AN: Alright. Ages, Birthday's, and Families are now up in a picture image on my MySpace. Link is posted on my profile. So that should help with any confusion. As said in those images, I am not guaranteeing that all the characters who I have listed will be used. I looked on IMDB and found every character in BTVS and Angel and made a list, took out the ones I DEFINITELY wouldn't use, and made these lists of the ones I would have a chance of using.
Disclaimer: Joss Whedon owns everything, except for the DVD's and books I own. :P The rights are all his though.
Enjoy!

Chapter 2
January 19th, 1996
9:46 A.M.
Buffy was woken up after seeing only a minute of her dream. Angel was shirtless in her new kitchen, and she was bandaging up a wound across his ribs.
Willow was pulling the covers off of Buffy's bed. "Hi, Buffy."
Buffy pulled the blankets back over herself. "Ugh, Will! I was dreaming about him again. This time he was half naked in our kitchen!"
Willow's mouth was opened in a little "O", "Half naked? Which half?"
Dawn sneaks into the room behind Willow. "Who's half naked?"
Buffy and Willow looked at their little sister together, "No one!" Buffy hated when Dawn barged into her room without knocking. "Dawney, you're too young to hear this, ok? Do you think you could come back in, say… Never?"
Dawn started crying and ran to her bedroom, "I hate you!"
Willow went after her. "Dawney."
Buffy hated how much Dawn always had everyone's attention. "Just leave her, she'll get over it. So where were we?" They both smiled, as Willow sat down on Buffy's bed.
Doyle, Spike, Connor, Faith, and their parents finished packing their things. Everything that wasn't needed immediately was packed into a moving truck. Their mattresses and a few outfits were left in their rooms. Angel's things were still unpacked.
"Stop dreaming about her!" Faith yelled at a sleeping Angel.
Angel woke up looking confused. "What?"
Faith smiled at him innocently, "Mornin' Sunshine."
Angel glared at her, "Why do you keep waking me up? Wait, did you just call me 'Sunshine'?"
Faith started laughing, "Yeah, I did. Do you have a problem with it, Sunshine?"
Angel got out of bed and walked over to her. "I'll kill you if you call me 'Sunshine' again."
"No you won't, because I'm your ticket to getting to know Buffy."
Angel laughed, "How? You don't even know if she's real."
"Yes I do." She corrected him.
"How?" Angel looked at her in disbelief. "Did you track her down or something?"
Faith looked surprised at his question. "No! The slayer from Sunnydale is a blonde named Buffy. Mom told me that in two weeks we will be 'living' at her house until ours is finished being built."
"Yeah, I um.. I heard something about that, they never said her name is Buffy though."
"Mom, Dad, and her parents talked about who is sleeping where." Faith said, "Would you like to know who is sleeping in her room?" Angel smiled at his little sister, knowing what she was about to say. "Me!
"What?" Angel looked surprised, realizing that what he had thought was wrong. "No… Screw it, she is probably nothing like in the dreams if it is actually her."
"Well," Faith started, "I hope she is like in your dream. You need to get laid, and bad. You're just so… Boring! Hahaha." Angel glared at her. He knew he wasn't the most entertaining big brother, but his lack of a girlfriend had nothing to do with it, he was just far too busy to play games with her like they used to.
Angel laughed, knowing his sister was mostly joking. "Yeah... Do you think I can trust her though? There are so many things about us that can't get out."
"Only time will tell." Faith picked up a folded box and unfolded it, taping the bottom. "Come on, let's pack up your room so we can convince Mom, and Dad to leave early." Angel smiled at her again. Faith was his best friend, and he loved her very much. He would threaten to harm her every time she called him something weird, or that he just didn't like. Like his birth name, Liam, or like that morning, when she called him Sunshine, but she was in truth, the only person he really trusted, and the only person he had ever loved with all of his heart.
11:14 A.M.
Giles walked into his oldest daughter's room to find her, and her younger sister unpacking. They looked up at him. "Buffy, Willow. I have an old friend coming over in a week or two, maybe sooner. Her family is moving here and they will be staying here until they finish building their house. Alright?" Giles finished.
