Disclaimer: These Characters are not mine I wish they were though because things would be so much better, and third season would've happened this way. I don't own the title either it belongs too Elvis Presily (sp). I also don't own the song "Hero" it's performed by the talented Mariah Carey.
Spoilers: Just for the record all of season three just to be on the safe side, except not Buffy and Angel breaking up, no Cordelia and Xander breaking up, No Scott, so pretty much all the events in season three never happened.
Dristibuation: My site anyone else 'Want Take Have'
Dedication: Too all the actors of Roswell, the creator of Roswell, Sarah and David and most importantly too all my B/A 'shippers and writters out their.
Authors Note: An answer too my own challenge, which was Inspired by watching Roswell Viva Los Vegas. Also in this I had Angel like the idea of them all going too Los Vegas in fact he provides the fake ID's for them all. I know Angel would never do that but well it's funner this way. Too make Angel footloose and carefree and Angel's human. Oh and I know I made Cordelia and Buffy extremely close in this story but for some reason I wanted them to be the best friends and I know that the legal gambling age is 21 but just for the record it's 18.

~I want it too take place during Season 3 of Buffy.
~Angel should be human or his soul should be Permanent.
~The entire scoobygang goes to Los Vegas for a vacation minus Giles.
~All of the scoobies dancing Cordelia and Xander and Willow and Oz. While Buffy is singing.
~Buffy and Angel eloping in the Elvis Chapel. (Yum Angel wearing a tux and Buffy in a wedding dress)
~The scoobs being the guest and witnesses at Angel and Buffy's wedding and yes they elope.

Feedback: Yes please be nice and send me feedback it'll make my day.

Prologue

Cordelia and Buffy were walking through the halls of Sunnydale high thinking about what they should do for spring break.

Buffy said "Cordy I think we should do something fun and exciting for Spring Break?" "How about we go the Florida's Spring Break?"

"Oh God no I don't want to go to a place were theirs going too be a lot of boozing, and Florida's spring break is exactly that." "Yeah I don't either but what about all those hot collage guys that are going to be their." They giggled and Buffy said "No I'm plenty spoiled by Angel." "Of course he worships the ground you walk on." "Well, I wouldn't go that far."

"Well, he does worship you Buff." "I know and I want to do something really spectacular and rememberable for Spring Break with my boyfriend, by the way why do we need too check out collage guys when we have are own boyfriends? I have Angel you have Xander and Willow has Oz."

"Because I want to check out a real man." "Cordy remember the last time you had an interest in a collage guy you almost ended up being a sacrifice for a giant snake that eats beautiful high school girls and Angel wanted to grant a living humans their death wish?" Buffy said reminding her of reptile boy.

"I know but Angel wanted to grant the frat boys their death wish because they were going too feed you to that snake one thing I've noticed about Angel is that anytime someone threatens your life he gets deadly and dangerous and wants to grant them their death wish." "Yeah it's great isn't it?" "I just got an idea." "What Cordy?" "How about all six of us go too Los Vegas minus Giles." Buffy smiled and said "hmm the gambling capitol of the country" "and the night life is awesome plus incredible shows and perfect places to elope like the Elvis Chapel." Cordelia said suggestively too Buffy.

"Oh no I don't think Angel and I are going too elope Cor. I don't know if were ready to get married yet." Buffy said even though inside she thought it would be cool "oh yeah you and Angel act like your already married" "no we don't." "Oh yes you do and then when we get their I bet by Thursday you and Angel will want too elope. Plus I think eloping would be romantic." "Since when did you become a hopeless romantic Cordy?" "I don't know." Cordelia said "So what do you say Buff should all six of us go to Vegas?" "I think that'd be a splendid idea. I'll talk to Angel." "I'll talk too Willow and Xander. I can probilly get daddy too help with the cost." "No, I'm sure I can persuade Angel to pay for it. He is loaded!" "Well, probilly because he's been investment saving bond over the last couple hundred years." "Yeah pretty much." Buffy said.

The two girls giggled and Cordelia said "Okay so you can go talk to Angel and I'll go talk too Willow and Xander. We'll meet period six on Friday at Angel's place." "Okay see you tomorrow Cordy." "Yup."

They left and Buffy headed towards his apartment, she had helped him find an apartment that had more sunlight in it and Angel found the perfect apartment and Buffy loved it and so did Angel.

She arrived at his apartment complex she went in and up the stairs too room 208. Buffy knocked on the door, "hold on." She heard Angel's voice say.

