Authors Note: Everyone, thanks for the reviews, they make me sooo happy!
Hmm. in my other fic which I'm co-writing with Kandice (Its called Day of
the Squirrels. Weird title, but I think its pretty cool) I tried writing
some Faith, and I'm really not the best, so I'm confirming that Faith will
play a small, yet EXTREMELY important role. I'm sorry if this is up later
then you all wanted it, Vie been having trouble getting time online (main
reason being my brother)
So, here it goes:
Chapter Four: Reunion
"Dawn! Come ON! You don't need everything you own!" Buffy screamed up the stairs. Dawn had been running up and down the stairs for about ten minutes. Each time she proudly proclaimed 'I'm done!' which was quickly followed by 'Oh shoot I forgot.' and another trip up the stairs.
"But buffy!" came Dawns whine from upstairs. Just then, Spike ran in the door, hidden under a blanket.
"Spike! Can you please tell my sister to get down the stairs. like now?" Buffy asked him.
"Bit! Get down here before I come up and MAKE you!" Spike threatened. Obviously Dawn took this threat seriously and came downstairs.
"Are you ready to go Dawnie?" Willow asked, "Because if your not, Buffy might have a nervous breakdown."
"Ya, I'm done."
"Actually Dawn, I think you should just keep packing. The longer you pack, the longer it takes to get to LA, the later I'll have to see Dead Boy." Xander said, "See how it works for me?"
"Xander, get over yourself. You think I'm really looking forward to seeing the Poof?" Spike asked. Then he turned towards the kitchen counter. "Of course Dru, if he were Angelus, I would love to see him. I love him like a father!"
"Spike. Spike! SPIKE!" Buffy called. Spike finally turned around, "You do not love Angelus like a father. Remember? He STOLE Dru? You wanted to get Dru away from him? So that she'd love you?"
"I lied to her!" he said, then proceeded to hit him self. "Bad Spike, lying to Dru. Bad! Bad!"
"Spike. Stop. It's called a grip, get one" Anya told him.
The whole gang had, again, gathered at Buffy's house to discuss a main problem they had. There were 7 of them, and 13 suitcases, (Dawn and Anya had each packed three.) and they had two cars, mostly made of Xanders, because Giles' didn't really count.
"Yes. Got it. Continue." Spike announced.
"Well, Giles, you can drive, but your car wont be much help here." Buffy pointed out.
"Well, we could rent." Giles replied.
"Sure, with what money?" Xander asked.
"I have some. I saved it from the Magick Box that night that Willow was all- "
"Ok, we got money." Xander said. He had cut her off in mid-sentence to prevent any bad feelings mention of "That night" might bring up.
"I never said I'd give it to you." Anya said.
"Gee, thanks An." Xander said.
"I brought some over from England. Since it would be only for today, I could chip in." Giles offered.
"Thank you Giles!" Buffy said, "Lets get a Hummer. Their big, and cool!"
"And where do you suggest I sit?" Spike asked. Blank Stares. "The sun?" he added.
"In the trunk?" Xander joked. Spike glared.
Twenty minutes later the group was all packed into Xander's car. The "creative solution" they had some up for Spike was actually that he sat in Xander's trunk. He didn't need to breathe, so he couldn't suffocate.
"He'd better not get that greasy stuff in his hair all over my trunk, or I'll put a stake through his heart before he can say "Clean it yourself, doofus." Xander warned.
Giles had given in. Once Buffy had put the idea of a Hummer in Dawn's head, Dawn refused to go to LA and England unless they rented a Hummer. So, Giles, to save his reputation, had asked Xander if he would like to drive the Hummer, and handed over the keys. They pulled out of the driveway and were on their way.
LA
Angel was pacing. They were coming. Willow was coming. Xander was coming. Giles was coming. Spike was coming. Oh, big deal. BUFFY was coming. Angel thought his unbeating heart just might be beating from nerves. Every time he heard a car pass by outside, he jumped to his feet. Gunn, Fred, and Cordy thought this was the funniest thing ever and cracked up.
"Angel, man, calm down. Your gonna get some kinda vamp heart attack if you don't stop and. not breathe a minute." Gunn said. Another car passed. Angel jumped, but didn't stand up.
"There's progress!" Cord said. Then Angel stood up and walked to the door, then opened it, being sure to stand out of the sun, as a flaming blanket ran through the door.
"Thank. you." The blanket panted. Then the blanket fell to the floor revealing a very crispy looking Spike.
"Well, Spike! I can't honestly say I'm glad to see you, but I can say it dishonestly! H Spike, I'm so glad to see you, Angel, will you hand me that stake?" Cordy said.
"Sorry, we just let him run." Anya said, coming through the door, dragging three very heavy looking suitcases. "Hello, Angel. Hi Cordy! What's new? I love your hair!"
"Thanks! Yours too!" Cordelia squeaked, "Its very. blonde."
"Thanks!"
Xander, Willow, and Giles came in, and were greeted very warmly by Angel and Cordy. Angel, however, did seem a little distracted, glancing at the door every few seconds.
"Hi!" Dawn came in, dragging three very heavy suitcases. Angel moved to help her.
"Angel, don't even try." Buffy said, walking through the door.
Angels jaw dropped. She was even prettier than he remembered her.
"H. Hi!" he stammered.
"If she wanted all that junk, she's gonna carry it in." Buffy told him. Commanded him.
"Buffy!" Cordelia exclaimed, and ran over to her, giving her a big hug. Buffy looked a little frightened.
"Hi. Cordy." She said. She turned to Angel. "Hi. Angel."
"Buffy." He said, "I missed you."
"Yeah, well." she smiled, "What's not to miss?"
"Absolutely nothing." Angel told her,
"Yes, I did see those big puppy dog eyes Dru. He's gone loony. Completely wack. He never actually liked human girls. He likes Darla. He loves Darla." Spike seemed to be talking to the weapons cabinet.
"What's with him?" Cordelia asked.
"It's a long story. I don't really understand. A certain SISTER wouldn't tell me all the details." Dawn explained, "Cordy, can we go shopping? I feel the incredible urge to go shopping." She noticed Buffy's glare, "With MONEY!" she defended herself.
"Angel, can I talk to you?" Buffy asked, "Alone?"
"Yeah. Sure. That's fine." He just sat there.
"Ok, are you expecting everyone else in the room to get up and walk out?" Anya asked. "Because, I wont."
"No, no." he jumped up. "C'mon in here." He led her into his office.
"Angel, Spike's got a soul."
Authors Note: I know, I'm bad. But I really REALLY wanted To get this chapter up, so to bad for you guys, cliffhanger! (Smiles evilly) Heehee, I hope I did ok at this reunion. I know I made Angel sound like a bit of a space case, but. hes just a big, loveable vampire, so. anyway. you read. So review. I hope you like. I dunno when the next chapter will be up. Wednesday to Friday most likely, im not really sure tho. I hope the length is better!
So, here it goes:
