Summary: In Season 5, The Replacement, Spike mentions the charming lady who runs the tearoom in the local garbage dump. Meet Agnes Pringle, English spinster and reluctant vampire. All Agnes wants is a quiet life but since becoming Spike's friend, that is something she can only dream about. But now she and Spike have argued about the Buffybot and Agnes is sad.
Chapter 18 “Have Cakes – Will Travel”
Business was brisk this evening – Agnes shifted wearily on tired, aching feet and sold the last of the spicy cheese straws that several demons enjoyed. She couldn’t remember the last time she’d had so many customers. Vampire and demon activity in Sunnydale seemed to have increased tenfold over the last few days.
There was a strange atmosphere in town: it was as if the air itself was thicker, darker, even though - if Agnes was to believe the gossip! – the sun shone just as brightly during the day. But even at night, the moon seemed to struggle to illuminate the earth. She’d also noticed that the little birds were absent – the ones she fed every evening with the stale crumbs from her storage boxes.
She’d picked up on all the rumours, of course – hell gods, end of the world, great fun, are you coming?, there’s going to be a party. Several demons had asked for picnic boxes for when the great day finally arrived. They wanted a front row seat but didn’t see any reason to go hungry during the big event.
