Sunnydale:
Willow sat down next to Buffy and rested her head on the slayer's 
shoulder as Tara wrapped her arm around the Buffy's waste. For the 
longest time the three of them just sat their in Willow and Tara's 
dorm room holding on to each other, trying to absorb all the 
information Giles and the Elves had given them a few hours ago.

Finally Buffy looked at the two Wicca and spoke, "I'm scared."

"About what," Willow nervously inquired.

"About this whole joining ceremony, I know that I am in love with the 
two of you but all of this is so sudden, its just that it just seems 
like it is..."

"Moving to fast," Tara interjected.

"Yeah, to fast, I'm not even sure what is going on."

Willow placed a kiss on Buffy's forehead, then slid over to Tara, and 
kissed the blonde Wicca's forehead, "I know, but after what Giles and 
the Elves said I don't think we have time for a long courtship."

Buffy placed her arm around Willow and leaned into the red headed 
Wicca, "I know but it all seems so soon, I just found you two and now 
we have to get married, I would at least like to go out on a date 
first."

Willow and Tara both looked into Buffy's eyes as she spoke, they 
could see how unsure of herself the slayer was and that her eyes 
where filled with fear. 

Willow Pulled Buffy into a tight hug and spoke softly into the 
slayer's ear, "Buffy is something wrong." 

Buffy pulled out f the hug and moved herself so she was facing Willow 
and Tara, "Yeah, last night was so wonderful, I didn't want it to end 
but now. Well it's just that I am, well I am..."

"You're what," Tara quizzed as she reached out and took Buffy's 
hand. 

"Well you two have been together for so long now and I, I..."

"Buffy how long me and Tara have been together doesn't effect what is 
happening between the three of us," Stated Willow.

"Yes it does. The two of you are in love, you have been for a while 
now, and I don't want to mess that up. I don't want to be the cause 
of you being unhappy," Buffy sobbed.

Tara Reached over and wiped the tears from Buffy's eyes. Willow 
pulled the slayer into a hug and placed her forehead against Buffy's. 

Tara then moved over to the side up next to move and embraced the 
slayer.

Willow waited for a moment and began to speak, her world filled with 
love as she tried to comfort Buffy and figure out what was going 
through the slayers mind to make her like this. "Buffy we both love 
you and you love us, how could you possibly make us unhappy," 

"Because I am making things more complicated. Every since last year 
it has been just the two of you and you where happy, now all of this 
happens and I move into the picture. I don't want to come between 
the two of you. I don't want to mess up what you have, an I know I 
will... every relationship I have ever had has been a disaster."

Tears began to form in Willow and Tara's eyes as they listened to the 
slayers words, Willow choked back her tears and tenderly ran her hand 
across Buffy's cheek, "Buffy I love you and so does Tara, the only 
thing that could make us unhappy now is not being able to be with 
you."

Tara leaned into Buffy and placed a gentle kiss on her 
cheek, "Willows right, this isn't like any of the other times, this 
time it is love and the three of us will make it work."

"Do you mean that," Buffy nervously asked.

Tara leaned into Buffy and tenderly kissed the slayers lips, "I do."

Willow then repeated Tara's movements and gently kissed Buffy, "Me 
too."

Tears began to flow from Buffy's eyes as her two new lovers words 
sunk in, "I love you, I love both of you with all my heart but what 
about all the relationships I have screwed up in the past, I don't 
want to either of you."

"You won't I said that we will make it work and we will," Tara 
replied.

"She's right Buffy, this is one relationship that's going to work," 
Willow added.

"How can you be so sure."

"Because this time it's different, you where under the influence of 
dark magic before, it prevented you from loving like your capable of 
loving."

Tara picked up where Willow left off, "It's true Buffy, it was the 
magic that ruined your love life not you. and now that the spell is 
broken and we are together things are going to be different."

"They are?"

"Yes," Willow and Tara replied in unison.

Buffy wiped the tears from her eyes, a stared into Willow and Tara's 
loving eyes, "OK, lets do the ceremony, but I am still nervous about 
it."

"So am I," Tara Answered.

"Me too, but together we'll make it," Willow comfortingly replied.

The two Wicca then got up and reached there hands out to Buffy. The 
slayer took their hands and they helped her up off of the floor. She 
then pulled Willow and Tara into a passionate hug and rested her head 
on their shoulders as she cried tears of joy for the love they shared.

England:

Quentin Trevors sat in his study reading over Gile's reports on 
activity levels of the Hellmouth. It bothered him that they where 
unable to control the slayer like they had her predecessors but there 
was not much he could do about that. Buffy Summers was defiant and 
would not listen to them, but she was also the most powerful slayer 
he had seen or read about. Quentin sighed and tossed the report down 
on his desk, there was nothing he or the council could do about Ms 
Summers except wait for a demon or vamp to get the best of her and 
hope the next slayer would be easier to control.

