What We All Went Through
Buffy and Willow put Buffy's three new clothes on hangers and into the closet. They certainly stood out. Girls at the Council school wore the same uniform daily. Tan cargo pants with two deep pockets in the front and two deep pockets in the back, a plain white t-shirt, and plain white sneakers. To bed they wore the same style nightgown as girls 100 years ago did. A plain white gown with a bit of lace at the top. They were permitted to wear nothing else. Sure the uniform changes ever 8 to 10 years. When Buffy first arrived at the Council school she was four. Back then they wore black work pants, black sneakers, and camouflage tops. Everything had to be simple.
"It will be so strange." Buffy said as she looked at the ball gown.
"What is that?" Willow questioned
"Wearing something else. I haven't been out of uniform since I was 4. I don't ever remember wearing any normal clothes. And that nightgown that Samantha sent be, I won't recognize myself." Although Buffy would not say it, she was just a tiny bit excited about seeing herself so sexy looking. However, it wasn't excited enough to change her mind about the marriage.
"What are you going to do about shoes?" It wasn't as if Buffy or herself owned anything other than sneakers.
"Oh, I talked to Cordy at lunch. She is going to give me a pair of black heels. Seems her mom and dad sent her a huge package full of clothes and shoes as a gift. She is getting married to high Council two days before before my wedding you know. I don't know what I will do for shoes for the wedding dress." Buffy wasn't exactly friends with Co but but they could get along.
"Oh God Willow, I don't want to marry him. I just- why me? Are they trying to make an example out of me? Like 'Hey wanna-be-slayers, don't want to get stuck married off to Council? Do exactly what we say! Remember Buffy Summers? She was at the top of her game. Aced all her fighting courses. Preformed well in math, science and history. Yet she had a bit of a wild streak. Now she is stuck married to an evil, evil man.' Yeah, that is what they are going to tell them." Buffy sat on the bed defeated.
“Buffy--” Willow began
"No Willow. No." Buffy jumped up and said in a half yell. "I worked so hard for these people. I have worked through my childhood and teens years. 6 days a week I worked. I practiced. I studied. I did almost everything that I Slayer can do to get assigned outside work. This choice they made- it wasn't a personal choice in my best interest. It was politics. I have been a good solider. Now I want credit. I want what I deserve!" Buffy finished her rant and sat down on the bed again.
"Buffy." Willow tried hush her.
"Some will hear you, keep it down." Willow insisted.
"Be thankful for what you do have. You aren't marrying someone twice your age and you aren't marrying someone you aren't sexual attracted to!" Willow was the one that was half yelling now.
"Oh God Willow. Is it Tara?" Buffy looked changed to concern and Willow was the one that sat in tears.
"Yeah, she thinks that she will be married off." Willow almost couldn't speak now.
"I didn't think they married witches off." Buffy couldn't believe how selfish she had been.
"Well, after she was injured last year, her powers have been weaker. The Council isn't sure they want to invest in her future just yet. Her 18th birthday is in just two months. I don't know what is going to happen just yet." Willow sighed
Later that Evening
"Come on Buffy. On come...I want to see how you look." Willow was feeling slightly better than she had been during the afternoon. She was eager to see how Buffy looked in her ball gown.
"Okay..okay" Buffy came out from the bathroom.
"Oh wow. Oh Buffy you look great." A tear formed in Willow's eyes as she looked at Buffy.
The black and gold gown hugged Buffy's slender body. The gown fell all the way to the floor, covering all but the tips of the shoes that had giv given to her. Her hair was half up and have down. Something else Willow had never seen. Al l the girls at the Council school wore their hair long, all one length and always up in a ponytail. Styles and short cuts were not permitted.
"Are you ready?" Willow asked, already knowing the answer.
"No, but I will get by. I always have." Buffy answered and walked out the door.
"It will be so strange." Buffy said as she looked at the ball gown.
"What is that?" Willow questioned
