Angel was sitting at his desk pinching the bridge of his nose. Spike was standing in front him demanding that Angel go out and send all his people to find Xander. "Listen Spike I'm doing all I can I got shamans, seer, oracles, weird demonic fish that talk to mentally."

"Well it's not enough, your crazy sister is one going on a bleeding bender and she suddenly disappears, he has to be with her."

"Did I mention that FIsh demanded I call him Dick. Angel pointed at waving a hand. Spike just stared at him and shook his head in exasperation.

"Spike" A small voice said from the doorway made both the vampires pause. Spike's face softened and he turned around.

"Niblet." As the name was popping out of his mouth Dawn ran into arms and gave a big squeeze. "What are you doing here shouldn't you be in Rome? School and all that."

"College actually and I'm old enough to buy a plane ticket and old enough to decide where I get to go." She smiled at him and placed her hands on her hips challenging him to challenge her. He laughed and gave her another hug. Angel sat there awkwardly and got up.

"Hey Dawn." She looked at him and glared.

"Where is my Xander?"

…..

As Alice and Xander walked along They came up to a sign that read Mammon's River. He looked at Alice; she just shrugged at him. And into the river. She could still feel the madness creeping in, looking down at her hands she could see purple veins start to form. Wondering if she was just seeing things. "Well I will say this the River is kinda a regular river." Leaning over Alice sighed it wasn't a regular river.

"This river shows you what you want and then some."

"Well I guess I want nothing." Xander said perplexed because he was pretty hungry. She looked at him knowingly.

"It's hell it wouldn't be as simple as food or shoes etc, etc, etc."

"Do you see anything?" Xanser kicked a pebble across the path.

"I see…..Liam.. I mean Angel, my mom, my dad, a life I could've lived and then I can see my corpse." Xander turned his head contemplating what to say next but curiosity wonj the day.

"What was he like your brother?" She smiled at him and then looked down at her feet then across the river.

"He was perfect, funny, fun, smart and he had dream ambitions….

…

"Kathy!" Liam jumped over the bench outside the house to land perfectly aside her. "Look at this sister." He showed her a small book with a picture of a boat sailing across oceans with lots of crates.

"It's a beautiful book brother." She smiled at him

"It's the future." He said enthusiastically, spreading his arms out as if it was before them. "You see, I'm a man and man has to make his own way and life and finally know what I want to do."

"You want to sail?"

"Not just said sister I want to be an importer they make a lot of money." He knelt down in front of her. "And I want to take you with me, this way father can't control either of us. Think about it, you can be a businesswoman." He smiled and winked at her."

…

"Never thought of Deadboy in that way if i'm being honest. Plus i guess boats were a really big thing back then, super important." he folded his hands behind his back and gave a good stretch.

"Is there anybody you ever miss? Xander?" She looked back over to the River and could see herself her younger self running around and playing hide and seek with her brother. How she missed him. It frustrated her that she can't decide if should kill him or not. She was brought back by Xanders reply.

"Anya" He smiled small. "Anya was also amazing, also absolutely terrifying and a vengeance demon would do weird things to mens balls." She laughed and looked astonished. "Kinda sorta how we met, she was trying to get vengeance on me for my ex-girlfriend."

"And you courted her." She asked and with confusion, Xander never stopped to surprise as of thus far.

"Dated and we were going to get married." Xander frowned remembering when he left her at the altar he regretted and was unbelievably happy when she said yes the second time. Alice went to begin to apologise when Xander paused and looked alert. "Do you hear that?" She shook her head. He walked towards the side of the river. When he looked down. Alice didn't say anything she didn't need to, she knew what he saw and she felt a wave of grief for him, her family and the all the lives she had thought to take and the ones she didn't but did anyway. But then Xnader started talking about the first time hemet his best friend Willow.

…

Buffy and Willow sat side by side in a plane. " Buffy are you sure this is the right time to be heading to LA. Willow said She had a book in her lap and. WIllow was more confident these days. She wasn't worried about going to evil veiny Willow anymore. After the big Sunnydale battle she was even more at peace. She had let her grow out and stopped wearing long skirts even though she had a lot of them hidden in case they became popular again. She was wearing a green button up with stars on it and black jeans and matching jacket. She may or maynot have stolen her style slightly from faith.

"Well Dawns went without telling anyone, I just want to make sure she's okay." Buffy said, turning her head with a magazine in hand. Willow nodded her head. "Fine and I wanna Spike...also to make sure he's okay." Willow nodded again. "And to see what Angel is doing about this Kathy situation."

"I believe her name is Alice." Willow chimed in.

"Does it really matter?"

