Willow sighed. She was at the prom. She had a nice dress. She had a nice date. All was perfect. So why didn't she feel perfect?

Oz blushed. "Um, Willow?"

Willow glanced up. ''Yes Oz?"

"I will be right back. Men's room calling. Excuse me, ok?"

Willow blushed. "Sure Oz, I will be right here."

As Oz walked away, she sat down and began to think. If everything was perfect, why was she feeling down? Nice dress, nice date, nice corsage, but something was missing.

She glanced around at all the couples. Xander and Larry had disappeared. She giggled. {I never would have guessed that. At least they are happy.} Cordelia was standing by the curtains, talking to someone, but she couldn't see who. {Poor Cordy, she really did like Xander.} Buffy and Angel were out on the dance floor, smiling. {I am glad she got Angel back. Too bad it was after Jenny's death.}

She looked over at Giles. {Too bad. He looks so alone. Maybe I can cheer him up.} Standing up, she walked over to Giles slowly.

"Hey Giles."

Willow stood close to him. She could smell his cologne. It was strong, but not overpowering. It smelled very nice. She realized Giles smelled really good tonight.

"Good evening Willow. Are you having a good time?"

Willow smiled up at him. {Giles looks good tonight. Nice suit, no tweed for a change. Did he always look this good and I just didn't notice?}

"I don't know Giles. Oz is nice, a great guy, everything is perfect, but something is missing. "

Giles smiled down at Willow. "Well Willow, I am sure that it is nothing. Probably prom jitters if anything. Just sit back, relax, and have a good time."

Willow smiles and hugged him tightly. "Thank you Giles."

Just then, Oz appeared. "Hey Will, Hello Giles."

Willow smiled at Oz. Giles only nodded.

"C'mon Will, let's dance."

Willow let Oz pull her away, sighing. {If they are just jitters, then why do I want to stay and talk to Giles more. Why was I thinking about him earlier? }

The End ...
