~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Buffy rummaged through her closet in search of something to wear to the Bronze. She finally settled on a pair of black Mudd jeans, a black tank top, a periwinkle colored button shirt, and a pair of black Oxfords with 3 1/2" platform heels. The first time she had worn them, Giles laughed at her. He told her they looked ridiculous and that she would probably trip on the things and break her ankle. She just laughed and told him that he was an old man with no fashion sense. To this day, she thought that he hadn't gotten over that 'old man' crack. She put her hair up in a black clip, and put on just enough perfume for people to notice, but not enough to make people gag.
Buffy crept downstairs and left a note on the table next to the couch where Giles was sleeping:
GILES-
SLEEPING AT A FRIENDS HOUSE. YOU CAN CALL AT: 678-0236
-BUFFY
Then Buffy carefully opened the front door and tried not to make a sound. When the door shut, she took off and headed to the Bronze.
~~~~
Buffy walked into the Bronze and immediately spotted Faith at the bar.
"Hey, Faith."
Faith grinned, "Hey B."
"Umm...I gave Giles your cell number. I told him I was sleeping at a friend's house and gave him the number to reach me at. I hope you don't mind."
"Not at all."
"Good, cuz he'll probably call in like five minutes."
Then, like clockwork, Faith's cell phone rang.
Faith chuckled, "Come on."
She grabbed Buffy's hand and they went into the bathroom.
Faith answered the phone with a grin, "Wilson residents."
Buffy smiled.
"Sure Mr. Giles, just a minute."
She handed the phone to Buffy, "Here."
"Hey Giles. Sorry I took off, but...Annie and I are working on a book report, so I just figured I'd stay the night."
Buffy listened for a minute, "Ok, just a sec."
She had a panicked look on her face, "She wants to talk to your "mom." What do I do?"
Faith looked around, "Hey you, come here."
She gestured for a girl to come over; she looked about 18, "Yea?"
Faith pulled out a ten dollar bill, "This is all I've got, but it's yours if you put on your best mom voice and tell the guy on the phone that she is spending the night at our house and is working on a book report with your daughter."
The girl grabbed the money, then the phone, and turned on her best "mom" voice, "Hello? Yes, this is Mrs. Wilson.......Yes, the girls are working on a book report. Yes, I will be home all night. Nice talking with you sir. Good bye."
She gave the phone back to Faith, "There you go."
Faith smiled, "Thanks!"
The girl smiled back, put the money in her pocket and left the bathroom.
Faith grinned at Buffy, "Problem solved."
"Very nice."
Faith grabbed Buffy's hand again and they left the bathroom and went to her table.
Everyone, including Angel, was at the table. Buffy handed a card to Kyle, "Happy birthday. I'm on a very tight budget, I had to borrow money from Giles just to get that." She smiled sheepishly when Kyle took the card.
He smiled at her, "I know the feeling. Thanks, Buffy."
Faith looked at Angel and noticed that he wasn't even looking at her; she wanted to hit him.
Buffy awkwardly stood there, saying nothing.
Kyle smiled, "Do you want to sit down?"
Buffy shuffled her feet, "Umm..."
Faith jumped up, "Be right back."
She grabbed Buffy's arm and pulled her from the table.
Xander punched Angel in the arm, "What are you doing!?"
Angel looked at everyone nonchalantly, "What?"
Kyle laughed, "You are blowing it bud."
"Blowing what?"
"Don't even try to play stupid with us. We ALL know that you've got the hots for her."
Angel didn't even try to deny it, "What's your point?"
"You don't want to let her get away."
Angel didn't say anything.
"Look, it's obvious that you don't want to put her in danger, but do you have to treat her like this? You saved her life, and now you are treating her the same way you used to. She stopped being mean to you and thinking of you as a jerk. She now thinks of you as a great person who she was totally wrong about. If you don't want to get her involved..."
"Too late..." Xander whispered and everyone looked at him and smiled, except Angel.
Kyle continued, "If you don't want to get her involved, at least be a little nicer to her and tell her that you don't hate her, because I'm pretty sure that's what she's thinking."
Spike finally decided to speak up, "Yea, don't blow it."
Angel just sat there.
Buffy and Faith came back to the table, and Faith grabbed a chair for Buffy, "Here B, sit."
Buffy sat down and smiled, "Thanks."
Dru decided to end the silence, "How's your side?"
"It feels better, I'm just glad that Gile's hasn't noticed anything."
Everyone continued talking for about and hour, even Angel said a few words, but never to Buffy, and he never looked at her.
Kyle looked at his watch, "I'm tired, I want to go home."
Everyone agreed, including Buffy.
Faith remembered something, "Hey, B; I remember you told Giles you're sleeping at a friends house, whose house?"
"My friend Willow. She always covers for me."
"Oh, ok."
Everyone got up and headed to the door.
When they were all outside, Buffy smiled at everyone, "Thanks for letting me crash your party. I'll see you around."
She turned around and started walking away.
Everyone glared at Angel, so he finally gave in, "Buffy, can I talk to you?"
Buffy stopped, and turned around, "Yea."
Faith smiled, "We'll go on ahead. You know where to find us Angel."
"Yea, I catch up in a while."
After everyone was way ahead, Angel and Buffy started walking in their direction.
They were silent for a few minutes, until Angel finally spoke, "Buffy, I..."
Buffy cut him off, "Look, I know that you aren't too crazy about me, but..."
"That's not true. Buffy, I do like you; it's just..."
"I know, we are too different, you don't want me involved, yadda, yadda. I got news for ya..."
Buffy lifted up her shirt and showed Angel her side, "I'm already involved! I know all this stuff, about you and that guy Jack; I know it all."
"Yea, I've been told that many times already."
She fixed her shirt, "Look Angel, I'm not asking you to marry me or anything! I just wish you would stop...ignoring me."
"I'm sorry."
"How about...friends?"
Angel smiled, "I can live with that."
Buffy's heart started melting when she saw his smile. 'Since when does that happen? Stop it Buffy, this is a bad idea!' She thought to herself.
Angel's smiled faded, "Seriously though, Jack is a stupid fu..., he's an asshole. This is the best advice anyone will ever give, if you see him even twenty feet away from you, turn around and run away as fast as you can."
Buffy chuckled, "I think that I can take care of myself."
Angel stopped and gently held onto Buffy's arm; when she stopped, he let go, "I think you know what would have happened if we hadn't been there the other night. Now, just imagine it ten times worse, because that's how it will be if he ever gets a hold of you, and it's all because you are "on my side." Why do you think I wanted you to stay away from us?"
"Ok, ok, you win; if I see Jack, I'll run away."
"Then you better start running baby."
Buffy just about jumped out of her skin when she heard Jack come up behind them.
Angel and Buffy turned around and saw Jack standing ten feet away, holding a gun at his side.
