Finally, a week without anything bizarre going down--and I can't believe I just said that. Bad Buffy! But seriously, all week I was half-expecting stalker Sly to come jumping out of the bushes at me after class again or something. But nope, just school, a couple of shifts at the Magic Box--Anya took off and left me alone again, but it was much

"I know I've said this once already," I say to Buffy, leaning down to hug her tightly, "But happy birthday."

When I let her go, my hand produces an envelope from my inner jacket pocket, handing it over.

"I know how much you love presents..."

[resurrected_b]

I rest my head on his shoulder for a minute, just enjoying the moment, before I notice the envelope. "Riley...?" I exclaim questioningly. "You already went above and beyond boyfriend birthday duty last week!"

It doesn't stop me from going for the envelope.

"And what kind of good boyfriend would I be if I didn't try to one-up the presents being tossed around at my girlfriend's party?"

I drop a casual, soft kiss on her forehead, my smile only growing wider when she pulls out the brochure to the L.A. spa I included.

"There's reservations for a weekend there made for you and Will...y'know, so you don't have to go alone. It's more fun when you've got somebody with you...at least, that's what I've heard. I've never had a mudbath or a facial, so I don't know. Is it a private thing?"

[resurrected_b]

I'm sort of struck speechless for a minute, as I flip through the brochure and ogle all the details of the total pamper-me package.

"I...I don't know, I never had one either, unless you count the facials that come in a tube in the drugstore. But I think it would be way more fun with Will along!" I give him a tight hug, bouncing on the balls of my feet a little with excitement. "You know how to pick the best gifts, thank you!"

I give him a mischievous glance. Might just have to think up a more creative way to thank him after the guests have cleared out.

I stand next to Wes, waiting to be introduced to these people. I nervously glance at the presents I got for everyone, and hope that they're good.

I've heard many a tale from Wesley and Angel about the things that have happened in this town. As long as it isn't like L.A., with evil lawyers, and inmates from Hell causing hallucinations, I'll be happy.

I press a soft kiss to Fred's temple, hand clenching hers lightly.

"I'm sure she'll love the gift, Fred."

[resurrected_b]

I make my way over to where Wes and....Fred, her name is Fred, are standing. Every time I see Wes I can't believe how different he looks from back when he first arrived to be a pain in my ass, and tonight is no different.

"Hi there, so glad you both could make it!" I say. "This is so cool to have everyone all together like this."

[taco_craving]

I smile at her happiness. Based on what Angel and Cordelia have said, I assume that it's rare for bad guys to not be attacking.

Slightly nervous, I extend my hand for a handshake.

"Hey. Nice to meet you."

Peaches.

*glares at Spike*

Don't call me that.

*smirks*

Y'prefer "git"? "Wanker"? "Sod"? Any of 'em fit, y'know, take your pick.
