Chapter 2: Buffy and Angel
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"You know who I am?" asked Angel surprised at the princess simple, yet calm statement. "and yet you are not yelling for your guards?"
"I have no need, do I?" questioned Buffy standing up from her bench. She walked over to a wall covered in white and red roses and smiled. "You know flowers are a beautiful peaceful plant. They don't bother others over something so trifle, there are no wars to gain access to anything. They are peaceful and happy," she said with a lace of sadness in her voice.
In that moment, Angel knew that she too shared his ideas on this whole war. "Princess Buffy, I get the feeling we share the same feelings towards what our kingdoms face," jumped Angel hoping he wasn't to forward.
"Please, you may call me Buffy. Princess seems so official, like I am better then everyone else. Truth be told I am not," she replied turning to face the young Prince. "What is it that you hope to accomplish by
coming here?" she wondered. The Prince before her seemed like the man who had been appearing in her
dreams lately holding out his hand to her. Yet, no matter how she tried she could not touch him.
"You are a very kind hearted Princess...I mean Buffy to say such a thing," commented Angel giving her a
half smile. "Most would be grateful to be a Princess."
"And most would not care what happen to their kingdom," countered Buffy sitting back down on her bench motioning for Angel to sit down next to her. "I, however, have always been the odd one out."
"I do not believe that at all," defended Angel with a passion the surprised both Buffy and himself. "Caring about your people is the right thing to do. The ones who do not lose more then they realize."
Buffy felt her heart beat at Angels' words. Never before had she met anyone who was so passionate about their peoples safely as herself. Usually when she talked about protecting the people of Sunnydale or helping them, she would get laughed at. Her father and mother both told her to worry more about choosing a
husband rather, than worry about those who may die because of the war. What they didn't get, didn't
understand, those men fighting for the kingdom had families. They too were someone's father, brother, and son.
"Thank you," responded Buffy when Angel took a seat by her. "You have still not answered my question
though?" she pointed out opening the bird cage that laid next to her.
"I came here hoping to find someway to end this war. Therefore, end this line of meaningless death,"
answered Angel watching in enchantment as Buffy took a white dove from it's cage. "The animal seems to
like you," he complimented when the bird did not try to fly away.
"This is Freedom," introduced Buffy holding up the bird. "She is my favorite, and my most trusted companion.
"Grr," snapped up Leora.
"Next to Leora that is," giggled Buffy using her other hand to rub the back of Leora's ear. "She is my most important friend.
"Do you not get out of the palace much?" wondered Angel making note that she talked about her pets as if they were the only friends she had in the world.
"No," relieved Buffy sadness crossing her face. "I am trapped behind these walls until the war is over.
Yet, even if the war does end my mother and father have plans to marry me off, and I am sure that whoever they pick will want me behind these walls once more."
"That's...that's not right," stated Angel. How could parents keep such a treasure locked up, when clearly she longed for freedom.
"Do your parents let you leave your palace?" she asked him.
Angel was a taken back by this question for a moment before responding," I am my father's head
general. I am allowed out, but only to fight. Tonight I had to sneak out with two of my friends."
"Oh," replied Buffy putting Freedom back in her cage. "Are they hiding among the purple roses?" she asked of Spike and Xander.
"Yes, how did...?" he began.
"When you came over here, I heard a lot of Prince get back here coming from that direction. Do not
worry though. I will not give them away."
"You are too kind," Angel said gratefully taking Buffy's hand into his and gave it a gentlemen's kiss.
Buffy felt like she had struck gold the minute Angel kissed her hand. She had had people kiss her hand before, but never did such an act affect her like Angel's kiss. The last twenty minutes the two young people sat there Buffy discovered that she already fallen for the sweet Prince of Galway. Whether or not that was a good
thing was yet to be determine.
"Princess, time to come in," yelled Cordelia from the doorway. She could not see who the Princess was talking too, but she assumed it was Leora. Sometimes her charge surprised her.
"I must go," Buffy explained regretfully.
"When can I see you again?" asked Angel before the words even registered in his head, they came out.
Buffy looked back at the Prince that had is such a short time stolen her heart. That much she knew.
"Tomorrow meet me here once more when the sun is at it's highest," she instructed, and then to her shocked as well as Angel's, she leaned over and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Till tomorrow, My Love," she
whispered so only Angel could hear.
"Tomorrow," agreed Angel," My Treasure," he returned leaning forward to brush a light kiss against Buffy's lips.
Buffy wanted this kiss to last forever. The feelings it created in her, she had never felt. The feelings overtook her. In such a short amount of time she knew she had fallen in love, and it was the most glorious feeling ever. If only....
"Princess," demanded Cordelia causing the two young loves to pull apart.
"Good-bye for now, My handsome Prince," said Buffy turning away slowly.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Princess, where have you been?" inquired Cordelia the minute Buffy reached her maid.
"I've been falling in love," replied Buffy softly so Cordelia could not understand her.
"Your sister wishes you to do her hair," informed Cordelia about Dawn. "Poor Harmony has been going crazy trying to find you. She went to do Princess Dawn's hair for the bed, and the young Princess just insisted
that she didn't want her nanny doing her hair, but her sister."
"I shall go to my little sister then," relented Buffy ready to get away from Cordelia. Sure her maid seemed nice most of the time, but to Buffy she just seemed annoying.
"Remember that you are schedule for riding with Prince Riley tomorrow," reminded Cordelia following the nineteen year old.
"I never agreed to such a thing," Buffy pointed out turning around to face her maid. "Nor will I be set up to do so," she went on. How could her parents do this to her. "Inform Prince Riley, that I will be taking my little sister out tomorrow as I have promised her for the past week I would. He will have to ask me himself if he wishes to spend time with me."
"Would you give him a chance," complied Cordelia. She honestly did not understand why the Princess refused very handsome and wealthy suitors.
"Prince Riley has shown me he is not the kind of man I would enjoy being around. Just the act that he obviously asked my parents rather them me says that he is more concern with them then
myself," concluded Buffy walking off towards her sister's room leaving no room for discussion.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Are you mad?" demanded Spike when Angel had gotten done explaining to Xander and Spike about his meeting with Buffy tomorrow. "What is to say that she will not have set a trap by then?"
"If she had wanted to, she could have exposed all three of us today," spoke up Angel as the three young man sat in his room. "She is magnificent," he added as an after thought," is she not?"
"Oh no," groaned Xander seeing where this was heading. "You have fallen in love with her, have you not, Prince?" he asked sitting back in the stain wooden chair he sat in. "Do you have any idea how this complicates things?"
"I know I should not have these feeling for an enemy Princess. Xander, Spike if you two came out when she exposed you, you would of seen what a kind hearted person she really happens to be," said Angel not letting his friends talk him out of seeing Buffy again. "I am seeing her once more tomorrow, you two can either help me or not, I care not. But I am going, and I will hear no more
about the subject," dismissed Angel, standing up from where he sat on his bed.
"Angel, you could get killed or endanger the lives of all you hold dear," reasoned Spike leaning back against the wall. He understood his best friend falling in love, it was good news, but did it have to be with the neighboring Princess, who's father fought with Angel's. "
"She's worth it," claimed Angel. "I know she is."
"Then you have my support," relented Spike. "It's against my better judgment, but I will back you up."
"As will I," Xander seconded giving in. When Prince Angel made up his mind it couldn't be changed.
"Good, I promised to meet her when the sun is at it's highest tomorrow."
"Then tomorrow it is," agreed his two friends.
