Rating: I'm gonna go say PG.

Summary: Buffy contemplates. And I'm running out of synonyms here.
Author's Note: Grr! Argh! It's the Attack of the Plot Bunnies! Help!

I knew it.
Knew it, knew it, _knew_ it.
I _knew_ those two would end up together. They've been through so much, and they always put each other first. I knew from the moment I met them that they were madly in love with each other.
Even if he was too dense to see it and latched on me instead.
Those two have had so much trouble between them. As a couple, they've run into as many problems as me and...
Well, okay, neither actually tried to _kill_ the other, and neither had to send the other to hell. So maybe not quite as bad as the two of us.
But still! Queen Bitch and Wolfy! Even us Slayers! All three of us! We all got between the cutest, bestest couple I've _ever_ seen in my life.
No! Giles and Mom do _not_ make a cuter couple! Don't even _go_ there!
Of course, it was all unintentional. Well, unintentional on my part, anyway. _I_ certainly didn't want him drooling over me.
Well, except maybe that one time he cast that stupid love spell.
In any case, it's nice to know that at least they're gonna be happy, even if...
God! I still can't believe he left me! Just because of that annoying little soul-curse-loophole-happiness-clause thingy.
Stupid gypsies. Couldn't even get a simple curse right.
...
Hmm? Where was I? Oh, yeah.
They've had to deal with a lot of stuff that kept getting between them, not the least of which was their own thick-headed stubbornness.
First, he's too dense to even see her, even when they were on that pretend date that one time. Then, she feels sooo guilty over that so-called Fluke she was willing to lose their friendship over it.
He told me about that night, when she was in the coma, did you know that? I feel so privileged. I have Willow rights now. I'm to him what Willow used to be before the dork realized he was in love with her.
Wait... that's not good, is it? I mean, he isn't gonna fall in love with _me_ again, is he?
No, of course not. He can't. Not when they're going off together on that big road trip.
Well, anyway, like I said. I knew it. I knew those two would end up together that way.

Author's Postscript:
Ah, yes. Yet another one. I'm debating whether or not doing it from Willow and Xander's POV would ruin the effect. I certainly can't think of anyone else who might think about it, so I'm fairly certain this will be the last part.
Unless, of course, I _do_ decide to write Xander and Willow POV versions.
