AN: Here is your alternate 35/epilogue. I always intended my original 35 (Powers That Be) to be the ending no matter what but I know some people don't like the forgetting. I made this chapter to make you guys happy and so I could earn my internet cookies.

Chapter 34 (Moonlight Confessions) original and alternate could be switched in and out (whichever you like better) with my original epilogue (Powers That Be).

Responses to guest reviewers next chapter. I'm sorry I don't respond to everyone. Just know that I love you if I haven't told already

Anya found herself standing in a large kitchen back in the future. There she was with Melanie. This was not how she wanted her day to go. It was supposed to be money than Xander. Not Buffy, Spike, and Melanie. Oh yes, and her former demon self.

"The forms are in your kitchen?" Anya asked incredulously from across the counter. Melanie was there leaning down bringing up some papers and a pen.

"I keep them handy."

"Wonder why." Anya said with as much sarcasm as she could put into it. "I probably would too if I was as big a failure as you."

"Moving on. Here." Melanie passed her the forms and a pen.

She knew what they would read. They were the forms to override the wish of Spike and make them meet Buffy's criteria in a way that Melanie would not get into trouble.

"Why am I helping again?"

"Because if you didn't then I'd leave your friends in the past and I'd probably leave you there as well."

"They're not really my friends you know. They don't really like me." Anya said it in her own way. Her feelings weren't hurt but she was stating the facts.

"Well anyway, sign at the bottom."

"First explain what you did. I don't' want anyone coming after me because you screwed up." Anya waited with her hands on her hips.

"I did what the girl asked. I made him human for a day and then I sent them both back to this timeline."

"Did you try and do anything tricky? You said you would do him a favor. What did you do?"

"I said I would do what the girl said. She asked to speed up the spell. So I did."

"Meaning…" Anya put down the pen and paper waiting for Melanie to try and explain how she of all demons was tricky.

"Meaning I sped up time. He wasn't all broody about his past because he was already over it and she was already accepting of his change. I pushed them forwards to a time where they could love each other. Every realization they had was made instantaneously. That and I made them forget about her stupid boyfriend."

"So wait, did Buffy cheat on Riley?"

"She did nothing she didn't want to." Melanie responded with a grin and a wink. Anya rolled her eyes as she couldn't care less.

"When did you send them back?"

"To the same night at the Bronze."

"How did you stop the time loop? Will they remember?"

"Here, just watch." Melanie snapped her fingers and Anya found her side by side with her standing by the door of the Bronze.

Spike found himself blinking hard as he looked around him. He was no longer in a bed wrapped up in Buffy. There was much more nothing. Underneath him he couldn't feel the blanket of the bed or the pillows leaning on the wall. It was hard and slightly wet. There was no warmth, no cold, just him. When he checked himself he found no thump-thump of a heart. He felt no bruises or broken bones. He was no longer human. Looking up he could see Buffy blinking down at him from her standing position.

She was trying to make sense of things as well. She knew she fell asleep on Spike but now she found herself standing over him without understanding how she got there. It took her a few moments to understand she wasn't dreaming. Glancing behind her she could see the flashing lights and hear the pounding music coming from The Bronze. Looking down she could see herself back in the clothes she had worn to bed and found herself in when they went back in time. Only now they weren't ripped to pieces or burnt. It was like nothing had ever happened to them. Looking down at Spike she could see he too was back in his modern clothes. His hair was no longer a mess, it was slicked back as usual. And he wasn't bruised or beaten. He looked fine.

"Spike? Are you okay?" She reached out with her hand and he took it continuously looking around him. They obviously made it back to the future.

"Yeah. Little fuzzy around the edges." He left his hand in hers and could feel the heat bombarding his skin again.

"I know what you mean." Buffy looked down at their hands intertwined. She could feel the cold of his skin against hers. "So are you..."

