POLGARA-5: Telepathic will take place quite few months later. If doesn't work I'll either rewrite the chapter or come up with an incredible excuse as to why she lost it.
JAY: A crossover will be in the works as soon as I finish this one. I have already been brainstorming for it. Glad you like the story.
HOPE:I have a feeling you know who the new student is. Guess the only way you'll find out if you were write is by reading it. J
Ugot2bebad2begood: Eventually Spike will come out to play but I haven't figure out how to work him in. As for Angel and Rogue, I'd like to keep Angel human for now. I might put with Faith. I don't know.
S.M.: No faith being Logan's daughter. Though you will get some Buffy/ Logan goodness.

The following morning Buffy met the Scooby gang in the library. She had gotten there early so she could talk to Giles. When she entered she saw Giles talking to a young British man wearing a tweed suit, and a dark hair girl who looked to be about her age. Giles waved her over when he saw her come in.
"Buffy, I'm glad you're here. Let me introduce you to-"
"Wesley Wyndam-Pryce of the Watcher's Council. This is Faith, my slayer. I was just telling Mr. Giles that we would have been here sooner but I had to find Faith."
Wesley put out his hand for Buffy to shake. Buffy looked at Giles an unknown question passing between them. Giles nodded and Buffy shook Wesley's hand.
"It seems you are not the only one the Council missed. The prophets didn't see her either."
"Faith is going to be starting her junior year here. I hope you will show her around."
"Sure Giles. Can I talk to you in your office?"
"Alright. If you'll excuse us."
Buffy and Giles went into his office. Giles could tell that Buffy was really nervous about what she had to tell him.
"Buffy? What did you have talk to me about?"
"I wanted to tell you before you found out from one of the others." Buffy was fidgeting in her seat.
"You can tell me Buffy."
"Angel'sbackandhe'scompletelyhuman."
Buffy said the words as fast as she could. She watched Giles's face as her words sank in. His face showed many different emotions. She saw him surprised, upset, and angry. He took several deep breaths.
"When? How?"
"Last night on patrol he showed up. He said the PTTB sent him back because there was a lot of good he could still do. They made him human so that he wouldn't lose his soul again. Giles are you okay?"
"I'm as you put it dealing. What about you? This can't be easy for you either."
"Yeah but I'm not the one he tortured for hours. I'm confused. I thought I was over Angel but I got these feeling that I'm not sure of. I'm also having feelings for someone else. I'm not sure what I want to do."
"We'll just take it one day at a time. We better get out there. It sounds like the others have arrived."
"Okay, but I have to tell you something else. Last night on patrol I used my power on patrol and the vamps caught on fire with one blast. The demon I fought caught on fire after several blasts."
"I would have to say that is because of the Hellmouth. I'll look into it."
Buffy and Giles rejoined the others in the library.
"I see you all have gotten acquainted."
Giles said as they stepped out. Before he could say anything else an announcement from Snyder came over the PA system.
"ATTENTION STUDENTS, I'd like to welcome you all to the beginning of a new school year. I'd like to apologize publicly to Buffy Summers for my assumption that she had something to do with what happened last school year. She was a victim like everyone else who was involved. That is all."
"Wow Buff! Your friends must have really given Snyder a scare to get him to apologize like that."
"I know their pretty great. Come we better get to class. I'll show the Faith the town tonight."
Buffy was walking around Sunnydale trying to figure out her heart's desire. She had sent Faith home several hours earlier. She liked Angel but she also liked Logan. Scott had informed her that they would be leaving tomorrow night. Corsair had gotten picked up by his ship a couple of hours earlier. That gave her less than twenty-four hours to figure out whom she loved more. She took a seat on a park bench to rest and gather her thought, wondering if she could make a decision by then. She felt a hand touch her shoulder, and on instinct grabbed the hand and used her slayer strength to throw the person. She gasped when she realized whom she had thrown. Luckily he landed on his feet.
