This chapter is now officially rewritten! It sucked before, coz it wasn't really any different than the episode Something Blue except a few added dialogues. Now I think it's more my own stuff than that so…I hope you guys like it better! Also, I wanted to rewrite it, because I think (hope) my writing has improved along the later chapters, and I didn't think this sucky chapter was a good way to start the story because people who will be reading it for the first time will be like, oh this story sucks I'm not gonna read it…so, I rewrote it! I left a lot of stuff the same as it was in the original one, but I think it's better now…

Disclaimer: I own nothing of the Buffyness…
Spoilers: Maaaajor Something Blue spoilers for this chapter, so beware!

This story takes place after I will remember you, only the Mohra demon doesn't say all that stuff about the end of days etc. So just pretend that the episode ended when Buffy killed the demon (without him saying that stuff), and Angel is still human.

Giles entered the living room of his house, after trying to get information out of Spike, but it just wasn't much use without Buffy. Not that she was getting anywhere with him. Spike was such an irritating vampire; it was like talking to a brick wall. Only brick walls were more fun to talk to, because they didn't reply with sarcastic and annoying comments. There was a knock on the door, and he opened to reveal Willow, looking worried.

"Hi Giles." She said, trying to sound cheery.

"Willow, hi, come in." Giles said and he stepped aside to let Willow in, who walked to the couch and sat down.

"So any word from Buffy?" She asked anxiously.

"Well, erm, no." Giles said, and he took off his glasses to clean them.

"She's been gone for two days! She said she was just going to see Angel to tell him not to go around her back anymore. Do you think something happened?" She said, worry evident in her voice.

"I'm not sure."

"I mean, she would've called if she was staying longer, wouldn't she?"

Just as Giles was about to reply, to door opened and Buffy entered the house.

"Buffy!" Willow cried as she jumped up. "Where were you? What happened, did something happen?"

"Willow, calm down." Buffy said with an amused smile. "Nothing happened – well, something happened, but nothing of the bad."

"Something that took you two days to come back? What?"

A huge grin spread across Buffy's face. She sat down on the couch, followed by Willow. "Okay. So, I come to LA. I talk a bit to Angel, you know. And all of the sudden this demon crashes through the window and attacks us –"

Giles' head perked up. "Oh, are you alright?" He asked with a concerned frown.

"I'm fine Giles." Buffy said with a smile. "So anyway, it got away, so we followed it. Angel and I split up and I went to look for it at the beach. After a little while, I turn around and I see Angel walking up to me! In broad daylight!" She said excitedly.

Willow and Giles gape at her. "But…how?" Willow asks softly.

"He was wearing the Gem of Amara you gits!" Spike yelled from the bathroom, having heard all of it with his vampire hearing.

Buffy rolled her eyes. "No he wasn't, he destroyed that." She said back and turned her attention back to Willow and Giles, who were still gaping at her. "Turns out, the demon that attacked us had very powerful blood, and when it was accidentally mixed with Angel's blood, it made him human."

"Dear lord." Giles let out, taking off his glasses again and started cleaning them briskly. "Wh – what kind of demon was it?"

"A uh…Mohra demon. Angel thought he killed it, but it came back, so I killed it by smashing the jewel thingy on it's head."

After staring at Buffy in sort of a state of shock, Willow snapped back to reality. "So Angel is human now?"

Buffy nodded her head, and the grin reappeared on her face. "Yup!"

"And you're back together?"

"Well yeah."

"Oh my god this is huge!" Willow exclaimed, suddenly as excited at Buffy. "So where is he now?"

"Oh he's still in LA. He's gotta take care of a few things there before he comes back here."

Giles stood up. "B – Buffy I don't think it's wise of you to jump back into this relationship when you cannot be entirely sure this thing is permanent."

"Giles we checked it out. Angel went to the Oracles – they're these guys that speak for the Powers that Be – and he asked if it was permanent, and they said it was. That he was released from his fealty or something."

"Oh well t – that's good." Giles said as he sat back down. "But I still say you should be cautious. I'll do some research on this Mohra demon, as a precaution."

Buffy smiled at Giles's concern. "Thanks Giles."

"Oh Buffy this is so great! You finally get to be with Angel in a normal relationship!" Willow beamed, but actually feeling jealous of her best friend. She got her Angel back…but where was her Oz?

"I know, it's so amazing!"

Giles smiled. "Alright, now that we've all recovered from Buffy's news, I think it's about time we start hearing Spike out about what information he has on the commandos. I would like him out of here as soon as possible; he's been driving me insane these past days."

"Sorry Giles. I'll get on it right away." She said with an apologetic smile.

"I'll hit the books to see if there's a way we can get him to talk, if he's, you know, not talking." Willow said, and they get up.

Buffy and Giles entered the bathroom where Spike was lying chained up in the bathtub. "So the big poof is human now is he? Must be a dream come true for the lot of you." He said sarcastically. He was really fed up with having to lie here all day, being interrogated by this annoying lot.

"Shut up Spike. Tell us what you know about the commandos."

"I'm not really sure. You've got to be more specific with your questions." Annoying these white hats seemed to be the only thing he was still capable of these days, so he was bloody well gonna do it!

