Chapter 4: Rain On Me
"Get the hell off of her." Trina's voice came strong behind Spike. Spike was lost in the kiss, the one he had been waiting for since the day Buffy's normal self became her own person, his moment of happiness was disrupted by a two strong hands flinging him toward the alley.
One hand belonged to Trina, the other to Royce, as Buffy stood plastered to the drink machine totally surprised the man got up and tried to say something to Buffy but Trina gave him the hardest right hook her had ever thrown. Which was pretty damn hard, so hard the vampire flew to the back of the alley and cracked some bricks when he hit the wall. "Buffy are you alright?" Chuck put his hands on her shoulders and looked into her eyes.
"Who. Who. Who was he?" Buffy stammered as she still looked to be completely in shock. She put her tiny hands on top of Chuck's. "Who was that?"
Chuck could tell she wouldn't let go until she had an answer, he couldn't give her the honest truth. She wasn't ready for that. "Some guy that has been following Trina." He replied, it wasn't a lie, but then again it wasn't the exact truth.
"Someone has been following Trina? Chuck why didn't you tell me? Or call the police?" Buffy's worry grew for her friend instead of herself.
"Buff, it's okay. She just kicked his ass, and I've got a feeling he won't be coming back. And if he does, he is as good as dust. That is a promise." Chuck gripped her shoulders a little bit more tightly.
"You promise?" A slight smile graced Buffy's lips.
"I Promise." Chuck confirmed, nodding his head.
"Lets go." Trina and Royce rejoined Buffy and Chuck. Buffy sighed and got in the backseat of Royce's Mercedes beside Trina and the four of them went home.

"Buff, I'm sorry about tonight I don't know what was with that guy he was just. I don't know but we won't let it happen again." Trina assured her friend as the two sat on Buffy's bed in their pajamas.
"Tri I told you, it's okay. He was just some creep, next time I'll just pull out the pepper spray." Buffy looked into the gray eyes of her best friend. She was putting it all on for Trina, Royce and Chuck. This whole thing with the bleach haired guy was getting to her. It was another one of those things that seemed so familiar but she couldn't put her finger on it. It's like when they kissed their souls connected and felt familiar. She couldn't hear what Trina had been saying while she was lost in her thoughts, but she was talking.
"You sure cause I really don't think that you should go running down the road naked in the middle of the day drinking a bottle of organic soda wearing one Manolo and one Air Force One." Trina's expression was still serious.
"What?" Buffy raised her right eyebrow.
"Yeah didn't think so." Trina smiled. "What were you thinking about so deeply that you couldn't decide whether or not you wanted to do that?" Trina asked, stretching across her red comforter.
"Nothing."
"Don't lie, I know when you are lying." Trina looked over at her friend who was leaning against the head of Trina's bed with her legs crossed.
"Okay fine, since I can't seem to get anything past you lately I'll either make up some wild story you will never believe or I'll have to tell you the truth." Buffy played with the stuffed pink elephant that Royce had given Trina for the past Valentine's Day.
"I'm not stoppin' ya." Trina rolled up on her side and propped her head up with her hand and prepared to listen to her friend.
"Okay you know how I said the thing about that dream, well the feeling I got when I had it I had when that weirdo guy kissed me in front of Hypnotic. It was like I knew him from somewhere but I have no idea who he was. It was just, okay so apparently there is no way to explain this."
"There is. Just probably un-explainable with words. God I'm not making any sense. Look Buff, if there is anything you need anytime come get me, wake me up. It might be hard to do but I'm sure it will be worth it." Trina smiled.
"Thanks." Buffy half-smiled and uncrossed her legs.
"I think my crazy self needs to go to bed before I start making even less sense." Trina grinned as she sat up while Buffy got off her bed and walked over to the door. "Night Buffy." She smiled, Buffy opened the door and walked out.
"Night Trina." She replied before closing the door.
After Trina was sure her friend was gone and in her room she stood off and peeled off her pajamas. She pulled on a pair of jeans and a white lacy tank top and a pair of black leather Air Force Ones. She looked out her window and started off down the fire escape.
