Buffy is in the hospital bed under intensive care. She's got those nose tubes in her nose. Angel is holding her hand and staring at her. One tear came down his cheaks because of fear that his worst fear might come true.. Buffy dying.
Angel ( to the doctor): Will she come out of it?
Doctor: We have to run the tests.
Angel: So run them!
Giles: Angel, calm down. Getting excited isn't going to help
Doctor: You should wait in the lobby while I run the tests.
Giles and Angel walked out of the room. And saw Willow crying on Oz's lap. Joyce had her head in her lap and Xander was just staring out the window.
Oz: Angel, Giles... guys..
Joyce: Is -- - Will she be all right?
Angel: She lost a lot of blood. It took the doctor+his nurse a while to stop the blood. They don't know if she'll be all right. They gave her a blood transfusion.. I'm not sure if she'll.. .. live.
Giles: Why don't you site down and relax.
Angel: I'm not going to relax (raises his voice a little)
Joyce: Can I go see her?
Angel: They're running tests
Oz: For what?
Angel: I'm not so sure... maybe tetnis .. checking her heart beat maybe...
Doctor: Excuse me, who is the mother of Ms. Buffy Summers?
Joyce: I am. Will she be all right doctor?
Doctor: She's going to live(smiles) I don't know when she will wake up though. I have a few questions to ask you though. I should have asked this the first night she came in. How did she get hurt?
Joyce: He would know.. Angel?
Doctor: Angel?
Angel: (thought 4 a few seconds) We were in the old highschool and she fell through the stairs and something sharp fell and hit her.
Doctor: hmm.. and what happened tonight?
Angel: She was on a ladder and it snapped in half and she fell.
Doctor: Ok. She can have two visiters in the room at a time.
Giles (to Joyce): Do you want to go alone or do you want someone w/ you?
Joyce: I'll go alone.
She followed the doctor to the room. The doc. walked away. Joyce sat down next to Buffy and held her hand.
Joyce: Buffy if you can hear me. Please..fight. Get well.
(She stayed in the room with Buffy for an hour. She walked out of the room and went to the lobby.) I can't stay in there any longer. I'm going to go home to get some rest. Angel.. please. Watch over her for me. Call me if anything changes. [She leaves]
Angel: Does anyone else want to see her?
Willow: I want to see her when she's awake......
Oz: same here.
Xander: Go ahead.
[ Angel walked slowly to buffy's room - sits down next to her]
Angel: Be strong Buffy. ( Once again holds er hand in his...and pushed back her hair) Be strong.
Buffy's Dream :
Buffy and Angel cleaned up Angel's mansion after the fight and after Buffy was in much better condition. She just had a bandage around her stomach. Then they took a walk around the graveyard. and then around the park. Buffy spread a red+white checkered cloth on the grass and put the basked down. Angel sat down and then Buffy took out two lettuce and tomato sandwiches. She sat next to Angel and they ate. When they were done eating they stared into each others eyes.
Angel: For now on we fight together.
Buffy: Yep. That will probably prevent me from getting hurt again.
Angel: We'll be together forever.
Buffy: What can I say?.. Love is Immortal.
- And they just cuddled. But then when they least expected it a huge demon appeared. Very ugly and big. It was a different Footoury demon. The slayer hunter, but this one was interested in vampires too. Angel to be exact. Angel and Buffy ganged up on him. Apparently this demon was pretty strong. Stronger then the real Footoury demon Buffy and Angel had killed. Buffy and Angel didn't even make a scratch on this demon. The demon threw Angel and then picked up Buffy by the neck. Angel got up and started running to save Buffy but it was too late. The demon plunged a stake into Buffy's heart. Blood spilled out of her chest onto the grass. . staining it red. The demon dropped her as Angel got there. He lifted her up a little and more blood came out of her mouth.
Buffy: Angel! (quietly)
Angel: BuffY! (tears) NO!!!!!!!!
Buffy's eyes closed and she had no pulse. Angel got up and killed the demon. But at the same time Angel was staked.
Buffy gasped and shot up from her dream.
Buffy : Ah! AngeL! ANGEL!!
Angel: Buffy! oh god You're ok!
