A.N.: Wow. Guess pplz. actually like this! YAY!! neways!! last chapt. was kinda intense, that was a lotta thinking on my part. heh. thanks for the

reviews. They are ALWAYS, ALWAYS appreciated and wanted! Yaya!



Ok. This chpt. is like reconciliation between Buffy and Spike, if you couldn't already tell this story is Spuffy w/others, so yaa!! I'll see

where this leads to determine whether or not I'm done. YOUR OPINIONS DO HELP INFLUENCE MY DECISIONS...heheh. yupyup.

This chpt. is also pretty sing-songy so, yaaa!! here's the disclaimers.

1. 'Forgive Me' - Evanescence. I really love this song. It's sweet.

2. 'Tonight'- David Bowie and Tina Turner, written by David Bowie and Iggy Pop (i have the lyrics for the live version on, so if you have the

the original recording, it may be a bit different, same song and singers though)

3. 'Everyday I Love You'- this was actually a song at the wedding I attended. It's sung by Boyzone. It's nice too.

----lyrics----

*personal thoughts*

actions

Anyways, on the with chapter. I hope that everyone likes it!!

----Can you forgive me again? I don't know what I said----

Spike walked out of the bathroom, he was angry, very angry. Who the hell did the bitch think she was? God's gift to the earth? *She's damn

well not.

----But I didn't mean to hurt you----

*She's the gift to my life, though.* He sighed, seeing her sitting there pathetically on the bathroom floor in tears.

----I heard the words come out----

He knew that he went a bit far, yelling at her about his 'date.' Who was just 'so attracted' to him, yeah right. *Paid the bloody bint.

----I felt like I would die,

It hurt so much to hurt you----

Just seeing the way she looked, when she was trying to keep the tears from falling was enough to drive him mad. *Bloody hell. If

looks could kill, her tearfilled eyes would've had me turn into dust in an instant. If my heart could beat it would've stopped, and shattered. If...

I need a drink.*

----Then you, not like me, You're not shouting anymore----

----You're silently broken----

She was just so damn quiet. She didn't scream or shout, she just sat there, crying, like a child. A little girl, who lost her puppy. In this case

it was sort of like that, she had lost him to his date, or so she thought.

----I'd give anything now to kill those words for you----

Spike turned around to go back, but stopped, and went back towards the reception *I need to get that drink.

----Each time I say something I regret I cry "I don't want to lose you."----

----But somehow I know that you will never leave me, yeah.----

Buffy sat on the bathroom floor, her dress all around her, her mascara was running all over causing streaks down her cheeks, and she felt

awful. *I should get up and fix my makeup.* So she went and did just that. She had been carrying a little bag that she had around her wrist, with

the basic necessities. Foundation, mascara, powder, blush, eye shadow and eye liner, and lipstick.

She went to the ladies room and sat her bag on the counter. In there she could here the music from the dance floor.

----'Cause you were made for me----

*How true, no one else has ever made me feel the way Spike does. Hot, cold, angry, happy, sad, and all at once.*

----Somehow I'll make you see how happy you make me----

Still, during there last few weeks together, everytime they finished doing the bad, there'd be some sort of conversation. He knew how to

her laugh. Something she thought she'd never be able to do again, ever.

----I can't live this life without you by my side----

"There you are. Went into the other stall, and I couldn't find you," a deep British voice said.

----I need you to survive----

Buffy looked up and saw Spike standing at the entrance of the restroom.

----So stay with me----

"Spike," she breathed, taking the sight of him in.

"Buffy," he said formally, before softening his gaze, practically calling her to him with his eyes. She ran over to him, and he took her into

his arms, lovingly, nuzzling his head into her neck.

----You look in my eyes and I'm screaming inside that I'm sorry.----

He looked up at her, "I'm sorry about everything I said back there. I just, my ego was hurt." He smiled sheepishly, at Buffy who had tears in

her eyes again. "Hey, stop that," he told her gently. "Remember, happy occasion? Buffy?"

"I'm sorry," she whispered.

"For what?" Spike questioned.

"Everything. For losing you your date-"

"She-"

"Lemme finish. I'm sorry for losing you your date, I'm sorry for going completely postal, I'm so sorry about this," she said, tracing his

barely noticable bruises that she gave him. "I'm sorry for using you, I'm sorry for leading you on, I just, I'm sorry about everything." Buffy

finished, and laid her head on his chest. Then he grabbed her by her fore arms, and had her look into his eyes.

"First things first, Priscilla is a Vampire Whore. I paid the bloody bint," he placed a finger over her lips, "No spatting at me, kitten. Alright?

