Part 3

After a long night at the magic shop, the gang decided to retire to their beds for some much needed rest. Buffy took a hot shower and climbed into her PJs. She yawned sleepily as she climbed into bed and snuggled closer to Angel. He put his arm around her and kissed her on the forehead.

"Did you have a nice shower?"

"Mmmmm...the best. Now sleep."

"You know, I've been lying here thinking. You really think this thing could be aliens?"

"Angel, don't worry about it right now. We need to rest up for patrol tonight. We're going to figure out what's going on. Now, shh! I need my beauty rest."

Angel pulled his love closer to him and closed his eyes.

The gang met back up at the magic shop around six. Xander had been kind enough to pick up burgers for everybody and even went as far as to stop by the butcher and pick Angel up a pint of blood.

"Thanks for the food Xand. You rock."

"Well, I figure if Sunnyhell's going to get invaded by Martians, we better get all the hamburgers and junk food we can eat. Who knows what we'll be eating when they kidnap us and take us to their planet. I mean, we're talking hamburgers and junk food versus cabob o' alien."

Everyone just stared at him blankly.

He huffed, "I really am going to find new friends."

Buffy rolled her eyes, "Anyway, Giles, have you found anything else?"

"Well, I've found a couple of demons that vaguely fit the description you gave me, however, the species are extinct, and have been for many centuries."

"Remember Balthazar? Fill me in on how to terminate these two baddies."

"Umm...," he went over and grabbed a book and turned a few pages, "one of them has some of the same weaknesses of a vampire, holy water, beheading, and the other," he turned a few more pages, "must be burned."

"Okay, everybody go home and get artillery friendly. We'll meet back here in half an hour. We're going hunting."
