Summary: Wedding day.
(Enough said LOL)
and yes I have to throw
the song ET in the wedding since I made it their song.
Also because of the time
change Buffy is alive again but Alison is still going to become the
slayer again. Unfortunately that means I will have to find a way to
kill Buffy again. I SWEAR I DON'T HATE BUFFY! Or at least I don't
anymore now that I have seen more of her show. But I liked Alison as
the slayer so I want her to be the slayer.
that is the link to the
wedding dress that I liked and put in my story so if you wanna see it
paste that link into your web browser. It's really pretty and I will
do my best to describe it.
People at the wedding:
Willow
Xander
Giles
Connor
Angel
Darla
Fred
Gunn
Wesley
Illyria
Ava
Alana
Garret
Buffy
Dawn
and that is all!
Chapter Nine: The truth
about Alison
The alarm woke her up around
9 in the morning.
She spent the first couple
hours with her mom who helped her get her hair ready. Then since
everyone else had already left Darla drove her.
Ali was surprised when they
arrived at a cemetery and pulled up near what looked like a kind of
cathedral but she knew it wasn't a holy one.
Darla led her up a long
stair case to a room where she had a mirror set and helped her put on
her dress.
When Ali saw her dress she
was amazed at the beauty of it.
It was more like a mix
between a wedding dress and a ball gown and she loved it.
There was a diamond around
the waste of the gown on a sash and once the dress was on Ali felt
like Melting. She hoped that Spike would love it.
The butterflies in her
stomach certainly flapped around enough.
Darla kissed her head
telling her not to worry and then left her to go get her own gown on.
Ali began to pace in her
dress nervous now she only wanted to see two people. Spike or her
father.
There was a knock on the
door. “Come in.” Ali called.
Angel came in dressed in a
black tuxedo with a black tie and Ali thought he looked quite
stunning.
“Wow.” Ali said.
“You look beautiful Ali.”
Angel said a big smile on his face as he came over and gave her hug
because frankly she looked like she needed one.
“You nervous?” he asked.
“Terrified.” Ali said
with a smile.
“Your still my little girl
you know. We still have an hour I wanted to talk to you. I want to
tell you why I'm doing this. Why I gave you guys permission to get
married even though your only 16.” Angel said as he sat down.
“Here. Sit in my lap.”
Angel said pulling her into his lap her weight no trouble at all to
him.
“Daddy.” she whined.
“Shh. Let me talk. And
just listen. I know Spike and I don't always get along. And I didn't
approve when you started dating. But I knew that it would be wrong to
try and keep you two apart. I know he's a good guy. Deep down. And
once I realized that you two were really in love no matter how it
made me feel I wasn't gonna hold you back. You deserve to be happy.
And if Spike is what makes you happy then I guess I just have to
accept that. I want you to know that I'm happy for you. You and Spike
love each other the same way Buffy and I loved each other. And before
I walk you down the isle I have to know for sure...........are you
absolutely sure your ready for this? Cause I'm ready with the get
away car if your not.” Angel said the last part with a smile.
Ali laughed “Daddy.” she
whined lightly pushing him.
“Don't worry. I can't
imagine how I could be anymore ready for this. And I may be 16 but I
also have more power and responsibility then most people who are
twice my age. I'm ready for this. I'm ready for him. He's mine
forever.” Ali said.
Angel got a pained look on
his face but it was gone a second later.
Every time he heard one of
his kids say the word forever he remembered that he was immortal and
they were not. He lived forever. They wouldn't. And he was tempted
every time to just solve that for them.
He gave her a smile “Yeah
I know. But your still my little girl.” Angel said with a finger
pointed at her.
“Yes sir.” Ali said in
mock fear.
“Okay come on. Get up. I'm
gonna go check on your mother.” Angel said as they got up he
swatted her and then left to see Darla in her gown.
Ali went back to pacing
there was another knock on the door and she turned to see Connor come
in.
he was also in a tux. Black
with a white shirt and black tie a complete match of what her father
was wearing.
“Wow again.” Ali said.
Connor blushed “Yeah I
know. I look ridiculous don't rub it in. I'm only doing this for
you.” Connor said as he came over and hugged her.
“Scared?” Connor asked
knowing she was because he could feel her freaking out on the inside.
She smiled “Why does
everyone keeping asking me that like it's a bad thing? Wouldn't it be
worse if I wasn't nervous on my wedding day. I love him Connor.”
