Soul

RATING : A portion of this is NC - 17

 

++ Season 3 ++

It was a pretty busy night in the cemetery of Sunnydale. One came after Buffy one after another like a meteor shower. Buffy didn't mind though. She had a lot on her mind... What happened on Christmas.. Giles betraying her with that test and a lot other stuff.. like her mom putting her on the stake! A lot has happened.. sometimes she just doesn't want to think about those things. That's where the vamps come in handy. Possibly with each staked vampire a piece of the trouble in her life goes away. At least temporary.
 

She sometimes doubts how strong she really is. Sometimes she thinks she's at the top of the world..or at the bottom. Every now and then she feels guilty all over again about sending Angel to hell. . even though Angel tells her not to. . that she did what she had to do. Save the world again. Another vampire.. a big muscular vamp with tough, low voice.. just attacked her. Buffy was a little distracted in her thoughts as she waited for another vampire and that's when the big thing jumped her. He literally jumped right on her! She gave a little shout. She quickly regained her senses and said, "ok punkster it's time to send you with the rest of the dejenerate punk band members to the land of the dusted."
With that she gave a strong shove to the vamp that sent him flying so far it must have been 20 - 30 feet. "Wow, I'm getting better at this pushin you vamps around everynight. Of course that sucks for you. You won't be getting my blood. You poor baby."
She ran up the vamp.. punched it in the face. Then she threw it to the ground. "You know you guys are such a pain in the ass. You just don't know when to go away!" after she said that a stake was plunged into the vamps heart and it was nothing but dust."
 

Buffy decided that this night of slaying is over. Time to go home and relax .. get some beauty sleep.

Buffy wasn't the only Scooby member who was busy. Willow was up till midnight helping to find a spell for Angel. Angel had called her to find a spell that will make his soul permenant. Helping out Angel to do something that will make Buffy pretty happy for along time made her happy. She knew that Buffy went through a lot these last two years and wanted to do anything in her power to make things easier for her. Oh yeah one more tiny little detail.. she's at the library. Giles is helping her out too. Giles lifted his head from one of the books, removed his glasses, yawning he said, "Willow are you sure you don't want to go home and get some rest? These books will still be here tomorrow." He smiled.
The red head lifted her head from the books smiled saying, "Yeah I know, but I really want to help Angel. I want to find this spell as soon as possible."
Giles replied, "I understand you want to help Angel and make Buffy happy... but even if there is a spell to make his soul permenant it would most likely be very tricky. Actually I'm sure there is a spell for that. I remember reading in my watcher's diaries about a slayer and her vampire. It was about a chosen one who had lived passed her 18th birthday.. survived the test and a vampire who also had a soul like Angel. And they had performed a spell to make the vampire's soul permenant. It worked, but unfortunately they made with the smoochies thinking everything was alright and then the vampire turned on her."
"In the middle of..."
"Yes yes.. I believe so.. and then and then..." Giles said as quickly as possible.
"What? Giles.. what's wrong?" Willow hinted a little bit of concern in her voice.
"Well.. suddenly I think I just realized something about that story. That book I read it in. . . I don't think it was just a watcher's diary.. It looked like one.. " Giles babbled as he went in his room and took out a book ..standing in front of Willow he looked at the cover.
"Oh my god. I never looked at the title.."
"Giles tell me already" she continued turning the pages.
"I think this is a prophecy book. I think that story was about Buffy and Angel." Giles was almost certain.
"What? No that can't be let me see that book." Willow took the book and looked through it. It was a pretty big book. She got to the middle it where that perticular story Giles talked about was. "It's not about them."
Giles surprised, "It's not."
She smiled and said, "Look it's over here...on the top. See? The name of the slayer is Lucile. So nothing to worry about. "
Willow gave the book back to Giles and continued looking at hers. Hers eyes wondered around a little and focused on a nice, blue book. It had a silk book cover with a cross on it's cover. Willow was mesmerized by it. She pulled it over to her.. with care she opened it. Looked at the table of contents. There it was.."to make a vampires soul permenant. Giles I found it!" Willow flipped to the page it was on.
Giles relieved so he can go to bed soon, he said, "that's great. Just rip the page out.. you can look at it and we can do the spell tomorrow."
Willow a little shocked by that, "I'm not going to rip the page out. Giles look at this book. It's a beauty. Can I borrow it?"
He quickly said, "Sure. Borrow it for as long as you want. You should go home now and get some rest."
"Ok ..but do you think maybe you can give me a ride?"
"Oh yes of course." Giles and Willow got into the Giles mobile. That old yellow car. It's amazing it's still working. They arrived at her house. "Thanks" she said and went in her house. Sneaked in actually. Giles drove off. Willow placed the book on her desk. She started looking through it but in the middle of that she fell asleep.

