Author Notes:
Story Notes:
Disclaimer: Not mine. Just playing in Joss' sandpit. With Buffy. And Spike and Giles on the swings. Get it? I'm dreaming!
Giles: I think we have to reformulate our plans. Without Heinriech.
Buffy: Not a lot changes.
Giles: True.
Buffy: Some changes are needed, though.
They are sitting around in the living room, eating an evening meal of pizza. The non-vampire members had the option of garlic bread, too, but so many were planning to kiss vampires later that it wasn't disapperaing very fast.
Giles: So what's your new plan?
Buffy: We're going to try and carry on much as we always have done. Me and the Scooby Gang here, with Dawn, Angel and co. in LA.
Angel: No.
Buffy: What!
Angel: No. I don't want to go back to LA. I want to be here with you, and wild Powers with branding irons won't tear me away.
Buffy: But we need a vampire in LA, to look after things there.
Darla: I'll go. if you'll come with me?
She turns to the demon woman sitting next to her.
Cordelia: of course. Angel gets to be with his lover, I get to be with mine.
They share a sappy little grin that leaves most of the people wanting to heave, and Angel more confused than ever- a feeling that only increases when Buffy responds by giving him a sappy smile, too.
Buffy: Good. Me, Angel, Clem, Dawn, Willow, Dru, Xander and Harmony, all here; Darla, Cordy, Lorne and Anya in LA; Gunn, Fred, Wesley and Steven to England, with Spike and Giles. Clear?
She gets nods all round, and contiunes.
Buffy: We all need to be looking out for any clues that might lead us to what's going to happen, and when. If we can slow down any of the people on the other side, that would help, too.
Lorne: If we find something out, what's the procedure for letting people know?
Buffy: A telephone call or an e-mail to me. I'll pass it on.
Fred: What if we can't get to a phone?
Buffy: You will be able to. Cordy?
Cordelia: I've bought twelve mobile phones. They should be able to get a signal anywhere it the world- I'm told they're the ones that the US miltitry use, so if you can't get through, neither can they.
William: For some reason, that doesn't inspire confidence in me.
Cordielia: What do you mean?
William: I've met soliders.
Cordelia ignores him, and hands out phones, first to Darla, seated at her side; then to Clem, sitting at the other end of the sofa; then to Buffy, standing by his side, and Angel, sitting at her feet. To Spike, on Rupert's lap in the big armchair, and the Rupert, who can hardly be seen around William's muscluar form.
She gives them to Willow and Drusilla, curled up on the floor, and to Xander and Harmony, sharing the other armcahir. To Dawn, a bit uncomfortable on a hard chair brought from the kitchen, and to Steven by her side; then to Fred and Gunn who sre leaning aginst the wall, viewing the meal and meeting as an intrruption of their kissing time.
She hands two to Lorne and Anya, seated on the floor; and finally gives on to Wesley, who has huddled himself onto the floor and almost into the sofa arm, as if he deosn't want to be seen.
Cordelia: Everybody got a phone?
They nod.
Cordelia: Please, learn how to use them and keep them with you at all times.
She sits down, and Buffy smiles.
Buffy: Thanks, Cordy. I think that's the meeting over with- you can get on with eating now.
One or two people, like Xander, who hadn't stopped eating for the meeting, look slightly shamefaced, and the rest dig back into their pizzas.
