"Buffy?" Angel asked as he opened his eyes.

"Yeah, it's me, who else did you expect?" Buffy asked smiling.

"Mom, it's so good to see you again." Tiama said as she got and almost hugged Buffy.

Buffy backed up. "You can't touch me here, it's not like when I'm on earth."

"Oh," Tiama said sitting down sadly.

"Why are you here?" Angel asked.

"Because I'm the person with the answers to the questions you have."

"So they gave you the "all knowing" thing up here?" Angel asked.

"It's about time, too bad I couldn't have it when I was alive."

"Is this heaven?" Tiama asked.

"No, it's like a waiting from to heaven I guess. They won't let me in till everyone I love on earth is ok."

"Oh, so we're the reason you haven't been able to go in yet?" Tiama asked.

"Not just you, it's the whole gang too."

"Yeah they're taking this pretty hard." Angel said.

"I can't reach them, I need you to help me." Buffy said to Angel.

"How can I? I can barely help me self." Angel said sadly.

"You have to or I'll never get to heaven."

"Maybe I don't want you to."

"What so you can reach me when ever you want me?"

"Is that so wrong?"

"It's selfish."

"I'm a vampire, I think I'm allowed to be selfish everyone once and a while."

"But I can't stay here forever Angel, I don't want to."

Looking at her parents together, Tiama realized how much they really loved each other. "Um… not to rush you two are anything but I don't know how much time we have…" Tiama said to Buffy and Angel.

"She's right, I don't know how much time they're going to give me." Buffy said.

"Fine, we'll get to the questions." Angel said mad.

"Ask away, there's nothing I can't tell you." Buffy said truthfully.

"I want to know why Tiama is the new slayer." Angel asked.

"Because she's my daughter." Buffy said truthfully.

"I thought being the Slayer was something that wasn't passed down."

"Well I'm the first Slayer to have a child, so they've never had to test the theory before."

"How could you let this happen?" Angel asked mad.

"How could I have stopped it? I didn't even know she exited." Buffy said back mad.

"Well I had my reasons for not telling you."

"Yeah I bet, but I wish you would have so I could of at least trained her."

"Trained her to do what die?"

"Will you guys stop it!" Tiama screamed as she started to cry. "This is the first time I've ever seen you two together and it might be the last so please don't fight." Tiama begged.

"I'm sorry sweetie." Buffy said. "We won't fight." She said looking at Angel.

"Right, we won't."

"So are there any other questions?" Buffy asked.

"Am I going to die like you?" Tiama asked.

"Where did Tiama and Angel go?" Oz asked Willow.

"To there rooms I suppose." Willow said back.

Cordy came down the stairs quickly. "Their doors are locked and I can't hear anything." She said worried.

"Do you think something happened?" Wesley asked.

"I don't but what if something did?" Cordy asked.

"Did you even knock?" Giles asked.

"Yeah, I banged very loudly and no one answered."

"Ok, well maybe…. Maybe you're just over reacting." Gunn said.

"No I'm not, something is going and I want to know what it is!" Cordy said mad.

"Ok calm down, there's got to be a simple solution to this." Fred said.

"Yeah they're dead." Spike said.

"No they're not!" Damon screamed back at him.

"Ignore him, he's just trying to be annoying and he's succeeding." Xander said.

"But what if he's right?" Cordy asked.

"He's Spike, he's never right." Xander said as he tried to comfort her.
