Part 11.
Back at the Summers house Dawn, Willow and Tara sat in the lounge room watching cartoons.
"Where do you think Buffy is?" Dawn asked quietly.
"Probably still at Angel's." Willow answered her.
They all paused as they heard the front door open.
"Hello?" Buffy's familiar voice called out.
"In here!" Three voices hollered from the lounge.
Buffy smiled at the sight of the three of them. Each was still in her pyjamas, all of them curled up together amidst a pile of blankets and cushions. "Having a good morning?" she asked them.
"Did you have a good morning?" Dawn countered.
Buffy flopped down into an armchair. "I did." She agreed.
"So what did you do?" Dawn pressed.
"Slept, woke up, chatted for a bit, then Gunn drove me home." Buffy summarized for them.
"Sounds like you had a fun night then." Tara smiled.
"Slept better than I have in ages." Buffy agreed, "Right now, that's a fun night."
"You know that if there's anything we can do, anything you want, you can always talk to us." Willow said to her.
"How do you know me so well?" Buffy dropped down onto the couch next to her friend.
"Angel." Willow said knowingly, brushing Buffy's hair back off her face.
"Got it in one. After all this time, he can still make my heart go bump, bump." Buffy made the motion over her heart.
"But you can be together now, right?" Tara asked.
"We can be together now. He says we'll make it work this time." Buffy nodded.
"But you're not so sure?" Willow asked.
"No, I know we'll be okay, and he's the loyal type so I'm not worried about that either." Buffy began, "It's just..."
"Conner?" Dawn asked.
"God no, I love Conner. It's nothing important, just me being insecure." Buffy shook off the line of questions, calling it to an abrupt halt.
"So, what do you wanna do today?" Dawn asked. "It's bright and sunny out."
"We could go to the beach!" Willow said excitedly.
"Yeah!" Dawn cheered. "We haven't been there in ages."
"We could even ask Angel and everyone if they want to come." Willow shot Buffy a sidelong glance. "What do you say?"
"I think it sounds like a great idea. I'll call the others, you call Xander and Anya." Buffy replied, a smile on her face.
