"Graduation day is tomorrow." Xander grinned at Cordelia. "At least from UC Sunnydale. I still have to get a Master before I can actually get a Counseling job."
"You'll get it. You're very motivated." She assured him. "My own graduation ceremony is next week and than you and I will officially move in together and watch over the Wesen in L. A. I'm looking forward to that, mostly seeing you only on weekends since we started college hasn't been easy."
"No, it hasn't." He agreed. "But it's time to start the next stage of our lives. Jesse and Amy will do a good job watching over Sunnydale, Uncle Rory may be retired, but he's available in case any of us need any help. Joyce still hunts, even if Bob doesn't. And Diana is still teaching at the college.
"And we'll see Faith and Oz at Thanksgiving when they come to visit from Boston, she'll finish college next year and than get her Masters too and than start teaching. Oz manages a club and is still the most mellow werewolf ever."
"Tika and Tara's little girl will be born by then and we'll be Aunts and Uncles."
"I've never seen Tika so happy. Meeting a girl with a Lebensauger ancestor who's family thought that ancestor was a demon and that she'd manifest that demon herself, well they can relate to each other."
"Jesse said she'd finally found someone extraordinary enough to give her heart to and he's right." Xander agreed.
"Don't forget to pick up your tux before Friday." Cordelia reminded him. "Buffy and Pike's wedding is only two weeks away and we might need a final fitting."
"Yes, dear."
"You're still the King of Cretins."
"You wouldn't have me any other way."
"No, no I really wouldn't. Love you just the way you are."
"You too. We're start our lives together, while we keep spreading the message. We don't have to be enemies and we only go after the bad ones."
"Sooner or later, everyone will get it, I hope." She agreed. "Won't be easy, but what worthwhile thing isn't? Like us."
"It's a good message." A voice said softly and they glanced over at the woman standing there. "I'll pass it on to my nephew when the time comes, thank you for helping with this hunt. I'm glad it turned out well."
"Not a problem, Marie." Xander told the Grimm woman, the same one he'd first met four years ago while filling the tank on his car. She'd come to them for help in tracking a rogue through Sunnydale, not the first time, maybe the last time. One could always hope. She'd asked on an update on their group.
"Maybe he'll make friends with Wesen too. It's been a good thing for all of you, it could be for him too. Well, I need to get going. We'll stay in touch." She promised before getting in her own car and heading back home.
A/N Marie died within days of Nick activating, she had cancer and Monroe, a Blutbad, Wolf Wesen, became a very good friend of Nick's and even before they became friends, guarded her in the hospital while Nick investigated an attack on her. She told Nick, we only hunt the bad ones.
Please don't flame me for putting Tika and Tara together, especially after killing off Willow, please. I love Tara and thought she was a beautiful character and her family's whole 'demon' belief worked well in this story.