He opened the door and said "Buffy! Hay this is a nice surprise." Angel said smiling and took her in his arms he pulled her into his apartment room he shut the door and kissed her passionately and ran his hands along her back they pulled away from each other when she needed to breath Buffy said "It's nice too see you also." She ran her hands along his chest "Spring Break is coming up, and Cordelia and I came up with a great idea of what to do for Spring Break." "What?" "That all six of us have a romantic get away too Los Vegas get away from the hellmouth and Giles." "Who'll be the slayer though?" "Faith"

Angel smiled and said "That is an excellent idea maybe we could even elope," he said half teasing and half not "maybe." She said grinning eloping would be a wonderful idea and what a better place to do it then in Los Vegas okay so it wasn't on the top of her list of were and how she and Angel would get married but she'd love to get married to the man she loves anyway.

"Buffy I love that idea but how can we get you, Cordelia, Xander, Oz and Willow too be able to enjoy everything in Los Vegas." "Angel they just don't have gambling they have a place for kids under the age of 21, they have shows, wonderful dinners and other really cool stuff. I might even sing." "Are you good?" "Yes, I am."

"Oh because I was thinking of getting all of you fake ID's." "Oh you bad boy! Besides we just decided to do the night life and the arcades and the shows." Buffy said resting her forehead against his "but I love it!" Buffy said grinning he smirked and kissed her again. "Who are you and what have you done with my boyfriend?" Angel shrugged he said "What can't I just have a little fun now and then and be not so uptight? I use to gamble back when I was human before and I practically won everytime." Angel said "oh I see. So you kinda want to relive your past?" "Just some of the parts that were actually really fun besides it could be just for fun."

"I know, besides I think we all need to have a nice relaxing vacation." "I couldn't agree more, besides we could just all do the sort of arcade." "I suppose that would be fun, besides I have a lot of money and I might need it in the future." Angel said "Our future." "True." They kissed again and their kisses became quickly passionate Angel probed her lips with his own and she moaned.

"What do you say we take this back to my room?" Angel suggested slyly and kissing her neck "mmm very tempting!" Buffy said as Angel started sucking on her neck she knew she'd probilly have a hickey in the morning but she didn't care. He picked her up and carried her too his room for an afternoon of fun and love.

Part 1:

It was the Friday before Spring Break Buffy was in her study hall class softly singing Viva Los Vegas.

"Viva Los Vegas, Viva Los Vegas, Viva Los Vegas." Lucky for her no one noticed her singing, Cordelia said "Getting excited to go too Los Vegas huh?" "Oh yeah, I'm glad we managed to persuade Willow to come." "I know I thought we wouldn't be able too."

Cordelia and Buffy had talked to Willow and did all they could that it would be fun for all of them to get away and have some fun, she then agreed when they told her they didn't have to gamble that they could just hang out in the arcade and check out the shows and that Oz was coming and Faith was going to be the slayer in Sunnydale while they were gone.

They all hoped that their would be no big evil while they were gone and just vampire trouble. When the bell rang Buffy and Cordelia walked out of study hall talking they waited in the student lounge for Xander, Willow and Oz.

Xander, Willow and Oz all came up to them Xander went towards Cordelia and kissed her she smiled and said "hay!" "Come on everyone let's head to Angel's." Buffy said, no one disagreed and they all left. Willow and Oz holding hands Xander and Cordelia with their arms around each other.

Buffy felt sort of like a fifth wheel but her boyfriend wasn't exactly looking like a high school student.

They were all in Ozs' van and Buffy was up front giving Oz directions since she is the only one who knows were he lives. They had all headed to their homes and packed and made up stories too their parents who believed them.

When they arrived at Angel's apartment Buffy parked her car and so did everyone else, she guided them too the front of the Park Place estates.

They all went into his apartment room Cordelia looked around and said "Angel has good taste." "He does doesn't he Cor." "I'd say!"

Angel came out and said "Hay everyone, I'm just going to pack a few more things then we can leave. Take a seat." Buffy Cordelia and Xander sat down on the couch and Willow and Oz sat down in the love seat.

Angel came out of his room and said "Allright I got them all here, fake ID's." He handed all the ID's too his friends "Your names are all the same I just lied with some of the material."

