Wonderland 8 - The Birthday Party
"A dream..." Buffy murmured.
"Yeah, you were dreaming, you slept a lot, so come on B, everyone is already here" Faith said, taking a black leather outfit for herself.
"I'm up" Buffy said cheerfully, despite the crazy dream she was feeling great today. She got herself a tank top and a pair of jeans pants. Going down the stairs she could see all the Scoobies, plus Spike who was hiding from the sun.
"Happy birthday Buffy" everyone said in unison.
"Thanks you guys" Buffy said still feeling a bit strange because of her dream, and Willow could see it in her face.
"Something wrong Buffy?" Willow asked.
"I just had a crazy dream" Buffy said.
"Oh... you didn't like it?" Willow and Tara asked. "We did a spell to make you have a nice night, you know, so when you woke up you would be feeling better and stronger."
"I do feel better and stronger, but the dream was just... too crazy" Buffy said.
"Well, we asked Dawn which was your favorite book, and the spell was inspired by that, and you would have the company of your soul mate" Willow said giving Buffy's books back. The books were 'Alice in Wonderland' and 'Through the Looking Glass'.
"Thanks" Buffy said taking the books back "It was a bit crazy though"
"Well, maybe the spell combined with your slayer dream might have had another effect that I'm not aware of" Tara said.
"But if you didn't like our present, we can give you something else" Willow said.
"No need for that Will" Buffy said taking Willow's hand, reassuring her. "I liked it, I'm feeling quite good today."
"Well Buff, I hope you like our present" Xander said holdinh Anya's hand Ttook me quite a time to find something like this. But I hope it's something you'll like" he handed her a long box.
"Let's see what's inside" Buffy said opening the present. Inside of it was a very beautiful shiny sword, just like the one that Xander had in her dream. "Thanks Xand, thanks Anya" she said happily, parts of her dream were coming true.
"My present" Giles started. "At first I wasn't sure if you would like it, so I bought you two presents. This one" he gave her a book. "It's a collection of the best poems and some riddles. It's worth a try" he joked when Buffy made a face to the present.
"But it's nice Giles" she said trying to please him.
"I know it isn't something that you like. So I also bought you this DVD." He gave her a DVD of a film named 'Donnie Darko'. "It's an interesting movie, it's about destiny and life in general. If you don't understand this film you can ask me about it and I'll explain it to you" he said grinning.
"Great Giles." Buffy hugged him. "I'll definitely watch it, and look" she pointed to the DVD. "Jake Gyllenhal is in it."
"You like him, right?" Faith asked, a hint of jealousy in her voice.
"Not as much as I like you Faith, don't need to get jealous." Buffy gave Faith a passionate kiss.
"Mmmmmm" Faith moaned. "You have no idea of what my present will be B" Faith whispered so low that only a slayer could hear.
"Oh! Come on, let's get this finished" Buffy joked.
"Well, slayer, I bought something for you too" Spike gave Buffy a small box.
Buffy opened the box, it contained a small gold watch, with the inscription 'Forever'. "Thanks Spike" Buffy thanked him. She took a look at Faith, she looked very jealous. Buffy winked at her and smiled, she knew that tonight her present would be the best of all.
"Here" Dawn said giving Buffy her present. "It's something I did" she said when Buffy opened her present, and saw a portrait with lots of pictures. Most were of her and Faith together, but there were pictures of her and all of the Scoobies.
"Dawn, this is very pretty, I like it a lot" Buffy said hugging Dawn.
The rest of the day they had a good time. For the first time Buffy never had a disaster on her birthday so that was just perfect for her. The night events would definitely be the best ones.
And they lived happily ever after.
