He finds her beneath the ancient tree where they practiced her control before. He's crushed to witness her flooding tears. "Willow," he almost cries, "what happened?" The tree's beginning to bend, its leaves weeping.

"I called my parents."

"You told them?"

She nods. "I trust it did not go well. Willow, forgive me if I am overstepping. I know it is tradition for the father to escort the bride down the aisle, but I would be honored to fulfill -- " He doesn't have to finish his offer, or wait for it to be accepted, as, her sobs breaking, she flies into his arms.

The End

Very sweet and I can see Giles stepping if for Willow's father at a time like this.

Thanks! I wanted to do more with the tree part, having it weeping for her, but I think it came across all right, considering the 100 words limit. :-)
