//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////////////// Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who reviewed.

B, thank you for reviewing so quickly the story could have only been up two minutes. And thank you Lora Darcy, although your review made me kinda sad, it was very helpful. I don't think this chapter is any better, because I had written it before I saw your review, but I will defiantly try to improve on my grammar for the next posting.

Please don't I kinda love him

Chapter 1 continued

Xander gulped "I know he's evil buff, but he's human! You don't mean actually kill him? Right?" Giles was cleaning his glassed again. "Yes Buffy, being the slayer does not give you licence to kill people!" Angel looked up solemnly "it's wrong Buffy."

Buffy just raised an eyebrow at them, and looked at Cordy who shrugged "just wondering when you started slang'ing British style, you sound like Wes"

Buffy chuckled "Ok first off, that git knows dam well I'm the slayer, and is trying to get rid of me! Secondly when I said kill, I meant mame possibly disfigure. (Cordelia giggled and Giles mouth dropped open) and thirdly, Angel, you have killed way to many humans to say anything, to any one!"

Angel looked down ashamed and mumbled "I didn't have a soul" Cordelia snorted and Buffy ignored him and talked directly to Cordy "I picked it up over way to much time spent with Giles, I only do it when I'm angry, or, well, Drunk."

Giles cleared his throat "well the to of you seem to know what the other is talking about, but if you wouldn't mind, I would like to ask you some questions about Angel's, err, well for a lack of a better word, family."

Buffy got up of the floor and straddled a chair the wrong way round "ask away Ripper." at the use of his child hood name, Giles began choking "either one of you, could of read that in one of my journals."

Cordy laughed "God Giles I know you're a watcher, but other people have lives, there's know way we would go to that much trouble to learn about you. No offence or anything, I know your past happens to be way juicy, but all that looking, reading and page turning from me and buff, No Way!"

Giles took out a pen and a note book and mumbled "emm yes, quite." Willow looked at her best friend, there was no way that Buffy and Cordelia Chase would work together, to play a trick on them like this. So she would give them the benefit of the doubt.

"Giles try not to make the questions to important, and keep them vague, if they are from the future, and can I just say what a scare future it must be. I mean Cordelia knowing stuff about Angel's vampire family and us. Oh god I'm babbling aren't I?" they all nodded while Cordelia mumbled "both family's" but Angel was the only one who heard her. Willow got back to the point. "If we have to send them back, we don't want them to change anything."

Xander got quite excited, because for once he under stood what they were talking about. "yea we don't want Buffy, and her royal highness here, going all Marty McFly on us, and never being born, or maybe we could just let it happen to Cordelia." Xander and Willow laughed at what he had just said, but stopped abruptly when they saw glairs coming from both Cordelia, and Buffy.

Giles nodded "very well Willow it is always best to be safe, if the two of you could both give, short, precise answers to the questions I am going to ask you, it should be possible not to give to much away" both girls nodded and everyone began to move so they would all be sitting around the table.

Cordelia noticed that Angel wasn't moving, and out of habit, handed him a chair and moved to close the blinds. When she sat back down at the table, she saw looks of shock and confusion from around the table, a smirk from Buffy gratitude from Angel. Cordelia just smiled back at him, shrugged her shoulders and said to him "your welcome."

Buffy balled up a piece of paper and threw it at cordelia's head "trained dog much, Cor" Cordelia snorted "like you microwave doesn't have a blood setting" Xander and Willow scrunched up there noses in disgust, while Giles once again began cleaning his glasses.

Buffy grunted "its not my fault every time I took it off Dawn would just put it back on and tell me to 'mind my own business' like vamps eating in my home isn't my business."

Giles cleared his throat "while I am most disturbed that there is such a thing as a microwave blood setting. I feel we have ventured of track. Now if you would please answer my questions one at a time, I believe we can have this dilemma sorted out swiftly. Now in turn could you please tell me you name, age and were you live from your prospective, and what you said before you found you selves, well thrown back in time. Buffy if you would please be so kind as to go first."

Buffy sided "fine, Buffy, Ann, Summers. I am twenty-one years old, and I live in Sunnydale. I was walking around Restafeild, you know slaying, I staked a vamp or two, then I started kicking the shit out of some big ugly grey demon, the wind picked up, the demon disappeared, and it got kind of sunny, so I started home, when I saw Cordy and followed her."

Giles looked up from the notes he was taking "did you say anything to this demon, I need your exact words, if you are from the future, it may be crucial."

Buffy snorted "I didn't say 'I wish' Giles how dumb do you think I am? It wasn't a vengeance demon anyway, they tend to be less grey and move vainy, but if it gives you a happy, I said something along the lines of 'It's not like I like him, I don't think he's sexy, I don't want to date him, I mean Xander and Giles would kill me! Why couldn't it have been different at the beginning.' and Cordy, you laugh and I'll stake you"

Even after the threat Cordelia couldn't help but giggle, "ok my turn my name is Cordelia Chase I am twenty one years old, and I live in L.A. I was in my apartment, talking to my ghost Dennis and I said something like, 'but now he's never going to see me as anything other than his seer, why cant he see me differently, Why couldn't it have been different at the beginning.' Oh my god! I think I know what happened to us."

Looks of disbelief came from the old Scoobie gang. Buffy just raised an eyebrow, but when she looked at Angel she found she had his full and undivided attention. In a somewhat amused tone Xander asked "and what exactly does the captain of the cheerleading squad know about time travel that a watcher doesn't."

Cordelia just ignored him and told Buffy what had happened "Giles was right time travel is not possible. But inner wishes are, Angel and Wes had me read a whole book about them after Doyle died, something about 'your gift may be crap, but the powers sometimes give out great holiday packages.'" Giles dropped his notes on the table "well thank you for the validation Cordelia, but I am afraid I don't see how inner wishes relate to you. Only those who work for the powers may receive them, and even then they are extremely rare."

Cordelia turned and glared at Giles. In her old snooty tone of voice she said, "I do work for them, and if there was ever two employees that deserve an inner wish, it's me and Buffy. Now if you don't mind, we will be taking the day off, since we have both graduated already. If you need us you can find us in one of the cemeteries. Come on Summers let's go, I'll explain about the inner wish while we shop." And with that both girls got up and left. The library doors swung behind them.
