Buffy sat curled up on her bed with the phone propped between her ear and shoulder. "Yeah you should have seen his face. It was classic." Scrunching up her nose Buffy laughed. "Angel! I can't believe you just said that!" Buffy brought her hand to her mouth holding in the laughter. "Well I sure hope not but if he does he will have to deal with me...Okay and you too..." Buffy switched the phone to her opposite ear. "So who is coming this weekend...Everyone, okay then I'll tell the gang...Yeah I did read some of it...No I didn't get very far, but my sister and I sort of skipped to the end...To say I was surprised was a complete understatement, Angel. No, of course I'm not mad. Dawn actually made me realize why you did was you did just before you called. I only wish I could truly share the memories with you. No Angel don't apologize, it's not your fault!...Yeah? Okay call me tomorrow?" Buffy smiled as she clicked the phone off placing it on her desk.
"Geez Buffy I thought you were never gonna get off the phone!" Dawn said with a smirk from the doorway.
"What can I say, we just couldn't stop talking"
"Obviusly...Is it gonna be like this everyday now? You and Angel talking for hours one the phone?"
"Well, no...there will be times when he is here...Speaking of we are gonna have company this weekend..."
"Angel?"
"Yeah Angel and his entire crew are coming here for the weekend to hang out...you know for old times. So they are gonna stay with us here."
"That's kewl, I haven't seen Cordy in awhile, it will be good to talk to her again."
"Definatly, so that means we are gonna have to do some shopping to prepare for their arrival."
"Of course...Do the others know yet?"
"No I was hoping to tell them tonight."

Buffy leaned into the door watching as Willow put some of the little stuff around the room in boxes. "Yeah he's bringing the whole crew with him this weekend, figured we could go bronzing."
"That would definatly be great Buffy...the whole scooby gang together one last time...before we all pack up and move away."
"Did you find a place yet?"
"We are set up to look at a few places but nothing is final yet."
"Where are the places?"
"About and hour out of LA, which shouldn't be that bad."
"No that would be great!"
"Yeah I can't wait...Does anybody else know about you being back with Angel?"
"No so far only you and Dawn...Hey Willow?" Buffy moved in and sat on the bed. "Do you think it's possible for days to just...vanish?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Well Angel gave me his diary...and his last entry...well it was about a day that I don't remember happening...I guess it happened when I was in LA over thanksgiving...Angel was supposidly human...but I forgot..."
Well that explains it..."
Buffy looked up blinking. "Explains what?"
"Well there was one night after you got back you were crying in your sleep and yelling something about never forgetting. I really never thought anything of it...but as soon as you said you forgot I made the connection...Of course when I asked you the next morning I asked what you weren't wanting to forget you just stared at me blankly"
"Could it have possibly been that I was still half asleep?
"That's possible too..." Willow said as they broke into a giggle.
"I'm gonna go over to Giles, you want to come with?"
"Sure...give me a reason to take a break." Willow laughed and closed the box she was in the process of filling.

That Weekend

Riley sat at the computer screen and shook his head as he opened up the google search engine yet again. I was determined more then ever to find out what the ring ment. Riley's eyes widened as he read a page talking about what the ring represents.
'The traditional wedding ring of the Irish of the 17th century, the Royal Claddagh ring is worn by people all over the world as a universal symbol of love, loyalty, friendship and fidelity. For love we wear the heart. In friendship, we wear the hands. And, in loyalty and lasting fidelity; we wear the Royal Claddagh crown.
Worn on the right hand, with the crown and heart facing out, the ring tells that the wearer's heart is yet to be won. While under love's spell it is worn with heart and crown facing inwards. Wearing the heart on the left hand, with the crown and heart facing out, signifies that your love has been requited.'
Of the entire passage the word that stuck out the most was wedding. Riley knew Angel knew what the ring signified, that was what he would use against him. With a smirk Riley closed down the computer. Now all he had to do was find Buffy...being it was a saturday night there was only a few places where she would be. "Here's hoping."

