Summary: Buffy accidently makes a wish, but it turns out for the better.

(Feedback is welcome)


Buffy watched in horror as Caleb destroyed one of Xanders eyes before she could get him away. She looked down at Xander before looking at Caleb, with fire in her eyes she rose to her feet and stalked towards Caleb.

"You asshole!" Buffy shouts. "I'll kill you for that!!!"

She charges Caleb and backs him against the wall, punching faster and harder that she had when she fought ADAM for the last time. Caleb was terrified as he tried to keep her at bay. Finally, one of her punches got through and peirced Calebs chest. She grinned as she wrapped her small hand around it and ripped it out viciously.

"Die!" She screamed.

Caleb crumbled to the floor, his eyes glazing. Buffy swung her arm hard and fast flinging the blood of it and onto the floor.

"Xander!" Buffy yelled, running to his side. Buffy was oblivious to the SiT's and fellow Scoobs around her. "Oh Xander, no!" She sobbed into his chest.

"Hey, it's okay." A soft voice said as a hand brushed away her tears. "I'll be fine Buff, you'll see."

"Damn it, Xander! No it won't! Why the hell does it take things like this happening for me to realize how i feel?" Buffy sobbed into Xanders chest as he held her. He thanked Willow wordlessly as she bandaged his eye. "Why couldn't I have known then I'd feel this way about you? I wish I knew then what i know now." She vaguely heard a gasp then someone saying "Done!" Before her world went white.

*****

In temporal limbo a wish granting demon was fuming. "Damn it!" IT yelled. "I've got to keep her from knowing about the deaths and stuff she can't prevent otherwise it will destroy her."

It chanted a quick spell and teleported out. "See ya in a few years Buffy."

*****

"Ooh my head!" Buffy said upon bumping heads with another student. Her stuff fell from her hands and scattered on the floor.

"Sorry," The bumper said before bending down to clean up the mess he caused. He looked up and saw Buffy for the first time. "Can I have you?"

Buffy stared in shock. Xander! Xander with both eyes! Xander that she should have noticed beforehand. She was snapped out of it by Xander snapping his fingers. "Yes." She said happily.

Xander stared in shock before picking the last of her things up. He extended an elbow which Buffy looped her arm through.

The demon watched as the two teens walked away together. It laughed merrily before teleporting out.

"Go for it you two!" Echoed through the halls long after the demon had left.
