Summery: Willow's struggle to catch her plane.
< > Indicates thoughts.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Willow sat in the taxi stuck in the traffic. She was in New York and was headed to the airport to catch a flight back to Sunnydale. She was to be the maid of honour at Buffy and Angel's wedding and she didn't want to be late. Tapping her foot impatiently she turned to the driver.
"Don't you know a short cut or something." She said
"Fraid not" The driver said
Sighing Willow looked at her watch for the 10th time in as many minutes.
<I don't have time for this. > She thought. <I'm going to miss my flight. >
"Any idea how long we're going to be stuck here?" She said exasperated.
"Oh, another half hour at least." Said the driver offhandedly.
"Okay, just let me out here. How much do I owe you?"
"$10.80" said the driver as Willow got out the taxi.
"Here" Willow said handing him a twenty. "Keep the change."
And with that Willow ran across the road and headed in the direction of the airport.
Rushing past the people in the street Willow turned into the road leading to the airport and spotted the main building. Rushing through the revolving doors Willow checked in and headed for the gate her plane was to depart from.
Willow dodged past the people staring at her and was almost at her gate when she tripped on a luggage trolley and went crashing to the ground. She pulled herself off the ground and was about to start running again when a stabbing pain in her ankle stopped her. Looking down at her foot she realized she must have twisted her ankle in the fall. Realizing she wouldn't get very far in her current condition Willow was about to ask for help when a strong pair of arms swept her up and started heading for her departing gate.
Looking up at her saviour Willow was shocked to see Angel. He looked down at her and smiled.
"What are you doing here? Why are you here? Why aren't you in Sunnydale getting ready for the wedding?"
"Well, we couldn't very well have the maid of honour showing up late now could we?"
"But how and why did you get here?"
"I have my ways." Angel said cryptically.
Willow was going to say something else when she noticed they were heading outside. Into the sun.
"Angel, the sun!" Willow said panicking.
"Don't worry about it." With that he burst out the doors and into the sun heading for her plane.
"Angel, get inside! You're going to go poof!"
"No I'm not." Angel said.
"Yes you are and I'll fall down and make my ankle worse!" Willow wailed.
"I said I won't" Angel said exasperated.
"But how, I don't get it!"
"Because you cast that spell that allowed me to go out in the daylight remember?" Angel said as if talking to a child.
"Oh, yeah." Willow said embarrassed.
"Here's you plane Willow." Angel said putting Willow down. "Your foot should be better soon."
"Thanks....Angel?" But it was too late, he had already gone. "I hate it when he does that."
Willow then proceeded to get on the plane and head for Sunnydale.
The Wedding
Willow walked up the aisle and looked over to Angel. He looked totally hot in his unique choice of wedding clothes. Tight leather pants and red velvet shirt.
<Man he looks hot! > Willow though.
"Hey, do you think you could move over!" Buffy said pushing Willow out the way. Buffy looked over at Angel and batted her eyelashes at him.
Angel gulped. He looked from Buffy, who looked like a tart in her short pink mini wedding dress, to Willow who looked totally gorgeous in her white gown. Looking back and forth between the two he realized he was in love with Willow not Buffy.
Making his mind up Angel turned to Buffy. "Buffy, I can't marry you. I'm sorry but your nothing but a selfish bitch who thinks only of herself, god knows why I didn't see it before."
With that he pushed past Buffy and took Willow in his arms and stared deep into her eyes.
"Willow, I love you. Marry me?"
Willow looked up at Angel and realized she felt the same. "I love you too Angel. Of course I'll marry you!"
The church bust into spontaneous applause. With that they proceeded to get married while Buffy stormed off and got hooked up with someone more to her suiting, one of her own low level. They called him Xander. They were never heard from again.
Willow and Angel on the other hand lived happy ever after in a Buffy and Xander free zone.
The End
