I am using them without the permission of the people who do own them who are not going to sue me because I am not making any money off this. Joss Whedon, WB, Mutant Enemy, Kusui and Sandollar own the Buffy characters. DISTRIBUTION: Just ask. RATING: Probably PG FEEDBACK: I would love to know what you all think of this. Please send me feedback. Pretty please. SUMMARY: Okay, well this takes place while Ms. Calendar is still alive, but Angel is evil, so probably Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered. It's another "Angel gets his soul back" story which I wrote to convince myself that Angel could be good again. It's kind of long and I'm sorry about that you all. AUTHOR'S MESSAGE: Okay, I'm back. That's right, you thought you'd gotten rid of me, but you hadn't. Today, the dedication goes out to Tracy, who I think I forgot to thank for sending me the spoilers. Thank you very much Tracy. On with the show The Cure (7/14) Giles put the last book onto the makeshift shelves they'd set up. Buffy picked up her crossbow. "I'm going to patrol. Xander, Cordelia, do you want to go home? Speak now or you're not going home." "No, I'm staying," Xander replied. "Me too," Cordelia said. "Okay, I'll be back in an hour tops," Buffy said, heading out with her cross bow. "No one leaves." ******************* Angel led Dru to Willow's house. Angel looked in the window. "She's not there," Angel said with disappointment. He thought for a moment. "Okay Dru, new plan. We'll split a passerby and wait for Willow to come home." Suddenly, Angel saw a girl with dark hair on the road. He walked out to the sidewalk. "Excuse me, do you know the time?" Angel asked her politely. She turned around and Angel walked towards her. "Umm. . .yeah, it's eight fifteen," she replied. "Do you go to Sunnydale High?" he asked. "Yes, I do," she answered, but looked at him suspiciously. "Do you know Willow Rosenberg? I'm supposed to meet her, but I can't remember which house she lives in," he continued. "Oh, you're a friend of Willow's? She helped me with science last year. Umm. . this is her house," the girl pointed and headed toward the house, "Yup, this is it." While her back was turned, Angel put on his game face. "Thanks," he said as he sunk his teeth into her neck. ***************** Buffy sat on the wall of the graveyard, swinging her legs with her crossbow ready. She smiled thinking about her situation. <> Suddenly, she saw a vampire come out of a grave. She jumped silently to the ground and headed towards it. She aimed the crossbow and reached for the trigger. Then, out of nowhere another vampire grabbed her from behind. Buffy supported herself on the vampire's arms and kicked it in the knees. It let go of her and she quickly shot it in the heart. Then without missing a beat, she shot the other one straight in the heart. Buffy brushed off her jeans and smiled to herself. <> Then she headed back to Oz's. ***************** Jenny fell into the bed the elderwoman had had prepared for her. Jenny was pleased with her progress. She had finished the training and they were almost finished preparing the spell. Jenny lay under the covers thinking about the work she had accomplished. She was pleased and proud of herself. As she drifted to sleep her last conscious thought was <> **************** "Angel, the sun will be up soon, I don't think she's coming home tonight. Let's go home," Dru said. "Let's stop at Buffy's first. I want to know if she's protecting Willow. They might be at the library. Come Dru," Angel instructed grabbing her by the hand and marching in the direction of Buffy's house. End part 7 Please send feedback.

After Catherine was killed by Willow, most of her spells were broken.= =20 Giles had been turned back to flesh. However, Willow was still cursed= by=20 the bite of a werewolf. She had to be chained up every full moon. Xan= der was still a vampire, but, different. Willow started to worry the full moon was coming up soon. But Buffy h= ad not come over to chain her up yet. She had just picked up the phone = to call her when she heard a sound at the window. She turned around to s= ee Xander, so she went to the window and opened it. "Xander, what are y= ou doing here?" asked Willow. "May I come in Willow?" asked Xander. "You never needed to ask be-- Oh, sorry, Yah come on in."Willow repli= ed. "Willow, I know you were expecting Buffy, but she had to talk to Gil= es, and I needed to ask you an important question," said Xander as he climbed in the window.=20 "Sure! But Xander, the moon's coming up," replied Willow. "Oh, right, sorry. I got the chains here if you'll lay down. I'll cha= in you to the bed," said Xander. Willow smiled. "You don't know how long I waited to hear you say that= ." Willow said holding up her hand to stop Xander from saying anything.