AN: Should only be one more part after this one, thanks for being so patient with me as I edit this old story. And again, my apologies to Tara fans, (see note at end of the last chapter)

Buffy recognized her as well. "Tara!?!" She yelled.

"Never guessed there was a traitor in your very midst? Did ya?" Tara grinned. "Boy, am I good."

Now even more pissed off, Buffy charged at Adam. Tara and her consort tried the same trick they had on Riley, but Anya's magick prevented it. They couldn't even lift Buffy off the ground. They then tried moving a heavy object at her, but it bounced off her harmlessly.

Done with the spell to find Adam, Anala had taken up the same chant as Anya. They were both chanting in unison from their separate circles, both in perfect Romani;

"Candles three, green and white,
Protect them there upon this night.
The Moon is full, the sky is clear,
Bane and evil disappear.
The mighty wolf shall guide their way,
and protect their spirits night and day.
Come hither! Come hither!
Spirits of the Wolf, strong and great!
Guard us in this circle and them in their fight.
The Slayer is untouchable.
Her friends are unkillable.
We will triumph.
As I will, so mote it be.
Candles three, green and white..."

"Never guessed I had better witches than you? Did ya?" Buffy taunted back. "Well, maybe they're better at that spell, but try this one on for size." Tara rapidly began a new chant, and her eyes began to glow.

Uh oh, Buffy thought. The last time she had seen glowing yellow eyes she had been turned into a rat.

"WILLOW!!!" Buffy screamed loudly, hoping her friend could hear as well as see her. It had to be done now, before Tara's spell was completed.

As soon as she had seen Tara, Willow had lost it. She kept the link with Cordy and the second sight by sheer force of habit and continued her chant, but her mind was totally elsewhere. She watched Buffy, but no longer saw her. She saw instead all of the things that her and Tara had been through. All the things Tara had helped her with. She remembered kissing her...giving up Oz for her...She heard Buffy scream for her but was too numb to acknowledge it.

Suddenly Anala's voice pushed through her thoughts..."Buffy's going to die unless you do something! Do it now! FREEZE THEM!!!"

The voice literally screaming in her head woke her up, and she quickly brought the spell to completion. She said the final phrases and felt the talisman flare to life. Then she passed out.

Buffy stood in a room that was suddenly silent. At least silent except for Riley's moaning. There were only a few demons left, and all the vampires were gone. The demons were frozen. So were the witches. And so was Adam. And so, Buffy noticed in a passing glance, was Spike. Since he's technically evil, she assumed. But where the hell had he come from?

"Guess he wanted in on the action." Angel said, having noticed her glance. She nodded, and saw that the other Scoobies were already beheading the frozen demons.

She went quickly up to Adam, sticking her knife deep into his chest. She felt it catch on something hard, then reached her hand in and yanked it out. A power core throbbed hot in her hand. She pitched it to Angel who began to smash it.

She noticed the room beginning to waver, and knew the spell was about to break.

She quickly turned to Tara and turned her so she was facing Adam, her spell focused on him and the other witch beside him.

Willow's spell broke.

Tara screamed the last words of her spell, and fire shot out of her eyes. Adam went up in a ball of fire. He was gone in a second. The witch beside him caught only some of it, and took almost a minute to burn.

Tara slumped to the ground. That spell had taken all of her power, and had destroyed the person she served.

Buffy quickly charged her, tying her up, blindfolding her and then gagging her. She was taking no chances with magick.

Back at Giles's, Anala and Anya both stopped chanting. They knew the fight was over! They had won.

Both quickly said prayers of thanks, then said farewell to the Quarters and released the circles. "May a piece of the Goddess be forever in my heart. In no way shall this spell reverse, or place upon me any curse. By my will, so mote it be." They ended together in ritual form.

Anya looked up then, about to tell Anala thanks, when she noticed she looked a little different. "What happened to you? I've never seen magick give a person a facelift!"

"This is how I have always looked. I am simply too tired now to project the glamour I was using. That is why Willow could not be here to do her spell. Distance had nothing to do with it. She would know me. You do not. And I don't want her to know before he does..."

"He?" Anya questioned.

"You will see. I must leave now though, tell them nothing. When I return tomorrow, you will see." Anala said mysteriously. And she walked out the door.

Back in the caves, all the demons and vampires were gone, Adam was gone, and Tara was trussed up and gagged.

The fight was over!

Buffy fell into Angel's arms, and they came together in a kiss. Angel was holding her tightly, when suddenly he felt the hair on his neck raise up. Something was weird.

He pulled back from her and looked around the caves. There was another person standing there.

"Jenny?" He asked in shock.

