Chapter 7

Thirty minutes later everyone was at the party. "Now then if everyone would please clear the dance floor, this song is for my parents" Connor said into the mike. He, Spike and Xander had decided to sing the first song for the couple. With help from the others, they had practiced and now knew the song by heart. The music started and Angel put his arms around Buffy's waist while she put hers around his neck.

"I don't take my whiskey to extremes I don't believe in crazy dreams My feet are planted firmly on the ground But darlin' when you come around I get carried away by the look by the light in your eyes Before I even realize the ride I'm on Baby I'm long gone I get carried away nothing matter's but bein' with you Like a feather flyin' high up in the sky on a windy day I get carried away It might seem like an ordinary night Same ol' stars the same ol' moon up high But when I see you standin' at your door Nothin's ordinary anymore I get carried away nothing matter's but bein' with you Like a feather flyin' high up in the sky on a windy day I get carried away I get carried away nothing matter's but bein' with you Like a feather flyin' high up in the sky on a windy day I get carried away" When they finished Angel pulled Buffy closer and kissed her.

After a few more songs Willow and Xander walked up to the mike to sing a song. "This is a Father/Daughter Dance so if the bride would please get with her father, we'll get started. Others can join in if they want to" Willow said. Giles walked up to Buffy and escorted her onto the dance floor. The music started and they began dancing. They were soon followed by Faith and Angel as well as Spike and Dawn. "I didn't want to listen, to what you were saying, I thought that I knew all I needed to know. I didn't realize that somewhere inside me, I knew you were right but I couldn't say so. I can take care of myself yeah, You taught me well. I learned from you that I do not crumble I learned that strength is something you choose All of the reasons to keep on believing, There's no pushing that's a lesson I learned from you." Willow sang. "We always don't agree on what is the best way to get to the place that were going from here but I can really trust you and give you the distance to make your decisions without any fear." Xander sang. "I'm grateful for all of the times, you opened my eyes. I learned from you that I do not crumble. I learned that strength is something you choose. All of the reasons to keep on believing. There's no pushing that's a lesson that I learned from you. You taught me to stand on my own and I thank you for that. It saved me. It made me. And now that I'm looking back, I can say. Ohhhhhhhh OH. I learned from you that I do not crumble. I learned that strength is something you choose. All of the reasons to keep on believing, There's no pushing that's a lesson that I learned from you." When they finished Giles kissed Buffy on the cheek while Angel and Spike did the same to Faith and Dawn.

"I'll be right back" Angel told Buffy coming up behind her. "Where are you going" she asked. "It's a surprise" he replied before kissing her. A couple minutes later he showed up on stage. "This song is for the love of my life, Buffy" Angel said while getting ready to sing. "Baby, when I look at you with your hair falling down in your baby blues Standing there across the room I get so lost in the way you move It makes me reminisce, back to years ago on a night like this Teary-eyed as you took my hand and I told you that I'd be your man So many things have come so many things have gone One thing that stays the same is our love's still going strong. Baby just look at us, all this time and we're still in love Something like this just don't exist between a backwoods boy and a fairytale princess People said it would never work out But living our dreams, we shattered all doubts Feels good to prove 'em wrong Livin' our love song Darling would you look at me With my heart beating fast and my shaky knees It's pretty hard to believe after all these years I still need you this badly You're dancing in my arms With a spotlight moon and a sea of stars Oh girl we've come so far Everything I need want is everything that you are Just wanna lay you down, say I love you without a sound I think you know what I'm talkin' about Baby just look at us, all this time and we're still in love Something like this just don't exist between a backwoods boy and a fairytale princess People said it would never work out But living our dreams, we shattered all doubts Feels good to prove 'em wrong Livin' our love song" He sang, never taking his eyes off Buffy. He had just stepped back when he was nearly knocked over by Buffy running at him. He caught her and she kissed him passionately!
