LATER THAT NIGHT

Faith strolled into Wes office with a bounce in her step. Smiling happily she leaned her body against the wall as she waiting for the others to come in. Smiling to herself as the feel of happiness cursed throught her body.

SPIKE- looks like someone got lucky

Faith stared at Spike in shock.

FAITH - not so much of the dust how'd you ecaspe spike. slither away like the snake you are.

SPIKE- Wow touchy - who could the guy be

Watching Faiths reaction Spike whistled low

SPIKE - Sleeping you way to topwith the boss huh

A low dirty laugh shook spikes body before Faiths quick movements shocked Spike with a punch so forceful his body was forced off the ground.

FAITH- wanna do the whole me kicking your ass bit again !!!

SPIKE- I seem to remember it the other way around

Faith moved quickly and swung low and using her leg she whipped the legs out beneath SPike and he fell to the ground with a thud. Spike rolled quickly and jumped to hit feet and swung a punch at Faith's face but missed as the slayer kicked his chest hard.

WILLOW - SPIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The fight stopped as Faith gave Spike a dirty look. Spike nodded in response to Willows shock.

WILLOW- we thought you had gone all *poof* into dust

SPIKE - less of the poof more of the vanish

WILLOW- WOW wait til Buffy finds out

Willow rushed to the phone and stopped at the handset. Looking round she fixed Spike a puzzled eexpression.

WILLOW- how long have you not been "vanished Spike"

Seeing spikes look of shame willow gasped

WILLOW - you werent.........you mean you .....werent even going ... going to tell BUffy.

SPIKE- *cough* well .........

ANGEL- You must be confusing Spike with someone else Willow. Spike liked the dramatic exit he left

Spike growled

SPIKE - stuff this

Spike stormed out of the office. Angel scanned the room for Faith and found her leaning against a wall, watching him. Angel blushed thinking about the previous night. Faith met his eyes and they held the glance until willow coughed

ALMOST AN HOUR LATER

WES OFFICE

Willow sat wondering how to make the spell work. There were so many factors that could go wrong. They had talked about the other ingredients she would need and Angel and Faith had left to go get them. Thinking of the way Angel and Faith had looked at each other made Willow smile. Angel deserved happiness and Buffy and him had long ago decided to stop abusing the love they had once shared. Buffy had moved on, she just hoped that Angel had too. The look she had seen had to be true for her spell to...

Door opens and Wes walks in.

WES: Ahh Willow. how is the spell developing?

WILLOW: Wes you missed the meeting.

WES: Yes I wanted to check on Fred

Wes blushed as willow smiled. Seems like love is all around.

Willow though of Kennedy and suddenly missed her. Determind to call Kennedy as soon as she could she went back top the spell.

WES: When will we be ready for the spell?

WILLOW: As soon as Angel brings me the ingredients we can start

WES: thats good. The sooner the better. There is no telling how long we can hold Angelus

Willow nodded with a strange look in her face, Wes was about to question the young witch when he heard Angels voice in the corrider. Willow gathers her books and sends a silent prayer up to the gods that everything goes to plan..... as Angel walked into the room Willow hoped she had not unde3r estimated him.

ANGEL: got everything on the list and I checked it twice

Angel winked as willow laughed

WILLOW: gonna find out whose naughty whose nice.

As her words sank in to her heart she became serious.

WILLOW: lets go

They headed out the doors