Ali said.
“I know you do. It's not
bad to be scared about getting married. Your a nervous wreck because
you love him and you want everything to be perfect.” Connor said.
Ali rolled her eyes “Thank
you my very own personal overly sensitive to my emotions twin
brother.” she said.
“Wow that was a mouth
full. I'm surprised you didn't chock on that one.” Connor said with
a laugh.
“There was no rehearsal or
anything.” Ali said.
“That would be because dad
had to travel to the past to get you and by the time he had gone the
rehearsal had been canceled. Oh I did what you asked me to do.”
Connor said suddenly excited at the end.
“Uh. Okay remind me
again?” Ali asked.
“You know. I got the CD
Burned with that song on it.” Connor said.
“ET? Really? YAY!” she
squealed and then threw her arms around him hugging him.
He hugged back while
laughing. “Dad's almost in pain over this you know. He keeps going
on and on about how your still his little girl.” Connor said.
“I know! Why can't he go
on and on about you like that?” Ali said.
“Uh. Because I'm not
daddy's little girl and thank you so much for that!” Connor said.
“Maybe not but your his
little boy. Right?” Ali asked.
“Oh god please no! I sure
hope not!” Connor said but with good humor.
“You are.” Ali said.
“Am not.” Connor said.
“Are two.” Ali countered
“D2!” Connor said
jokingly making a star wars reference.
Ali laughed saying are two
D2 was one way they ended a silly argument.
But Ali kinda wanted to
continue “you are.” she said again.
Connor jumped right back in
along with her “Am not!” he said.
Though neither of them were
really arguing.
Though to anyone else it
would look like they were.
Angel came in at this point.
“Are too!” Ali said.
“Am not!” Connor said
back.
“Really!?” they both
jumped and turned around when Angel raised his voice and said that.
“Do I want to know what
this is about?” Angel asked.
Ali giggled and Connor
looked at her “Don't you dare!” he said threateningly.
“Connor that's enough! Now
what did I walk in on?” Angel asked.
Connor sat down heavily in a
chair Ali giggled and said “You are too his little boy.” Ali said
which was enough for Angel to know what it was about.
He put his hands on his hips
“Let me get this strait. You two have been in here arguing about
something as stupid as weather or not Connor is my little boy?”
Angel asked slightly annoyed.
“We weren't REALLY arguing
daddy. I just thought that since I'm your little girl that Connor
should be your little boy and Connor slightly disagreed.” Ali said.
Angel shook his head “Again
that's not even worth discussing since you both are well aware of the
truth. And in case your not...........Yes Connor is my baby boy.”
Angel said Ali didn't know how he said that with a strait face
because she burst out laughing and Connor got so embarrassed that he
tried to hide his face in his hands “Oh my god! Dad!! Really?!!!”
Connor whined in a tone that stated his father really didn't need to
say that to his face!
“You got something to say
about that Baby boy?!” Angel asked in mock sternness still with a
strait face.
Connor groaned and when he
finally lifted his face from his hands he stared daggers at his
father as he said “No.” petulantly.
Angel said “Good. Now
there ceremony is gonna start soon you need to finish getting ready
Connor.” Angel said.
Connor got out and went back
to his dressing room to put his dress shoes on.
Ali put her dress shoes on
too.
Angel gave her a smile and
said “I'll be back for you in ten minutes. Then I'll escort you
down the isle.” Angel said and then left.
Ali paced for those ten
minutes and then Angel came in.
“They're playing your
song.” Angel said as the wedding march started.
Ali smiled and Angel came
over and Ali held onto his elbow and they started walking down the
stairs.
When they got to what was
being used as a chapel they barely started down the isle when Ali
tightened her grip on Angel's arms and she stopped Angel stopped with
her.
She couldn't bring herself
to look up from the floor.
She was too scared. She let
go of Angel and ran outside and she started to cry thinking Spike
would be mad at her now.
Angel whispered in Darla's
ear and then ran outside after the run away bride.
He spotted her crying and
pulled her into his arms “Hey now what's all this about? Huh?” he
asked gently.
“I can't do this! I want
to but I can't.” Ali cried.
“Why not? You love him
don't you?” Angel asked.
“Yes. But it wasn't me. I
have the memories but I didn't live them. I love him and I want to
marry him. But I feel like I'm not ready but I also feel like I am at
the same time.” Ali said upset.
