Part 10

It was a beautiful day in Sunnydale. The wedding was a week away, and the whole gang minus Buffy and Spike were gathered at the Magic Box.

"I don't even know how to work the register," complained Willow as she tried to get it open.

"It's actually quite simple," explained Anya. "See, the customers hand you the money, you hit the amount in, and then ching, ching, you put the money in the box."

"Ohhh, well now that explains it all," said Willow sarcastically.

"Yes, I know, I am a whiz when it comes to money," replied Anya happily.

"Tell me why I'm even working the register again?" asked Willow.

"Willow, I am too busy, my fiesta is a week away, and me and Xander have preparations to make."

"Yes, because picking out what candy to put in the piñata is such hard work," added Xander.

"Xander, shut up! Unless I won't roll you up into that human taco and smother you in hot sauce like you wanted me too," said Anya.

"An, how many times have I told you? Not in public, please?" pleaded Xander.

"Okay my lil fajita..so how did it go with Spike yesterday?"

"Actually, better than I thought it would," said Xander. "He's now officially the best man, and I guess you could even call us friends."

"Wow, I'm glad things worked out well with you two," added Tara.

"Yeah me too," said Willow. "Because, I've always had a soft spot for Spike, and I'm glad we're finally excepting him as a scooby."

"Wait a sec Will, no one said anything about him becoming a scooby," argued Xander. "I mean, not everyone can just become a scooby, it's a long and hard process, with lots of tests and tricky forms to fill out."

"Xander..Spike is a part of the gang now, he's our friend..remember, this is for Buffy," said Willow.

"I, I never had to take any tests," said Tara.

"Willow, I know your were looking forward to be my maid of honour and all…"

"Oh yea Anya, I get the privilege of wearing a hot pink dress and a diamond studded sombrero, whoo hoo! Wouldn't give it up for the world," said Willow sarcastically.

Anya , not catching on to Willow's sarcasm, said "Well Willow, I'm very sorry to have to tell you this, but you are no longer my maid of honour."

"Really! I'm not!? Yes!" squealed Willow. After getting strange looks from the gang, she quickly said, "Oh man, that's too bad."

"Yes, see you will not be the maid of honor anymore because I've decided that Buffy will be the maid of honour, since Spike is the best man..it'll be the perfect opportunity for them to have to be around each other," explained Anya.

"So, does that mean I get to wear the turquoise dress?" asked Willow.

"Why yes, you do, you and Buffy will switch dresses."

"Yes! Now I won't look like a pink flamin…" but she stopped when she saw a hurt look come into Anya's eyes, "The turquoise brings out my eyes and my hair so much better," Willow said.

"Yes, I agree. So it's settled. Buffy is now the maid of honour!" exclaimed Anya.

"Buffy is now the what?!" yelled Buffy as she walked into the Magic Box.

"Oh, hey Buff," said Xander.

"Hello my new maid of honour! Can I call you my maid of honour? Wow, this will be so great..now you get to wear the hot pink dress and the matching sombrero!" exclaimed Anya.

Just then Giles walked out of the back room, hot fudge sundae in hand.

"Willow, where'd that can of whipped cream go? I need it to put on my sundae," asked Giles.

Willow was about to answer, but was distracted by a loud bang.

"Oh my god Buffy!" yelled Xander.

Buffy had fainted, it was too much for her to handle. First, the news of her being maid of honour, then the fact that Giles wanted *whipped cream.*

"Spike" was the last thing she muttered before she slipped into blackness.
