Epilogue: One Fine Day (I) (I made some vague references to something from ‘Lovers’ walk’ and ‘Once More With Feeling’)

Sunnydale, 08/21/99


“I’m so excited for this wedding!” Cordelia exulted, being careful not to talk too loudly, otherwise the others would have found them.

“Well, if you are so excited today... I just wonder how you’ll act when it’s the day of your own wedding!” Xander responded, his lips just a few inches away from hers. “By the way, you know what?” the boy went on, putting a hand into the pocket of his jacket. “I’m the best man, so I’m the one who has the wedding rings...” he explained, showing her the two rings. “So, I was thinking, what if we ran away and got married? You and me, hmm?” he smiled at her hopefully.

“Oh, Xan! Well, I’d have to make some phone calls. First to the owner of the bridal shop, because you should know I chose my wedding dress when I was sixteen, and just yesterday I saw a pair of shoes that would go perfectly with it. And then, I’d have to call Harmony, because since we were little girls, we swore to each other that she would be my maid of honour at my wedding as I would be hers at her wedding. And there’s a pretty church, not far away from here, over the hill, and that’s where I want to ...”

“Gee, Cordy, I was just kidding!” Xander cut her off, as he looked at her scared.

“Uh! Of course, I knew that it was a joke, so I was kidding, too!” she justified, but he didn’t seem to believe her, looking at her puzzled. “What about we kiss and forget it all?” she suggested as he had already crushed her lips with his.

**************************** (In the meantime)

Buffy and Willow were walking close by to the altar.

“The wedding is about to start and the best man disappeared with the rings! What kind of maid of honour am I? I should have put more attention...” Willow blamed herself, taking an anxious look around.

“Oh, c’mon, I bet that he’s hiding somewhere in the vicinity with Cordy. They think that them being together it’s a secret, but by now almost all of Sunnydale knows that they are together. So, I’m sure he’s still around, don’t worry...” Buffy chuckled, calming her friend down.

“Guess what?” Willow changed subjects.

“What?”

“I think that we finally succeeded. Miss Calendar and I found the right spell to make Angel’s soul permanent!” the redhead exulted, with a huge grin.

“Really? How?” the blonde asked, grinning widely.

“I don’t know exactly how. You know, we really just changed a couple of words from the ritual and it seems to have worked. It’s been two weeks that he and I’ve been making love... and nothing happens, I mean, there’s no spark coming out from his eyes. That means that now his soul is permanent…” she pointed out, but then her face darkened as another thought crossed her mind. “Or that I don’t make him happy anymore!” she added, upset.

“Oh, Will, c’mon, that’s the hugest crap you’ve ever said. Angel is crazy for you and your love gets stronger and stronger day after day...” Buffy said with her most sceptic look.

“To be honest ... I had already decided it was the first option, I just need confirmation!” Willow smirked. “You know, he didn’t want to do * that* when he was afraid of losing his soul, but now, finally, he did...” she said, unbuttoning the first button of her bridesmaid pink dress, very similar to the one Buffy was wearing.

The blonde already knew what she was going to show her and smiled in anticipation.

“You were right, Buffy...” Willow went on, showing with pride the two small punctures on the left side of her neck. “Vampires purr!” she smiled at the memory.

“I know it’s kinda soon to worry about it, but did you already think about the future? You know... with our boyfriends who don’t age...” Buffy changed subjects again.

“I’ve already thought about that, too. And Miss Calendar and I found a spell for eternal youth and she said I can easily perform it on myself, but I won’t do it until I am about twenty five or twenty-six. After all, now we are only eighteen years old…” she explained with a smile. “Don’t worry, Buffy, I can perform it on you, too. Does that make you happy?” Willow added, sure that she had just given her best friend the most wonderful news ever, but she was very astonished when she saw her shake her head negatively.

“Thank you, Will, but I won’t need it!” she explained.

“What? Are you going to age even if Spike will keep looking young forever?” she wondered confused.

Buffy chuckled.

“Hell, of course not!”

“So, if you don’t want my help... but yet you don’t wanna age either... then how... Oh my! Tell me that you aren’t going to... to...” Willow suddenly realized, panic stricken.

