"Hallie I demand you lift this spell off of this house" demanded Anya.
"You know I can't do that Anyanka" smiled the woman evilly.
"You could if you wanted to" retorted Anya.
"You don't deserve it, you all deserve to be cursed" sighed Halfrek.
"I called you over to invite you to the wedding, not ruin it" sobbed Anya.
"No, I told you I had business. You know, everywhere I went in this town I could feel this child's pain. It was horrible, and none of you even knew, not one."
"I thought vengeance demons only punish men" said Willow.
"Oh no, that was just Anyanka's chosen specialty. And, FYI, we prefer the term Justice Demon." laughed Halfrek.
"Dawn" gasped Buffy. "I'm so sorry, I had no idea"
"It's ok, we sorted it out now anyway!" smiled Dawn as she hugged her sister.
"Well, if that's the case I…" she paused when she saw Spike. "William?" she gasped.
Spike just looked at her funny as if she were a ghost.
"Do you know each other?" asked Buffy slightly jealously and inching closer to him.
"It's been a while" said Spike.
"It certainly has" agreed Halfrek. "Anyway, the curse is lifted. Oh, and Anyanka, we'll have to meet up some when before this wedding of yours"
"Of course Hallie" smiled Anya.
"I'd better get Richard to a hospital" said Xander. "But I'll be back"
"We'll go research this amulet thing" smiled Willow as she and Tara left the room.
"Buffy, I know the curse is lifted and all" smiled Dawn shyly. "But could we still have everyone over and continue your party; at least till the singing stops"
"I don't see why not" laughed Buffy. "Clem, Sophie, your welcome to stay for a bit. It could be fun!"
"I'd better be getting back" smiled Clem "But thanks anyway"
"And I'd better be getting back to the Double Meat Palace" sighed Sophie. "Thanks though, it's been fun" she called as she waved. Buffy smiled and then turned to see Spike just about to walk out of the door behind them.
"Hey" she yelled at him. "Spike, I need you to give me a hand with something"
"Huh?" he asked turning around. "Oh, alright then"
She grabbed his hand and dragged him into the dinning room.
