"Buffy, I have to be honest with you. For us to live on, we must do a ritual. This ritual can be painful," said Spike.
"What do you mean painful?" asked Buffy. Her face looked confused.
"I mean that the ritual will be painful for you and I. I know I should of told you ahead of time, but I didn't want you to be all disappointed. That's all," said Spike.
"That's all!!!! That's all!! You could of told me earlier. Fuck, it's not like I have been in alot of pian already. You should of told me before. How painful are we talking about?" asked Buffy now really stressed.
"Try a demon going through your entire body, pianfu," explianed Spike.
"Shit. Oh shit. Oh my god. How long will the paian last?" asked buffy.
"Ten minutes at the most," said Spike now pulling a cigarette from his pocket and lighting it.
"Well that won't be to bad. You know, you should try to quit," said Buffy.
"Yeah. I know. Oh to let you know, your outfit for the ritual is in the bathroom. You will have to be ready for tomorrow evening," said Spike and he left, while putting out the cigarette.
Buffy began to breath in slowly and breathed out slowly. She was really nervous. She spotted the door to the bathroom and went inside and rushed to a cubical. A barfing sensation came up and she just let it all out. She was for sure quite nervous. As she leaned back, she remembered that her outfit was in here. Buffy got up and got out of the cubical to look around for the outfit. In the corner was a black, silk dress. It was squared cut at the nechk and reached down to her knees. Gold buttons where along the middle of the dress, top to the bottom. It was beautiful.
"My oh my. This is really wonderful," said Buffy. Then she looked down. There, sitting there, were a pair of lace-up shoes. Black with a white rose on the right one. They were gorgeous! She almost bean to cry. Until there was a familiar voice behind her.
"Wow. Gorgeous. Almost too gorgeous," said the voice. Buffy turned around.
"Hey Xander. And what do you mean too gorgeous?' she asked.
"You, you are too gorgeous. That dress is going to make me cry when you put it on."
"Oh hush now. I don't think you will get too emotional. But then again you are Xander," she joked around.
"Hey! Don't be too cruel now," said Xander. Buffy laid the dress down and walked out the door with Xander behind. Outside, there was Andrew, Willow, Giles, Dawn and Wood. They all were waiting for her.
"Hey, how are you doing, Buffy?" asked Willow.
"Nervous. That's all," replied Buffy. She walked over and sat down on the couch, next to Dawn. Dawn put her arms around her and huuged her. Buffy returned the hug and let go, smiling. Dawn smiled back and Giles walked over and out his hand on her shoulder. She got up and turned towards him. He looked into her eyes and he gave her a hug. She returned it and held on. Then out of nowhere, she began to cry.
"Buffy, what's the matter?" asked Giles.
"Nothing. I'm just crying because I'm happy. That's all," replied Buffy. Giles put his hand up to her hair and stroked it. He held her closer and as if he was her father, rocked her back and forth very gently. She sat down and Giles sat next to her, still holding onto her. She leaned forward onto him and laid her head on his lap. He stroked her hair gentlly. Like a father.
"Giles, I'm glad you're still here," said Buffy.
"Why do you say that?" asked Giles.
"because you are like a father to me. You are always there for me. That's all." the she drifted off to sleep. Very slowly, Giles got up and put a pillow under her head and Andrew put his jacket on top of her and they all went to the corner, which was their bed for the past while, and went to sleep.
"What do you mean painful?" asked Buffy. Her face looked confused.
"I mean that the ritual will be painful for you and I. I know I should of told you ahead of time, but I didn't want you to be all disappointed. That's all," said Spike.
