Author's Notes: This story deals with the what happens when there comes a battle they can’t stop? Someday it will happen. This is set at the end of the fifth season, and it’s how they spend their last moments on earth. I have a lot of couples in this story. Buffy/Angel, Willow/Oz, Xander/Anya, Cordelia/Doyle, Spike/Drusilla, and Giles/Joyce. The couples spend their last moments with the people they love. It’s kind of sad and there is angst because the world is ending. I couldn’t do it without angst. Sorry. Anyway enjoy.

Part 1
Giles read the prophecy once more.
It was clear, and unstoppable. Tomorrow the world ended and there was nothing they could do to stop it. They had lost their battle, it was over. After five years of fighting they had lost.
It seemed as if all they had been through was for nothing, because in the end all they had done was delayed the end.
“So there’s nothing we can do?” Xander asked as he paced around Giles apartment.
“I’m sorry.” Giles said and then shook his head. “There is no way to stop it.” He looked at them seriously. “Don’t you understand, it was inevitable. Eventually we had to come up against something we couldn’t fight, this is it.”
Buffy looked at Giles carefully. “So this is our last night on earth?” She asked softly.
Giles nodded. “I’m afraid so.”
Buffy stood up and prepared to leave.
“Where are you going?” Willow asked softly.
“If I only have one last night on earth I’m spending it with Angel.” With that she left.
They all watched her go with understanding. They realised that Buffy needed to spend her last night with Angel, there were no consequences now.
“Buffy has the right idea, go spend your last night with someone you love because when the sun sets tonight it’s never going to rise again.”
They all realised what he was saying and left.
“Xander?” Anya asked, opening the door to his apartment. He had moved out of his parents basement a couple months before.
“Yeah?”
She looked up at him, something new in her eyes. “I love you.” She said softly.
“What?” He asked in complete shock.
“You heard me. I’ve loved you for a long time, but I’ve never been able to admit it.” She stepped towards him, and started to undo her blouse. “Xander make love to me. We had sex once before, but before I die I want to be made love to by the man I love.”
Xander nodded, and kissed her softly. “I love you.” He said, before kissing her again. After a few minutes he picked her up and carried her to his bedroom. She watched him with love, as he helped her take the rest of her clothes off.
With hesitant fingers she removed his shirt. A minute later all their clothes were shed, and they lay down on the bed together.
Spike threw a vase at the wall. It had been an hour since Giles had called to tell him that the world was going to end. He was an ally of the slayer’s now and maybe even a friend.
He heard someone come in and looked up to see Drusilla. “Dru.” He whispered, this was first time he’d seen her in two years.
“It’s over, isn’t it?” She asked him.
“Yes.”
She didn’t react, and then slowly she walked towards him. “Spike, I’m sorry.” She whispered, he just took her in his arms.
“It’s okay pet.” He said as he kissed her.
It cheered him to know that she would be with him in the final moments before their deaths. For not even demons would survive, the world would be destroyed.
“I love you Oz.” Willow told her boyfriend as she lay in his arms.
This was their last night together ever. Soon it would all be over. A couple hours at the most Giles had said.
“I love you too.” He told her, kissing her hair.
Willow rolled over, so that she was laying half on his chest and facing him. “Oz, I’m pregnant.” She told him, knowing he had to know. She would never have the baby she carried inside, but boy did she want it.
Oz’s hand trailed down to her stomach. “Really?” He asked her, she nodded.
He pulled her closer. “I wish this wasn’t going to happen. Then you and I could raise our child together.
Willow nodded. “So do I.” She told him, tears running freely down her face.
Doyle knelt before Cordelia. “Marry me.” He urged.
“What?!” His girlfriend looked at him in shock.
“Delia, the world is going to end in a few hours. I know their isn’t time for a real marriage, but even just a symbolic one is enough. I want to die knowing you’re my wife.”
Cordelia nodded tearfully. “Okay.”
Doyle nodded and carefully slipped one on her ring finger. “I love you
Cordelia Chase, with every breath in my body.”
Cordelia took the other ring from him and slipped it on to his finger. “I
love you Doyle, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you.”
She started to cry and Doyle’s arms went around her. “There, there. It’s
okay.” He consoled, kissing her tears away. She grabbed his shirt and pulled
him on top of her.
“Here, on the floor?” He asked in disbelief.
“Why not?” Cordelia asked as she kissed him with all her passion.
He kissed her back with just as much passion. This would be their last time
and they both knew it.
Angel looked at Buffy in surprise.
“You came.”
“Who else would I spend my last night ever with?” She asked with a grin.
He kissed her tenderly. “I love you.” He whispered when they finally parted.
“I love you.” Buffy said, looking up at him with total love and devotion.
With an unspoken understanding Angel picked her up and carried her to his
bedroom. When they were there he gently laid her on the bed and began to
tenderly kiss her.
She kissed him back with three years worth of love and longing. Tonight they
would finally be one again, but never again. This was the only time they
would ever get to be together.
Joyce smiled up at Giles and wound her arms around his neck.
“I love you.” She told him with a grin. “I really do.”
“I love you too.” He told her, and then he kissed her.
“Let’s go upstairs.” She said removing her arms from his neck.
He nodded and took her hand. Together they went into his bedroom.
It had been almost three years since the last time they had been together,
and tonight would be different. It was the last time ever, but it was also
the first. Because this time they truly loved each other.
This was special, and neither one of them could think of anywhere else
they'd rather spend their last moments on earth.
