The Dream
As soon as she had made her decision Buffy's attempt at sleep was no trouble. Buffy soon found her self dreaming. She was in a room bathed in white, and she wore a white gown that shimmered in the light that the room provided. It was cut straight at the height of her cleavage and it flowed straight up and down. Its straps were thick and lay directly over her shoulders. She slowly turned around taking in her surroundings. There was nothing in the room but what appeared to be a doorway. It looked rather familiar to her but she couldn't put her finger on where she had seen it before. Suddenly she heard a whoosh, like the sound of someone appearing. She turned towards the sound to see a man. He was about 5'8 with brown hair and a soft featured face. He looked rather godlike in appearance as she gazed at him curiously she noted that he was wearing a gown just like hers but more manly and in gold. He smiled at her and began to speak.
"Hello Buffy" he said nonchantly. She noticed that he had a Irish accent and he was becoming more and more familiar to her and yet she couldn't remember from where.
"Hello...umm not to be rude but what is going on?"
"always asking questions, just like last time." he laughed
"there was a last time?" she asked.
"Yes the last time you were here it was because you were being judged and such before you went to what you would call heaven, how quickly you forget" he smiled "but you obviously you didn't stay there long now did you lass?"
"I guess not" she replied her anger coming "but believe me that was not my doing, my friends they thought I was in --"
"Hell?" he said quizzically
"Yes...."she said glumly.
"now why would they think something stupid like that? you are a slayer, the best slayer, and you died doing a selfless act...sounds like a rather strange assumption if you ask me"
"I didn't ask... and I understood there actions and I don't blame them, but of course what you just said sounds true as well" Buffy said quietly.
"well then as long as you forgive them I suppose that's all that matters, on your part..."
"what do you mean on my part? who are you?"Buffy said quickly.
"You don't remember me?"
"No" she said forcefully
"You met me briefly about 2 yrs ago, I used to help Angel...the name is Doyle"
"I remember you, when I went to go see Angel at thanksgiving you were there, you have visions don't you?"
"I used to...I was made to give that gift to Cordy..." he said glumly "when you see her again can you tell I am sorry for that?"
"yea sure..." Buffy said "if you died why aren't you in heaven?"
"well the powers' thought it would be better if I was to an oracle, they seem to think that I have a way with people, at least I am better than the brother and sister team, anyway the reason you are here". There was a pause and then Buffy spoke.
"So I am not dreaming am I?"
"no..well you are in a sorts I suppose..this is the Powers that be's way of contacting you". Suddenly another man appeared wearing the same clothes as Doyle. He was short and kinda fat. Buffy almost immediately recognized him as Whistler.
"Hello Buffy, it's a pleasure to see you again" Whistler said.
"I am sure it is" Buffy said dryly "can someone please tell me why the Powers' that be are contacting me when I sleep?" she said getting almost angry, she didn't like getting interrupted from sleep, she couldn't get much of it these days. 'oh well' she thought 'at least it's a change from the nightmares'
"Well" Doyle began "we have become aware of your err well situation with William"
"yea so?"
"So the powers want to make sure if you know what you getting yourself into...the last vampire that entered your life like this was Angel and we all know how that story goes"
Whistler said.
"Yes, well most of us know the whole story, our dear slayer here doesn't" Doyle said addressing Whistler.
"What are you talking about? of course I know the whole story! Hello, my life guys"
"No Buffy, you do not know the whole story.." Whistler said cautiously.
"Huh?" Buffy said greatly confused. Then suddenly there was a flash and Buffy fainted.
Meanwhile back in Sunnydale...
"Tara, how come you are supporting this?" Willow asked
"because Buffy deserves this! She has been through so much I think that she has at least earned a little happiness...and if Spike is the one that makes her happy than let her be happy!" Tara said angerly and yet not very convincingly.
"there is more to this Tara I can tell...Why do you want Buffy and Spike together?" Willow said almost pleading to Tara to change her mind.
"W-W-illow I-I did a spell almost a month ago...just before Sweets' arrival...I did a seeing spell" Tara confessed.
"You looked into the future? did you look at mine? is that why you want me to stop using magic?" willow said, she was upset and when Tara didn't answer it made her more frantic.
"Tara what happens to me? Do I do something bad?!"
"I am not going to tell you because I know that it won't matter.."Tara said quietly.
"Tell me!!"
"You kill me..ok? are you happy now that I told you?" Tara said almost in tears.
"w-what?"
"you use a mind spell on me and suck all my power and kill me..." Tara bawled.
"oh my god Tara..I am so sorry!"willow said crying "Is that why you were so upset when I used that forgetting spell on you?"
"I had every right to get mad Willow, you are you using to much magic! despite what I know, this is bad for you!!" Tara said almost ready to scream.
"Tara, I swear no more magic, I quit now." Willow said pleading. Tara looked into her eyes and saw the ring a regret and pain in her eyes. she knew that willow wanted to stop.
"Alright Willow, we will try and cheat fate...but if you do one spell, one incantation...I *will* bind you magic!" Tara said taking charge.
"ok...do what you have to do to me..I can't lose you Tara...I love you!"
"I know you do...I love you too"
"So what happens with Buffy and Spike?" Willow asked trying to get the subject off of her.
"Buffy is in love with him....she doesn't know it yet but she will soon. If I remember correctly she is brought before the Powers that be and they make her realize it. Spike
is to be redeemed Willow and the only one that can give him a soul is Buffy" Tara revealed. "her happiness depends on it...at first I wasn't happy about it, just like you and everyone else, but after I thought about it I realized that Buffy needs this. When we brought her back she came back different she came back...." Tara suddenly stopped.
"she came back what Tara?" willow asked.
"I can't tell you Will..."
"why not?"
"because then some things that are to happen for Buffy won't happen and she needs them to happen" Tara said quietly.
"alright, I won't ask then, even though I still wanna know, but I will back off..I know when to stop when it come to you" willow smiled.
"I will tell you this though, Spike does love her Will, more than you can ever know"
"As long as he doesn't hurt her..."
"If he does Willow...it isn't our problem, its theirs"
"alright" Willow said getting off the subject. "so does this mean were back together??"
Buffy awoke to the sound of Doyle and Whistler talking, she sat up slowly for she was still in a bit of shock. She remembered it, Angel was human, for a day, and she was with him, like a normal...Buffy began to sob.
"Uh oh" Doyle said. He lent down and touched Buffy shoulder as she a sat crouched on the floor.
"Are you alright Buffy?" Doyle asked concerned. He too had remembered that day and could imagine what kind of pain she was in right now. Buffy sniffled and stood up.
"yes" she said coldly "what's done is done I guess"
"yes, quite" Whistler said. There was a pause and then Buffy spoke.
"So what has any of this have to do with Spike and my decision regarding the two of us? you said the Powers' wanted to make sure I knew what I was doing, and I do"
"Do you love him?" Whistler said very bluntly.
"THAT is non of your damn business" Buffy said annoyed.
"actually, my dear it is, if you love William then you were brought here rightly, but if you don't than you can go." Whistler said
"what if I don't know?" Buffy said challenging the little man "what if I don't fucking know, huh? what then? what if my decision was made because I want to find out if I do?"
"then your decision to be with william was the correct one" whistler said quietly.
"fine, then can I go?" Buffy asked
"no you can't" came a female voice. Buffy spun and she nearly jumped when she who it was.
"Mom?"