You talked, my turn. Next, I told you, the bruises, I let you give me. You know I could've stopped you in a heartbeat, a big strongly vamp like

me." he chuckled, and Buffy grinned, too. "And everything else, it's fine. I understand. But I'm not sorry, Buffy. Just getting to hold you, it's

enough."

----And you forgive me again----

He leaned down, and kissed her forehead.

"Do you forgive me?"

"For what? Having a date? There's nothing to forgive, like you said, I left you," Buffy looked down.

----You're my one true friend----

"That's the past, let's focus on the now, ducks. Like right now, you are going to fix your make up. I mean, you look bloody terrible," he

chuckled.

"It's your fault," she punched him lightly, and they shared a smile.

----And I never meant to hurt you----

"We're gunna be alright pet," he smiled, and kissed her cheek.

A few minutes later, Buffy was looking shiny and new. Well, not shiny, but she looked perfect again. The two walked into the reception

room, and were greeted by a worried Willow and Tara.

"Hey, Buff? You alright? You were gone for a while?" Willow asked.

"She was feelin a lil sick from all the cake she ate," Spike covered.

"You had cake?" Willow said. *When did this happen? And why is Spike with her*

"Yeah, yeah. Lots of cake, while everyone was dancing...I uh, had too much, and I felt kinda sick. So I walked into the handicap bathroom,

unknowingly, and Spike was in there, with his date-"

"Who was sick. The bint was drunk when I picked her up, so once she barfed her guts up, I sent her home. And then, I found Buffy, not lookin

much better-"

"Yeah, and you know how I am when I'm sick. So Spike sat with me. But I didn't get sick, just drank some coca-cola, and I was all better,"

Buffy smiled at Spike, who smiled back. *whew*

"Oh, well it's good that you're f-feeling better, Buffy. You're lucky that S-Spike was there," Tara said, with a feeling that much more happened.

"And now that you're all A-okay, you can get out on the dance floor! They've got 'Tonight' on!" Willow exclaimed, as she pulled Tara onto the

floor. It wasn't an incredibly fast song, but it wasn't slow either.

Spike lead Buffy to the floor, and put one arm around her waist, and held the other hand. She had one arm around his neck, and they swayed

a bit, to the music.

----Everything 's gonna be alright tonight----

Willow held both of Tara's hands, while they swayed to the music, like everyone else. Just looking into one another's eyes, with a magical

aura around them.

----Everything's gonna be alright tonight----

Spike hummed along with the song, singing a bit, while staring into her eyes. *everything will be alright tonight,* Buffy thought gazing

into his blue eyes.

----No one moves, no grooves, no one talks, no one walks.... tonight----

Anya was swaying her head with the music too, while smiling wildly at Xander, who was just as happy as she was.

----Tonight----

----Everyone will be alright tonight----

Spike continued to sing to the song, while Buffy giggled happily, swaying some more to the beat and just looking around at everyone.

----Everyone will be alright tonight----

Tara and Willow seemed so content, not only was it the blissful looks on their faces, but there was also a light pink mist around them. No

one really thought about it, because they were all too busy dancing themselves.

----No one moves, no one talks, no one thinks, no one walks.... tonight----

"Xander, can it always be like this?" Anya asked.

"Always," he told her, before giving her a quick kiss.

----Tonight----

----I will love you till I reach the end---

Spike's stare eyes burned into Buffy's as he sang each lyric and she couldn't help but feeling the same way.

----I will love you till I reach the end----

Tara and Willow kissed, and the mist around them got even brighter, and little specks of shimmering dust mixed with the pink cloudlike

mist around.

----I will love you till I die----

----I will see you in the sky----

----Tonight----

----Tonight---- (saxaphone solo, sorta)

Do you know this song?" Buffy asked, she was tickled by the fact that Spike knew this sweet song.

"Yeah, guilty pleasure of mine during the eighties," he told her.

"This song?"

"Yup." Buffy stared at Spike thoughtfully. *Some Big Bad he was.*

"Did Dru know about it?" she asked.

"Nope. Only you do," Spike grinned at Buffy, who smiled wider than ever. *Ahhh I love him* *Told ya so*

----Everyone will be alright tonight----

----Everyone will be alright tonight----

----No one moves, no one talks, no one thinks, and no one walks.... tonight----

The pink mist had seemed to surround everyone, the entire room, and everyone was feeling the love that radiated from the dance floor from

the three couples. It was nice, for all of them to have a semi-normal moment for once.

