"Are you ready?"  Angel looked up and saw Buffy standing in the doorway to his office.  She looked amazing in elegant red dress.  It lay on her small body, with straps keeping it up.  It had slits on either side mid-thigh, the front covered almost nothing.  Angel had to battle with himself to look away.

"Yeah.  Are you sure about this?"

"Nothing like a cool fall night to fake your own death."  Angel smiled, took Buffy's arm and together they walked out to their waiting limo.

It was nearing the end of the party, and Buffy was getting anxious.  Jack and Myles were circulating, along with Wes, Connor, Gunn and Fred.  Iggy, and Lorne were stationed in the Mayors office hooked up to the rest of the group, by skin colored earpieces.

Iggy and Lorne had already managed to cut the fuse on the bomb, but Buffy still had to be traded and killed.  Suddenly, Buffy heard Iggy in her ear.

"Buffy?"

"I'm here Iggs."

"It's go time."

"Alright, I'm switching off."

"See you in twilight."  And with that, Buffy took her earpiece off and started towards the hall leading to the mayor's office.  When the others saw her leave, they stood watching. 

Instead of going to the bathrooms, Buffy turned and boarded the elevators that stood to her left.  Once inside, Buffy pressed the Button for the 5th floor, and the elevator started to move.  But when the elevator reached the 2nd, it stopped just like it was supposed to.

"Goodbye Buffy."  When the doors opened, Buffy smiled out at the two men standing waiting.  They entered the elevator and stood on either side of her.  When the doors closed, they pushed the main floor button and started to search her for weapons.  They finished just as the elevator doors opened.  They each slid an arm in hers and together the three of them walked back to the party together.

They mingled, all the time being watched by Buffy's and Angel's teams.  Finally at midnight, Buffy kissed each of her captors on the check and Iggy threw the switch.

Directly underneath Buffy, the bomb blew.  Angel and the others threw themselves over the mayor and the other officials.  Hurriedly, everyone but Buffy and her captors escaped.  Outside on the pavement, just as the police and fire department arrived, Angel looked back and swore he saw a petit red clad, sooty figure walking away from the building into a nearby alley.

"Goodbye Buffy."
