"Ahhhhh" Buffy, Willow, and Cordy all screamed and hugged each other when Cordy walked through a front door she had never wanted to walk through again. "Cordy your hair is different. It must be the new style in L.A. I swear Sunnydale has always been light years behind you L.A. sophisticates." Buffy said dragging Cordy and Willow to the couch. It's hard to believe the three musketeers together again."

"Yeah, well I'm still adjusting to why I'm here. You and Spike," Cordy asked.

"I think we're all dealing with that," said Angel coming through the door caring suitcases followed by three people Buffy had never met.

"Oh Buffy, Gunn, our action man, Lorne, he sees things when people sing, and Fred is our researcher and the one holding Connor." Cordy introduced Angel Investigations.

"Awww, Look at the little guy." Buffy said cooing over Connor. "Oh," realizing Gunn, Lorne and Fred still looked uncomfortable. "I'm Buffy and this is Willow, she's our researcher. Xander is still at the Magic Box, The plane from England isn't in yet so you can't met Giles, Oz and the Dingoes are coming tomorrow, so the only one missing is"

"Me," came a voice from the kitchen. "Hey Spike bloke who lives here."

"Well since everyone's introduced. Fred, Cordy, you're with us. And you men have a wonderful time. Willow's number is on the refrigerator if something goes wrong. Just remember to be at the airport at seven, terminal ten from England." Buffy said a little too cheerfully, kissed Spike and whispered 'be nice' before the four girls left.

What do I do when my love is away? Does it worry you to be alone? How do I feel by the end of the day? Are you sad because you're on your own? No, I get by with a little help from my friends.

After dropping the two watchers at the house, Spike had decided to take off. Except for the green guy from Pylea, no one in that housed liked him very much anyway. He was headed over to Clem's when he heard a noise behind him.

"Sorry" apologized Lorne, "I just figured that you needed some friendly company after the cold reception you got in there. I can't figure out why they accept Angel and hate you."

"Long story, but me and a couple of my mates are going to play poker if you'd like to come."

"Sounds like fun, I used to be something of a card shark once upon a time."

"Really, well a real card shark is going to be at the game tonight."

"Fascinating, maybe we can convince him to sing so I can read his cards. Cause trust me when I say card sharks only think about their cards."

Do you need anybody? I need somebody to love. Could it be anybody? I want somebody to love.

Would you believe in a love at first sight? Yes, I'm certain that it happens all the time. What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you, but I know its mine. Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends.

"Okay now I want full details of how you and Spike went from trying to kill each other to getting married." Cordy said as the four girls were settling in for a night of movies with hot guys and talking about their hot guys.

"Well, he sort of became part of the Scoobies when he got this chip in his head that will only let him hurt demons. But I didn't really start liking him until I came back from the dead and he was there understanding how it felt. He balances me, keeps me in check. Don't get me wrong we still fight. But it's different, we know we'll always be there for each other."

"Kruption." Fred exclaimed.

"Kruption means when two warriors join their souls together. She thinks Angel and I have it too." Cordy explained.

"And do you" Willow asked excitedly. "I mean is Angel why you're so different and nice."

"Well is Xander the one that made you so nosey? I guess Angel had a big part in my change, but L.A. and some other people and demons have helped along the way. Watching Fred and Gunn be all adorable together helped a lot."

"Well I recommend starting with something in the Chris O'Donnell collection. But I have to call the house to make sure Giles and Wes made it in okay." Buffy said reaching for the phone.

"Wes" screamed Cordy and Fred at the same time. "You didn't tell me Wes was coming." Cordy continued.

"Yeah, he's the council's representative. Why? What's wrong with Wes being here? Is this going to ruin my wedding?" Buffy freaked putting down the receiver. "Tell me not to worry."

Do you need anybody? I just need somebody to love. Could it be anybody? I want somebody to love.

"We need to worry." Xander said to Giles, Angel, Gunn, and Wes who was sitting as far away from Angel as he could. "I mean Buffy's going to make the biggest mistake of her life and we're all sitting here playing monopoly like we support her."

"Well why didn't you do something before now since you're the one that still lives here?" Angel retorted.

"Hello I believe being made an usher at my best friend's wedding testifies to my trying to do something."

"So what do you suggest?" Giles asked

"He's a vampire, I'm down for killing him," Gunn suggested.

"But wouldn't that make Buffy a tad upset?" Wes inquired.

"No more then someone trying to steal your baby" Angel responded looking down at Connor in his arms. He was only leaving Wes alone for Buffy's sake, but if he ever saw him again under normal circumstances.

"So what do we do?" Xander asked. "Come on I finally have other members of the We Hate Spike Fan Club. We got to do something."

"I suggest shutting up and playing Monopoly." Giles snapped. "Listen I am well aware of the negative consequences of Buffy going through with this, but this is Buffy's decision and we are going to support her no matter what."
