What Makes You Happy
CHAPTER THREE
"You're sure?" Spike asked
Buffy nodded "You don't think it's a good idea?"
"It's not my wish luv" he smiled
"I'm asking for your opinion here Spike could you be a little more supportive here?" She asked
"Sorry" he mumbled "Yeah luv it's a good idea, I'm not sure if The Powers will go for it but they did say you could have anything"
"I don't have the power to do this by myself, if I did I would've done it a long time ago. This is the best opportunity we've got... Plus it feels right" Buffy smiled
"If you feel it's the right thing to do then, I'll stand by you" he smiled back
"Promise?" She asked
"Till the end of the world"

Buffy sat on the edge of her bed and glanced over at her alarm clock sitting on her bedside table. '2:57 AM' it read, she sighed heavily and took of her leather jacket and got a little more comfortable.
"Okay... Almighty Powers I'm ready, I've made my choice" she spoke aloud to her empty lightless room.
She sighed again when nothing seemed to be happening "Hello?"
The bright white light invaded her bedroom, again she shielded her eyes as The Powers Messenger became visible.
"The Slayer" the messenger smiled "You have made your choice?"
"Yes" Buffy said firmly
"You have thought wisely I take it?" She asked
"More than wisely" Buffy mumbled "I know what I want"
"Then so shall it be"

Buffy tapped lightly on Willow's bedroom door.
"Come in" said Willow
Buffy entered finding Willow laying in bed reading a book
"Oh hey Buffy" she smiled "What's going on?"
"Nothing much, can I sit?" She asked
"Sure" said Willow bookmarking her book and placing it on her bedside table "What's up?"
"I figured out my wish" Buffy smiled
"That's great! What did you wish for?" Asked Willow excitedly
"Remember those boots I wanted? the really expensive ones from the mall?" Buffy grinned
"You wished for boots?" Asked Willow confused
"Of course not silly..." Buffy smiled and hugged her friend then pointed her attention to the doorway of the room.
There stood Tara. Smiling.
Willow's breath escaped her body as she tried to form the words to thank her best friend, Buffy smiled and left the two of them alone.
"Hello sweetie" Tara beamed
Buffy smiled brightly as she closed the door leaving the two witches to reconnect.
Spike smiled as he watched her "That's an amazing thing you just did there pet"
"I thought so" she smiled "It seemed like the perfect choice, I had to repay Willow somehow for bringing me back"
Spike gave her a look
"Okay I know I wasn't big with the whole being back thing at first, but being ripped out of heaven wasn't exactly a party"
"I remember" he whispered
"I know, but I do have a lot to be thankful for" she smiled "I get to see Dawn grow up, I get to watch my friends be happy again. I get to see you change some more"
"Me?" He asked caught completely off guard
"Yeah... I've been pretty hard on you, I've hurt you and you just-"
"Not looking for an apology here pet" he told her
"I wasn't apologising" she smirked "You keep surprising me Spike"
"Well a man's gotta have a bit of mystery to him. Although not as much as a Slayer"
"It's not a Slayer thing it's a woman thing. Feminine mystique Spike" she smiled brightly and placed a soft kiss on his lips.
Spike pulled away with a puzzled look on his face.
"Throughout all of this I asked everybody what they'd wish for. You were the only one that had selfless motives. Thank you"
"Anytime love"