Angel hugged her tight
“Everything's gonna be okay Ali. I promise. You love him. You know
it. I know it. He knows it. Honey do you realized that your the only
girl he's ever wanted to marry? He never thought about marriage
before he met you. So I know it's real for him. And it's real for
you. So what's stopping you?” Angel asked.
“If you want the truth
then it's worry.” Ali said.
“Worry about what?”
Angel asked.
“Drusilla.” Ali said
crying.
This completely lost Angel.
He couldn't be sympathetic anymore because he was completely
confused.
“What?” Angel asked as
if she was insane.
“They were together for
over a hundred years. What if she comes looking for him again?” Ali
asked.
“Okay. Insanity is a good
reason to stop a wedding. Is that what you want? Do you want us to
stop this wedding until your sanity comes back?” Angel asked.
“I'm not insane! Just look
at you and mom!” Ali said.
“That is completely
different!” Angel said.
“No it's not! When you
guys made me and Connor you didn't love each other. But she was your
lover once before and so neither of you had a problem being together.
You gonna tell me that you didn't still love Buffy when you screwed
around with mom?” Ali asked.
“Okay. I know what you
need.” Angel said then added sternly “stay right there!” then
he went inside going up the isle strait to the groom.
“What's wrong?” Spike
asked.
Angel leaned into and
whispered “Temporary insanity. She's scared that if Drusilla comes
back you'll go back to her.” Angel said and then stepped back.
Spike gave him a look of
'you have got to be kidding me'
“You might want to go talk
to her.” Angel said.
“Right.” Spike agreed
and then went outside to talk to his silly bride.
Ali was sitting on her
father's car when Spike approached her.
He came right up and pinned
her against the car and kissed her.
Then when his lips left hers
he looked her right in the eye and said “Of all the insane notions
you could have come up with today you had to pick that one?” Spike
asked.
“Well it is possible! She
could return.” Ali said.
“yeah and if she does I'll
stick a stake in her heart. Pet I stopped wanting Drusilla a long
time ago. When I started wanted Buffy Drusilla wasn't enough anymore.
And then when I met you Buffy wasn't enough either. Your it for me. I
don't want anyone else. Ever. My heart is yours. So don't start
worrying that someone else can take it. Specially not that crazy
bitch.” Spike said.
Ali had to admit that took
some of the fear away but she was still scared that maybe he would
get tired of her. “What if you get tired of me?” Ali asked.
Spike laughed “Tired of
you? I don't have a dull moment when I'm around you. I'll never have
time to get tired of you. Your too exciting. Listen to what I'm
telling you love. Your all I want. That's all that matters. Now come
on. We gotta go in there and get married and make it all official.”
Spike said.
But Ali stopped again “Wait.
Send daddy back out.”
“Okay. I'll see you at the
alter.” Spike said.
“I'll be the one in
white.” Ali smirked.
Spike went in and then Angel
came back out.
“Thanks daddy.” Ali said
hugging him.
“See? I told you I knew
what you needed. All brides are nervous on their wedding. And
unfortunately your brother is starting to mirror your nerves and if
he doesn't knock it off I am gonna have to turn this wedding X
rated.” Angel said.
“Why what's he doing?”
Ali asked.
“He keeps fidgeting. He
won't stay still. He's also chewing on his nails.” Angel said.
“Wow. And here I thought
we had cured him with that.” Ali said.
“We did. But he's getting
over freaked and it's cause he's picking up your vibes.” Angel
said.
“Okay well I'm better now
so he should calm down too.” Ali said taking his elbow again.
Angel took it slow as he
walked her down the isle she made it half way this time when she
stopped but this time she looked up at Spike who smiled encouragingly
at her.
She smiled back and they
started walking again her fears all gone now.
Arriving at the Alter Angel
pulled Ali in to kiss her on the forehead and then placed her hand in
Spike's and then stood back feeling Darla grab his arm tightly
pulling him back another step to where they were actually suppose to
stand.
There came the I do lines
and then Spike was told to kiss his bride. He did not need to be told
twice.
He pulled her in for a
passionate kiss and then picked her up off her feet in the classic
bridal fashion.
He turned still holding her
as they were announced and he carried her all the way to the ball
room.
Spike set her down and after
all the toasts came the dancing.
