**Back to present**

Buffy and Xander walked through the cemetary together waiting impatiently for some vampires to make their presence known.
"So...Buff, you been enjoying your computer?"
"Yeah, I really never knew how much fun it is. Did you know hours feel like minutes when you are on the internet?"
"So it seems, Dawn said as soon as you finish patrol you are on the net till early in the morning. What exactly are you doing anyway?"
"Actually I'm in a chatroom most of the time." Buffy sat down on one of the headstones Xander sitting on the one next to her. "It's pretty interesting the different people you run across."
"Oh meet anyone in particular?"
"Actually yes...I have met a guy...he lives here in California...that's about all I know about him."
"Need I remind you what happened to Willow when she went into an internet relationship?"
"It's nothing like that Xander, we are just friends..." Buffy ran her fingers through her hair looking at her watch.
"This might sound awkward, but why is he up so late? I know you have a reason since you are out patrolling till late...but why him?"
"I don't know I never really asked...The first time we talked it was just before dark, now it seems we only meet at that time."
"Oh...well that's interesting." Getting up off the gravestone Xander stuffed his hands into his pockets turning back to Buffy. "Just don't get attached to this one...It could lead to trouble."
"Yeah I know Xander...I won't do anything I don't normally do." With a smile she stood, she and Xander resuming their stroll interweaving through the tombstones.

***Later that Night**

Buffy sat down at her laptop flipping it on and waited patiently for it to boot up. It wasn't until she used this that she realized why Willow was so interested in computers, not only where they convenient; they were fun.
Pulling up her browser she quickly logged into Chat Underground and signed in as VaMpYrEkIlLa. Scrolling down the list of people in the room she smiled when she saw him. Double clicking his name she quickly typed in a hello.
(VaMpYrEkIlLa): Hey Angel how is it going tonight?
(Soulful_Angel): Hey, not to bad, just got in figured I would pop and and see if you were on. Do anything interesting tonight?
(VaMpYrEkIlLa): Nah I just took a walk with one of my friends. Hey I was wondering...what do you do that allows you to be online so early int he morning?
(Soulful_Angel): I'm a detective, there is a computer at my desk and when I get some free time I come on here...unfortunatly that time is at these strange hours.
(VaMpYrEkIlLa): Detective huh, that's pretty interesting.
(Soulful_Angel): What about you, you never told me what you do...

Buffy sat staring at her screen. This was the only thing she hadn't covered with excuses. Why was she up until all hours. Tapping her fingers on the keys she quickly thought up an excuse.
(VaMpYrEkIlLa): I work a club and this is when it closes...
(Soulful_Angel): Do you tend bar or something?
(VaMpYrEkIlLa): You could say that yeah.

Though she felt bad about lying sometimes it was true she spent alot of time at The Bronze with her friends and after patrol they would stop by for a drink. So if buying a drink was anything like tending bar it was good enough for her.
Buffy actually felt odd to the fact that lying to a complete stranger bothered her. Though they had been talking for a few weeks there was still alot she didn't know...though lying was still an issue with her. Not like she'd ever meet him in real life anyway...

**Los Angeles**

Angel looked away from the computer when Gunn and Cordelia walked through the room. "What are you two still doing here it's really late."
"Don't worry Angel we're leaving." Cordelia said with a yawn. "What have you been doing on that thing till all hours of the night anyway?" Leaning over his shoulder Cordelia saw the chatroom moving before her eyes.
"So Angel visits chatrooms" Gunn said from the front leaning back across the desk. "I hear they are very addicting. Though I've never truly visited one myself"
"I've chatted there a few times but I'm never on it long enough to meet any interesting people...How about you Angel...have you met anyone interesting?" Cordelia waited impatiently for Angel to finish typing for him to respond.
"Actually I have, the first night I went in I met a girl." Angel looked back at the screen and typed a quick response before going back to his story. "She lives here in California and she works at club that's all I can tell you about her."
"You mean you don't even know her real name yet?" Gunn asked.
"No we are trying to keep things off a personal level...but she is very interesting. Though I have only been talking to her for a couple of weeks.
"Well don't make us warn you about the dangers of the internet Angel..." Cordelia through on a coat as she made her way to the door. "So have fun..." With a half smile Cordelia and Gunn left leaving Angel alone with the computer.
(VaMpYrEkIlLa): Hello?
(Soulful_Angel): Sorry, a couple of my friends decided they wanted to hassel me about chatting.
(VaMpYrEkIlLa): God my friend did that today...gave me the whole "Dangers of the interenet" speech.
(Soulful_Angel): Mine was heading that way but because they were tired I got the "Don't make me tell you about he dangers of the internet..."
(VaMpYrEkIlLa): Geez they sound so much alike...
(Soulful_Angel): Tell me about it...so if you don't mind...tell me about yourself...anything big happen to you lately?

