Tears and Fears:

Part One

**Summers House**

"Good morning, my soon to be wife." Anna kissed the slayer that lay on top of her.

"Good morning to you too."

"We have to go to the shop today and start planning the wedding."

"I don't want to move though. I'm comfortable; can't we just find a drive-thru?" Buffy said, sleep still in her voice.

"Come on now honey. You're just sleepy right now, once you wake up it'll be different." A noise stopped them from talking farther. The door opened, Willow was standing at the door smiling.

"At least you're dressed this time." Buffy buried her face into Anna chest to hide her embarrassment.

"One time, okay? One time you caught us." Anna sat up pulling Buffy with her.

"Breakfast is ready and we have to start planning the wedding. By the time we get done with all that, you're hair will look a little presentable." Willow pointed at Anna's now growing hair. It had grown down to her chin by now. She decided to leave it black until it got long enough for her, then she would change it her original color.

"You are so funny. Buffy has decided that she wants a drive-thru wedding." Buffy smacked Anna on the arm and got up to stretch.

"How much did you let her drink last night?" Willow asked as Buffy stumbled to get her clothes.

"Nothing, she's just a little tired. She didn't get much sleep last night."

"I told you that I don't want to know about your sex life." Willow threw up her hands and closed her eyes, hoping that would erase the image that came into her head.

"Sure you do." Anna got up and kissed Buffy once and headed for the door. She reached out and kissed Willow on the cheek then ran out the door.

"I hate it when you're girlfriend does that!" Willow said, wiping her cheek.

"She does it because she knows that you hate it." Buffy smiled at Willow. "I can't believe that I'm getting married." Buffy said almost in a whisper.

"Get ready, we have some planning to do before something goes bad. This is the hell mouth after all." Willow headed downstairs for breakfast.

**Magic Box**

"Okay here is what we have so far: Xander is going to walk me down the aisle. Giles will walk Anna. Willow is my bridesmaid, and Tara is Anna's. Dawn will be the flower girl and Anya will be the ring barer." Buffy read from the paper.

"Sounds good to me. Have you picked a church?" Xander asked, proud that he got to be apart of this wedding.

"I think that we're going with St. Mary's a couple of blocks from here. It's where my mom got married." Buffy looked over at Anna. "I wish that she could be here."

"I wish she could too. I would have liked to have met the woman who created such a beautiful woman." Everybody put their said faces on and "awed" and the gesture of love.

"We've got to go pick up the dress tomorrow. And book the church. Other than that, I think that we have everything. Except for your hair color." Buffy ran her hands through Anna's hair laughing.

"Why is everybody picking on me about my hair?" Everybody laughed.

"What day is this all going down?" Xander asked.

"April 15, that was Mom's birthday."

"So that is a couple of weeks from now." Giles said, checking his calendar.

"Well, what do we do for the rest of the day?"

"Working on giving my key would be great, if its not too much trouble."

Part Two

"Glory, what are you doing here?" Anna said calmly, holding Buffy down in her seat.

"I want my key! And slayer bitch won't give it." Buffy tried once more to jump at the god but couldn't move. Anna was stronger than she thought.

"Go away Glory. Find somebody else to torture."

"And who's going to make me? You and your gang?" Glory scoffed at the group.

"Just me, and that's all I need. You are not going to interrupt this wedding." Anna said through clenched teeth.

"Who is getting married? You should have told me, now I don't have enough time to get a present."

"This is my wedding and I'm not going to let you ruin it." Anna walked a few steps towards Glory. Everyone else sat half in fear and half in amazement.

"You are getting married? Well that's a shock. I thought that you were already married to that little Japanese girl, or that one you were living with in LA? Well there was your first, Tara." Glory whispered Tara's name so that no one would hear her. Anna held up her hand and shot a ball of white light from her hand. The force knocked Glory to the ground as her minions scurried to pick her up. "You bitch I will get you." Glory and her minions left the store in a hurry.

"Anna, are you okay?" Buffy rushed over to check her lover.

"Yeah, I just wish I knew how to kill her. I will not let her ruin our wedding." Anna looked up at the ceiling then down at Buffy.

"Go ahead; go find out what they want." Buffy reassured her lover to talk to her bosses. Anna disappeared.

"Doesn't that bother you?" Tara asked.

"What? The whole disappearing to talk to people that we can't meet?" Tara nodded her head.

