(So there were so many things I wanted to do with Prom. I wanted to keep parts of the original episode but also find a way to make it my own. I wrote this over 2 months ago. Being the neurotic mess I am I always want a few back up chapters to keep in the bank. So lately I have had more chances to write. Hey being quarantine in your house does have an up side. It's why I've been able to get back to my one chapter a week schedule. Anyways back to this chapter. I had a lot I wanted to do. I could have turned this in to two chapters but I wanted to keep the flow and continuity. So this is a long chapter. Anyways I hope you all like it. Also I hope everyone is staying safe. Remember Wash your hands and keep them in doors and away from other hands at least 6 feet. Which I think depending on your arm span that might be hard keeping leftie from righty. Anyways you know what I'm saying. All in this together stop hording toilet paper Enjoy PROM…. Kind of ironic being the poor seniors of 2020 probably wont get a Prom)

As they sat down at the table to eat Xander pulled out Cordy's chair for her. Not to outdone Jonathan and Oz did the same for Buffy and Willow. Xander sat down next to Cordy. He grabbed a menu and smiled at Cordeila. "I know this place is fancy but I'm hoping they have cheeseburger and fries cause I am starving."

Cordy placed her hand on the back of his tux straightening his collar. "Harris for one night you can pretend to have some culture and refinement."

Buffy picked up the menu looking it over. "Can't we have culture and refinement and cheeseburgers."

Cordy just shook her head. "Dear lord if I left it up to you two it would be the trailer park special. Nothing but Twinkies and Spam."

Xander poked her in the side. "Hey when I took you to the fair who was the one who ate two fried Twinkies."

Cordy buried her nose in the menu. "I choose to claim you are making that all up and you have no witnesses."

Willow looked over the menu looking a little surprised. "At these prices I feel like maybe water and bread sticks is the way to go."

Oz shook his head. "Prom is only once in a life time. You gotta live a little."

Jonathan nodded in agreement. "Oz is right. What ever you want Buffy order it."

Xander laughed and shook his head. "Jonathan have you seen Buffy eat lately."

Buffy kicked Xander under the table "Hey I am a lady and eat lady size portions."

Xander nodded in agreement. "You are right."

Buffy nodded "Thank you."

Under his breath he muttered, "If that lady is the Statue of Liberty."

Cordy chuckled a little hearing his comment. "Well doesn't matter anyways. My father told me to charge the meal to the suite. So tonight everything is taken care of."

Willow looked at Cordy appreciative. "Are you sure? I mean this place is expensive and."

Cordy shrugged "After what my dad paid for the ballroom for the after prom party this place is a drop in the bucket."

Buffy smiled at her. "It's very nice of him."

Cordy put the menu down. "Getting the hotel suite was kind of needed. For all the hair and make up. It was just easier to do it here."

Willow looked down at her menu. "Yeah no other reason to get a hotel room on prom."

Cordy just laughed. "Oh my God I can't believe you of all people would make such implications. You are supposed to be this good girl wallflower."

Willow put her hands up "No implications and no judgment."

Cordy put the menu down. "My dad paid for the ball room for the after prom party but he told me he wants me to attend so that all of the students stay on goodish behavior."

Xander looked confused "Goodish?"

Cordy blew out a deep breath. "This kind of public service looks great till some bone head drinks too much wipes out his car and it's a PR disaster"

Buffy looked at her. "Kind of a lot to put on you."

Cordy shrugged. "The teachers will be there and we got hotel security. It's more of an extra set of eyes thing.."

Willow nodded. "Well we are going to the after prom party so we will help keep everyone on the straight and narrow."

Cordy just nodded. "Thank you Willow."

Buffy cleared her throat. "I actually feel like we should thank you. When you told Willow and I to show up for hair and make up and the whole spa day."

Willow nodded in agreement. "Now dinner."

Buffy chose her words carefully. "It's more than I expected."

Cordy looked at Buffy over the top of her menu. "What were you expecting?"

Buffy's mouth opened but the words trailed out. "Ya ever seen the movie Carrie."

Cordy just laughed. "Oh please. Where would I even find pig's blood?"

Xander shrugged. "Angel has a guy."

Jonathan looked "Who's Angel?"

Buffy changed the focus back to Cordy. "All I am saying is Cordy if you chose to hold a grudge I don't know if anyone would fault you."

Cordy shook her head. "Well that would be unfair to Willow I mean she hasn't done anything to me."

Buffy nodded in agreement. "True but."

Cordy cut her off. "No but. What happened can't be undone but holding on to it benefits no one."

Jonathan looked confused "Something happened?"

Buffy ignoring the comment "So we are good and there is no bucket of pigs blood waiting for me."

