Disclaimers - I don't own 'em and I'll put 'em back when I'm done
Authors note - This is the fourth in my series where Faith's big brother shows up as her
watcher.
If you've missed any of the fic you can find it at http://www.angelfire.com/my/btvs/
I guess this is set in s5, Joyce is alive, and Dawn might be a key but I'm simply ignoring that in the fic
Summery - There's a date, a boyfriend and a wedding :)

Faith slammed the stake into the last vampire when suddenly she was grabbed from behind
"Fuck" She cursed out loud, she hadn't sensed any more vampires "Buffy!" She yelled as she struggled to break free from her captor, Faith started to see spots as her captor strangled her "Buffy" She tried to yell for help again. As her vision started to cloud over she heard Buffys voice at last
"Riley? Oh Fuck, let her go!"
-----
"What do you mean? Buffy she's crazy!" Riley shouted
"She's not crazy Riley" Buffy sat on tombstone rubbing her temples
"Yes, she is, don't you remember all the crap she pulled, she brainwashed you or something didn't she?"
"God, Riley, I haven't forgotten, I've forgiven her, she's changed Riley, I know she has"
"She's just messing with you Buffy"
"You don't know what your talking about farm boy" Faith said as she regained consciousness
"Don't I, they might all be blind Faith, but I'm not"
"So what G.I Joe's here to save the day? March in with your government orders and wipe out the enemy. You don't know who the enemy is Riley, cause I sure as hell ain't"
"Like I should believe a word you say" He turned to Buffy "You don't have to worry Buffy, I'm back now, I'm sorry I left, I still love you" He cast a glance at Faith "and I'll
protect you"
Faith laughed at him "She's a slayer you halfwit, she doesn't need you"
"How do you know what she needs Faith?"
"How do you?" She challenged
Buffy finally let out a groan and stood up "Just stop it you two, just stop it, Riley, go home, Faith come on, lets go"
"But Buffy - " Riley started
"just go home Riley"

"Dawn, door!" Joyce yelled from the kitchen as the doorbell rang
"Yea, great, thanks mom, see you later" Dawn yelled as she rushed for the door
"Wait Dawn" Joyce called as Dawn flew past the kitchen
"Yea I know, be back by curfew, be careful and so on" Dawn said poking her head just in Joyce's view
"Don't a get to meet your date?" Joyce asked
"No" Dawn replied as she went to answer the door
"Hey Dawn, ready to go?" She was greeted
"Yep" Dawn replied as she closed the door behind them
"Dinner and a movie good?"
"Great" She said as she linked arms with her date.

"Thank you Faith" Buffy said softly as the slayers walked into the house
"What? Why are you thanking me B?" Faith asked
"For not beating on Riley, I know you wanted too, after what he did, heck even I wanted to"
"Why didn't you?"
"Because it's Riley, I mean, he tried to kill you, but he had good intentions"
Faith just stared at her "Don't worry, if he tries it again I'm gonna kill him" Buffy smiled then kissed Faith "I love you Faith, I don't know what I felt for Riley, and I'm
sure as hell not interested in finding out now, cause I have you"
Faith smiled at her "So, there's no way you want to be with him?"
"No, I have you, why would I want anything else?"
"It's just...old insecurities I guess. I love you Buffy"
"I know you do"