= =20 "But I know that you love Buffy. I hope we can still be friends." "Willow, you are my best bud. I mean it, we've been friends forever," Stated Xander. "That brings me to why I'm here. Uh... last night I as= ked=20 Buffy to marry me and she said yes. I couldn't think of anyone I wou= ld=20 rather have as a best man, I mean woman. You know what I mean." "Yes! I would be honored Xanderrrrrr," replied] Willow. Her last wor= d ending with a growl as the change became complete. Epilog Part 2 (Asking Giles) Giles turned around form his desk, when he heard the library door ope= n and saw Buffy enter. She looked like she was in a very good mood. He was even more surprised to see her do a double somersault through = the air landing on his desk. She sat down, and Giles found himself asking= =20 "Buffy, what's got you so happy tonight?" "Giles, you know that you've been like a father to me ever since I ca= me to Sunnydale. Letting me stay with you while mom is in a coma," Buffy= =20 said. "And well, here goes. Xander asked me to marry him. I said yes = and I was well, u'know like wondering, if you'd walk me down the aisle?" "Buffy, there's only one answer to give you. I'd be honored to be the one to stand in for your father," replied Giles moving from his chair= to=20 embrace her in a hug. Epilog Part 3 (Talking To Mom) Buffy looked at the clock as she entered the hospital. It was a littl= e past 10 p.m. Just as she begin to wonder were Xander was, she felt a= =20 hand on her shoulder. She turned around to find herself looking into = the eyes of her future husband. Buffy and Xander entered the hospital walking past the desk. The nigh= t nurse the same one who was lifted up and held against the wall decide= d that it was safer to let the Summers girl and her friend into her mother's room, even at this time of night. Buffy carefully opened the door to the room that her mom had been kee= p in since the attack. She moved over to the bed, leaning down she brushed a stray hair from her mom's forehead. Xander came up behind and said, "Buffy. You need to be alone with her= , I'll wait outside." "No! Xander, I need you here with me," said Buffy tears rolling down= =20 her face, "I mean, I don't even know if she can hear me." "She can hear you Buffy. Tell her what you need to." Buffy looked dow= n to see a familiar furry face looking up at her. She turned to see Xan= der looking at her with a strange look on his face. "Buffy did that cat j= ust talk to you?" "I have a name you know, it's Fizzgigg, last of the Feline Mages. As = I was saying Buffy, you have the greatest power of all, love use it,"= =20 said Fizzgigg as he was engulfed in a bright white light. Buffy reached over taking her mother's hand, "Mom remember when you t= old that everyone has a special someone. Well, I found mine. Xander asked= me to marry him and I said yes. Only one other thing could make me more hap= py then I am now. That's if you could give me your blessing,." said Buffy as = the tears ran down her face. She got up and turned to see Xander crying also. "God Buffy! if I could I would do anything to bring her back," said Xander. They had just got to the door when Buffy heard something. She turned around the see her mother smiling. "Buffy, if you love him then there= 's no way I could say no." said Joyce, barely finishing before she is grabbed by too crying teens. Epilog Part 4 (The Wedding) After weeks of searching, Buffy finally found a Priest who agreed to marry them after dark. Xander, had been standing at the altar for what seemed like hours "Willow, what if she changed her mind." "Well Xander, I'm still free," replied Willow with a smile. At that moment the march begin to play. All eyes turned to see Buffy= . Dressed in a long flowing white satin gown with a long lace train trailing behind her. Giles marched down the Aisle with her, arm in ar= m they approached the altar. The Priest began "Dearly, beloved, we are gather here today uh...toni= ght to join this man and woman in holy matrimony. Who gives this woman to this man?" "I do," replied Giles moving Buffy's arm to Xanders. "The couple have wrote their own vows," said the Priest. "I, Alexander Harris, take you Buffy Summers, to become my other half= . For I have found that without you by my side, life isn't worth anythi= ng. I promise to love you more and more everyday. To stand by your side e= ver night. I want you to know that I'd walk through the fires of hell if = you asked me to." Xander Placed the ring on Buffy's finger. "I, Buffy Summers, take you Alexander Harris, to be my other half. I= t was you who shined the brightest in the darkest night. You never left= my side, no matter what the cost. You are my beacon. With you at my side= , the night will never be dark again. I love you more and more everyday. An= d not even the fires of hell will burn as long as my love burns for you." Buffy placed the ring on Xander's finger. The Priest moved back in front of the couple. "If there is anyone her= e who knows of any reason that these two should not be joined, let them speak now or forever hold their peace." When no one said anything the Pries= t continued. "Then, what, God has put together let no one tear asunder.= I now pronounce you, man and wife, you may kiss the bride." Xander reaches down and removed the veil, Buffy and Xander kiss and everyone cheered. Buffy notices that the crystal arm band had started to glow, she and Xander both heard a loud voice that said. "I, am very proud of you my child. I give you this gift of my love. From this day forth your love for each other will keep you together, always. Your life energies are merged your two hearts now beat as one. Go, be happy." The End I know it all happened fast, so if anyone wants to write any stories taking place before the wedding feel free to do so.=20 "One day, I shall come back=85Yes, I shall come back. Until then, t= here must be no regrest, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forth in all your beliefs and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine."