Quentin heard a loud bang outside of his study, jumped out of his 
chair, and grabbed the pistol he kept in his desk drawer. He slowly 
began to move towards the door, once Quentin got to the door he 
reached out towards the doorknob. Before hi could open the door it 
was violently flung open. Before he could react a large figure 
bolted into the room and tore the gun from his hand. He looked up to 
see his attacker only to be knocked to the floor by a powerful 
backhand.

Quentin looked up from the floor and saw two skeletons with short 
swords looming over him. The two skeletons step of to the side and a 
third figure walked up next to him. Trevors eyes filled with terror 
as he gazed at the powerful six and half foot Dark knight dressed in 
full combat armor. His body began to tremble as the knights massive 
hand reached down and grabbed him by the collar. 

The Dark knight lifted Trevors up off the ground with his left hand 
and held the watcher in the air. The knight then hit him with a 
powerful blow from his right hand knocking Trevors out cold.

The Dark knight turned to the Skeleton warriors, "We must go now, our 
Keeper is waiting."

Sunnydale:

Spike froze in his tracts as soon as he stepped into the mausoleum he 
was currently calling home. He stared at the two vampires and the 
human dressed in jet-black combat armor that where standing in his 
lair and began to size them up. The vampires besides being dressed 
in black robes and wearing black capes seemed to be nothing more then 
your everyday vampires, the human was a different story. 

Spike could tell that this warrior was powerful but that's not what 
was bothering him, it was the humans eyes that was getting to the 
blonde vampire, along time ago he learned that the eyes where the key 
to the mortal soul but when he gazed into this Knights eyes he saw 
something he had never seen before, pure evil. This dark warriors 
eyes revealed to Spike a soul so dark that it put him on the same 
level as the most vicious of demons.

Spike took a deep breath and glared dead into the humans eyes and 
forcefully Spoke to him, "Who the Bloody hell are you and what are 
you doing here!"

"Who we are is unimportant, what is important is why we are here."

"And that would be," Spike demanded. 

"We are here because our Keeper wishes for you to join his cause."

"Bloody hell just what I need, first it was Mr. Boring with all his 
talk of some all powerful keeper and now you guys show up," Spike 
ranted.

The dark knight walked up to Spike, "Do not judge us or our Keeper by 
the failure that was Riley Finn for he was a fool who shall soon be 
punished for his existence."

"OK your right about Finn being a fool, but that doesn't say why I 
should join you."

"Join us for power and glory. For the Keeper has vast lands and 
limitless resources. Fight with us when the time comes to rampage 
the earth and you will know a life that you never though possible for 
one of your kind."

"And why should I believe that," Spike cynically inquired.

The Dark Knight took a step back from Spike and produced a small bag 
from his pouch, "I see you need some convincing."

The Dark Knight threw the bag onto the floor of the mausoleum and it 
broke open, spilling the gold it contained all over the floor. Spike 
knelt down and ran his hand across the gold, then looked up at the 
Dark Knight, "You convinced me, when do we leave?"

Los Angles:

Faith pounded her fist against the concrete wall of her cell, she 
hated this place, she hated herself for being stupid enough to listen 
to Angel and turn herself in, but most of all she hated Buffy and her 
goody two shoe friends. <I swear if I ever get out of here B I'm 
coming after you. I'm gonna make you pay for ruining my plans.>

Faith pounded her fist into the wall again only to hear a guard shout 
at her..."Do that one more time and you're going back into lock down."

Faith Turned around towards the door to her cell and stared at the 
guard with contempt, "Why don't you come in here and make me."

The guard took a few steps back from the cell and nervously looked at 
Faith as she recalled what had happened to the last guard who had 
been foolish enough to go in the young woman's cell when she was in 
one of her moods.

Faith strutted up to the cell door and hit the bars with both hands 
causing the guard to jump back, "what's a matter, you don't want to 
come in and play."

The guard stared at Faith for a moment, "OK if that's the way your 
going to be then so be it. I am going to get some back up and then 
your going into lock down.

Faith hit the cell bars again as the guard turned to walk away. The 
Dark slayers eyes widened as the guard pulled out her night stick and 
began to tremble. She watched as the guard held the stick in on hand 
and began to fumble at her radio with the other. 

Faith watched as two enormous creatures made their way to the guard. 
They where over Seven feet tall and wore black body armor. The 
creatures had large winds that came out of their backs and carried 
gigantic long swords. 

Faith began slowly backing up away from the door to her cell as one 
of the beast placed his hand forcefully on the guards head and 
snapped the young woman's neck with a flick of its wrist. The other 
creature walked over to the cell, grabbed the bars with his hands, 
and with one powerful tug ripped them from their foundation.