"Back to my nippy self? Seems so." Even as he said it he couldn't help but look at Buffy's neck automatically finding her heartbeat and swaying to its rhythm. He was hungry. Also while staring at her neck, he couldn't help but notice the red and gold flowers attached to her ear. With his other hand he wound his way up to her ear, smirking when his touch made her heart jump. "Looks like she let you keep something." Buffy's own hand jumped to her ear where she traced the earrings Spike got her. "Too bad she didn't let you keep the corset though. I wouldn't mind you wearing that more."

"Spike." Buffy groaned as she rolled her eyes.

"You know you love me." He smirked at her and pulled her forward into his arms tipping up her face with his fingers and leaning down to kiss her for the first time in this timeline. She smiled at him but didn't say anything. She reached up and let her lips move against Spike. As the kiss went on the moment got hotter. Spike wanted more due to the blood he could feel rushing in Buffy's body and Buffy was getting heated at the memory of what happened in the barn.

Then with the force of a semi-truck the memory of the talk they had on the way to the barn slammed into her.

Riley.

She pulled quickly away and pushed Spike as hard as she could sending him stumbling backwards, almost tripping to the ground.

"What the bloody hell was that for?" He started to walk towards her again but she pushed him back.

"Riley! You had sex with me when you knew I had a boyfriend and I couldn't remember him?!" Just like that every feeling she ever had for Spike in their time in the past fell apart. How could she love someone like this? Internally she was beating herself to a pulp as guilt bubbled up inside.

"It's not like you didn't want to!"

"I wouldn't have if I had known!"

"It's not like you cheated! You didn't remember and-"

"No!" Buffy cut off anything he had to say. She was too furious to be able to be around him without killing him. "I don't want to hear it. In fact I don't want to hear anything from you. And I swear if you tell anyone about anything that happened, or even that it did happen, I will not hesitate to murder you. Not just kill you but murder you. And that is a promise Spike."

She turned and started stomping away and he watched her leave. His own anger was boiling inside of him. He finally got this close to the slayer and she was going to get pissy all because she did what she wanted to do. She could be so ridiculous.

"It's not like you won't come back for more!" He called after her. "Like I said, I'm a hard one to forget!"

"Don't count on it Spike!" With that she walked away faster towards her home. With any luck her mom would still be up. There was no way she would be going to bed this mad and she didn't know who to talk to. She couldn't talk to Riley. She couldn't talk to her friends or Dawn because they'd just push her into telling them why she was so mad. She couldn't tell anyone about it. She didn't want it to get back to Riley in any way.

Spike shook his head at her as she walked away. He believed her threat. There was no way she'd let him get a word out about this to anyone. He didn't think she'd kill him but he was sure he didn't want to know what she'd be willing to do. That didn't mean however that he couldn't have fun with it. He would be sure to be making comments at her every possible chance he could. Anything to get her blood racing.

He also noticed how she kept the earrings. If she was really ready to throw him out the window, there was no way she would have left them on. No, the slayer would be back for him. He was already edging his way into her mind like she was already in his.

With one last look at The Bronze he shook his head and headed back towards his crypt. The thought of a word or two with Melanie was tempting but he didn't want to risk it. He'd just drink at home.

"Fine. I've seen enough. Send me back." Anya looked up at Melanie who snapped her fingers again and led them back to the kitchen. The counter held the papers and a pen and she gripped them in her hand. With the pen in her hand she was about to sign and get back to her money when a thought popped into her head. "What about the timeline you created? Do you plan on dissipating that?"

"No. I liked that timeline. I'm keeping it."

"It will be completely different for them in that one."

"Yeah but I liked that fella. I wanted him to have at least one timeline where he grew up human."

"Whatever." Anya lifted the pen and signed quickly looking back up at Melanie. She snapped her fingers for the last time and sent Anya back to her job.

"They'll end up together anyway." Melanie mused as she walked to her closet to find a new outfit to lure a new wisher in.

AN: I hope everyone liked at least one ending. Please review and let me know :) I had so much fun with this
