Start, part Four.

Ok... While watching Seeing Red, I literally almost threw up. And YAY, KIDDIES! It gets worse. I mourn Tara, obviously Buffy lives, and what the hell? Spike? Gaaaaaaaaah... It's kinda pissing me off. Actually, it's really pissing me off. So! Off to the fluff-fantasy world. Thank you so very much for all your lovely reviews.

However. There will not now, nor ever will there be, any story of mine that will take place in a baz-million mile RADIUS of Chucky Cheese. I hate that dang rat. He's EVIL. He STALKED me the whole time I was there for my friends little bro's party. Creepy, much?? *shiver*

Btw, Dawnie (who thinks big spike is ugly) gave me the idea for Burger King. Awwww... isn't it cute? It will be anyway.

Little Buffy bounced up to Will'um. "Guess what?"

Will'um sniffed once, then said, "What?"

"I'm gonna be FIVE! In three days!" Buffy messed up her fingers though, putting up first three, then five fingers.

He smiled smugly. "I'm still older'n you."

Buffy whacked him in the head. "Poophead. So... Umm... My mommy is havin' a party for me at Burger King. An'... I thought... ya know... You could come... ya know... If you wanted to."

Will'um scrunched up his nose. "You don't have a king."

Buffy rolled her eyes. "It's a fun place, Will'um. Umm... Like... Um... McDomino's." She nodded firmly. "We get to play in their park, too. And they give away toys."

Will'um's eyes got huge. "Trucks?"

Buffy nodded. "An' cars, an' Barbies."

Three Days Later.

Will'um jiggled the wrapped box in his lap. Squirmed uncomfortably, thinking about meeting the King.

Linda looked at her son, and smiled. "Are you going to have fun at Buffy's party?"

He nodded enthusiastically. "We'll have lots ah fun. Buffy said they give away toys. Like trucks. An' cars. But she likes the barbies." He snorted.

Buffy adjusted her pointy party cap. Smiled down at her sunshine embroidered jeans and sunny yellow tank top. And was a blonde streak of laughter running across to the entrance of the Burger King.

"WILLOW!!!"

A similar red streak flew across to collide with the blonde one. The two laughed and talked loudly.

"Hi, Buffy." The two little girls spun to face the newcomer. His dark brown hair was definitely tousled, falling slightly into his face, but never quite hiding his mischievous brown eyes. He grinned crookedly at his girls. "Happy birthday!" He extended a card and package.

Buffy smiled at 'Xander and hugged him, grabbing at the package as her mother snatched it out of her hands.

"But... Moooooooooooom..." Her high-pitched wail began.

"Buffy," Joyce scolded. "Wait till cake."

Buffy acquiesced grudgingly. The three friends made jokes and played tag for a while. Then, Xander and Buffy turned to wrestling, with Willow as the referee.

Presently Joyce interrupted their game, holding a confused looking Will'um by the hand. "Hunny, the last person is here! Linda and I are gonna get food. You guys go play."

Will'um looked bewildered around him. Who were these people? And who was that... boy on her?

Buffy got up, brushing herself off, laughing. Walking over to Will'um, she gave him a quick smile.

"Will'um, these are my bestest friends. Willow, and Xander." She turned a beaming smile on the two. "Guys, this is my new OTHER bestest friend. Will'um. He's from Brittany, so he talks some different than us."

Xander sized him up. "Hi." It was less than friendly. Buffy had another bestest boy friend??

Willow smiled brightly, chirped, "Hi! I'm Willow! You wanna come play with us in the balls?"

"Wh-Where's the King?" Will'um looked around him, waiting for some huge, disapproving fat man with a crown to descend and behead them all.

Buffy thought Will'um looked totally upset. But before she could pat his hand, Xander had laughed.

"There's no king, silly!"

Buffy gave Will'um an apologetic look, then yanked Xander's hair. Hard. "Don't be mean to him! He's my friend."

She grabbed Will'um's hand, and they and Willow set off for the balls. After one brief pouting moment, Xander yelped, "Wait for me!!" and hurried after them.

Buffy was so excited that her butt wiggled. Her smile was so wide it hurt. And was liberally smudged with the white cake that was her favorite.

"Presennnnnnnnts!!!" She squealed. The pointy cardboard party hat poked through the Burger King crown she wore, too. She was the only one allowed to wear a crown, she thought smugly. It was her birthday. But everyone wore the pointy hats, too.

Her mom handed her one wrapped package and a card. Tearing open the envelope, Buffy read, "Buffy. You are my bestest friend. Happy birthday. Love, Xander."

Joyce gently took the card from Buffy, which had dinosaurs on it, and read, "You're dino-mite! Happy birthday to a great friend. Your friend, Xander Harris."

Buffy smiled beamingly at Xander, and proceeded to tear into the paper. Holding a newly uncovered box in front of her, she gaped. In elegant script across the box read, "Ballerina Princess Barbie".

Standing in her chair, Buffy leaned precariously over it to give Xander a huge hug.

Next was Willow's present. The box was little, so Buffy opened it carefully. Inside was a little ring in the shape of a crown, with three pink stones in it, and a very pretty necklace. She stretched the ring to fit her finger, and squealed at Willow. "It's so pretty!!! It's a princess ring!!!" Willow nodded shyly.

Will'um swallowed, and handed Buffy his package. He hoped she liked it.

Buffy opened Will'um's carefully, too. When she got through the paper, it was just a plain cardboard box. She wrestled with the tape sealing it for a moment, then Joyce came and cut it.

In the box, amidst crumpled newspapers, was a pink pig, with a purple ribbon around it's neck. The tag attached to the pig read, "Mrs. Gordo". Buffy frowned at it, and pushed it up to Joyce.

With a quiet "aww", Joyce read clearly, "Mrs. Gordo."

Buffy pulled the pig back, gave it a test hug. It was very soft, and very huggable. She nuzzled her cheek against it's fur, smiled. Very very soft. She smiled at Will'um. "Mr. Gordo will love her. So will I."

And as Joyce and Linda cleared the table, the four trooped off to play in the play place.

Buffy fell in the balls, thanks in part to Will'um's shove. She turned, and launched herself at him with a warcry.

"Poophead!"

And as Xander joined in to help Will'um, and Willow to help Buffy, a new band of friends was formed.

End, part Four.