"The Senior Dark Angel stepped into the Faiths cell and looked at the 
dark slayer as she nervously took a fighting stance, "There is no 
need to fight us. Our Keeper wishes you to join his cause. We are 
here to free you."

"And what cause might that be?"

"To conquer the world and destroy all that is good," The Dark Angel 
coldly replied.

Faith pondered what he said for a moment then spoke, "Do I get to 
Kill B and her friends."

"If you speak of the Slayer and the Wicca, then yes."

Faith cautiously walked up to the Dark Angels and looked at them for 
a moment before reaching out with her hand, "I'm in."

Sunnydale:

Vallen and Kari sat at the table looking at the Giles, Xander, and 
Anya. 

Vallen rested his shoulders on the table and leaned in towards the 
humans, "A Eleven strike force will arrive here early this evening 
before the joining ceremony. Between them and the Triad we should be 
able to fend off the Keepers minions until our main force arrives in 
two days."

Giles leaned back in his chair and took a sip of his tea, "I see, 
what can we do to help."

"Aid the slayer and be there for her and the two Wicca as you always 
have," Vallen paused for a moment and gathered his thought, "These 
are dark times we are headed into, the Keeper and his minions will be 
relentless, if they are to survive they will need your support."

Giles looked Vallen dead in the eyes, "They have my support, they 
always have and they always will."

The Eleven warrior smiled at Giles, "I am glad to here that. Now on 
with more pleasant things have all the agreements been made for the 
ceremony?"

"Yes. The Rosenbergs have hired a cater, Joyce is going to play the 
piano and I am going to Sing."

Anya cut off Giles in mid sentence, "Xander has got chairs from the 
community center and we are getting them in a hour to bring back her, 
plus we got all the items from on your list the magic shop, and I got 
a whole bunch of flowers, plus Cordelia and Angel will be getting her 
about a hour before the ceremony."

Xander looked at Anya for a moment then turned to Giles, "You invited 
Angel?"

"Well it seemed the right thing to do, and besides he can help us if 
trouble breaks out."

Xander shook his head, "But what about his and Buffy's past, and 
don't forget about the whole Angelus thing."

"Xander, that's all in the past."

"But it's Angel."

"Xander if Buffy can move on then so can the rest of us, your just 
gong to have to deal with it, for Buffy, Willow, and Tara's sake your 
gonna have to find it in your heart to get along with Angel."

"OK, but I am doing it for them," Xander replied with a tint of 
defiance in his voice.

The Forgotten Domain:

Faith and Spike stood in the Dungeon heart starting at Zaven as he 
got up off his throne. The Keeper was 6'2" and had white hair and 
fiery red eyes.

Zaven walked over to his two newest minions and sized them up, "I am 
glad you could make it, For I will be needing your services when I 
crush the earth."

Zaven then looked directly at Spike, "Before you are any use to me 
that chip is going to have to be removed," He then turned to one of 
the Dark nights in the room, "Take him to the library and have the 
Dark Wizards remove the chip."

Zaven then moved over next to Faith, "And you Dark slayer will be my 
pride and joy. It will be you who commands the mistress's and it 
will be you who brings me the Slayer and the Wicca's heads, but first 
you are in the need of training. One of my Imps will take you to the 
Torture chambers, there are a couple of old friends waiting there for 
you."


Sunnydale:

Buffy looked at Tara and Willow, they looked stunning in the white 
ceremonial gowns Kari had given them. She walked over to her 
newfound loves and ran her hand across each of their cheeks, "Did I 
tell you how beautiful you two look?"

"Only about a hundred times," Willow replied.

"I think it was more like two hundred, Tara jokingly added.

"Hey are you two picking on me, " Buffy mockingly pouted.

"Certainly not," Willow replied as she placed her hands on Buffy's 
shoulder and leaned in for a kiss, "picking on you is the last thing 
on my mind."

"Mine too," added Tara as she went over and kissed the back of 
Willows neck.

Willow let out a small moan and turned her head to kiss Tara's tender 
lips. Buffy moved over next to Tara and kissed the Wicca's 
forehead. After Willow broke her Kiss Buffy leaned into Tara and 
kissed the blondes lips.

The two of them turned to Willow and looked at her seductively. 
Willow smiled at them and shook her head, "I am afraid we don't have 
time, the ceremonies in a few hours and we are still not ready."

"Hey we're the guest of honor they can wait," Buffy huskily replied.

"Yeah what she said," Tara added, her voice laced with passion.

Willow step towards the two blondes, her eyes filled with lust for 
her lovers, "Well I guess it's not going to hurt anything if the 
ceremony gets started a hour or two late."