Cordy laughed. "Maybe my evil plan goes something like this. I never take revenge I keep you on edge waiting forever."

Xander just laughed, "That is so sinister."

Buffy rolled her eyes. "I just. You've been so nice Cordy and I don't know if I deserve"

Cordy cut her off. "Maybe that is my punishment to you. If I never do anything back at you to get revenge than you are forced to see me as the sweet innocent victim and you have to play the bad guy in your own head."

Buffy gasped a little shocked. "That is evil. I can't be the villain of the story."

Oz just laughed. "This is the point in the story where you'd twirl your mustache Buffy. If you had one."

Cordy looked at her seriously. "Enough of that though. Tonight is prom and I say we all have a night to remember."

In unison they all said one word "Agreed"

As they ate their meal the hotel concierge came over whispering something in Cordy's ear. Cordy responded "We are almost done have the car pulled up front."

Oz looked confused "Car?'

Cordy nodded. "You guys all said you are coming to the after prom party so leave your cars here. The hotel limo will drop us off at the school and pick us up when we are ready to come back. Did you guys bring a change of clothes for after prom?"

Willow nodded. "They are in the back of Oz van."

Buffy piped up too. "Trust me at the end of the night it will feel good to get some sneakers and sweat pants on."

Cordy nodded. "Well they are pulling the car up now so when we are done here."

Oz looked at his watch. "Aren't we technically late? I mean prom started half an hour ago.

Cordy rolled her eyes, "You don't' show up on time. It's one of those rules."

As they laughed they had no idea that 4 floors above them standing at the rail Faith stood watching them eat. She was out of sight to them but could see everything in the distance. She watched them coldly saying nothing.

She felt a warm hand on her shoulder. "Hey kiddo."

Faith turned to find the Mayor behind her. "Hey."

The mayor could see what she was looking at. He stood next to her putting his elbows on the half wall staring from the distance. "You feeling left out?"

Faith shook her head. "It's fine."

"Come on. You don't have to do that. You can tell me. It has to stink watching your friends or former friends just move on so casually. Not to mention the boy. I mean he is down there with a new girl and."

Faith shook her head. "Technically she isn't new. I mean he went back to her."

"Well let me tell you something I think he might have done one of the biggest downgrades in the history of dating."

Faith just laughed. "I'm not sure everyone would agree with you."

"Well trust me when I tell you Faith you can't trust the opinion of the Everyone." He made a face as if a little disgusted. "I mean people have their opinions but at the end of the day they really are just sheep. I wouldn't trade you for any of those girls at the table. Hell I wouldn't trade you for a 100 of them."

Faith looked at him. "Thanks. You sort of know what to say and when to say it."

He just nodded. "I have a knack for that."

"Lets get out of here." Faith turned to leave but the mayor stayed on looking at the table.

"You know Faith I am the Mayor and if you wanted I could cancel prom."

"You could do that?"

"Well it's not like I can call up the principal and tell him to shut it down but there are any number of things that could happen. I mean the fire alarms get tripped or maybe a power outage goes down and."

"You'd do that?"

"If my Faith can't have fun why should they?"

Faith looked at them gritting her teeth. She shook her head. "Fuck it. Let them have their stupid prom."

"Language Faith."

She turned away from them starting to walk. "All goes according to plan they'll be dead in a month anyways. Let them have one last dance."

The Mayor followed behind. "Very kind of you. Almost regal."

Faith kept walking. "Yeah well this is the last kindness they will ever see from me."

Half an hour later the Limousine from the hotel pulled up in front of the school. The Chauffer jumped out and opened the door for them. Xander was the first out and extended his hand to Cordy. Cordy took his hand. "What do you say we make an entrance?"

As they walked in to the school Buffy gasped a little. "Oh my God this place is amazing."

Cordy just stood there nodding. "Prom committee really out did them selves this time."

Jonathan turned to Buffy whispering, "She is the head of the prom committee?"

Buffy just laughed "Yeah but it would be out of place to brag."

Willow looked around "So what first?"

Buffy interjected. "Well the line for the prom pictures isn't too bad. What do you say we start with that than we can make our way in to the dance?"

Cordy nodded. "Xander I'm going to check my make up. "

Xander nodded "You look fine but you are going to check it anyways so how about I get in line and hold our spot."

She leaned over to him and kissed his cheek. "Thank you Xander"

Jonathan looked at Buffy. "If you don't want to wait in line Buffy I don't mind waiting with Xander."

Buffy shook her head. "I can wait but if you don't mind would you get me a water or something?"

Jonathan nodded "On it."

Xander,Buffy, Willow and Oz all went to the back of the line. Xander waited till Jonathan was gone to ask. "So Jonathan seems very nice."

