Okay Peeps, a bunch of people told me my story was boring so I'm going back
and adding a little detail to the story.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Buffy quietly sneaked out the back of the Hyperion and into the rain. She tilted her head up towards the sky and smiled. She almost laughed. It was the first time she had smiled in a long time. The last time was when Andrew had stolen a pair of Angel's boxers and had hung them on the front door of the hotel. She had laughed so hard when the scoobies gathered around them and sang the star spangled banner. Angel had of course kicked Andrew's butt, but it was still funny.
It had taken a long time to convince Angel she didn't need help on her patrol. He knew she was still grieving over Spike's death and didn't think she was well enough to patrol on her own. It had been five months since Sunnydale had become a big hole in the ground and Buffy had lost her lover. She felt tears mix with the rain streaming down her face. She had told Spike that she had loved him. She had told him... Did he listen? No. He died thinking she pitied him.
Buffy quickly wiped messily at the tears and headed towards the closest cemetery. She stepped up to the fake grave they had set up for Spike. She sat down near the headstone that read:
William A. Winters
Gave his life to save the world
RIP
Buffy ran a finger across the words and smiled sadly. "Hi Spike... I miss you... Almost more than I can take... I wish you would have believed me when I told you I loved you. I still do."
She let the tears fall.
"Dawn really misses you. She told me how sad she was that she never forgave you and you died thinking she hated you. I told her that you knew she had forgiven her. You always could tell everything about a person just by looking them in the eye. Xander forgave you too. You were his only male friend. After Giles and Wood tried to kill you, Xander turned away from them. Speaking of Wood, he and Faith are getting married in June. Faith is so happy.
"After Anya died, Xander was devastated. He tried to bring her back. He accidentally said Anyayanka instead of Anya and it brought back the demon not her. That was.... Scary. Willow and Kennedy broke up. Kennedy went to the slayer school in Cleveland and Willow works for Angel. We're staying with Angel. I don't love him anymore though.
"Dawn has a boyfriend named Nick. Every time they are together, I always imagine you asking questions and glaring. They're really happy. Everyone's really happy. Except me.... I'll never be happy without you. I love you."
She started crying without restraint and sobbed her self to sleep on her boyfriend's grave. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Buffy was sure she was dreaming but it felt so real.
"Hello?" She called out to no one. She was in a big white room. There were no doors or windows, just vast white. She could smell something like cough drops and blueberries. It smelled like her... mother.
"Hello, my child," Said a familiar voice from above her.
Buffy's eyes widened when she found the source of the voice.
"M-mommy?" she choked out.
The angel before her smiled motherly. She had a long, flowing, white dress and she was practically glowing. She also had to glossy, sleek wings behind her back. She reached out to Buffy, who ran to her and held her close. She felt wetness on her back and realized her mom was crying. She hugged her tighter and cried with her. After a few minutes, she forced herself to pull away and look up at the angel before her.
"Why am I here? Not that I'm not happy to see you, because I am, but..." Joyce smiled at her.
"You have decision to make. Your lover, William, died to protect the world. The gods have decided that this act of great courage should be rewarded. You have the chance to help me bring him back. Do you want him back in your life?"
Buffy nodded slowly as if not believing her chance.
"Now you have to make a choice. Do you want him to remember his death and that he was brought back or do you want him to only remember the events before the time you first made love?
Buffy blushed slightly and answered in a clear voice. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
