The next morning, Faith woke up, it was a bout 8:30, school started at (:30 so she took a quick shower, got dressed and went downstairs where she saw Dawn and Connor talking and eating breakfast.

Faith: Hi guys.

Dawn: Hi Faith, where's Buffy?

Faith: She went to the doctor's office, remember.

Dawn: Oh yeah, okay, cool, hey listen, Connor and me are leaving for school. I sit okay if we go over a friend's house?

Faith: Which friend?

Dawn: Um... Janice.

Faith: Sure, be back before dark.

Dawn: No problem, bye.

Faith: Bye.

Connor and Dawn walked out the door to go to school.

She sat at the counter drinking a glass of apple juice when Angel snuck up behind her with out knowing and tapped her back. She jumped up real quick spitting her juice in Angel's face. Angel did not seem amused.

Faith: Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry Angel.

He just took a paper towel and wiped his face off.

Angel: It's okay, you're really jump.

Faith: Always been. I'm real sorry.

Angel looked as if he had just taken a shower because his hair was wet and water was dripping down his face from his hair.

Angel: I said it was okay. Calm down okay.

Faith: Okay, I just... I dunno.

Angel: Well, um... do you wanna drop you off at school?

Faith: It's not necessary; it's only... 3 miles away. I can walk.

Angel: No, now you *are* coming with me.

He let out a laugh.

Faith: What?

Angel: Only 3 miles?

He laughed again. Now she couldn't help but laugh.

Angel: Do you want anything to eat?

Faith: I'm not that hungry. It's okay.

Angel: Why don't you ever say yes? It's okay, you not imposing.

Faith: (A bit sad) I dunno, I guess... when we were little, you know me, Buffy and Dawn. Our mom always told us it was disrespectful to ask for things you know, and I guess it just stuck.

Angel: Faith, remember, you guys aren't staying there anymore...

He sat real close to her and took her hands in his.

Angel cont'd: ...you know that it's okay now, it's all gonna be okay.

Faith: (Tears) I know but everything won't be, Angel... everything is not perfect and I just wish...

Just then Angel leaned in and brushed his lips on hers. He pulled away. Faith was surprised. A small smile occurred on her face and she brushed her tears away. He still held onto her hands.

Angel: Trust me, everything *will* be okay.

Faith was silent.

Angel: Say it.

Faith: Everything will be okay.

Angel: There you go, you said it, and everything will be okay.

Faith leaned in and gave him a hug.

Faith: Thank you.

Angel: No problem. Now come on, let's go to school.

Faith smiled, grabbed her book bag and stood up. She followed Angel into his car and drove off.

~~~

Buffy: they found a cure...

Spike: What, that's great!

Buffy was so happy, she hugged Spike so big and kissed him on the cheek.

Buffy: They said they can do the operation by Saturday.

Spike: That's awesome.

Buffy: Thank you doctor.

Doctor: No problem, remember, Saturday bright and early.

Buffy: I will.

Spike and Buffy walked out the doctor's office and stood in front of his car. Spike hugged her. Buffy was so happy she was crying. Spike lifted her up and spun her around, he kissed her forehead, she rested her head on his chest, she was a bit tired and fell asleep, he carried her in his arms and into his car and put her in her seat. She continued to sleep. He hopped in his side of the car and drove off; she rested her head on his shoulder and was a sleep for the rest of the ride to the school. He jus wish it could stay like this her with him, though he knew it wouldn't happen, all they would be was friends.

~~~

Spike sat in his car, they got to the school. Buffy was still asleep. She was very tired, mostly because of the illness she had. He got out of the car, went around to her door and knelt to her a the door was open. He shook her lightly.

Spike: Sweetie, we're here, come on, wake up.

She woke up very softly and quietly.

Buffy: (Quiet) Hi.

Spike: Hi, come on, we have school.

Buffy: Okay. She got out of the car and took her book bag. He thought she looked so cute today. She wore a light blue denim mini skirt, a white tank top, a pair of white Nike low tops and her hair was curled. He smiled. Buffy smiled at him.

Buffy: Well, I'll see you later.

Spike: Okay.

Buffy walked off. She found Xander and Willow sitting on a couch in the cafeteria.

Buffy: Hi guys.

Willow: Hey, I called you on Saturday, how come you weren't there?

Buffy: Well, um... remember how I told you guys how my moms use to drink and stuff?

Xander: Yeah, but what does that have to do with anything?

Buffy: Well, she's doing it again. I came home from going on a d... from being out; anyways... she hurt Dawn and Faith. Me to actually.

Xander: Oh, you mean that nasty cut is from your mom?

Buffy: Yeah, anyways... she kicked me, Dawn and Faith out.

Willow: Are you guys okay?

Buffy: Yeah, we're getting better, Dawn seems okay, and she never really got along with mom.

Xander: Where are you staying?

Buffy: Well, we're staying at Spike and Angel's.

Willow: Are you for real?

Buffy: Yeah, but we're only friends.

Willow: (Disappointed) Oh. So did you go t that doctor's appointment this morning.

Buffy: Yup, (very excited) they found a cure!

Xander and Willow: That's great!

Buffy: Yup!

The red headed girl, (Willow) stood up to give her best friend a hug.

Willow: Congratulations!

Buffy: Thank you.

Xander was next to give her a hug.

Xander: I'm glad Buff.

Buffy gave him a smile.

Buffy: Well, I'm gonna go, I gotta get my books and stuff.

Willow: Okay, bye.

Buffy: Bye.

Buffy walked off and went to her locker. She opened it and took her books out then shut her locker. She turned around and someone knocked her books out of her arms and they went flying on the floor. It was Cordelia, Buffy should have known.

Cordelia: Oops, sorry. (Sarcastically)

She gave an evil laugh.

Buffy: Screw you.

Cordelia: Ooo, good comeback.

Buffy bent down to pick up her books. After picking up her books, she stood up and Cordelia knocked them out of her hands again.

Cordelia: Oh, I'm so sorry, that was so careless of me.

Yet, Buffy tryed to stay cool and picked her books up once again.

Cordelia: Well, how's it going with the new guy Spike huh Buffy?

Buffy: None of your business.

Cordelia: Are you dating him because I think I might give him a try.

Buffy became very angry.

Buffy: Cordelia, stay the *hell* away from me and my friends.

Cordelia: Oh, well, I dunno, ma...

Just then Angel approached. Cordelia happened to like him too.

Cordelia: Oh hi Angel. Um... would you like to go sometime?

Angel: Actually Cordy, I was kinda busy watching you be a *bitch* to my friend.

That got Cordelia angry and she walked off with a loud groan.

Angel: Hi Buff, you ok?

Buffy: Besides for the fact that she was dissin' me and knocked my books out of my hands twice... yeah, I'm fine.

Angel: Hey I was gonna ask you something.

Buffy: Yeah?

Angel: Do you think... would Faith... do...

Buffy: Come on Angel, spit it out.

Angel: (Exhale) Ok, do you think Faith would go out on a date with me?

Buffy looked at him, he looked at her hopefully trying to get a yes from her.

Buffy: Angel... Faith has a history as a player. I'm not saying you shouldn't ask her out but watch yourself. I'll talk to her. Though, I think she really likes you and you should give it a shot.

Angel: Thanks, I will. Don't tell her though; I want to tell her my self ok.

Buffy: Okay. No problem.

Angel walked off and she closed her locker that she had been standing in front of and went to computer class. Time to do that stupid project. She was glad it was almost done.

~~~

Buffy got to class and sat in her seat next to Faith on her right and also next to Angel on her left. She logged onto the computer, she began to type to her partner.
