Chapter 3
"Talk about weird" Xander blurted out as Angel and Cordelia left to go patrol. "I've never seen Angel get like that before." "I guess he's just worried about Buffy and his child." Giles spoke up for the first time in a long time. "We have to find her, for her sake and Angel's" Willow said "they are meant to be together. "Giles, are there any spell books that we haven't read that could possibly turn Angel into a human?" Willow asked "Well we could try the watchers council, we'll have to go there because they won't help us if they know what we are looking for. "Great you and I will go to England and work on a spell to turn Angel into a human, Xander and Cordelia can check some small towns that Buffy might be hiding out in and Angel can wait her in case Buffy comes back." Willow said. "Great sounds like a plan, now we just have to wait until Cordy and Angel get back." Xander replied.
A few hours later Angel and Cordy walked into the apartment. After the plan was told to them everyone agreed that they should start as soon as possible. So the next day Willow and Giles got on a plane to England, Cordy and Xander went to check out the airports and bus stations to see if anyone recognized Buffy's picture and Angel stayed at Giles apartment, the sun was out and he wasn't going anywhere. No one remembered seeing Buffy at the airport so Cordy and Xander headed over to the bus station.
At the bus station they found a cashier who remembered Buffy trying to decide between Iowa and Colorado. Xander knew that Buffy wouldn't to risk running into Riley so it was pretty safe to say she went to Colorado. The next bus was leaving in 45 minutes so Cordy and Xander bought tickets and sat down to wait. After about 15 minutes of silence Cordy suggested to Xander that if they did find Buffy they shouldn't tell anyone. At first Xander and thought Cordy was going nuts but as Cordy plan started to come out it sounded more and more appealing to Xander. It was simple Cordy liked Angel, Angel liked Buffy, Buffy like Angel, and Xander liked Buffy. (Anya doesn't exist in my world) If they found Buffy, Xander would offer to stay with Buffy to help raise the child and eventually Buffy should fall for him, right? Then Cordy would go back to Angel say they couldn't find Buffy and that Xander had liked it so much in Iowa that he decided to stay (like they would believe that).
Xander and Cordy decided to get off the bus in Vail, Colorado. It wasn't the biggest city but it was a popular ski destination so it would be enough for Buffy. They first decided to check into a hotel and call Angel. They didn't tell him that they were in Colorado, they just told him that they had a couple of leads and would get back to him soon. That night Cordy and Xander were looking for a place to eat when they walked past a Diner called Anne's Diner. "Come on Cordy let's just eat at this place," Xander suggested. "Ah, you have got to be kidding, that place looks like a dive, and I am not eating there." Cordy protested but Xander was already inside. "Well this place better have good service, Waitress! Waitress! Can I get some help over here?" Cordy practically shouted. As the waitress turned around all you could hear was the dropping of two glasses of water. "Buffy" Cordeila and Xander whispered in unison.
