From what I've read, Spike and Buffy won't be with each other much longer. But I can understand why, even though I love them together. Buffy spent so much time with Spike because he made her feel, so it is only natural that she would keep returning to him. Eventually though, she's going to have to break out of this depression, she has gotten better, and when that happens, she wont need spike in the same way. He's still useful to the group, but Buffy needs to move on. I can't see the two of them being a great love story. I wish it would work, but I don't see how. ::water::