Buffy and Giles both spun around to see the Gypsy standing next to Tara.

Meanwhile; Spike, Xander, and Wesley approached a moaning Riley. Wesley stood back, not knowing who he was.

Xander approached him warily, but couldn't help laughing. "I'm sorry man, but you so deserve this. Screwing with Buffy! You're lucky Angel didn't do this himself."

"Fate sure picked a perfect, bloody end to you, mate." Spike said.

"Help..." Riley moaned weakly..."Help me..."

"Sure thing peaches." Spike took one of the daggers he was holding and threw it at Riley's chest. It impacted right in the heart. Riley looked at him in shock for a moment, and then he was dead.

Xander just stared at him.

"I...I...I'm bloody cured!!" He hadn't even noticed it, it had just happened.

"Must have been wired into Adam somehow. When he died, all the bugs went dead." Xander said nervously.

"Oh, I'm not gonna kill ya mate!" Spike laughed at him. "I don't think Red would forgive me that one."

Willow, aka Red, was slowly waking up as Cordy slapped her face. "I'm up!" She grabbed Cor's hand before it could hit her yet again.

"Did you...oh, good, we're still in the circle." She quickly closed it, using the same procedure and chant Anya and Anala had. Then she packed up the stuff and her and Cordy headed towards the big cave.

As they walked in, they saw everyone staring at a ghostly specter. As they got close, Willow gasped. "Miss Calendar?"

The ghost looked at her, then turned her attention back to Angel and Buffy.

"You both did well." Her voice floated to them.

"Thank you." Buffy said.

Angel just looked at the ground.

"Angel, look at me. It's all right. It wasn't you, I know that. And the creature that killed me will never take control again. So don't fear."

"You mean..."

"When my people cursed Angelus, they did it for revenge. When Willow did it, it wasn't a curse with a clause, it was merely to restore your soul. There were no conditions. Not ever. You just didn't know it and there was no one who could tell you."

"Why didn't you??" Buffy felt that old anger returning.

"I couldn't. I couldn't come to Earth. I only can this night because it's a special day."

"What day?"

"It's the anniversary of your death." Giles whispered. "And I forgot you."

"No, Rupert, you never forgot me. You forgot the day because there were other things on your mind, but you've never forgotten me." The ghost soothed.

"Jenny...I love you. I just wanted to say it this once."

"And I love you Rupert. I always will."

"What about the witch??" Spike broke in rudely, looking at Tara.

"Willow?" Jenny asked.

"I can't. I...I'm too tired."

"Then I will. And Willow, keep up the magick. You're great at it."

"You really are, Will. We'd all be dead without you." Buffy added.

"Thank you." The girl whispered.

Jenny raised her arms and began chanting;

"Wind in the North, run through the trees
Three times three, let her see, let her see
Sands of the East, rich soils beneath
Three times three, set her free, set her free
Fires in the South, awake from sleep
Three times three, let her see let her see
Water of the West, flow to the seas
Three times three, set her free, set her free"

Tara began screaming in agony. Then her body began to burn, and she died as Adam had.

Jenny, her power gone, vanished; whispering, "I love you all. Goodbye."

"Whoa! What was that??" Xander asked.

"That was a three times three spell." Willow explained. "See, the universe operates on a Law of Three, where the energy you give out is eventually returned to you times three. That spell kinda speeds up the process, since the Law is what happens eventually, not immediately. So what she had done to others was returned to her. How she killed others is how she died, only in three times as much pain."

"Speaking of pain..." Giles looked to where Riley lay. Him, Buffy, and Angel had been so enraptured with Jenny that they hadn't seen Spike kill him.

"Well, he's kinda dead. My knife slipped." Spike drawled.

Buffy looked for a moment like she was about to pummel him, then shrugged her shoulders. "He's not even worth the effort of beating you up. But please don't kill people after..." She trailed off, realizing the same thing Xander had.

Spike shrugged. "Must have been hooked into Adam. When he died, I was un-neutered. But I won't kill any of you guys, don't worry." And with that comment, he sauntered out of the room, calling over his shoulder, "Told you that you and the pouf would get back together."

Buffy looked at Angel and laughed. "Why can't we ever fool Spike?"

They took one last look around, and left the caves hand in hand. The others followed.

As everyone left the caves and headed back towards town, they began to talk. Giles said that he was exhausted and wanted to go home. Everyone could tell it was mostly from the strain of seeing Jenny again and having forgotten what day it was. So they left him to go to his home alone, with instructions to send Anya (and Anala if the girl wished) to the Bronze to meet up with them. The others agreed to meet there after going home and changing.