Buffy: Angel?! You're alive!
Angel: I'm right here. ( he held her tight and then they smooched. Then he put her down and gave her another pillow)
Buffy: In my dream we were attacked by the Footoury demon. It was stronger. He put a stake in my heart and then he put a stake in your heart and dissapeared.
(Buffy was so loud when she yeld Angel that people in the lobby heard. Willow, Xander, Oz and Giles ran into Buffy's room + smiled when they saw her wide awake.)
WIllow: Buffy.. How do you feel?
Buffy: It hurts, but other then that I'm ok.
Giles: It's great that your alright.
Buffy: You thought I wouldn't make it? You have such little faith in me. I'm a fighter. So how long will I be in this joint?
Angel: They want to keep you here for a week to be safe. They don't want to chance you getting hurt again.
Buffy: Oh...please. I'll stay in bed all the time until I get better if you want. But don't let them keep me here for a whole week! I don't mind a day or two. But please Angel!
Angel: I don't know.. i'll ask your mom -----
Buffy: Where is she?
Giles: She went home. I'll go call her now. ( calls her.. joyce goes to the hospital)
Joyce: oh Buffy! You're alright!
Buffy: yep.. Can I come home tomorrow?
Joyce: Are you kidding me. . No. I don't want you getting hurt again. No.
Buffy: Pleeeease. I'll stay in bed as long as you want me to. For 5 days. PLEASE .
Joyce: That would be ok.but I'm wanted back at work. I won't be home to take care of you.
Buffy(quickly said) : Angel can!k
Angel: What? Me?
Buffy: Angel? (she made an upset face )
Angel: Yeah.. I'll take you to my place..
Buffy: Mom?
Joyce: Oh all right..
Buffy: Yay! (cough) Can't wait till this wound goes away.
Thin Nurse (high pitched voice) Excuse me! She can't have too many visiters. I'm going to have to ask you to please leave. One can stay.
Joyce: Angel you can stay I'm going to talk to the doctor about her coming home.
- THe nurse left after everyone left -
Angel: Go to sleep. You need lots of rest.
Buffy: Ok. If thats what my vamp wants.. Night.
Angel: Night.. Sleep well.. Don't have anymore nightmares k? (Angel sat back and watched her fall asleep and then he fell asleep.
( That morning everyone came back. Before Joyce was going to leave for work she stopped by the hospital to tell Angel that Buffy is allowed to leave the hospital after lunch.)
Buffy: Great!
Angel: Don't get so excited. I've probably said this a million times, but rest. You need to.
Buffy: You know pretty soon we are going to start calling you the god of resting.
Angel: Funny.
Buffy: I'm a funnygal. you can call me Buffy Funny Summers.
Angel: Ok. Funny Buffy. . . don't talk just look.. Want the T.V. on?
Buffy: Ah .. huh.
(They flip to Jerry Springer)
{Person: You %#$$#@ H@e. I can't believe you slept with thta #)@!% crac head. I'm going to squash that crac heads face! }
Buffy: Change it. That stuff is so fake. They probably act it all out ahead of time. Ooh! Rugrats ! They are so cute.
Angel: You want me to leave this on?
Buffy: See anything else that's appealing to you.
Angel: Here a show about vampires...
Buffy: Boy...people sure want to see people getting bitten these days. (sarcasym)
Angel: Ok... Rugrats. Let me first see if the news is on.. Those cops who shot Diabenoko 42 times were told they are not guilty. That's something I don't here everyday.
Buffy: You can leave the news on if you want. I'm going to close my eyes and listen. I'm sorta tired.
Angel: I'll just shut it off.
(He slipped his hand under Buffy's and then she tightened the grip on Angel's hand and she smiled. Then she fell asleep and went into her little dream world. Angel was a vampire and Buffy was the ordinary Slayer. It was a sunny spring day and Buffy+Angel walked around the mall. They went to Giles where the gang was and then the next day Angel went to school w/ Buffy. They were voted hottest couple at Sunnydale High. Then they went to Angels place and did the smoochies. and much more. (sorry no details in this fic) After that Buffy woke up.
Angel: Read to go home?
Buffy(smile) : Yay!
