A/N Um... hullo, this is me, typing about stuff, and just so you know, the
updates might be a little slow, seeing as I'm currently failing math class...
Thank you to Sky-lark13, and meg for reviewing, I would put little note to each of you, but I've got limited time to be doing this. And again my threats have worked, 'cause some people reviewed!

Summary: Buffy's just a normal girl who's lost her way in the world, but what happens when another lost soul captures her heart, and refuses to give it back?
Last Chapter Summary: New project idea, Buffy acted smart, Angel and Xander had a familiar conversation, and Buffy is trying to find the courage to ask Angel out. What will happen next? What will Buffy do? Why am I still asking questions?
But It Feels So Right
Buffy sat in the back of an auditorium, looking up at the rather large stage. Willow had dragged her here to give her support while she auditioned for some play. Buffy was pretty sure it was Shakespeare who wrote it, but she would have to confirm that with Willow later.
Willow was up on stage now, reading though her would be lines, if she got the part, with some guy Buffy had seen in the hallway the other day. When the scene finished Willow was asked to stay up there, and run lines with another guy.
This other guy, not to back looking, a little short, and very strange taste in clothes, stood opposite her. Neither of them sounded like they were reading, it felt as though they were having an actual conversation. Personally Buffy thought she could see some sparkage between Willow and the other teen, and she knew she would have to bug Will about that later.
The red head left the stage with a smile on her face. She looked really pleased with herself.
"I think I did it Buffy! I think I might have gotten the part!" She exclaimed, excitedly.
"Yeah me, so who was the last guy you were auditioning there with Will?" Buffy asked, and smirked as Willow blushed.
"That was Oz, he's really good at acting, he was in the play last year, it was kind of cool to run lines with him."
"Hm... so do you like him?"
"What?" "Do you like him?" Buffy repeated, just a little bit slower.
"Well, I kind of have to like him, if I get the part, he's going to be opposite me."
"You know what I meant!"
"I think I do," Willow said, then turned her head, looking back at Oz, she turned back to Buffy, "I think he smiled at me."
Buffy smiled, "see, you do like him, I knew it!"
"Yeah well at least I'm not denying it like some people I know." Willow said, referring to Buffy and her current situation with Angel.
"I don't deny anything, I just doubt it's more than a crush or something like that, I mean, we didn't exactly click."
"Yeah, but sometimes things like that just don't click, Buffy, you have to work at them, and keep them strong."
"But we haven't even started, how can I keep something that doesn't exist strong?" Buffy asked, picking up her stuff, and walking out of the auditorium, Willow at her side.
"I don't know, but you defiantly have something going on there, just trust me on that one."
"Ok, I trust you, now can we change the subject?"
"Sure, what do you want to talk about?" Willow asked.
"Anything but boys...." Buffy said as the two of them walked down the street headed for Buffy's house, neither one of them talking because they couldn't think of another topic to discuss.
(::::::::::)
"C'mon please?"
"No."
"Please?"
"NO."
"Aw, c'mon Angel, you got to let me borrow your car!"
"I said no Xander, when ever you touch my stuff, you break it, ask your uncle." Angel said, as he scrubbed the hubcaps of his car.
"But my uncle's car is old, and not as nice as yours!"
"My point exactly."
"But you're my best friend!" Xander said, trying to use this to his advantage, but he really didn't think Angel would buy into it.
"What part of 'no' don't you understand?" Angel asked, looking up at Xander from his work on the front tire.
"The part where you're supposed to say 'yes'" Xander said, looking at Angel, pleading with him now.
Angel sighed, "Fine Xander, you can use it, if you tell me why you need it."
"I need to take it to the Bronze." Xander said as a short explanation.
"Walk." Angel told him, going back to him work.
Xander looked at him in disbelief, "Please Angel, just for one night."
"If you tell me why."
"Ok, I need it to impress some one."
"And that some one would be whom exactly?"
"Cordelia..." Xander said, sheepishly.
"You, are trying to impress Cordelia with my car? Why would she be impressed about that? Can't you just ask her to dance or something?" Angel asked, looking up at Xander like he was a complete moron.
This was Xander, the vice president of the "I hate Cordelia club" That he and willow had formed before high school. Angel could believe that Xander had a crush on Cordy, after all that time she had spent humiliating him freshman year. And the fact that Willow would probably never talk to him again if she found out.
"No, I was listening to the girls talking in math class today, and they all were talking about how all the jocks have the coolest cars, and about how it was so cool to have a car. So I figure, I get a car, I get cool, and Cordy likes me, pretty simple, eh?"
"Well, what are you going to do when she finds out that the car is mine, and that, if she ever agrees to it, she wont ever get to ride in it again?"
"Um.... I could tell her I was getting it detailed, or that you were borrowing it."
Angel glared at him, "No, you can not borrow my car Xander Harris, because the whole situation is going to get too confusing, and too annoying to deal with."
Xander sighed, "C'mon Angel, don't you owe me a favor, or something."
"Actually, I think it's the other way around. I know you owe me for letting you borrow something you never returned, because you broke it." Angel said, getting a little annoyed by Xander's pestering. Why couldn't he just go out and buy his own car? Then they wouldn't have these problems.
"Hey Peaches, your mom says to get in here for dinner." Came a voice from the front door. Angel and Xander look over as Angel's cousin pokes his head outside.
"Right be there in a minute William." Angel called back, standing up.
"It's SPIKE!" he heard his cousin yell, and he rolled his eyes.