"So let's all head too Los Vegas for an incredibly fun Spring Break!" "How are we getting their?" "It's not that far just over the border Oz could we take your van?" "Sure it has enough room for six people and I know my way to Los Vegas." "How come?" Angel asked "Because a couple months ago my band had a gig their." "How come you never told me?" Willow asked her boyfriend. "It slipped my mind sorry baby." She kissed him and said "Okay."

They had all their bags in the back of Ozs' van Cordelia and Buffy had the most luggage they had their clothes and a bag full of make up.

Buffy and Angel sat together in the back nuzzling and kissing, Cordelia and Xander were actually talking softly and for once not arguing. They were all talking about what they wanted to do in Vegas.

Buffy said "Angel I think we should sing their." "Oh God Buffy I haven't sang in a long time." "Oh come on it'll be fun." He kissed her forehead and said "I'll think about it okay," 'and maybe I'll ask you if you want to elope while were their.'

Oz said "So Angel were are we going to stay?" "At The Valley High Hotel and Casino I booked a suit for six people, so we'll all get too share a room with are boyfriends or girlfriends."

Buffy and Angel smiled and so did Cordelia and Xander, but Willow and Oz blushed furiously, and Oz said "Um Angel Will and I kinda haven't taken that step yet. We're a new couple not like you and Buffy and Xander and Cordelia." "Oh don't worry you guys you don't have to be lovers too share a bed." Angel said sympathetically "I mean Buffy and I are I don't think Cordelia and Xander are though." "What makes you think Xander and I aren't?" Cordelia butted in "Cordy!" Xander said embarrassed she shrugged "What I'm just saying that it's possible that Buffy and Angel are the only lovers of the group?" "Oh God!" Xander said burying his head in his hands.

Part 3: Viva Los Vegas!

It had taken a couple days but the scooby gang ended up in Los Vegas and they heard the song Viva Los Vegas through out the town.

They arrived late on Sunday night Oz said "Well gang here we are." They looked out the windows and drove slowly through the town "it looks even better then in the pamphlets." Buffy said.

"Angel how long is it until were at the suit?" Angel said "Um I think about another few miles." "What is it called?" "Valley High Hotel and Casino." "Okay I'll be looking for it.

Oz drove a few more miles and found it "I think I found it." "Does it say Valley High Hotel and Casino?" "Yup this is it." Oz parked the van and Angel went to the check out desk and said "Hello I have a reservation for six people in your presidential suite." "What's your name sir?" The young brunette women at the desk asked "Liam O'Conner if here for the Osborn, Chase, Harris, Rosenburg and Summers party." She looked through a guest book and said "Yes we have you assigned too the Presidential Suit."

She said "Tony!" "Yes, Tara?" "Take these three couples too the presidential suit." "Yes, mam." He pulled up a long carrier like wheels on it he said "Okay gang put your bags on this." They did with mostly Buffy and Cordelia's stuff all six of them went to the elevator with Tony in the lead, he pressed the button that was at the top most part and the elevator starting going up.

When it was going up Tony said "So you young people up here for a little romantic get away? You know you have to be over 18 too go to the casino or else you just have to enjoy the night life and the arcade." "We are all 18 Tony, except Angel here is 23." Buffy said "I figured even if you weren't the legal age you could just have enough fun without going to the casino, you young people all look like you have show talents, maybe you could all try out for an audition."

The elevator reached the top floor Tony said "here we are." The elevator doors opened and Tony was the first one too get out since he had all the luggage and then everyone else followed after him, they walked into a paticulary large room and Tony said

"This is the Presidential Suit three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a balcony a large hot tub that can reach up too 110 degrees. "Wow that hot." Buffy commented "Yes it is but I suggest you keep it too at least 75 if your going too use it and you can call room service." "Okay." Angel paid the fee.

Tony left and the gang was all excited even Angel he said "okay line up everybody." Everyone got into a straight line and he said "You are no longer High School Students from Sunnydale, California this week everyone gets five grand to spend, no more and no less and no complaining at how less it is since this trip is costing me $2500.00 dollars. Got it?" Everyone nodded Angel said "Okay then then go out their and have a week of a lot of fun! Where all going to meet for meals is everyone clear? Buffy and I are the leaders of this little operation." "Yes, sir!" Everyone saluted "Good now go out and have some fun and we'll meet for dinner at 7:00, you all have your cell phones handy?"

Everyone took them out and showed them too their leaders for the week. "Okay good remember this week is for fun and relaxation, so go out their and have fun!" "Yes, Angel." Everyone said together "you can go now." He said they all did except Buffy stayed with him "I don't want to be separated from you all week."

