Thank you all for your interest in this fic! It definitely made me write faster... This is a short one, mostly setting the scene. The next chapters are longer. I will be updating weekly. Enjoy!

This is all I've got written,and since I'm focusing on finishing Real Me right now, I'm not positive that I'll have more ready by next week. Hopefully, I'll find the time to write both fics, but I make no promises...

Notes: So I didn’t want to make this all lyrics-ey, because more often than not that comes out cheesy. Instead, I will be inserting a few couplets , or sometimes nothing at all, at some points when they sing, and hopefully it won’t be too much of a mess… :D It does read differently than most of the other chapters, though.

Oh, and some lyrics and a lot of the end dialogue taken from “Once More With Feeling,” with thanks to the Buffyverse Dialogue Database for their transcripts!

A teeny bit of Spike/other here- but I don’t have any more planned for the rest of the fic, I swear! :D

Before everyone jumps on me for the twisted character that is this Willow, I just want to assure you all that there is reason for her behavior, irrational as it is. It will eventually come to light. :)

No, I'm not done with the fic yet, but I've been suddenly assailed with writer's block and really need a boost, so I'm posting this one early. :) I'll still be updating on Saturday, of course!

Thank you all for the amazing feedback that I've been getting! There's nothing better that you can give to a writer to keep her going. (Except money. I'll take money.) And now, it's a Prodigal wedding spectacular, double the length, quadruple the fluff! Enjoy! :D
