Forgotten Memory, Forgotten Love (Chapter 1)
Buffy/Angel Crossover
By obi's girl
Timeframe: preferably at the end of Season 5 of both Buffy/Angel - when all of Buffy's memory is restored along with a forgotten memory of the day she met Angel, about his secret visit to her on Thanksgiving...
The blonde nodded her defiantly, trying to hold back the tears. Everything that happened, everything that was - was going to be thrown away. She gazed up at her love. It was wrong. They had waited so long and now, everything was they way it should have been - he was taking it away from her. It was selfish. Damn selfish. "How much time?"
Angel gazed at the clock, "In a minute."
Buffy's glazed eyes stared back at him. "Minute? No, Angel. It isn't enough time!"
He ran over, taking her into his arms. She nodded again, chanting, "How am I am supposed to go on with my life, after what we had, what we could have had?"
"You won't. The oracles are giving us back a day. You won't remember anything."
Tears were beginning to form in her eyes of blue. "Everything we did?"
Angel nodded, "It never happened."
She began to nod her head like a child, "It did. I know it did." Finally, she let in and reached for his chest, "I felt your heart beat." And felt his mouth kiss her one last time, only there was sadness in that kiss, deep sadness...

"Buffy?"
The Slayer turned her watcher and smiled innocently, "What?"
Giles frowned, "Did you hear anything I said?"
She shrugged, sitting Indian style in her chair. "Uh huh. You said - uh- sorry!"
He looked at her disapprovingly, but sat down anyway. It wasn't like Buffy to drift off and daydream during an important lecture, especially regarding the Councils' threats and how they should act against it - unless she was having a memory flash. "Um, it doesn't matter."
Buffy raised an eyebrow at him, smiling a bit, "Doesn't matter? Giles, I've never heard you say that before." She paused, "Are you on drugs or something?"
The Englishman laughed, nodding no, "Actually, I'm more interested in where you were just now."
She shrugged again, "I can't really say." Buffy stood up, pacing about, "I don't know if it was real or a fantasy of mine or a long forgotten memory,"
Giles fidgeted, "Um, does this no-name dream have to do with Angel?"
The blonde turned around, nodding. "I don't know how to interpret it, except that Angel was human...and we were together without any consequences." She laughed, "but that's impossible since he's cursed and there are consequences."
He removed his glasses, "Well, you could talk to Angel - go to LA and confront him about it. Maybe he'll know what it means or it happened or if it was the future."
"Happened?"
Giles shrugged, "Buffy, you did love him once. It's no surprise you had this dream. With Riley gone and Angel in LA...."
"I'll fall to despair and dream about things that can never be?" Buffy completed. "Giles, it wasn't just a dream or a fantasy."
He frowned, "Are you saying it was real?"
She threw up her arms, "I'm not saying it was real, it just...I don't know. I know it's impossible, but there could have been a loophole or something. Maybe it was in an alternate reality,"
"Or maybe we're straying too far off topic,"
"No. I have to know what it means." Buffy grabbed her coat, "Giles, I think this is something bigger. Much bigger, something I'm just beginning to remember after Willow's Memory spell. I have to know what it means."
"You're going to LA?"
Buffy lightly smiled at him. "I have too. It's the only place I can find answers about this." And she disappeared from the Magic shop.
