Turquoise Dresses and Sombreros
Part 5
"I am not wearing that dress!" yelled Buffy. "God, Anya, these dress's are so tacky, do you have no taste?"
"What? Maria says these are in style, besides…" but Anya was cut off mid sentence by Buffy..
"Hot pink and turquoise are hardly wedding colors!" Buffy yelled back at Anya.
"Well, I like them, they're very saucy, besides, the bridesmaids have to look bad, I can't have any of you looking better than me on my wedding day!"
"Anya, Buffy does have a point," added Tara. " I mean not to be mean, but these colors are a little…well…
"I look like a flamingo!" added Willow.
"Well guess what, it's my Spanish Wedding, and what I say goes! Who's paying for all of this huh? The dress's, the limos, the catering hall, the piñata? I'll tell you who's paying for it!"
"Giles?" Buffy asked as if she knew the answer already.
"Well yes, he is, but it's only because I took over the shop for him while he went back to the land of rain and tweed" added Anya.
"Don't you think you're taking this whole Spanish Wedding thing a little too far maybe?" asked Willow. "I mean, I know you want to do this, and it's cool with us, really, but, um, sombrero's?" Willow asked as she pointed to the hot pink and matching diamond-studded sombreros that Maria Conceta was holding.
"Have you not read about any of the trends? I mean, I know you're gay and all, and probably not planning a wedding anytime soon, but I mean, that doesn't mean you shouldn't be up on what's happening in the world of bridal fashions" added Anya.
"Sometimes she makes me so angry!" Willow said to Tara. "I just want to turn her into a giant..peach!"
"Now baby, you don't want to do that, turning her into a peach will solve nothing…how about a banana?" asked Tara.
Willow turned to her lover and smiled, "You always know how to make me smile, even when I want to turn someone into a peach."

Meanwhile, Dawn and Spike had been watching the whole thing while laughing their heads off at the sight of Buffy in a tight turquoise dress.
"I can't believe she's gonna have to wear that!" Dawn said while laughing. "She looks ridiculous!"
"Now luv, don't go making fun of big sis, I think she looks beautiful, even if it is a horrendous dress" said Spike.
"Yeah I know, but, it's just so bright, and, hahahaha!" Dawn continued her laughing until she heard Anya's voice yell for her.
"Dawnie! C'mon get in here! It's time for your fitting!" yelled Anya.
The minute Anya said that Dawn's face turned from one of laughter to one of fear.
"No, don't make me go!"
"Sucks for you bit, I'm bloody glad I wasn't invited to this wedding, at least I don't have to wear a sombrero!" laughed Spike.
"I really hate you," said Dawn teasingly. And with that she was off to meet Maria Conceta and her assistants.
Spike was ready to leave when he turned and ran right into the person he had been hoping to see.
"Spike? When did you get here? How long have you been here for? You didn't see the dress did you?" asked Buffy in a rushed sentence.
"Haha, would you like me to tell you I didn't?"
"Um, Yes."
"Well, then yes, I saw the whole thing, you and your livin la Vida loca dress."
"I really can't stand you," said Buffy. But for some reason instead of just kicking him out, she asked out of nowhere, "Would you like to go get some coffee? I mean I know I've had plenty of bad experiences with coffee and guys in the past, none that I'd like to recall at the time, but I figured, hey why not, I'm asking you this time, so..would you like to go for coffee?" asked Buffy with an almost pleading look in her eye.
Spike was stunned. "Yeah, Slayer, I'd like that, I mean, I never was much of a coffee drinker, but if they serve hot chocolate with them lil marshmallows like your mum used to make me, then I'm there" said Spike, who didn't even realize at the time that he had brought up Buffy's mom.
"Yeah, my mom, you guys were actually friends..weird thought." She stopped for a moment and looked like she was going to cry, but stopped herself. "Well what are we waiting for? Let's go before Senorita Anya makes me shake some marracas," said Buffy.
"Alright, let's go."
They left through the back door without making a sound, and when they were already half way to the Expresso Pump, Anya yelled, "Buffy!? Where are you? I need you to try out these marraca's Maria gave me!"
But Buffy was no where to be found. She was on her way to go get coffee, with the one person she never believed possible.