Buffy turned to him. "Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back Harris."

Xander shrugged. "Wouldn't dream of it I'm just saying."

Willow cut him off. "He certainly is trying."

Buffy exhaled a deep breath. "He is." She looked at Xander." I will totally deny this if you ever call me on it but you were right. Jonathan is a good date and I'm glad you talked me in to it."

Xander put his hand on her shoulder. "That's great Buffy. I am glad you are having a good time. You don't' have to answer this if you don't want to but how are you holding up?"

Willow looked confused. "There is something to hold up?"

Buffy just chuckled. "Xander is not so subtly asking about how I am dealing with not going to prom with Angel."

Willow looked at him. "I don't think you are allowed to ask that."

Buffy shook her head. "It's okay. The truth is" She thought about it for a second. "In my ideal situation he would be here but sometimes things aren't ideal. But you know what I'm not going to mope or cry over what could have been. This is my prom and I deserve it."

Giles stood behind her. "You most certainly do."

Buffy spun around. "Giles. You are here." She lunged at him hugging him.

Giles just hugged her back. "You all look incredible tonight."

Willow smiled joining in on the hug. "So you are chaperoning the prom tonight?"

Giles shook his head. "Actually no. There is a demon emergency and I'm afraid we have to deal with it immediately."

Xander looked exasperated. "You have to be kidding."

Giles laughed. "Oh relax. Of course I am kidding."

Oz pointed at him. "Wow Giles made a joke."

Buffy just laughed. "It's a Prom miracle."

Giles rolled his eyes. "Have fun tonight. Be responsible but tomorrow we need to discuss the Mayor."

Xander sighed. "I'm waiting for you to laugh and tell me that part is a joke."

Giles crossed his arms. "I think noon should be fine."

Buffy gasped and shook her head. "Noon? Giles after prom there is the after prom party. Noon is a little earlyish."

Xander nodding. "I'm with Buffy. I don't even want to wake up till noon.."

Giles shook his head. "Fine 3 o clock it is."

Buffy nodded in agreement. "Okay but I want you to bring food."

Giles rolled his eyes again. "Food?"

Willow shrugged her shoulders. "It is kind of fair. You are asking us to come in to school on a Saturday. That deserves some decent snackage."

Giles slumped his shoulders in surrender. "Fine. I will order pizza."

Xander slapped Giles on the back. "See is that so hard."

Jonathan came back with a cup of punch for Buffy. "Here you go Buffy."

Buffy took it sipping on the cool drink. "Thank you"

Giles looked them over once more. "Well it seems you have everything under control. I will see you in the dan"

Xander cut him off. "Actually Giles we are about to do photos. We are going to all do couple photos but than we thought it would be cool to do one big group shot."

Willow stepped in front of Giles. "And it wouldn't feel right if you weren't there with us."

Giles stammered a little. He was moved emotionally but kept the cold stoic English charm he was known for. "Really?"

Buffy nodded giving him puppy dog eyes. "Please Giles."

Giles nodded. "If it means so much to all of you I suppose it is the least I can do."

Cordy came back joining them in line. "What is the least he can do?"

Xander turned to her. "Giles is going to join us for the photo."

Cordy nodded in agreement. "That is wonderful and Xander for the record you were right. My make up and look on the whole."

Xander just laughed. "Flawless?"

Cordy just grabbed his arm interlocking it. "You know it."

After pictures they made their way in to the dance. Buffy looked at Jonathan. She knew he was to shy to ask so she took the lead "Jonathan what do you say we dance."

Jonathan stammered a little. "I'd like to Buffy but I'm not very good at dancing and I."

Xander slapped him on the back. "You got jump on in their Johnny boy. You only live once."

Buffy whispered, "Unless you are me."

Jonathan nodded. "Okay lets do it than."

Cordy and Xander followed them on the floor with Willow and Oz close behind. For the first time in a while Buffy let herself be free She didn't think of vampires or the super natural. She was just another teenage girl at the prom. An hour later Cordy and Jonathan had to step out. As members of the Prom committee they were tallying the votes.

Xander looked to Buffy. "Well with our dates ditching us what do you say we get some punch?"

Buffy shook her head. "I'm not thirsty but I do have a better idea." She took his hand. "What do you say we dance?"

Xander laughed and shook his head. "With all the rumors going around about you and me and Cordy I mean seeing us dancing together. "

She kept pulling at him till he was on the floor with her. "See how much I care?"

Xander just laughed as he swayed with her to the music. Buffy looked at him curious. "What is so funny?"

Xander hesitated for a second but spoke. "It just got me thinking. Spring Fling and the whole dance."

