**Until Forever**



A/n: Well, this is it guys. Before I burst into tears, I might as well say that I absolutely loved writing this story. I had a lot of fun, and I hope you guys did too, by reading it. Thanks to all the reviewers, I owe everything to you guys. You are the reason I write these stories, and please continuing reviewing forever. :) So, here goes, the final chapter; but don't worry, when one door closes another always opens (okay I really hate that quote, but I felt that I had to say something witty and smart, as parting words, instead of leaving you guys as the stupid person I really am).

Review, as always.

"I know that you're probably pissed, but-"

Pause. Eyebrow raise.

"What? You and who?"

Buffy's face was shocked as she spoke to Angel over the phone. Spike stopped kissing her bare stomach to look up at her when her voice raised a few notches higher then normal.

"You have got to be kidding me."

Buffy's face broke into an amused smile. Spike motioned for her to tell him what was going on, but she brushed him away. He pouted like a little child, rolling off of her and propping himself against the headboard, arms crossed. Buffy felt her heart melt, and she had to give him a quick peck on the lips for that one.

"So, it what, just happened?"

Buffy rolled her eyes as she listened to his reply. Spike anxiously fidgeted beside her, wanting to know why the hell Angel was still poking his nose around here.

"Yeah, that's how most things happen. Well, I'm glad that we're okay then. Yeah. I know. Okay then, I'll see you around Angel. Bye."

As soon as Buffy dropped the phone, Spike pounced. He trapped her with his intense blue eyes.

"Why did he call? What's going on?"

Buffy grinned slyly at Spike's possessive tone. He really was just too cute. She just looked back up into those eyes, unable to do anything else at that moment.

"Well, you won't believe this. It's crazy." Buffy broke off into giggles. Spike had to clear his throat, a smile tugging on the corner of his lips, and she was snapped to attention again.

"Okay, well apparently, Angel wasn't mad over our break up, cause, well, he was too busy banging Faith." Buffy said, and then she started laughing again. Spike sat back, stunned, and then he too started laughing.

"So, then, the ponce and my ex got together, so nobody was mad about anything?" Spike asked, wanting to clarify everything.

"Yeah."

They both laughed again. The situation was just funny to them. It was almost like things were meant to be; Spike ended up with Buffy, Faith went with Angel. And everyone was happy.

Spike tackled Buffy, pulling her down onto the unmade bed with him on top of her. He looked down into her smiling face, feeling his heart squeeze with happiness.

"Who cares about them. Let's talk about us." Spike said, and Buffy nodded enthusiastically. "Oh yes, let's," she answered. Then Spike's face grew serious, his eyes full of love. He ran a hand down her bare arm, eliciting shivers from her.

"I love you, pet, you know that." Spike said softly. Buffy grinned from ear to ear, knowing that she had never been happier.

"That works out, then. Cause I love you, too."

The two smiled once more, before they met in a searing kiss. And no more coherent words were spoken for a very long time.

Love Just Like the Movies By: Anya Meyers

Well, as always in the movie world, things have been tossed upside down and around again. Unexpected, shocking love blossomed, and a new movie set all- time records.

As you may already know, the huge movie "Until Forever" came out last Friday, which had many big name stars in leading roles; also, Sylvio DeMarci directed the whole shenanigan. The movie was based upon a modern day mobster-Romeo and Juliet-esque plot, which was absolutely tear jerking and heart breaking. The lead roles were played by Buffy Summers and William 'Spike' Gilbert, with some minor roles done by Willow Rosenberg, Xander Harris, and Tara Benning. Now, I know you're all surprised by the all-star cast, but when we first heard about the cast line-up, we were most shocked by the fact mutual enemies Summers and Gilbert would do such a hot 'n heavy role together (hey, that reminds me; this movie ain't for the little wee ones, that's for sure). Ever since we can remember, the two have publicly dissed each other and basically hated for several years. And then all of a sudden we hear word of a huge movie they're doing together. To say the least, we were surprised.

