"Hello, Mr. Giles? It's Buffy."

"Oh yes, Buffy. How are you dear?"

"Fine, actually, I just called to ask you something."

"Well go ahead, I'm listening."

"Ok, here's the thing, my dad's dead and so I need someone to walk me down the isle at the wedding and I was wondering if you would—that is if you could, you know…"

"Why it would be my pleasure Ms. Andrews." Giles answered warmly.

"Thank you," Buffy answered heaving a sigh of relief. With that they said their goodbyes and hung up the phone. 'Well, that's one less thing I have to worry about.' She thought as she went up to her bedroom.

"Aren't you forgetting something?" Faith asked Buffy while they went over the wedding arrangements.

"Uh—no, I don't think so. Why do you think we're forgetting something? Oh my god, Faith this is going to be a disaster isn't it, a total and complete nightmare! I can't do this. I-I can't…can't,"

"B! Calm down! Deep breaths, take long, calming, deep breaths!" Faith instructed her friend and Buffy started hyperventilating.

"I can't! I mean how can I? The wedding's in less than a week, I'm a mess, Angelus is no help, your sister hates me, I don't have a location yet and on top of everything else I'm forgetting … SOMETHING! This wedding is going to be the laughingstock of the year, that's what it's going to be, everyone's gonna be like 'hey, did you hear about the Giles wedding, it was such a shame about the bride dropping dead at the last minute, and the poor Giles' they haven't shown their face in public ever since, I can just imagine the shame and the humiliation and the complete and utter embarrassment they must be feeling…" Buffy rambled on.

"B…" Faith interrupted.

"…and oh, how about all the animals getting loose? I heard that the bride left the location for last minute and by the time she came around to it there were no more good spots left so she settled for a park near the zoo…" Buffy continued as if she hadn't heard her.

"Buff…"

"…it was just such a shame about all those poor people being trampled to death, I mean who woulda thought? An innocent wedding causing the death of all those kind, decent guests…"

"Buff!"

"… and that poor young priest! I heard it was his first wedding too! Such a shame about his passing, I'm not sure though, did the lion get to him first or the elephant? Probably the elephant…"

"Buffy!" Faith finally shouted.

"Huh?"

"First of all, PLEASE for the sake of your sanity and mine you need to calm down! Ok?"

Buffy just nodded numbly.

"Ok, so about the location, I'll take care of it. There's this place that a friend of mine from high school got married and I think it's be perfect. And it's not near a zoo, pinky promise." Faith smiled at her.

"Thanks Faith, and what about the other thing? You said I was forgetting something?"

"Your Bachelor and Bachelorette parties? Hellooo!"

"That's it? THAT'S what you got me so nervous over?"

"Hey, I told you to calm down. It's no biggie though; those are the jobs of the best man and maid of honor anyway."

"Right, about that. Faith, will you be my maid of honor?"

"Aww, B, it would be my… honor," Faith replied with a grin.

"Very clever," Buffy muttered sarcastically.

"You say something?"

"No." Buffy flashed her a quick and sweet smile and got up to get an aspirin. She had a huge headache.

Buffy sat at their table at "Casa", the hot new club that had just opened up a few weeks ago. After their conversation the day before Faith decided that she and Angelus should have their bachelor and bachelorette parties soon, since Angelus didn't have a lot of time off from work and their wedding was fast approaching. So here she was, sitting at one of the many tables reserved for them and their "party" which basically included Faith, Cordelia, Darla and all of their friends. Buffy was just finishing up her fifth gin and tonic, or at least she thought it was her fifth, when Faith approached her from the dance floor.

"Hey, why are you just sittin' there? This is possibly the last day you are ever going to be single again, get up, dance, have some fun!"

"Maybe later, right now I'd rather just… sit here."

With a small sigh Faith took a seat opposite to her, "Hey, what's up?"

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about you, sitting here, sulking. You should be happy, or at least slightly giddy. I mean I understand cold feet and all but…"

"No, it's nothing like that Faith. It's just; I guess I'm in shock. It just occurred to me that in a few days, I will be married; I will be Mrs. Angelus Giles. It's… pretty overwhelming to say the least. I never thought I would get married, least of all to a man like Angelus." She explained.