Buffy just returned the laugh. She put on her best Xander impression. "You know Buffy Spring Fling is a time for students to gather."

"Yeah yeah yuck it up Buffy."

"How far have we come."

"Anyways it took me a while but hey I finally got you to the dance with me."

"Technically I'm here with Jonathan."

"Harsh."

She just slapped the back of his head. "Shhhh don't ruin the moment."

"Check."

She looked in his eyes. "It does seem so long ago though. I don't even know if I know who that girl is anymore."

"You've changed Buffy. The truth is we all have."

She held his gaze. "This is one of those things I probably shouldn't say but I'm not going to lie. Sometimes I wonder if I made the right choice. I mean what if I had said yes when you asked about Spring fling."

Xander shook his head. "Buffy everything happens for a reason. We can't change the past and we are who we are because of it."

"The past isn't what has me worried. Won't be much longer and I will have someone I'm responsible for."

"I'm afraid too Buffy."

She looked up at him. "But if you are afraid and I'm afraid than how can."

"Because we are doing this together. Together we can do things we never could apart. If it was anyone but you I'd be terrified but knowing you are at my side."

She leaned against Xander rocking to the slow tune just closing her eyes. "You always know what to say."

Xander leaned down and whispered in her ear. "Best Prom moment ever."

As the music ended and the lights came up Buffy stepped back from him. Willow came over to them with Oz at her side. "Where are Cordy and Jonathan?"

Xander shrugged. "They traded up. I think they are running to Vegas for a quickie marriage."

Buffy slapped the back of his head. "They had prom committee activities."

The spotlight came on at the front of the stage as Cordeila stood next to Jonathan. She held the microphone in her hand. "Sorry to interrupt the dance but we have some awards to give out."

Willow laughed. "So much for Vegas?"

Xander slung his tux jacket over his shoulder. "It was a theory."

Cordy and Jonathan handed awards for the next few minutes Some of them were for silly things like best dressed or class clown. Buffy looked to Xander after she thought it was over. "I'm going to grab some punch do you want."

Xander cut her off. "I think they got one more."

Jonathan took the microphone. "We have one more award to give out. See it goes to the girl I brought as my date tonight. If you guys didn't know I brought Buffy Summers." He said it trying not to brag but couldn't resist.

Cordy laughed "As your date? "

Jonathan nodded. "You can ask her."

Cordy just smiled. "So award?"

Jonathan nodded. "Oh right." He pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket "I was asked to do this a while ago. Before she was my date."

Buffy looked up at the stage a little confused as to what was going on. In her head she figured it would be some silly award like shortest stint as a cheerleader.

Jonathan cleared his throat. "This is actually a new category. First time ever I guess. There were a lot of write in ballots and the prom committee asked me to read this. . We're not good friends. Most of us never found the time to get to know you, but that doesn't mean we haven't noticed you. We don't talk about it much but it's no secret that Sunnydale High isn't really like other high schools. A lot of weird stuff happens. here."

The students yelled out. "Zombies"

"Hyena people!"

"Snyder."

Jonathan continued reading. "But when ever there was a problem or something creepy happened. You seemed to show up and stop it. Most of the people here have been saved by you or helped by you at one time or another. We're proud to say that the class of 99 has the lowest mortality rate of any graduating class in Sunnydale history, and we know at least part of that is because of you. So the senior class offers its thanks and gives you, uh this."

Jonathan pulled out a yellow umbrella. It was decorated and had a plaque on it. "It is from all of us and it has written here Buffy Summers, class protector. "

Buffy bit her lip and was moved by the words. As she moved to the stage to collect her award the entire school applauded. She stood at the stage and took the umbrella from Jonathan. She kissed his check and thanked him. She fought back the tears and crossed the gym. Watched as Xander crossed the stage to Cordy and Oz took willow to the dance floor for one last dance. Giles approached her from behind.

"You did good tonight Buffy."

Buffy held up her umbrella award showing it to Giles. "And I got a little toy surprise."

"I had no idea that children could be so gracious."

"Every now and the people surprise you."

Giles looked over her shoulder at the door way. "Every now and than."

Buffy wasn't sure what he was looking at. She turned to find Angel in the door way. She passed the umbrella to Giles. Buffy took a deep breath and crossed the gym to him.

She wasn't sure what to say at first. Finally she said the obvious. "I never thought you'd come."

Angel reached out to her. "It's a big night. I didn't want to miss it. It's just tonight."

Buffy shook her head "Stop."

"Buffy?" He reached out taking her hand.

"I" she stammered a bit. "I want you to hear this. I'm not angry you couldn't make it. I realized something. We have separate lives."

"What are you saying Buffy?"