* * *

The day at school after their classes Buffy, Xander and Willow are walking together towards the library. Buffy's wearing pink sweater and black leather pants. Willow had on a cute blue V-neck shirt that has a little kitty on it. Buffy was the first to say something, "Uh Willow...remind me again why you're taking me to the library. I thought you wanted to go the bronze."
Willow replied, "That'll come, but I saw Giles in the hall earlier and he wants you to go there."
"huh.. Ok. To library we go then."
They enter the library which is as usual not filled with anyone other then the Scooby Gang. In there Buffy saw Angel leaning against a book shelf and Giles looking through some books. Buffy sweetly said, "Hi Giles.. Angel. What's goin' on?"
Willow and Xander sat down next to Oz and Cordelia. While Giles answered, "Uh.. well there has been a few cases of Hackerd demons running around on the streets. Some people have been injured by them and some killed. They hide out at the Terriscotty crypt. "
Buffy replied, "uh huh........"
"and I would like you to go there now to kill them. "
Buffy said, "Right now. Can I go home to change first?" she smiled, "I'm just kidding. I'll go right away. I just gotta go home and get Mr. Pointy. See ya guys later." Why is Angel staying... what's really going on? She was almost out the door when she said, "Angel do you want to patrol....oh oops. Silly me. Just remembered. You're not too fond of sunlight." Ok...That was stupid of me.
Angel didn't think it was stupid of her to ask that. He thought it was cute. He loves everything about her. The mistakes she makes, the complaints and her jokes.... He said, "I would go with you if I could. I'll see you tonight around 8."
Buffy nodded yes, smile and walked out. She went home got her stake and hurried to the cemetary. Terriscotty ... interesting name. She entered the cemetary looking around for the crypt. Hopefully this won't take too long. A demon attacked her. From the picture Giles showed her she knew what it was. "Well, I guess this crypt you just slammed me into is the Terriscotty crypt. " She looked at the name. "Yep yes it is. Thanks for showing me the way. Now I'm going to kick your ass.

* * *

Willow said to the gang, "Ok.. those demons should Buffy busy for some time. Now everyone except Angel form a triangle. I will be at the peek. Xander and Cordelia you'll be leading up to the peek of the triangle. And Oz and Giles you guys are at the end." Everyone got in triangle. "Ok. Now Angel you lay down in the middle. Lay down on the blanket. Your head facing me." Angel layed down as she said. Willow sprinkled blue powder on him. Then she poured the green powder in a circle around the others. Willow got back in place. "Ok. Cordelia,Xander, Oz and Willow chant with me these words. Father of the sun. Father of Earth. Mother of Earth. Mother of the sun. One wish will be wished. Son of Zeus. Daughter of Demeter. One wish will be wished. You guys chant just this, Father of the sun. Father of Earth. Mother of Earth. Mother of the sun. Son of Zeus. Daughter of Demeter. One wish will be wished."
The others started chanting, "Father of the sun... One wish will be wished."
Willow and them chanted almost 3 hours when Willow signaled them to stop. Willow shouted, "Father of the sun. Mother of the Earth. God of my breathe. Grant me this wish. A vampire with soul who can experience no bliss. Grant him a permenant soul. Which will allow bliss. Perfect happiness. Icanta pitura malante!"

* * *

Buffy killed that first demon with ease. Then a second demon jumped out of the crypt. It punched her in the face. Buffy's head turned back at the speed the fist hit her. She lunged her arm at the demon's face. The hackerd demon grabbed her arm in the process and threw her.. her back hitting a grave stone. Buffy shouted, "AH!" She rolled off the stone. "That hurt. Now..... you'll pay." She got up stumbled a little bit. She ran up to the demon and spin-kicked it.