Buffy and the others sat at their old table waiting patiently for the Angel and the others to show. Sure Buffy made sure they were there almost exactly at sundown, but she was still getting antsy. It had been a week since she last saw Angel and she really wanted to see him again. Buffy chuckled to herself as she remembered Giles and Xanders response to her telling them that she and Angel had gotten back together. Sure they were uneasy about it at first...and of course Xander didn't keep his opinions to himself in this instance...they also understood.
Buffy's eyes were concentrated on the door when she saw Riley come barging in. "Why does it have to be tonight?" Buffy said rolling her eyes. "Of all nights he picks to night."
"Who Buffy?" Xander asked.
"Riley..." Buffy tried to hide herself behind her friends but Riley still came marching over to their table. "What is it Riley I don't have time tonight..."
"How...do you have any idea what that ring means?"
"Of course I do...it means I belong to Angel, he told me when he gave it to me..."
"That's not all it means Buffy...it means ALOT more then that."
"Oh really and do you care to shed some light on what it means...Riley." Angel's voice came from behind Riley as he walked around him to get to Buffy. "I'm sure she'd love to know." Angel smirked and kissed Buffy before turning back to Riley.
Riley looked between Angel and Buffy and the anger grew. "Well...by wearing the ring the way you are it means you..."
"Geez would you just spit it out already." Cordelia snapped.
"It's a wedding ring!" Riley yelled.
Buffy only smiled and looked up at Angel. "You think I didn't know that Riley? Willow told me after she saw the ring. There was only one thing we didn't do."
"Oh and what was that?" Riley said putting his hands forcebly on his hips.
"Say the vows." Angel answered before looking away from Buffy. "Now tell me Riley, what do you plan on doing about it, because I'd like to hang out with my friends if you don't mind. I didn't just drive all the way here for nothing."
"I...I..this isn't over!" Just as he finished a hand clocked him on the back of the head.
"That's where you are wrong...you're such a bloody wanker...don't even try to come between those two...It will never happen." The bleached blond vampire walked up and stood next to the others. "Why Angelus, long time no see."
Angel just rolled his eyes. "The name is Angel, Spike...What exactly are you doing here anyway?"
"Oh don't you know? I'm one of the scoobies now..."
"Yeah sure Spike."
"He's kind of what you would call a silent partner." Willow say laughing.
"See even Red says I belong here." Spike smirked as he took the empty seat.
Rileys jaw sat agape as she shook his head at the scene. The Slayer sitting and talking with not one but two vampires! Sure he had gotten used to Spike but Angel was a different story. At least Spike was neutered from hurting other people. That and the simple fact remained that Buffy and Angel were...Riley shook his head again and stormed out of the Bronze finally leaving the group alone.
"Who was that idiot?" Gunn asked as he watched Riley's retreating form.
"That would be blondies ex boyfriend." Spike spoke up. "Just when we thought we were rid of him I see he has to come and stir shit up again." Spike pulled out a pack of cigerettes liting one and placing it gently to his lips. "And who might you be?"
"Oh this is Gunn." Cordelia motioned. Taking the time Cordelia pointed out who everyone was along with their role in the scooby gang. After greetings were exchanged everyone sat around talking and having a few drinks while Angel and Buffy danced slowly out in the center of the dance floor.
"This is like a dream isn't it Angel?" Buffy smiled as she leaned into Angel's chest.
"Of course it is. About those vows Buffy..." Buffy looked up and peered into Angel's hypnotizing eyes.
"Yeah?"
"I promise you one day we will share them." Angel leaned down over Buffy kissing her gently on the lips before pulling her ringed hand close to his lips kissing the top of her ring.
Buffy smiled her eyes fogged over with happiness. "I just wanted to thank you for leaving it on my pillow that night."
"Well I couldn't leave Sunnydale without something for you to remember me by. All I could hope for was that you would keep it."
"Of couse I would keep it. It was one of the first things you acutally gave me. I mean besides the cross and the jacket and..." Buffy was silenced when she heard Angel chuckling beside her. "What's so funny?"
"You are.."
Buffy stuck out her pouty lips as he chuckled before leaning in and kissing her. "Did you know you are cute when you pout?"
Buffy smiled wrinkling her nose playfully. "Why do you think I did it." The couple laughed as they began to walk off the dance floor. "Come on the gang is probably sick of watching us dance."