"I'm saying that we don't' need to be on the same page for everything in our life. I was angry at first when you told me you weren't going to take me to prom but tonight I had fun. I had fun and that's not a bad thing."

"Buffy I am."

"Angel I love the grand gesture. You and the tux and the idea of showing up. I appreciate all of it but. I think I'm going to ask you to leave."

He stood there for a moment a combination of shock and surprise. "Buffy I."

"Angel this isn't one of those moments where you need to feel bad or worry I'm mad. I'm not I promise. This is just me saying that I am okay here. I love you but we have things in this world we are going to have to be separate on. Please don't be mad at me for this."

Angel shook his head. "I am not mad. I love you and what you said makes a lot of sense."

Buffy held his hand. "I'm going to go find my friends It is prom night."

Angel nodded. "I want you to have fun. I think I'm going to change and maybe hit a patrol."

Buffy nodded. "Be safe. If you want to join us tomorrow Giles is putting together a Scooby meeting."

Angel nodded "I'll be there."

Buffy pulled back from him for a second. Jonathan watched from the side lines. Xander finished his dance with Cordy and made his way over to Jonathan. He saw Angel talking with Buffy.

Xander chuckled. "You are probably wondering who the guy trying to pick up your date is?"

Jonathan shrugged. "You know him?"

Xander nodded. "I do. Just give her a few and it will be fine."

Willow came to them standing next to Xander. "So I think prom is winding down."

Xander turned to her. "Cordy is calling to get the Limo to pick us up. There are only a few songs left."

Jonathan looked at Willow. "So is everyone going to the after prom party?"

Willow nodded quickly. "Xander am I wrong or did I see Angel here."

Jonathan looked curious "Who Is Angel?"

Xander nodded to Willow. "I think so and it's a long story Jonathan."

Cordy and Oz came over shortly after. Cordy stood next to Xander. "So the Limo just left the hotel and should be here shortly for the after prom party."

Willow looked at Cordy. "Pick up in the same place we were dropped off?" Cordy nodded. "I will get Buffy."

Cordy took charge. "Okay everyone grab your stuff we are moving on."

Xander just spanked her butt. "That is the drill sergeant we all know and love."

Willow crossed the room looking for Buffy. Angel was gone and Buffy leaned against the wall by herself. "You alright Buffy."

Buffy turned to Willow. "Oh hey Will." She smiled. "I was just taking one of those mental photographs."

"Good night."

"It is."

Willow wasn't sure what to say or how to approach it so it just came out. "Was that Angel I saw?"

She nodded. "It was. He showed up for me. The truth is though. This is our night."

"You sent him away?"

Buffy nodded. "I'm not sure if it was the right choice. But it was my choice."

"Cordy called for the limo and if you want to ride with us."

"Well we can't keep Cordy waiting."

"Shall we go?"

"Lead the way Will."

Everyone was waiting outside. Cordy was wearing Xanders tuxedo jacket. Buffy sighed. "A little cold Cordy?"

Before she could respond Jonathan took off his jacket. "If you are cold Buffy."

Buffy shook her head. "I'm good but that is very gentlemanly of you."

Just than the limo pulled in the lot as Cordy started flagging him down. Cordy turned around. "Alright. There should be some Soda in the limo. This night is still young so caffeine it up."

When they arrived back at the hotel all of them went to the suite to change out of the formal wear and change into more comfy clothes. Xander was the first one done waiting on the others. As they call came out one by one Cordy was the last one wearing a designer track suit.

Xander crossed to her. "Even your comfy clothes are."

She cut him off. "Entirely too gorgeous."

He just nodded "Something like that."

Buffy leaning against the wall looked at the room. "So are you staying in the room tonight Cordy?"

She grabbed her small clutch walking out the door as they followed. She just shrugged. "Most likely. I mean the after prom party isn't done till 2pm."

Willow had to poke the bear. "So Xander you staying in the room too?"

Cordy cut him off before he could respond. "PaShaw. He wishes."

Xander put his hands up. "Well there is your answer Will."

A few minutes later they stood outside the ballroom ready to enter. Buffy looked at Cordy. "So what exactly is an after prom party?"

Cordy sighed. "If you ask my dad it is really good PR for his company. It gives the kids after prom something to do and that way no one gets in any drunk driving accidents."

Xander couldn't resist. "Or you know broken condom accidents. It is prom after all."

Cordy rolled her eyes. "Not an accident you'll have to worry about. Anyways my dad paid for all of this calling it good community outreach."

As they walked inside it looked like a small carnival. There was a station for Karaoke, a photo station, Ski ball, Arcade machines, inflatable sumo wrestling suits and food like you couldn't believe.

Willow looked on "Wow this is. I mean wow."

Xander looked at Cordy. "You are going to drive your father in to the poor house."

Cordy turned to him. "Oh relax. It's all tax deductible."

Jonathan looked on amazed. "Holy cow you have cotton candy."

Buffy looked on not impressed. "Cotton candy is nice but."

Before she could finish Cordy pointed to the corner. "We do have a taco bar."

Buffy's stomach growled as she saw the Taco bar. "I take back every mean thing I've ever said about you. As a matter of fact if Xander doesn't put out for you tonight Cordy I will."

Cordy just laughed "And on that note I'm going to go mingle."

Jonathan looked at Buffy. "What do you say we get some tacos?"

Buffy took his elbow "Lead the way."

Xander just laughed waiting till they were out of sight. "Nice guy but pretty sure that's the only taco he is getting tonight"

Willow looked at Xander hitting his shoulder "That is terrible."

Oz just laughed. "Come on Will. We can do a song together."

Willow smiled at her boyfriend. "Oh can I pick?"

Oz nodded "Of course."

As Xander walked the floor Cordy found him playing Pac Man. "So everything is running smoothly so my job is kind of low key for the night."

Xander half listening focused on the screen. "That's good."

"So I was thinking let's go do some goofy pictures in the photo booth."

"Sure thing let me just finish this game and."

Cordy found the switch for the machine and flipped it off than back on. "And you are finished."

Xander looked up at her. "Why do I put up with you again?"

"Cause I'm way hotter than a yellow pellet eating dot." With that she pulled him away from the machine.

"Yeah you are hotter than Pac Man. Now Ms Pac Man."

"You are such a dork."

They stood outside the photo booth waiting in line. As the pictures took in the booth it showed on the big screen outside the booth and printed the pictures out below.

Cordy and Xander snapped a few photos together. Some of them were goofy and others just fun. For Xander it was easy to remember why him and Cordy got together so long ago.

As Cordy stepped out of the booth blocking their path was Harmony. She looked Cordy up and down as Xander stepped out behind her.

Harmony had her usual scowl on her face. She was still wearing her pink prom dress. It was tight and held together with a prayer and small miracle. She looked over Cordy in her track suit. "You do know this is prom right?"

Xander laughed. "Actually it's the after prom party."

Harmony put her hand up. "Zzzzzz." She looked in his eyes. "When I want you opinion." She shook her head. "Well I never see myself wanting your opinion so just zip it."

Cordy let go of a deep breath. "Harmony everyone is here to have a good time tonight so what do you say we just stop the petty stupid fighting and focus on having a good time. Graduation is in a few weeks and lets work on making some good memories."

Harmony looked at Cordy in disgust. "Just get out of my way. I am going to take some pictures. See I'm naturally photogenic. The camera loves me."

Xander nodded. "Well that makes sense cause I can't see how a person could."

Ignoring her comment. She looked at the booth. "How does this stupid thing work?"

Cordy rolled her eyes. "You push the red button before you enter and 5 seconds later the booth snaps the pictures. So simple even you should figure it out."

Harmony stepped past them looking at the button on the side. "What ever."

As Cordy looked down at the train in the back of Harmony's dress she got an idea. "Well have fun Harm."

Ignoring the comment Harmony pushed the button. "Later losers." As she stepped in the booth Cordy put her foot on the back of Harmony's dress. As Harmony stepped forward and in to the booth her dress fell to her waist exposing her breasts.

Harmony gasped in shock as she saw how exposed she was. Looking up at the camera just in time to see the bright flash as the camera caught her in her naked glory. "SHIT"

As the booth snapped the photos it displayed them on the Big screen outside the booth for all to see. As she struggled to pull the dress back up another photo snapped. In the ball room it was like everything froze as someone yelled. "HEY CHECK OUT HARMONY"

Harmony continued struggling as she tried to pull it up unaware Cordy still had her foot on the train outside the booth. Xander looked down laughing. "Cordeila Chase!"

She moved her foot. "Ooops" Finally freeing the dress

Harmony burst out of the booth pulling the dress up and over her breasts as the entire student body applauded.

Harmony looked on frozen in embarrassment. She just glared at Cordy. "I hate you and I hate your stupid party." With that she went running out.

Xander just laughed. "That was so mean but"

Cordy tilted her head "But?"

"But I can't think of anyone more deserving."

As the night ticked on all of them played and had fun. Cordy joined Buffy sitting at the table a little exhausted. She sighed "So I just put Eric Cripkey in a cab."

Buffy shrugged "Was he being an asshole."

Cordy nodded. "Drunken Asshole." Cordy drummed her fingers on the table. "So what was the deal with Angel?"'

"Yeah Willow asked the same thing."

"And I am guessing you said something along the lines of I'd keep I to myself"

"And Willow respected that"

"Of course she did sweetie. That is the difference between me and her."

Buffy let out a deep sigh. "And why should I tell you?"

"Because you want to get it off your chest?"

"From what I saw of Harmony you have been helping a lot of people get things off of there chest."

"No changing the subject."

Buffy opened her mouth to object but the truth was she was right. She wanted someone to listen. "It used to be Faith to talk to about anything that I thought might corrupt Willow but."

"She went psychopathic."

Buffy paused for a moment. "When Angel showed up it just reminded me that we might live in the same world but that doesn't make us the same. There are places that I'm just going to go and he just won't be able. I have to accept there are parts of my life Angel won't be able to touch."

"That sounds like maybe it's the beginning of the end."

"It's not though. We love each other. All parts of our world don't have to fit. What about you and Xander? If I didn't now better I'd say you both looked very coupley today."

"This was just prom. How many times do I have to say it?"

"You both looked so happy tonight. I mean even if it is just prom. Why would you give up another shot at happiness?"

"Maybe you and Angel can find enough pieces of each others world you can fit in to but the thing is Xander and I are both moving in different directions."

"Who's moving in different directions?" Jonathan asked as he sat at the table with Willow and Oz following him.

Cordy yawned. "Oh we were just saying it is late and about time to call this party done. I think we have shaken all of the prom magic there is to be had out of this night."

Xander joined them at the table as they made the final announcements; the workers were coming in to start the tear down as the students started leaving. Xander stood up stretching. "Well is every one good for getting home?"

Willow nodded. "Oz is dropping me off and Jonathan Is going to get Buffy home."

Buffy nodded, "Giles is wanting us at his place in the afternoon remember."

Cordy laughed, "Oh the perks of exiling myself from the group."

Xander nodding, "It's going to be an early morning So I think I'm heading."

Cordy grabbed his arm. "You left your tux up in the room."

Xander nodded "I guess I'll see all of you tomorrow."

As they headed off in separate directions Xander followed Cordy in the elevator. They rode up to the suite. "So are you staying here tonight Cordy?"

She nodded as the door opened. "I might as well. It is paid for."

"Well I'll just grab the tux and be on the way out. You have to be exhausted."

She stepped off the elevator. "You know me. I'm still standing."

Xander followed her to the suite. She unlocked the door stepping inside. Xander looked around the room. "I think I left it in in." He walked in to the lounge of the suite. Sure enough the tuxedo was lying on the couch. "I found the tux now I just need to find the rental bag" Cordy have you." He turned to look at her to find her dress completely off. She stood in front of him in nothing but a black lacy thong and a matching strapless bra. "Whoa uhm Cordy."

She stepped to him. "Calm down Xander. This is okay."

"Cordy I."

"I know everything in you right now is telling you this is a bad idea."

"Cordy you said this was just prom and."

"And it is. But you are going to hear me out"

"Hear you out?"

"When we were together I made this plan in my head. If we made it to prom I wanted us to finally cross this barrier."

"But we didn't' Cordy."

"Not because of anything we did. Our relationship ended on Buffy and Angel's terms. "

Xander opened his mouth to object but stopped and thought for a second. "You aren't wrong."
"We both knew we aren't each others long term thing but that doesn't mean what we had didn't' deserve better. I think tonight we end our relationship. We write the final chapter."

"And that chapter include prom sex?" He smiled coyly.

"It was part of my original plan. We end our relationship the way we want to end it."

Xander looked her up and down. Everything in him was telling him take her. He couldn't help but think of his former girlfriend Faith and what if he was rushing things again. "Cordy I."

She knew if she was going to sell him on this she couldn't let him over think it. She grabbed him and pressed him against the wall kissing him. Xander kissed her back holding her. Even though he knew there was so many reasons maybe he shouldn't, he couldn't bring himself to stop. His tongue rubbed against Cordy's as his hands slid to her ass.

Cordy pulled back from the kiss just long enough to look him in the eyes. "I promise you won't regret this."

No words were said as Xander scooped her up and carried her to the bed. Xander looked at her. "I uhm. I didn't think this was a possibility so I didn't grab any protection."

Cordy laughed. "Don't worry you aren't putting a baby in me. I'm on the pill."

Xander looked at her relieved. "Oh thank God." He started taking off his clothes tossing them quickly to the floor. He was left only in his briefs.

Cordy looked at him a little stunned. "You weren't pudgy when we were dating but you've firmed up a lot."

"Well I was training along side Buffy for a while than Giles taught me a few things add to that patrols"

"All the parts of you that were soft are kind of gone."

