Valley of the Queens. Clone City. Out on an upper terrace.

Ang leans back against the sun-warmed stone and wriggles her toes inside her shoes as she listens to her computer tell a story about a little chicken who went to town and saw a clown. It's a rhyming story, simple and catchy, and she's enjoying it very much. And up here there's no one to complain about her listening to it twelve times in a row. Present is curled next to her, asleep and purring.

Spike approached slowly, a small crown of flowers he'd made clutched in his hands.

"Ang?" he said tentively, nervous about how she'd react to him being gone so long.

He grinned in relief and sat by her, kissing her forehead.

"Hey, sweetheart, I brought you something," he smiled, offering her the crown. He'd missed seeing her, she was so beautiful.

He smiled and hugged her.

"Am now," he said, then bit the corner of his lip. "I'm sorry I was away for so long. Some friends needed my help."

"They're all fine now, luv, don't fret," he smiled. "They won't need my help again for a long, long time."

"Well... I was thinking of finding a place around here," he said, looking around. "You know, so I can be closer."

"It was home," he shrugged. "It's not too dark, luv, we put lots of pretty lights everywhere to make it homey."

Spike smiled and picked up the kitten, petting her. "Hey,pet, missed me?" he said.

"Why've you been sad, luv?" Spike frowned and skritched behind her ears. "You've got a nice home and Ang around, there's nothing to be sad about."

Spike smiled and stroked her, then kissed Ang's cheek.

"Missed you, luv," he said softly.

"What wrong?" he frowned, sensing the tears.

"I won't leave again, pet," he said softly, hugging her firmly. "I promise."

"Well, that's the grand thing about it. I wrapped up my work, made the place safe, and told all my friends that I was off to be with the most beautiful, sweet girl in the universes. They were happy to let me go," he murmured.

"Nope. They've forgiven me, and we're all best chums again. But now it's important for me to be here, to be with you," he said, stroking her hair.