Connor had rigged the CD so
that it had the song ET on there twice.
Everyone paired up and
danced. Buffy and Dawn had both brought dates so they danced too.
The first song was ET and
everyone watched as the bride and groom danced.
Ali had her arms around
Spike's neck and his hands were on her waist as they danced to their
song.
Ali felt her body warming as
they danced.
When song two came on
everyone else got up to dance but Angel was the first to realize it
was the same song.
He turned and looked at his
son who smiled unrepentantly back at him.
Angel shook his head and
then turned to dance with Darla to the song.
Spike shook his head smiling
down at Ali “When you say jump he asks how high. Typical Connor.
Don't give me that look I know you asked him to do that.” Spike
said with a laugh Ali smiled guilty but also unrepentant.
However when song number
three was the same song Ali looked surprised.
And Angel hollered across
the floor at his son “Connor!”
Connor laughed they hadn't
noticed that he had put the song on repeat and that it was still the
first song.
Ali giggled “Wow. Nice one
Connor.” she said he saluted her and then Spike lifted her and spun
her around she tightened her arms around his neck when he did that
and squealed.
He set her down then looked
over at his new brother in law “Connor enough. Take it off repeat.”
Spike said.
“Oh come on!” Connor
said.
“Connor!” this Angel and
Darla yelled at the same time.
Connor decided to do as he
was told this time.
He took the song off repeat.
When song two came on and it
was a different song they were all relieved.
After three dances the
father daughter dance was announced.
And Angel came over to claim
the bride.
While Spike danced with
Darla.
It was a slow kind of song.
“Thanks daddy.” Ali
said.
Angel smiled “For what?”
he asked curious.
“For loving me. For always
be there for me.” Ali said.
Angel hugged her tight and
kissed her temple “You don't have to thank me for that baby. I'll
always love you and Connor. Course I did think that you'd be older
when you married and that Connor would marry first. He's never been
as secure as you are in how you feel.” Angel said.
“I know. Daddy I have to
tell you something.” Ali said.
“What?” Angel asked
still dancing.
“I changed the time line
when I went to the past.” Ali said.
“What do you mean? How did
you change it?” Angel asked.
“Didn't you ever wonder
why you never lost your soul again? Well it's because when I went
back in time I did a binding spell the night you and mom
were......Yeah and then when I said the spell to send me to the
future I guess I said the wrong spell cause it only sent me ahead 8
years. Then you came to get me and suddenly I was getting married to
Spike. In my time line Spike and I have just realized our feelings.
Buffy died and I became the slayer. And you became Angelus and I
didn't have what it takes to fight him. I had to back in time because
I couldn't dust Angelus. I didn't want to. Angelus captured me and
help me prisoner. Spike rescued me and that's when I chose to go back
in time and bind your soul so that you would never lose it again.”
Ali said and then realized they had stopped moving and her father
wasn't smiling anymore. In fact her looked mad.
He led her over to a corner
and pushed her against the wall “Why didn't you tell me this
before!!” Angel yelled not caring that he was being loud.
Everyone was now paying
attention to them. Spike got angry wondering what the hell Angel
thought he was doing shoving his bride around.
“I didn't know how to tell
you!” Ali said in her defense.
“Why didn't you dust
Angelus?” Angel asked which confused everyone that was listening.
“I couldn't do it!” Ali
said.
“Why?! He's Evil Alison!
You don't just let evil reign. Especially Angelus!” Angel yelled.
“You killed your father
because you didn't have a soul! But I do have a soul! And I couldn't
do it! I knew I could live with myself if I did! So I went back in
time and bound you soul so that you could never lose it! Why does
that matter now?” Ali screamed.
“Angelus isn't your
father! If you couldn't re en soul me then you should have dusted
Angelus. Not go travel trough time and space so that you can get your
own way!” Angel said.
“I didn't do it to get my
own way! I did it to help you! Before I left in my time Buffy was
dead! I was the slayer Connor got shot and you had to turn him into a
vampire to save him! I tried to kill myself before that! But in this
time line Buffy is alive and Connor is human. And I have been with
Spike for a year instead of only a week. I got the memories but I
didn't live them. I'm not the happy daddy's girl. I'm the rebel who
has too much power and doesn't always care about doing what's right.
I'm not a hero. I'm not you! I did the right thing and that's all
that matters to me.” Ali said.
