~~ Happily Ever After ~~

Buffy sat in the cemetery with Riley. They were making out passionately despite the fact that there were fifty vampires surrounding them.

"C'mon Slayer, stop oozing sex so that we can kill you!" one of the demons yelled. "All you do is screw your boy-toy. You never fight us anymore!"

Buffy and Riley stop kissing for a second. "Come back tomorrow and we'll see." Buffy instructed. Riley and Buffy went back to kissing so the vampires gave up and left.

They didn't notice Angel walking up to them until it was too late. He grabbed Riley and threw him against the tree. "Hey Captain Cardboard, leave my girl alone!" he threatened as he punched Riley in the face.

Riley's nose started to bleed and he began crying like a baby. "Stop it! I'm telling my mommy!" he cried, running off to buy a plane ticket to Iowa. "Goodbye forever, Buffy."

"Bye Riley, thanks for trying to fill Angel's much bigger shoes until he came back!" she yelled after him. She turned to Angel and smiled. "Angel what are you doing here? I thought you were in LA."

"Yes, I was, but now I'm here and I won't ever leave you again," he said. He walked up to her and kissed her. "I'm sorry about everything I said to you the last time you were in LA," he said. "I was sexually frustrated because I couldn't have sex and I was insanely jealous because you could."

Buffy smiled. "I'm sorry too, but Angel we still can't have sex."

"Yes we can, Buffy," he said grinning. "I went kareoke singing and the demon lounge singer told me my soul was anchored forever!"

"How?" Buffy asked.

"The Powers That Be granted it to me when they turned me back into a human. I guess they forgot about the clause when they turned me back into a souled vampire." he said. "Oh wait, you don't remember about our day together when I was human. Just forget that part."

"But Angel, I do remember it," she said. "I dreamed about it and I called Cordelia after I woke up and she told me that you told Doyle and that it was actually true!"

"That's amazing! Guess what else is amazing, Buffy." he said.

"What?" she asked.

"I still have the Ring of Amarra!" he said, pulling it out of his pocket. "I had a double made to give to Spike so he would walk out into the sun and burn, but they tortured me and got the real one. So when I escaped, I smashed the fake one in case Spike was watching and I kept this one hidden."

"Now we can go out in the day!" she shrieked.

"Yeah...oh Buffy, I'm so happy!" he exclaimed. "Let's go buy some Cookie-dough-fudge-mint-chip and have sex all night long!"

"Okay!" she squealed. "I'm glad you beat up Riley, he was so bad in the sack. Even Parker was better than him."

"Can I kick his ass too, Buffy?" Angel begged.

"Why not?" she said. "You're still a vampire."

Angel cheered happily. "I love you, Buffy."

"I love you too, Angel." she said. Then he leaned down and kissed her passionately. "Angel what about your prophecy? Don't you want to become human?"

"I don't care about that right now," he said. "I have my soul and that's all that matters. But if you want, we can always track down another Mohra Demon and get some blood from him."

"Sounds good," she said. "Let's go tell the gang you're back. Xander will be so happy!"

"Okay, I can't wait for him to call me Deadboy again." he said happily. They ran out of the cemetery hand in hand towards the Magic Box to tell everyone the news of Angel's arrival.