"Alright." Buffy said before something clicked in her brain. "Wait, are they going to be staying in our rooms? With us?"
"Yes," Giles said authoritatively, "And we have already decided where everyone will be sleeping."
"'We'?" Buffy sounded upset. "Who is 'We'?"
"Myself, your mother, my friend, Darla, and her husband, Vlad." Giles responded. Buffy glared at her father for what seemed like eternity.
"Well who is staying where?" Willow said, finally breaking the awkward tension between father and daughter.
"Well," Giles said while cleaning his glasses, "Since they have four boys, and only one girl, we have decided to abolish the 'No boys allowed in your rooms' rule. There are just way too many boys under one roof to keep that rule in effect."
"Who's sleeping where?" The girls asked in unison.
"Since Connor is only eleven, he will be staying with Dawn, Spike will be with Lindsay, Doyle will be with Willow," Giles started but was interrupted by Buffy.
"Woah, wait one second, I get two people staying in my room," Buffy asked, "And one is a guy?"
"Buffy, you have to understand, your room is the biggest. Faith, a potential slayer will be staying in here, with their eldest son, Liam." Giles responded, "Oh, and one more thing, the boy, Liam, he only likes to be called Angel."
Buffy, slightly gaping, shut her mouth and smiled. "It's a pretty name."
Doyle walked up to Darla. "Mom, I was just looking at the Sunnydale High School website, and it says the due date for late registration for second semester has changed. Tonight is the deadline. And to top off the great news, the landlord just called. We need to be out by morning so he can fumigate before the new tenants move in.
Darla looked furious. "Damnit, how much is packed?"
"Everything." Doyle responded, "Me and Angel just finished helping pack Connor's room, and Faith has been packed since she found out we were moving. I believe her and Spike just finished his room as well."
"Alright," Darla started, "Um, tell your father that we need to leave in the next hour or so, please. I just need to call and make sure it is alright with Giles and his wife that we stay a bit earlier than expected. If not we will have to find a hotel."
Joyce hung up the phone. "Giles, Darla just called. They have to come a lot earlier than they expected. They should be here in about 4, maybe 5 hours. I told them it's alright to come over. We can't let them sleep in a hotel, with that many children it would cost a fortune on rooms."
Buffy looked at her mother wide-eyed. "4 hours? That's too soon! I haven't finished unpacking yet. My room is a mess!"
Willow touched her sister's arm. "Don't worry Buffy, I'll go see if Dawn is willing to help out, and we will be up in a few. No one will even realize that we just moved in here."
Buffy hugged Willow. "Thanks, Will."
3:10 P.M.
Vlad drove the moving van to Sunnydale while Darla drove their car with Connor and Doyle, Spike drove his own car, and Angel drove his car, with Faith. Each vehicle filled with boxes.
Faith looked over at Angel. "Hey, do you remember earlier when I told you that I am the one staying in Buffy's room?"
Angel nodded his head, keeping his eyes on the road. "Yes. Did you lie? Am I the one sleeping in her room?"
Faith turned to look out her window. "I didn't lie."
Angel glanced at Faith but couldn't see her face. "Alright, why are you bringing this up again?"
Faith smiled, "Well, her room is the biggest in the house, aside from her parents. So, we are both going to be staying with her."
Angel smiled, and shook his head, knowing that she was keeping something from him. "Cool."
6:19 P.M.
Buffy noticed her father look at his pocket watch for the umpteenth time. "They should have been here by now. I hope they haven't gotten lost." He said.
Lindsay shook his head; his father was always getting worried." They probably just stopped off at Denny's for a bite to eat."
Buffy laughed. "Or maybe they took the wrong exist and are half way to Washington." Buffy stopped joking, looked at Willow and whispered, "What if they got lost? Or got into an accident or something?"
Willow glared at her sister, "Did it ever bother you that if it weren't for you knowing that they have a son named Angel, you wouldn't care if that happened?"
Buffy looked hurt, "A little bit." Willow shook her head and the doorbell rang. "Oh God, they're here." Buffy took a deep breath.
