Same Slayer, Different Start pt. 3
Once the parents were gone, Angel joined Buffy in the kitchen. "Hello, Buffy, what are you up to?" "I'm gonna have some ice cream You want some too?" "No thank you, Buffy. You enjoy it." Scooping some for herself, she sat at the kitchen counter. Sitting beside her, he decided to start a conversation.
"So, Buffy, what do you like to do for fun?" "Swim, karate, arts and crafts, go on the swings..." "Really. Would you like to show me what you've learned so far?" "Huh?" "Karate." "Ok. But we have to go in the basement. We don't want to wake up Dawnie." "No problem. After you, milady."
As soon as they were in the basement, Buffy showed him the various manoeuvres she had learned. While he was definitely impressed, he decided that he would teach her some tai chi. Getting comfortable, she put on some soothing music, then they started their work out.
Eventually, though, Buffy collapsed onto the couch. "Are you alright, Buffy?" "Uh huh. That was fun." "I'm glad you think so. But that's for self defence only." "Ok, Angel, whatever you say." Yawning, Buffy said, 'Well, I'm gonna go to bed now, Angel. Thank you." Giving him a hug, she went upstairs.
By the time Angel was able to leave, it was 1:00 am. After insisting that he didn't need any pay for taking care of Buffy and Dawn, he headed back to his apartment, finding Whistler there. "So, how did it go?" "She has real potential. I taught her some tai chi before she went to bed." "Good. So you don't mind protecting a future slayer?" "Not at all."
