The Given Gift

A/N: Thanx for all of the good reviews.

            It was 7:00 pm. Buffy's funeral had just started. Buffy just couldn't believe that everyone was wearing black. Even her friends that knew she was back were in black. She decided to go invisible so the others couldn't see her. She decided to sit near Spike.

"They're still burying me in something ugly," mumbled Buffy.

            Spike made a small smile and chuckled. Buffy started listening to what all of her friends had to say about her. Willow said that she was always there for her friends. Xander said that she would be funny even if she didn't mean to be. Angel said she was a good person to talk to. After Anya, Tara, Dawn, Wesley, and Cordelia went Spike went up. He said that she was smart and witty, but the one thing that got Buffy's attention was when he said that meeting her was the best thing that ever happened to him. Giles was the last one that went up. Buffy smiled at what he said. He said that she had been like a daughter to him. Buffy thought really hard about not telling him. She couldn't though; it would hurt to say good-bye again. She did follow Giles house and made sure he was alright. Buffy went back to the Summers' house and saw all of the Scoobies that have ever been a Scoobie was there. All except for Giles and Faith. They were all sitting in the living room talking about Buffy, Sunnydale High, and just life in general in Sunnydale. They were just sitting there talking. Oz, Tara, Willow, Spike, Cordelia, Angel, Dawn, Anya, Xander, even Wesley. Buffy was as visible as if she was alive. None of them noticed her except for Willow, Dawn, and Tara. The three of them just smiled. Buffy sat on the couch and listened to what they were saying about her.

"She was pretty pitiful as a princess for Halloween that one time and I almost got her killed too," obviously Spike was talking about that awful Halloween three years ago.

"Okay I was pretty pitiful on Halloween, but I wasn't a princess, I was noble woman and I guess I shouldn't have done that for Halloween just to impress Angel because he liked me the way I am, or was."

            They all looked up and yelled out, "Buffy!?"

A/N2: I'm sorry for the short chapter but I don't like droning on about some thing.