But that's when everything went askew. After the movie wrapped up production, the two went public that they were dating! Not only that, but that they were deeply in love with each other, and engaged! That completely blew our minds. You see, here at our magazine office, we love all gossip and we usually know the what's what before it comes out. But the sudden coupling of the former fueders made us drop our mouths in shock. We had no clue, not even a hint, that these two beautiful people would get it together so quickly, and so strongly. I mean, now when you see the two together they look like the perfect couple; holding hands, necking appropriately, and just generally making us all sick with jealously. Blech. Nauseating. I wish I had a hot man like that, warming me every night. . . well, anyways, the two are madly in love and happier then ever. Crazy? Sure. But when you see the two together, after years of fighting, you just know where all that passion and intensity went. We give major props to Sylvio for casting the two, and doing such a fine job on the excellent movie. Good luck and best wishes to the blonde haired dynamic duo.

And if I have one thing to say to you, GO AND SEE THE MOVIE. It's absolutely amazing, beautiful, ironic, heart breaking, full of total happiness and desertion. An appropriate romance-tragedy flick. And, hey, even the guys will love it; tons of mob murder scenes. Always good for dates. . . well, dates if you actually want to watch the movie. Cause believe me, with this one, you won't want to miss a second off it, nevermind your incredibly hot, and horny, boyfriend.

K, that's it, I'm signing off now. Toodles.

Mercedes looked at Anthony with pain in her eyes. Together they stood on the top of the skyscraper, hundreds of feet down to the bottom, in the middle of chaos. Enemy bodies strewn around them, crumpled in heaps on the roof. Alex stood a few feet in front of them, maniacal smile on his handsome face, large gun gleaming in the moonlight from his left hand. There was no escape.

The two were looking into the very face of death. Anthony had been able to fight off the hit men, but he was out of bullets. His own best friend, and adopted brother, lay dead on the floor, bullet wound filled with blood that shone eerily in the stark light. Mercedes had followed him up here, not wanting him out of her sight. After all, he was now her husband. Though they weren't able to escape from the country as they planned, it didn't deter from the fact that they still loved each other more then life itself.

Alex stepped up to the pair, who were holding hands tightly. Anthony tensed up, but since he was unarmed he was helpless to protect his love. Her well being was the only thing that mattered. She gave him a reassuring squeeze, then turned to glare at the man she thought she used to love. He grinned at the lovers, face twisted crazily.

"So, this is where we all end up. You two, married, but about to die at the hands of a man that never intended any harm in the first place."

Alex shook his head in mock-sadness. Mercedes' eyes filled with glistening tears, hating this man for being so selfish and cruel. So cold hearted, just like the mobster he truly was.

"Leave Mercedes alone, bastard. I'm the one you really want to get revenge on, right? Let her go." Anthony said angrily to Alex, but it seemed to have no effect. Mercedes shook her head feverently.

"No way, baby. We're in this one together."

The couple looked into each other's eyes, fearing for themselves and each other. So tragic, a love that never really had the chance to be. Alex ruined the moment by chuckling harshly.

"Aw, look at you too. All ready to die for each other." He batted his eyelashes. "So sweet and beautiful. So tragic." His façade dropped, and a mask of cruelty slid over his face. He cocked the gun. "But love won't save you anymore. I wanna see you two get out of this one, with just your precious little love to cling too."

And as he held the gun up, pointing it at the two, the lovers shared a meaningful look. Gazing deep into each other's eyes, volumes were communicated. And so was the ultimate message.

"I love you, and I always will," Mercedes whispered sadly, her tears finally spilling down her trembling cheeks. She wanted to die.

"Oh god baby, me too. I love you more then life itself. I'll always be with you, I swear." Anthony said back, fiercely, his heart breaking.

They shared one last thorough kiss. It was passionate and searing. Alex sneered, and got ready to shoot. But before he could pull the trigger, the couple in front of him unexpectedly turned. Clasping hands tightly, they took off at a run. Alex, confused, didn't know where they could be going. He started a few steps, knowing that the only way down was the edge. But jumping would mean death. Instant death.

In slow motion, the couple ran, ran like there was nothing in this world that would ever stop them. Faster still, approaching the edge, they looked at each other once more, tears shining on their faces. Sharing a shaky smile, they finally came to the ledge that would end in death. With one last final, tearful smile, they jumped, hand in hand, together in peace, at last, over the edge into the choking blackness below.

And then everything went black.

The movie ended.
