A/N: Sorry if this chapter is really, I wrote this at 3:00a.m., I have a lot of homework AND major writer's block!





Angel and Buffy are sitting on the ground, they are trying to avoid eye contact.



"Um, ok, where do you want me to begin?"

"From the start," Angel paused, "From the time that I left."

"Well I looked at you, the lights were flashing, the sirens were wailing, but I just focused on you, and then you slowly started to walk away, and as the smoke closed......" Angel gives Buffy a look while she drifts off from what she is saying, "What? You said start from when you left," Buffy joked, Angel chuckled "To tell you the truth, nothing that big has happened, sure there was the whole resurrection thing, but that's really it," Buffy said, of coarse that wasn't even the beginning of it, but the other things, Angel would never be ready to hear, and she wasn't ready to tell him.

"Nothing? What about your daughters, if you don't mind me asking, who's their father?" Angel asked almost not wanting to know.

Buffy saw this and thought to her-self 'This is going to be easy and fun' "I have no clue, it was just this thing,..." she said, Angel had a lot of mixed emotions, he couldn't tell which one he had more of, "Cant you take a joke? They're adopted. Their parents were changed into vampires, Katie was ten, Melissa was a couple of weeks old."

Angel let out a sigh of relief, "You're different, but somehow you are still the same Buffy I knew all thoughs years ago." He leaned towards Buffy and was about to put his hand on her face, then she stood up, "Um, I think they have coffee in the teacher's lounge, do you want to get some?" she said, she was really mad at him, but was trying to hide it.

"Um, sure I guess," Angel said.



In the Summers' house, things aren't going to well, Melissa is being noise, running around, and refusing to go to bed. Katie is not helping, watching T.V., yelling at her sister, and during commercials asking about Angel.

"Melissa will you shut-up?" Katie yelled.

"There has to be away to get Mel to calm down, and get her to go to bed, and there has to be away to get Katie to stop asking so many questions." Dawn said to Spike.

Spike thought for a second "I have an idea," Spike said.

"What?" Dawn asked.

"What did you really want to do when you were Katie's age?" Spike asked.

"Slay vampires," Dawn asked in a -dah- sort of way.

"Something else," Spike said.

"Die my hair, and may I ask why," Dawn answer.

"Katie! If you get Melissa to go to bed and stay there I'll let you bleach your hair!" Spike yelled.

"OK," Katie yelled, she turned off the T.V. "Melissa time for bed."

"I don't want to!" Melissa said.

"I'll read you a bed time story," Katie said.

"Sleeping Beauty?" Melissa asked.

"Fine," Katie said.

"Goodie!" Melissa said as she ran up the stairs, Katie not far behind.

"Why didn't we think of that?" Spike asked once Katie and Mel were upstairs.

"You know Buffy is going to kill you if you let Katie bleach her hair?" Dawn said.

Spike shrugged "I'm already dead."