"Sorry Xand," Angel said, grabbing the keys from the ignition, "Guess you'll have to find another way to impress Cordy."
Xander glared at him then sighed, "See you later then." He called to Angel as he began to walk home.
(::::::::::)
"So, you going to call him now?" Willow asked Buffy, who was looking through her history book, trying to make sense of the Vietnam War.
"Not yet Willow, he's probably eating dinner, or something, just hold on!" She replied, writing down something on a note card.
"Buffy, it's seven o'clock, he's probably done with dinner, just call him, or I'll do it for you!" Willow said, picking up the phone.
Buffy grabbed it out of her hands, "Fine, I'll call him, happy?"
"Well, it's a start...."
Buffy rolled her eyes, and dialed Angel's number. For some odd reason, she had it memorized now, and only a day before this, she wouldn't have known the first number.
The phone rang five times, and Buffy was about to hang up, when a handsome voice picked up on the other end.
"'Ello, O'Connor residence, William speaking."
"Um... hi, is Angel there by any chance?" She asked, wondering who William was, and why she didn't know if Angel had any siblings.
"Peaches? Yeah, he's right here, what's it to you?" William asked, receiving him an angry look from Angel, who was wondering who was on the phone.
"I was wondering if I could talk to him."
"You can, but I don't see why you would want to, he's really boring." Angel raised his eyes brows at his cousin's statement, who was he talking to?
"Does it matter why I want to talk to him? Can't you just put him on the phone?" Buffy asked, getting a little bit frustrated with the man on the other end of the phone.
"I could, or you could just talk to me, Peaches isn't really in the talking mood, he's kind of moppy because some girl doesn't like him or something.... Wait, are you that girl Angel's been yapping about-" Spike was cut off by Angel ripping the phone out of his hand and whacking him over the head.
"Hello?" He asked, hoping the person on the other end hadn't hung up all ready.
"Angel?"
"Yeah, it's me, sorry about that, William tends to be kind of annoying." He told her, realizing whom it was after he had heard her voice.
"It's SPIKE"
Buffy heard the yell, and raised an eyebrow. "I didn't know you had a brother."
"I don't he's my cousin, so anyway, why'd you call?" Angel asked, wishing his cousin would go away. Spike was standing right next to him, trying to hear what Buffy was saying. Angel ending up whacking him over the head again, and that was when Spike decided to leave the room.
"Oh, I was just wondering, that if you wanted to we could maybe go to the Bronze together on Friday?" Buffy said, trying hard to keep any babble talk that may surface kept down so she didn't sound nervous or anything.
"Sure, I guess we could go." Had she just asked him on a date? Did girls do that? He shook his head, well, that made it a little easier than asking her himself, she had done all the work for him.
On the other end, Buffy smiled, and gave Willow a thumbs up, causing the red head to smile widely. Finally Buffy and Angel were going to do something.
"Ok, so you want to meet me there around seven or so?" She asked.
"Or I could pick you up, save you a walk." He offered not really sure why he had.
"Ok, sounds good, so around seven then."
"Yeah."
"Ok, see you then." Buffy said, and hung up the phone. She looked over at Willow, "He's going to pick me up at seven on Friday."
Willow looked at her, "See, I told you it would go good, well, actually I didn't, but I did get you to call him."
"Yes, you must remind me to repay you with some kind of ice cream treat for that." Buffy said, sighing. "I just can't believe he said yes, and it was just like that too. He didn't even hesitate first."
"I told you he likes you," Willow said, picking up her note card and looking at it. She raised an eyebrow. "These are your notes on the Vietnam War?" She asked, and Buffy grabbed the note card out of her hand.
"No, that was what I was writing because I was distracted from my notes which are on that other note card down there." She said pointing down at the other note card on the floor that was covered in really small words and sentences.
"And you were scribbling Angel's name on that one for what reason?"
Buffy looked down at the card, regarding the many different ways she had written Angel's name. Cursive, normal, bold, capitals, every which way.
"What, I needed something to do." She said, and Willow laughed at her.
"Well, obviously you found that something...."
(::::::::::)
"So, who was that Peaches?" Spike asked Angel as he hung up the phone.
"A friend, why do you care?" Angel asked, still a little mad at him for being so annoying and for not minding his own business.
"Well, it must have been important if it's gotten you all huffy."
Angel sighed, frustrated, "It was Buffy."
"Buffy? What kind of name is that?"
"Well, what kind of a name is Spike?" Angel retorted, walking out of the room, Spike close at his heels.
"A cool one, but Buffy, is it short for something?"
"No."
"Who would name their kid Buffy? I mean that's just crazy."
Angel turned around, and Spike bumped into him, not reacting in time to his sudden change in direction.
"Shut up Spike, and leave me alone." He said, walking into his room. The door slammed, and Spike just looked at it.
"Aw.... I get it, little Angel here's got a crush on a girl, is it now? Is she your girl friend?" He asked through the door.
"No."
"Then can I hook up with her? Bird's got a nice voice."
"NO."
"Alright peaches, what ever you say."
"Yeah what ever I say, now do what I say, and go away."
Spike sighed, and walked down the hall into his own room. There must have been something special about this girl if Angel liked her. And Spike wanted to know exactly what mad his cousin like this girl so much.
A/N Yay, I finished, and look, Spike's going to be all mischievous and stuff, jut cause it's funny when he is. Will this cause some trouble for Buffy and Angel, I don't know, I've only just started chapter 8. So I'll just go work on that. But it wont be up unless I get at least two review for this chapter, just because I'm so good a t updating.