"Logan! I'm so sorry! Are you all right? What are you doing out here?" Buffy said as she ran to make she hadn't hurt him.
"Nice move you have their darlin. I didn't mean to startle you. It's late and your mom asked Scott if he would look for you. I told Scott I could find you faster. So, what's up?"
"Just thinking."
"Must be some deep thoughts. Wanna talk about it?"
Buffy had remained silent for a minute deciding on whether she should tell Logan about her feelings for him and Angel. She just simply shrugged and remained quiet.
"It's about Angel ain't it?"
He watched as Buffy shook her head no then shook her head yes the no again.
"I don't know. I thought I was over him, but when I saw him, there were all these feelings coming back. Then there's the fact that there's this other guy who I think I've become very close too recently. I think he likes me too."
"He does."
Wolverine said softly. Buffy turned slightly to look at him. She loved the way his face looked. It was soft and gruff at the same time. He took her small delicate hand into his big rough ones. Their eyes locked onto one another, and slowly their bodies moved closer today. Logan loved the feel of Buffy's soft lips against his. Buffy was surprised how gentle Logan's kiss was. The kiss had gone on for several seconds. Logan's kiss was different from Angel's. It was soft and yet full of animal magnetism. When they finally broke apart Buffy's decision was made.
"That was incredible." Buffy whispered. Logan smiled slightly.
"You can say that again."
"Can we do that again?" She asked hopefully.
"I can't think of anything I would like more." Logan broke the kiss not really wanting to stop. "We have to stop. If I don't get you home soon Cyke and the others will come looking for us."
"You're right. I hope you know that I've made my decision."
"And?"
"It's you silly. Kissing you opened my mind and heart to what I wanted. Before I had even knew who you were you were taking care of me. I was a total stranger and you took a chance on me. You always seem to know when I need someone to talk too and when I need to be alone. When I'm around you I don't feel like I have to be the slayer all the time. I feel like I can just be a regular girl. I've noticed that in your own way you're a romantic, cute, silly, charming, caring, and funny especially when you dance."
Buffy laughed and Logan tried to look upset but failed laughing with her.
"You're not afraid to speak your mind, and there's so much more that I love about you."
"You've really put thought in to this." She nodded.
"I want to be with you, if you want to be with me." He nodded. "Walk me home?"
He took her hand making sure she was close. Buffy loved the feeling of having Logan's arms around her. Logan could smell the kiwi shampoo that she used in her hair. It was a scent that would forever remind him of her.
"I've been meaning to ask you darling bout those friends of yours. Willow and Oz? They're different. I can tell."
"Give the man a cigar. You're right they are different. Willow is a witch and Oz is a werewolf."
"A witch and a werewolf?"
He seemed to think for a minute and then shrugged it off. Buffy smiled at how what she just told him didn't faze him.
"You're the best. You know that."
Buffy, Xander, Joyce, Willow, Oz, and Alex watched as the blackbird takes off to go back to New York. Alex was staying behind to help Buffy learn to use her powers more. Especially with the effect they have when on the Hellmouth. Scott had given her one of the X-men's communicator so that they would always be in touch or could locate her. She and Logan had decided to take things very slow until she reached the age of consent, which would be in a few months. He was going back with the promise he would talk to her at least once a day and come down to Sunnydale whenever he could. They had gotten pictures taken of one another so they could see each other every day. Already she was anticipating his phone call and next visit.
NOTES: Had everyone worried didn't I? You guys should have known since I had written several times that I am not a big Angel fan. I had originally thought to draw the competition out between Angel and Logan but I liked this better.
I believe I can work my big Buffy/Logan scene into the next chapter. I just know you all will love it. I'm going to try giving her the telepathy. I think you'll like when you see how I worked it in.
JAMMIES2000: Never a big Angel fan either. Bringing Angel back was purely a plot twist.
SELENE: Some does actually read the notes and reviews. Yes I said Logan. Glad you picked up on that
