This story is like no other, it has a change of characters and a change of passé. You are introduced to two new characters. This is basically how I would like it to turn out, how I would like to see things happen. It's my own imagination, I am going to do several like this I am going to start off with the reunion of Buffy and Angel Willow is back form England from a couple of days with Giles getting over her little "being evil" incident Spike has a soul but won't tell right away, and no one knows he's back, and Angel. well lets just say he got rescued and Cordy came back. And we welcome an old friend back to the Scooby gang. So enjoy...........any questions PM me!

One Monday Morning of a Sunny day in Sunny dale, Buffy is asleep on her bed not wanting to wake up, Willow is cooking breakfast.

Willow calls out: "Dawnie! Do you like scrambled eggs?"

Dawn pops in form the living room: "with cheese?!"

Willow: "oh! you were up?"

Dawn: "yeah couldn't sleep"

Willow: "oh was it me.?"

Dawn interrupts: "it was Buffy; I think she's catching a cold or something"

Willow: "oh"

Dawn: "how are you feeling? You know with the whole ...well you know"

Willow: "I'm doing better actually.... but I have a lot of guilt, I guess I should have expected that though.."

Dawn looks up: "yeah."

Willow on lighter note: "could you go get Buffy, she needs to be all pretty and perky for today"

Dawn: "what's today?"

Willow: "she's trying to get her job back at the restaurant"

Dawn: "oh I wouldn't call it a restaurant...just a pit stop really"

Willow: "yeah, well she needs it"

Dawn: "fine.. I'm on my way"

Dawn runs up stairs and jumps on Buffy's bed plopping right next to her so there face to face and Dawn stairs at her

Buffy slowly and tiredly opens her eyes: ".....ah!" (she gets surprised by Dawn)

Dawn: "yes! Works every time!"

Buffy: "Dawn what do you want"

Dawn: "you need to get up for your afternoon begging"

Buffy: "what's that supposed to mean?"

Dawn: "oh Willow told me about you trying to get your job back..its funny really"

Buffy: "I wouldn't laugh too hard.pretty soon you'll be in my shoes"

Dawn: "you mean I get to kill stuff!"

Buffy: "you wish" (buffy turns around to fall back to sleep)

Dawn: "No Buffy you have to get up! Willow is making breakfast"

Buffy: "I'm not hungry..tell her thanks"

Dawn: "shes making scrambled eggs" (Dawn walks towards the door and opens it)

Buffy lifts her head up: "scrambled eggs?"

Dawn: "yup!"

Buffy gets up quickly-------------------------scene switch------------------ -------------------

We switch to Anya and Giles at the Magic box, Xander is making some finishing touches on some of the things Willow destroyed

Xander measures a few things then walks over to Giles: "I suggest you remodel this whole place"

Anya: "that's what I was thinking!"

Giles: "I think it looks fine the way it is, its nice and roomy and, comfortable"

Xander: "sure comfortable.that's why the leg on your chair is broken, the ledge up there (points) is cracked and you would be paying the same amount on repairs as you would if you were to remodel it"

Giles: "we have a lot more to worry about then remodeling"

Xander: "like what?!"

Giles: "well we live on a hellmounth.maybe I should rephrase that a little..we *will* have a lot more to worry about then remodeling"

Xander: "well nothings happening now so I sugg....I suggest I shut up now."

Giles gives Xander a funny look

Xander: "We live on a hellmounth and I just jinks us..use your imagination" (pats Giles on the back and walks away disappointed with himself)

Time has pasted and we are switched to where Buffy is sitting in a booth with her former manager sitting across form her Buffy is very uncomfortable

Manager: "So Buffy..you want your job back.."

Buffy: "yes"

Manager: "well tell me why you want to come back to the Double Meat Pelisse"

Buffy: "well.because I really love this place you know.it really brought out the best in me."

Manager: "oh! But not *you*, because you don't normally run out during your shift and skip numerous days of work with out calling ahead am I correct?"

Buffy very shameful and embarrass shies away at the answer: "...yeah..."

