Late August

"So, when do you start school again?" Angel asked Buffy as

they packed up their belongings.

"Next week. What about you?" She asked, shoving her tooth

brush in its travel case.

"Next week."

Buffy looked up at him with a smile. "Whoa. That's cool.

Now you won't have anytime to brood about me being gone."

"Yeah. Plus the fact that I'm going to Sunnydale High

School." He said with a smirk as he threw his boxers into

his bag.

Buffy dropped her curling iron. "What? What do you mean

you're going to Sunnydale High School?" She asked slowly.

"Oh I didn't tell you? Silly me. My parents bought a house

in Sunnydale. We move in a month but Connor and I are going

to stay with my cousin so we can start school on time. In

fact we better get going. I have to meet my brother at the

bus station." He replied, zipping up his duffle bag.

"Angel… are you serious?" She asked him in awe.

"Dead serious. I spoke to my parents last week and they

told me. I'm just worried. I don't know what the neighbor

hoods like. My mom says our neighbor is nice and that

there's this girl my age that lives next door. Umm… 1633

Revello Drive, or something like that. Is that a good

neighborhood Buff?" He asked as he headed out of the

bedroom.

Buffy zipped up her bag and ran after him. "That's right

next door. Oh my god. Angel! I can't believe this." She

yelled as she hugged him.

"Yup. No matter what, you'll never be able to get rid of

me." He said before placing his lips on top of hers.

Reluctantly he pulled away. "I wasn't joking though when I

said we needed to hurry up. Or bus leaves in about two

hours and I still have to meet Connor."

"Okay. Buffy grabbed her bag and followed them down to the

landlords apartment to drop off their keys.
