"I can not believe Xander did that," laughed Buffy walking hand in hand with Angelus. "How did her accomplish that?"
"He told the teacher his dog ate his report, and even brought his dog in with the part of the report still in its mouth as proof," Angelus finished his funny story about Xander.
"The teacher must have been flabbergasted," stated Buffy laying her head on Angelus's arm.
After their morning make-out session, which Buffy was still humming from, the two eighteen year olds had decided to take a walk. A walk that ended up lasting two hours at current time.
"Lets sit for awhile," suggested Angelus coming to a halt in front of a park bench.
"Okay," agreed Buffy sitting down on his lap.
Comfortable silence set in as the two enjoyed being in each others arms. Resting her head against Angelus chest images of Madeline and Spike showed up.
"Angelus?" Buffy spoke up softly. She nuzzled his neck feeling him grin at the action.
"Yes, Miracle," he remarked using a new nickname for her.
Buffy felt wonderful at hearing the nickname and continued her question," Do you believe in ghosts?" she inquired hoping he didn't think she was weird at asking such a thing.
Angelus looked down at the tiny goddess in his arms," I don't know," he admitted truthfully. "I have to see something before I believe in," he clarified. "Why the sudden interests?"
Sitting up in his lap Buffy looked into his tan handsome face," It's just that I have heard some stories floating around that my Uncle was saying he saw some ghosts, but no one believed him," she replied intertwining her fingers behind Angelus's head.
Angelus looked down at his hand hands on her waist before meeting her innocent gaze,"Your Uncle William claimed that Old Creek had a little girl and her brother living there. When your Aunt asked to met these two, William told her they were dead, and that he had promised to help them. Of course, your Aunt thought he was joking and so did the very few people he had talked to about it, but then the accident happened and everyone had to wonder if what he had said was true," confirmed Angelus wondering why Buffy wanted to know this stuff all of a sudden.
"Did he keep anything that you know of about his so call ghost friends," wondered Buffy with a innocent grin. 'Don't let the man of your dreams think you're crazy,' she told herself as she waited for Angelus to answer.
"I think, Willow mentioned something about a black journal he was writing in a lot towards the end. Buffy, is there some reason you asking all of this?" he questioned curiously. He wanted to help her if there was something she needed help with.
"I just want to know what happen to my Uncle and why he believed in these so call ghosts," claimed Buffy making a mental note to look for the journal when she got home. "Does Willow or even Tara know where my uncle put his journal?"
"Willow said that he wrote a lot in his study, so it's probably somewhere in there," returned Angelus. "Buffy, you know if you ever have something you feel like talking about, I'm a really good listener, and I promise not to think you were crazy," he vowed bring his hand up to lay in upon her warm cheek and caressed it softly.
Buffy slide her cheek against his hand smiling at his words. "If I find what I'm looking for, then I'll tell you," she promised. "I just want some kind of proof," she explained more when she saw hurt cross Angelus's face.
"Okay," agreed Angelus letting the subject go for now. He had a feeling that Buffy had seen something that was bugging her, but he could wait until she told him.
"Thank you," said Buffy giving him a loving sweet kiss. She lucked out this summer meeting such a great guy. "So have you decided on a college yet?" she asked lying back against his chest.
"I am heading to UCLA this coming fall," revealed Angelus glad with the decision he had made last night. "I'm going to need someone to show me around," he hinted planting a kiss on Buffy's neck.
"Well I suppose I can fit it into my schedule," laughed Buffy thrilled that he was going to UCLA. That meant their realtionship, however, it may progress didn't have to end at summers end, but could continue. Long distance relationships were hard, she knew that from first hand experience. Having Angelus at the same school with her was a huge plus, and who knew maybe after college they get married and have…wait getting a little head of yourself there aren't ya Buffy.
"Then I take that as a yes, and a yeah," countered Angelus laughing as a happy Buffy threw her arms around him and shook her head yes.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"I'll call you later," said Angelus later the day as they stood outside of Buffy's Aunt's door way.
"Defenitly," declared Buffy before leaning in for a good-bye kiss.
"Willow is working with your Aunt today, so she's probably somewhere in the house," he informed her when they parted.
"I'm sure I will," remarked Buffy.
"Buffy, is that you?" inquired Ryan opening the door for his young mistress.
"Yes, Ryan," implied Buffy sharing a smile with Angelus.
"Your Aunt wishes to speak with you," Ryan realted sharing a polite nod at Angelus. "Good-afternoon, Sir."
"Good-afternoon, Ryan," returned Angelus. "I'll call," he told Buffy before leaving her to attend to her Aunt's request.
Unbeknow to them a pair of blue eyes watched.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Aunt Jenny," called Buffy walking into her Aunt's den, only to find it empty. 'That's weird,' thought Buffy. 'Ryan said she was in here.' "Aunt Jenny," she called once more walking towards what use to be her Uncle's den. Maybe she was working in there.
When she reached the small reticence room, however, her Aunt wasn't there. 'That's weird,' she thought once more.
"He wrote in the den," Angelus words rang in Buffy's head as she got an idea.
Making sure the door was closed, Buffy made her way over to one of the three bookshelfs. Scanning the books, she didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Every book that was black was a reading book.
'This isn't pan out,' commented Buffy to herself when she scanned the last book on the selves. 'Maybe he put it somewhere else,' she reasoned looking around the room.
Everything seemed so organized, and clean. If you didn't know any better you would think that the person whom room it was still alive. Her Uncle William had been a neat freak, he liked everything in its place. Getting up from the floor she was sitting on, she was heading opening the door when something caught the corner of her eye.
'It can't be,' she thought walking back over to west bound wall. 'Is that a door?' she question running her fingers along the crack in the wall.
The crack began to move under Buffy's fingers. Carefully as not to make a noise or damage anything, Buffy pulled the lose wall. When it gave way, Buffy found herself looking into a small square size passage way.
Sitting back on her knees, she contemplated whether or not to enter. It looked steady enough for her to go into. It was big enough for an adult if they really squeezed together. Taking a deep breath, the eighteen year old crawled on her hands and knees through the passage way, making sure that the door was being held open by something heavy.
'What is in here?' she asked as she moved along the gray damp tunnel. She followed straight and when it came to a slanted path, she calmed the nervous that were buzzing inside of her and went up through that. When she finally saw a bit of bright light, she sigh with relieve, but stopped dead in her tracks when her right hand hit something hollow. Glancing over to her right, she knocked lightly on the wall causing it to open up. It looked like a little safe, and inside for her eyes to slightly see laid something.
