Chapter #1 - Rewards
 
A/N: A BIG thank you to Morrigan and her lovely Beta, BlackNBlue2



He spied someone he knew as he walked into the comfortably furnished room.  "Hey DEADBOY, what are YOU doing here? This place is only for humans, not the evil undead."

As he flopped down into the soft chair, the object of his derision simply rolled his eyes and replied, "I was summoned here, much the same as you were Xander.  And don’t call me that."

The two of them sat, trading insults and petty remarks, for what seemed like hours, but was in reality only a few moments. At some point during all of this, a third person walked into the room. "Hey Xander! Long time no see. How are you doing?"  Completely ignoring Angel, he sat down next to Xander and proceeded to detail his life since he had left Sunnydale.

"Hi Riley, how’s it goin’ man? I'm sooo glad you are here. Talkin’ to the walkin’ dead is pretty boring."

Angel just shot both of the young men a broodful glare and went back to staring at the floor, while contemplating his upcoming reward.

Just then, a rather severe looking gentleman approached the small group. "As I call your name, please indicate who you are."

Alexander Lavelle Harris?"

Xander smiled and replied, "Yup, the Xan-man is in the building, no autographs please."

"Riley A. Finn?"

Riley leapt to his feet and responded, "Reporting as ordered, Sir."

"Sit down young man."

"Yes Sir."

"Liam O'Connor, also known as Angelus, also known as Angel?"

"I am here, thank you."

"Well gentlemen, as I am sure you have been informed, you were summoned here for a reward. Now, contrary to what you might be thinking, this is NOT your reward, nor will all 3 of you be receiving this reward."

"So, we are to what? Say grats to some weirdo and go home after wasting our time?" Asked Xander.

"Mr. Harris, if you'd be patient…”

"Did you just call me a weirdo, Xander? I can't believe you said that!!" As she passed behind Xander, Buffy smacked him lightly on the back of the head.

"OUCH! Sorry Buffster. Ohhh , so this is YOUR reward? COOL! About time!"

"If you would kindly pay attention . Thank You." The gentleman proceeded to explain that this was to reward Ms . Summers for her dedication to her duties as the 'Chosen One'. The reward was to be able to spend eternity in the arms of the man destined to be her eternal mate.

Angel - "I knew it, I knew she'd pick me, our love is forever, so naturally she'd pick me and asked you guys here to see us get married or something."

Xander - "Buffy, you mean you picked me? After all this time, you finally saw that I was the only one for you and you wanted to show these losers who you really love?!?!  YES!"

Riley - "It’s about time you came to your senses and realized what I mean to you Buffy.  After all, nobody will ever know you and love you the way I do.  I can even take over your slaying duties so you can stay home and be the little wife."

As all 3 men proceeded to talk over each other, getting louder and louder, a fourth man entered the room.  "Sorry I'm late, Luv.  Was just helpin’ the Nibblet with her homework." 

"That’s okay Spike, I knew you'd be here. I love you, and I want to spend eternity with you. Do you want me?"

"Oh Slayer, I've waited forever to hear you say that you love me. OF COURSE I want you. In fact...."

"Shut up Spike. Hey, Mr. Whedon, is there a room where me and my guy can be together? I choose HIM."

"Of course, Ms. Summers, Mr. Spike. Right thru here, I hope you will both be happy."

"Count on it mate. I'm gonna make the Slayer here scream my name for all of eternity!"

As he closed the door behind the couple, the other three suddenly stopped talking all at once, staring at the door, and then proceeded to yell, loudly. "NO WAY! She'd never want Deadboy Jr.!" "THAT’S SPIKE! Why would she choose Spike over me?" "I KNEW she was just a whore for the undead."

Just then, a loud scream could be heard from behind the closed door. "Oh YES, YES, SPIKE!!! FUCK ME!!! OH GOD YESS!"

As one, the three looked at each other and sighed. "Let’s go get a beer guys. And maybe back to my place for a little shagfest of our own. I’d rather be fucking you two anyway."