~~~~
"What took you so long?" Chuck asked. He was standing at the bottom of the fire escape waiting. He had a black and white Von Dutch hat and a white wifebeater and baggy black jeans.
"I think we've got problems." Trina told him.
"Tri, I knew that. But what the hell are you talking about?" Chuck asked as the two started walking to the closest graveyard.
"You know how I said that Buffy had been acting a bit off about the acting weird? Well yeah, she said some off stuff about her remembering Spike from somewhere. Like she didn't know him, but she remembered him." Trina tried to explain.
"That's, um, different. What the hell?" He looked at his friend with confusion.
"Damn I just got the cold chill from hell." Trina crossed her arms as she walked. "I don't know Charles I think we should take this up with Angel." Trina suggested.
"I'm not walking all the way over there." Chuck stated. Trina agreed so the pair walked back to their apartment and got in Trina's Lamborghini and she drove to Wolfram & Hart.
When they arrived the two caught Angel as he was about to leave. "Trina, Chuck." He looked at them suspiciously. "What went wrong?" The vampire with a soul raised an eyebrow.
"Why is it that every time we come to see you, you think something is wrong?" Chuck asked.
"Because it usually is." Angel smirked.
"Gee thanks Angelcakes. Good Lord I am hyper." Trina smiled as she bounced once on her toes. "We have a problem with one of our friends and we think it's mystical." Trina told him.
"Lets go back to my office." Angel sighed. The trio walked back in the building and up to Angel's office. Trina and Chuck sat down in two chairs in front of Angel's desk.
"Very upper class, go Angel." Trina glanced around the office.
"Thanks, so Trina, what's the problem?" Angel sat down behind the desk and folded his hands in the middle.
"Our friend Buffy has been, um, remembering things that she can't remember. Okay! That didn't make sense. What I'm trying to say is she's having a feeling of remembrance from sometime but it never happened." Trina tried to explain.
"Buffy?" Angel lowered his eyebrows. "Summers?"
"Yeah you know her?" Chuck looked up at Angel from under his hat.
"You think I don't?" Angel gave them a confused look.
"No why would I?" Trina raised her neatly waxed eyebrows.
"Have I got a story to tell you." Angel leaned back in his leather chair and told Trina and Chuck Buffy's story. All about her moving to Sunnydale and defeating the Master and everything he knew from graduation to UC Sunnydale, all up until the demon the geeks sent after her got her.
"Excuse me but huh? I've seen weird stuff for being the Slayer since '98 but my best friend has been in the nut house since then and she only got out two years ago. Angel I think you are confused." Trina crossed her arms.
"Look I know this must be hard but didn't she ever tell you **why** she went in to the mental institute? Her parents thought she was crazy because she was talking about Vampires and so they took her in. I guess part of her never left." Angel trailed off and his mind began to wander.
After moment of silence Trina looked back up at her vampire friend, "What do we tell her?" She asked.
"She'll want to know the truth, but don't dump it on her. Not like I just did to you, I don't think she could handle that. Tri, I'm going to call one of her friends from Sunnydale and see what she thinks." Angel told the two. He picked up his office phone and dialed the number.
"Hello?" A cheerful voice answered.
"Is this Dawn?" Angel ask.
"Who wants to know?" The voice lost it's cheeriness and became suspicious.
"It's Angel."
"Oh! Hey Angel it's me. Do you want to talk to Willow?" The teen ask happily.
"Yeah."
"Just a sec." Dawn took the phone to Willow and the redhead left the living room and went to the only quiet place, Buffy's room.
"Hey." Willow said as she sat down in a chair.
"Hey Willow, it's Angel I need to talk to you about Buffy."
"Yeah I know Spike found her isn't it great!" Willow said excitedly.
"I have her two best friends sitting here and I think I'm starting to get everything. Here in L.A. Buffy has been in the mental hospital since '97 and she got out two years ago. She's going to UCLA and I think you know that she encountered Spike tonight. It's like she remembers his spirit just not him, like I'm sure she'd remember you if she saw you, just not in reality." Angel explained to the witch.
"How do we make her back into one person?" Willow asked the vampire.
"I don't know." He replied simply, really not knowing.
