It's All About the Ending

Fred didn't really remember much of the previous night or its events, seeing as how a god-king was in control of her body for most of it, but she did remember how it ended and that was what was most important, right? According to Spike, the most important part of a story is how it ends, because if it has a really good ending, I mean an ending that leaves people in awe, then it doesn't matter what happens anywhere else in the story. Maybe life was the same way, that the only part that mattered was the ending and if your ending was good enough, everything else would just seem like a foot note, even if it would end up being one bloody and disturbing footnote, it'd be a footnote all the same. Fred hoped this was true for Spike and Angel's sakes.
Everyone agreed that Angel didn't really have a good beginning or middle to his life, but the end of it was great. Spike's life started off pretty normal and then went horribly wrong somewhere in the middle, but so do a lot of bestsellers, right? I mean a really good ending can make up for a shitty book, why can't it work for a really evil person too? Well, really evil was the wrong choice of words, because Fred didn't believe that Spike was actually evil, he held onto too much of William to be truly evil. Misguided? Absolutely. Truly evil? Not so much.
At least this is what Fred was telling herself. That it didn't matter what type of life you lead, wether it was good or bad, because the end result was always the same, you were dead. Even the things that distinguish one person's life from someone else's aren't original. They might've had kids or gone to Europe, but how many people could say they spent the last few years of their life seeking redemption, and that they died fighting to save the world? Fred could only think of a handful and the fact that Spike and Angel were vampires, only added to the uniqueness of it all.
Fred just hoped that the Powers That Be felt the same way. That they'd look at everything Spike and Angel had done and that they'd see how special they were. Fred couldn't bare to think about what would befall Spike and Angel if they didn't. After all, heroes deserved to go to heaven, not to be trapped in some hell dimension for all of eternity.
