Rating: PG, it is a little bit of angst.

What You Need To Know: Angel never lost his soul and Buffy and him are living together. Joyce never died and Spike and Dawn are dating. Xander and Anya are totally in love. Willow loves Oz, too... Jenny never died because Angel never lost his soul. Hehehe... Riley won't bother Buffy cause she's got a coolio boyfriend. That's about all.

Summary: Buffy never had to kill Angel. But now she has to kill someone that's even worse.

"Buffy, it's Joyce, come let me in!" A voice called from Angel's apartment door.

Buffy grinned and went up to open the door for her mother. "Hey Mom!" She grinned and opened the door. Joyce didn't move. Buffy frowned.

"Aren't you going to come in?" Buffy questioned.

"Now that you've finally invited me yes!" Joyce said, a void looking in her eyes.

'What's going on?' Buffy thought quietly.

"You usually don't go out at night, Mom," Buffy murmered. Her mother was convinsted that she would be eaten if she came out at night.

Joyce stopped dead in her tracks, "I was just missing you," she recovered.

"Okay," Buffy whispered. How had Joyce heard her?

"Joyce! How are you?" Angel greeted he looked at Buffy and then he stopped cold.

"What? What is it?" Buffy asked, confused and annoyed she was confused.

"GET AWAY FROM HER!" Angel yelled grabbing a stake. Joyce was faster and had Angel down and unconcious in seconds.

"Now I'll kill the Slayer!" She chanted. Buffy started crying... her mother, herself and Angel.

"No..." Buffy whispered, grabbing a stake, "I'll kill you!"

But could she?
