Los Angeles, Wolfram&Hart Building
Angel and the whole team were sitting at the big table in Angel's new office. They hadn't even had a lot of time to even talk with each other since they had taken over the LA branch of W&H, so Angel had decided it was time to take some time off and go on holiday together. And that was exactly what the vampire with a soul wanted to tell the others now. Plus, he had just gotten word from Giles that the Slayer and her friends had survived the battle with the first evil. Sunnydale was nothing more than a scratch on the landscape but Buffy and her friends had survived and they were heading for Rome now to make a short pause in battling vampires and demons. Also, Buffy had decided it was time to let the potentials take over her slaying, at least for some time. Giles had mentioned by the way that Willow had performed some spell which made all the potentials in the world to real slayers. Angel had been so relieved to hear that Buffy was alright that he had barely heard all the other information. When the vampire had visited Sunnydale shortly before the big battle, he had wanted nothing more than to stay there with her. That visit had been right after the Angel Investigations team had taken over W&H in LA and part of the deal with W&H had been that Angel's soul would be bound, never to be lost again. He had wanted to tell Buffy, but when he had smelt Spike on her he thought it better not to tell her.
But now Spike was dead, as Giles had informed him, and Buffy was in Rome with her friends. And the AI team really needed a vacation. So, why not go to Rome?
"Okay, guys. We didn't really have a lot of time since we moved here and we also didn't get to see each other very much so I thought maybe it'd be nice to go on a holiday, you know, together?", Angel began.
"Actually, that's a good idea. That way we could spend some time together and also talk about how we want to go on.", meant Wesley. The others were equally enthusiastic about the trip they were going to make. Fred asked, "But, where are we gonna go?"
"I thought about Rome. I mean Rome is very beautiful and it's nice weather there..."
"Aaah, Rome, I see. Say, Angel isn't that where Buffy is at the moment?", Wesley said, pretty amused. So, Angel wanted to see Buffy, probably tell her about the curse, and he certainly didn't want to go alone. Angel just murmured,"Could be...."
Now the whole team knew what was up. Gunn spoke for all of them, "Man, just go to her and tell her. You said, she kissed you, when you came to Sunnydale, although she probably had a thing with this Spike guy. Just take a flight to Rome in this neat private jet of yours and go ahead and talk to her. You love her and she loves you, no problem there. But we're sure as hell gonna come with ya, cause I really need a holiday."
"Hear, hear, he's a clever man. I'm with him in this, Angel cakes, you just gotta tell her.", Lorne said.
"Okay, so go home, pack your bags and tomorrow, we're flying to Rome!"
To Buffy, Angel thought.
