Extra Ball

"That kinda sucked," Xander said lying on the ground with smoke rising from him.

Willow was standing on his chest, neither of them seemed to care, her eyes darting everywhere. "I think we won."

"Thanks for shielding me," Xander said.

"Erm, I didn't," Willow told him. "I barely had the time to shield myself."

"So… we survived." Xander said as Willow scanned around them. "Now what?"

"I don't know," Willow admitted softly. "They're all gone."

"We knew this was the end game, Wills," Xander told her.

"Yeah, but we were supposed to go too!"

"Well we didn't," Xander said. "We survived and we're just going to have to deal with it."

"No more demons," Willow said. "Hell, never any demons to begin with, so no slayers or anyone with demon blood in them."

"To save the world we had to destroy it," Xander agreed.

"I suppose we should… What should we do?" Willow asked sitting down on Xander's chest.

"We are demon hunters in a world lacking demons, I say we retire and raise…" Xander trailed off.

"Raise what?" Willow asked.

"Anything we feel like," Xander told her. "The world isn't on our shoulders anymore, we won. What did you dream about before all this started?"

"I was fourteen before all this started," Willow reminded him lying down on his chest.

"And what was your dream?"

"I dreamt we'd get married and have a boy and a girl and a house with a white picket fence," she admitted. "But that was before I knew I was gay."

"So gay me up," Xander said with a grin.

Willow laughed. "I think that would be counterproductive."

"Are you saying you can't turn me into a lesbian?" Xander pulled her down for a kiss, they both needed some emotional relief and the only ones they had left to turn to were each other.

Xander's form developed some surprising curves, but he adapted quickly.

They were arrested half an hour later as the police take a dim view to couples having sex in public parks.

Several months later…

"It can't be them," Sirius said shaking his head.

"I'm telling you it is," Remus insisted. "The eyes can lie but the nose knows! Here sniff this!" Remus pulled a pair of red satin panties and a pair of white boxers out of his pocket and shoved them in Sirius' face.

"You can't be-" Sirius fell silent and then started sniffing them in earnest, eyes so wide they looked like they'd fall out of his head at any second.

The entire Order of the Phoenix just watched the pair in confusion.

"Dare I ask what they're doing?" Snape said his usual acerbic wit missing as he stared at the two in confusion.

"They're alive!" Sirius exclaimed in shock.

"Who's alive?!" Minerva demanded.

Sirius tossed her the boxers and she took a delicate sniff only to bury her nose in them and breathe deeply a second later. "How?"

Tonks held out a hand and a confused Sirius handed her the panties. She took a sniff and the three who'd smelled the underwear just gave her a strange look.

"Are you some kind of pervert?" Remus asked.

"What? No!" Tonks exploded. "I was just trying to figure out what you were smelling."

"We're animagus and these are people we know," Minerva explained. "But that still doesn't explain where Remus got them or how they're alive!"

"Who?!" several people exploded.

"James and Lily," Remus explained. "I thought I was hallucinating when I saw the pair in a park, they didn't notice me because they were a bit preoccupied, and these were left behind as they fled from the bobbies."

"Are you telling me James and Lily are alive?" Albus asked.

"What?!"

Everyone turned and saw Harry standing in the doorway.
