Disclaimer~ Don't own em.... simple enough!

Allison Reynolds climbed into her bed and pulled her stuffed animal closer to her. "Tell me about the slayer, Buffy!" she said excitedly.

Buffy Summers smiled at her adopted daughter, and she sigh within her self, thankful the little girl didn't know _she_ was the slayer. She stroked the brown curls beside her and started her story.

"There was a girl who grew up in Los Angeles, she was a cheerleader and everybody liked her. Things started to happen to her. Crazy, supernatural things," Buffy paused and looked at the girls wide eyed expression. "She got suspended from school, and had to move to Sunnydale were she met her watcher and two very good friends. Who else did she meet?" Buffy couldn't help but get images about her friend and especially Angel.

"Price Charming!" Ally shouted.

"That's right! She fell in love with Prince Charming, but then something happened," Buffy went on. "Prince Charming went bad, he tried to kill the slayer. When Prince Charming got all better he felt like he couldn't be with the slayer anymore and he left!"

"But they were soul mates," Ally said as if she had never heard the story before.

"Apparently it wasn't meant to be," Buffy told the girl. "The slayer continued to fight the badies, until one of the big badies turned good and they fell in love. The slayer wouldn't admit she loved him, but she did. She never forgot about Prince Charming, but she liked this man?"

"This was the Knight in Shining Armor, right?" Ally asked grabbing a hold of Buffy's hand.

"You can call him that," Buffy said with a nod remembering how Spike died a hero. "Then it was time for the BIG battle. The slayer and the knight planned to fight it together, but guess who showed up?"

"Prince Charming," Ally yelled with a huge smile.

Buffy nodded and continued her story, "The slayer was drawn between the love of her knight and her prince... she told her prince to leave, she couldn't bare to see him hurt. So the good prince left the slayer to love her knight and fight. The two of them fought side by side until the end, when the knight died a hero."

"What did the slayer do then," Ally asked.

"She wanted to seek out her Prince Charming, but she didn't and now no one knows where she is," Buffy ended with a shrug.

"She could be living next door..." Ally said dreamily.

"I'm sure she could," Buffy said and kissed the top of Ally's head and brushed back her bangs. "Get some sleep were going to go to LA tomorrow!"

"To see an angel?" Ally asked.

Buffy nodded and flipped off the light, with that she walked to her own room and pulled out a picture of the old Scoobie Gang.

"Allison Reynolds!" yelled at the little brunette as she darted threw a crowd of people. The former slayer started of after the 7 year old. Buffy found her at a large window fingers and nose pressed against the glass.

"Look Buffy..." she said in awe as she stared at the airplanes.

"Don't you 'look Buffy' me!" Buffy yelled angrily. "Don't you ever run off from me again, young lady!"

"Sorry," Ally mumbled barley, still focused on the planes outside the glass.

Buffy whirled around to face her. "You do it again and we'll take a trip to the bathroom , and I won't be applying lipstick! Is that understood?"

Ally bit her lip knowing Buffy wouldn't hesitate to keep her promise and spank her. She nodded and then mumbled sincerely. "I'm sorry, I won't do it again!"

"Good," Buffy said grasping her hand. She pulled Ally away from the glass, but Ally kept turning around to look until a group of people obstructed her view.

While waiting in the line with Buffy, Ally couldn't help but wonder who the Angel was, and why Buffy wanted to see him so much.

"Come on Ally," Buffy said and they came to where they boarded the plane. Ally jumped up and down while she waited for the lady to check there tickets. Ally practically dragged Buffy on to the plane and then plopped into the seat, having Buffy sit by the window, herself in the middle.

"Who's gonna sit here ?" Ally asked putting her finger on the seat to her right.

Buffy shrugged and handed her daughter a juice box. "I guess the person who bought the ticket!"

Ally nodded and started to drink her juice box when a man came up beside her. "Is this seat taken little lady?"

Ally shook her head. "Did you buy the ticket?" she asked looking at him.

"Yes I did," he showed her his plane ticket.

"Are you excited?" Ally asked as she handed her juice box back to Buffy.

"No, I fly all the time," the man replied with a smile and her put his carry on in the cubby above him.

"You can fly?" Ally asked with wide eyes.

The man laughed as he sat down and then sat down in his seat as he said, "No I fly on airplanes!"

"Oh," Ally said a little disappointedly. Then she perked up quickly and said, "Were going to see a angel!"

"Oh really," the man asked. "I work for Angel Inc. would that be the angel your looking for?"

Buffy's head snapped up and she looked at the man oddly. "You know Angel?"

"Actually I know him really well," the man said and extended his arm. "Names Brian Ashby, you are?"

"Buffy Summers," she replied shaking his hand.

"The sla -

"Shh," she interrupted withdrawing her hand and patting Ally's head.

"Oh," Brian said and he looked at Ally. "What's your name?"

Ally was to busy looking at her coloring book and she replied quickly, "Ally," then she added. "If I'm good!"

"And when aren't you a good girl?" Brian asked her.

Buffy rolled her eyes and handed her daughter some crayons. "More then you'd think!"

Almost an hour later the plane had lifted and Ally had fallen asleep, her head in Buffy's lap.

"You're the former slayer, right?" Brian asked.

"Mmm hmm," Buffy answered absent mindedly.

"Well I know Angel never really got over you," he said. "But that's not my buisness."

"I thought he was with Cordy," Buffy answered stroking Ally's hair.

"To many things happened to Cordy, she left Angel Inc married Xander actually." Brian replied with a little laugh knowing it would make her happy to hear about her old friends.

"Always knew those two would get together," Buffy said with a smile. Then she raised an eyebrow and asked, "And I thought Angel owned Wolfram and Hart,"

"He did," Brian told her and took a the cup of coffee the stewardess brought to him. "He said it was to much, he went back to Angel Inc."

"Any jobs open?" Buffy inquired as she to took a cup of coffee.

"There's always a place for the slayer," Brian told her and he took a long sip of the hot drink. "Your daughter, she's cute."

"I adopted her a couple of months ago," Buffy answered. "Her father was abusive, and there mother ran out. I was going to take the son too, but the state said I couldn't support two children under the age of 10, so he's still a ward of the state."

"Do you plan on adopting him?" asked Brian.

Buffy shook her head and said, "I was actually coming out here to ask Angel if he would... well not... but if he had someone in Wolfram and Hart that would."

"That's smart," Brian admitted simply as he continued to drink his coffee.

"How long have you worked for Angel?" Buffy asked him, wondering why there playing a big game of 20 questions.

"A couple of years," he replied with a shrug. "I got hired when Willow became pregnant."

Buffy's jaw dropped and she looked like she had the deer in the headlights expression. "Willow? Pregnant? Who's kid?"

"Do you know a Wesley Whyndam-Price?" Brian asked cooly, know she did.

"What?? Willow and Wesley?" Buffy shook her head trying to take all the information in. "Well there's an odd couple..."

Brian just laughed and drank his coffee, and the two of them just continued to talk.
