Return of the Ex's - Chapter 4
The room was silent as Buffy came out of her sleep-induced stupor. She rubbed the back of her head and then noticed the group of people staring at her with open mouths and questioning eyes. "Uh, hey guys.could I talk to Willow and Dawn for a second.alone?" Everyone else quietly exited the room and Willow and Dawn sat down at the edge of the bed. Buffy took Willow's hand and looked her in the eyes. "Will, I saw Tara. She was this guardian angel in my dream. She told me I have to make a choice in the future: Angel or Spike? And then I saw these flashes of what life would be like with each of them. I was so happy in both of them. I need help...and Tara gave me a message for you. She said she still loves you. Even after what happened. She says she's so proud of you that you stopped in time and you've been good ever since." Willow had tears running down her face but she didn't make a sound. Then Buffy turned to Dawn. "Dawnie, she said she still loves you too. And she's so proud of you and she'll be watching over all of us." Dawn hugged Buffy as she started to cry. Soon they were all crying and hugging and sharing memories of Tara. ".And then she made me promise I would eat something leafy, not gummy, green for dinner that night." Dawn finished. They all smiled a little. Then Buffy remembered what she wanted to ask Willow. "Will, do you know why those vamps could enter the house without an invite? Is there some kind of spell or charm that they used? 'Cause that's really dangerous." Willow's face began to turn red. "Uh, that was kinda my fault. See, a couple of weeks ago I was shopping and I was looking for things to brighten up the house and I found this cute welcome mat." "You didn't." Buffy gasped. "I did." Willow admitted, "And it's on the front porch and I just realized that that's technically an invitation to any and all vamps.and I'm so sorry and I'm gonna go get it right now." Willow turned and ran from the room and they heard her fevered footsteps down the stairs. "Buffy, who are you gonna pick?" Dawn asked quietly, "You know when you go down there you're gonna have to." Buffy closed her eyes and leaned back against her pillows. After a few moments she opened her eyes again. "What do you think?" she asked Dawn. Dawn was amazed that her sister actually cared about her opinion, and she took a couple of seconds to organize her thoughts. "I think that Spike had been more or less good to you. He's been loyal and he loves you so much he even got a soul for you. And I think you love him too, but you won't admit it to yourself or anyone else. And I think that Angel being human is a great opportunity but it's complicated because he has a son and if you date Angel then it would be really weird if I dated Connor." Buffy laughed out loud, but contemplated what Dawn had said. "I've made up my mind." Buffy declared. She got up from her bed and marched down he stairs with an aire of determination. She strode into the living room and stopped in the doorway. Everyone looked up. "I've made my decision. I'm not going to explain my choice because I'm an adult and I don't have to. With that said, I've chosen-" "BUFFY! There's this seven-foot tall slimy purple thing at the high school! We need you!" Buffy recognized the voice and turned to see Owen standing in the foyer. "Dammit!" She shouted.