Manager: "yeah..Well Buffy! Heres what we are gonna do for you, you are gonna get your job back, but under strict servailence, and when I mean strict I mean watching your every move.well not every move, because that would just be..well disturbing really we don't want to stalk you doing your job (laughs) but what I am trying to say is if you don't stick up to your duty here at the DMP then you will be fired..again!,.. we really can't lose any people here at the DMP..actually because we don't have any people! So what do you say?"

Buffy soacking this all in way to fast, she is now frightened by the Manager, and confused: "...I'm..in" (smiles very fake)

Manager: "great!"

You see them shaking hands

We switch to see Cordy driving to Sunnydale with Angel in the passenger seat

Cordy: "So tell me why I have to come?"

Angel: "for support"

Cordy unbelievably: "yeah.support, and what am I supporting you with? All your doing is talking to Buffy, you've done it before with out me, I don't thin.."

Angel interrupts: "fine! Maybe not support but company, I would have asked Wesly but you know.there would be a lot of tension in the car! (says sarcastically)

Cordy rolls her eyes

Angel continues: "And Gunne is alittle busy with Fred they need to stay incase something happens"

Cordy: "there a cute couple"

Angel: "and well you know I wanted to invite Conner but, I don't think we would have much to talk about.you know how it is" (says sarcastically)

Cordy rolls her eye again: "you know..."

Angel interrupts again: "So then.."

Cordy interrupts this time: "you know if your gonna be rude about this then maybe.."

Angel interrupts: ".sorry.I guess I'm just nervous or something..I mean how is Buffy gonna react when she finds out about Conner?!"

Cordy: "why do you have to tell her?"

Angel: "because, shes important to me, and she needs to know.."

Cordy: "herd that song and dance before!"

Angel: "listen its complicated!"

Cordy: "that too!"

Angel very agitated: "Will you stop?!"

Cordy frustrated: "No! I just don't see why you *have* to tell her about Conner, I mean why does it concern her?"

Angel frustrated breacks out: "because *she* concerns me! Because everything I did..I thought of her.When I slept with Darla, I thought how she would react, I have to....she needs to know, she needs to know now! So its easier later, so when we finally get a chance to see each other, we don't have to worry about it! Because we talked about it! Ok?!"

Cordy: "surprised by Angels out break: "..ok then.."

Angel: "sorry"

Cordy: "that's fine..you know..ah it makes sense"

Angel: "does it really? (Cordy gives Angel a confused look)..because I didn't think it did.."

Cordy: "oh, I get it.you just want to see her.so you made an excuse for me to drive you! and your not gonna tell her"

Angel: "yes and no"

Cordy: "yes and no?"

Angel: "I do want to see her...but I am gonna tell her"

Cordy starts to talk but Angel cuts her off: "how is th..."

Angel: "And don't tell me not to because I already made my decision"

Cordy: "but.."

Angel cuts her off: "hey!"

Cordy: "I ju."

Angel cuts her off again: "what did I say?"

Cordy: "I know bu."

Angel cuts her off again: "shh"

Cordy: "Angel.."

Angel cuts her off yet again by turning on the radio loud and pretending to jam to a tune

Cordy gives up: "fine!"

We switch to a scene in the grave yard it is night and silence fills the air Buffy is on her patrol she walks around cautiously and slowly no vamps are showing Buffy notices Spikes crypt she wonders over there.

She reaches the door and slowly opens it, she walks in and sees that it is just as if he were there; bear bottles and an empty blood container on the counter.

Buffy looks around some more, she wonders downstairs she notices the bed. She purposely avoids looking at it, and then she hears the door upstairs shut.

She gets startled, she slowly makes her way up and she sees Spike, surprised she ducks and then comes up to take another look, the same old Spike, black leather coat, bleached hair and a cig in his mouth. He takes his jacket off and tosses it on the couch; he walks over to the fridge to grab a quick meal.

Spike is faced the opposite direction of Buffy, she slowly steps up making her way towards the door Spike doesn't notice yet, then Spike hears something he slowly turns around...
