Hey guys. I know you've been waiting for the final chapter and I've been trying to figure out how to end this story. Well, while writing another story, I found the perfect way to end it. So here's the last chapter.

Chapter fourteen

Buffy jumped onto the couch and grinned at her wife. "Hey, Will, whatcha workin' on, now?"

"Nothing much Buffy," Willow replied, staring at her computer screen ass she typed away. "Just finishing this last scan so I can turn it into Microsoft in the morning. How is work going for you?"

"Pretty well, actually." Buffy replied, checking out her nails. "The customers are nice, the hours are workable, and not a vamp in sight for two days."

Willow looked up and quirked an eyebrow. "You ARE still patrolling though, right?"

"Of course, Will. I learned from that."

Willow nodded with a small smile and went back to scanning the new program for viruses. Feeling a pair of warm arms snake around her waist, Willow looked up at Buffy expectantly.

"Come on, Will," Buffy said softly, nuzzling Willow's neck. "It's our anniversary. Put the work away until morning."

"But I have to have it in by ten tomorrow." Willow said earnestly.

Buffy's eyes flashed a dark green. "They won't argue with me, Will. I'll tell them that I took you out for our anniversary and that we didn't get back 'til late. You needed sleep and I told you to go sleep. Come on, Will, spend time with your wife."

Willow sighed and closed her laptop after saving her progress. She turned to Buffy with her hands clasped. "So, what are we doing?"

Buffy raised an eyebrow. "I just told you I was taking you out."

Willow's eyes widened. "Oh, I thought that was the excuse. Oops."

Buffy chuckled and took Willow into her arms and said, "We're going to that cool bistro that you've been talking about going to, but never could find the time. Go get your coat and I'll meet you out in the car."

Willow nodded and went upstairs to grab her coat before heading out to the van. "Ready?" Buffy asked with a lopsided smile.

Willow nodded and buckled up. Buffy drove them quickly, but carefully to the small bistro. Getting out, Buffy put an arm around Willow's waist and the two were led to a reserved table near the back.

"I had to choose something away from everyone else because I still have to watch for vamps." Buffy told Willow apologetically.

Willow shrugged it off with a smile. "Well, at least I'm here to help."

Buffy laughed at that. "Yeah, that at least is good. Go ahead and check out the menu while I try to sense anyone."

Willow perused her menu and Buffy closed her eyes to check out the area around them. It seemed that there were no vampires in vicinity to them, but since they were in New York, the vamps could have been anywhere. But for now, Buffy was content in knowing that none were currently within three miles of the bistro. She picked up her own menu and looked through it before turning to Willow and noticing that the redhead had her eyes closed as well.

"Magic getting a bit hectic?" Buffy asked quietly.

"Just a little." Willow breathed deeply for a few more minutes before smiling and opening her eyes.

The waiter strode over with a notepad in hand and eagerly took their orders. As he walked away, Buffy got a chill down her back and the Slayer looked around. A couple was coming through the door, they were laughing happily with one another and Buffy raised an eyebrow. These are teenage vamps, but they don't act like vampires at all. "Will, check out the couple that came in."

Willow turned and glanced at the two girls that had just come in. "The blonde and the dark brunette?" she asked, to which Buffy nodded. "They don't seem like vampires to me." Willow mused, watching them.

"Exactly. They seem like normal girls right?"

"Do you think they had their souls restored before they did much damage?" Willow asked.

"Well, we'll find out when our date is finished." Buffy gave Willow another apologetic smile and Willow returned it with a bright one. "As long as we're together on our anniversary, I don't care what we're doing."

Buffy smiled at her gratefully and the two waited for the server to arrive. Minutes later, he appeared and handed them their meals before going over to the two new girls and taking their orders. The girls looked up at him with twin smiles and looked to have ordered the same thing. As Buffy watched them and ate, she heard that one was named Juliet and the other named Alex.

"How do you think Xander's doing at his new construction job up in Montana?" Buffy asked Willow conversationally.

"Probably bored." Willow replied, cutting into her Salisbury steak eagerly. "Montana's mostly farms. Not many large cities."

Buffy laughed at that. "Anya will keep him perfect company then."

The two talked more about their friends as Buffy continued watching the two girls eating not far away. The brunette seemed a bit on edge and she looked over at them. Buffy met her eyes with a raised eyebrow and the brunette made the same look. They stared at each other for a moment before both of their companions waved hands in front of their eyes.

Willow chuckled as Buffy snapped out of it. "Very interested in the brunette one then?" she asked flippantly.

Buffy blushed and said, "She started it. I was just too stubborn to look away. Are you finished?"

Willow nodded and they began stacking their plates. Buffy left the money on the table and they headed outside to the alley on the other side of the street.

"Are you going to subject me to excitement before we head home?" Willow laughed.

