I *could* start my story with the cliché 'Once Upon A Time'.
In fact I want to.
But that's the way all fairy tales begin. And my life is about as far away
from a fairy tale as it is possible to get.
'Once Upon A Time' is for romantic fools who believe their Prince Charmings will sweep them off their feet and they'll ride off together into the sunset. I used to be one of those girls. For sometime I used to believe in that sentimental crap. As you can see now my outlook has changed completely. What happens after the happy couple rides into that sunset? Jobs? Kids? Divorce? Probably. And usually not in that order. So I ask you what good is it to have 'Once Upon A Time' if you can't have 'Happily Ever After' as well?
Ladies and Gentlemen, my name is Buffy Summers and I will be your pilot this evening. We will be experiencing a lot of technical and emotional difficulties throughout this journey through my screwy life. It promises to be a rough ride. Please fasten your seatbelts.
*********** 'But Buffy it's your *wedding* day'.
I know Willow is my best friend but at that moment I had the overpowering urge to wring her neck. And then slap her. Hard.
What did she think I was? Stupid? I knew as well as anyone what was happening. I mean it was *my* wedding after all. Mom had only cried on my shoulder a good fifty times. And the puffy white dress simply *screamed* 'Here comes the Bride'.
Oh no! *I* had no clue I was supposed to be getting married in twenty minutes. Yeah right!
I was angry. Infuriated even. But for some inexplicable reason tears were cascading down my cheeks. Woah! Who opened what tap and for how long!
'But Willow I *can't*!' I lamented burying my head in her shoulder.
'Buffy, honey you'll spoil your hair', Willow cooed as if those was the most soothing of all comforting words. Well, wonder of wonders! They were not, are not and never will be! My sobs grew longer and louder.
'It's just that.I'm n-not r-ready for marriage! I can't even l-look after m- my dog wahhhhhhhhhh.'
'Buffy a husband is a *tad* bit different from a dog,' Willow said a little impatiently.
'You gotta help me change the date of the wedding, Wills,' I managed to sniffle out.
I gave Willow my kicked-puppy cum resolve face 'combination look'. It never fails. Five minutes before the wedding we came up with a plan..

The writer of the story got bored waiting for update so she created her own story. Un-beated. Flames and positive feedback are both welcome. 'Lose Yourself' is also being worked upon with vigour.