"I don't know does it really matter she killed the immortal because if I remember correctly you were gonna do that anyway. Buffy looked guilty. "You need to seriously stop falling in love with the enemy.

"Well the enemy needs to stop being so hot..like ewl. Also I wasn't in love, maybe developing slight feelings, he was very charming."

…..

Xander and Kathy could almost see a bridge when what appeared to be a large dragon swooped down in front of it. Xander Turned his head."oy with the poodles already." That's when he noticed a sign a ways down as they got closer they realized what it said. Leviathan Bridge. "That thing is a leviathan.

"They are consumers of this world eating everything."

"And I'm guessing everybody."

"You're guess is right Xander."

"So what do we do i'm guessing we gotta cross that bridge..gasp monty python again."

"It will surely ask for a price one does not enter hell without everybody knowing."

"So we weren't exactly slick." She shook her head at him.

"I suggest we say what he wants." She said it so smoothly Xander knew she already had that information.

"Alice, we are not exactly in Wonderland I think you can tell me. He crossed his arms standing his ground.

"It will ask for a memory." She looked up at him. "What kind I can not say." As they got closer they could truly see how big the creature was and almost feel its breath.

"Halt!" It roared with it's great big mouth. The leviathan had many rows of teeth. Almost like a shark. It was all black. It's scales look sharp except for some spots it looks like. "I've heard of travel and what it is you seek, by right I should just kill you here but today I'm feeling charitable."

He passed looking up and letting out what appeared to be black smoke out of its mouth. It's eyes were so black you almost thought they were holes.

"O I see no chatting just straight to the point." Xander yelled up to the leviathan putting on a bravado. It was easy to see it was trying to intimidate them which was unnecessary; they were already unnerved. It chooses to cackle.

"I've heard about you boy with your strange bravery. I see no point in dancing around. What I require is simple. What is required is speedy timing eventually the things that dwell her well, they will not be hospitable." Alice nodded her head to Xander then stepped forward.

"Then lots waste a moment longer. What is it that you want, the Great Leviathan consumer of all."

"I require a happy memory from each of you." They paused and looked at eachother. Xander leaned close.

"I was kinda expecting something way more sinister than that."

"We won't ever remember them; they will be gone forever." she leaned towards. "Are you okay with that?" She looked at him knowing the price for the memory is easily given from her end. But it is a price to pay since true happy memories are rare.

"Yes Alice It's one I can lose willingly. I've lost enough in my life but you can make new memories. I will go first. Hope you don't mind?" He gave hew=r wink. "Alright Levi, I'm ready, how do we do this? All of a sudden the big dragon disappeared and man came over in a very nice suit and he was quite good looking.

"Call me dick. "

….

Xander woke up and rolled to his side staring at Anya. It was their first night without anybody else in their new apartment. It was quite truly quiet. No screaming parents or drunk people, no weird smell or the sound of bugs. It was clean. Anya looked perfect; she was wearing one of his T-shirts and snoring softly you could barely notice. It was also weirdly the first time XAnder looked at her and really saw how human she really did become. He swore to himself he would do anything in the world to make sure she never felt pain like he had. He would provide for and give her anything and everything wanted. He was her and he Loved her. Pressing a soft kiss to her temple he whispered "I love my Anya." He didn't care that it was cheesy. He gently moved her into his arms and fell back to sleep.

…...

Dick let go fo Xanders face, smiling and licking his lips. "Humanity is just delicious." Alice looked at Xander concerned.

"Xander, are you okay?"

"Yes I'm fine just feel weird I can still feel the happiness but it's gone and it doesn't feel like I'm missing….anything." He smiled to assure her. She nodded and turned towards Dick.

…...

"Liam, what are we doing." Kath was so small as ducked under some bushes in the forest. He turned to help her, giving her his hand.

"Well little sister you know how you wanted to know how to read?" She nodded excitedly.

"This is the way you will get to learn like mother and father…. But you have to keep it a secret. They don't realize you are here. Can you keep a secret." SHe nodded so happy she will be able to read like her brother. A queen needed to know how to read so she nodded some more. Her head ruffled when they came into a clearing with some other kids. "Welcomed to school dear sister." She spent all day learning she was so happy she was smiling the whole time. Liam looked on with a proud look on his face.

…

"It is done you may pass." Dick licked his lips once more. She nodded her head not feeling weird but not feeling normal . Xander grabbed her hand.

"Must be time for a tea party."

Author's note: As promised I have delivered this chapter to you guys on schedule I hope you guys enjoy it. I enjoyed writing it. I gave Willow a little bit more of a description because I want to be clear she is not the same scooby we met. Obviously they all have changed throughout the series and even though I know that dark magic isn't good. I also know not all things that dark are bad. XOXO
