This is what I wanted to happen after Chosen and when Angel found that Scroll in the Wolfram & Hart file room. It is basically 5 years later and Buffy is in the Black Forest, and is training slayers. She is a teacher now and semi-retired. She loves what she does but is missing what every girl wants a true love. Buffy's Perspective.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters, Joss Whedon does.

Angel and Buffy fans will enjoy this. This is also my first FanFiction, so it might be bad!

A New Beginning to an Old Story

I stood on my balcony which over looked the courtyard of the castle. I watched the new slayers training there. It was amazing how many we kept finding. It seemed like everyday there was a new one popping up that ranged from the ages of 6 to 20. There was even a 26 year old the oldest that there has been so far. We mostly train in this caste that we found abandoned in the Bavarian Black Forest, where no body would see us. It needed some refurbishing but not much. It was in very good shape when we found it over a year ago. There are other locations were slayer are all around the world. I do patrolling but I am mostly a teacher now. I miss it sometimes.

Dawn and Xander help me run this operation. We train them and guide them. Faith and Wood are set up in the US, along with some of my first trained slayers. We had 6 teams of 25 there set up around hot spots. We have 20 teams of 15 in Europe not including us we are the head quarters. Giles heads up London. Willow and Kennedy are in Romania. Andrew is in Rome. There are others helping us too, like council members who survived the First and other slayers who I trust.

The sun was warm, as it beat down on my back. I thought it must be scary for them, to all of a sudden have a destiny thrown at you, but then again I've been there and I've done that. That's why there couldn't be a better teacher to them then me, someone who's done it all. I am probably the longest living slayer, 28 years old and have been doing this for 13 years, even though I have died twice. In my line of work, death doesn't hinder you from doing your job. They are the future and I am there teacher. Not in a million years would I have thought about doing what I am doing.

I felt a tap on my shoulder, I had herd footsteps but I dismissed them as Xanders or my secretary. But when I turned around I got he shock of my life, it was Angel. I was confused, Angel, here and in daylight. This triggered a immediate reaction of pushing him out of the sun and into my office.

"Angel are you crazy?" I yelled as I tried to pat the fire out, but soon realized that he wasn't on fire. I started to ask what and then I heard and felt something that I never heard or felt before but at the same time it was oddly familiar. It was his heart, it was beating. I hesitantly put my ear to his chest to see if it wasn't just a figment of my imagination. I could have stayed there all day, just listening to it's beautiful rhythm. It was real, it was a real heart beat again, something I never thought I would hear.

I eventually looked up at his face afraid that it wasn't really him, Angel, my angel. He was watching me with his big brown eyes, which sparkled with life. "How?" I asked staring up at his face. He gently folded me into a hug, the one I missed from so long ago. "Um…" He started out with. "See there was this prophecy…" I immediately cut him off and start go off on my own tangent, "Of course there was a prophecy, there is always a prophecy, sorry, continue." I looked up at him and pulled him to the couch I had a feeling I would need to sit down.

"Well, we found this scroll in the safe at Wolfram & Hart, a law firm. It said that after I redeemed my self I would be turned back to human. I have apparently redeemed myself and I get to be human. I thought about that one time when I came to help you with the first and you said that you thought of a future with me, someday years from then, if ever. Well, is today the day because I think it lines up perfectly, you have slayers to take over your… business and I have people to do that for me now and-" I cut him off right there, "Shut up!" I said smiling and I kissed him before he could get another word out.

Somehow we wounded up on the floor. Unbuttoning each other's shirts and exploring each others body, to remember the way we fit. I felt like I was missing something after that first time we had sex, on my seventeenth birthday. It felt so right and complete. There was a nagging feeling that I had done this before and it had gone terribly wrong but I soon forgot about that and lost myself in the man I now knew was mine forever and always. He truly was my soul mate.

I really appreciate reviews!
