Illumination
AN: I own nothing. Everything is owned by Joss Whendon and comp. Dedicated to my friend Miranda, thanks for the idea.
It was pitch black out. Buffy could barely see a few feet in front of her. All that was visible were the stars overhead. She could hear the far off shouts and the occasional explosion. Buffy's heart was racing, and her breathing became shallow. Ten seconds were left, time seemed to slow. The clock hit zero, and explosions went off all around. Buffy looked up to the sky, and it appeared to be raining fire. She looked over at the person next to her, his face illuminated. Buffy lean over and kissed him as she whispered, "Happy New Year, Spike."
