A young woman stepped off of a plane at The Los Angeles International Airport. She calmly walked out of the terminal and hailed a taxi. One pulled up and she stepped in.

"Where to?" asked the cabbie as she took her seat. The woman took out a flyer and handed it to him. "Angel Investigations?" he asked. "Ma'am Angel Investigations closed down a year and a half ago."

"Yes, I know. I still want to go to the building."

"It's a long drive." The cabbie said.

"I've got the money."

Angel got up and felt tired. That had never happened to him as a vampire. He got out of bed, with some difficulty, and got dressed. He pulled on a pair of black jeans and a red button down shirt. He laced up his boots and went to the bathroom. He relieved himself, shaved and brushed his teeth. He made sure Spike wasn't looking and looked at his reflection again. He tried to vamp out his face but it didn't work, his scowl just turned even more scowly. He smiled and walked downstairs. He scribbled a note to Spike, in case he cared where he went, and walked out into the blinding sunlight. He spread his arms and drank it in before starting down the road.

Spike woke up about a half hour after Angel. He dressed in his normal clothing but left the jacket for now. He didn't gel his hair either, no need yet he thought. He walked down the stairs and was looking over the hotel. He tried to imagine all that had happened here. The Scoobies had heard all about everything from Willow, and Spike, as much as he didn't want to admit it, was impressed by the Great Poof. Rescuing girls from a hell dimension, having a son, losing his son to an old enemy, being locked away at the bottom of the ocean for the summer, beating back one of the old powers and being in charge of Wolfram& Hart. It made his little "pillar of fire" act seem not as great as he supposed.

Angel was walking down the street, back to the hotel, laden with groceries and was waiting for the lights to change colors. Once the lights glowed green Angel hurried across the intersection. As he walked across the street a taxi cab pulled up right at the spot he was standing at. Angel looked down into his bag and swore.

"Damnit!" he said turning around. "I forgot the ice cream!" He looked up and saw a blonde haired woman getting out of a taxi.

"Oh my God." he said to himself. "Buffy." He promptly dropped what he was carrying and his mouth dropped open. He suddenly realized that standing here gawking would be the wrong way for Buffy to see him. Just as he turned to head back Buffy looked up and there eyes locked for a single second before Angel turned and started running back to the hotel.

Buffy was looking across the street at the man who dropped his groceries.

'Man, he looks like Angel.' She thought. She watched him run until he was around the corner. 'Moves like him too.' She shrugged and started walking down the same road, towards the Hyperion.

Moments after Spike woke up Angel cam bursting into the hotel.

"What's with the marathon man?" asked Spike coming down the stairs. "You look like you saw a ghost."

"Close." panted Angel. "Buffy." Spike's eyes went wide.

"Buffy's here!" he looked around nervously. "I need to gel my hair."

"Buffy's in L.A. and all you can think about is your hair?"

"Well what are you thinking about? Last time I checked when you got fleshy with her you went evil."

"And the last time she checked you'd go up like a matchstick if I did this!" he pushed Spike into the sunlight.

"Stop pushing me around Angel!" yelled Spike as he launched himself at his comrade. Angel took the blow in the chest and the two were on the floor, rolling on top of each other. They finally stopped when a voice rang out.

"Well this isn't exactly how I expected to find you two." said Buffy arms crossed looking at the two men. "Wait, yes it is."

Angel looked up at Spike, pushed him up and stood in front of Buffy he was still in the shadows with Spike right next to him. "How did you know we were here?" he asked.

"Giles heard about what happened with Wolfram& Hart. I came to see if you were alright."

"I'm fine." They both said at the same time. They looked at each other. "She was asking about me!" They both said again. "No she wasn't!" again at the same time.

"I came to check on both of you." She said. "I've noticed you haven't changed a bit though." At this Spike and Angel exchanged glances.

"Actually Buffy," said Angel. "A lot's changed; for both of us." Buffy gave him a confused look so, to clarify everything so Angel and Spike took a step forward and walked into the sun.

"OK." said Buffy. "Why are you two not going up in flames?"

"We Shanshued," said Angel. "There's a prophecy about a vampire with a soul. If he plays a major role in the apocalypse he will shanshu, become human."

"It's our reward." said Spike. "Now we can walk in the sun, holy water only makes us wet, crosses are nothing and stakes aren't a problem."

"Actually Spike," said Angel. "If I stabbed you in the heart with a wodden stake you'd still die."

"Whoa whoa whoa!" said Buffy. "You two are red blood humans because you got sand in your shoes?"

Angel sighed. "Let's go inside and discuss this over breakfast. I'm starving. Seems like a century since I ate."
