Willow was shaken out of her remembering by singing.

"Happy Birthday to you.'

As her friends and family sung Willow prayed to whatever God was 
listening that they hadn't put a hundred and five candles on the cake. 
The last time they tried was her hundredth birthday and they had 
nearly burnt the mansion to the ground. 

*** Thank the Goddess for fire extinguishers ***

Willow smiled when she saw five candles on the cake. That's when she 
remembered that after the fire fiasco her family had taken to skip the 
one hundred part and start over at one. Willow blew out the 
candles.

"What did you wish for Gramma Willow?" The five-year-old Summer Giles 
asked.

"A hundred and five more years?" Jenny smiled.

"Heavens no." Willow laughed, "I don't think this old body can take 
another hundred years."

"You'll out live us all, Gramma Willow." Jessie Harris, Xander's 
eldest son smiled.

"Now you're all depressing me." Willow laughed.

"Well its time for cake." Jenny took the cake back to the kitchen, 
"Anyone who wants some follow me."

Willow watched as everyone ran into the kitchen. Willow shook her 
head and then slowly got up and followed them.

After the cake was finished Willow sat back down on the couch and 
continued to watch the party. So many people. So many memories she 
only half-remembered. The day Jenny was born. The day Jenny had her 
own child. These were the days she had to struggle to remember. The 
day Jenny Calendar died. The day she found out about vampires. The 
day she nearly ruined two friendships were the days she couldn't 
forget.

"Gramma Willow, finish telling us the story." Xander smiled.

Willow smiled, "Which story was that?"

"The one where you fell in love with Buffy."

"Oh. Was I telling you that story?" Willow really couldn't remember.

"Yes." 

"OK. Where was I then?"

Summer smiled, "Where you met Buffy at school."

"Oh." Willow smiled, "Then I didn't tell you how I found out about 
vampires yet."

The group shook their heads.

"Well then....."