(Angel put her in a wheel chair and brought her to the lobby everyone was.)
Willow: I'm so glad you get to go home today. Feeling much better?
Buffy: A whole lot.
Giles: Let's get you home or rather let's get you to Angel's house.
(Angel put her in the car and then finally got to his house. Angel picked her up and put her in his bed. )
Angel: Here you can eat this in bed.
Buffy: What is it?
Angel: Take your top off. the top.. take the top off.. not your. . top
Buffy: (laughs) Someone's horny i think.. Yummy.. Chicken w/ brocelli and peas looks good ..Cooked it?
Angel: Actually , Giles bought it for me to give to you.
Buffy: What's on the menu for breatkfest?
Angel: Whatever you want
Buffy: This chicken is very good. It's tender
Angel: Believe it or not, but I made brownies. . for you.
Buffy: I always knew you were a talented vampire.
Angel: Eat up.. so you can tell me how good you think my brownies are.
Buffy: Your recipe?
Angel: Yeah.
Buffy: Wow, now you've surprised me. Since they're your own recipe. I bet they're defenately going to be good.
(13 minutes of chewing and swallowing ) There I'm done.. (ate a brownie) You should give the recipe to my mom.
Angel: I came up with it in10 minutes. When you 1st got hurt.
Buffy: Are you going to just call it your brownie recipe or some other name?
Angel: I'll call them my Buffy Brownies.
Buffy: How about Buffy+Angel brownies?
Angel: Buffy+Angel Brownies.. B & A Brownies Inc.
Buffy: (giggle) this is so good! Now I guess since It's late you're going to want me to go to sleep.
Angel: Yeah, If you want to get better.
Buffy: Will you come to bed too? You look kinda tired.
Angel: I'll got to bed too. (got in bed leaving on his pants and undershirt.) Good night.
Buffy: Goodnight! See you in the morning.
Angel: See you in the morning.
-
Xander(boxers and undershirt) : You think she'll be all right?
Anya: Sure. She always manages to get better. Chill and come to bed You look like a zombie.
( Willow + Oz on the phone)
Willow: I'm so glad she's feeling better. I'm worried about her.
Oz: Why?
Willow: I'm just afraid that she'll get out of bed and step on glass or trip over a stick. .The last time she fell from the attic.. What's next. Lately her luck hasn't been exactly what I call good luck.
Oz: Don't worry. She'll be fine. And Angel will make sure she doesn't do anything that will hurt her.
Willow: Yeah She'll be ok. Good night oz.
Oz: Goodnight.
( Morning )
(Angel cooked some pancakes for Buffy. Buffy got out of bed and into the kitchen.)
Angel: You should of just called me over.. the place is still a little wrecked. I didn't do much cleaning.
Buffy: I can see that.
Angel: Come on.. (he scooped her up and put back in bed) I'll go get the pancakes and you can eat here .... ...... ...... Here eat. PUt some some food in your stomach.
Buffy: Don't even remind me how bad that hospital food it. (chewed) In the morning they gave me mushy oatmea. They didn't put any brown sugar in it.
Angel: Can't have oatmeal with brown sugar..
Buffy: Yeah! And then for lunch they gave me mushy oatmeal and then a tuna sandwich.. It had no salt.
Angel: What? No salt?
Buffy: It sucks without salt. (chewed and swallowed) That nurse.. um.. nurse Jane was such a bitch. You know the one who made you all leave. She looked so cold, like she didn't..
Angel: Like her job?
Buffy: Yes.. I just didn't like her.
Angel: What did they serve you for dinner? Oatmeal?
Buffy: Fortunately no.. They gave me the most horrible mash potatoes I've ever tasted, asparigus, spinach, chicken, Which wasn't that bad and for dessert they gave me icecream, that was almost melted by the time they gave it to me! All the food sucked. I never want to go back there.
Angel: You were very talkative this morning.
Buffy: What time is it?
Angel: 10:17 Why?
Buffy: Just wondering .. Girls got know what time it is or we're lost..in ..space.
Angel: What is it you want? Come on I know there's something.
Buffy: Nothing. (giggle) I just wanted to know. What are we going to besides sleep and talk.
