his tongue. Spike grumbled and got out of bed, wandering around the room, ignoring his nakedness, looking for a pair of jeans to pull on. Buffy drooled at the sight of his pale, hard body and got out of bed, pulling the sheet around her. She walked over to him and wrapped her arms around his waist, resting her chin on his chest as she gazed into his eyes.

"Don't I get my present now that you're all grumpy? Spike? Honey?" She pulled his head down to hers and kissed him passionately, letting the sheet pool at her feet, deciding to play along with his pretence at huffiness to see what she could get out of it. She soon found out as he growled into her mouth and lifted her up, throwing her back on the bed, quickly following her.

An hour later the two of them noisily made their way down the stairs and into the kitchen, where Dawn was sitting at the counter with her arms folded, growling at them.

"Well it's about time! I'm serious about buying me those earplugs by the way Buffy!"

Buffy blushed and went to fix some breakfast while Spike just kissed Dawn on the cheek and ruffled her hair, unashamed of how he and Buffy showed their love for one another. "Morning Nibblet."

"Wait a minute!" Buffy dumped her cereal on the counter and put her hands on her hips, "Didn't you say something about presents before we, uh, got distracted?"

"Lame sweetheart, but yeah I did. Happy Birthday love." Spike held his hand out to Dawn who passed him an envelope which he then presented to Buffy. " This is from both of us, but you'll get another from me later, maybe along with your one-month anniversary present that you made me buy."

Buffy tore greedily into the envelope and pulled out a handful of slips of paper. "What's this, plane tickets?"

"Yup, we're going to LA Buffy."

"We?"

"Yeah, us, Spike, Xander, Anya, Tara, Willow and, um, that's it." Buffy eyed Dawn suspiciously.

"You sure that's it?"

"Yep" Dawn put on her best innocent face which Buffy rolled her eyes at and ignored before turning to Spike.

"LA huh? Hey, we can go see Lorne!"

Spike nodded casually, waiting to see what else she was going to say.

"I mean, we'll need to go and get him. After all, we did promise to let him be there when Angel found out about us?" Buffy grinned wickedly at Spike who grinned back and pulled her into a bear hug. He'd been waiting for this fun opportunity for a month now. They all had.

"I love you Buffy Summers!"

"I love you too Spike, uh, Spike." Buffy shrugged her shoulders sheepishly as Spike chuckled and whispered to her.

"Hunter love. William Hunter. But don't tell anyone."

She smiled at him and kissed him again. They were going on vacation! All of them, and she couldn't wait!
