A/N: This was written for the Slash is Sexy Spike mini-Slashficathon. Once again I was little miss procrastination and didn't write this early. I waited until I barely had a day left. That being the case, it was rushed and I apologize if it reads that way. What surprised me was that it actually came out the way I'd pictured it. No weird plot deviations or the scene taking off in some odd direction all on its own, it stayed where I wanted it. That's a first. I'm also not disappointed with it, somewhat happy, actually, with how it turned out. That's not a first, but it's not common either and it's fun when it happens.

Not betaed so any mistakes are my bad.

Takes place during the Bronze scene of the second season episode, "School Hard". The premise: what if Spike hadn't found Buffy right off? What if he'd had to look around for a bit?

Pairings(s): Spike/Xander, Drusilla/Spike