Angel: Well, I'd say if it were up to the bitchy nurse Jane, she'd probably make you go to sleep. But since I'm not her, I'll just advise that you at least close your eyes. Meanwhile, I'll clean this dish.
Buffy: Oo ok.
(She closed her eyes not because she was tired, but 4 Angel and then she fell asleep. This time her dream is far from that ordinary life she wants. She opens her eyes in bed to see that she's orange with a little yellow and she had white arms and legs. She still had her shiny blond hair.)
Buffy: What!!! Why am I all round.. I can't look down that far. Oh MY GOD! did I get fat? (she looked in the mirror) WhAT! I'm I'm a peach! (she walks to willows bed)
Buffy: This better be a dream. Willow? Willow wakup !
Willow(yawning) Whaaaat?
Buffy (yelled) Willow! Look at me! I'm a peach. I'm round and yellow and orange.
Willow: Wow , weird dream I'm having..
Buffy: Willow! This is NO dream! This is serious. I gotta go to Giles. I've got to see Angel. You have to come w/ me.
Willow: You can't go out like that..
Buffy: And what, rot like a peach!
Willow: Ok.. calm down. I'll come with you. Chill
Buffy: Right.. I belong in a fridge! I'm probably going to start talking like a peach. . like food. that sounded odd. (they ran out of their dorm and ran in the streats and got to Angel's place)
Angel: Who's there?
Willow: Me and my peach.
Buffy: Willow!
Angel: Buffy? Is.. is that you? (laughs)
Buffy: Don't laugh! It's not funny! I'm a peach. That's bad.. How can I fight and do stuff. I'll just roll over.
Angel: Maybe an evil put a spell on you. or something.
(Buffy went into the sunlight)
Buffy: I'm going to Giles. Maybe he can help me.
Angel: Don't! Now the sun's really up. You'll ---
BuffY: Angel?! I'm rotting! I sure wish this were a dream. I want to wake up. Angel!
Angel: Buffy! (then she dissappeared)
[Buffy shot up yelling]
BuffY: Angel! Are you here! Angel!
(he ran in the room) Angel: What? Are you ok?
Buffy: My dreams lately haven't been that great. This time, it didn't even start with something good. I woke up as a peach! I was literally a peach and I was rotting.
Angel: Hmph. I don't think I put any peaches in your pancakes.. Wait... What's that big....
Buffy: What??
Angel: That big orange spot.. It's got like a yellow to it. .
Buffy: What! Is....Am I starting to get round!?
Angel: (laughs)Just kidding .. Joking with you.
Buffy: It's not funny
Angel: Would you like a peach? They're sweat like you.
Buffy: Stop
Angel: Hey (laugh) Some of that was a complement. Think of something to get your mind off it.
Buffy: I never knew that's what being a peach is like. It's almost worse then being eaten.
Angel: What would you rather be, a peach or be immortal?
Buffy: Immortal. And if I were like you I probably wouldn't be lying in bed right now.
Angel: And you wouldn't be able to do stuff during the day if you were like me.
Buffy: well, then omit that part of being like you.
( At school )
Willow: I feel bad for Buffy having to stay in bed 4 a week.
Cordelia: Well, now she knows how I felt.
Oz: On the bright side, she's got Angel to keep her --
Cordelia: They're probably makin out right now.
Giles: I doubt that.Buffy + Angel won't do that again. They know better.
Cordelia: They'll be so tempted to I bet though. They probably fantasize about it.
Xander: God, Cordelia do you really think about them like that?
Cordelia: Oh come on. You know they want to. Speakin of that.. I bet you want to get your hands on Willow right now.
Willow (angry) That is just ---- i can't believe you! (walked away)
Oz: I'll see you guys later.
Giles,Xander,Cordy: Bye.
Giles: Well that was a nice chat huh..
Xander: Yeah sure.. And I wasn't thinking about Willow. . In that way. We should probably go to class.
Cordy: You can go without me.. I have to put some makeup on.
Giles: Bye (sigh) Can't wait till Buffy returns.
( At Angel's mansion - End of the day )
Buffy: I hope Willow comes to visit.... me.
Willow: Hey, Buffy. hi Angel
Buffy: Hey will.
