I Wish I May, I Wish I Might

[spuffycrusade83]

It all started as a joke. Buffy had laughed at herself when she wished she was Drusilla. Forgetting about Anya, she boldy stated, "Star light star bright I wish I may I wish I might. How I wish I wish tonight." "I wish, just for one day, I can be Angel's victim!"

It got crazy. The room started spinning, the clock on the wall flew off and hit the coffee table, papers went galore, and suddenly everything went black.

There was only one person responsible.

"DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nothing around her made sense. People in carriages, cobblestone streets, Victorian houses............. It's all like a dream.............

An old crumpled up paper blew into her face and she grabbed for it.

It read:

July 10, 1879, London Times
The time is 6:30 in the morning so wake up early birds!

'What the hell? SOOOOO not what I wanted!'

"O.k. Anyanka, joke's over, you can stop playing now!!!!!!!!"

Suddenly, she remembers her wish. It was, plain and simple, "I wish I can spend a day as Drusilla!"

Well, not exactly the same words but close enough...........

"Geez, it was a joke!!!!!!!!!"

'Someone wake me up from this nightmare!'

She was in the middle of London, with no relation to the place. Or people..............

"Excuse me Miss, are you lost............?"

Buffy/Dru: Huh, what!?!

"I SAID, are. you. lost?"

Buffy: Yes, do you think you can help me?

Henry Giles: Course, just follow me mam............!

Henry: Right this way, watch your steps.

"William, get down ere' and help her!"

[spuffycrusade83]

Buffy: Wait, you don't mean William the Bloody do you?

'And Giles, what's that all about?'

'I've got to get out of here!'

Henry: That is very rude young lady!

"Yes, indeed it is............."

They both turn to the shy poet standing there listening to their conversation.

"Do you mind telling me why you called me that god awful name?"

'It's just another reminder of that dreaded Charleston Miorson!'

'What a debacle that was!'

Buffy: I'm sorry, I didn't mean any harm by it!

'Spike, with glasses!?!' Oh, he is SOOOOO going to get it!'

"Yes, will you kindly explain.............?"

[spuffycrusade83]

Buffy quickly thought of a lie, "That's what they say on the streets. That you're William the Bloody because of your poetry."

William sighed and rubbed at his forehead, people say these things because they're vulgerians. They never appreciated his poetry, said it was bloody awful. That's how they came up with the name.

To laugh at him and to humiliate him.

Henry: Are you alright, my boy..................?

"Mm fine Uncle."

[spuffycrusade83]

After her explanation, all three of them sat in silence, contemplating their next move.

'It's for only a day right!?!'

'For your sake Anya!'

Henry: I find your story very had to believe!

'This I'm going to have to do MAJOR body damage!'

She faked a smile before excusing herself.

"Excuse me, I need some air.............."

William: Odd one she is.................

Henry: Got to admit, the girl's got fire. I like her!

'Uncle, you like every girl. Although............................'

Aunt Paulene: I hope you tell that Cecily to get! She's just a very crude person!

She felt her link to Angel sever and eventually break off. It was the aftermath of the wish. Apparently, magic can break all ties including claims. She felt a little off her feet as the first process of cleansing began. When she reached the last step, another one started. This one played a different tune. Its tingles are different because she's bearing Drusilla's mark. Her mark never burned like this one did. It was the call of a sire and a mate. Buffy felt it as she revelled in the desire passing through her. It made her face shift in response to Angel's call. Drusilla's "daddy..........."