Buffy let out an exasperated sigh and sat down on the edge of the bathtub. "Fine, what did they look like?"

"Don't know, they had the army clothes on, and I saw their faces but that's all."

Giles rolled his eyes and went to the kitchen to get some blood.

"So, you saw their faces but you can't describe them?"

"Well, they were human. Two eyes each, kind of in the middle." Spike said playing coy.

"Uhuh." Buffy said, getting annoyed. "And the lab?"

"Underground." Spike said, and sighs. "I don't know exactly where, I came out through an air vent. I'm done. Put the telly on." He said and stretches his neck to see the TV.

Giles re-entered the bathroom with a blood-filled mug that said "Kiss the Librarian".

"It's about time! Hope you got it warm enough." Spike exclaimed.

Buffy took the mug from Giles and leaned down so Spike can drink from the straw that was protruding from the mug. She wrinkled her nose in a disgusted look as Spike hungrily started drinking the blood.
He stoped drinking for a second and looks at Buffy. "I don't know why you're so dainty all of the sudden. You've done this for Angel, you must have." He said, and continues drinking right before Buffy snatched the mug away.

"Hey! Give it!" He said with the straw between his lips.

"That's it! The invalid routine is over. The kitchen is closed until you can tell us something useful about the commandos." Buffy said and put the mug out of reach.

Buffy walked through the halls of school, on her way to her next class.

"Hey Buffy." She heard Riley's voice behind her and turned around.

"Hi Riley." She said without too much enthusiasm. She used to like Riley…a little. But with Angel back into her life she wasn't really up to dealing with Riley swooning over her.

"I was looking for you the other day." He said, not noticing the tone in her voice.

"Really?" Buffy asked, trying to sound interested.

"Yeah, see I was planning on asking you out…but when I practiced it kept ending up sounding really stupid, so I was wondering if maybe we could start out with a picnic?"

"A picnic?" She asked skeptically. And did he just say he practiced? She almost felt sorry for him. Here he was, probably trying to ask her out, thinking she was still single and all when she just got back together with the love of her life. Oh well, he'll just have to deal.

"Yeah I was thinkin' — do you ever hang out at Rhode's field? It's beautiful there. Usually not that crowded, either. I thought maybe we could have a little spread — sandwiches, maybe some ants? It'll be fun."

Buffy frowns a bit. "Oh, Riley, you know that sounds real nice, but…" She sighed as she saw Riley's hopeful face. "I'm kind of involved with someone…" She trailed off when she saw Willow approaching looking really sad. "Uhm, will you excuse me for a second?" She asked and she walked over to Willow without waiting for an answer, happy to have an excuse to get away from him.

"Hey Will, are you okay?" She asked softly.

Willow took a deep breath. "Well, I'm not good, but I'm a little, tiny, teensy bit better than last night."

"It'll be better." Buffy promised as she put her arm around her friend and they started walking towards the next class.

Life wasn't fair. Oz was gone and he wasn't coming back, her 'I will it so' spell hadn't even worked, and now her friends didn't have time for her anymore either. Couldn't they see how much pain she was in? But no, Buffy had to go after Spike. It wasn't even like he could do anything with that thing in his head! "Spike's more important than me. I get it." Willow said insulted.

"Buffy's gotta find out what's up with those commandos. Right now she needs Spike." Xander said trying to ease Willow's hurt.

"Well, fine. Why doesn't so just go marry him?" She said sarcastically and her eyes went blue-glowy as she unknowingly made something happen with the 'I will it so' spell she didn't think had worked.

Buffy stood up straight from threatening Spike as she suddenly felt something surge through her. She took a good like at Spike and al of the sudden she felt undying, beautiful and passionate love for him, really wishing they'd get married someday soon. She quickly removed the ropes from around his body and freed him. He got up and kissed Buffy passionately, suddenly feeling a strong urge to touch her, hold her in his arms and keep her his forever.

"Here, sit down." He said gently, and got down on one knee as Buffy sat down on the chair, looking expectantly at Spike.

Spike searched his pockets for something, and when he didn't find anything, he pulled off his own ring of a skull and held it up for Buffy. "Buffy," He started, "We've known each other for a long time now, and, I think it's time for us to take the next step. Will you marry me?"

Just then Giles stepped out of the bathroom. "If the two of you could remain, civil, long enough to adj-" He stopped talking when he saw the scene in front of him.

"It's just so sudden. I don't know what to say." Buffy said with tears forming in her eyes.

"Just say yes, and make me the happiest man on earth." Spike said looking at Buffy with honest and hopeful eyes.

"Oh, Spike! Of course it's yes!" She said happily, and they both got up and kissed and hugged.

Giles took a step forward, taking off his glasses, trying to comprehend what just happened. Then Buffy saw him. "Giles! You'll never believe what's happened!" She said as she held up Spike's ring that was now around her finger.

"It's just not fair." Willow said as she flopped down on a chair in front of Xander.

"Willow, I know it's hard to see it right now, but everything you're feeling is because of you and Oz. Not because of Buffy and me or anybody. But eventually you'll meet somebody else, and it'll be better."