Buffy said "That's why your the assistant on this trip I'm pretty much the boss since I'm paying for this." Buffy walked out too the balcony she opened the French doors and stepped out the hotel room had an excellent view of the entire city of Los Vegas. Angel slipped his arms around her waist he said "What are you thinking about?" "Los Vegas looks incredible at night wouldn't you say." "Yeah it is. Ready for some fun?" "You bet!"

They headed out of the hotel room and down too the casino Buffy said "How much do you suggest I get in chips?" "How about half of what we got?" "No how about at least 1,130 dollars." "I guess that's okay maybe you can give me some pointers on this." Buffy said "Yeah I was a pretty lucky gambler back in my day." "How about we go to some shows first?" Angel asked "I like that idea. Is their an entertainment schedule." "Yeah with the brosure."

Cordelia, Xander and Oz were at the slot machines and tables most of them had pretty good luck."

Buffy and Angel were looking to see what their was.

Part 4: Wednesday

Buffy said "Angel, Angel Angel!" "What is it baby?" "I got an audition to perform at a show tonight!" "Really I'm so proud of you. What are you going to be singing?" "Hero performed by Mariah Carey!" Angel kissed her and said "I'm so proud of you honey! I have to ask you a question?" "What?" Angel got on his knees and said "Buffy you are my heart and soul without you I would be nothing will you marry me?" Buffy smiled and said "of Course I will," Angel smiled he kissed her passionately he pulled away and said "When should we?"

"Why not right here while were here. We could elope and get married at the Elvis chapel." "Good Idea, it'd be so romantic and we can have the gang as our witnesses and guest." "I'll have Cordy be my maid of honor." "I could have Oz as my best man." "Were going to have to go shopping and get some formal wedding clothes."

"We'll be able too manage." Angel took out a blue jewelry box and handed it too her she opened it and saw a 2 karat diamond ring with sapphires on the side she said "It's gorgeous!"

"Come on baby we have to get you ready for your performance tonight." "Yeah I know I want to wear something really nice." "You'll look lovely in anything my darling." "You have to say that your my boyfriend," she then looked at the ring and said "Make that fiancee and soon to be bride!" Buffy said and kissed him he kissed her back "Go find something nice to wear." Angel urged her.

She looked through all her clothes she modeled a few dresses for Angel he shook his head saying that most of them exposed too much cleavage, Buffy was on her last dress it was a long white sundress with silver swirls she said "How about this one?" Buffy asked

"Perfect it looks just like the prom dress you wore on your sophomore year." "So you think I should wear this?" "Do you have shoes to go with those?" "Yup, white sandles." Buffy said showing them too him "perfect outfit!"

"You mean when you were still cryptic warning guy."

"Hay I was improving my cryptic skills then I went too the prom with all of you including Jenny remember?" Angel said. "Well, you were still 'your in great danger' stage at the start of my Junior year." "Hay I was trying my best too avoid my true feelings for you, it was so hard." Angel said wrapping his arms around her waist.

"I know but you finally gave in and decided to give us a chance and now look at us your human and were engaged." "Yeah and will be married by this time tomarow. When are you going to be singing tonight at the restraunt on the first floor." "I'll call everyone else."

Angel took out his cellphone Buffy went out too the balcony and looked out over the city of Los Vegas, it was daylight and the others were either at shows or at the casino or arcade. Angel finished the calling everyone was excited that Buffy got a singing role.

Part 5: That Night

Everyone met up at the restraunt that was close too the main lobby of The Valley High Hotel and Casino.

Willow and Oz sat near Buffy and Angel and Xander and Cordelia sat on the otherside of the table they were listening too the music Willow said "Now this is the Vegas I love!" Buffy was a nervous wreak about singing in front of all these people, Angel was squezing her hand gentle, they were all dressed in their absolute best with formal they all bought with the money. Cordelia said placing her hand on Xanders shoulder "You cleaned up nicely!" The men were all wearing tuxs and the girls were wearing fancy dresses.

Cordelia said "Buffy don't be nervous you'll do fine up their." "Yeah Buff we've all heard you sing your excelent." Willow said Xander said "Yeah and we're all rooting for you Buff." He said "I think I'm going to go get a burger." Cordelia said "You had lobster Xander." "Yeah and it didn't fill me up, maybe they have something better here."

