"Yeah, you’re not the one and only Chosen anymore. Just gotta live like a person. How’s that feel?" Only a year ago, the world was full of promises for Buffy Summers and her friends. After winning the battle against the First and his army, they had the luxury to fantasize about a normal life, at least for a short while. But now, old and new enemies have allied to squash that dream, Hell bent on tipping the scale back on the side of evil. There is no such a thing as a break for the Slayer, and the Scoobies should have known better. There is one thing the bad guys hadn't counted on though: the love of a vampire for his Slayer.

After Buffy suffered a nasty knee injury on the job, her friends think it would be nice to pay for her to have a little vacation. The problem is, they're all too busy to go with her, except Spike. But what would a vampire do in sunny Maui for two weeks? Heat things up, what else.

I know it's not Christmas anymore, but I hope you still have some Christmas spirit left in you ;) Just when Spike thinks Santa, as well as the rest of the world, forgot all about him, he receives a cryptic Christmas card that might just bring him the Christmas miracle he wouldn’t even dare to wish for in the first place.

Xander got himself a new X-rated soap opera to watch. Ever noticed how soaps are just so damn addictive?
