Months had passed since the night in the alley, after they had scattered Wesleys' ashes, Willow and Kendall had returned to Central America, Andrew, Xander, Giles and Buffy had gone back to Europe.
There had been quite a fight when Dawn had had announced her decision to stay in LA and join Angel Investigations, there had been accusations from both of the Summers sisters, it was Faith's decision to stay as well that had tipped the balance. Faith promised Buffy that she would watch over Dawn, Angel and Gunn also made it very clear that the only exciting thing Dawn would be doing was going to the library for more research information.
Life as the Fang Gang knew it was pretty much back to normal, they had gone through hell and came out the other side, battered, bruised and grieving but they were back.
One day in late summer Harmony showed up, "Hello all, you could have at least let me know that you were alive"
Angel looked up from the notes he was making on the latest infestation of demon mites, "Harmony what are you doing here?"
"Angel investigations requires my services," she declared proudly.
"Huh" was the only response that Angel could think of, he so hoped Harmony wasn't offering to be his secretary again, "Are you offering to be my secretary, cause you know I really don't need one."
"Don't be silly, I am not going to be your secretary," Angels relief at Harmony's response was short lived as she continued with, "I am going to be the Administrative Assistant to Angel Investigations." Harmony promptly emptied her bag out onto the reception desk, Angel shuddered as he saw the scented pink note pads along with the pink sparkly feathered pens appear, her hand disappeared into her bag, 'Please don't let it be the trolls' Angel prayed.
He groaned as Harmony proudly set up the trolls on the desk, "There I'm all set, ohh the phone," Harmony squealed, "Hello Angel Investigations, nothing to weird or goopy for us to look after," covering the phone with one hand, she whispered, "I thought of that one all by myself." Uncovering the phone she continued ignoring Angels grimace of pain, "How may I direct your call?"
Angel left Harmony fielding phone calls and wondered how he was going to break the news of their new administrative assistant to the rest of the team. Everyone took the announcement in stride, though the team wasn't really sure what Harmony was assisting them with.