* * *

Angel screamed as Willow finished saying those words. It wasn't really a scream of pain. . but it wasn't a scream of joy. There was flash of light. Angel stopped screaming. Angel opened his eyes. Willow and the others starred at him. Angel slowly got up and said, "Did it work?"
Willow answered, "It must of. The book said we'd here a scream and see a flash of light. It had to of."
Angel said, "Good... I'm going to go to the cemetary to see if Buffy needs help." He walked out of the school. He entered the graveyard and heard screaming.
Buffy killed the demon, but another one jumped her. It was bigger. The demon got off her.. picked her up and slammed her onto grave stone even harder then the last demon. The stone cracked. Buffy screamed in agony,"Ahhhh! that's the second ....time!" Buffy tried to recover and get up, but it picked her up again and threw her against the crypt. "Oh!"
Angel ran and hurried to her side. Buffy slid down her butt smacking the ground. Angel grabbed the demon by the neck and twisted it. Angel gave Buffy his hand to help her get up. Another demon ran out of the crypt. It grabbed his neck. Angel grasped the demons hands and pulled the hands off him. Buffy regained her balance and stood up. Some blood dripped from her forhead. She touched the area and winced. Angel punched the demon.. kicked it and twisted it's neck. He went up to Buffy. "Are you ok?"
Buffy put her hand on her back. "Yeah I guess. I'm just not sure which hurts more. My back or my head."
Angel dabbed at the cut on her forhead with his sleave and kissed it."Let me take a look at your back?" Buffy turned towards the stone and bent a little for him. " Angel lifted the shirt a little. He gently touched her back which sent a pleasant chill up her spine. The wound was already starting to bruise around the scratched area.. which was a pretty deep scratch that was bleeding. "It's a pretty deep scratch. We should get it bandadged up. And your head." He pulls the shirt down over the cut.
Buffy turned around and looked into his eyes. They were very close. She doesn't know but she didn't expect to see him that close when she turned. "Ok.. should we go back to your place?"
Angel said, "Yeah it's closer."

* * *

Xander said to Cordy and the others, "Well.. that was a nice thankyou don't ya think?"
Cordelia replied, "Yeah very nice one."
Giles in Angel's defense, "Well.. I don't blame him. That spell.. was pretty intense. And I'm sure he's a little worried about Buffy."
Xander replied, "He wants in her pants."
Cordelia agreed, "Yeah. Well... nice working with ya I'm gonna go see if I can still find a date to the Bronze."
Xander said, "Goodluck."
Cordy fired back, "I won't need it. See since I stopped dating you I don't have back luck anymore."
Willow sweetly said, "Bye.. thanks for helping.
Cordelia left the building. Xander and Giles helped Willow clean up.

* * *

Buffy and Angel reached the mansion. Buffy sarcasticly said, "Well, that was fun."

Angel: Yeah ..it was.
Angel went into the bathroom and returned to the living room with bandages. Buffy sat down on the cozy couch. She turned to the side a bit. Angel sat down next to her. He placed the box on the table. Buffy pulled her shirt up a little. She held her forhead which still bleeding a little. Angel dabbed some rubbing alcohol on her back. She winced. In a soft voice he said, "Sorry."
Buffy: It's ok.
Angel wiped her wounded some more with a cloth. Then he placed a long bandange on her back and taped it on.

* * *

Willow and Xander walked to the Bronze together. The streats weren't very busy. Occasionally they saw a car drive by. There were a lot of couples on the streat.
Willow: I'm so glad I could help.
Xander: It really makes you happy..helping them.
Willow: Yeah. Buffy and Angel more then anything desserve some real happiness.
Xander: I guess you're right.
Willow (smiles): Of course I'm right.

Giles sat at home researching the spell they just did... He still can't believe there isn't a cetch. He continued reading the story about Lucile and her vampire. Looking for some hint of what might happen.
Cordelia sat at a table at the Bronze dressed in a blue tank and black short skirt waiting for a guy to walk up to her and ask her to dance.