----Tonight----

Tara leaned in slowly, and gave Willow another kiss. It was nothing phenomenal, just a sweet, 'I love you.' Which meant more to Willow

than Tara could ever know.

----Tonight----

Anya reached up, and pulled Xander's head down to hers, and they shared a sweet, passion filled kiss.

----Tonight----

Buffy and Spike's faces kept getting closer and closer, and he could hear the beating of her heart. Their lips were about to touch until

----Tonight----

"TIME TO REMOVE THE GUARDER AND THROW THE BOUQUET!" the dj yelled, causing Buffy and Spike to groan and the pink mist

disappeared instantly, and everyone around them was back to their normalselves, save the couples who were still madly inlove, just now, they

were not so touchy feely.

"Ahh yes, everyone, it is now time for the guarder and bouquet throwing. Now, can I please have every, and I mean EVERY single man,

over the age of eighteen, step onto the dance floor?" the dj said. He saw some people not getting up, and went over to have them stand. "Come on,

sir. You, in the tux. You were one of the groomsmen, man of honour, I believe! And there's no wedding band, people," he yelled while holding up

the man's left hand to show the lack of wedding band. "Get your ass up there!"

"I beg your pardon, young man?" the man of honour, asked, wiping his glasses, before being shoved onto the dance floor, into a crowd of

men. He found Spike and walked over to him.

"Ah, Rupes, what a surprise? Lookin to get hitched, eh? Who ya gunna ask?" Spike teased.

"Shut up, Spike," Giles dismissively said, to a chuckling Spike. They turned their attentions to Anya who was sitting on a chair, with Xander

on the ground right beside her. He reached his hand up her skirt, and every man started whistling, and all the girls were squealing and screaming.

"Xander, are you trying to give me orgasms? Because if you are, you are definately not touching the right spot,"Anya said.

"No, An, remember? I'm getting your guarder off so I can throw it to the other guys and then whoever catches it will get married next,"

Xander explained. "Didn't I tell you?"

"I think you tried to show me, but then we decided that we'd have sex first," she smiled, and Xander groaned, and finally got the damn thing

off. He stood up, turned around, and threw the guarder, which landed right on Spike's head. Everyone cheered and laughed and Spike rolled his

eyes. *Yeah, I'm getting married. Not.* Once the excitement was over, Spike went and sat at his spot and watched all of the girls going up. He

watche Buffy go with Tara and Willow.

"Come on ladies, eighteen and up, let's go, let's go!" the dj yelled some more. "Hmm, and some lovely ladies we do have," he said eyeing

Buffy and then eyeing Dawn, who was spotted by Buffy.

"Ahem Excuse me, missy, but just what do you think you're doing?" Buffy said, her hands on her hip.

"Nothing," Dawn said, and walked off, calling Buffy every bad name she knew.

Buffy stood there looking around at all of these girls. She could see Anya standing there, holding the bouquet and she turned around.

Every girl had their arms out wanting to catch the flowers. Anya then threw the bouquet up, and Buffy was pushed foward, and the boquet landed

in her hands. Her eyes practically popped out of her head, as Willow and Tara ran over to her, followed by Dawn.

"OMIGOD, BUFFY!" Dawn squealed enthusiastically. "This is so cool!" Buffy smiled and nodded.

"So, who's the lucky guy?" Xander came over and asked.

"Uh, um, I really don't know," Buffy stammered out, before seeing Tara look at her and raise an eyebrow. Before anyone could say anything

else to further humiliate Buffy, the DJ and a photographer came over, with a reluctant Spike.

"Alrighty, sweeheart. I wanna get your picture with this guy over here," the dj explained. Spike went over and put an arm around her waist,

and she held the bouquet with both of her hands. They smiled as the photo was taken. Then, they called Anya and Xander over to take a picture

with them.

"Yeah, that was GREAT! Now I've got another slow jam for you guys to dance to. It is dedicated to Xander from Anya. Called

'Everyday I Love You.'

----I don't know, but I believe----

Xander walked with Anya to the dance floor, and took her hand and wrapped his arms around her waist

----That some things are meant to be----

Anya put her arms around his neck, and stared into his eyes Anya knew they were meant to be, made for eachother. Nothing could ever,

would ever tear them apart. Not if she had anything to do with it.

----And that you'll make a better me----

*It cannot get any better than this.* Xander thought, while watching Anya smile at him. Watching the reason he worked to get out of his

parents home, the woman he bought an apartment for, the woman, who he'd never be able to live without.

