The Given Gift

A/N: This is the second to last chapter. Please R + R.

"Hi guys, and yes I'm dead so don't freak out."

"Let me guess, you're a ghost. My house mate, Dennis, is a ghost and he's pretty cool."

"Why's he a ghost?"

"His mom hated his girl friend so she built a wall around him and he died in it."

"So is it unfinished business."

"Either that or the fact of his untimely death, or it could be a mix of the three."

            Angel, Oz, and Wesley were staring at Buffy. They were all thinking the same exact thing. None of them could believe that Buffy Summers, the Slayer, their friend, was a ghost. Cordelia was totally cool with it; she had no problem with it because she had been living with one for a while. Then Oz broke the silence.

"So what's it been like around here lately?"

"It was hard and hectic when Glory was around but now things are starting to slow down."

"Oz can I talk to you alone?" asked Willow.

"Sure," said Oz as the two walked into the kitchen.

            After the former couple walked into the kitchen the room was silent.

"Well we could do research on why you're a ghost," said Wesley.

"That's one of the reasons I'm not telling Giles," yelled Buffy.

"So who's Glory," asked Angel.

"Glory was a hellgod that got exiled to our happy little hellmouth dimension."

"Oh, okay."

"Spike is good, Dawn's the Key, and to top it all off, Buffy's a ghost. Yeah I'm definitely back in good old Sunnydale," laughed Cordelia.

            15 minutes later Angel, Cordelia, and Wesley left for L. A. Oz and Willow were still talking, Tara was reading one of her books, Dawn was looking through her closet for an outfit to wear to school the next day, and Spike was talking with Buffy in Buffy's room.

"Spike, do you ever wonder what would have happened if you never met Drusilla?"

"Never thought about it Love."

""I'm so glad that I met you."

"I know what you mean."

            With that the looked at each other and then looked at the stars and the sliver of the moon hanging up like a blanket up in the sky.