"Sometimes, but it's her job."

Part Three

**Elders**

"Anna, don't get your hopes up, but we think that we might have a way to get rid of Glory." The first voice said.

"How?"

"We have talked to the gods that were ruling when Glory was. They might have a way to get rid of her." The first voice continued.

"You mustn't tell the others." The second, Irish, voice said.

"Is that all?" Anna wanted to kill her right now.

"We want to congratulate you on getting married. We have a wedding present for you. You will get it on your wedding day." The third voice said. Anna could hear that he was smiling.

"Thank you guys so much. I really appreciate it."

"We want to see you happy. We did you raise you after all." The Irish voice said.

"We are like your fathers." Anna smiled and left to join her lover.

**Magic Box**

"What did they want?" Willow inquired from the counter.

"To tell me that they are proud of me getting married and that they have gotten us a wedding present." Anna wrapped her arms around Buffy.

"What did they get?" Buffy laid her head on Anna's chest. Every time the Buffy touched her, her heart would beat fast. Even now it still would.

"They wouldn't say, all they said was that we'd get it on our wedding day."

"I can't wait. I have to go pick up Dawn from school." Buffy frowned as she looked at her watch.

"You want me to come with you?"

"That's all right, I'll drop her off at Melinda's house."

"Is she okay with the whole idea of moving into my house?"

"She's more than okay she can't wait. She is ready for a big house with servants." Buffy kissed Anna goodbye and left.

"Dawn will love living in your house." Willow answered as Anna sat down.

"I hope so; I don't want her to be uncomfortable with this marriage."

"You are sweet and lovingly, she loves you. You two get along great; nothing will mess this marriage up." Tara comforted her friend.

"Thanks, I needed that."

**Buffy's Car**

"When are we going to start packing?" Dawn asked as she sat down in the car.

"We might start tonight or tomorrow." Buffy started the car and drove off.

"I can't wait; it's going to be so cool living in that house." Dawn said excitedly.

"I'm glad that you're okay with this." Buffy smiled at her little sister.

"Do you think she'll ever go back to her band?"

"I don't know, you'll have to ask her that." Buffy dropped Dawn off and went back to the store.

**Magic Box**

"Let's go to the Bronze." Buffy said as she walked in the door.

"Why not?" Anna stood up.

"It's a little early for that isn't it?" Tara asked.

"So, I'm bored and I want something to do until it gets dark."

"Good logic." Xander followed Buffy and Anna out the door.

"He only wants to go so he can see them make out on the dance floor." Willow said to Tara.

"Willow, please." Giles said as he watched everybody leave.

Part Four

**Bronze**

Buffy and Anna danced to the song "Lucky" by Bif Naked. They held each other close, just listening to their heartbeats. When the song ended they sat down on the couch with the rest of the gang. Xander was going crazy being stuck in the middle of two lesbian couples. On his left was Buffy and Anna and on his right were Willow and Tara. Anna saw the distress in his eyes and decided to mess with his head. Willow must have seen it too. Both girls smiled at each other evilly and then at their lovers. Anna slid her hand up Buffy's skirt and began kissing her on the neck. Willow straddled Tara and started doing to the same. Xander whined out in pain as he watched Anya was a little intrigued too.

Buffy moaned out loud when she felt Anna's beeper go off. The group watched as Anna laughed at her, pulling her beeper out of her pocket.

"Get more pleasure out that than me?" Anna laughed and went to answer the page.

Anna ran back and grabbed Buffy.

"Shit, Buffy guys come on. Glory got Dawn."

"What, how could she?" Everybody ran out.

"I don't know but she does. She took to start the process. It begins tonight."

"I thought that it didn't begin..."

"I don't know but we have to hurry."

Anna took the group off to a road that they had never seen before. She ran behind and saw

Glory standing with her minions. Anna stopped the group and pulled them out of earshot of Glory.

"Guys, stay here I have back up."

"Where, who?" Buffy asked breathless.

"I know of a higher power. Just stay here; don't let her know that we're here." Anna

disappeared to her Elders.

**Elders**

"So what the hell do I do now?" Anna asked, still trying to catch her breath.

"Calm down, they're here." The first voice pointed to a small group of male and females.

"They will go with you and stop her."

"Then let's go now!" Anna motioned for them to come closer.

