They sat in silence on Cordy's bed for a long while until Buffy spoke, "You seem farmiliar to me too. I get this wierd tingly feeling on the back of my neck."
Angel smiled, "I know the feling too."
Buffy smiled, "So...Did the red headed one tell you what happened?"
"Willow, her names Willow." Buffy nodded "She did."
"So what happened because no one will tell me. SPike says it's because I bang my head everytime I walk out a door and it finally caught up with me but I don't believe him."
Angel smiled, "Never listen to Spike."
"Why not?"
"Well Spike has a weary past and he likes to toy with people's minds still."
"Am I a part of his past? Because he seems to really hate me."
"That is actually why."
Buffy sighed in relief, "Wow I finally got an answer out of someone."
"No one telling you anything?"
Buffy shook her head, "No. Willow and the other man she's with are mostly quiet. The old one I haven't talked to at all along with the other two. Then there's that wierd one who's always trying to hold my hand. Spike said I was dating him but I don't even like him right now so i don't fancy on talking to him. SPike answers me but I have to beg for like hours."
Angel smiled at the mention of Riley, "He didin't like the idea of coming here did he?"
Buffy shook her head, "He asked me like three times if I was sure I wanted to come here on the way here. He doesn't like you very much."
Angel smiled, "No he wouldn't."
"Is it because we used to date?" Buffy knew it was yes but found easier to start from the beginning
It finally hit Angel that she wanted to know everything. He was going to have to go back to a time he was trying to get over. Anything for her...he thought. "Yea we did. For a long time." Then a question occured to Angel "If you didn't remember anything how did you know about me?"
Buffy picked up her bag and went threw it. She took out the drawings she had show Spike. "I went through my room and found these. I asked Spike bout them and he told me it was you."
Angel stared at each drawing for a long time. It was obvious emotion filled the room, "I haven't seen these for almost a year."
Buffy looked at him and pointed to one. "What happened here?" She was talking about the one with them leaning on a tombtone.
Angel smiled and told her everything about that night, "We had just finished a small fight about how I don't talk a lot about me and then we went for a walk. It was a midnight picnic date. We walked forever. Making up was the best part. We walked through the cemetary and decided to sit down and we sat there like that until almost sunrise. You fell asleep for a while..."
Buffy had tears in her eyes, "I want to remember so much."
Angel looked sorry, "I'm sorry buffy, I didn't mean to..."
"No I want to hear this. I want to know." She pointed to the next picture of them taking a nap at the mansion "What about this one?"
Angel smiled again, "Well after another one of our midnight walks we went back to my place and we ended up on a blanket in front of the fire. You fell asleep first. You were always so tired. I watched you for a little and then I fell asleep. When I woke up you were still sleeping and I continued to watch. You seemed so at peace. When you woke up you started talking baout cat hair and drawers. That was right before the prom."
Buffy smiled, "Oh my god my prom. Was it beautiful?"
Angel smiled. She was like a little child listening to a story or Spike watching a soap opera. "It started out a little bad because you were a little late but later on you won an award and I surprised you. You looked really happy."
"You didn't go there with me?"
Angel looked down at one of the saddest memories he had, "The day before the prom was when I decided I was moving to L.A."
Buffy looked mad for a second, "You broke up with me before my prom?"
Angel averted her gaze at all costs, "There were reasons..."
Buffy actually looked apologetic, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...I just wanted to know and I don't mean to bring things up for you."
Angel smiled, "I'll be fine." Buffy glared at him. The one that made sure he was telling the truth, "I'll be broody for a while but that's what I do."
Buffy smiled a smile that could make the world melt. Even if it wasn't his Buffy he could still bask in her sudden happiness. He didn't see it too often anymore. He was torn out of his gazing when she moved a little closer to him and spoke again, "I spend a lot of the time in the dark don't I?"
Angel looked down, "Yea you do."
Buffy moved his face to hers so their eyes were staring right into each others when she spoke again, "You spend a lot of time in the dark too. You're so pale."
Angel half smiled, "The sun burns me, I don't like it."
Buffy half smiled and then looked out the window, "Can we go for one of our midnight walks please?"
Angel looked confused and then realized she was talking about patrol. He then thought of the fact she didn't know what patrol even meant. He also knew no one had told her about being a slayer and destiny stuff so he was extremely conflicted but the moment his eyes met hers again all he could think about was how they walked hand in hand through cemetaries, how they talked and even smiled, and especially how happy he felt with her. Angel knew he wouldn't let a thing happen to her no matter what and if worst came to worst he would bring Spike.
Angel grabbed Buffy's hand and led her to the door, "Of course we can."
Buffy just smiled and followed Angel out of the bedroom. They were hoping they could just sneak by the group without even telling them where they were going but of course it was Riley who jumped in front of them. Angel automatically looked annoyed but Buffy shot him a look. Before Riley could say anything she addressed the whole group, "Angel and I are going to go for a walk."
Willow and Xander hopped to their feet off the couch and followed giles over to Angel. Willow pulled Angel a little ways from the group and waited for Riley to follow. When he got there Xander looked at Angel and started whisper yelling at him, "Are you sane in anyway right now?
Angel sighed and was about to explain when Willow started, "You're taking her out for a walk, at night, in L.A?"
Giles sighed now, "No Willow, he's taking her patrolling. I can't believe you told her she was a slayer."
Riley looked up with anger, "You're taking her out now? How could you be so stupid?"
Angel looked up at him and even though he should of stayed calm he couldn't, not with how much he showed he cared for Buffy, "She doesn't know it's patrolling! To explain a few pictures i told her that we tak...took a lot of midnight walks and then she talked about always being in the dark and then she asked me to go out for a walk."
Willow, Xander and Giles looked calmer but Riley was still angry, "Are you kidding? What if something attacks? She doesn't know how to defend herself."
Now Angel got angry at his use of helplessness for Buffy, "There is no way in the world Buffy wouldn't know how to defend herself. She was poisoned and survived. She was called once and she survived plus I'll be there."
Riley smiles sarcastically and shakes his head, "You being there is going to make it okay? You could go evil at any moment in time."
Angel was really angry right now and didn't expect Xander out of all people to defend him, "Look Riley. I don't trust Angel more then I trust Spike but I know he'll take care of her. Giles said the best cure to amnesia would be to get her going in her most farmiliar routine possible and Patrolling...with Angel was majority of her life. This is not a good idea but it is the best one we have."
Angel looked extremely surprised; It was somewhat nice to him and it shut up Riley. With the temporary silence in the room it was easy to hear Spike laughing hysterically. Angel looked around the room at his grandchildes laughter and realized why he was laughing, "DAMN!"
Spike spoke through laughs, "Did any of you actually think that maybe she still had her slayer powers and could hear you guys?"
Giles looked at Angel, "Looks like we don't have a choice."
Spike continued laughing, "This is way better then the tele."
Giles sighed and watched Angel head for the door but stopped him, "Angel, take Spike with you."
Angel stopped and looked back, "What?"
Spike repeated it with more angered enthusiasm, "WHAT?"
Angel started protesting, "He could only screw things up."
Giles took his glasses off and started to clean them, "Actually so far all his attempts to screwing things up have worked in our favor."
Spike stepped up to him, "I don't have to do what you say. I am not a prisoner."
Angel grabbed him by the collar, "Move it blondie."
Spike complained as they moved towards the door. Giles yelled one last thing, "Take care of our girl."
Angel nodded as him and a bitching Spike walked out of the door and into the night hoping to find their slayer, Spike's nemesis and Angel's soulmate.
