Chapter 2

Willow was still half asleep when she got up in the morning, and forgot that Angel was a frog and that he was sleeping on the floor. She swallowed a scream and then went to find something to eat. She opened the door so that Angel could catch some flies for his breakfast.

After breakfast, Willow started studying her spell books, looking for a spell to help Angel. By the time evening arrived, she had found a verse in a very old book. She read it to Angel:

That, which Anger doth bring forth,

The Red Witch's Kiss shall mend.

"This fits your situation. I think we need to do this."

"You don't need to kiss me, Willow. It's too much to ask of you." But Angel thought longingly, 'I'd love for her to kiss me if I was myself again, but she wouldn't want to kiss a vampire.'

"No, Angel... you're my friend. I would do anything to help you. Even this..." She knelt down, closed her eyes, and quickly kissed Angel on the side of his frog face. In the next instant, Willow found herself kissing Angel the vampire. "Oh," she said, blushing. "How do you feel?"

Angel looked down and grabbed a blanket to cover his nakedness. "Oops!" he said. "I forgot that I wouldn't have any clothes."

Willow giggled. "I'll give you some of my dad's clothes. I'm glad you're okay again."

Angel went to the bathroom and got dressed. Then he came back to Willow's room. "Thank you for your help Willow, and for the clothes. Would you come to dinner with me?" he asked hopefully. "I don't eat but you could, and I could thank you for your help in a better way."

"You don't have to thank me with dinner, Angel."

"I want to do this," insisted Angel.

"Okay, but why don't we go to your house. Then you can have your blood while I eat."

"Are you sure?" Angel said doubtfully. "Buffy didn't like to see me... feed."

"I'm not Buffy. I accept you just the way you are. Demon and man... you're my friend."

"Thank you, little one," said Angel quietly. "I'll go home now and order some food for you. Come over in about an hour."

"Okay," said Willow, and went to change her clothes while Angel hurried home to prepare for his guest.
