Everyone was celebrating in their own way with the destruction of Sunnydale. Faith was busy teaching Andrew some dance moves by Chris Tucker from the movie Rush Hour (though all he was doing was making a complete fool of himself), Buffy and Riley were holding each other (happy that they made it through), Willow and Oz were making with the kissing in the back of the bus, Xander and Anya were talking not stop about sex, Giles was getting the buss ready to go, and Dawn was standing at the edge of the cliff with her arms crossed looking out at the big hole she once called home. Spike would have been there but he sacrificed himself for Buffy and for the world.

"Well, she's all done and ready to go, that is of course if you know where you're going,"

Buffy turned around to look at Giles then responded "Um yeah, I was thinking we can go over to a friends' up in LA."

Dawn heard what she said and she knew where they were going so she couldn't help but yell out with joy. "We're going to Angels' aren't we!"

"Wait what!" Riley yelled out. He felt very uncomfortable hearing Angel's name. He knew Angel was Buffy's first love ( possibly her only love), he wasn't going to lose her to him. " We are not going to his place. I can't …I…I don't want to see him or be near him."

Buffy could see how worried he was. She knew he thought she would go back to Angel. The truth was Buffy could not deny her love for Angel. She could not love another man like she loved Angel. It couldn't happen though. It could never happen! "Riley calm down. We're not going to stay at Angels'"

"Wait, we're not," Dawn shot back.

"No we're not. We're going over to my friend Sharon's house."

Dawn hadn't known many of her friends but she knew this one. Sharon would always call Buffy back in LA when Buffy had been a normal girl at a normal school. All they would ever talk about was boys and gossip. Every time Sharon came over to her house, she would always push Dawn around and call her a little brat. "Sharon, a-as in the Sharon who hates me less then I hate her. Buffy you know that's not gonna work between us. Remember what she used to-"

"It's temporarily, besides Sharon is not that bad."

"Not that bad! Buffy she used to push and yell at me and call me really bad names. She was worse to me than you were oh wait are."

Xander cut in in shock. "Whoa she did all that to you. I'll tell ya what, she does anything to you, I'll go over there and punch her so hard that my hand will disappear!"

Dawn couldn't help but to laugh. It was so funny how Xander thought he could kick anybody's ass when all he could really do was justyell at someone and then either run away crying cuz he got hurtor get on his hands and knees and beg for forgiveness. He had gotten too much influence from Buffy.

"No you will not. Dawn if you have any trouble with Sharon, you come to me and I'll take care of it in the nonviolence sort of way." Buffy replied. She was very good friends with Sharon. They were like best friends when her other friends rejected her.

Dawns' smile left and a frown appeared on her face. "I still think we should stay with Angel. He and I are like really close, well as in friends not lovers like you and him." Dawn turned around and saw the furious face Riley had on. She couldn't help but to laugh inside because if she started to crack up in front of Buffy, she'd be dead in an instant.

"Shut up Dawn!" Buffy yelled. She turned around and looked at Riley. "It didn't mean anything, my rightful place is here with you, okay." Dawn rolled her eyes. Everyone knew that wasn't true. They had all gotten tired of Riley. Every time the name Angel came up or anything from the Buffy/Angel relationship, he would freak and it got so old.

Faith heard what they were talking about and she had to support Dawn even though she knew Dawn and her were not that tight. "Juniors got a point. Riley may not like it, but frankly no one fucking cares. We all feel safe with Angel and like you said its all temporarily."

"Fine we'll try it but if anything goes wrong we're going over to Sharon's. Understood." Buffy said giving in before her head exploded. Everyone nodded. One thing that was for sure was that it was going to be an interesting visit.

Somewhere else

Cordelia was sitting at her desk filing her nails. She had only gone to work with Angel for the money. She didn't like sitting at a desk, answering phone calls, or feeling sympathy for the helpless. It was all too dramatic for her. Harmony was supposed to be working with Cordelia but apparently she only came in when she felt like it. Gunn and Fred had been really tight the past few days. Angel had been training Wesley to fight. Lately, Wesley had been attacked by many vampires and Angel couldn't be there to defend him. Lorne had been up at his karaoke bar redesigning it.

Angel and Wesley came out of the training room. Wesley was sweating like a hog, but Angel just walked out as if nothing.

"Well then…I…believe that we should… practice… more tomorrow." Wesley was trying to catch his breath. Angel had gotten bored training Wesley. It was like training a puppy to pee outside instead of on the carpet. It was impossible.

" Yeah I-I guess." Angel had been very much to himself the last couple of weeks. He hadn't really been there for the gang as much as before. "Has anybody called?"

Cordelia looked up and just shook her head. "It's been very dull the past couple of weeks. I don't think anybody is going to-"

Before Cordelia could finish her sentence the phone rang.

" Never mind." Cordelia picked up the phone. " Angel Investigations. We help the helpless. Howcan we help you?"

" Hi Cordelia! It's Willow."

"Oh Hi Willow. How are you?"

Once Angel heard Cordelia say Willow, he turned around and suddenly became interested in the conversation. He knew it probably had something to do with Buffy.

"I'm good. How 'bout you?"

"Oh I'm just handy dandy. So what's up?"

"Well we sort of destroyed Sunnydale and kind of have no where to go. So we were wondering if you guys have any spare rooms available."

"Are you kidding me we got tons of rooms available."

"Great we'll be there in about 30 minutes."

"Great see ya then."

"Bye."

"Buh-Bye."

"What did she say?" Angel asked.

"Oh they destroyed Sunnydale and they need a place to stay. Hope you don't mind."