Buffy snickered at that. "I guess so, Will. We just need to figure out the deal with these two girls and we'll be home right after."

Willow nodded and kept quiet as they watched the two girls pay for their food and exit the bistro. As they began walking down the street, Buffy and Willow followed as quietly as possible.

"I'm telling you, Juliet, there was something about the blonde one that was so familiar."

"Alex, I'm sure it was just a coincidence. Honestly, no slayer can sense when vampires are near. All the ones we've fought haven't been able to. Besides, they shouldn't try to kill us anyway. We didn't eat a single human and we are due for the blood bank tomorrow anyway."

"Aw, but Juliet, that blood is for people who need surgery. Why can't we go to the butcher shop instead?"

"Because we had meat last time."

The vamp named Alex sighed and said, "Fine, but not too much. The blood bank might wonder where the blood is going."

Juliet chuckled and shoved Alex playfully. "If you say so Ally. You know it's mostly because you want fresh blood and not the frozen kind."

Alex laughed. "Duh!"

They continued playing with each other for a bit before a homeless woman stumbled out of an alley and lumbered toward the girls. Alex went on the defensive and ushered Juliet away from the woman protectively.

"Hey, you girls got any money on you?" the woman asked.

"Sorry, we just spent the money we had." Alex said politely.

The woman's eyes narrowed and she came closer. "You're lyin' to me!" she growled. "You got money. Give it to me!"

Alex continued moving Juliet away as she stood her ground to the woman. "We don't have any money. Leave us alone!"

The woman growled and made to hit Alex, but the dark brunette, blocked the hand and looked into the woman's eyes. "Go back to the alley and go to sleep. We were never here and you thought it was a dream." The woman nodded and moved back to the alley she had come from. Alex let out a slow breath.

"You handled that really well, Alex." Juliet said. "I'm proud of you."

"Yeah, well, not everyone can have a good soul like you Juliet. The urges are still there."

"Let me see your fangs." Juliet commanded.

The street had enough people that someone would notice if Alex were to vamp out. Buffy's eyes widened in surprise. She's not really going to do it, is she? If Alex were to expose herself like that in front of so many people, Buffy would have to take her down. But to both Buffy and Willow's surprise, she didn't vamp out at all. Her fangs slid lower and they could see that the points sharpened, but that's it.

"You need to go to the blood bank in a few hours." Juliet said with a nod.

Alex groaned and said, "Let's just get home." Juliet laughed and pecked Alex's lips. Buffy waited until they had walked into a back alley before jumping down in front of them.

"You!" Alex snarled, standing protectively in front of Juliet. "What do you want?"

"Just to talk." Buffy said.

"And I'm sure that's why there's a stake in your back pocket, your boot and your inside jacket pocket." Alex said sarcastically, rolling her eyes and crossing her arms. Buffy stared at her in surprise. "I'm the alpha of ALL vampires, I know what's going. Who are you?"

"Buffy." Buffy replied, still in shock.

"The vampire slayer?" Juliet asked in surprise. "Wow, I've heard about you. You've come back from the dead more times than even I can count."

Buffy looked at her in confusion. "You know me?"

Juliet nodded. "You hunt the Bad Faces, the vampires that take on hideous faces to get their fangs. You're a real big help to the rest of us, who are trying to stay low." Buffy stared at them in complete confusion. Alex had the same look.

"So, that redhead was… Willow?" Buffy nodded slowly and Alex relaxed a bit. "So, what do you want with us?"

"I was just wondering why your face didn't change when you showed your mate your teeth. She is your mate, right?"

Alex nodded. "Do you really see me as one of those ugly looking vamps? Seriously, that would totally ruin my reputation as the prettiest girl in school."

They all heard a chuckle and looked up to see Willow levitating herself down. "Sounds a lot like Cordelia." She murmured, to which Buffy chuckled too.

"Sorry for intruding." Willow said to the two vampires. "But we were curious about you, that's all."

"No harm done." Juliet replied. "We'll let you go. Alex and I have to finish our anniversary. It's our third year dating."

"It's our third year married." Buffy told them. "I'm taking Will home and she is not going to get back to that program." Alex and Juliet laughed and bade them goodnight. Buffy guided Willow home and the two collapsed on the couch.

"At least we know there are still good vampires out there." Willow remarked.

Buffy nodded and leaned over to give her a kiss. "How do you feel?" the blonde asked.

"Tired." The redhead replied.

"Good. Go sleep."

Willow looked up at her, green eyes meeting emerald. "Come with me." Buffy smiled and the two settled into bed together.

"Hey Buffy?" Willow asked.

"Yeah?"

"Best anniversary ever."

Buffy chuckled, rolled over and gave her a kiss. "I agree Will." She murmured into Willow's lips. "Best anniversary ever."
