A/N(PLEASE READ 'CAUSE YOU MIGHT GET CONFUSED!): Okay so first off, if this fic sucks, I'm sorry. This is my first challenge fic and the first where I actually had to use the scripts from the show.

But somewhere, people all forget what a mess youth is. It's a time of magic, all right, and there's nothing more unreliable of annoying than magic. Lemme tell ya a little story. It starts like this..."
Buffy walked through one of Sunnydale's many cemeteries on her late night patrol. She fiddled with the stake in her small hands.
Her mind wandered and drifted off into her "special" place. She was pressed up against the wall, and unsurprisingly, it was Angel who had her in that position. One of his large hands rested next to her head on the wall, and the other on her hip. Their mouths were delving into each other's.
Then the scene just froze and Lorne's voice announced, "No actually, it really starts here..."