“But that's just it
Alison. You have the memories but you didn't live them. You've been
with Spike for a week. You might really love him but your not ready
for marriage after only a week of knowing someone. Now you freaking
out like you did makes sense to me. You didn't feel ready because you
weren't ready. But because of your memories you felt like you should
be ready. Did you marry him because you love him? Or because you were
afraid he would get upset if you canceled and asked him to wait?”
Angel asked.
“Both.” Ali said.
“Well at least your being
honest now.” Angel said.
“I didn't lie! I just
didn't tell you about my time. Because it didn't matter anymore.”
Ali said.
“It matters to me. From
what you've told me you've been through hell. And Angelus along with
it. It took you twice as long to manipulate time then it would have
if you had just done the right thing.” Angel said.
“Going back in time was
worth it! And who says that killing Angelus would have been the right
thing to do?” Ali commented and then saw everyone put their hand in
the air.
That annoyed her.
“Okay just because all of
you are more then willing to kill Angelus doesn't mean that I wanted
to. It was too hard.” Ali said.
“Why?!” Angel asked.
Then Ali thought of what
Spike had said in her time.
She sighed “Maybe Spike
was right. No amount of training was gonna help because I was never
gonna get anywhere until I could see past your face. I wasn't even
willing to try. I wouldn't even consider dusting Angelus. And that's
how I know I couldn't have done it. It would have been too horrible.”
Ali said.
“Look I understand what
you did. And I'm grateful. But it was still the wrong thing to do.
Buffy was my lover and she was willing to do it.” Angel said.
“Don't compare me to her!
I am not her! She was the reason you lost your soul! She had no right
to sacrifice you! And if she had truly loved you then she wouldn't
have been able to.” Ali said.
“She did love me. But
there was something bigger then us. All the innocent people that were
gonna get hurt. So she made a choice. Destroy one to save billions.
And that's how it should be. She did the right thing.” Angel said.
“If that's what she has to
tell herself so she can sleep at night then fine. Whatever. But like
I said before...I'm not like you guys. I'm selfish. I'm not willing
to lose everything that I care about. You wanna know how Connor got
hurt? You guys took off to help Buffy and I got hit by a car. The
woman thought I was a witch. Connor and I had to hide in the hotel
like rats because they showed up with guns. Those so called innocent
people that you think are so helpless and worth saving they shot your
son! They shot him! He was dying! There was nothing anyone could do
to help him!” Ali said crying now.
“He was fading so fast. I
could feel him inside me. Fading. I took him to the hospital. And he
died! He died! On the table in front on me! My own brother! Because
they found out we were different and shot him! So you know what I
did? I used my powers! I killed them all! I burned them to a cinder!
And then I walked for miles and miles with his blood all over me!”
Ali screamed
“And when I got there and
told you what happened you went back in time two hours and made it in
time to turn him. I didn't remember any of that until time caught up
with us. And that's when I remember that he actually died and I could
still feel it. I still can feel it! When he was gone and the monitor
flat lined and they couldn't do anything to save him. Why should I go
out of my way to save them! Why should I have to lose my father! I
had already lost my brother. Connor was killed because I exposed us.
And after they killed him I decided that I wasn't gonna be you. I
wasn't going to have a life where I gave up everything simply because
I had no choice. And because it was supposedly the right thing to do.
If killing Angelus was the right thing to do then why did the very
thought of it feel wrong?” Ali said and wiped her eyes.
Angel had backed up from her
and stood stunned after hearing everything just like everyone else.
He understood everything
now.
But now he wished that he
didn't know.
Connor felt sorry for his
sister and angry at his dad for making her lose it. But he could also
tell that she had needed to lose it. She had been through a major
trauma and she hadn't dealt with it. And she felt guilty for killing
the people even though it was all reversed she still remember doing
it and going through it.
“Ali.” Angel wasn't sure
what else to say. He had no response for what she had just said.
Ali hugged him and he held
her. “I'm not sorry. I could say I am but it would be a lie. I'm
not sorry I went back in time. Vampire Connor was cold on the inside
anyways.” Ali said trying to make light of it but no one seemed to
think the idea of Vampire Connor was funny.
They went back to dancing
dropping the subject for now.
Ali danced with Spike again
and then when it was all over everyone headed back to the hotel.
Buffy and her gang went back
to their own town.
To be
continued.............................
