The search began, Faith and Cordelia went to find him it felt like Cinderella backwards the princes is having them find her prince and they didn't even meet at the ball she sat on the steps one afternoons reading over the two letter se smiled she didn't even notice the Immortal come up to her

"What might you be reading Princes?"

She said "none of your business"

He said "you don't love Jacque"

She said "no I don't but why do you care"

He said "I have been nothing but honest with you… you know we could b be great together"

She got up walking way from him "never"

He grabbed her arm pulling her close so that there lips were near "you know you are attracted to me"

She said "yeah you are attractive but never would I sleep with or marry you you're an arrogant pompous and any one who married you would have to be insane"

He said "have you ever thought about it"

She said "never"

He pulled her into the closet blocking he in against the wall "perhaps you don't under stand my offer you don't take my offer I will make your life a living hell"

She said "I haven't heard one yet… but le me guess marry you so you can rule the under world and the real world I think not" she got in hi face I think you have forgotten who I am I may be the princess but I'm also still very much a slayer and I got enough left to kick you sorry ass" the servant opened the closet door and to her it look like they might have been kissing

She said "sorry I'll leave you too alone then"

Buffy said "no it's not" the door shut "…what you think" she was heated and opened the door

He said "it can be" she stepped out

Turing to him smiling "maybe" she touched his face giving him her signal to come out as he get to the door way she slammed the door as hard as she could she was happy to hear the wonderful sound of his nose crack. As she strolled away as he came out "might wanna put some ice on that"

'Cause I find it hard to trust
I need too much

A week later

Buffy had begun to think that maybe they weren't going to find him she was coming down the grand stair case when faith and Cordelia came in Buffy asked "please god tell me you found him if you didn't I'm screwed"

Faith said "we tried B" out side a back limo pulled up a door man opened the door you saw a mans feet step onto the gravel

Cordelia nodded "yup" as he walked to the steps and up them you can see his waist but still not his face

Buffy came down the stars "what" he got to the front door but all you could see was his back and the back of his head

Faith said "it as just so hard" he reached for the door

Cordelia said "we just didn't know where to look… sorry"

And I really don't believe in love, no no

Do you think
That I could be the girl of your dreams

Buffy sighed "thank you for trying I'll have willow look into it but thank you" she turned to walk away slowly when they ran to the front door he opened it and they smiled he stepped in thy stepped to the side she was half way up the steps my now

A voice that only could belonging to one man ran out into the hall "Wow… for a person that waned me back I didn't think that it would be that easy for you to give up"

She turned sharply and he was leaning in the front entry way looking as good as ever and better still as the sun shined in the door right behind him and he didn't flinch in face he had on sunglasses and had grown in a goatee he look sexier hen ever standing there she tried to stay calm as she came back down the steps "well Prince Liam O'Connor… nice to finally meet you"

He took her left hand in his right hand at the same time taking his sun glass of and putting them in his suite pocket kissed it "my pleasure I'm sure"

She leaned on the banister "maybe… maybe not"

he said "all this time Princes Elizabeth and I don't even get a happy to see you" he walked up to meet her on the step under hers so h was talker and she had to look up at him she smiled pulling him into a seductive kiss

When it ended she bit her lip "I wonder how un-princess like it would be for me to take the prince upstairs and show him how much I've miss him"

Sometimes I don't let things go
get emotional
And sometimes I'm just out of control

The talked most of the morning until her shooting lesson Buffy walked out there with him he said "what is it for"

She said "um lighting some ceremonial candle ring thing for the big come full circle as the next queen takes her crown"

He said "oh can I help"

She said "watch first" she went through it with the teacher she figured she got it so she stopped paying him much attention when it was her turn she was hitting everything but the damn thing Angel ducked when one came to close to him hit a can

She said "god I suck"

Angel said "watch me"

She said "you know this"

He a gave her a look like I-was-born-know-how-to-shoot-these-hell-Galway-old-time-stuff look she smirked "okay"

He too the arrow prepared to am it pulled it bake got line up and fired and it hit the target dead center she stopped paying attention and was more mesmerized with him he said "did you get that"

She nodded her friends who were setting on the died giving NO signals she glared at them

Two weeks later

Buffy sat in her suite "okay on my behalf… I was not my fault it was The Birds part too in there"

Faith said "but it was funny when one of them pooped on the security guards head

Willow laughed "yeah funny"

Xander said "good thing we were able to catch them before they pecked us to death there beck's hurt

Sam said sitting on the floor "what now"

Buffy said "learning to ride side saddle"

Angel said "I can teach you"

Buffy said "really"

Angel nodded Xander coughed "looks how well he did with the arrow"

Buffy threw a pillow at him leaning comfortably on Angel she said "show me"

You need to stop for a minute
Before you get too, deep up in it
(Too deep)

He looked at her as his eyes darkened she leaned up and kissed him pulling him in the kiss she anted him so badly now she knew she could have him but with camera' everywhere they couldn't risk it. She pulled away

She said "we must wait"

They went in he escorted her o her suite and she smiled he had his own room down the hall she said "can we talk"

He nodded.