Angel: Hi.
Willow: So whatcha been doin?
Buffy: nothing much.
Willow: Oh right.. you in bed..can't do anything. Oz would of come but he had to go into his cage. How are you feeling better I hope?
Buffy: Much better. Look it's healing!
Willow: Oh that's great!
Angel: Willow are you ok?
Buffy: Are you?
Willow: Yeah, everything's fine.
Buffy: Will......I know something's up.
Willow: Ok Cordelia. got to me that's all. Throught Xander. Remember the dance...Xander and me kissed, that day Cordelia got hurt?
Buffy: yeah ... just ignore her.. Whatever she said.
Angel: You shouldn't let other people get to you.
Buffy: Or bite you..
Willow: This is probably too much for you.. just forget it.
Buffy: No! If you want to talk about it ..go ahead. I don't mind.
Willow: It's just a comment.
Buffy: ok.
Angel: Willow can you stay for a while? I'm going out.
Willow: Sure (smile)
Buffy: wait! Where?
Angel: I think I'm going to get some more pigs blood. I'm sorta running low.
Buffy: oh...see ya
Angel: Bye... Oh and in 10 minutes give Buffy her pill.
Willow: Check (Angel walked out) So is the pain releiver helping.
Buffy: Yep.
Willow: You know .. Cordelia can be such a bitch sometimes. I don't know why Xander ever liked her..
Buffy: There's some stuff we don't know about guys.
Willow: Tell me about it.. Geez (Willow got up and went to the kitchen to get Buffy some water. )
Buffy: OoH! Water.
Willow: And the pill..
Angel: hey..i'm back.
(perky voice)Buffy: With a lot of blood. Look's appetizing. ..ahh..If I were a vampire.
Angel: You know me, I get hungry. What about you Hungry?
BuffY: A little.
Angel: I got you macaroni and cheese for you and Willow.
Willow: Oh.. you didn't have to get me anything
Angel: i'm a gentleman. Here.. it's still warm.
Buffy: Would you do anything for a cure.. to be human again?
Angel: Maybe
Buffy: What if Willow could find a spell that could make you human?
Angel (serious voice): Depending on how risky the spell would be, I'd do it.
Willow: It would be very risky, I don't even know of a spell though.
Buffy: You could find one... We can find one
Angel: You want me that bad?
Buffy: You know I love you and I know you love me. If you can become human and stay human. Then we can be be together without risking you becoming bad.
Angel: Yeah, but I'm handy as a vampire. I'm your link to the demon world.
Willow: Hey! You can't rush into this. First I have to actually find the spell. you know.
Angel: We have some time to think about it. Why don't you just --
Buffy: What , no dessert? What happened to those brownies?
Angel: Oh right.. Willow you want one?
Willow: Yeah.. with milk.
Angel: here.. enjoy!
Willow: Oh...imm.. these are good.. great. Where did you learn to cook these Brownies or when?
Angel: Before I was a vampire. I started a little cooking.
Willow: Can I take a couple home? It's starting to get late.. I wouldn't mind staying, but I don't think you need one more person to cook for.
Angel: No. If you want to. .stay. It's no problem. I can sleep on the couch and you can sleep next to Buffy.
Willow: That sounds great.
Buffy: Hey! I have an extra pair of PJ's you can borrow.
Willow: It's too bad I have school tomorrow or I'd stay all day tomorrow.
Buffy: It's no big deal. I'm going back to school Monday anyway. No biggy.
Angel: How is the wound?
Buffy: It's healing pretty fast. . and pain is at a minimum.
Angel: You need to take another pil.
Buffy: uh huh. (willow got up went to the bathroom to change. She came back and Angel just had pants and undershirt on)
Willow: Sure you're going to be comfy on the couch?
Angel: yeah..
Buffy: Night
Willow: Goodnight.
Angel: Night.
(Buffy+Willow both closed there eyes. Angel stared at Buffy. Then he layed down on the couch and went to sleep. Angel had a dream)
Willow left for school. Buffy and Angel went to the church. (daytime:) They got married.. Then they went outside and Angel doesn't burn. They went back to Angel's and got into bed + started kissing and so on. Then morning came.. they went outside.. meanwhile a gypsie is working on a curse. The curse is in effect. Angel starts to burn and then Buffy does. and they both are gone.
