CHAPTER ONE: Graduation 2 ep- last few minutes
Buffy looked around through all the smoke, trying to catch any glimse of Angel, she wanted to be sure he was alright after the explosion. More so, she needed one last look at him before he left her. She closed her eyes and followed her heart, it called out for it, sang to his heart. As soon as she felt his eyes on her, she opened them and took a look. Should she walk over there? Before she could decide, Giles called her and they spoke for a second, and she returned her attention back to her lover. Or, where he had stood. Buffy assumed he knew she wanted another good-bye, and left. Neither of them could handle going through it, so again he did what he thought was best. Leave. Or did he?
The slayer returned her attention to her watcher. Her mentor, more than that to her father. Giles made a comment that complimented what she did tonight, but she couldn't really understand, she was confused, and out of it.
She looked at him for a long second and said, "Fire bad, tree pretty." and smiled weakly at him. Giles nodded. He understood, his 'adopted' child had been through a lot lately. "Well, I guess we will resume this later. I just want you know I am very, very proud of you Buffy."
She nodded. And then heard Xander summon her over to the group of slayerettes. "Gone on, do the party thing." Giles said to her. Again she smiled, Buffy guessed somethings would always stay the same. Giles would never understand the young kids of today. She walked towards her peers.
"Hey." She said simi merrily. It surprised her, shouldn't she be depressed? Nah, she thought Lets be depressed tomorrow. I just saved the world.... again.
Willow looked at her and grinned. She sat next to Oz ona bench that seemed to have survived the explosion. Cordeila stood behind them, and Anya was next to Xander, who stood next to his hero. "Giles said we should party." she said.
They all nodded. "So, it's the Bronze then?" Oz asked, although it should have been a statement, where else would they go?
Everyone began walking in that direction. "Well, I guess it's good he's gone now, maybe you can be somewhat normal." Xander said to Buffy. She became steemed at that comment, but refused to say anything. It's what Angel felt was best, best for both of them.
Cordeila quickly changed the subject, knowing something could come of this if her ex didn't shut up. Sometimes she wished she could return to life BX, but then she thought, I'm a better person, I think. she inwardly laughed.
"Well, I'm going to LA. Try acting on for size. I was thinking horror movies since I've got the scream down."
After that everyone began talking about their future's. To a degree Buffy was jealous, their futures could be certain. Hers however, well did she even have a future? Or for that matter a chance to be normal? She didn't say much about her future dreams, because when it came to it, now she really had none. All she had known before was slaying and Angel and a life with him, now that was suddenly ripped away. Buffy knew she needed time to develop, but she would think more about in the morning. Right now, it was time to celebrate, she'd just saved the damn world. Again.
