"Hey Xand wait up!" Xander Harriss turned as he saw Buffy sprint up to his side. She was barely out of breath and her smile was just a litle too chirpy. "Hey Buff" he said warily. He knew she was about to try to fix him up with someone. Buffy tucked her arm in Xanders as she started to lead him into the cemetry. "I think we need to talk" she began and Xander had the urge to close his eyes. He wished Buffy would quit on her campaign to get Xander and Angel together. The blond was sure they 'belonged together'

Xander thought maybe she had hit her head too hard when she was attacked by a vampire. "What do you want to talk about Buff?" Buffy sighed, looking anywhere but at her best friend. She knew what she was about to say wouldn't be warmly greated but she just knew her friends belonged together.

"We need to talk about the kiss" when Xander refused to comment Buffy pressed "The kiss you and Angel had"

"It was nothing" Xander lied

Buffy's smile was sweet, almost dreamy. "Xand I have watched every chick flick ever and that kiss was not nothing. That was defiently something" She knew she had him but he still wouldn't admit it. Buffy suddenly detached from Xander and walked in front of him, walking backwards, expertly manouvering through the headstones. Her tone was almoat sing song.

"Tell me when you were with Angel you weren't happy." She demanded, knowing she was rigtht.

Xander just shook his head mutely.

Nada.

"Xand I'm not asking you to take out a joint checking account but it's important that you admit how you are feeling. It says so in Cosmos" she said importantly.

Xander arched an eyebrow "Well now I'm convinced"

Buffy scowled "Hey I;m trying to help here"

"Help or interfere?"

Bufyf shrugged holding both hands up and juggling them

"Help, intervere. Not much difference"

Xander couldn't help smiling, Buffy's perkiness was infectious

"I hate you" he said perfectly nicely.

"Focused anger means I'm onto something" Buffy crowed.

"Does Cosmos say that?" Xander wanted to know. Buffy shook her head. She wanted to make fun of the relationship but this was the serious deal. Buffy was glad that Xander would finally be in a relationship where it was equal where both parties were happy. Of course she had to get them together first.

Xander sighed wraping his arm around Buffy.

"How about we focus this anger on some vamps. Kay?"

Buffy nodded silently.
