Lilah caught the attention of everyone
"Doesn't she ever stay dead?" Lorne asked
"Look whose talking" Lilah said with a smirk "Welcome back, you all are very lucky"
"Lucky wasn't the word I was looking for" Spike said
"Please you come abck to life and see the love of your life again" Lilah said refering to Buffy "Your welcome. So down to business, you all know your jobs"
"That's it?" Wesley asked
"For now" Lilah said "You are expected to continue your jobs as if nothing happened. You have an obligation to fufill and you are expected to do that exactly"
"What about when our contracts run up?" Fred asked
"Well then you would be done and will die" Lilah said "With that said, I'll see you all later" Lilah siad then walked up the stairs
"Angel" Buffy said "What do you want me to do? Get Willow to try to fix this-"
"Nothing" Angel said "Were all alive thats all that matters"
"I'd really rather not be here forever- and if my contract doesn't run up I'm stuck 'ere forever" Spike said annoyed "And I still dont know what bleeding contract 'ere talkin 'bout!"
"Verbal Spike!" Angel yelled
"I'm so confused and happy" Fred said smiling
"You should sit down" Wesley said taking Fred over to a chair as Angel and Gunn walked over to them
"What do you remeber?" Angel asked
"I was in my room, and I was with Wesley then-" Fred started then tears starting to fall "I cant-"
"It's okay" Wesley said
"What happened?" Fred asked
"Well it's a long story" Lorne said "Doesn't matter though because you're back"
"Yea" Fred said getting up "I need to go get some air"
"Fred" Wesley said as she walked past Buffy and she followed
::Outside::
"Fred, right?" Buffy asked walking over to her
"Yea, I know you?" Fred asked turning to her
"No, we haven't met, I'm Buffy" Buffy said with a smile
"Oh, we hear so much about you" Fred said putting on a smile shaking her hand "Your a legend around here"
"Thank you" Buffy said with a smile "Willow has told me alot about you"
"How is Willow?" Fred asked
"Good" Buffy said "I know how you feel"
"About what?" Fred asked
"Dying- coming back" Buffy said as she and Fred took a seat "It's hard"
"How long where you gone?" Fred asked
"A few months, like you" Buffy said "I was in heaven"
"I think I was too" Fred said "It's so weird to be here"
"I know how you feel, I had to dig out of myown grave" Buffy said
"That's horrible" Fred said "But this world- it's"
"-cold" Buffy finished for her
"Exactly" Fred said
"It's going to take alot of getting used to- and your going to want to leave and go back to where you were, but staying strong is all that's going to work" Buffy said
"What did you do when you came back?" Fred asked
"I um-" Buffy thinking back to her time with Spike "Had some emotional issues- but you have Wesley who seems to really care about you"
"He does" Fred said with a smile "I think we should go back inside, they might all kill eachother"
"And the bad in that would be?" Buffy said as they both walked back into the law firm
"Are you okay?" Wesley asked Fred who just smiled
"Yea I am" Fred said giving him a hug
"I missed you so much" Wesley said not letting go of her
"Thanks for talking to her" Angel said to Buffy
"Yea well, we have a few things in common" Buffy said with a smile "I should really go home, I cant leave Dawn much longer"
"And the immortal" Angel said as Buffy laughed
"What about him?" She asked
"How are you two?" Angel asked
"It was a rebound Angel" Buffy said with a smile "Nothing more" as she said that he smiled
"You leavin' soo soon?" Spike asked
"Yea, I have to go home" Buffy said then gave him a hug "I'm glade you're back- both times" she said then kissed his cheek "And Angel" Buffy said "I'll be talking to you"
Buffy walked out of the building and it was still dark out when she heard a voice
"Where are you going?" the voice asked as Buffy turned around
"Cant be" Buffy said turning around
"Sure it can" the voice said "Stranger things have happened"
"Cordy?" Buffy asked
"The one and only" Cordy said with a smile "And again I ask- where do you think your going?"
