 The man smiled as he carefully slipped the invitation back into its crisp white envelope.  He tucked the envelope into his bag and adjusted his seat as the flight attendant's informed the passengers of their arrival at Sunnydale Airport.  Alexander Harris was finally home.

********************************
 
 Willow Rosenburg jumped up from her seat as a bored voice announced the arrival of  Flight 426 from Washington at Gate 17.  She made her way to the entrance as her heart beated faster.  It had been so long.  She waited in a mix of happiness, excitement, and nervousness.  Her best friend was finally coming home.

*********************************

 Xander quickened his pace as he neared the crowd of people outside the glass wall.  He searched among the many heads for anyone familiar.  Finally, he spotted the well-known aurban hair of his best friend.  He began to jog and he waved wildly and shouted out her name.  A few seconds more and he would finally be with Willow.

**********************************

 Willow turned around quickly when she heard his familiar voice calling out her name.  She saw a handsome young man waving and walking quickly toward her.  She gleefully ran into his open arms as he lifted her and swung her around.  At that moment, all time seem to stop as two best friends were together once again.
