Loves & Losses
Buffy Anne Summers
Angel
Angel is a 270 year old (approx.) vampire. He followed Buffy's tale to becoming the slayer. Buffy didn't know of his existence until she met him in Sunnydale. First he was just a handsome stranger who knew what went bump in the night, and gave Buffy some help. They grew closer together, with Buffy still not knowing that Angel was a vampire, when they first kissed his vampiric face came out. Buffy was devastated, but Angel told her what he was and about his past. They tried to live without one another but "they have the forbidden love of all time" according to Cordelia. They were in love. Before long the relationship got physical, and Angel turned. Since he had a soul that one moment of happiness took that soul from him. He turned on Buffy and the rest of the gang. Buffy knew what she had to do, she had to kill him. She did and saved the world in the process. She thought Angel had gone but he came back from the hell she sent him to, and even then she tried to live without him but it was too hard. They got back together until Angel realised it could never be, they could never have normal relationship. So Angel left Sunnydale, left Buffy.
Riley Finn
Buffy first met Riley at UC Sunnydale. It wasn't the most fairytale of all meetings but it was obvious they both had an impact on each other. Soon Riley found out his feelings towards Buffy and attempted to ask her out. It didn't go as well as he planned, but eventually both of them got together. But Riley didn't know about Buffy's other life as the Slayer and Buffy didn't know about Riley's other life as a commando. When they found out about each other Buffy thought she couldn't handle it. Riley made her think more about it and made an effort to understand what she went through before. It worked out, they were a happy couple for a long time, fighting side by side. Until it was apparent that something was wrong. Buffy didn't realise it at first though. After Buffy got bit by Dracula, Riley was always wondering what kind of hold Dracula and Angel both had on Buffy. Riley found out for himself, and it cost him his relationship with Buffy. Buffy was devastated to here what Riley had been up to, she was ready to break it off with him. After a few wise words from Xander, Buffy realised what she could be missing. But it was too late and Riley was on his way to a secret government operation in Belize.
Spike
When Oz and Willow separated, it was a hard time on Willow, and Willow wanting everything to be right again she cast a spell. But as spells often go, it went wrong. And in a crazy blink of the eye Buffy and Spike were getting married. They were "in love". But as soon as they said that they were getting married, they were back to their normal behaviour of being at each other's throats. Spike then grew an unhealthy obsession for Buffy, and things didn't end to swell for him, Buffy was nearly raped and he headed off to have his chip removed, only his soul was returned. Their relationship continued to be rocky and landed on being a friendship of sorts on his return.
Owen
Owen was one of the first normal guys that Buffy went out with when she first came to Sunnydale. However she had some competition in the face of Cordelia, but it was obvious that Owen was only interested in Buffy. However after a disastrous date on which Owen nearly got killed by a vampire Buffy thought that Owen was going to call it off between them. But it turned out that he still wanted to go out with Buffy, but the only reason why was that because of the near death moments he could have. So Buffy broke it off, she didn't want to be in a relationship like that.
Scott Hope
After Angel died Buffy thought it was about time she got her life back and began dating again. One guy who had always like her was Scott Hope. Things were off to a rocky start but none the less they did start. Their first date was at the Buster Keaton Film Festival. But when Angel surprisingly returned Buffy found herself distracted, and Scott suddenly broke it off with her for that very same reason. Turns out that soon after Scott dumped Buffy he came out about himself, after spreading rumours that Buffy was in fact gay.
Ben
Ben was working at Sunnydale hospital while Joyce was ill. Buffy's repeated goings in and out of the hospital soon created a friendship with one of the attendee's there, Ben.

They had a nice romantic dinner, so far so good.
Willow Rosenberg
Daniel Osborne (Oz)
Oz and Willow had one thing in common, they were both extremely smart. They first met at a career convention at Sunnydale High School. Soon their friendship grew into something more. Their first date was Buffy's 17th birthday party, which didn't exactly go without any hiccups. But suddenly Oz was backing away from Willow, he had just found out that he was a werewolf. He thought that Willow would want to stay away from him, but she didn't. They were totally inseparable. Until at UC Sunnydale Oz met a fellow female werewolf called Veruca. They had an animal attraction. Willow found them both together asleep and couldn't handle it. Then Oz almost attacked her. He knew that he didn't want to risk killing her again until he had the wolf under control, so he left to find a cure. Willow was totally devastated but she managed to carry on, only just. Oz did come back, as he has said. But situations had changed by then, and Willow had a girlfriend - Tara. Oz didn't know this and presumably wanted to get back together with Willow. However when he did find out about Willow and Tara he couldn't handle it and wolfed out. He then found out that the one thing that brought the wolf out in him was Willow, so he left again.
Tara Maclay
Tara and Willow first met at a wicca group at UC Sunnydale. Willow recognised the fact that Tara seemed to know what she was talking about when it came to the craft. They became friends, on the interest in witch craft. Slowly they got closer and closer. Before Willow realised she was in love with Tara, she was extremely confused, especially when Oz came back. But she knew that she loved Tara. They've never argued ever together, until one time when Tara mistakenly said that she fears what Willow might be able to do in the future with her powers. For the day they went in opposite directions, and Glory went after Tara thinking she was the Key. She sucked Tara's brain and Willow wasn't there in time, and Tara turned into a no-sense speaking crazy person. Willow looked after Tara as if she were her child. And Willow found a way to reverse the spell, and they're back together. But Willow's over use of magic worried Tara and it came to a point where Tara thought that she should give it up as she's hurting her loved ones, Tara then left her as a spell which Willow did went wrong and played with Tara's mind. After month's of being just friends and getting over the awkward moments Willow asked Tara out for coffee, she said yes, and Tara rushed forwards as she'd been obviously missing Willow a lot. Things were good with them back together again, but tragedy struck. Tara got shot, and died instantly.

And it wasn't the only one. When Spike had kidnapped both Willow and Xander, while Oz and Cordelia were off to save them, they kissed again, but Oz and Cordelia saw. Then and there they knew that they could never be together, especially as Willow was in love with the werewolf.

Before long they were girlfriends, and proud of it. Tara mistakenly told Willow that her powers are growing, and that they sometimes scare her. Willow didn't appreciate this comment, they split for the day, and while Tara was alone her brain got sucked by Glory. Willow looked after Tara and restored her brain. But Willow's over use of magic then made Tara think twice after a spell which Willow performed to make Tara forget about a fight which they had.
