Laura came in with a birthday cake for Rupert. She had been dating him for a few months now, having met him at one of the new training centers for Watchers. Even though she was still in training, she had already been assigned a new slayer, a young American girl by the name of Jess. One of the new policies of the redone Watcher's Council was to form strong bonds between watcher and slayer, and having them train together since entering the academy was thought to be one way of doing this.
Jess, along with the core Scooby Gang, were all there to celebrate Rupert's birthday as well. Everyone starting to sing the Happy Birthday song while Laura brought in the cake with it's lit up candles.
She set the cake down in front of him. When everyone finished singing, she leaned in to Rupert's ear and whispered, "Make a wish, darling."
He blew out the candles after having thought about it for a moment. "Hey, what did you wish for?" Xander asked, already picking up a knife to cut the cake.
"Don't ask," Willow said, elbowing Xander. "If he tells, it won't come true."
Rupert just smiled and looked out the open window for a moment. He could feel the crisp, autumn air blowing inside. The weather in England had just turned from the rainy summer days to the more biting autumn winds. Soon it would be the first snow, when he could watch the children play in the snow, tossing snow balls at one another and making snow angels.
He looked around the table at everyone, new friends, old friends, and his new love. He thought to himself, I've already got everything I've always wanted.
