Thanx for reading and Thanx to Adriana who has helped me LotZ! *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ The look on Xander's face was priceless, and Spike was enjoying every

second. The situation was explained as Xander and Anya were led to the

living room.

"Ok, I get the dilemma, but why the peroxide wonder?" Xander asked.

He had no idea why they wanted Spike's help. Confusion was written on his

face as he looked around the room. At his side was Anya, who was being

completely unsupportive by thinking this was a good idea. In front of him on

the edge of the table were Buffy and Willow, trying their best to explain.

As they spoke he could see from the corner of his eye Dawn sitting in the

armchair with Spike at her side. He was furious that Spike, once a very

hated enemy of theirs, was taking the role that he had wanted ever since he

had met the Summers women. Buffy hadn't thought he would take it this hard.

*Lucky he doesn't know the rest of the story.* she thought.

"Look, we have no other choice. If you have any ideas I'm open to

suggestions, but otherwise you're just gonna have to deal."

Spike couldn't just sit around saying nothing.

"The wedding's at the end of the week, so either you're in or you can just

sod off."

Xander hated what was happening, but he wouldn't turn his back on Buffy.

"What can we do?"

The gang discussed what was to be done, and it was decided that, since this

was all Dawn's idea, she would be the maid of honor; and that Willow, Tara,

and Anya would be the bridesmaids. Also, though it took a lot of convincing,

Xander would be Spike's best man. The next day Willow would take the guys to

get tuxedoes while Dawn, Buffy, and Anya would go look for a wedding dress

and the bridesmaid gowns. While they were out, Tara would organize the extra

things, such as food and decorations.

Even though she was hesitant about doing this she had offered to help. She

hadn't been able to come to the Scooby meeting, but she told Dawn she would

do anything to help and to call her later with the details.

It started getting late so Xander and Anya decided to head for home. After

the good-bye's Dawn rushed up the stairs to call Tara and give her the 411.

The three remaining Scoobies wandered into the kitchen. They all got

something to drink, and when the awkward pause passed Willow spoke of the

one major obstacle they still had to deal with.

"What are we gonna tell Giles?"