Before you get hooked on the venom
And can't live without it

They went in and sat n the coach she turned to him "you know why you're here"

He said "I thought it was so we could star the relationship over again from scratch"

She said "that to… hey didn't tell you why I need you here now"

He said "no what was it"

She said "Angel, love you and I wan o be with you for ever do you want to be with me"

He said "of course I do"

She said "could you live with my lifestyle"

She said "the reason I wanted you here" she got up walking way starting to pace "was because… parliament declared he only way that I can receive the crown and full leader ship is full if I get married… with in the year and I only have at this point 9 months"

He looked "at her I see"

She came back to him "Angel I love you I wan to be with you forever and I wouldn't have gone through so much if I didn't… I need you Angel, I want this crown and I want you but I don't want to force you into this marriage if our not ready for it… I want you to marry me because you're sure that that what you want… I am"

He turned seeing Giles and Angel standing there Giles walked over followed by Angel he said "Angel has informed me of what you have done… what your trying to do, now you may a great and powerful vampire but in the end your just that… a vampire, I have many friends and many trick"

Angel stepped forward and "so do I"

Giles took off his glasses "not unless you wanna see what were really capable of"

Angel said "I torture fore years Killed dieing to try it all over again… I'm a little rusty it might take longer"

The Immortal said "no but you forget who I am has no effect on me… give me your best shot"

Angel said "smell that"

Giles said "I do… and that is fear"

He said "but how"

She smiled "you're talking to the first slayer to retire at 25"

He was shocked she winked taking his arm "come you don't want to be late"

Two months later it was the parade they passed out flags and went though town along the ride Buffy saw the beautify off the place she knew she had to do something about her girls her slayers it had been on her mind it came to her.

Thy had a meeting in parliament and Angel was at her side she said "I want to have 7 building built and aside from the 7 properties in Ireland changed over"

Parliament man said "but we own nothing"

Buffy smiled at Angel "I do and that is now going to be hers"

She said "any argument"

They were in agreement after he meeting they met with the queen "what is you wanted"

She said "o tell you the truth"

Buffy said "what"

She said "this queen ship is more then just what you think it is everything that you know applied to the human world and the demon world"

Buffy said "how did you"

She said "my dear… I was the first slayer to live past twenty five and I married you great grand father, I'm also a witch as well a well known old one I must say, with this I was able to do so much to keep the underworld at bay… and so will you, that why I chose you, this queen ship is not the choice between both worlds it is the power to control them and bend it onto the die of good you have slayers many of them I know and you can use this power to help them and really tip the scares… there are many kings a queens out there like me just like there was the black thorn were the knights of the round table for the die of good when you come into this all will be sacred and you never have to choose.

Buffy had been wondering "how did you"

She said "I didn't slay anymore once I became queen… you don't have to but that doesn't mean you are not part of that world and once you are crowned you will be able to get connected to the powers that be"

Buffy said "this was them"

She nodded "it was time for you too to be together anyway… together you are powerful, unstopped and wit this power of god you are unstoppable… se it wisely"

Buffy was in shock they told the others Faith said "wow… a royal slaying family of good this is… wow"

Cordelia said "I never though it was one but I guess anything is possible"

Buffy said "yeah"

Xander said "know I'm your right hand man'

Buffy said "I'm going to need all of you to go through this"

Faith said "were hear B"

Buffy said "thank you"

She's thinking walking back to her room when the Immortal shows up she said "what do you want to lock me up in a closet with a horse to trample me to death"

He said "no I ant to let you know that the feud is over the best man as won you and I'm going to let him"

She said "really… you aren't even going to duel Angel for my hand"

He laughed "thought about it but know seen his moves on a horse he's kill me… it's all you prices take it with my love" he took her hand and kissed

She said "oh thanks… I think" she walked away