"Tell me about it." Faith replied.

"What do you mean?"

"Nothin B, all I'm sayin is that you two aren't the most… compatible of couples like…"

"You and Gunn," she finished for her.

Faith simply smiled "Kinda…"

"You have nothing to worry about Faith; I care about your brother very much." And it was true, she may not love him, but in the short few days that she had spent with him, Angelus had sort of grown on her. Kind of like fungus, except WAY more attractive and pleasant.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXoooooooooXxXxXxXxXxXxX

Buffy got up and tried to walk to the bar to get another drink, but found herself stumbling quite a bit. She didn't think she was really drunk but to tell the truth she wasn't feeling all that sober either.

As she plopped down on a bar stool and ordered, or rather slurred her drink, Buffy caught sight of another stumbling figure slowly approaching her.

"Hey, bar-man… guy, 'nother v-vodka. On the rocks!" Angelus ordered, not noticing Buffy next to him in his intoxicated state.

"I don't know man. I think you've had enough." The bartender replied after observing Angelus for a few seconds.

"Wellll," Angelus hesitated before speaking once again, "'s a good thing I din't ask for yer 'pinion now innit?"

The bartender heaved a weary sigh, "look man…"

"S'okay Matty, give 'im 'nother one on me." Buffy cut in. She and Matt had become well acquainted during her bachlorette party in hell and she had used the opportunity to speak to someone about her problems, her sham of an engagement and her terrible, terrible bachlorette party.

Matt looked towards Buffy and asked "Friend of yours?"

" 'E's my fiancée." She answered simply.

"Ah." Matt nodded with a look of amusement directed at Angelus. "Vodka on the rocks comin' right up."

"Hey! Hey it-it's yooo!" Angelus said sounding surprised, the he frowned. " 'Ow d'yoo know tha' guy?"

Buffy giggled "Why? Yoo jealous?"

"No. If I was jealous I wouldn't…" Angelus started but when he couldn't come up with a valid excuse he just said "No. I'm not."

"You're right. You're not jealous. But yoo aaaaare somethin'!" She exclaimed excitedly.

"Wha'?" He asked curiously.

"Yooo…are… drrrunk." Buffy slurred at Angelus.

"Meeeee? Oh baby I think you're miss-s-taken, you're the one who seems ta be in..intoxi..int… drunk!" Angelus stuttered a bit as he joined in Buffy's giggle fest.

Buffy's outraged gasp however, caused him to look up "How. Dare. you! I am NNNOT dwunk!" She annunciated every word trying to sound more sober and in control.

This, however caused Angelus to start giggling more uncontrollably "He he he he!"

"Whaa!" Buffy asked with a pout but he just continued giggling.

"Whaaaaaa! Tell meee!"

"You said 'dwunk'!"

"Heh he he heeh! I did, din't I?" She joined in after the realization hit her.

"You… my dear… are pissed.. deeeeeruunk!"

"Ya well, s-so are- ey Angel?"

"Hmm?"

"Mm, nuthin," Buffy replied after a short moment of contemplation.

"Tell me!"

"Nnnno!" She shook her head to the negative.

"Come on! Tell meee! You-you go-ra!"

"Fine! Ba you go-ra pr-pro-pro… hmph!" She started getting frustrated as she got stuck on the word "promise" but soon she broke out into a full-out grin "Aaaaaaangieee. Can yooo keep a seeecret?" She asked in her best "sexy voice" as she moved closer to him.

Angelus just gulped and nodded. A moment later Buffy leaned in to whisper something in his ear and his eyes got wide.

"Reeeeeally?" He asked in astonishment.

"Mmm-hmmm," Buffy answered quite proud of herself.

"Woww!"

A moment later Faith joined them to order a drink "Hey bro," She said in acknowledgement, "Hey B, how ya feelin'?"

Buffy seemed to contemplate this seriously for a moment before simply answering, "Horny."

Faith broke out into a wicked grin "Well, that's what you got your boy here for," she said in amusement.

At this both Buffy and Angelus turned to look at each other.

"You wanna?" Buffy asked.

Angelus only nodded. Faith just chuckled and shook her head "C'mon love birds, I'll call you a cab."
