"I see that you three have been busy." He noticed that the girls had reorganized his cave.
"Someone has been busy. I can see that Angel is near the Slayer. Oh, what fun we shall have."
Darla rolled her eyes. " Did you get the supplies we need, William?" Darla smiled at Spike, who
cringed when she called him that name.*
"Spike..." Harmony's cries sounded even more annoying.
"Yeah, I got the supplies, ducks. Hold on for a second or two, while I get settled." He hung up his leather jacket on the coat rack, but not before wrapping his arm tightly around Drusilla's waist.
Harmony glared angrily at Drusilla, when Darla whispered;
Harmony glared angrily at Drusilla. Darla noticed the younger vampiress' glare and decided to
intervene before her plan could be ruined. "No, remember the plan Harmony. Spike and Drusilla are secondary. I'll give you Spike and keep Drusilla away from him."
*"Fine." She muttered, wishing she could kill the psychotic bitch.

"Everything's going to be okay, Buffy." Angel hugged Buffy tightly.
"I really don't know how to deal with Darla being alive and working with Drusilla. Please explain to me how it's possible that she's alive." Buffy faced him with her tear stained face. "You staked her Angel, I saw it." She placed her head against his shoulder.
"Buffy," He soothingly whispered into her ear, "it's hard to believe. I flipped when I saw that my sire was alive." He knew how hard of a time she was going through.
She looked at him with her jade eyes "You ever feel like the world is closing in on you. Well, with my mom, Glory and Dawn, it's been a little overwhelming. Now I hear that Darla is alive..." She couldn't talk anymore as she broke into even more tears.
"Buffy, what's wrong with Dawn?" He lifted her chin up, and saw that she still trusted him.
Buffy took a heavy breath, "Dawn is not my sister, Angel." She told him.
"What?" Angel was flabbergasted by her announcement.

"You don't like Angel very much do you Riley?" Dawn asked as she noticed that his eyes were
transfixed on her sister and Angel, not on their conversation.*
"Well he's her ex for one thing, and a vampire." He decided to change the topic of conversation.
"So how are you doing, kiddo?"
"I'm worried about my mom. You ever ask yourself why there's nothing you can do to help the ones you love, Riley?" Dawn looked up at him, trying to hold back the tears.
"Hey kiddo, cheer up. You got to have faith in your mom." He smiled at her. "She's a fighter like
yourself." He tried to reassure Dawn.
"Thanks, I needed that." She smiled at him, then grabbed her mother's hand.

"So, this is where you grew up, Cordelia? It seems like a peaceful little town." Gunn took a sip out of his coffee.
"Yeah, well nothing is ever peaceful when you go to a school over a hellmouth."
"What?" Gunn seemed a little taken back.
"A Hellmouth, Gunn. The hellmouth is a center of mystical convergence or some crap like that." She didn't even realize that they were walking by the old school. Her face went a pale shade of white.
"Cordelia, what's wrong?" Gunn asked as he noticed how white her face got.
"I went to high school here, before it was demolished." Cordelia felt very uneasy looking at it.
