disclaimer: don't own buffy or angel

a/n: sorry it took so long to put the chapter up. yet again there's kennedy bashing(does anybody really like her?) any way on with the story..................

"So how are things going with you and Kennedy?" Buffy asked. She and willow were sitting on willow's bed having a girly night in. Kennedy was out slaying with the help of spike.

"It's ok, I'm sorry about what she said to you" Buffy smiled and hugged her friend.

"Don't apologize, it's not your fault" willow smiled and took a handful of crisps.

"So angel's here" willow said with a grin.

"I know! It's great, do you realise what this means? I haven't lost him will, I have another chance" Buffy replied with a dreamy look.

"Buffy, you do realise he could be listening"

"He isn't, this is angel we're talking about" willow smiled.

"Buffy, you know when you was with riley did you always think of angel?" Willow asked as Buffy got up to leave the room. Buffy looked at her.

"All the time, why?"

"Oh, I was just wondering" Buffy knew there was more to it but she didn't push the subject anything further.

Buffy went to her room and before she entered her room she could hear dawn and Andrew fighting over the Xbox that Giles had bought to keep them occupied. "Guys! Why don't you just play a two player game?" She shouted. She heard them go quiet and she smiled to herself. She entered the room and saw the covers pulled back on the bed and her pyjamas were laid out. She smiled and knew angel was in the room. "Thank you" she said quietly. She smiled and got changed and got into bed and the covers were pulled over and angel tucked her in. She closed her eyes and let out a sigh.

"I love you" it was angel's voice but she thought it was her imagination so she just drifted into a peaceful sleep.

Buffy woke up and skipped downstairs and was welcomed by an old friend. "Oz!" She hugged him. He gave a small nod.

"Well I wasn't expecting that reaction" his said in his usual tone. Xander then walked in with a box full of donuts. He got a donut for himself and then looked up.

"Hey oz, how you been doing?"

"I'm good, what about you and what's with the eye thing?" Xander looked down.

"The fight with the first" he simply answered.

"Yer I heard about that and I saw the remains of sunnydale, good job".

"Smurfs are cartoon characters their not real!" They heard spike shouting. They turned round and saw spike being followed by Illyria.

"Cartoon?" She asked. Spike turned and saw oz.

"Oz, right?" Oz nodded. "Well nice to see you but I have to explain the subject of cartoons to Illyria here" spike motioning to Illyria. With that they went.

"I thought he was evil?" Oz questioned.

"He's got a soul" Buffy said.

"But I thought angel had the soul"

"I'll explain later" xander said. At that moment willow walked downstairs. She saw oz and couldn't believe her eyes.

"Hey" she said with a smile.

"Hey" they stood there awkwardly. Kennedy then came down and was introduced to oz. She then decided to go and train.

"I think im going to use a weapon to train with to day. She opened the cabinet and saw a sword. She tried to take it but it wouldn't budge. "Is it glued to the cabinet?" She shouted. Buffy nearly burst out laughing.

"Angel stop it" Buffy shouted. With that Kennedy fell to the floor with the sword in her hand.

"Thank you" she said sarcastically. She was on her way to the training room when Buffy stopped her.

"Give me the sword" she said calmly.

"Why?"

"Because it's not yours"

"Then who's is it?"

"Angel's and if you don't give it to me, I will give spike the pleasure of having you for dinner" Kennedy shoved the sword into Buffy's hands and stormed out of the building. Buffy turned and looked at willow. "I'm sorry will, it's just..."

"It's ok, she's been stubborn recently" the sword then was taken out of Buffy's hands and put back in the cabinet. Oz looked at xander as if to ask 'what was that?'

"That's angel, like I said I'll explain later"
