Thanks to Allison of course and that muse way back who said, Wes deserves the Girl. Then Robbie my other muse sang these words, "I just want to feel love in the home that I live in" This made me want Spike to feel that too! Dream Once More Epilogue Willow was sharing an office with Giles. The arrangement was necessary since the majority of the rooms in the building were occupied by slayers. She was the computer girl and he was the book guy. She was going over the recent emails from the slayer site she had developed when she came across one from Buffy. Reading it, she let out a gasp of surprise. "What was that I heard over there, Willow?" Giles asked, not looking up from his book. "Ah, just a little surprise. Come read it for yourself and you'll understand." Giles circled behind her and leaned over her shoulder. "Oh dear lord!" "It's too weird for me. I mean first he was coming, then not, then he is, but later, then not, and now he is coming with Buffy. How did that ever happen? I mean it's only been a few months since the whole Emma thing." Giles took a deep breath. "We always knew Spike meant a lot to Buffy and she to him; perhaps it was inevitable." "And what's up with Miss Chicken Pants? I mean she emailed us instead of calling." "I think it's possible that she didn't want to hear our reaction." "Well, she will now." Willow picked up the phone and dialed Buffy's number. After hanging up, the redhead was smiling. "She's happy, Giles. I mean, happier than she has been in like forever. Says they are to have separate rooms because it isn't moving that fast. Oops, wasn't supposed to tell you that." He smiled. Willow continued to go through the numerous emails. "Aah, aah, Giles, come look at this. You won't believe it." "What now? I'm beginning to think you should stop reading those things." He came around his desk again to lean over her shoulder. Standing up, taking his glasses off, he began cleaning them. "Oh my dear lord!" * * * * * Wes checked his email and was shocked to see an email in his yahoo account. Only one person had the address, so it had to be her. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So, how surprised are you? I mean, a quick reply and all. I am coming to terms with myself and a little long-distance friendship will be nice. Sometimes I miss Emma's life and friends so much. I just have to get a bit hungry to know it isn't my life, though. Thanks for reaching out. And as for the news of Buffy and Spike, I am actually glad. I told you they were both bigger than real life, and really, who better suited for one another? Are you with Fred? I wanted to let you know that I am going to England; I am joining the council. Giles told me I was welcome, and I think it is the best and most redeeming thing for me to do. As always, keep this info private; Spike and Angel do not have to know specifics but, Wes, if you ever visit the homeland, drop by for a visit, will you?. We'll head to the nearest pub for a pint!
