Notes: Another UC couple, but... It's okay, I guess. A little sad. Everything up to season 3 1/2.

It's been said that everyone gets one great love of their life... And I got three. Did I take two people's loves? Is this fair? I mean, did I like, unknowingly steal Jane Doe and John Doe's future partner? What if they come crying to me about it years later? Actually... If they never know, guess I never took them. Oh, yeah, back on topic.

Love number one... Probably the most tainted, but the happiest. It was also weird. I, the slayer, fell in love with a vampire. One time, I was lying with Angel, and I asked him how many times this had happened before. You know, a slayer falling in love with someone she was supposed to hate. Sort of a star crossed, Romeo and Juliet vibe going on there. But I did love Angel, and I still do.

Then there was love number two. My best friend, Xander Harris, and I fell in love. He'd had a crush on me forever, but it suddenly became mutual. I loved everything about him... But there was always something between us. Not physically, but mentally. I loved him, too, no doubt about it. I'm not sure if I was every really in love with him, though.

Both of those affairs ended sadly. Angel... Well, he's now married to Cordelia, in Los Angeles, running Angel Investigations. They have a daughter, and they can go outside, play... Yeah, Angel became human a few years ago. He called me after it happened... Then told me about the wedding. Great way to crush a girl's hopes. Of course, I knew it wouldn't happen. Soul mates may not be together in one life... Maybe the next.

Xan is dead. Yeah, he was killed by a vampire a few years ago. He was married to Anya, and they have a son. He deserved the happiness, really. We used to talk about what we wanted when we grew up, had a family... He always wanted a son. I think he would be so proud of Dan.

So... I bet you're wondering who the third was. I really don't think you would guess it. It's Oz. We met one night at a club in New York, and the rest? It's history. And I'm happy. Happier than I've ever been in a long time. And tomorrow... I'll be even happier. I'm marrying Oz tomorrow. Oh, Will's here to take me to the rehearsal and then out to the Bronze one last time. Bye!

Love,

Buffy

Annelise closed the diary... Slipping it under her bed, she rushed downstairs to meet her mom. "Hi!"

"Hey, sweetie! Have a good day?" Buffy asked, setting down her purse.

"Yeah. I found your old diary... You know, the one you wrote in before marrying dad?"

"Yeah?"

"Tell me how you met!" Annelise said, sitting down on the leather couch. "And I want to know everything!"

Buffy grinned, and sat down next to her daughter. "Well, it all began in Sunnydale..."