Buffy blinked at the screen. So much stuff has happend in this past year that it's not funny...First the appearence of a sister and then her mother getting cancer which led to her...Buffy couldn't even think it...why would she tell this person. Though something told her she could tell this person and they wouldn't do anything to condem her.
(VaMpYrEkIlLa): Actually yeah I've had a quite the busy year...
(Soulful_Angel): Oh, how busy?
(VaMpYrEkIlLa): Earlier this year my mother got cancer...brain tumor actually...
(Soulful_Angel): Oh I'm sorry to hear that, you don't have to talk about it if you don't want to. Do you have any brothers or sisters?
(VaMpYrEkIlLa): Yeah I have one younger sister...no brothers...What about you?
(Soulful_Angel): I did...but...they were killed in a car crash.

Angel cursed himself inside for lying like that, but what was he gonna say...Yeah but I killed them about 220 years ago?
(VaMpYrEkIlLa):I'm sorry, it seems we both have had some pretty tragic pasts. My tragidies go far beyond this past year though...it pretty much started when I was 15...
(Soulful_Angel): Yeah you can say my past is...tragic...Why what happend when you were 15?
(VaMpYrEkIlLa): Nothing to big really, I was forced to pick up and move to a new school...and ever since then it just got completely tragic.
(Soulful_Angel): If you don't mind me asking...how?
(VaMpYrEkIlLa): Well the principal at the new school never really liked me to much so it was always hell there...then my love life isn't much to be counted...now with the whole cancer thing it's really hard on my sister...I have to be the strong one you know?
(Soulful_Angel): I understand...sometimes it is just hard being the strong one...and when you start to hurt it's like there is nobody around to help you out.
(VaMpYrEkIlLa): I know exactly how you feel...the one who can help me unfortunatly no longer lives here...Though they was here for a little bit it wasn't really enough to help me out completely.
(Soulful_Angel): What about your friends...don't they help you any?
(VaMpYrEkIlLa): Oh they help but sometimes they just can't help me...You see out of everyone, I'm the strong one...I am the stable one...but now i'm not so sure...
(Soulful_Angel): I wish I could help you...but I'm sure you will come through it fine in the end...Look I'm sorry to cut this short but I better get going. Work is over in a few minutes.
(VaMpYrEkIlLa): Okay talk to you tomorrow?
(Soulful_Angel): Sure see you then.
(Soulful_Angel has logged off)
(VaMpYrEkIlLa has logged off)

Buffy sat staring at her computer not able to truly believe she told him some of the things she did. Sure she didn't bring up the death of her mother, it was almost like it was a hidden understanding...like he had been through some similar problems. Shutting down her browser she closed the laptop.
Walking over to her closet she grabbed a tank top and a pair of wind pants and quickly changed into them. Sitting at the edge of her bed she opened up the drawer and pulled out a little blue poutch.
Loosening the drawstrings she dumped the contents onto her bed. Two pieces of jewelery sat shining up at her in the moonlight. One a simple silver cross, the other a silver claddah ring. Holding up the ring to her eyelevel she ran her fingers along the hands and over the heart before placing it back into the pouch with the cross. Slipping it back into the draw Buffy slipped under the covers and slowly drifted off to sleep.