"Looking at you right now." Standing at the foot of the bed he crawled up to her whispering in her ear. "Nothing on me is soft."

Xander moved his mouth to hers kissing her again. His hands moved to her back and unclasped her bra. He moved his mouth to her neck sucking kissing biting it. Cordy started moving her hips against him grinding.

Xander looked down at her naked breasts. "Oh I've missed the girls."

Cordy grabbed his face burying his head between her tits. "Shut up and show me how much you missed me."

His mouth moved to her nipple as she arched her back practically yelping as she felt him practically worshiping at the alter that was her tits. He left nothing neglected. As one nipple was sucked on he gave his attention to the next biting and chewing in a combination of pleasure and pain.

Her breath caught in her throat. She started grinding against him harder and harder. She looked at him desperate. "Please be in me."

Looking up at her he just smirked. "You wanted this. Well I'm setting the pace."

"What?"

With that Xander started humming and laid soft wet kisses just below her breasts. He looked up at her with each kiss a dark smirk on his face. He kissed at her belly button soft and wet. He stopped at the waist band of her panties.

She ordered him. "Take them off."

Laughing he just shook his head. "When I'm ready." He put his face completely between her legs and took in a deep breath. "When we were dating."

She caught her breath in her throat. "Yeah"

He nuzzled his face to her soft panty covered mound. "I wanted this oh so badly." He opened his mouth wide and started moving his mouth against her lace covered pussy.

Cordy spread her legs wider giving him deeper access. She gripped a handful of the sheets raising her hips to his mouth. She could feel her pussy going from damp to wet to flood warning.

Xander reached up pulling the lace aside enough to get a peek at her hot pink slit. "God you are so beautiful."

As she was about to respond she felt his tongue on her slit. "I oh God Xander don't stop."

In one motion Xander tugged the thong down and off of her. In front of him was a completely naked Cordeila Chase. She felt vulnerable and exposed but beyond that was pure lust.

He slid his tongue up and down her slit. As his tongue rubbed against her slit she grabbed the back of his head. She knotted her fingers through his hair. "Oh God Xander what ever you do don't stop."

His tongue pushed deeper inside of her. His mouth vibrated against her slit. "Oh God Xander I'm going to."

Xander pulled his tongue out of her. He jumped on top of her kissing her deep as the taste of her wet slit hung on his tongue. As he kissed her his fingers found her clit and rubbed slowly and softly. "Cum for me Cordy."

She let out a deep groan as she felt herself cumming hard "Oh Fuck Xander."

He could feel her pussy practically milking his fingers and she climaxed around them. When she was done he pulled them out of her and licked them.

'You taste amazing."

She shook her head. "Enough foreplay. The oven is pre heated" She yanked off Xander boxers from under him. "Now Fuck me properly."

Xander's cock twitched against her. "Would it surprise you to know that all those times you would yell or snap at me I always kind of got turned on."

"I'm completely naked in front of you. If that isn't enough turn on motivations for you."

Xander kissed her and pushed his cock against her wet slit. "Trust me when I tell you." The tip of his cock spread her pink paradise open. "You are enough."

She raised her hips to take more of his cock inside. He grabbed her hands and intertwined their fingers together. Pushing a little deeper and he was finally all of the way inside her. She could feel every twitch every flex.

"Cordy you are amazing."

She kissed him again. "Jesus you are as thick as a coke can."

He rolled her over so she was on top of him. "Well you know what happens if you shake up a can of soda."

She bit her lip as she looked down at him. "Challenge accepted." She bounced up and down taking his cock in to her. As she started riding his cock her tits bounced almost hypnotically.

Xander slid his hands to her hips guiding her up and down. As his cock plunged in to her it twitched with each thrust. As she bounced up and down his fingers slid to her clit rubbing it softly as rode him.

Xander tossed his head back panting as he felt Cordy on him. "If I didn't say this before I'm going to say it now. This prom idea might be the best one you ever had."

"Aren't you so glad you came with me."

Xander lunged up grabbing the back of her head and kissing her deeply. "I really really want to cum with you now."

Cordy picked up her pace bouncing harder and faster. "Than cum with me Xander."

Thrusting back at the same pace crashing his hips to her pelvis he groaned out "Oh Ciordy I'm cummmming"

She moaned right along with him as she felt him shooting his load inside of her she let go unable to take any more. As he pumped deep in her she felt her pussy coating his cock in her own cum.

He kept thrusting in her till his cock was completely drained. Cordy rolled off of him laying on her back in the bed next to him. Catching her breath she just felt for his hand holding it. "That was. I mean"

"Yeah you were pretty amazing yourself"

Cordy smiled "Best Prom Ever"
