Once upon a time there was a little love angel named Cupid (but his family and friends called him as Angelus).

He had started to hate his job: he just shoot love arrows day after day and make some stupid teenagers fall in love with each other. Let’s say it together: BORING!

He wanted to have a little more excitement. He wanted dangerous and deadly missions, booze filled parties, naked girls… And that’s the reason why he did it. He made a bet with the God of War, Xander – if Angelus could get two the most unlikely person fall in love, Xander would let Angelus do his job for a week. Of course Angelus took the bet (Well, duh! Alcohol! Naked girls! Here I come!)(Hmmm… What Angelus could promise to Xander if Xander wins the bet?)

Well, Angelus didn’t believe that Xander could find the unlikely couple, but he didn’t worry about the bet (hey, he hadn’t ever missed any arrow - he had skills, you know!). But boy, he had no idea what would happen…<br>
Xander had find two persons – Buffy Summers and William ‘Spike’ Thornton. Buffy was a beautiful high school girl with rich parents and spotless background (translation: a real virgin princess with daddy’s MasterCard). Spike was terror of the school (when he was there). He had no fashion sense, he smoked all the time, he hated rich people, rumours said that he had been arrested more than couple of times, and he had lots of crazy girlfriends (translation: a guy with bad attitude, bad habits, bad taste, bad background and the worst possible sense of girlfriends).

Angelus really had bad chances to win the bet, but he really was ready to do everything to win. But unfortunately he got a teeny-tiny problem soon – he fall head over heels in love with Buffy. And now he had to make a choice: Win the bet and make the most gorgeous babe to fall in love with a loser, or lose the bet and find a way to get Buffy to himself.

What will he choose?

Buffy/Angelus in this scenario is vey unlikely. He can just make Buffy fall in love with himself, and there you go...

I also thought that if someone doesn't like the idea about Buffyverse where everyone are just humans, then Buffy could be the Slayer and Spike a vampire - that way things could get more interesting.

Do you really think that Angelus could make her fall for himself? I think there might be some kind of rules which ensure that Cupid couldn't make any girls fall for him. SO, if he wants to get Buffy for himself, he has to find another way to do that.

That opens up a whole can of worms of ways to do so, with plenty of ways to mess it up.

What is Angelus/Cupid was forced, upon losing, to give up his true dream "crush"? That would add a few complications in to that choice of his... the poor guy.

'The Fall Of Cupid'

That gives lots of ideas in itself. Maybe thinking that it would still work, he gives up his cupid identity for a small amount of time, or parts of it, he then gets money and everthing a human could ever dream of into a certain palce and become more or less human. That could always be the fall.

Then the hard parts starts when he has to woe her to him, but he doesn't know that she is already in love with him... ors oemthing...
