Part 4

One hour later- a coffee Shop.

The four of them were sitting in a corner booth talking about the first day on a new job.

"Yeah Buffy and Willow. I'm sure that they are the same names that Alex has been calling in his sleep." Rob said

"These two must have something else about them something that makes Alex remember more than anything." Replied gabby

"Maybe he was involved with one of them or something" murmured Rob

He got a slap upside the head from gabby for that and she snuggled into his arms, the two of them had finally got together a few days before and were happy with their new relationship apart from a little ribbing by the rest of the group. The two of them were totally infatuated with each other and they looked it. John shot a 'were we ever like that' look at Stacy and she replied with a "Probably worse" look. She smiled and looked back at the canoodling duo.

"So what do we do about this guys if they have something to do with Alex do we tell him or do we leave him alone and let him find out himself."

Rob looked up "I'm not sure but with this party tonight its likely that he'll meet them anyway so we should just let him be and if anything happens we'll sort it out then."

"I hope your right my friend I hope your right."

"So do I


Same time Buffy's and Faith's dorm room


"So who's going to the party tonight then" asked Willow, "Riley asked us all to go." The four girls were sitting around the room, Faith and Buffy were sorting the room out while Amy and Willow were talking.

"A party I'm up for that." Exclaimed Faith, "All those college guys and fraternities especially those cute ones In Lowell house. I can't wait."

"I'm in too I saw one of them only from the back but wow. Short Dark hair and really Buff." Replied Buffy.

"I saw another one" said Amy, "Over Six foot, brown hair hazel eyes. He's mine."

"Too late Amy he's in our psyce class. He's already married." Replied willow

"Oh shit..."

"He's English and here on a scholarship."

"There goes that then."

"What about oz" asked Buffy "Is he coming tonight"

"Yeah he's just helping Giles with some stuff at the moment, the explosion only damaged one wall. It'll be up and running soon. Oz'll be back tonight and we'll finally get to spend some time together." Willow replied looking at the diamond engagement ring on her finger.

"Your really happy about that aren't you." Asked Amy

Over the last year and a half Amy and Willow had become close friends closer than she had been with Buffy. Buffy had been the same with Faith; they had grown distant over the time since Xander had disappeared. Giles had admitted that he had received regular letters from Xander until about Six months ago and then nothing. Their worst fear was that he had been killed by something, it seemed that had been the case when most of his stuff had arrived on the steps of Giles' house five months ago. Willow and Buffy had split apart for almost the entire summer after that happened. It was only thanks to Faith, Amy and a particularly nasty Bugman- the male equivalent of Mantis lady that had almost killed Buffy. After that they had started talking to each other but it would take a very long time to get back to where they were if they ever were.

"Yeah I can't believe I'm getting married in a few months." She saddened slightly as she thought. Amy knew what she was thinking instantly, it was the same thing she had thought everyday since she accepted Oz's Proposal a few moths ago. Willow started to cry on her friend's shoulder.

"Shh I know he would like to be here for the wedding, he loved you as well he wouldn't miss this if he could help it."

"Yeah I know." She laughed slightly, "I should be happy but I can't help thinking I should have done something."

"Willow look at me, LOOK at me" Said Amy sternly, "We did everything we could even location spells. Now we know he's alive otherwise it wouldn't have even looked for him so we know he's alive somewhere and we will find him. It'll just take a while."

"Yeah Ok, Lets get ready for this party then shall we


Lowell House one hour later

"Come on do this please."

"No."


"Come on Alex, Me Chip and Steve are doing it with you that make the four needed. Come on it's our first night on campus."

"No."

John Frowned and then grinned. "Oh yes you will and I know why."

"Oh really Why?"

"New York."

Alex's eyes widened like saucers. "You wouldn't."
"Blackmail is sweet isn't it Commander."

"You are a complete bastard you know that don't you John."

"Umm, Yes"

"Alright but only tonight. Never again OK."

"OK." He took a deep breath. "He'll do it guys." He shouted.

"About time." They shouted back.

"Let's get started then."
