A/N: REVIEWS!!! ^_^ I'm obsessive over them. I love this fic so much, more than my other fic. I'm biased because that fic wasn't going to be B/A. So please review!!! And I'm SO sorry to those Xander lovers... ;_;
"You're sure you're human?" Giles asked. Angel stared up at the sun for a moment and smiled.
"Positive."
"How did this happen?" Willow asked.
"What happened last night?" Giles asked. Buffy and Angel blushed as they glanced at each other.
"I was feeling empty and then angry at myself and then Buffy and I kissed. It sort of... went too far. I awoke and thought I was to be Angelus again, yet, I had a reflection," he said.
"There are numberous theories as to why this could happen. I can honestly say I have no idea, but my best guess would be that you felt so much for 3 human beings that when you and Buffy slept together, you transformed to human. The Powers That Be must have felt... something to make you human."
"Shanshu," Cordy whispered. The other stared at her. "Shanshu. A few years ago W-Wesley decifered these ancient texts and one of them, about Angel, said he'd shanshu. We thought it meant die for awhile but really..."
"It meant he was to be human," Giles said. "Yes, I'm familiar with shanshu. Astonishing. First time in history it's happened, I'm sure."
"So what do we do about it?" Buffy asked. "Where do we go from here?" The other's provided no answer.
"Angel, Xander, Willow, Buffy. Stay, I need to confer with you," Cordy said as the other retreated to sleep. It had been a long day of book reading and trying to find any clues or backlashes to Angel's humanity.
"Confer?" Willow asked.
"I-I asked Lorne if he... knew anyone that knew any good r-resurrection spells. To bring Wesley back," Cordy said, not meeting their eyes. "And I met with this guy. He gave me the spell. I need 4 others to do it with me though."
"Cordy, you can't do this," Xander said.
"Xander's right. I did it last year for Buffy and... it was wrong. And then I became too addicted to magic and--" Willow said, starting to cry.
"I have to do this. It's Wesley. We can't survive without him," Cordy said.
"I'm in," Angel said.
"Angel--"
"No. It's the least I can do to try."
"The spell will kill you!"
"Then I'll die, but at least Wesley can be alive again," Angel said.
"You do it, then I do it too," Buffy said.
"I will too," Xander said. They looked expectantly at Willow.
"Willow?"
"It's wrong! Don't you remember what I've been through this year? We can't do this," she said, tears still in her eyes.
"I know Willow, it's ok," Buffy said.
"Willow, please," Cordy said.
"No, Cordy. You don't know what this year has been like for us."
"And you don't seem to know what Wesley meant to us."
"I'll do it," Willow said after a long pause.
"Are you sure?" Buffy asked. Willow took a deep breath.
"No turning back now. I'll do it."
The five sat in a circle, a candle in the middle burning through Wesley's picture. A concoction of different herbs and materials made a circle around it.
"Accidere ad ego animus posse universus denuo!" Cordy chanted. The other's joined along. "Accidere ad ego animus posse universus denuo! Accidere ad ego animus posse universus denuo! Accidere..." The chanted over and over again. Suddenly a wind whipped through a window and swirled around them and the picture glimmered. Suddenly Xander sneezed, breaking the spell.
"No!" Cordy shouted. The wind began to swirl around Xander and he faded away. "Noooooooo!!!" Cordy broke down into tears. "Noooooooo!" Angel shook her shoulder.
"Cordy look," he said. In the center of their circle lay the body of Wesley.
"Oh my god," Cordy whispered. "Wesley!" She shook him. "Wesley!"
"Cordy," Wesley said, with an odd look in his eye. "Cordy why am I here? And why are you calling me Wesley?"
"B-because that's your name," Cordy said nervously.
Wesley laughed. "What kind of games are you playing? The name's Doyle."
