Rating: It’s up to NC-17 now…do I hear cheers from the Kittens??
Spoilers: Up to Season 5, except for the last bit of “The Gift”
Pairings: W/T, X/A, B/F
Disclaimer: Joss and ME own these, I don’t, I just thought of the scenarios and borrowed the characters. I’m not making money out of them so don’t throw me in jail-I’d like to have a life still
Summary: Basically this is an idea I got whilst walking home after my Geog exam, thinking what might happen if the Scoobies got a chance to go to London. Naturally the two Wiccan wonders will be in the spotlight, thought I’d drag the others along for good measure too
Notes: Ok, Buffy never died, Willow didn’t go all magick addict gal, Tara never died (harhar Joss

), Xander and Anya are together still and married, Giles didn’t leave, Dawn exists, and this is set in 2003, with all the people happy and amusing as always. Oh and Faith’s out of prison for good behaviour.
Chapter 16: The Big Night…Part A: More big talks, and formal wear…
The next night….
Faith and Willow were in Faith’s room, getting ready. This was much to Tara’s consternation, after being told that Faith and Willow had to finish off Tara’s surprise, they had locked Faith’s door, leaving Tara to get dressed in her and Willow’s room…alone.
A knock at the door startled her as she finished dressing, and she went over to the door, opening it, and nearly getting bowled over by Anya, who appeared to be in a hyperactive state.
“Oh my god, this is so exciting, the last time I was at a big night out in England was…”
“Back in your demon days?” Tara predicted, thinking she wasn’t going to like the rest of the story.
“Yes, as a matter of fact. You look great by the way, I think Willow’s not going to last the night with you wearing that.” And Tara did look great. The blue formal dress showed off her curves, and the color matched her eyes.
Hehe, Anya had better be right about Willow, she smirked inwardly.
“Thank you, you look amazing.” Tara replied, taking in the dress Anya wore.
“Oh, Willow and I got it today, along with your-“ Anya shut up one second too late, and Tara raised her eyebrow.
“Ok, what’s going on? Because I’m getting impatient.”
Anya grinned. “You’ll find out tonight.” She jumped up and down. “This is going to be great!”
**********************************************************************************************************
“Does this look ok?” Willow asked for the hundredth time.
Faith threw up her hands in frustration. “YES! You look amazing! Once Tara sees you, you two wont even get out of the hotel!”
Willow’s face expressed horror. “But…but then I can’t do the whole, you know, romance thing, and that would be ruining the whole opportunity, and OH MY GOD, I cant believe I’m saying sex with Tara is a bad thing!” She looked almost heartbroken.
Faith sat on the bed. “Look, everything’s going to be great. Just calm down, you’re giving me a migrane. As if that wasn’t enough, Dawn still hasn’t told me or Buffy about the film.”
Willow grinned, remembering the conversation she had had with the Scoobies, minus Faith and Buffy, earlier that morning…
Dawn finished outlining her plan to the Scoobies, as she had done with the Slayers last night. “Ok, so how does the film and big blowout meal sound?”
A chorus of excited approvals sounded, even from Anya, who usually disapproved.
Tara frowned. “Ok, if you’re telling us, then why aren’t Buffy and Faith here?”
Dawn grinned evilly. “Well, I figured us guys could see a movie, and they could go alone-“
Willow grinned. “I can see someone else figured them out…”
“Well come on! They give each other the puppy love eyes when the other’s not looking. Anyway, Buffy said that whatever film I chose, she and Faith would go to.”
“Which is why we’re here and they’re not? You wanted help in choosing?”
“Oh no…I already got that one covered…I just wanted your 2 cents…” Dawn almost appeared to grow devil horns as she showed the others the film schedule. A single chorus of laughter echoed through the room.
“You realise,” Willow managed between fits of laughter, “that they’ll kill you for this…”
“Either that or they’ll thank me…” Dawn stated triumphantly.
Willow smirked, as Faith looked at her quizzically. “Ok Red, what’s with the face?”
“Oh, nothing, its just that I think we’ll all have a great time. Dawn’s taken a lot of time to plan this.”
*****************************************************************************************************
“Come on Dawn, what film are the Chosen Two headed for?”
“I’m not telling you Buffy, you’ll find out when we get there!” Dawn sighed. Sometimes she wondered how she had survived as the Slayer’s sister for the 3 years she had in reality, 18 years in her monk-created memories.
Buffy scowled as she paced the room, waiting for Xander and Giles to come and meet them. The other 4 apparently were still getting ready.
Dawn came out of the bathroom, looking gorgeous in her dress. “Wow,” Buffy managed. “Someone had better watch you tonight.”
“Gee thanks.”
“I’m only saying, I don’t want more vamps coming after you like they did when you had that graduation party at the Bronze.”
“I told you, that wasn’t my fault. You look great by the way.” Faith’s gonna last two seconds with you wearing that, she thought smugly.
“Gonna make some comment about guys coming after ME?” Buffy teased.
“Should I?” Dawn shot back. She sat down on the bed, watching Buffy pace. Gathering her courage, she asked, “What’s going on with you and Faith?”
“Nothing, why? She said something?”
“No, but I’m a kid sister, and I know you too well.” The patented Willow resolve face had been taught well to Dawn, and could, with effort, coerce even the hardened warrior into talking.
Buffy sighed, and flopped down on the bed. “I think I love her.”
Well that was a surprise. “Wow. Does she, you know…”
”I’m not about to ask her Dawn.”
Before Dawn could say more, a knock at the door came. Damn you Xander…
A fire in my heart, reborn from the ashes...just call me Phoenix
I'm Under Your Spell, nothing I can do, you just took my soul with you...
