Angel What Should have Been Season
6: Chapter 7
Cake
Angel sat in his office, looking over some papers. He was half expecting Gunn to walk in any second, spouting some legal notes in terms he could not understand. Angel sighed, he decided to go to the lab, maybe something happened there that caused everyone to disappear. He found some broken bottles, which looked like they had contained some sort of liquid at one time, but that could not be the cause. He looked around some more, and found nothing. He was about to go upstairs when he heard something, a loud clanging noise. Angel took the B.L.P.G. from the case that was on the wall and he slipped it on his right arm. He cautiously moved around the corner. A black creature jumped out at him. It swirled in the air and then darted to the back of the room, where it scurried around on the floor, frightened. Angel went up to it slowly, not knowing what to expect.
"Hello there, and what are you exactly?" He asked, out-loud. He poked it with the gun, and it hissed at him, then disappeared. Just then Wesley appeared next to him. He was confused and dazed, as if he had been in a weird dimension. "Wes! Where have you been?" Angel asked.
"I am not sure. One minute I was here, and then there was this black thing coming at me, then I was somewhere else."
"Well, that doesn't help me much. I have to find the others," Angel huffed. Wes looked at him strangely and then adjusted his glasses, which were crooked from teleporting.
"What did you do to bring me back?"
"I touched the black thing that you described. It must be some sort of monster, it's almost like that shadow demon," Angel suggested. Wesley thought about this for a minute, and suddenly another creature jumped through the air. Angel tried firing the BLPG at it, but it missed and hit the wall, creating a rift. It shot across the floor and then towards the stairs. Angel jumped and fired, creating another rift, the creature was
caught between the two. When the creature was between both rifts, Angel smacked it with his arm. It hissed and disappeared, like the last one. Illyria then appeared in the corner. She turned to Wes and Angel and blinked.
"Where was I?" She asked.
"We want to know as well, we have to find these black creatures in order to retrieve everyone," Wes explained.
"All right then, time to put this to good use!" Angel said, a little too happily, and teleported to the second floor, using the BLPG. Illyria sighed.
"He will never learn. He was much better as a vampire," she stated. Wesley laughed a bit at this, but then noticed her glaring at him, so he stopped and followed Angel.
It took them a long time, but they managed to find every single black creature, and everyone who was in the office that day reappeared. Angel stood in the main hall of the office building and smiled. He was glad that everyone was back and running around the office again, even though it had always been too busy for him. He liked quiet places, even in his new human form. But this is how things were, he will always be there, at least until he retires.
"I have a present for everyone," Angel said. He, Wesley, Gunn, and Illyria were gathered in the lab. All of the techs were there as well. Angel came from around the corner holding a box. He set it down on the table and opened it. There was a chocolate fudge cake sitting inside. It was a pretty large box, everyone was surprised.
"Cake, really?" Gunn asked. Angel laughed.
"We never have any fun around the office, so I thought cake would be a good idea to lighten the mood a little. We need a break after what happened," he replied. There was an awkward silence and everyone looked at each other. "Well, dig in! I will join you in awhile, I have an… important phone call to make," he said, and left abruptly. Illyria pulled out a large knife from nowhere, Wes took it from her, making her disappointed. Everyone laughed.
Angel went back to his office and sat down at his desk. He stared at the phone for a minute, and then picked up the receiver. He dialed a number. There was a click, and at first there was no answer, but then a familiar voice answered,
"Hello? Who is this?" It was Buffy's.
"It's… Angel. Before you hang up I want to say that I'm sorry! I did not mean to hurt you, I'm serious," Angel waited for a reply, there was some uneasy breathing and then she spoke, making him more relieved than ever before.
"I'm not mad anymore, but you have to realize that you can't just come to my apartment and start telling me things and then contradict yourself."
"I know, like I said, I am sorry."
"I understand. It will take some time for me to trust you again… but I think I… want to give our relationship… another chance," she hesitated.
"Thank you. I promise I won't hurt you again. I want this to work. I really do… love you," he said. He could almost see her smile, her cheeks redden, her blue eyes shine.
"I love you too, Angel," she said. Everything was right, there was no approaching apocalypse, no monsters to face at the moment, and now he had her back. The one he loved and will always love.
The End
Lina: So, what do you think? It will be the last fic that I write here. I will continue to post things on my site, which can be found in my bio. I may start this site up again, but who knows. I am very busy right now with finishing school and getting a full time job (fingers crossed, only an internship right now), so we shall see. But look forward to more stuff by me on my site! Hope you enjoyed this one and thanks to all who reviewed my stories over the years. It has been fun!
Angel: Go and eat some cake!
Lina: hehe, kind of out of character, but oh well. Happy belated st. patrick's day! I did not get drunk… I was sad. Heh. Until next time, jaa!