"Wait, you must stay out of their way when they start. Keep everybody away from Glory when she dies. No one must watch the power behind the spell can kill mortals." The voice said.

Anna and the gods disappeared.

"May she be safe." Prayed the second voice.

**Alley**

"Where is she? I can't wait much longer. Screw this, I'm going in." Buffy ran down the dark alley with the gang right behind her. "Where is she?" Buffy called out, causing the god to turn around.

"Well, look who decided to show up."

"Buffy get back, everybody get back." Anna called out as she and the gods ran down the alley.

"What is this?" Buffy asked.

"I told you that I had a higher power. We have to move the spell is too powerful it'll kill you. Go to the end of the alley and wait there. I'll get Dawn." Before Buffy could protest, Anna was gone.

"It's so nice to see you again Glory." Said one male god.

"Guys, it's been so long. I was fixing to join you again." Glory said nervously. She started backing up.

"I should've killed you when I had the chance." Anna said as she moved closer to Glory.

"But you didn't and you don't have to now either." Glory pleaded with her killers.

"Yes we do Glory. You created too much evil for this world to handle. And you want to release it again. We can't let that happen." Said a female god.

"Guess this is where you say you goodbyes." Anna said as she flew up to get Dawn. She took her necklace off and put it on Dawn.

"Don't take this off no matter what. Don't let anybody take it from you. It'll protect you." A man who Dawn didn't recognize appeared. "I want you to hold on to Jake real tight okay? He'll take you to your sister." Dawn nodded and grabbed the stranger. They disappeared; Anna went to the Elders.

**Elders**

"This will kill her for good?" Anna asked.

"Yes it will." Said the voice.

"It better be a damn good wedding present that's all I have to say." Anna went to her lover.

**Alley**

"Anna, are you okay?" Buffy asked, hugging her lover.

"Yes, stay here. I'll be right back." Anna took off down the alley; she stopped and watched for a moment. The spell was already over, and Glory lay dead on the ground. Anna, forgetting what the Elders had said, walked up closer to the body. A red ball of light shot from Glory's body and hit Anna in the shoulder. The force was so strong that she tripped backwards and hit the wall. The gods quickly picked her up and moved to the end of the alley with Buffy.

"Are you okay, what happened?" Buffy looked at the wounded with worry.

"I'm okay it'll heal." Like all the times before, Anna winced in pain as her eyes went solid black then back to gray as the wound finished healing. All that was left was the blood on hers and Buffy's hands. "I guess that's what they meant when they said to stay away from Glory, even after she was dead." Anna tried to laugh but she was still in pain. Her right arm hurt and looked like it was swelling a little.

"We need to get up to the hospital." Buffy picked her up and headed for the car.

Part Five

**Sunny Dale Hospital**

"What did they say Buffy?" Willow asked from her seat in the waiting room. It was night and there wasn't anybody in the ER except for them.

"She just broke her arm. They're putting a cast on it right now." Buffy sat down next to Dawn and hugged her. "Are you okay too?" Buffy asked again.

"Yeah, Anna gave me this necklace to wear. She said that it would protect me." Dawn looked down at the necklace and smiled. She knew that Anna cared for her too.

"A broken arm, I never would have thought." Anna smiled as she signed the last papers at the desk. She walked over and hugged Buffy. "I'm fine, don't worry. I only have to keep it on for a week, maybe less. I didn't break it all the way. I'll have it off by the time the wedding comes."

Dawn stood up and handed the necklace to Anna. "I told you, that belongs to you. You wear it and it'll protect you." Anna pushed the necklace back at Dawn. "Come on, we have some packing to do." The group walked out of the ER with the relief that Glory was defeated and they could get on with their lives.

**The next day, Summers house**

"Is that everything?" Anna asked looking around the empty house.

"I think so; I'll go check everything again." Dawn walked off. Buffy eyes welled up with tears as she thought of leaving the home that she grew up in.

"We don't have to sell it, we can keep it and let Dawn have it." Buffy tried to smile but only started crying lightly.

"I'm going to miss this house so much. But I'm moving in with the woman that I love. It'll be all right. I don't want to decide what to do with the house just yet."

"Okay, we won't sell it right now. It's not like we need the money." Anna smiled, trying to cheer Buffy up.

"Less than two weeks and we'll be married."

The three girls packed the last box into the van they rented and took off for their new house.
