Almost an hour later, Angel and Buffy finally walked out of the room. When they walked out, they saw that everyone had gathered around the couch, chatting away. The Angel Investigations crew had blended in perfectly with the Sunnydale Scooby Gang. When Buffy and Angel met eyes, they were both thinking the same thing. It was like just old times.
"Hey guys," Angel spoke up, walking out into the middle of the room. "It's about time to go. Sun's rising in a few hours."
"Thank God," Gunn sighed. "It'll be nice to get back to LA."
"Here, here." Wesley agreed, standing up beside Gunn and stretching.
Buffy moved away from Angel, walking away from the group and going to stand by the door. She figured that Angel would just say good-bye to everyone by himself.
After saying goodbye to Willow, Tara, Anya, even Xander, and giving a slight hug to Dawn, Angel walked over to Giles. Neither of the two was sure what to say or do. After all, Angelus had still killed Giles' girlfriend about 3 years ago. However, Giles had completely forgiven him. Angel took Giles' open hand and shook it.
"It was a pleasure seeing you again, Giles."
"Yes, it was. Please, feel free to drop by again more often." Giles' spoke.
Angel looked back behind him towards Buffy. "I don't think that will be a problem." He replied, smiling back towards Buffy. Buffy blushed from what he said.
Angel turned and began walking out the door behind Cordelia, Gunn, and Wesley. "I don't believe this," Cordelia complained as she walked out. "We didn't even need to come at all. What a waste of gas and sleep." She moaned. Gunn and Wesley only grinned at each other and followed her out to the car.
When Angel walked to the doorway, he walked over to Buffy, who stood waiting for him. Angel took her hands and bumped his forehead against her's. Angel rested his forehead against hers now, looking at her straight in the eyes. "I love you," he whispered down to her. Both of them heard the room fell dead silent, but the two only concentrated on each other. "I'm never letting you go, ever again."
"Good." Buffy replied. "Because I really love you...my Angel." Buffy replied, just as softly as he had spoken.
"I'll call you soon, okay?" Angel asked her.
Buffy brightened instantly. Angel's going to call me... she processed in her head. "Okay, sounds good to me." She replied.
"I love you." Angel whispered once more, before kissing her forehead. With one last loving look back at his beauty, Angel headed out the door, closing it silently behind him.
Buffy stood there a second before spinning back around to face everyone. A giant smile was plastered across her face as she looked at the surprised expressions on everyone's faces. Willow, Xander, and Dawn looked as though they had just seen Buffy grow a third head. Everyone else was just dumbfounded.
Never in their dreams did anyone ever think that there would be a Buffy *and* Angel again. Everyone, including Buffy's new friends, thought that their love had gone through everything and had been lost. Died out.
But no, everyone was completely wrong- even Buffy. Inwardly, everyone was pleased with Buffy, because now everyone knew that if Buffy and Angel's love could resume anew, then they could beat everything that stood in their way.
"What?" Buffy asked towards her friends, who were still shocked.
"So..." Willow started, "are we back to a 'wow' potential?"
Buffy nodded and burst out laughing. God, it felt SO good to finally be able to laugh. All she had done was cry in the last 48 hours. Now, she was so happy. Words couldn't even describe it.
She looked at her friends and was thinking about Angel as she answered. "Yeah. I think so."
