Buffy had been back a few weeks but something was off. She seemed happy but Dean would catch her staring off into space over something, and her dreams were getting to her. He decided to talk to her this evening on patrol.

They were walking thru a cemetery when Dean stopped her.

"Are you ok Buff?"

She nodded. "I'm still adjusting. I know what Willow and the others did was in good intentions but ... They have no clue."

"So tell me."

Buffy contemplated and was gonna tell Dean everything but a group of Vampires interrupted. When they made it back to the magic shop Buffy leaned against the front counter while Dean sat at the table and put his feet up.

"Was there much action tonight?" Giles asked.

"Nothing real bad." Dean picked up a book "is something going on?"

"Just keeping things up to date in case."

Willow saw Buffy staring off into space. "Buffy?"

"I think I'm gonna head home...I'm tired." she left without a goodbye and Giles looked at Dean.

"Is she getting any better?"

"Giles somethings wrong, I just don't know what. She won't talk to me."

Buffy was just walking not really wanting to go home or anywhere in particular. She didn't even hear the footsteps behind her until she was tackled down to the ground. She fought whatever it was off easy and stood up in a fighting stance when she froze.

"Angel?..."

He growled and ran off. She attempted to follow but lost him. She didn't know what to think and then Willow came to mind, and she found herself running back to the magic shop.

She barged thru the door and straight to Willow.

"Did you do it? Did you bring him back too?"

Willow didn't know what to say. "Buffy, what?..."

"Angel! Did you bring him back too? Are you screwing with me?"

"Buffy I swear I didn't do anything..."

"You can't keep messing with these magics Will. You rip me from heaven, from peace, and now Angel from hell. You could have brought..."

"Heaven? Buffy, you were in heaven?"

She looked at Giles and then at her friends as they all looked at her.

"Yes. I was in heaven. I was happy, at peace. I knew everyone I loved was ok, and I could finally just rest. My job was done. Then I open my eyes and I'm back where there's violence,and pain."

Willow had tears in her eyes while Buffy felt Dean put a comforting hand on her back. Buffy took a deep breath.

"I love you all I accept that I'm back. But Angel..."

"Buffy I swear.. "

"Then how is he back?" She looked at Giles for an answer.

This was gonna take research so Dean called Sam and Bobby in to help and he and Buffy went to see if the could find the Vampire.
