"She's like the wind through my tree
She rides the night next to me
She leads me through moonlight
Only to burn me with the sun
She's taken my heart
But she doesn't know what she's done"
-Patrick Swaze
"`Evening," Spike said brightly once Buffy joined him and Joyce in the kitchen.
"I talked to Will," Buffy said sitting down. "We're going to the Bronze tonight. If that's okay with you."
"It's fine," Joyce said. "I guess you should be getting back to normal, well as normal as a vampire can be."
"Then I should go," she said hugging her mom again.
"Buffy," Spike called. She turned back. "Please be careful." Buffy rolled her eyes but nodded. She left walking to the school.
"Buffy!" she heard the scream and took off running towards the sound. She nearly ran into Willow. "He's here."
"I know," Buffy said putting herself between her friend and Angelus who was walking slowly towards them.
"Hello lover," he smiled.
"Angel," Buffy said. He began circling the two girls. "What do you want?"
"You betrayed me lover," he said his voice dark and dangerous.
"I betrayed you?" Buffy demanded. "I didn't sleep with Dru after I promised I wouldn't. You betrayed me Angel."
"You left me," Angel said. "No one has ever done that and lived."
"Ooh scary," Buffy said.
"I'm going to leave now," Angel said. "But this isn't over." He walked away.
"Still up for the Bronze?" Buffy asked.
Willow shrugged putting her "resolve face" on. "Sure." They walked to the Bronze and got a table in the back.
"So how's everyone?" Buffy asked.
"Pretty good," Willow said. "Xander and Cordelia have actually admitted that they're in love.
"They are possibly the weirdest couple in the entire universe," Buffy said.
"Not quite," Willow said. "Giles called a few weeks ago. He's going to be coming back here. He's dating your mom."
"Giles and my mom!" Buffy exclaimed.
"I know," Willow said. "We were all shocked too. But they're not that bad of a couple."
"That's shocking."
"I know."
"So what about Oz and you. Any seizage?" Buffy grinned at the hacker's sudden blush.
"Maybe a little," Willow said slowly.
"Will!" Buffy exclaimed sitting up straighter. "Oh my God."
"Slayer," Spike said approaching.
"What's up?" she asked.
"Just worried," he said with an embarrassed shrug
"Awwe, did you hear that Willow, Spike's worried about me," Buffy grinned.
"Shut up slayer," Spike growled.
Buffy just giggled. "Have a seat." He sat down next to her. "Well we did see him. He attacked Willow."
"You okay Red?" Spike asked.
"Fine," Willow said a little nervously.
"Hey," another voice said. They looked up to see Oz. Willow's face broke out in a huge smile. Soon Xander and Cordelia also joined them.
"An other meeting of the loser's club?" Cordelia asked sitting down.
"You forget Cordy," Xander said. "You're one of us now."
"Shoot me!" Cordelia cried over-dramatically even as she buried her head in his shoulder.
"Oh no," Spike muttered. Buffy looked up. There stood Angel, he had changed and was now in a black button up shirt and a pair of leather pants. He walked purposely over to them.
"The Scooby gang," he said derisively.
"Hey Dead-boy," Xander said.
"Xander," Cordelia hissed. "Shut up before you get us killed."
"You should really listen to her Xander," Angel said. "You seem to forget something. I wanted to kill you before I lost my soul."
"Scary," although Xander's voice was light there was a little bit of fear in his eyes.
"Can we talk?" Angel asked looking at Buffy. Buffy stared up at him for a few seconds before standing. She followed him away from the table. They stood near the entrance of the club.
"What do you want?" she demanded.
"Buffy," he said his voice quiet. "Please, I want you back."
"You cheated on me," she said. "I can't just forgive that." Much to her shock he got onto his knees. "Angel!"
"Please baby," he said. "She's gone now, I just want you."
"Angel go," Buffy said. "You had two chances, I'm through being stupid, just go." She walked back to the table.
"He's a tad bit upset," Spike noticed.
"No kidding," Buffy said. She saw him approach another girl. A few minutes later they left. Buffy followed grabbing her purse. Spike followed her. They all ended up in the alley.
"Hello Angel," Buffy said.
"Who are you?" the girl asked.
"His sister," Buffy lied. "Angel, remember what the doctor said, the rash isn't going to go away if you keep irritating it like this. All that dancing, you're just asking for trouble."
"Rash," the girl said disgusted. "Oh gross." She left.
"That was rude," Angel growled.
"But really innovative," Spike said. Angel left. Spike and Buffy went back inside.
"So how did your meeting with Dead-boy go?" Xander asked.
"Do you have a death wish boy?" Spike asked.
"He does," Cordelia and Willow answered together.
"Buffy," Willow said. "I found something before Angel came. Let's go back to the school." They left going to the computer lab. "I found this between desks. When I looked at it. Buffy, it's the spell of restoration. Miss Calendar, she found the spell, she translated in, and we can do it at any time." Buffy stared at her a few seconds.
"I need to go home," Buffy said. She left, Spike once again following her.
"Buffy!" Spike called jogging to catch up to her. She paused waiting for him. "Are you going to do it?"
"I don't know," Buffy said. "God this is too much. I mean, I want Angel back, my Angel but I just don't know."
"After all this you still want him back?"
"It wasn't my Angel who did all of this. I don't hold any of it against him. I love him Spike." Spike sighed. He went up the stairs and into her room. Joyce was in the kitchen.
"Mom, we're going to go to bed," she called.
"Goodnight honey," Joyce called back. She went upstairs. Spike was already lying on the floor.
"Could you turn around or something so I can get changed?" Buffy asked.
"I'm lying here," Spike said. "It's not like I can see anything." Buffy figured that, that was true so she slipped out of her clothes.
"If I catch you peeking you'll fit into an ashtray," she warned.
"Like I'd want to," he said.
"I know," she said crawling into her bed. "I'm disgusting."
"You are not," he said heavily. He cut himself off.
"Let's just get to sleep," she said quietly. She turned on the radio and he laid awake for quite awhile listening to her breathing. Why can't she see that I love her? he wondered. Why doesn't she understand that I'd give her anything in the entire world? I just want her.
