A/N: Okay, I would just like to start by saying that, if Ranch Dressing is listed in the ingredients, you should NOT eat the pizza. Next, as stated in the newest chapters of all four of my stories, I'm really sorry about the wait! I just… I don't know. Things have been kinda hectic lately, and I lost the interest in writing… I would sit at my computer with the full intention of adding chapters, but then I'd play Mah Jhong instead… Kind of like writing thank you letters for Graduation letters and gifts…. Two months after getting the first one and I still haven't mailed anything… VV Okay, enough ramble. Enjoy the chapter as best as you can. There's only a few left. BTW, I can't get any other way of spacing in, so this is my new way of writing in seperations.

I'll Always Remember I'll Always Remember I'll Always Remember

"Well Darrel? This is your last chance." Darry stared at the Socs in front of him. He had known for some time that this moment was coming, but it still bothered him that he had to make the choice.

"And what about my little brothers?"

"I'm sure they can take care of themselves by now."

"Pony's only fourteen. I can't leave him alone!"

"Is that your decision then?"

"I guess it is. Y'all aren't leaving me any choice."

"Sure we are."

"No you're not. Your idea of a choice is joining all of you and losing my family, or staying with my family and losing my chance at college."

"Hey, it's your future."

"Then I'll spend it with my family, thanks." That said, Darry turned on his heel and walked away, leaving all of the Socs staring after him in shock.

When he got home he paused in front of the door. He stared up at the house and smiled, knowing that it was all for the best. He walked in quietly, not wanting to announce his presence like everyone else did. When he walked in he was shocked to find Spike, Buffy, Giles, and Dawn sitting in the living room along with the Greasers.

Darry watched his family interact with the time travelers, smiling softly when Dawn and Ponyboy both jumped every time they made any form of physical contact. His smile widened when he saw them blush when their eyes met. Buffy shook her head at them and resumed her conversation with Two-Bit, who really reminded her of someone her mother had introduced her to once or twice.

Dally was the first to notice the oldest Curtis standing in the doorway.

"Hey Superman. What did you decide?"

"Looks like all of y'all are stuck with me."

"So you chose us?" Johnny asked, trying to confirm what he thought Darry meant.

"Yep. The Socs gave me a choice: you or them. It was pretty easy to choose at that point."

"That's great," Buffy told him, smiling. Then she turned to the bleached vampire sitting near her and mock-scowled. "And you?"

Spike smirked at her slowly before answering, "Well, after much… consideration…. I have decided to grace all of you white hats for a little longer. You lot are fun to watch. Keeps me entertained now that those government scientists broke my telly. I'll stick around until it gets old."

Buffy shot him a look. "Thanks, Spike," she told him dryly. Dawn, however, squealed and jumped onto Spike, nearly knocking him over in her enthusiasm.

I'll Always Remember I'll Always Remember I'll Always Remember

The next day, the two groups were walking through the park when the demons who sent the Scoobies back in time appeared. Angel, Buffy, and Spike tensed up immediately, while Giles, Anya, and the witches reached for pouches containing some leftover spell ingredients. Within seconds, the Greasers and Scoobies were in a fight with the demons. Suddenly, a line of green light shot out from one of the staffs and connected to another, making a type of rope between the two demons.

Buffy saw what was happening and shoved the Greasers out of the 'line of fire'. She pushed them behind the demons, so that they were looking in on the circle of light that was created behind them. At first, they were upset that they weren't allowed to fight, but then they realized what was happening. Darry grabbed Ponyboy around the waist as the younger boy tried to run back into the circle. There was a blinding flash of green light that threw the Greasers off their feet.

A/N: And that's where I'm ending it for now. Remember my comment about what ingredient should not be allowed in pizzas? Yeah… There's a reason for that… I feel ill…. Anyway, please review and let me know what you think. The next chapter isn't going to be the way I had planned it, since we're not allowed to have song lyrics in the chapter anymore, but if you can find "Our Farewell" by Within Temptation you'll know what I was planning as accompaniment to the chapter. For a brief clip of the song, go to Amazon dot com and search under popular music for Celtic Circle, and choose The Celtic Circle: Legendary Music From a Mystic World. It's song 11 on disk 1. Trust me, it's worth it. That's a really pretty song.

Thank yous:

sweetypie15 - Thanks, and I think I said that this is nearly the last chapter... If not, this is nearly the last chapter. I'm slowly losing interest in writing... Or maybe I just became apathetic towards creative stuff once I graduated... Who knows? But I promise you, I will not just quit on this fic. Even if I've got my muses chained to my head, this story will get completed... Grrr... Sorry, and thanks for the review...

cowgirlnm-1 - Mebbe... grins Yeah, I could hear Johnny saying that in my head, so my fingers just typed it out. I hope you liked the chapter! Just a few more to go!

Tensleep - Yeah, had to make Johnny a little more outgoing than usual... Giles was always in the library... 'course, he was the librarian... 'til he got fired when Buffy made the school go boom... or something to that effect... I haven't actually watched season three yet... Buffy tries to never harm a human... I think it's one of those 'never use your powers for evil' things... Thanks for the review, and for not losing interest in my stories!
