---------------------------------------------------------------

Buffy is in the graveyard on patrol looking for something to pummel. She is
wearing cute jeans and a purple t-shirt with a jean jacket. She hears
something in the direction she's going and looks through the bushes. When
she finally gets full view she sees a couple vampires chanting in a circle.
"I guess I gotta stop them from their little get together and whatever
they're bringing forth." Buffy whispered to herself. Buffy broke out of her
hiding spot and went over to them.
"Ok, that's enough chanting for tonight, come back tomorrow for the next lesson." Buffy said as she came over to them. A light flashed and something appeared in the middle of their circle.
"We knew you'd be here tonight slayer, you're just in time to meet him." One
of the vamps said.
"Meet who?" Buffy said confused.
"Our Master!!" The vampires said in unison. The figure in the middle came into view and went straight for Buffy. Buffy dodged his attacked and went to kicked him, but he beat her to it by punching her in the side. Buffy got angry.
"Ow, that wasn't a very nice way to meet someone." Buffy said holding her side. She tried to play a trick by fake kicking and then fast punching him in the
face, but it was like he had predicted what she was gonna do and he kicked
her in the stomach before she could punch all the way. The kick was so
powerful it took Buffy to the ground. She laid there holding her stomach
with pain and fear in her eyes. The figure that attacked her turned out to
be a vampire.
"You think you can beat me Slayer, you have no idea who you're dealing with." He said in a cute, but haunting voice. He looked at the vampires like he said something, but it was silent then he disappeared. The vamps circled Buffy with smiles on their faces.
"You know this isn't fair." Buffy said looking up at them. They just kept smiling and now laughing. They started kicking her from all sides. Buffy screamed for
helped, but it seemed useless. One of the vampires went in to bite her, but
stopped inches from her neck and turned to dust.
"You look like you need some help." a familiar voice said. Buffy looked up weakly and saw Angel with a crossbow.
"Yeah, I do." Buffy said softly. The vampires got so scared they ran off. Angel went over to Buffy.
"Are you alright?" Angel said as he held Buffy.
"I'm hurt pretty bad, I don't feel alright." Buffy said as let out a moan of pain. "I'm here now, you're gonna be fine." Angel said as he lifted her in his arms, but Buffy cried out again.
"Ahh, it hurts to move." Buffy said as he let her down again.
"You're gonna have to fight through it so I can get you home." Angel said firmly, but sweetly. Buffy nodded and let Angel take her home. By the time they got home Buffy had tears in her eyes and had gone through a lot of grunts, but they made it. Dawn was asleep so they kept it down. Angel fixed up Buffy and put her to bed.
"I have some news that might make you feel better." Angel said as he tucked her under her covers.
"Yeah, I was wondering what you were doing here, not that I'm not glad
you're here." Buffy said. Angel got close to Buffy and took her hand.
"Here, feel this." Angel said as he put Buffy's hand on his chest. Buffy looked
confused until she felt something different that she didn't expect to feel.
"You're heart is beating." Buffy said smiling and wondering.
"Buffy, I am human now." Angel said as he held her hand tighter.

I'll be your dream I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope I'll be your love
Be everything that you need
I'll love you more with every breath
Truly, madly, deeply do
I will be strong I will be faithful 'cause I'm counting on

"How can this be?" Buffy said confused.
"If I make amends for the pain I caused, the soul I have makes me human." Angel explained.
"How did you find this out?" Buffy said as she pulled him closer.
"It was a scroll I found, Wesley translated it." Angel said as he laid down beside her. Buffy cuddled into him.

A new beginning
A reason for living
A deeper meaning, yeah

"I can't believe it, my dream is coming true." Buffy said as she pulled him near to her. Angel pulled Buffy in really tight.
"Ow, not so tight." Buffy said wincing at the pain she forget in the amazing moment.
"Sorry, but you pulled me so willingly. I'm glad for our dreams to come true too." Angel said as he got her in a comfortable hold.
"Oh, you wanted this too?" Buffy said.

I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me

"Of course, ever since I found out I was gonna become human I have been dreaming of this day. I always wanted to be with you." Angel said to her with loving content.
"Oh, I just figured the way you broke up with me it would be impossible for us to be together, but now you're human and we can." Buffy said logically and then sweetly.

And when my stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky,
I'll make a wish to send it to heaven
Then make you want to cry
The tears of joy for all the pleasure in the certainty
That we're surrounded by the comfort and protection of
The highest powers
In lonely hours
The tears devour you

"I'm glad I chose tonight or you'd be dead again." Angel said jokingly.
"I should get some sleep and tomorrow I'll tell the others about the new vamp boy." Buffy said as she laid on his chest. They both went to sleep.