Buffy and Angel walked into her house hand in hand. He carried a leather backpack in his other hand.

Buffy went up to her room to change, leaving him to change in her bathroom. She looked all through her closet, wanting to find something really spectacular to wear. It kinda sucked that most of her clothes were in her dorm room.

She began to open her drawers, throwing things out of them in disgust, when she suddenly found her pair of black leather pants. She grinned devilishly and pulled them on. In the next drawer she found the top she had loaned Willow for Halloween two years ago, the red velvet midriff top. She pulled that on as well. She quickly did her hair and put on some make-up. Just as she was finishing, she heard a knock on the door, "Buffy?"

"You don't have to knock!" She called back, turning to face the closed door. Angel opened the door and walked in. He stared at her in shock. For a moment he was simply stunned at how beautiful she looked, then he looked, really looked, at the outfit. He began to laugh.

Buffy looked at him as he walked in, he looked so gorgeous. He was wearing black leather pants and a red silk shirt.

She started laughing. "Boy, great minds think alike."

"Guess so." He grinned. "Should one of us change?"

"I don't know, people might think we're kinda weird..."

"Yeah..."

"Well, you change. I look better in mine!" She said teasingly.

"No way! I look better in mine!"

"I do!"

"No, I do!"

"I do!"

"Why don't we take a vote?" Angel finally laughed.

"Ummm, there's only two of us." Buffy informed him.

"No, when we get to the Bronze. See what our friends think."

"No fair. There's gonna be more girls there than guys, you'll win." Buffy pouted.

Angel just laughed. "So?"

"Oh, you know what? Who cares what people think. Let's just both go like this. Show people we're together."

"Works for me." Angel said.

They kissed for a moment, then left her room and went to the Bronze.

When they arrived, the group was already assembled. Xander sat with his arm around Anya, Cordy and Willow were talking, and Wesley sat, rather uncomfortably, with a drink in his hand.

Angel pulled another chair up to the table the five were at, and Buffy plopped down in his lap.

"Wow! Aren't you guys cute with the matching." Cordy looked them over.

"Well, we both changed, then saw each other and laughed about it. We couldn't decide who looked better in them, so we just both wore them."

"I thought we should have you guys say who looks better in them." Angel laughed.

Cordy and Willow looked at each other suggestively. "Angel." They said at once.

Xander immediately said "Buffy. Owww..." As Anya hit him on the shoulder.

Eyes turned to Wesley, who was a peculiar shade of red, "I would have to say Buffy." He said.

They all waited for Anya, who said nothing at first "What?" she finally said. "Xander looks better than both of you."

Everyone laughed.

"I guess that's that." Buffy grinned. "Hey, where's Anala? Didn't she want to come?"

"She left as soon as the spells were done, she said she'd be back tomorrow. You were right about the glamour though Willow. She looked totally different when we were done." Anya said.

"I wonder why she would do that. Who was she?" Angel said, concerned.

"We'll have to wait and see. For now, let's just have fun." Buffy said, and no one objected.

"Let's dance." Angel took Buffy's hand and led her to the floor. They began their own form of dirty dancing, totally wrapped around each other, in perfect time with the music. As the fast song ended, they stayed locked together.

A slow song started up.

When I fall in love
It will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love

Buffy and Angel wrapped themselves around each other, every inch of their bodies touching. Her head rested on his shoulder, and his head was on top her hers.

In an restless world like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun

The other's watched from the table, so very happy for the pair. They could finally be together

When I give my heart
It will be completely
Or I'll never give my heart
And the moment I can feel that
You feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you

An instrumental bridge began, and Buffy looked up into Angel's chocolate eyes. "I love you."

Angel didn't reply with words, but bent down to kiss her, showing her just how much he loved her. His hands roamed along her bear sides and down to her butt, hers began to slide up under his shirt. Their tongues dueled. They melted into each other.

And the moment I can feel that
You feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you

Watching from the table, Xander moaned, "Oh, get a room."

As the song ended, Buffy and Angel locked eyes and headed off the dance floor. But instead of heading for the table, they headed back towards the band's dressing rooms. There was no band tonight, just the DJ; and the rooms, they knew, would be empty.

"What...Where are they going?" Xander asked.

"I'd guess they're doing what you told them to do." Willow blushed.

Xander looked at her, "Here? They're just gonna do it at the Bronze?"

"Well, they are going to a room at least. Hope they're not to loud." Cordy said matter-of-factly.

Xander just stared at her, then let his head fall to the table.

AN: Last part should be out later today or early tomorrow, thanks again for being patient with me, I hope people are enjoying this.
