The Wedding Invitation

Turquoise Dresses and Sombreros

Part 4

Dawn was sitting in the kitchen, skimming through one of Anya's many bridal magazines. She was interrupted from her reading by a peroxide blonde vampire who sneaked up on her from behind and grabbed her by the shoulders.

"Hey there Nibblet, whatcha doin?" Spiked asked.

"Spike, you scared me! Don't sneak up on me like that!" Dawn said as she playfully slapped him on the arm. "You'll give me a heart attack and I'm not ready to die yet, I'm only fifteen and there's still a lot of things I want to do in life" said Dawn.

"Oh yeah, like get married?" Spike asks as he pointed to the magazines she was reading. "Don't you think you're a lil young to be getting married?"

"Spike, shut up, they're not mine, they're Anya's, I was just looking through them" stated Dawn mater of factly.

"Well lemme see some of the dress's you were looking at. You know I have an eye for fashion," Spike said while laughing.

"You are such a loser why do I talk to you?" asked Dawn. She grabs the magazine and starts flipping through the pages of dresses and stops at a beautiful lilac color one. "Okay, well I was thinking this would be a good dress for a junior bridesmaid" she said, "But…Anya didn't like it, she said it wasn't 'saucy' enough for her liking, so I guess that's out."

"Too bad" said Spike, "You would look very nice in it bit."

"Thanks Spike, you really think so? Wow, I can't wait for my wedding, I'm going to let my bridesmaids wear these dresses. I can't wait" exclaimed Dawn.

"Hey now bit, you remember what Spike told you, no dating till your 30, so you still have a while to go."

"Yeah, yeah, between you and Buffy I'm never gonna have a boyfriend."

Dawn's mention of Buffy brought Spike's thoughts back to the whole reason why he was sitting here looking at dresses with Dawn.

"Speaking of the Slayer, where is she?" asked Spike.

"Oh, her, Willow, and Tara are all getting fitted for their bridesmaids dress's now in the living room. Want to go have a look?" asked Dawn.

"Sure, I'd love to." And with that Dawn and Spike were headed for the living room, unaware of the crazy scene that was unfolding there.