“You guessed right, Will. It’s not just a matter of eternal youth for me; the truth is that, one fine day, I’ll ask Spike to do it. I want his blood to re-birth me, I want to share with him the charm of the night, I want to make him mine as my fangs sink into his neck and we can finally share the so strong and special Sire/Childe bond that he always talks about...” Buffy explained with dreamy eyes.

“But... Buffy, you can’t talk like that, you’re the Slayer, what about your soul?” Willow worried.

“That’s exactly the point, I’m a Slayer and I’ve already asked Giles about that and he told me that when Slayers get turned they always keep their soul. Well, I made it seem just like a simple curiosity of mine, but I guess he has already figured out everything and he knows that he can’t make me change my mind, no one can! Anyway, I don’t know why you’re so shocked about it. It won’t be a big deal, I’ll still be the same old Buffy... okay, same old Buffy with longer and pointer canines, yellow eyes and a very annoying allergy to the sun!” she chuckled.

“You’re right; it’s not such a big deal, after all. What about Spike? Does he already know about your plans?” Willow asked her.

“No, he doesn’t. It’s something that I’ve been thinking of for just a couple of days, that’s why he doesn’t know anything yet. But I guess that I’ll tell him tonight, after the wedding ceremony is over. The atmosphere would be just perfect. By the way, we must stop calling her Miss Calendar, she is about to become Mrs. Giles!” Buffy added.

“Yeah, and I’m so happy for them. They are a fantastic couple!” Willow exulted. “Anyway, Buffy, you’re my best friend, I love you like a sister and everything... but you already know that I won’t have any mercy for anyone, not even for you, when it’s time to throw the bouquet!” Willow warned her, with a combative light in her eyes.

“Me, too!” Buffy sneered.

***************************** (In the meantime)

As they both were still wondering what in hell they were doing there, Angel and Spike had temporarily left the noisy crowd that was full of boring people.

Angel had done it because he couldn’t stand noisy crowds, but Spike had done it just not to be tempted... and eat someone before the Ceremony!

Spike didn’t like the awkward silence that had fallen between them and he wanted to break it somehow.

< I could start by talking about the weather and... Wait. The weather?! Did I really think of saying that? Bloody hell, what? Did I turn into an old man all of the sudden? Why don’t I also talk about the dollar’s quotation, politics and the old war times?> the blond scolded himself.

Finally, he found the perfect subject, something that he actually cared about.

“What about Dru?” he wondered.

“Huh?” Angel narrowed his eyes.

“Dru. Do you have any news about her? The last thing I heard is that she was dating a Chaos Demon, I mean, have you ever seen a Chaos Demon? They’re always so...”

“I know how they look!” the brunette vampire cut him off. “Anyway, fresh news. I heard that now she is in love with another demon, one from Broadway who dances and sings and makes people burn while they dance and sing. His name is Sweet ... or something like that. Anyway, I have nothing against that, as long as they keep far away from our town!” Angel informed him.

Spike chuckled.

“Well, she loves the songs, she loves dancing and she loves the flames, so I guess she has finally found the perfect partner for her...” Spike commented, truly happy for his dear Sire.

All of the sudden, he felt someone behind him. “Anyway, he’s better than the Whelp, no doubt about that!” he added on purpose and Angel nodded.

***************************** (In the meantime)

“Hey! It happens that she found this Whelp to be very, very yummy,..” Xander struck back in a whisper, so he wouldn’t be heard, since Cordelia and he were still hiding there.

“Hey! Very jealous girlfriend here, so stop bragging about your bloodsucker ex!” she snapped, slapping him. “By the way, if nine years from now that mad fangy woman comes back and tries to take you away, well... I’m gonna defend you with my nails and teeth!” the beautiful brunette girl stated.

“Cordy, honey, do you really think it’s proper to talk about teeth... when we’re speaking of a vampiress?” he made her notice, as he kept massaging his now red cheek.

“Oops, you’re right. Well, is the concept clear anyway?” she struck back.

“It’s very, very clear...” he murmured, kissing her.

***************************************** (In the meantime)

“Well, Angel, let’s leave the Whelp and Miss Fashion alone as they keep playing ‘Hide and seek’!” Spike commented, leaving with his Grand Sire, as the two brunettes were shocked by the fact that they had been caught.


(End I)

I hope you’ll still like it! ;) More fun in the next part ;)
