Part II: Anxiety Attack
Angel was pacing back and forth, as Giles looked on in concern.
"What if something goes wrong? Oh God, where's the ring?"
"Never fear, Xander's here!" the comic announced, holding up the jewelry box. Angel snatched it up, and checked inside to make sure the ring was still there.
"Hold still, Oz!" Willow scolded him, as she tried to put his right link on.
"Can't help it, Will," Oz said. " You know my wrists are sensitive, especially when *you* touch them."
Willow blushed, and said, in a low tone," That's sweet of you, Oz, but right now, we need to get this wedding going."
"Okay," Oz agreed.
"There!" Willow said, smoothing the jacket sleeve of his tux. The two exchanged a small kiss before Willow exited the room.
"Angel, you're going to wear a hole in the rug!" Giles exclaimed, in exasperation.
"What if an earthquake hits before we can make our 'I do's? What if she changes her mind at the last minute?"
"Angel, Dead Boy, calm down," Xander said, trying to get him to focus on something other than the impending nuptials. All he got was a glare, and more pacing.
"Damn it, man! Get a hold of yourself!" With that, Giles grabbed Angel by the shoulders, forcing the astonished groom to stand still.
"Look at me, Angel. If I was able to go through my wedding with Joyce two years ago, you should be able to marry Buffy quite easily."
"It's easy for you to say," Angel fretted. " You're not the one bad fortune has its eye set on capturing."
Giles sighed, and thought,
"Come on, man, you can do this," Oz said, encouragingly, to Angel. " You've gone through so many changes in your life already. I mean, you became a vampire, got cursed with your soul, found love where and when you least expected it, lost your soul, regained it permanently, became a demi-god, and now you can't handle a simple wedding?" The slightly scornful note at the end was all Angel needed.
Taking in a deep, unneeded breath, he relaxed. Until he remembered one small detail.
"Where's Selena?"
"Not sure," Giles frowned.
"Oh man," Xander groaned, as he noticed something out of the corner of his eye.
"What is it?" Angel asked, anxiety taking hold once more.
"Uh, nothing, nothing," Xander said, quickly. " Just forgot to comb my hair." Using that excuse, he walked over to the mirror, cutting off the sight of two figures moving speedily down the hallway.
Suspicious, Angel thought, He felt the small twinge that always occurred when he sent or received thought-messages.
