Chapter Title: Olympus
Summary: FINALLY make it to Olympus with problems at hand and Dawn confesses something to Xander.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The great golden gates opened wide and the couple walked through. The room was large, and without a ceiling, giving an excellent view of the stars. It had walls in a circle shape and seemed like clouds that pulsated an opal like glow.
Spike and Buffy didn't notice the beauty of the room. They just noticed the vary large man that was easily sixteen feet high who was throwing lightning bolts. He was wearing baggy white pants and, what appeared to be, a white T-shirt.
Spike grinned and put his fingers in his mouth to whistle loudly. The large man stopped and looked down. "Poseidon bugger you off again?"
The large man shrunk down to about their size and grasped Spike into a large hug. "William! So glad you could come back!" He released the hug and looked at Buffy. "And who is this fair maiden?" Spike introduced his blushing girlfriend. He took her right hand and kissed it. "So you're the lucky woman who's courting my boy."
"That'd be me."
"I am Zeus."
"Oh!" exclaimed Buffy. THIS was him. The greatest god of them all, and Spike's dad. The latter creeped her out a little bit more. She never figured she'd meet his dad. Buffy got a good look at him. Zeus had a middle aged man's appearance, about thirty-five, but had the look upon his face that made him look immortal, which he was. He had a look of Spike because of his eyes and the way his hair was pulled.
"Oh?" he asked.
She shrugged. "It's just, you're a lot different than I would've expected. Cuz of all the stereotypes on earth with you being overly impatient and. . . well I like you a lot better this way."
Zeus just smiled. "I am often a calm being, although I do feel need to smite another on occasion." He paused then began again, "I understand you have questions." He waved his sturdy hand and out of the walls came three cloud chairs.
Buffy hesitantly sat in one of them, making sure they wouldn't drop her. "One question that's been circulating the great back at the house. If Angel was supposed to 'be the god' then how come you are Spike's dad. What I mean is-"
"She means why am I even here," finished Spike.
"To put bluntly, yeah."
Zeus laughed good heartedly. "Are you familiar with The Powers That Be?"
The pair smothered a laugh. "Just a tad."
"I'll take it you are not a fan of them."
"Not really."
The god nodded understandingly. "Let us just say, the Olympus community has similar feelings and we have been butting heads since the beginning of time. This time there was a prophesy by the Powers that involved someone becoming a god. We decided to contradict with that and put one of own people in. Every few centuries I have a chance to go to down to earth and relax for about ten years in years, a vacation in your world. That's where I met Anne, your mother," he nodded to Spike.
"So you did some mojo on her to make her want you?" he demanded in fury. "Did you just use her so you could leave?" Buffy calmly took his hand without him noticing. There obviously Dad issues here, and she wasn't going to butt in.
"Not at all. I truly loved your mother, and I wanted to stay to raise you or give you another father who wanted you as well. But she never took off the ring."
The Slayer instantly perked up, "Wow, what about the ring?"
"I gave Anne a ruby ring. It bound her as my wife in Olympus. Think of it as an impromptu wedding for the giver and the receiver. If she had taken it off, she might have had a chance at another mate, but she never did. I don't know what happened to the ring after Anne died."
Buffy fidgetted while Spike rubbed his head. "Would it happen to be this one?" asked Buffy, holding up her left hand.
Zeus looked at it. "Yes."
"So. . . Spike and me are. . . married?"
"According to the laws of Olympus, yes."
"O-Oh." Buffy immediately turned the Spike. "Did you have any clue about this?"
"I wouldn't of bloody well done it if I'd known!" he yelled. Both held their heads in confusion and shock.
"Will you be all right?" asked Zeus.
Spike looked up. "It's just not every day you find out that you're sodding married."
"I am going to continue my tale about the Powers. When Anne told me she was pregnant, first thought was joy, secondly was sadness, because I had only nine years to be with my child. Last thought was this is the child we had been waiting for. Luck had it, yes luck, that you were turned and from that moment on you had been competing with Angel for fame, love, and though you did not know it, the god position."
Buffy raised her hand, "So basically, you were competing against the Powers. . . and won?"
"Simply put, yes."
"Since you've probably managed to majorly tick off the Powers, I'm half forgiving you for that whole marriage thing."
It was then that Zeus looked at Buffy intently. Shaking his head he advised, "There is a choice that you will have to make soon. It is a non- demonic choice. What ever you do, do not take your first option."
The Slayer looked at him a little oddly, "O-kay."
Spike sat up. "What was the prophesy?"
"I do not remember the exact wording, but said something along the lines of an appointed god will help stop Hades from erupting. Literally."
"I'll take it that Hades will be doing the deed?" asked Spike. Buffy thought that it felt a little chillier in the room.
She was right.
"You people are talking about me? How sweet!" All three turned around to see Hades standing in a shadow, in dark glory. He wore a black robe had black hair and it looked as if a black mist were around his presence.
Zeus stood up and grew a foot or two. "Hades! You are not welcome here!"
The dark one shrugged. "Ya, well I'm a little overdue with visits." He flipped out a jar with dark, murky green stuff inside. He opened the jar and the room was instantly filled with the green cloud. Buffy couldn't see her hand six inches from her face, and she soon felt a little woozy.
The mist cleared Buffy saw that both Spike and Zeus were unconscious while Hades remained standing. 'Okay,' she thought. 'Me against Hades. And I'm in a dress.'
He sighed, "I keep forgetting that this stuff only works on gods." He tossed the jar to side and launched himself at her. Buffy jumped to the side, but couldn't shake off the fact she felt a little light headed after the gas attack.
Hades hit her on the head with an elbow. When he though she was down, Buffy kicked him in the stomach, which sent him back to the next wall. Buffy scooted over to Spike. "Come on! Wake up!" She slapped his cheek. Buffy stood up to see Zeus behind her. "But weren't you just-"
He backhanded her. "Amazing what body switching can do," said Hades/Zeus.
(AN: From now on referring to Hades/Zeus as Hades and Zeus/Hades as Zeus. Just to save on to much confusion) He picked up a fist full of lightning bolts and aimed one at Buffy.
"Oh, no," she muttered before dodging out of the way of a bolt. She had managed to get out of the way of five before the strange weariness overtook her.
The bolt Hades threw hit her leg. But instead of doing any sort of damage to her leg, it just re-healed itself. "What the hell?" she muttered before passing out.
Hades didn't take to much notice, considering the fact she was unconscious. "Now, where's Aphrodite."

