The courier arrives with a scribbled note:

Anya luv,

Happy Birthday.

May your day be filled with cheer, merriment, and very good sex.

I might be going out of town (but hopefully not leaving the dimension: do you know any anti portal charms?) so I don't know when I'll see you next. We're a bit past torture at this point, but I will keep to my part of the bargain. If I find a secret to Immortality, I'll pass it along asap.

In the meantime, may this help you count the hours.

Methos

Included is a stylish but simple white gold watch with diamonds tastefully marking where the 12, 3, 6 and 9 hands would be. There's a matching necklace and pair of earrings.

Anya squeals happily, putting watch, earrings and necklace on immediately with a grin.

She got sparklies. No one had ever gotten her sparklies besides her engagement ring and she wasn't going to think about that today.

She frowns a bit at the note, wondering what happened.

She should call. Anti-portal charms? That doesn't sound good. Nor does him leaving town.

Something happened.

She dials his cell.

He stares at the name displayed on his cell and greets her with, "Happy Birthday, you're going to yell, so why don't you call me back tomorrow and go enjoy your day?"

"You got me diamonds. I promise not to yell. What did you do?"

Her mercenary little heart is quite pleased with him. Besides, a night of amazing feel-better sex?

She vows not to yell, no matter what.

"Pet. Your a vengence demon at heart. I expect you already know."

"Oh. That," she sighs. "She found out?"

"I should have just killed Wesley in the first place."

He isn't whining. He's pouting.

"I offered," she says with a shrug. Okay, so she hadn't offered to do it for him. But for Fred. She still could.

She probably should give her a call.

Tomorrow. Comforting a weepy woman was not how she wanted to spend her day. She liked the girl. They were not best friends.

But she probably needed a place to live.

"Thank you for not yelling."

"Why would I yell? You didn't owe her anything. Not like you cheated on anyone," she says with a shrug. "Besides? Diamonds and amazing sex go a long way towards stopping any yelling I might be tempted to do on behalf of a girl who is a potential friend."

She holds her wrist up, admiring her watch.

Then on to far more interesting matters for her. "Buffy asked me to be a bridesmaid. She was my maid of honor."

"That's wonderful! Do you know what color she is going to pick? Blue would be lovely on you I am thinking."

"Blue is an amazing color on me," she says agreeably. "I made them wear green. I thought the dresses were lovely at the time, but looking back? I'm kind of scared as to what she's going to put me in for retribution."

"Oh my," Methos' heart really isn't in conversation, but he figures Anya can talk for both of them.

She sighs, sensing his disinterest. Her wedding isn't really her favorite topic of conversation either. But he needs cheering up. She bites her lip, trying to think of something appropriately cheering.

"Have you ever slept with twins?"

That is a cheering thought, "Oh yes."

Success. A lighter note in his voice. She grins, "It's quite an enlightening and entertaining experience."
