Chapter seven


The brunette and blonde opened the door to the Magic Box and walked in, carefully making their way through the rubble laying about the store. The two looked around in disbelief with what they saw… it no longer looked like the place that had become research central for the Scooby's.

"Hey, Anya."

"Yeah, hi." Was her curt response as she looked over the plans for the rebuilding.

"Wow! Look at the place!" Xander said, causing Anya's head to shoot up and glare at him.

"I don't need any reminders from you, Xander Harris. Look at my store; it's a mess because of your little friend. If she had of let me take care of the vengeance like she should have, my livelihood would still be here. But nooooo. She had to go and do it herself, and look what happened!"

"I'm sorry. It's just that I left before Willow did all this, and this is the first time I've been back in since."

"Yeah, I know. Buffy had you saving two little geeks who rightfully deserved to die."

"No one deserves to die, Anya." Buffy interjected.

"You know, Buffy, I really hate that self-righteous crap you like spewing out to everyone."

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me. I've seen more evil in this world than you could possibly conceive of, and let me tell you; it wasn't demons or vampires that caused it… it was humans. That's right, human beings." She sighed, "You know, in all of my existence, I have never met a demon that would willingly harm its own kind-let alone kill it. The human race is the only one that would murder its own species just for the fun of it." She finished as Buffy and Xander stood there, not quite knowing what to say. "Demons-humans; they both live here. In fact, demons were here first, long before humans ever were. So what gives you the right to decide only demons should die?"

"Anya, we didn't come here to debate `right and wrong' with you. We wanted to see how you were doing since we haven't seen you in a while."

"That's because I've been busy trying to clean up some of this mess." She replied. "Without anybody's help, of course. By the way, this is the cleaned up version. Some of my supplies managed to escape the damage, so I put them in the basement."

"Sorry about that. Hey, have you heard?" Xander said as he tried to change the subject. "Willow and Giles are now…"

"Wonderful." She replied sarcastically, "When does she plan on the next Armageddon so I can pencil it into my schedule book?"

"Anya, are you okay? You seem more edgy than usual." Buffy asked.

"No, no I'm not okay. I didn't sleep well last night; I had the most horrible nightmare."

"You wanna tell us about it? Might make you feel better." Xander said, both dreading what they were about to hear.


~Anya's Dream~


The sky was the most beautiful shade of blue, and not a single cloud floated by to block the view. Anya sighed happily as a dark- haired, very muscular man handed her a pina colada and another well- built blonde fed her grapes.

She looked around at the other twenty-eight men sitting around her, waiting to do anything she asked of them, and thought… `Life can't get any better than this.' Then looked down beside her into a huge silver bowl filled to the top with money of every denomination, and rare coins; she couldn't help the giggle that escaped her lips.

"Hey, Anya." She snapped her head in the direction of the greeting to see Xander walking towards her. "Watcha doing?"

"Xander! What the hell are you doing here?"

"What do you think I'm doing here? I came to see you. I wanted to apologize for treating you so badly, it was wrong of me and I wanted to make it up to you. How about forgiving me and taking me back?"

"Are you nuts!?"

"Yes, I'm nuts… nuts about you. Nothing has been right since you and I broke up." He replied.

"Your crazy if you think I want to be with you again. And as much as I can't believe I'm saying this; there is no amount of money on this planet that could make me take you back!" she said, and watched with a smile as Xander pouted. Her smile faded, however, as she looked a little more closely at his face. "Your nose is twitching. Why is your nose twitching?"

"Anya, please take me back. I want to introduce you to the rest of my family."

"I've already met more than enough of your family, and frankly, I'd like to forget the entire ordeal if you don't mind."

"Oh look! Its my Aunt Cathy." He said, and Anya turned to see a white rabbit hopping it's way to them.

"Arrrgh! Xander, keep that evil creature away from me!" she shrieked.

"Aunt Cathy, I'd like you to meet Anya. She's the woman I'm going to marry."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, my dear. And might I add, welcome to the family." Replied the rabbit as Anya's eyes widened in shock.

"Its possessed! I told you they were evil!" she said, then looked to Xander and screamed. There he stood with two large white ears, elongated front teeth, whiskers and a rabbits face, and fur everywhere that wasn't hidden by clothing.

"What's up, my love?" asked Xander as he held a carrot up to his mouth and began munching on it. An uncomfortable look crossed Xander's face as he began to shift from one foot to the other. Finally he leaned forward just a little and placed his hands on his buttocks, and pulled on the material until it ripped. A small white fluffy tail popped out as the young man sighed and said, "Ahhh, that's much better."

"S-stay away from me!" and she began backing away. As she looked around nervously trying to decide which way to run, she noticed that instead of being surrounded by men, she was surrounded by little white creatures with fluffy faces and twitching noses.

The terrified young woman turned and ran, arms flailing in every direction.

"Honey! Hey, wait for me!" Yelled the young man as he hopped after her, still chewing on his carrot.

Buffy and Xander looked to each other in total disbelief. It wasn't exactly the dream they were expecting to hear, and they really wished they hadn't' asked.

"Ahh, your right… I do feel better." Buffy just rolled her eyes and heard Xander groan.

"I'm so glad we could help there, Anya. But I'm afraid we gotta get going." Said the slayer as she and the brunette made their way to the door as Giles entered.

"Good morning, Anya. And how are we feeling this morning?" he asked. "Oh, hello Buffy, Xander. What are you two doing here?"

"Nothing… just thought we'd check in on Anya since we haven't seen her around for a while. Well, we gotta get going. See you guys later." They said, and immediately left.

"I'm feeling great, Giles." Said a very chipper vengeance demon.

"Wonderful. Shall we go over the plans then?"

"You read my mind."
