Thanks for the reviews

For whoever called me a moron: I'm deft. sure I warned that this was a Spuffy in the title.... If I didn't I'll go now, but I don't think you made a good choice saying Spuffy sucks.....especially here. (***************************************************************)

"Err....ummm....."Angel was speechless at Gunn's comment. Nina herself seemed a little uncomfortable and was now very interested with the pattern of the ceiling. A silence hung over them as they stood there for a few seconds.

"I think I'll visit another night, Angel." Nina said, giving the souled vampire a smile before getting up quietly and walking out the door.

"Yes, umm," Angel said, "Let's go." The group walked out of his office and into the elevator.

"So she's your new girlfriend?" Buffy asked, breaking the tension.

"Ummm...yah, we've been seeing each other." Angel replied, before walking out into the parking lot.

"Hummer?" Gunn asked, before pressing a button, causing a car to auto drive from its parking spot.

"Get on, everyone." Angel said, as he hopped onto the car. *****

Spike entered the humid demon bar by the back door. He needed a drink before visiting ol' Team Angel. In a dark corner sat a large scaly demon that looked like half dragon and half human, sitting there with a deck of cards and a friend.

"Spike... how bout a game of poker?" Yvonne the raymore demon said, shuffling a deck of cards with his ugly, scaly hands.

"Deal." Spike ordered as he sat down among his poker buddies. They didn't play for kittens anymore but really, he didn't care. It's not like he's Clem.

"You know tonight is open mike night on stage...." Federovy said, looking at the cards between his long floppy fingers.

"Your point is?" Spike asked, looking at the cards he was just given.

"How bout, who ever looses this game, has to sing up there?" Yvonne suggested. Personally, the demon was tired of loosing money to Spike. Spike nodded absentmindedly, staring at his cards. ***************

Angel's car screeched to a stop inside a dark alley.

"St. Patriqs Bar." Buffy read the name of the bar, "Isn't it St. Patrick?"

"No, Patriqs is a demon...well...saint, I guess." Angel said as he climbed out of the car.

"Interesting....." Buffy said as she observed her surroundings.

"I think he ate kittens, or is that another Saint..." Gunn thought aloud.

"I knew a demon that ate kittens, his name was Clem." Buffy said, remembering the loose-skinned demon. She wondered where he was now but quickly lost the thought as they walked into the bar. They entered but instead of the usual silence Buffy got when she visited Willy's, the demons just looked at them and some of them even waved at Angel.

"Old friends." Angel explained quickly, "How bout you sit down, I'll show you how things are done in L.A. You can't treat these guys like Willy." Buffy sat down at an empty table. Angel and Gunn walked up to the bartender and pulled out a wad of dollar bills. The bartender eyed the money for a few seconds before pocketing it. They conversed for a few seconds before Angel returned.

"Got us enough information for tonight." Angel informed Buffy as he sat down; Gunn had continued talking to the bartender. A silence reigned over them until Buffy broke it.

"So, how have you been?" Buffy asked.

"Good...got turned into a puppet for a while but good. How bout you?" Angel said, giving her a smile.

"Great, Dawn's having a great time in Italy." Buffy informed him.

"Look, Buffy, I have a really serious question to ask you." Angel said.

"Shoot." Buffy replied. Angel took a deep breath before opening his mouth.

****************** "Bloody Hell!" Spike swore as he lost the game.

"Looks like Spikey here is gonna go up for a round of karaoke..." Yvonne announced happily.

"Aw come on now, don't want to break a promise. Or are you just to chicken?" Federovy taunted, laughing at the poor vampire.

"I'll go up, but next time you two are gonna pay" Spike growled as he got up. Yvonne chuckled a little as they walked towards the stage.

******* "Buffy, is the cookie done?"

Buffy froze when Angel asked the question. She looked down at her hands, fidgeting nervously. She traced the half moon, half sun on her arm.

"Wh-why does it matter now?" She asked, still not looking up.

"Cause I need to know Buffy." Angel said, looking at her. Buffy opened her mouth to answer...
