New Lives

Back on a higher plane, Fred and Wesley were enjoying their time together. They had gotten together just before Fred died, so this was all new to them. They spent the next few days learning each other. They also began learning about the powers they had. If they went around the house, and looked into their fountain, they could see anywhere in the world. They liked to check on their friends, including all those who were now living in Rome. Cordelia and Doyle visited them often, so they were never lonely. “I wonder if Illyria will still chose to look like a girl, considering Illyria was a King,” Wesley said. “I think Illyria will stay a girl; he/she has felt the power that comes with being female,” Fred said with a large grin. “All right guys,” Cordelia said, appearing before them. “What’s up?” Fred asked. “It’s time for you guys to go back down to do those spells,” Cordelia said. “Is there anything that we need to know before we go down?” Wesley asked. “Well, just let them know that Cordy and I say hi,” Doyle said, appearing next to Cordelia. “Will do, we promise,” Wesley said with a smile. Cordelia and Doyle disappeared, and Wesley and Fred quickly followed suit.
They appeared in the main floor of the Hyperion, and found that Gunn, Spike, Angel, and Illyria were all sitting on the couch. “We were waiting for you. What took you so long?” Angel asked. “Got a little caught up in all the newness of it all,” Fred said with a shy smile. “So, have you decided on what you want to look like?” Fred asked Illyria. “Actually, I have. I like this female form, I would just like to change the eye color, hair color, length, and my height. I feel that these changes should be sufficient enough to keep these humans from looking at me in a strange manner,” Illyria said slowly. “Okay, can I chose the changes?” Fred asked. Illyria nodded, “I would not know what to chose; I leave it up to you.” Fred smiled, and closed her eyes. Suddenly, they could see a light envelop Illyria, making it hard to see. When the light receded, Illyria looked different. Instead of looking just like Fred, she looked like a close relative. Her hair, instead of being a dark brown, was bright red, and just brushed the top of her shoulders. Her eyes were now a bright green, and she now stood a little taller, at about 5'9". “Wow,” Gunn said. “Okay, now that we have that out of the way, let’s get to the big stuff,” Wesley said, looking pointedly at Angel and Spike. “How do we go about doing this?” Angel asked. “Wesley is going to do the spell to actually make you human, while I do the spell that will help you guys exist,” Fred said. “What do you mean?” Spike asked. “Well, technically, you guys don’t exist; you guys both died many, many years ago,” Fred said, “This spell that I do will fix that. I will give you guys last names, driver’s licenses, social security cards, and degrees from college, so that you guys can get jobs.” “Well, that makes sense,” Angel said. “Do we have a choice on anything?” Spike asked. Fred closed her eyes for a moment; “Nope. The Powers that Be get to chose.” “This will be interesting,” Gunn said with a grin.
They sat in the main entryway of the Hyperion. Gunn and Illyria sat on the couch. Angel and Spike stood in the middle of the room, standing back-to-back. Wesley stood facing them, and Fred sat on the floor a couple of feet away; both were getting ready to do their spells. Suddenly, a white light surrounded Angel and Spike. When the light receded, Angel and Spike both collapsed on the ground. “Guys, you need to breathe,” Gunn said. Angel and Spike both began to take deep breaths, and stood up. “Wow, that was intense,” Angel said. Fred walked over to them, and handed them envelopes. “Guys, these envelopes hold your new lives.” Angel and Spike each opened their envelopes. “Okay, I’m William Wyndam-Pryce. I hold a degree in English. I guess that works, considering I was an aspiring poet before my demise,” Spike said with a grin. Angel opened his envelope, and stared. “I am now . . . Angel Giles? I have my degree in history.” “Wait, you’re related to Giles, and I am related to Wesley. Is this the Powers showing us their weird sense of humor?” Spike asked. “I think so, but I also want to think that Cordelia had her hand in this,” Angel said. “Okay, well, our job is done. We will definitely be keeping our eyes on you,” Wesley said. Fred gave Angel, Spike, and Gunn kisses on the cheek, and embraced Illyria. Wesley just shook hands, then they both disappeared.
Back on the higher plane, Fred and Wesley had one more job to do. They went to their fountain, and found Giles, Willow, Buffy, Dawn, Faith, and Xander. Wesley touched the spot where Giles was standing, and saw a look of understanding form in his eyes. Fred touched the spot where Buffy stood, and saw the same look appear in her eyes. Fred and Wesley touched the rest of the gang, and saw them all get the message that Spike and Angel were human. They smiled, and then went inside the house to change for a swim in the lake. As they enjoyed the warm water, they could feel what was going on in Rome. “I have a son,” Giles said. “Huh?” Dawn asked. “I mean, I know that I don’t have a son, yet I have this incredible feeling that I have a son,” Giles said. “It’s Angel,” Buffy said quietly. “What?” Willow and Xander said in unison. “Angel and Spike have become human, and the Powers have made Angel Giles’ son,” Buffy said. “Whoa, that’s tight,” Faith said. “Yeah,” Dawn said. “He’s gonna come here,” Buffy said. “Are you going to be ready for that?” Willow asked. Buffy thought for a moment, and smiled.
