"Buffy, where'd you find him? I thought he was long gone." Angel asked as they made way into his office where they were surrounded by several people, Wesley, whom she knew, an African American man, a brunette woman, and a blonde woman.

"Well, he was, he was at my dad's house." Buffy said.

"So this is the famous Buffy?" The man asked.

"Yes, Gunn, this is Buffy." Angel gestured to her.

"Hi, I'm Buffy, hello Wesley." Buffy waved.

"And I'm Riley." Riley introduced himself.

"So Buffy let us get back to the subject, he was at your dad's house? Of course I told him to go there." Angel asked, making order.

"Is he the thing you didn't want me to see?" Buffy asked.

"No, he's not..." Angel replied.

"I am." Said a familiar cockney voice, Buffy turned and saw Spike at the doorway, apparently listening to every word.

"So deserter boy, you got back in Buffy's A list again? Goodies for you." Spike taunted.

"Spike, shut up. Don't be a pig." Buffy said.

"That wadn't what you said at our last meeting, you said 'Spike, I love you.' Which you didn't mean because you're by the side of him again. The married chap."

"Married? You don't know what you're joking about, Spike, I swear I'll still stake you even if it kills me. I haven't been married for a while now." Riley said angrily.

"I'd like to see you try it." Spike stuck out his tongue.

"Spike how? You burned. I saw you with my own eyes." Buffy asked.

"That damn amulet of Angel's did it, it took me inside, I was a damn ghost, they made me solid." Spike angrily shouted.

"Good thing, because you can leave." Angel said crudely.

"BOYS! Settle the hell down! These folks didn't want a boxing match. Spike and Riley go to separate corners, Angel resume your meeting, I will sit on the couch."

"Buffy.." "Riley! Don't make me send you into the hallway! I'm tired of all this crap filled rivalry, every one of you guys hate each other, get over it! I know what I have to do, I just have to think about it for awhile." Buffy sat on the nice soft over-stuffed couch.

"Hi, Buffy, I've heard so much about you, I'm Fred, nice to meet you." The brunette stuck out her hand.

"Nice to meet you too." Buffy shook her hand and smiled.

"Hello, Buffy, how did the hellmouth experience go? I heard it was quite spectacular, by Spike's account." Wesley asked quietly.

"Yeah, it was exhilarating, that amulet reflected sunlight and bam, there was fire and flames, Spike exploded himself." Buffy replied.

"Like a magnifying glass effect? Interesting." Gunn said.

"I suppose. It was really neat, to catch up with the bus I ran on top of buildings, it was fun, I finally caught up with it though."

"Cool. I thought only superheroes like Batman and Angel could do that." Fred remarked.

"A superhero? I wouldn't call him that, he's more of a darkness guy, he doesn't fight corny villains in tights and capes." Buffy laughed.

"Ahem! Can you five let me get back to the meeting?" Angel shouted but it was no use, they kept chatting.
