So cheers and here's another chapter. Please read and review, I would like to know how it is and if you thought the chapter before was okay because I got no reviews and I got all paranoid about it, so thanks and here goes.

Previously: Buffy grabbed her hair brush and began to dance in front of her mirror, knowing full well she was a bit old for it, but she didn't care. She was happy and alive, nothing else mattered to her right now, and everything was perfect.

Prophecy

It had been a week since the gang had started working on the forthcoming prophecy. Giles and the rest of the Scooby's had been working non-stop in the Magic Box, while Buffy and Spike went out patrolling or pretended to at least. They usually ending up snuggled up under a tree or behind a crypt. However the Scooby's were coming very close to solving the prophecy riddle.

Buffy received a phone call from Willow that morning asking her to come to the Magic Box, well not asked, more like demanded. As Buffy didn't have class she decided to spend most of the day in bed dreaming about... stuff, that was until Joyce came in, opened the curtains and made her get out of bed for being too lazy. So just to get out of the way of her mom moaning that 'she did everything round the house' she decided to go to the Magic Box to see Anya and Giles, and then wished she hadn't bothered.

A very flustered Giles greeted Buffy "Thank god your here Buffy, Xander and Anya are driving me crazy!"

"Isn't Xander supposed to be at work?" Buffy asked raising an eyebrow.

"Well yes. It seems he's taken a week off work to help sort out this wedding, can't say he should have bothered they're not getting very far. And they won't continue to, as all they seem to do is ARGUE!" Putting much emphasis into the word argue.

Buffy could then hear the unusual couple as they entered the shop floor from the backroom, arguing up a storm with their raised voices. "Anya I can't put my parents there, that's on the other side of the room, they should be on the top table! And we can't just have all your friends on there!" Xander yelled gesturing to a folder in his hand which Buffy assumed was the seating chart.

"Fine! But I don't see why your parents have to sit with us anyway; you don't get on with them!"

"I see what you mean." Buffy said turning back to her exasperated ex-watcher.

"Why are you here so early anyway Buffy? I thought Willow told me you were coming later."

"Well yea I was, but mum kicked me out the house for being lazy and not useful or something. So I decided to come here and do some training if that's okay?"

"Of course. I'd rather not be in the front of the store with them two anyway; I might just accidentally send them to another dimension."

"They would probably just get chucked back here within minutes, don't think anyone could easily put up with these two!"

"HEY!" The angry couple both shouted in Buffy's direction. Buffy looked sheepish as the couple had obviously heard her, the distraction didn't last long as they went back to their argument within seconds.

Buffy and Giles had been training for over an hour when the rest of the gang arrived, chatting about their day and coming to say 'Hi' to Buffy and Giles. It wasn't too long before they got back down to working on the prophecy. Dawn arrived about an hour later after finishing school and kicked up a fuss as she wanted to help as well. Buffy made her do her homework instead, this wasn't what she wanted to do so left after 15 minutes to go home and tell on Buffy. Giles went and joined the others and left Buffy to train on her own. Buffy began to meditate, as she didn't get enough time to do it at home, mainly due to Dawn being very good at interrupting.

'So calm and Peaceful' She wasn't quite sure how long she had been zoned out for but she heard no noise, she felt so peaceful, everything had drifted away until reality come rushing back when two cold hands drifted over her eyes.

"Guess who?"

How could she forget that familiar British accent and the big cold hands that lightly smelled of smoke and the leather duster she could feel pressed against her back?

"Umm I don't know feels like a dead guy, yep going with dead guy." She turned round to find her blue eyed wonder right there smirking at her in his dirty way, which she didn't mind.

"Hey."

"Alright luv?"

"Yep. Just trying to meditate and stuff, find my centre… etcetera."

"Oh want me to go? Leave you to it?"

"NO!" She replied quickly.

"Fancy sparring a bit later?" Spike asked.

"Yea but I think we should make an appearance in there to help with the research and stuff, you know, so they don't think I don't help." Buffy said gesturing to the shop.

"Oh, like you were helping the other day?" He said poking fun at Buffy.

"That was different, I was tired!" Buffy said instantly defending herself and crossing her arms over her chest.

"But do I have to help? I'd prefer beating the info out of someone." Spike said sticking his lip out, doing a very good impression of a pouting Buffy.

"Spike don't pout or ill bite that lip off." Buffy said as Spike smirked and pouted again.

"Fine" Buffy smiled and nibbled on his lip and gave Spike a long lingering kiss. "There you've been punished, come on." She said grabbing hold of his hand and directing him towards the door.

Buffy and Spike walked into the front of the Magic Box to find everyone sitting round the circular table, books stacked a mile high, Willow and Tara on one side of the table with the laptop in front of them and the others dotted around. Xander and Anya had stopped fighting by now, from what Buffy could tell Giles must have had a go at them, seeming as they were sitting the furthest away from him, casting him evil glares. Giles had got out his big whiteboard again and Buffy could see loads of things written on it and something resembling a poem.

"Hey Guys."

"Hi Buffy… Spike." Giles replied.

"Ello all." Spike replied giving them a nod.

"Hey Buffy, we think we have sorted out most of this prophecy thing, well the riddle anyway. Although were not too sure what it's talking about but it's a start at least." Willow said.

"Oh right cool." Buffy replied.

"Does this mean I don't have to research?" Spike added a little too happily, resulting in a light slap on the arm from Buffy, who then in turn lead him over to the table where the others were, sitting directly in front of the board.

"Well I will read you what we have found out so far and the riddle that we have translated, with the help of Tara and Willow." Giles said cleaning his glasses and turning towards the board.

Two of Two,

That should never be,

Forge their love in secrecy.

Two will come to pass,

If three deaths have been cast,

Death marked love,

Breaks eternity,

Brought out of honesty.

One of two receives a wish,

One of two shall get a choice,

The powers will hear the voice,

Death of one,

Will end the destiny,

Demons will cease to be.

The prophecy must be,

End of world it is not,

Just the beginning.

The start for one cannot be forgot,

Slayers blood will end the cause,

And so it be the end of her chores.

Simple Choice's

"Just a guess, but does this has something to do with Buffy and Me?" Spike asked gesturing at the board.

"Well were not sure but we believe you are both involved, the 'Two of Two that should never be'Seems to suggest this, but it could be anything. All we can tell is that this isn't the end of the world for once, however the death of the Slayer and the end of the Hellmouth."

Giles looked round the room to see the look of horror on everyone's faces, especially Spike and Buffy.

"It's just an assumption of course." A slight relief swept over them all. The silence didn't last long and was broken by Anya.

"Spike would you like to come to our wedding?"
