Disclaimer: some of the characters u recognize sadly don't belong to me. I'm planning on ::cough:: bribing Joss Wheddon (writer, creator, etc. of Buffy and Angel) or...well there are other ways to convince him. :: Evil Grin::

Time period: we travel all over and sometimes slightly alter the epi(s)

Summery: Buffy verse during a party we're having. Okay, the summery sucks but the story is cool. Warning: much angel, riley...etc bashing. Lol. Enjoy

I thought I might strangle everyone of my friends if they couldn't control
what they were saying. I was tuning everyone out. It was like a madhouse. Everyone screaming at each other and I'm not just talking about my friends. It was like the anger
was contagious. Everyone was yelling, for what reason, I'm not so sure.
Nothing was being accomplished and at that point I wished I had some of Willows power, like in the ep Weight of the World, where she uses magic to
separate Xander and Spike.
"Shut up." I mumbled. Of course that didn't help. With all the chaos around you nobody could hear
what I had just said.
I was starting to get a major migraine. I caught a glimpse at what Fer and Bri and Val were screaming at each other
about. It had something to do with giving away the ending.
Finally, I snapped. This was dumb.
"Hey! Hey! Shut up!" I shouted standing up.
My friends stopped short and glanced at me. The scoobes weren't really
listening but I couldn't care less. "You guys are being stupid. Fine they made mistakes, stupid mistakes, but
mistakes nonetheless.
What we have to do now, is fix it." The scoobes were starting to quiet down and I could feel Spike's piercing
eyes on me. I gave everyone a good glare before continuing.
"I'm not going to bore you to death with a lecture, you got Buffy to do
that," Said person glared.
"But this is stupid, and dumb, and shirty." I said with a smirk.
"Have you gone completely carrot-top?" Fer asked.
I grinned, at least for now we were on the same page. "So we have to make a decision right now, we can either let everything hang out in the open like this, or we can try our best to fix what we inevitably
screwed up."
"How are you going to do that?" Giles asked. And I was met with several
nods.
"I dunno." I put a hand to my forehead and scratched it. Offhandedly
thinking.
I thought I had figured it out.
"Oh!" I said jumping up and down.
"The gem of..." I trailed off.
"Damn it Angel." I muttered. "What'd the big poofter do now?" Spike asked. I frowned and then remembered
vampire hearing.
"He destroyed the only good plan I have."
"How'd he do that he's in L.A. He doesn't even know you..." Buffy was
mumbling to herself. Well at least I hope it was to herself cause man,
she's not the brightest crayon in the box.
I looked at the ceiling and shook my head in exasperation.
"Blondes." "Hey!" Several highly offended blondes cried out. Even Val managed to look
deeply offended. "Anyway, how did Angel mess up your plan?" Stef was talking to me again?
Wow.
I glanced around the room.
"Well he destroyed the gem."
"What gem?" Faith asked.
"The gem of amara."
"How would that have help?" Xander asked.
Wow, these people really needed to pay more attention.
"Because the gem would have made Spike invincible,"
"How would us not being able to see him help?" Buffy cut me off. I stared at her trying so hard not laugh. It didn't work. I just started
laughing out loud. "How?" I managed between howls. I regained myself after a 2-minute hysteria
"Never mind, we can't use it so no use dwelling on it." "But, I'm curious to know how exactly them gem would have helped." Giles
said. "I just told you. It would have made Spike invincible. Be able to go into
the sun. No poof, dusty or ghostly Spike, but as per usual the poof
bollixed that up."
Spike grinned.
"I like her." I blushed but hey, a compliment like that I had to keep my speech goin'. "So, let me get this straight. If Angel hadn't destroyed the gem than we
could have saved Spike?" Dawn asked quietly. "Well that was my first theory, yeah, but I'm open to suggestions." I said
hoping anybody would have some kind of input.

There was really nothing anybody could do. So eventually, most of the
potentials disappeared. The Scoobes drifted off as well. And some of my friends decided to explore the house. I refused to move except over to the
couch. There was only a hand full of people left in the room.
Only Fer, Spike, Willow, and myself. I knew we were brooding and I even asked myself why Willow had stayed but
at this point I couldn't care less. Fer would every five seconds think she got something and than just stop.
It was agitating but at least she was trying. "We can't just sit here." I said. "We have to put our heads together and
see what we come up with." Fer nodded and Spike looked away. Willow got up and walked out of the room.
"What the..." Fer putting her hand over my mouth cut me off.
"There just has got to be something we can do." I felt defeated and helpless and that is probably the worst feeling in the
world.
There were a few moments of awkward silence. "I think I got something." Willow was standing in the doorway again. She
had a book in her hand.
