Sometimes Buffy wonders if she isn't in fact living in a fairy tale. Not the happily-ever-after kind, but the kind where the princess is always in distress. That's a fairy tale right? Sometimes she wonders when her prince will come...if he hasn't already. What's Angel if not her prince? Then again, maybe a prince isn't what she's looking for after all. Maybe she's waiting for her knight in shining armor, complete with a white stallion which he gracefully dismounts to present a bouquet of white lilies.
That's where the fairy tale always becomes muddied in her mind because, no matter how hard she fights it, whenever she pictures her knight in shining armor it's not so much armor as it is leather. And it's not so much a white stallion as it's a black motorcycle. And the white lilies replaced with a single rose with thorns still intact to represent all the damage they'd done to each other. And her knight? The only one who could ever rescue a princess who turns out to be a slayer.
Sometimes Buffy wonders if she isn't in fact living a fairy tale and sometimes...she thinks it might be the happily-ever-after kind.
