AN( yeah another update whoooooooooo school is out which means I will finally be able to focus on the more important things in life, like fan fiction!)

Disclaimer---- DO NOT OWN IT, JOSS IS A MEANIE WHO WON"T GIVE IT TO ME!

"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" was the first word out of Canala's mouth when she heard the name, "There is no way in HELL you are going out with Riley Jade, I forbid it." "Why?" Jade and Angelina asked in unison. "Let me break it down for you, the only one here allowed to date my mum's ex's is me." "He dated your mom, eww. Angelina, when you said he was old, I didn't think you meant that old, gross!" "Hey," Canala said, "No insulting my mum's age. Besides, Angel older than my mum, and I'm dating him." "Yeah," Jade said, but he isn't old and wrinkly like he should be, this guy is like older than my dad." "Trust me," Canala said, " age could only improve this guys looks." Angelina and Jade exchanged quizzical glances, Canala sighed, I'll show you guys a pic from back when he and mum were dating. Mum would have threw it out, but it has Auntie Dawn and Willow & Tara in it, so she kept it." "Ok, so get the picture out, we want to see this." Angelina said. "Ok," said Canala. "But don't say I didn't warn you, looking at Riley could cause serious damage to your eyes !"

"Oh my God, is he like deformed or something? Cause I'm telling you if I were that guy, I would have had plastic surgery done years ago." These were Jade's first words upon looking at Riley Finn's face. Then she looked at Angelina, "My God, you must really hate me to try and place me with THAT!" Angelina looked unabashed. "I've never met the guy, I just heard Casey talk about him a lot, seemed nice, should have known, there are very few nice hot guys." she turns to Canala, "We just lucked out." The two hi-five. Jade pouts, but now, I'm dateless again. Canala turns to her friend, "Cheer up, my uncle Xander is single, I'm sure he'll date you." As Angelina and Canala laugh, Jade shoots them dirty looks.

Spike looked at Angel an expression of, what exactly on his face? It wasn't fury, nor was it, by any means, joy, it was a look of submissiveness. The look of a general who has been holding out for as long as he could for surrender, before at last accepting his fate. "You always win, don't you?" he questioned Angel. Angel's only answer was a look of confusion. Spike smirked, for a brief moment a shadow of his old self peeking out. "For so long, I worried about you getting Buffy, you've always had a piece of her heart, and I knew it. I was terrified of you some how getting her, she was the love of my life, and I was afraid of her not feeling the same for me, but that battle I won, or so I thought. You have the love of my life Angel, you've got my daughter. Spike hands Angel a bottle of thick green liquid. "I had some left over from when I killed the demon that made me human." then Spike glared at Angel. "You do one fuckin' bleedin' thing to hurt Canala, and I swear that you'll regret the day you ever allowed Dru to sire me!"

Angel looked at Spike, "I will never do anything to harm your daughter, I love her." Spike looked at Angel, "You loved Buffy too, didn't stop you from hurting her." Spike's Blue eyes met Angel's brown ones. For a moment there was an unspoken thing between the two old warriors. There was an acknowledgement of thanks, and of unspoken promises. Then, Angel left. Spike didn't know it, but he had truly won. All of Angel's happiness had hinged on Spike's answer to the favour he had, undeservingly, asked for, and only the winner of a battle determines the fate of the defeated.

Canala was the first to hear knocking at the door, she looked at Jade and Angelina confused, "No one should be here, it's hours till sunset, so Angel shouldn't be here…" She opens the door. "Angel, what the hell are you doing? It's daylight my God, do you have a death wish, you could be killed or or or.." Angel silenced her with a kiss. "Your not all flamey." Canala said. "Well, there's the next Rhodes Scholar" Angelina said dryly, as Angel entered the house. Angel looked at Canala, "We need to talk," he said. The glancing at Jade and Angelina, "Alone." the two took off grumbling to another room.

"Angel what's going on?" Canala asked as the two sat on the couch. "I'm human." Angel said simply, "How did this happen?" "it's kinda funny really, your dad actually helped me." "My dad, are you sure it was him, and not some Alien that looked like him?" Angel looked at her, "I'm sure it was him, and it's not like he was thrilled about it, but he helped me, no matter how begrudgingly it was."

"Ok," Canala said, "So your human, what now?" Angel bent down on one knee, "Marry me?" he asked. Canala kissed Angel . "Yes." She whispered.

It was a very touching romantic moment that was sadly ruined when Jade and Angelina popped their heads out of Canala's bedroom. "So, when's the wedding?" Jade piped. "I want to be the maid of honour!" Angelina shouted. "No way, Jade said, she's known me longer, I'm gonna be the maid of Honour!" "But I'm the one that got them together!" "SO?" Jade asked.

"Angel?" Canala asked, "Hum," he said rather amused by the girl's squabble. "I think we need to elope.