* * *

Angel: There. You're back is all taken care of (smiles) Now let's bandage your head.
Buffy: That would....be nice.
He gently put a bandage on her forhead and kissed it.
Angel: I have something I want to tell you.
He put the stuff away.
Buffy: Go ahead.
She turned to face him.
Angel: It's about my soul..
Buffy: Yeah?
Angel: It's......permenant.
Buffy: What?
Angel: My soul is permenant. Willow and I recently looked for a spell to make my soul stay forever.. and she found it. So we did the spell. And it worked.
Buffy: You're sure though.. How can we know for sure?
Angel: Well, I guess we don't know for sure, but she said that everything went the way it should. I'm sorry we sent you after those demons. I just wanted it to be a surprise. I didn't think you'd get --
Buffy: Shh... I'm ok. I'll take Willow's word that it worked.
Angel: But we can't be sure. We don't have to make love tonight.
Buffy: Shh... Angel It's ok. I want to.
She looked into his eyes. They were full of love and desire. And so were Buffy's eyes. Her mouth watered for his toung to be in her mouth dancing with her toung. Angel put his hand on her cheek. Then he kissed it. Then they kissed each other on the mouth. Her toungue played with his. He pulled off her sweater and kissed her upper chest.
He gently picked her up and took her to the bedroom. He placed her on the bed. At the edge of the bed they st.. kissing. He kissed her satin covered breast. She removed his shirt and threw to the other side of the room. She kissed him some more. Then he kissed her neck. Almost licking it. She kissed his neck. She quickly unbuckled his belt and unbuttoned his pants.. He gladly helped. Then He removed her black pants. Smelling them in the process.
Angel: These smell good. (smiles)
Buffy: The real thing smells even better.
Angel: I bet it does.
Buffy moved back towards the pilllows. She lifted her legs apart for him. Angel spread them part a little more. He kissed her mouth and slowly kissed his way down to her sensitive area. He got up and pulled her underwear off. Now there was nothing left between them except her bra. He continued kissing the area. He sucked her juices .
Angel: You taste good.. beyond.. good.
Buffy was already panting. Angel took an unneeded breath for a second.
Angel: God... I love you
Buffy: I love. you too
Angel seperated himself from her and moved to her bra. Buffy arched her back for Angel to get his hands around her. He unstrapped it. He gently took it off her arms and dropped it on the floor. He stared at her breasts moving up and down.. panting. He loves how magnificnt they are. He sucked on one. Kissed it. Fondled it with his thumbs. He did the same to the other. Kissed her belly. Then he kissed her mouth. Their tongues played some more. As they play his hand played sacrid spot. He inserted two fingers. He continued kissing her. He gently pushed his finger deeper inside her.
Angel: Do you like that?
Buffy: Yeah.. but.. I want you inside me. I want you now.
Angel: OK.. I'm coming.
He lined himself up with her. He pushed himself inside her. Buffy took him in deeper. He gently but quickly pushed in and out of her. Buffy screamed with pleasure. Soon they both had an orgasm together. They both screamed with pleasure.
Angel: AAHHH!!
That defenately wasn't a scream of pleasure. It was pain.
Buffy: Angel? What's wrong are you ok?
She started getting worried.
Angel: No! ..... Buffy..
She lay on top of him very scared.
Angel: Go!
Buffy: What? Why?! Angel?! What's wrong?
Angel: Ah!
It started raining and thundering outside. Xander and Willow hurried into the Bronze.. and saw Cordy sitting alone.
Angel: Hey Buff! I'm back! (laughs)
Buffy: Angel? ( Her voice was very light and shaky )
Angel: (still inside her He moved his lips closer to her face) No .. no no no.. Name's Angelus. How could you forget.. Oh .. I see. You and the soul boy got a little busy ( Buffy's eyes started to tear up ) I thought you learned your lesson. Oh wait.. let me guess. (licks her cheek) Hehe! He said his soul was permenant. Or at least he thought it was. Hmph! Well.. thankyou.. for setting me free.
Buffy: Angel.. .. (she cried)
Angelus (shook her hard- Buffy gave out a little shriek): It's Angelus you little bitch! Don't you ever listen to me?!
Buffy: Stop (even more shaky)
Angelus: NO! .... hmm.. Now i'm guessing you were in the middle of it. Let me be the one to finish his job.
Buffy: Get away from me. (she tried to get out from under his grip. But he held her arms too tightly)
He jammed himself in and out of her. (merciless)
Buffy screamed in pain and pleasure.
Buffy: STOP!
Angel: I don't feel like it. I've always wanted a sex puppet.
Then he sucked on her breast. He nibbled at it. as he squeezed the other one. Then he moved his finger inside her. Poked in and out. Thn he inserted hiself again. He went in and out like jackhammer.
Angelus: God I love this!
Buffy sobbed on. . feeling helpless and hurt physically and mentally.
Angelus.. continued his evil actions and began to drink her. He sucked on her neck. Taking as much blood as he wanted. She slowly started to lose contiousness. Before she did he stopped. He left her as she was and got dressed in leather pants and a maroon colored silky shirt. He stuffed her bra in his pocket. He went to the Bronze.
Buffy slowly got dressed. Very weakined.. she tried to make it to the door. But collapsed.

