oooooooooooo Here's the new chapter. Review and enjoy!

"Gem of Amarra? Didn't Angel destroy that?" Dawn asked, shocked.

"Yeah, he did. But I'm telling you, I'm pretty sure this is it," Buffy insisted.

Angel and Giles hurried back into the room.

"Are you guys okay?"

"We're fine, I just need you guys to tell me what I'm holding in my hands, because I think it's the Gem of Amarra," Buffy said, handing the ring to Giles.

Angel looked really confused. "That's the Gem alright, at least to my eyes, but I destroyed that thing."

"Apparently not," Giles said, fascinated. "This is the Gem of Amarra."

"Absolutely? For real?" Dawn asked.

"Yes, but I have no idea how it got here," Giles said.

"It kinda just popped out of thin air, in front of Buffy," Dawn said.

"I don't know if I like this too much," Giles said, worriedly. "What if it's all a bad plan from the other side?"

"It's not," Buffy answered.

"How can you be so sure?" Angel wondered.

"Just trust me on this one," Buffy insisted. "I feel like I've been going crazy, but I've been seeing things and hearing things in my dreams that aren't just me dreaming. I've seen things that were gonna happen, L.A. for perfect example. I saw you, Angel. I saw everything. That wasn't your typical dream."

Angel nodded.

"And remember when that sword poisoned my blood and almost killed me?" she asked.

"Yeah," Angel nodded.

"When you were gone to get whatever you needed to save me, I thought I was dead, but I wasn't. Then I thought I was dreaming. There was a voice that pretty much told me what was going to happen. The voice told me about the cure, and it said that my cure would probably kill you. The voice was how I knew not to take all the blood, and the voice was the one who said to suffer for a few hours.

"We got through that because I was told in my dreams, or whatever you want to call it. The voice also said to believe what I would see, even if I couldn't understand. It said that the impossible wasn't impossible anymore. And I'm gonna believe that."

"Okay," Angel said. "If you're sure, that's good enough for me."

"The big powers, and not the evil ones, they're trying to help us win this fight," Buffy said. "That's what I think."

"The ring means good things for you two," Giles said to Buffy and Angel. "Angel, as long as you wear the gem, you two can travel by daylight. It will definitely ease up your trip quite a bit."

"Okay, now that we know what that is, for sure, I say we get out of here. I'm hungry. And I want to get down to the kitchen before the others start to get here and take all the good stuff," Dawn said, ending the discussion, heading out the door.

"Now that you mention it, I am rather hungry," Giles said, following Dawn.

"We'll meet you in a bit," Buffy called after them.

"You're not hungry?" Angel asked her.

"No, I am, but so are you. Let's go get you something. There's a butcher not too far from here... You better put that ring on, you and me are gonna take a walk," Buffy smiled, pulling him out the door with her.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Buffy couldn't believe that she was actually outside, in the sun, with Angel. She couldn't stop staring at him.

"Hey, what's up?" he asked her.

"Nothing," she said with a little laugh. "It's just... I'm seeing you in the sunlight. It's stupid, I know, but it's beautiful, and it's something I used to imagine all the time."

"I know what you mean because I used to think about the same thing a lot, too," he told her.

"Okay then, now that that's been said," Buffy laughed, "you go get what you need from there," Buffy said, pointing to the butcher shop, "and I'm gonna grab something from the bakery. I'll meet you back here in a few minutes," she said, kissing him quickly walking off to the bakery.

She walked away quickly because she felt tears coming on. She was with Angel, out in the sun, in beautiful Rome. It was a miracle. It was beautiful, and it made her more happy than she could explain, and that's what brought on the mini-breakdown.

Why couldn't this happen, and Willow and Xander still be there? Why did her friends have to be gone?

I wish you were here Will. I wish you could see this. I wish Xander was here so I could seethe look on his face. Faith would definitely get a kick out of seeing Angel in the sun too.

Buffy closed her eyes, and never let any tears fall, because Willow and Xander would not want her crying.

She picked up a few danishes at the bakery and met Angel a few minutes later.

"So tomorrow, are we leaving in the morning?" Angel asked her.

"Yeah, but I'm thinking early, when it's still kind of dark out. Giles said, there probably won't be trouble for months, but just in case, I don't want to make our exit a big production. We don't need anyone knowing unnecessarily, just in case."

"Works for me," Angel told her. "Where did you want to start, though?" Angel asked, as they headed back into the Fortress.

"I'm thinking we start with finding Oz. It's going to take awhile though. He's somewhere in Peru... Then I was thinking we try to find this coven of witches Willow knew. She said they were really powerful. There's others too, but we can find them later, when we really need them."

"I hope one of those is for me," Dawn said, grabbing a danish.

"Me too?" Giles said.

"Yeah I got you one too, Giles," Buffy laughed.

"This is so much better than the Pop Tarts in the kitchen," Dawn said, with her mouth full.

Fussing over breakfast foods, if only life was really this simple. Buffy looked at her sister and smiled. What the hell, she would enjoy the simplicity of the day. Tomorrow was a whole different story.

Tomorrow a whole new journey would begin.
