CHAPTER 19

REFLECTING- THE BOYS: THE RUNAWAY, THE WEREWOLF & THE VAMPIRE…WITH A SOUL

" So what you were major star? Like MTV and VH1?" Xander asked his friend as the two made their way to the library. The two were discussing the visions they'd received.

" Yeah. Carson interviewed me. Girls threw underwear at me." Oz replied, with no facial expression. Xander's face, however, lit up.

" Underwear? At you? Wow!" Suddenly Xander bumped into someone.

" Ouch! Watch where you're going you idiot! If I could curse you…I would!" A voice shrieked. Xander awkwardly looked up to see the star of his dreams.

" A-Anya?" He stammered.

" Yes…hey how'd you know my name? Anyways, if you don't mind…get your foot off my book!" Anya yelled at Xander. Xander awkwardly removed his foot and picked it up. He shakily handed it to her.

" Thank you! Great, now I'm late to hand in my homework. Stupid history…stupid teenager body." Anya mumbled to herself before storming off. Xander stood rooted watching the girl leave. Oz followed Xander's eyes.

" Your future wife?" Oz asked.

" Ummm…no. Just my fiancée. I ditched her at the altar." Xander replied quietly.

" Oh."

" Maybe we should go see Giles…now. I want these visions gone." Xander said as the two wandered to the library. They pushed open the door to library to find no one there.

" Hmmm…perhaps we're early." Oz stated.

" Yeah." Xander said. The two then sat down at the table.

" Hey." A deep voice responded from behind Xander. Xander shot up in his chair in fear. He then turned to the voice that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

" God, Angel you scared the hell outta…" Xander almost uttered 'us' before noticing Oz.

" Hey Angel." Oz asked casually, not batting an eyelash.

" …me." Xander finished. Angel then proceeded to the head of the table and sat down on a chair.

" You're early. Isn't it like still daylight out there? Why aren't you a pile of dust?" Xander rambled.

" Emergency. I used the sewers." Angel replied.

" Visions?" Oz asked.

" Yes."

" In your dreams right? 'Cos that's what me and Oz got."

" Yeah."

" So ummm…was Cordelia in it again?" Xander asked awkwardly. Angel suddenly fumbled a bit. He then attempted to cough it off.

" Angel, are you okay?" Oz asked. The two boys looked absolutely mortified at how weird Angel was acting.

" Ummm…yeah I'm ok."

" So was Cordy in 'em?" Xander repeated.

" Y-yes." Angel stammered.

" Were you and she…?"

" No." Angel declared. 'Unfortunately' he thought.

" What?!?" Xander exclaimed all of a sudden. Oz smirked. Angel looked surprisingly at them.

" What?"

" Unfortunately? What the hell does that mean!" Xander retorted. Angel's eyes widened in horror as he realised he had said his thought out loud. (A/N I know…never would happen.)

" Uhhhh…"

" Dead boy, you had better speak." Xander threatened.

In any other circumstance, Angel would've just looked at the teenager and laughed at the thought of Xander threatening him. However, now he was caught in an awkward position.

" Future me likes Cordelia." Angel spluttered quietly.

" Future you had better stay away from her!" Xander exclaimed standing up. Anger bubbled inside him at the thought of Angel being with Cordelia.

" Maybe you should stop threatening me." Angel said as he stood up too, with a fist clenched.

" I threatened the future you."

" The future me…is me."

" Well then you should stay away from Cordy!" The two men stood glaring at each other.

" Guys…cool down. You and your future selves are different." Oz spoke up. The two looked at each other one last time before sitting down.

" How'd she? How'd you t-two?" Xander stammered in confusion.

" I don't know." Angel replied firmly.

" You don't know? That's not a good answer."

" Xander, perhaps you should keep out of my future life." Angel stated.

" I would if it didn't involve my ex-girlfriend." Xander shot back.

" Ex-girlfriend. Last I heard you cheated on her." Angel said, causing Xander to be quiet.

" Guys, you do realize you're fighting over Cordelia right? Someone that neither of you is currently seeing. And to my knowledge…currently neither of you like." Oz said. The two looked at him silently. Xander then began to stifle a laugh.

" You're right Oz. I'm fighting with Angel! Over Cordelia!" A small smile appeared on Angel's face too.

" Oh God! Dead boy smiled!" Xander declared. Angel's smiled suddenly disappeared. The three then sat quietly.

" What happened with you and Anya?" Oz suddenly asked Xander. Xander fidgeted. Angel perked up.

" Issues. Commitment issues came in the way. I couldn't go through with the marriage."

" Oh." Oz said.

" I still loved her…" Xander began.

" But you just couldn't be with her your whole life." Angel finished.

" Bingo."

" For some weird reason…I get what you mean." Angel stated.

" Are you getting sentimental on me Brood Boy?" Xander noted. Angel shrugged in response.

" So Oz man, was Will in your future? The future consisting of panties!" Xander asked excitedly. Oz looked up at his friend.

" No. We apparently broke up. I left her due to werewolf reasons."

" You ate her!?!" Xander exclaimed in horror.

" No! But the werewolf stuff interfered with our relationship. Evidently, it was for the best. But I really don't think it was."

" You missed her?"

" Yeah. Miserably. Half my songs were about her or us." Oz said.

" Oh…sorta obsessive isn't it?" Xander asked.

" Yeah." Oz replied. The three then sat awkwardly.

" You know what's missing in this manly bonding?" Xander spoke up.

" What?"

" A six-pack. Men need alcohol to bond right?"

" Yeah…that'd be good." Oz nodded.

" You're underage." Angel replied dryly.

" Ah…but we have someone who isn't to buy it for us. Besides you owe me."

" Owe you? For what?"

" Liking Cordelia in your future. Does Cordy even know how future you feels?" Xander asked Angel.

" No." Angel replied sullenly.

" Does future you plan on telling Cordelia?"

" Plan on telling me what? Who plans on telling me something?" Cordelia asked as she walked into the library, followed by Willow and Buffy. Angel gave Xander a dark look as he got up and slumped into a dark corner. Cordelia's eyes followed him as she turned back to Xander questioningly.

" N-no one." Xander stammered, as he eyed Angel.

" Where's Giles? We discovered something important." Willow said excitedly.

" Dream visions?" Oz asked.

" No…something about them." Buffy informed.

" Oh."

" So where is he?"

" Funnily enough, Giles is late. Join us." Xander declared pulling out a chair. Willow, Buffy and Cordelia sat around the table and the girls and the guys engrossed into conversation.

" Angel, wanna join us?" Cordelia suddenly spoke to the dark figure, indicating a chair. Angel looked at her awkwardly before shrugging and sitting down with everyone. Buffy and Xander glared at the two as Cordelia smiled at Angel.
