Part 3: Bad Side
"So, Dead Boy's not dead anymore," Xander commented slowly. The Scoobies were assembled in the library, and had been told the great news. In fact they'd seen it. Angel and Buffy had strolled in through the doors with blatant disregard for sunlight.
"Indeed," Giles murmured in reply, still staring in shock at Angel, and the new pink glow in his cheeks. Buffy broke the tense silence.
"Anywho. Now that you all know Angel and I are going to take a little walk in the sunshine," she declared. Angel smiled as he offered her his arm, and they left the library, leaving the others in stunned astonishment.
The park was bustling despite the time of day. The junior school had organised some kind of field trip and there were young children running about everywhere. Buffy and Angel walked arm in arm like the perfect couple, laughing with each other in the summer sunshine. As they passed under a tree, Angel suddenly felt dizzy.
"Wait up Buffy. I don't feel too good," he told. She led him to a bench which they sat on.
"Must be all the sunshine. You're not used to it," Buffy joked. Angel smiled slightly, before clutching at his head in pain. Buffy bent down with him, but slowly he sat back up. "You okay Angel?" Buffy asked in concern. Angel turned his head to her, and gave her wicked smile.
"I'm just fine, lover," he replied with a leer. Buffy looked horrified, and shook her head to deny what she could see.
"Angel, tha...that's not funny," she said weakly, tears already coming to her eyes.
"Aww, poor Buff. Crying cos her li'l dream came to an end," he taunted, "Well guess what, lover. Angelus is damn hard to be rid of, and don't you forget it!" With that he walked off, calm as ever, flirting with two girls as they passed him on the path. Tears rolled down Buffy's cheeks as she got off the bench and ran home.