Angel jumps up at 3:00 in the morning. Looks at himself and Buffy. Then he calms down and goes back to sleep.
(Morning - 8:50 - Comes )
Buffy woke up early and slowly got out of bed to not wake up willow. She tip toed to the kitchen. Took a bowl + poared cereal into it and milk. Then ate. Buffy looked at the clock and noticed that it was time for school. So she speed walked to Willow and shook her.
Willow: Ah!(waking up Angel)
Angel: Buffy you're out of bed.. You should stay---
Buffy: It's 9 you're going to be late for school. Don't you have that test 1st period?
Willow: OH! Yeah.. I gotta go ( she changed and left)
Angel: You shouldn't have gotten up.
Buffy: Oh..Please a little excersise wouldn't hurt would it? Besides I was hungry. I wasn't going to lay in bed and starve myself until you woke up. I'm not bleeding.
(phone ran ANgel picked up)
Angel: hello?
Joyce: Hi Angel? I just wanted to tell you that I'm not workin Saturday so you can bring Buffy home and I can get her either tonight or tomorrow.
Angel: I'll ask her .. - Buffy it's your mom. She wants to know if you want to go home tonight or tomorrow night.
Buffy: Tomorrow night.
Angel (2JOyce) : Tomorrow night.
Joyce: ok.see you both tomorrow.
Angel: Bye (hung up)
Buffy: So .. I guess I have to do more resting.
Angel: Nothing else to do other then talking. I'm actually planning on taking a nap because I didn't get much sleep last night. I woke up in the middle of the night.
Buffy: Night mare?
( Angel nodded yes) Uh.. Was I in it?
Angel : Yeah.
Buffy: What happened?
Angel: We got married... We came back her and then we kissed. .... (he tells her the rest of the dream)
Buffy: Almost as bad as my nightmare. It's actually the second time I've had it.
Angel: Yours was worse. Well, I guess we both need a nap.
( Buffy had her arm in bed and Angel went in the same bed arm around her. They fell asleep. They were asleep. In the middle of the day Buffy woke up and slowly went outside to get some fresh. She breathed in the air slowly. She heard footsteps to her side and saw Angel.
Buffy (closed the door) Angel...
Angel: Buffy, you never know what's lurking around.
Buffy: I can fight though
Angel: You remember what the last demon did to you..
Buffy: of course I remember. .. Like it was yesterday. Every stab, every push That demon was just very strong. And I was weak. I could take a demon any time now.
Angel: I didn't mean to push you. I had to. I didn't want you get hurt by the demon.
Buffy: Hey.. I'm not holding it against you. I don't need an explanation, I know why you did.
Angel: So let's just go back to bed then and wait for night.
Buffy: Okay. I guess I'm still sleepy.
(So they slept the rest of the day. Buffy is for now, scarred with night mares where Angel Angel ends up dead. A 6:00pm. Angel woke up . [Just sat up] watching Buffy squiggle around. Then BOOM!)
Buffy:(screams) Ah! ( She jumps up.)
Angel:(grabbed her and held her close) Buffy, it's alright.
Buffy: Angel...I don't know what to do. These nightmares . They won't go away. In everyone you end up risking your life or someone just kills you and me. I want them to go away! It's too painful!
Angel: Shh.. They'll go away. You have to be strong.
Buffy: Uh huh.. strong (voice quieting) Strong.. They'l go away.
( The both of them got dressed..went outside. They walked through the semi empty streets. )
Angel: On our way to the house.... if a vampire or demon attacks.. us, let me fight it.
Buffy: unless I need to protect myself (she had a stake in hand.)The nightmares I'm having are so disturbing( A vampire jumped from the tree+Buffy plunged the stake at his heart) You know, maybe it's trying to state something about what I want like one thing I wish is that you were human or could at least go out in the sun.
Angel: For the disturbing part of your nightmares.. they'll get better. They will turn good.
Buffy: I know. They just all seem so real. (stopped in front of her door and kissed him) Goodnight.
Angel: Goodnight.
Buffy: I hope so.