"Yeah, coz most relationships are great, and trouble free. I don't think so. I think we're all doomed to badness." Somewhere she knew Xander was just trying to help, but right now, he was just making her mad. Why couldn't he just see in how much pain she was?

"We're not doomed."

"Oh right, Buffy and Angel, but that's only by accident."

Xander blinked confused. "What? What's with Buffy and Angel?"

Willow sighed. "Angel's human so they're back together."

Xander's eyes grew big. "What? Human? How?" He asked as an involuntarily twinge of jealousy shot through him. It wasn't that he was still in love with Buffy anymore, that was years ago. He just didn't like Angel, and that was mainly because Buffy chose Angel over him.

"And that's another thing! Why do we always end up in a relationship with a demon?" Willow went on, ignoring Xander.

"That's not true, Will."

"Oh yeah? Let's – let's look at your bio. Insect lady, Mummy girl, Anya. You're a demon magnet." As she said this the blue light once again went through her eyes.

Xander looked up. "Hey I was just trying to help."

Later that night, Buffy just came out of the bridal shop, where she just had to stop after going to the magic shop. She looked in her shopping bag and smiled when she pulled out a cake topper, with the man and woman both blonde. She sighed dreamily. How beautiful her wedding with Spike was gonna be. Him in a tux, which would probably make him look even yummier than he did now, her in a beautiful white wedding gown…she sighed again.

"Buffy." She heard a gentle voice say, snapping her out of her daydreams.

"Huh?" She looked up, and came eye to eye with, "Angel." She said a little surprised. He smiled sweetly at her. "Wh – what are you doing here?" She asked. Uh-oh Spike was not going to like him being here!

"Things in LA went a little faster than I thought, so I thought why wait?" He said with a smile, and leaned in to kiss her, but Buffy quickly backed away a bit. "What's wrong?" He asked with a slight frown.

"I uh…" She looked down, trying to find the right words. "I can't see you anymore, Angel." She said, and looked back up into his eyes.

His frown grew deeper. "What do you mean y-…why not?"

She took a deep breath. "I'm with someone else…a-and it's really serious."

"Who, that dull boy?" Angel asked, thinking of the guy he had seen her talking with on Thanksgiving. "Buffy, what's going on? I thought you wanted to – I thought we were serious." Angel said, not understanding why she was saying this. Two days ago they were together again, happier than ever, finally able to truly be together without danger, and now this…

"We were, but…" She sighed, coming close to drifting off into dreamland again. "You wanna see the ring?" She asked excitedly.

"The ring?" He asked fearfully.

Buffy held out her left hand and showed him a big skull shaped ring on her ring finger. "Isn't it beautiful?" She beamed.

Angel stared at the ring in horror. This wasn't happening, this just couldn't be real! No way Buffy would ever do this, she loved him, they loved each other! And who was this asshole to give her such an ugly ring?

"And the way he proposed was just so sweet and romantic…"

Angel's head jerked up, and he suddenly grabbed her by the upper arms. "What is going on Buffy?" He demanded.

She smiled sadly as she looked into his eyes. "I'm sorry Angel, but it's over. I'm getting married to the man I love and there's nothing you can do about it."

"Beg to differ." Angel said through gritted teeth, feeling a mixture of hurt, confusedness and anger.

"Let me go, Spike'll notice you've been close to me." Buffy said. "He doesn't even want me to talk about you, let alone you touching me!"

With a frown Angel suddenly released her. "What the hell does Spike have to do with this? Is he back in town?" With the mention of Spike his anger only rose, and he desperately needed to pound on something. Preferably the bleached idiot.

Buffy rolled her eyes. "Well duh, how could we get married if he's not in town?"

He stared at her dumbfounded. "So…you're marrying…Spike." He said slowly, trying to understand what in the hell was going on.

"Yes, I thought I told you already."

"And…you're sure it's Spike? The one you hate?" Suddenly it was starting to become clear that there most be something strange going on. Strange as in, demonical or magic…

Buffy snorted. "No silly, I don't hate him! I love him! I mean, yeah, he can be a little annoying, and sometimes I don't even really like him but…I love him. I do." She said dreamily.

"Buffy, do you realize what you're saying?" She stared at him blankly. "You're talking about Spike here! You're probably even under a spell or something. I'm sure it's a spell!"

She let out an exasperated sigh. "It's not a spell, it's real love. Spike and I love each other. Now I'm really sorry it didn't work out between us, but I have to go take care of blind Giles." She turned to walk away, but Angel grabbed her arm.

"Giles is blind?"

She rolled her eyes at him. "If you don't believe me, come with to see for yourself."

Now he was sure it was a spell of some kind. It just had to be because if it wasn't…he couldn't even think of it, it was just too surreal. Buffy would never even consider liking Spike, let alone love him!
He knew it, but deep down he couldn't really believe it. The pain of her saying those things too him was just too much, even if it wasn't real.

Hm, I think it's somewhat better now…I hope. I think I'm gonna rewrite chapter two a bit too, coz that one also seemed a little lame to me…Okay, see ya! Review please and tell me what you think of the new and improved chapter one!
