Summary: B/a Fluff!

AN: This is for Leni who reviews everything I write! Yay!

            "Ummmm, Buffy I was kind of wondering if maybe, you know if you're not busy or anything you might like to join me at The Bronze this Friday." Angel said nervously.

"Crash 'n' burn," Gunn rated.

"Improper use of the English language." Wesley declared.

"*yawn*Booooooooooooring." Cordelia stated unenthusiastically.

"Points for sweetness, but all in all needs some practice." Faith tried to be nice.

"It sucked." Doyle was frank.

"*groan*I'm doomed." Angel moaned.

Meanwhile on the other side of the wall…

"Angel, since I'm new and don't know the hot spots I wondered if maybe you might show me around, possibly on Friday about eightish?" Buffy wondered.

"Blech!" said Dawn.

" I must agree with Dawn on that." Giles admitted.

"Not your best work Buff." Xander admonished.

" Well erm, it was interesting." Willow hedged as good a response as was possible.

"*moan* I'm doomed." Buffy groaned.

Switch back…

"For God's sake Angel! It's not that difficult. Tell the girl you like her, ask her out, and give her somethin' sweet." Faith was really irritated now. After about two hours every one had left him but her. Even her patience had a limit however. "You're sweet, funny, witty, charming, and soon to be dead if you don't SHUT UP and ASK her already DAMNIT!!!!"

"But I just want it to sound okay."

Faith sighed "Listen sweetie, the more you wig the worse it's gonna be. So get it over with, besides she's totally gonna say yes."

"How are you so sure?" Angel queried.

" Female intuition, Angel, just good ol' female intuition."

" I'm going now."

"May the force be with you." Faith intoned in a scary voice.

"Huh?"

"*sigh* Pop culture reference. Just go already."

"Wish me luck?"

"Always, big bro, always." She smiled as he left.

At Buffy's door…

"Hello," Buffy said opening the door in her sushi pajamas "Eeep!"

She quickly closed the door. "Willow! Xander! Dawn! Giles! HELP!!!!"

"Wha'?" Willow was extremely groggy.

" Angel at door, me in PJ's. I see problems." Buffy was truly frantic.

"Oh. Okay. One friendly distraction comin' up."

" You're a God."

"Goddess, and don't you forget it. Now hurry up and get dressed."

Willow opened the door as soon as Buffy left. "Just give her a minute. We had some of our old friends stay the night and so we got kinda overtired."

" I understand." Angel said smiling nervously.

"Don't worry she's going to say yes."

"Huh?"

"When you ask her out. You are asking her out right? Oh no! You aren't are you? She's gonna kill me…" Willow babbled panicking.

"Breathe. Yes I am asking her out. It's okay Willow." Angel already liked this hyper, happy girl.

"Phew!"

Just then Buffy came out in a pretty sundress. "So what did you talk about?"

"Nothing!" Willow squeaked, "So I'm just going to be elsewhere. Bye."

"Sorry. Xander must have let her have some coffee."

"Xander?"

" One of the friends Willow told you about. Which by the way I'd love to go on a date with you. Say Friday about eight."

Angel was dumbfounded. Recovering quickly he said, "That would be great."

"See you then?"

"See you then."

As Buffy closed it you could hear a little happy sigh coming from both sides of the door.
