A/n: O.k. this chapter clears some things up with Broken, those of you who haven't read that (which you should because I plan a crossover with this) wont be confused. At first I wasn't going to write the party but so many people requested that I couldn't refuse!
Fred and Gunn twirled around on the dance floor; each lost in each other's eyes. Ria sighed, watching the newly-weds. She quickly shook the sap moment off, and turned back to Lorne as he filled her in on the goings of Sunnydale.
"So, Dawn is my aunt?" She asked, stretching her arms. Lorne nodded.
"You look a little bit like her, sweet cheeks," Lorne answered, noticing the Summers nose and lips on the sixteen year old.
"I highly doubt that,"
"You do, luv," Spike said as he sat down. "The nibblet's my best friend. I think I'd know what she looks like," Lorne, well aware that Dawn felt more then just friendship from the blonde vampire, quickly excused himself.
"Do I look like my mother?" Ria asked before she could hold herself back. The only pictures she had seen while growing up were rough sketches of Darla and Angelus.
"You have her eyes," Spike stated, memories of the deceased slayer flooding threw his mind. Faith came over and laid a hand on the vampire's shoulder.
"Want to dance?" She asked, and Spike grinned. The two whirled away, and Ria sighed again. Melly and Duskie were plotting something in the corner of the room, Melly clutching the steak knife (the closest thing next to a sword that Lorne permitted). Jamie was dancing with Cordy, while his parents sat in the corner talking. Angel was standing with Wesley, each sipping a cocktail though Ria was half sure Wesley's was a hell of a lot stronger then a martini. Poor Wes. Her eyes drifted to Gunn and Fred again, who were still dancing away to the sweet melody of Lorne's singing. Rianna closed her eyes, allowing herself to get lost in the feeling of it. The world had never felt like this. She wondered what she was feeling exactly.
"Happiness, contentment," Conner answered for her, sliding into the seat next to her. She smiled at her brother, opening bright green eyes.
"It isn't going to last," She responded, pushing her loose hair behind her ear.
"It never does. That's why we have to enjoy it while we can," He smiled before getting up. "Well, I'm gonna go steal Faith from Spike," He winked, making his crush on the brunette slayer clearer then ever. Left alone again, Ria mused. Her eyes flew to Melly as the steak knife launched across the room and buried itself deep into the chest of a man entering the room.
"MELLY!" Angel screamed, running towards the man, who turned shifted to vamp form and charged at Fred. He suddenly burst into flame, and Fred collapsed exhausted against her husband.
"It never ends does it?" Faith laughed, scooping Duskie into her arms as Cordy ran to Melly. Gunn shook his head, pulling his wife closer to him and kissing her lightly.
"Have a good trip!" Cordy yelled to the couple as they climbed into Gunn's truck.
"I expect you in work on Monday!" Angel yelled, wincing as Cordelia elbowed him in the ribs. "Or whenever you're ready," Cordy kissed him lightly.
"Bye!!!!! I LOVE YOU!" Melly yelled from Spike's shoulders. Duskie held her father's hand, a smile on her face as she watched the truck drive away. Melly waved a hand and the words "JUSS MARIED'" showed up on the back.
"Only my sister," Conner stated, shaking his head.
A/n: O.k. that was the party. Next chapter is basically going to be Ria taking Melly patrolling and some surprises! I know this chapter was short but it was a really quick update. Review!