I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
Oh can you see it baby?
You don't have to close your eyes
'Cause its standing right here before you
All that you need will surely come

The next morning Dawn came to wake Buffy, and found Angel in the bed with
her.
"Rise and shine, Buffy, time to start the day." Dawn said loud enough to wake them.
"Hey, Dawn, good morning." Buffy said with a smile and got up.
"Oh, Angel, what are you doing here?" Dawn said surprised.
"Hey, Dawn, How have you been?" Angel said greeting her.
"I'm good."
"I saved Buffy last night, she almost got her ass kicked and almost bitten." Angel said looking at Buffy making sure he didn't say anything wrong. Buffy glared.
"I did not, just came really close, but I was gonna get him." Buffy said trying to stand up for herself. Dawn and Angel looked at her with disbeleif.
"Anyways, I came here to tell everyone, mainly Buffy, that I am human now." Angel said, explaining to Dawn.
"Wow, really, that is amazing." Dawn said very surprised.
"We better get going, so we can tell the others about the new evil." Buffy said as she finished dressing.
"Yeah, that was some serious vamps that Buffy was getting her ass kicked by." Angel said poking at Buffy's side.
"That's it!!" Buffy said as she tackled him to the floor, but stopped when she felt the pain on her sides.
"You shouldn't do that to yourself, take it easy." Angel said as he got up.
"Well, you should know better than to tease a Slayer." Buffy said as she held her sore sides.
"Stop fighting and let's get going." Dawn said as she practically shoved them out of the room.


*******************

"Buffy, good morning." Giles said as he answered the door. He invited them in and noticed Angel behind her and Dawn.
"Oh, Angel, hello how are y....?" Giles said as he noticed it was daytime.
"Hey, Giles." Angel said smiling as he took a breath in.
"Uh...how are you here it's daytime?" Giles said very stunned.
"It's ok Giles, don't have a freak out, Angel is human now." Buffy said as they walked in.
"Yept, I have a beating heart and breathing too." Angel said as he and Buffy sat on the couch.
"How did this happen?' Giles said still shocked and now siting on a chair.
"Wesly, would be the one to ask, but it was all in an acient scroll." Angel explained as he started rubbing Buffy shoulders.
"If he makes amends for the pain he has caused, he is to be mortal and live out his life." Buffy explained as she enjoyed feeling of Angel's hands massaging her.
"Oh, that makes sense." Giles said as he nodded in understanding.
Dawn started watching TV and had the volume up on a music channel.
"Dawn, turn that down." Buffy said as she broke from Angel's grasp.
"I need something to do while you tell Giles the new vamps happening." Dawn said as she turned the TV down.
"Well, then keep it down." Buffy said walking back to her spot on the couch.
"I was wondering why you were here." Giles said as he poured himself some tea.
"Yeah, we have a new Dracu-Lestat, I have a sexy accent vampire guy." Buffy explained with an accent in her voice. Angel went up to her and hugged her.
"And you almost got killed by his minions." Angel said holding her tighter until she pushed him away as she got embarassed.
"Oh, are you alright, Buffy?" Giles asked as he overheard.
"Yes, I'm fine. I look fine don't I?" Buffy said trying to hide her expression of worry. Angel whispered an apology in her ear.
"Yes, you will patrol tonight with Angel?" Giles asked as he finished his tea.
"I will. I don't know if Angel's coming?" Buffy said as she looked over at her now human boyfriend.
"Yes, I plan on coming. Not like I have anywhere else to be, besides I don't want you to get hurt anymore." Angel told her as he started to hug her again.

*************

Buffy walked with Angel through the cemetary silently enjoying themselves.
"Quiet night huh?" Angel said as he held his arm over her shoulders.
"Yeah. Hey! don't jinx it!!" Buffy said surprised.
They heard a rustle up ahead of them and a lot of arguing. They snuck around to get a better view.
"I will get the Slayer before he does, watch me!!" A male vamp said with a smirk.
"Yeah right, she'll kick your ass." Another one said.
"You've got that right big boy." Buffy said as she stepped out from her hiding place. She instantly started fighting the vamp who thought he could beat her. After a while he got the upper hand and threw her to the ground. Angel was distracted with the other and didn't notice until he heard Buffy scream. When he finally staked the other one he saw that Buffy and the vampire were gone.
"BUFFY!!!! Where are you?!?" Angel shouted into the night as he looked around. But he couldn't see any sign. Not even tracks or a trace they were even there.
