The Gifts:

Part One

**Magic Box**

"We are back." Anna announced as she and Dawn carried in some bags.

"What did you buy?" Buffy asked.

"I lot of things, some are Dawn's and some are mine. Go sit down and close your eyes." Buffy did as she commanded and felt something cold and metal slip around her neck. She looked down to see a necklace, made with diamonds that said her name.

"It's so beautiful!" Buffy hugged Anna.

"I got some things for the rest of you too." Anna sat down some different sized boxes.

Willow and Tara opened theirs together. Inside of Willow's box was half a heart necklace that said "Tara" on it. Inside of Tara's was the same thing except hers said "Willow." They put them on and saw that the hearts fit together.

"Thank you so much Anna." Willow got up and hugged Anna.

Anya opened her box to see a ring with a heart emerald. Inside of the heart said "Anya & Xander." Xander had something different than the rest, his was in a bag. He smiled as he pulled out two shirts. One said, "Xan Man" and the other said "Your Girlfriend wants me." Everybody laughed at the shirts except for Anya. She said that it wasn't funny. Giles opened his, inside was a few books that made him tear up.

"How did you get a hold of these?" He asked as he looked through the books. One looked like a photo album.

"I took them from Great Aunt Hope's house when she wasn't home. That's why the letter she sent was so nasty."

"What are they Mr. Giles?"

"This one is a photo album that my parents kept, after they died, Hope took them and wouldn't let anybody have them. And the other is the family spell book that Anna's parents kept." Giles wiped his eyes.

"I knew that you would like them." Anna walked over to Giles and hugged him.

"Dawn, what did you get?" Buffy tried to change the mood.

"You know that class ring that I wanted but couldn't get?" Buffy nodded her head.

"Anna ordered me one. It'll be here in a couple of weeks. And I got me some clothes." Buffy looked at Anna who just threw her hands up in the air.

"She said that she would tickle me if I didn't. I had no choice."

"Oh Anna will you do me a favor? There is something in the training room that I would like you to get for me." Giles pointed to the room and Anna went in. A minute later she appeared laughing as she held her guitar. "Would you play for us?" Giles asked as he pulled up a chair for her.

"I suppose so, it was bound to happen sooner or later." Anna sat down and tuned the guitar for a moment and then began to play a song. Everybody watched closely.

Part Two

Hush now my baby

Hush now my love

The angels are watching

From heaven above

They know that I love you

They know that it's true

I'll stay here beside you

Whatever you do

When I wake up beside you

I wish you forever

And ever be mine

A new day tomorrow

When you open your eyes

You let in the sunshine

And all darkness dies.

"Wow, that was so cool." Dawn said. "You have to play another one."

"What other song do you want to hear?"

"Play what you want to." Anna thought about it for a minute and then began.

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road

Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go

So make the best of this test, and don't ask why

It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time

It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right

I hope you had the time of your life

So take the photographs and still frames in your mind

Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time

Tattoos and memories and dead skin on trial

For what it's worth, it was worth all the while

It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.

"I never knew that you could sing that good." Tara said

"Yeah, go ahead and add on to my ego." Anna sat the guitar down and stood up. Just then Buffy hugged her. When she did she felt something in her coat pocket.

"What do you have hid in here?" Buffy reached in a got the box before Anna could stop her. She turned her back and opened the box. Inside was a beautiful diamond ring, Buffy could nothing but stand there with her hand on her chest.

"What is it Buffy?" Willow asked from her seat. She could see tears welling up in Buffy's eyes. Anna sat down and began playing again. She played Terri Clark's song "Empty."

When she finished, Anna had tears running down her face as Buffy slowly turned around. Everybody was confused by the situation. Buffy turned to see Anna get on one knee and take the ring from Buffy. Buffy had one hand on her chest and the other at her mouth as tears streamed down her face.

"Buffy I know that we haven't known each other for long, but will you marry me?"

Part Three

Both girls were crying and Buffy couldn't speak loud enough so she just nodded her yes. Everybody gasped as Anna hugged her, picking her off of the floor.

"What the hell just happened here?" Xander asked, still not understanding everything. He wasn't the only one.

"Yes?" Anna asked to be sure.

"Yes." Buffy kissed her and then put the ring on. It was a perfect fit. It was then that she remembered Dawn. If she didn't approve then she couldn't go through it. "Dawn..."

"I'm okay with it. I talked to Anna today, she explained everything. I'm happy for you." The sisters hugged, as did everybody else.

"Buffy's getting married." Willow couldn't believe it.

"I wanted to do it better, but you decided to frisk me. Then I had no choice, but I think that I did pretty good considering I did it on the spur of the moment."

"Yeah you did. I love you so much."

"I love you too."

"I can't believe that you asked me to marry you so soon. I never would have thought that you would have done that." Buffy was looking at the ring.

"I told you that this was going to be the longest relationship that you ever had." Anna whispered to Buffy, with her head touching Buffy's. Buffy smiled as she remembered.

"How long?" Anna looked up and smiled.

"All I can tell you is that there will be no other."

"What do you mean?"

"You'll never have to worry about another heartbreak. This is your last relationship." Buffy hugged her and wondered how she was going to plan this wedding.

"We have to start planning this wedding." Buffy looked a little worried.

"Don't worry, we'll do it together and you have all these great friends to help you too."

"Willow can be my bridesmaid."

"And Tara can be mine."

"Let's go out for dinner tonight, all of us and celebrate."

There, that night, everyone found out secrets about the others. They became closer in that short period of time. And by the end of the night, everyone agreed that Anna and Buffy were truly mean for each other.
