"The key thing in talking is that you talk, who's first?" Buffy said to the
quiet Riley.
"There's so much. It's kind of hard to talk about it all."
"I bet I have more. Let's see..."
"Oh, how about this. Why wasn't your mom there when I came with Sam?"
"One of those things that happened while you were gone, she uh died."
"Buffy, that's huge, why didn't you tell me when I was there?"
"Uh, I didn't really want to bring it up, you know, it would've been
awkward with Sam there."
"Nonsense, you could've told me." His eyes showed that he meant what he
said.
"Okay, let me start with something else not involving my mom, Dawn was the
key, which opens hell, to save her I jumped into this portal, only Summers
blood can open and close it, I died..."
"What? You died? How is it possible?"
"Oh, it's happened once before that, in high school, but lets get back.
Willow and Xander brought me from the dead, total trauma because I had to
dig out of my grave, I had to learn alot of things again, you came back,
Tara died of gunshot, Willow went evil, I met the first evil, met Kaleb the
evil murderous preacher, I went under the hellmouth, Anya died, and we
totaled Sunnydale, that's a great summary of the past three years."
"Woh, you did beat me, God, you've died twice, how'd you die the first
time?"
"High School, I was sixteen, I met the Master, this evil gnarled super-
vamp, he bit me, then, dropped me in the pond in his nest, went out to
harvest, I drowned, Xander and Angel found me and well, I lived."
"Buffy, you died before I met you, I'm so glad you lived, or else..."
"I wouldn't have met you, neat huh?"
"Which also means that if it wasn't for Angel, even if I hate to admit it,
I wouldn't have met you."
"He also tried to kill me a few times when he was evil, but don't bring it
up. So what about you?"
"Oh, not much compared to yours, I went to South America, fought demons,
met Sam, got married, fought demons, came to Sunnydale, fought demons, left
Sunnydale, fought demons, fought demons, fought demons, got divorced, I
left South America, came to Sunnydale to find you, saw the ruin, came here,
and here I am."
"I thought you said you came for a place to rest."
"I thought I did at first, but now I know the real reason I'm back." He
smiled at her while his cheeks glowed pink.
"Okay, turn here, and here we are!" They ended up in the parking lot of
Wolfram & Hart, their eyes expanded and glowed with amazement.
"Wow, I didn't know it was this big, holy cow! He hit the lottery with
this."
"Are we sure we want to go inside that place?" Buffy asked.
"We have to, I need a reason for driving the streets of LA." Riley got out
of the car after he parked it in a conveniently open space."Come on,
Buffy." He said as he went around to unlock the door, he did, opened it,
and pulled her out.
They walked in the massive law office and went straight to the
secretary desk.
"Hi Harmony, tell Angel he has a visitor, I mean two." Buffy said and then
smiled up at Riley.
"Oh, see who's on the rebound so fast." Harmony taunted and then pressed
the intercom button and told him he had visitors. He told her to send them
up. When Riley and Buffy went into the elevator Riley asked ", Rebound? Am
I rebound?"
"No, I just had this little fling with Spike, Harmony the 'itch must've
heard wind of our thing."
"A fling? Last time I saw him, you were in bed with each other! I don't
call that a fling. But, if you choose me, fine, you know I have a very
fragile ego."
"Haha, Mr. Ego man, chin up." Buffy put her hand under his chin and brought
it up about two millimeters.
1, 2, 3, and they were there. Buffy and Riley stepped out of the elevator
and walked down the lavish hallway, until Buffy heard Angel's voice and
stopped at the door from which she heard it.
Knock, Knock.
"Wait a minute, I'll be there. Just wait." Angel said, he opened the door
and he saw Buffy's face.
"Buffy? I'm surprised, even though you called about two hours ago." Angel
grinned her way. Then, Angel turned his gaze. "Riley. Now I'm even more
surprised." Angel's jaw set in a position which was neither a smile nor a
frown, it was in the middle.
