Chapter 8

Party

"I want you to consider marrying me. You can have all the time in the world. But I'd like you to say yes. It would be ok now that I am human and maybe I should stop blabbering and let you talk," said Angel.

"Yeah I think I would really like to think about it. I don't want to be too hasty. Give me a bit of time to think and then I'll tell you my answer," said Buffy.

"Ok that is completely fine," said Angel "I'll see you later then."

"Yeah, bye," said Buffy.

With Willow.

"Will, can I ask you what you think about something?" said Buffy.

"Well sure, what is it?" said Willow.

"Angel has asked me to marry him," said Buffy.

"Oh that, you want my opinion. Well I think that you should accept him," said Willow.

"You do! I want to but I still don't know. If I take your advice will I be happy?" said Buffy.

"I believe that you will be very happy. I have to tell you that Angel came to ask my advice as well. I said that it was a great idea," said Willow.

"He did!" said Buffy.

"Yes he did. If you want to ask someone else's opinion then I would ask Wesley. He is quite close to Angel," said Willow.

"Ok I will do that," said Buffy "bye."

With Wesley.

"Hey, Wesley can I talk to for a sec?" said Buffy.

"Well sure, what do you want?" said Wesley a bit startled.

"Well, Angel has just asked me to marry him and I wanted your advice," said Buffy.

"You want my advice? Well I will tell you exactly what I said to Angel. It is a great idea. I think you should go ahead and marry him. He loves you dearly. He always has. Go on and marry him," said Wesley.

"Really, everyone seems sure except me. Why? Maybe it is because I'm nervous," said Buffy.

"Everyone gets nervous but you should go on and tell him your decision whatever it is. Get him out of his misery. Now go," said Wesley.

With Angel.

"Um Angel, I have come to tell you my answer. You know that I love you dearly. I always have so my answer is Yes!" said Buffy.

"Really thank you Buffy with the best of my ability. You will have to wait a bit for a ring because I haven't got one yet," said Angel.

"That is all right, but when shall we tell the gang?" said Buffy.

"How about tomorrow morning? Then we have a chance to prepare," said Angel.

"Ok, tomorrow then," said Buffy "I'll go now and I'll see you tomorrow."

Next Morning.

"Um, Angel and I are going to be married," said Buffy.

"Oh I am proud of you Buffy. I am glad you are secure with someone," said Giles.

"Well congratulations and all that, but I must be going got a lot to do, you know mope about," said Spike.

"Thanks Spike, but before you go there will be a party tonight at the mansion at 8:oopm. Please come," said Buffy.

"Ok whatever," said Spike going.

"You actually invited him?" said Angel.

"Yeah I did," said Buffy.

"Ok I don't really care anyway, however much I hate him," said Angel.

"Well done Buffy. I am really glad for you, " said Willow.

"Xander and I are too," said Anya.

"Me too," said Tara.

"Thanks you guys for all the support," said Buffy.

"We are glad too," said Wesley for Cordelia, Faith and himself.

"Sorry guys we gotta go because we haven't told my mum yet," said Buffy.

"Yeah, bye Buffy and Angel," said Willow.

At home.

"Hey mum how are you?" said Buffy.

"I'm fine and how are you?" said Joyce.

"I am fine and I'm in a great mood. I have some news for you. I am getting married to Angel," said Buffy.

"You are! When were you two engaged?" said Joyce.

"Last night," said Buffy "I love him dearly and we are getting married soon. It won't be a big thing. There will just be my friends there and you of course. Then there will be a party at the mansion. There probably won't be a honeymoon. That depends on the amount of vampires. There we go, that is all of our plans. We will then sell my flat and I'll live in the mansion with Angel. Oh yeah and there is a party at the mansion tonight to celebrate. Please come."

"I am astounded Buffy. I do though wish you the greatest luck but I will miss you terribly. You will visit me often, won't you?" said Joyce.

"Of course I will visit, what do you take me for?" said Buffy.

"My daughter," said Joyce.

"No seriously I will come very often," said Buffy "thanks mum."

In the evening.

"Hey Buffy this is a cool party," said Willow.

"Yeah it is," said Buffy "it is quite relaxing actually, all the other parties I have had vampires always come in!"

"Yeah I know," said Willow.

"Oh yeah, where is Angel do you know?" said Buffy.

"I am right here Buffy. I just went out to but this," said Angel showing Buffy.

"Oh it is beautiful. Where did you get it?" said Buffy.

"In a jewelry shop where else?" said Angel.

"Can I put the ring on?" said Buffy.

"Sure you can, I didn't buy it just for show," said Angel.

"Come show the others the ring," said Willow.

Everyone crowded round for ages and then they partied.

"Hank, is that you?" said Joyce.

"Yeah it is me," said Hank (Buffy's dad.)

"I thought you should know that Buffy is going to get married in a few days time," said Joyce.

"Oh is she. Who to? Do I know him?" said Hank.

"No you don't know him but his name is Angel," said Joyce.

"That is a weird name, how did he get it?" said Hank.

"I don't know actually but aren't you happy for your daughter?" said Buffy.

"Yeah sure I am, say good luck to her for me," said Hank "I'll see ya."

"Bye," said Joyce.

"Buffy, your dad says good luck," said Joyce.

"Ok, did you ask how he was, if he was ok?" said Buffy.

"Yes I did and he was ok," said Joyce.

"Cool thanks," said Buffy.

At the magic shop.

"So Buffy what are you going to, when is the wedding," said Xander.

"The church is booked for Wednesday, tomorrow. It isn't a proper dress sort of thing you

can wear whatever you like. There is a party for everyone including Spike afterwards. We won't go anywhere for a honeymoon. Also we will sell the flat and live at the mansion," said Buffy.

"Those are great plans, and we can wear whatever we want. Cool," said Xander.

"We had better patrol now then," said Giles.

"Yeah we should, we haven't patrolled for quite awhile," said Buffy.

On patrol.

Wham! Dust! Wham! Wham! Stake through the heart. This happened about 20 times so they didn't have a lot of time to talk. What did happen was that Anya and Xander decided to...

"Anya I have a special thing to say to you," said Xander.

"Yeah what is it?" said Anya.

"I wonder if you are willing to do the honour of marrying me?" said Xander.

"That is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me," said Anya "of course I'll marry you, but let's tell people after the party tomorrow."

"Ok that is fine, thanks An," said Xander "I love you very much."

"As much as I love you," said Anya.

"I reckon so," said Xander.

AN: I'm sorry I took so long :S