* * *

Willow: Hey.. There's Angel.
Xander: Yeah.. In different clothes.
Angelus walked up to them smiling.
Xander: Hey dead boy. Whatcha been up to.
Angelus: Wrong. I'm verymuch alive. :: one of those bugsbunny kisses on the lips :: Very alive!
Willow: Angel are you ok?
Angelus: Oh.....sweet Willow . You are so nice. I'm fine. Thanks to you I'm back.
Willow: What?
Oz walked up to Willow.
Angelus: Oz o boy. How've you been doin?
Oz: good. Man are you ok?
Angelus: Why does everyone ask me that! I'm grrrrreat!
Willow: Where's Buffy?
Angelus: Oh ..her . Yeah she's back at the mansion. She's probably dead by now. But hey it's never too late I guess.
Willow and the others ran out of the Bronze and headed to the mansion. They go inside.
Willow (tears): Oh my god Buffy!
Xander: Oh no......
Oz: let's get her in my van..
Xander: I hope the doctor can help her.
They rush into the hospital. She's given a blood transfusian. But she's unconcious for a couple of hours. Soon she wakes up after she has a horrible nightmare about what happened. She got dressed. She went out to the hall where Giles and the others sat.
Giles: Buffy.. are you sure should be out of bed..
Buffy: Restore Angel's soul again. Please.
Xander: Buffy are you crazy. Just kill him.
Buffy (tears stream down her face and looks at Xander): It wasn't his fault. You guys said it worked.
Xander: OH Now don't blame it on us!
Buffy: Don't blame it on me! I can't take this now.
Xander: Maybe you're gonna have to
Buffy: You don't have any idea what just happened to me! Right now I don't need (crying) your ridiculing/critisizing.. comments. Because right now I have other problems to deal with.... ones.. that I don't .. want to or can't.. (gets down on her knees) I can't take anymore right now. Just please... please don't make this any harder for me then it already is.
Xander: Why because a little bit after the smoochies you too got dressed. . you thought he was good. . about to head to the Bronze.. and Angelus decides he doesn't want you to come so he sucks your..blood. What more is there to understand?
Buffy: Oh right.. just because you find me dressed with my blood drank.. that means he did nothing else to me. (sobbing) He turned right before we finished. Angelus didn't stop where Angel and I left off. I think that's all I need to say!
Willow quickly went to her side.
Willow: Oh Buffy! (she hugged her and helped her up) I'll do the spell.
Cordelia: I never thought I'd say this.. but I feel bad for her. No one disserves that done to them.

* * *

Buffy: Ok... I'm gonna knock Angelus unconscous and I'll tie him up. That should give you enough time to do the spell.
Willow: Ok.
They had everything ready. Everyone sat on the floor. Buffy left the building. And as she thought he was at the mansion. Lying down on the bed waiting for her.
Buffy: Angelus.
Angelus: So Buff.. you've come for more..
Buffy: Not exactly.
Angelus: Ooh?
He got up and walked up to her. He pushed her hair back. And wispered into her ear, "you know.. I usually get what I want. Right now.. I want you."
Buffy: Sorry. I'm not for sale.
Buffy punched him in the face.
Angelus: Oh! SO you wanna fight! Ok..let's fight! Buff.
Buffy: Pretty soon you're not gonna know what hit you.
Angelus: Come on. Let's jump in bed. I'll give you another chance that you don't really suck. Cause.. let me tell you.. You really sucked.
Buffy: I'm so hurt!
She kicked him. The exchanged fists and kicks. Finally when he was on the ground. She knocked him out with an antigue lamp. She locked him in the chains and tied his hands to the chains to make sure he couldn't escape.
Angelus awoke a little groggy. Deep inside Angel was there. Buffy brushed her hand lovingly over his cheek.
Buffy: I love you. (she french kissed him - Angelus spit)
Angelus: Uh.. yuck! Germs of love.
Buffy (tears): I'm leaving Sunnydale. But I'll be back. I promise. Just remember ... I'll always be your girl.
Buffy left the mansion. Went back to her house and packed.. again. And left her mom a note.