Xander was down the hallway to the upstairs. Buffy and Spike had left two days ago and everything was going smoothly. He heard a small sob from Dawn's room. Well, up till now. He gently pushed the door open. "Hey, Dawnster. What's wrong?"
She rubbed her nose and took a well used tissue to her puffy red eyes. "Promise you won't tell?"
He closed the door to make a point.
"Okay, it's horrible." She tried to surpress a tiny grin. "Well, wasn't completely horrible."
"Wait. Could you start at the beginning please."
She sighed. "You remember last night when all you guys went patrolling and Connor and I stayed home because it was our turn to do laundry." Xander nodded. "I would like to clarify at first that I have no clue how this happened, mostly. So we're talking about how we need a new washing machine because it shakes to much, okay? And we're folding a comforter, comes into play in a little bit. We get to teasing each other and I call him brooder. . ."

----------------------------------------------------------
"Take that back," demanded Connor.
"Never!" exclaimed Dawn, throwing the comforter on his head and trying to run away. Because he had super reflexes, he caught her within two steps.
"Take it back," he warned again.
Dawn grinned. "Fine, just as long as you take back Klepto."
"Deal."
"Deal."
Neither moved. They weren't sure who did it first, but the next thing each know, they were kissing. Connor pinned Dawn against the vibrating washing machine. She moved the kisses up his jawline and blew into his ear. She moved them back down before he captured her mouth again. Connor moved down to her neck and played gently, leaving her gasping for air. Dawn unbuttoned his shirt and took it off while he worked on hers. Connor lifted her up onto the washing machine and kissed her some more, before climbing up himself.
----------------------------------------------------------

"Wow! Wow!" exclaimed Xander. "The two of you. . ."
She nodded before crying again. "I'm not really sure why though. It was totally unexpected and. . .God I wish it hadn't have happened!" Dawn burst into tears of guilt and shame again.
The door opened and Tara popped in. "O-Oh! I-I-I'm so sorry! I'll just leave n-now."
"Tara wait," said Xander. "Could you do something for Dawn?" After explaining the situation to Tara, he'd have a long talk with a certain boy.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
TBC. . . .
BWAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAAA!!!!!! Evil people aren't we? This whole story line idea actually birthed at a retreat. It was a mall break.
Anyhoo, flame/review if you have any sort of hate, confusion, or love of this. See ya next week!