----Everyday I love you----

----I never thought that dreams came true----

Willow looked at Tara. She was the epitome of perfection and beauty. Willow saw that now. Her dream of a lover.

----But you showed me that they do----

The kind of love Tara gave to her was pure and true. Tara helped her to advance in magic, and now she'd help her to stop her addiction.

----You know that I learn something new----

Willow taught Tara to open up, she brought her out of her shell, and into a group of friends who were the greatest. And gave her a love

that was amazing.

----Everyday I love you----

----'Cause I believe that destiny----

Anya and Xander just stood there with their arms around eachohter, speaking silent words of love and gratitude.

----Is out of our control (don't you know that I do)----

Never in a thousand years had Xander or Anya ever thought they'd be here. Xander figured he'd be working at a McDonalds, alone, living in

a craphole of an apartment. Not here, dancing with the woman he loved, his wife. *My wife. Jeez, I never thought I'd say that*

Anya thought that right now she'd be having some demon eat the flesh alive of some man who had hurt his significant other, never did she

think she'd be here, with a mortal, a mortal man, mortal herself. She never thought she'd love what she was supposed to hate, and yet she did.

More than herself. *Now, that's a first*

----And you'll never live until you love----

Until now, Tara felt like she had been sleeping all of her life, just sleep-walking though life. Doing what she needed. But now, with Willow,

she felt like she was seeing, hearing, and feeling everything for the first time. *Thank goddess for her love, my only love*

----With all your heart and soul----

Willow had loved before, but not like this. Not so much that Tara filled her heart to the point where it overflowed with love. Never. This was

something new, but something cherished and loved, too. *Thank goddess for Tara, my saving grace*



Buffy stood there, with Spike's hands on her waist, and her's on his shoulder. Suddenly getting to close to him scared her. She watched her

friends, and felt incredibly envious. She wished that she could hold Spike close and never let him go. But she had no desire to ruin the wedding.

Sure, they almost kissed before, but it wasn't like they were watching. Everyone was strangely into the music. But now, Dawn was sitting out,

Giles was too. There was no way that she could ever live such a thing down. She felt her eyes become all watery again.

----It's a touch when I feel bad----

Spike could see Buffy was depressing herself, although she probably didn't want this, he put his arms around her waist, as everyone else was

doing. He pushed her back a bit, so she would lean on him, and she did. Her arms were around him and everything.

----It's a smile when I get mad----

Buffy looked at Spike, shocked, a little angry, because people could see, but then he smiled at her, and she could not stay mad. Instead she

laid her head on the spot of his chest it had been on a lot that day.

----All the little things I am----

*Man, I love this girl. Love Buffy so much* Spike thought, his eyes starting to get a bit misty.

----Everyday I love you----

(Oooh, oooh, aaah) ----Everyday I love you more----

----Everyday I love you----

Anya and Xander kissed again, this time not bothering to move at all. They didn't care that everyone else around them was dancing and

talking. It was their day, and if they wanted to kiss, then they were going to kiss.

----'Cause I believe that destiny (ooooooh)----

Anya broke the kiss, and looked into Xander's eyes, "I love you, Xander." Anya said, letting some tears fall.

----Is out of our control (don't you know that I do)-----

"I love you too, An," Xander whispered, getting all choked up, he put his head down in on her shoulder, as they started to dance a little.



-----And you'll never live until you love-----

"This is such a great day, Tara. And I'm just so happy to be spending it with you. I love you," Willow smiled happily, at the woman in

front of her.

----With all your heart and soul----

"You know I feel the same way, Will. I love you," Tara said, smiling at Willow, just as happy as she was.

----If I asked would you say yes?----

Spike started into Buffy's green eyes, and brought a hand to her face, and stroked it lovingly, watching her shut her eyes, and nuzzle into

his soft touch. He had a small smile on his face.

----Together we're the very best------

Buffy had never felt so relaxed She took her hand, and covered Spike's hand on her face. Then, she surprised Spike and herself, by kissing

his palm.

----I know that I am truly blessed----

Spike took her little hand and kissed her fingertips softly, causing her to blush.

----Everyday I love you----

He bent down, and whispered into her ear, "I love you."

----And I'll give you my best----

Buffy kissed his cheek sweetly, willing the tears not to fall. She smiled up at him, and then she lowered his head, and kissed him.

----Everyday I love you ----

"I believe you," Buffy told him, and he was shocked, as was she, when he felt a tear fall from his eye.

So, whaddya think? Like it? Hope so!! Should I do more? Reviews, pluhhheezzzee!!!!