* * *

Willow started doing the spell.
Willow: Acume!
Willow: Acume!! (then she snapped out of it)
Oz: I'm assuming it worked again.
Willow: Yeah.. I think it did. (she hugged Oz)

* * *

Angel's eyes glowed and yelled.
Angel: Buffy! (tears)
Willow and the others went to the mansion.
Willow: Angel?
Angel: Where's Buffy?
Willow: She...
Angel: Left......(he looked down deeply saddened)
Willow: Again... (a tear came down her face) She'll be back. She just needs alone time.
Angel: She will.... she told me so.
Xander: Your soul was restored before she left? (he untied him)
Angel(slid to the ground): No... but deep inside.. I could hear her.
 

**4 MONTHS GO BY**

Angel still sad because Buffy isn't in Sunnydale and because of what Angelus did to her. So one night he walked to Willow's house. Knocked on the door and she answered. Almost everynight he went to her house to ask if Buffy called.
Willow: Angel... how are you?
Angel: I've been better. Did you get a call from Buffy yet?
Willow: No..... I'm sorry.
Angel: It's ok. Can you do me a favor?
Willow: Sure. Anything.
Angel: I've been looking through some books for a spell. I found one...to restore my humanity. Can you do-
Willow: Yes.
Angel: You will ?!
Willow: Yes.
Angel: Tonight?!
Willow: Ok. . come in. Let me see the spell.
She had all the materials. They went to the basement to do the spell. She called the others over. Everyone gathered in a circle.
Willow: now each take one feather. (passed around brown feathers) You guys don't have to do anything. When I say Bithanica you raise your feather and drop it.
Willow( smiles) : Ok. . Here we go! Iscante mignate so li pinta si. Bisca nash tu vian terra shush Bithanica. Iscante mignate so li so via bathine!
Everyone threw the feathers. There was a big flash and low voices started chanting Bithanica and Bathine. The voices stopped. Angel is human.
The next day Buffy returned. She went to her mom's house and knocked on the door. It opened. Angel stood back out of the way.
Joyce: Buffy! (they hugged) You're back.
Buffy: Yeah. For good.
Joyce: But you're not staying here.
Buffy: What?! (her eyes began to tear)
Joyce: You're not staying here. You survived on your own in a strange town. . again! Didn't tell where you went.. And now you expect that this time I'm going to let you live here! NO!.. You can get your own place.
Buffy: Mom...
Joyce: When you have your own place you can visit any time you like.
With that she shut the door. Buffy stood there for a second crying. She put her hand to her mouth. She wiped her tears .. grabbed her sports bag and walk away. She stopped at a bench, took out a piece of paper and wrote a note to Angel.

Dear Angel,
I came back. I missed you a lot. I'm very sorry I didn't call you. I don't have a place to stay. And I'd ask to stay with you but.... I can't. I can't stay. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I'll be at the train station. My train leaves in a few hours. This time when i get back to the hotel. I'll give you a call..
I love you..
Always Your Girl,
Buffy.

She went to the mansion and placed the note on Angel's bed. She went to the station. Angel went to the coffee place to think if she should approach her. If she's ready. He went back to his place.. to his bed to take a nap. He saw the envelope. He opened it. Read it.. His heart melted.... "Always Your Girl." Two hours had gone by before he read the letter. He ran to the station. And saw her standing online. Waiting to get on the train (outside.) She turned sensing him. He ran to her... rapped her arms around her and they kissed passionately. Tears filled both their eyes.
Angel: Buffy... please .. don't go! Don't leave me. You can stay with me. I love you. I can't bare to lose you again.
Buffy: I don't know if I'm ready.
Angel: Please. (his nose touched hers)
She smiled with joy.
Buffy: Ok. I won't. But.... how... you're alive!
Angel: Yeah! (smiled)
They kissed again.
Angel: Let's go back to my place. You look like you need some rest. I'll make you tea.. brownies...whatever you want.
Buffy: heh.. ok.

They kissed again. He picked her up and carried her all the way to their home. And lived happily ever after!!!!!!!
