Disclaimer: You know the drill I don't own Buffy.
Just ask
The sunlight crept in through the curtains and woke Buffy up, she remembered last night "hmm perhaps it was a dream" she said going to touch her eye "OW, ok not a dream" She sighed and got out of bed "Oh great now I'm going to have to go and face my annoyed friends" she slowly walked downstairs and into the kitchen. No one even looked up or acknowledged that she was even there. "Where's Layla" She asked. "Dunno" Xander replied not taking his eyes away from his breakfast. "Thought she was with you" Spike said coming in "you and Layla do some fighting when I was out" Spike smirked "that girl can throw a punch, any idea where she is" Buffy shrugged "she kind of left in a hurry when I got back, dunno where she went, didn't exactly seem like she wanted to tell me either" Spike sighed. She couldn't be working with Angelus, could she? "I thought she would be back by now" Buffy said. "You sure none of you guys have seen her" Dawn, Xander, and Willow all looked up "why would we, you're the one who's best friends with her" Dawn said. "I don't think any of us really care" Xander said angrily "actually I'm kind of hoping she's got herself killed" Buffy shot Spike a look to stop him punching Xander in the face. "Now that's really not very nice" Layla said coming through the door, making Spike have to get out the way as the sun poured in "ops sorry Spike" Spike just waved it off. "So what we talking about, other than me dying"
Slowly the clock ticked, seconds went by, minutes went by, hours went by, and the clock ticked on. Silence filled the house. "Buffy we need to talk" Willow said walking in. "Xander's mad at you, Dawn's mad at you, and none of us really trust Layla… but I think you might have a point" Buffy looked up. "I get why your mad, and I think you have a right to be, but that day we were all acting in the moment, and everything was going wrong, and people where dying, and we made a mistake" Buffy nodded "I think I might have been kind of over reacting…. Actually I don't think I do" Willow nodded "I don't know if you're going to accept it, and maybe you shouldn't, but I'm sorry Buffy, I really am" Willow got up and went to walk out the room "Willow wait" Buffy said going after her "I get what happened, I know it probably felt like I was suggesting the worst thing we could do, and maybe you were right, maybe if we had gone along with it more people would have died, but if you had just trusted me" Willow looked at her sadly "I was your best friend, I should have trusted you" Buffy hugged her "your still my best friend Will. And at least you said sorry, that's more than the others can say"
The whole gang was sitting in the living room in silence, each glancing at each other for a second. "We need to figure out what to do about this whole Angel evil thing" Buffy said. Xander just glared at her "look ok we need to put all this behind us and figure out what to do" Willow agreed. Xander just frowned "right we don't even know what he's doing" He said. "Well you could always just ask" Layla suggested. They all looked at her as if she were crazy. "What, why not" Buffy raised her eyebrows "because he's going to tell us" She said sarcastically and was a little shocked when Layla said "yep" and then there were more crazy looks. "Ok any plans that make some sort of sense" Xander asked. "No really, he probably would just tell you, he's kind of a show off. Besides he's probably just going to try to open the gate to a hell dimension and get the world sucked into hell again" and they were back to looking at her as if she was crazy. "What, he really never liked failing. I believe his motto was, if at first you don't succeed, kill whoever stopped you the first time very slowly, and try again" she said happily, a little too happily which made Xander look at her warily. "She's right actually" Spike said agreeing. "He never liked failing, and he would probably tell us" Buffy smirked "Ok this may be the weirdest plan I've heard. Ask very nicely and maybe the big bad will tell you what they're going to do to destroy the world" Layla grinned "sure it sounds weird, but it'll work"
And that's how Buffy found herself sitting in a graveyard waiting for her ex to show up so she could ask him what he was going to do to end the world. "Ok then, this is weird" she heard footsteps behind her "what is weird" the all too familiar voice asked. "Oh Angel just the person I wanted to see" she said turning round "I was wondering" she said in a happy voice that made Angel frown at what the hell she was doing "what are you planning on doing to destroy the world this time" the words came out her mouth and she kind of felt a little stupid. "You're asking me how I'm destroying the world?" he asked smirking "u-huh" she said nodding and grinning "o-k then. Well I'm kind of doing the same as last time really, of course I can't do it exactly the same as last time, I have to find a whole new ritual for a whole new hell dimension, but it's all going well" Buffy hid how shocked she was that he actually told her. "Right, ok then, thanks for that…. I'll be going now" She looked at him "or not" she said seeing his expression. "I'm kind of in the mood to kill you, rather slowly" Buffy nodded "yeah Layla said your motto was, if at first you don't succeed, kill whoever stopped you the first time very slowly, and try again" he grinned "she's right there"
…
Ok I know he probably wouldn't have told her, and she probably wouldn't have even asked but I'm kind of in a weird mood today and their conversation kind of made me laugh so oh well. Please review they make me happy and a happy writer is a writer who writes….. Like I said I'm in a weird mood.
