"Hi, Buffy how was school." Joyce Summers greeted Buffy when she got home.

"Same old same old. Books, big building school never changes." Buffy stated and threw her backpack on the couch.

"So where's dad?" Buffy wondered and looked around.

"He had to go back to LA. He has a big deal coming threw." Joyce explained and Buffy just rolled her eyes. Buffy's father Hank Summers was never home and when he was home he would do nothing, but sit on the couch and watch football. Buffy didn't understand why her mother didn't just divorce Hank. The only reason Buffy could think of was because her mother loved Hank too much to leave him.

"I'm going up stairs to call Willow and Cordelia." Buffy told her mother as she started up the stairs.

"Wait, Buffy." Her mother called her and she turned around.

"We're having the new neighbors for dinner. So be down for dinner at nine and I would like you to dress nicely." Joyce told her.

"Nicely?" Buffy teased and tilted her head.

"You know what I mean." Joyce smiled and walked away.

Later that night Angel was walking to his neighbors for dinner. When he had gotten home his parents told him about the dinner invitation. He wasn't exactly happy about it especially since he had to wear a tuxedo, which he found uncomfortable. Angel didn't understand why he had to wear a tuxedo to dinner with the neighbors, but by the looks for their house they had money and plenty of it. They probably ate snails too. Angel wasn't rich and never wished to be rich.

"Stand up straight, Angel." His mother ordered once they had made it to the neighbor's front door. Angel just grinned at his mother and then his father pushed the doorbell. He heard someone yell and then a few seconds later the door opened.

The door opened to reveal Buffy. She was wearing a white dress; her hair was up with a few strands falling from each side of her face. Buffy Summers was his next-door neighbors that thought ran threw his mind a million times. Angel was hoping to see some kind of expression to show that Buffy was happy to see him, but to his disappointment he got nothing. When Angel's family got into the house a lady was coming down the stair with a huge smile one. Angel had a good guess that it was Buffy's mother.

"I'm glad you came, Mary." Buffy's mother said hugging Angel's mother.

"Wouldn't miss it for the world, Joyce." Mary said to Joyce.

"So who is this?" Joyce asked looking at Angel and she gave Buffy a little push towards Angel.

"This is my son Angel. He should be that same age as your daughter and you know my husband Richard." Mary introduced them.

"Buffy why don't you show Angel around. Dinner won't be served for another twenty minutes." Joyce told her daughter. Then Buffy started to walk to another room and Angel followed her not knowing what to say.

"Do you want to see the pool?" Buffy asked turning around to face Angel. Angel just froze for a minute because Buffy was close enough to kiss.

"Sure," Angel shrugged once he got his voice back. He really didn't care about seeing the pool, but he would be with Buffy. Then they walked out into the cold night to see a lit up pool with a rock waterfall. Buffy sat down on one of the chairs by the pool and Angel sat next to her.

"You have a nice house." Angel stated. He still didn't know what to say to her without making an idiot of him self.

"Yeah, if you like chandlers and cocktail bars." Buffy sighed.

"So.... do you have a boyfriend?" Angel asked and then a second later he wished he hadn't.

"No, why?" Buffy asked and turned her head to look at the waterfall.

"Just curious. I'm surprised someone like you is single." Angel said acting like me knew nothing about Parker, which was the truth besides that he was Buffy's ex.

"My last boyfriend cheated on me and said same nasty stuff to me. So I decided to stay away from having a boyfriend for a while." Buffy explained and then let out a huge sigh. Then Buffy looked down at the ground like she was ashamed that she had told him all that. There was a few minutes of silences and Angel felt like he really needed to pouch Parker for what he did to Buffy.

"I don't know why I just told you all that, but you seem nice enough. We could be good friends." Buffy stated and looked up from the ground and smiled at him. Angel felt a pain in his heart when she said friends.

"Yeah, friends." Angel smiled back at her. He wondered if that's all they'll ever be, friends.