He sat up Cordelia said "I don't even know why I try." Buffy said "Well at least he wore a tie." Angel said "I think this food is good." Buffy playfully smacked him on the chest and said "Of course you haven't eaten real food in a long time! Plus I think you look increadibly handsome wearing a tux." They all noticed the ring on Buffy's finger Cordelia grabbed her hand and said "Oh my god thats a gorgeous ring, did Angel buy it for you?" "Oh yeah we forgot to mention were getting married tomarow night."

Cordelia turned towards Willow and said too everyone else "I told you guys that they would end up getting married here! Before spring break was over!" "Yeah I guess you did." Oz said, the owner of the Valley High Hotel and Casino went up on stage and said "Hello everyone! How is all you people tonight." Buffy said "Oh god it's time." She took out her compact mirrior and made sure her hair and make up were perfect, Angel took her hand he kissed the top of it and said "You look fine my love! Your going to blow everyone away."

The anouncer continued "Tonight we have a special treat, a first time vistior in Los Vegas is going too sing a lovely song. Please welcome Buffy Anne Summers from Sunnydale, California."

The guest applouded and Buffy got up she kissed Angel and he said "Good luck beloved." Buffy went up on stage Mike handed her the microphone, "Hi everyone. How is Vegas going for anyone, this song I'm about too sing goes out too my friends and my Angel, it's about being curageous and how a hero lies in us all, the song is titled Hero by Mariah Carey." She signaled too the guy at the sound board too start the music. He did the chords hit and Buffy started singing.

//There's a Hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afriad
of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will Melt away//

The guest all stood up and started dancing Willow and Oz went too the dance floor, Cordelia said "Were dancing." To Xander she took a hold of his hand and Angel just sat their listening too Buffy's beautiful singing voice through out the whole place.

//And then a hero comes along
With the strength too carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you//

Angel smiled as he watched Buffy sing and his friends dancing yes they were all of his friends he felt so lucky. Some girls tried too get his attention but he didn't pay attention, some girls tried too flirt with Angel but he brushed them off and they knew they should give up his sight was glued to the petite blonde singing on stage.

//It's a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the Emptiness you felt
Will disappear

And then a hero comes a long
With the strength too carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you//

Angel was smiling Buffy was so talented with singing he smiled at her she smiled back at him and continued singing. He steped on stage and stood behind Buffy while she sang.

//Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away
Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time
You'll find the way

And then a hero comes along
With the strength too carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong

And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you//

When the song ended a loud applouse went throughout the crowd. Angel came beside her he said "That was wonderful beloved." Angel said she smiled and he took her in his arms and kissed her passionately.

Buffy and Angel stepped off the stage they were surounded by their friends and people wanting Buffy's autograph she signed a few and said "Thats all everyone."

Buffy's friends and boyfriend all walked away Angel kissed her and said "You were fantastic beloved." "I guess I mean look at all these people who want my autographs and I'm not even a famouse female artist like Mariah Carey or Jessica Simpson or any of those people." "I bet you will someday." "Yeah I know I can but I"m the slayer I can't exactly have a singing career. I learned a long time ago that I can never have a normal career. Instead I have a destiny." "That doesn't mean you can't consider it."

Cordelia said. "I don't know guys. I shouldn't even be getting my hopes up I mean theres no directors here or anything, besides if I were to be a singer I would have too ryme and write my own songs." "Well not all singers write their own songs Buff." Willow added.

They all left the place Angel had his arm around Buffy's shoulders, Xander and Cordelia had their arms around each other and Willow and Oz were holding hands.

They arrived at their hotel suit and Buffy was increadibly tired tomarow she and Angel had to prepare a wedding within a few hours for the next night.

She went into the chapel and the rest of the scobies were their Cordelia was wearing a lilac strapless maid of honor dress and Oz was on Angel's side while Willow and Xander were working as the witnesses, Buffy admired Angel in a tux and he thought she looked very lovely Buffy walked down the aisle towards Angel who smiled at her.

Angel lifted the vail over Buffy's head and kissed her the minister said "I now pronounce for the first time Mr. and Mrs. O'Conner." the minster said Buffy tossed her bouquet too Willow and Cordelia and Willow ended up catching it.

Buffy and Angel clasped hands and walked out of the Elvis chapel. Angel called a taxi a taxi came up and they got in. They arrived back at the hotel and when the Taxi pulled up, Angel opened the door of the cab and got out he offered his hand too Buffy she took it and they got out of the taxi.
