Chapter Five-Reunion, Hacking, and a Road Trip
Buffy lifted up her head and saw Angel. Oh great. Angel still thought that Spike was evil. OH NO! ANGEL STILL THOUGHT THAT SPIKE WAS EVIL! She hoped that he didn't have a stake with him. She stepped in-between the two vampires.
"Angel," Buffy started, "This is going to take a long explanation. Let's go to your place. Okay?"
"I kind of have a problem with that, seeing how Spike is EVIL!" Angel said angrily.
"I'll explain everything when we get to your place, okay?"
"Okay."
They walked out and headed a little ways down the street. Angel unlocked the door to his place, and they all went in and sat down.
"Listen, Angel. And listen VERY carefully," Buffy began, "Spike is not like you think he is. He's not evil. I'm going to tell you something that you have to promise to keep to yourself. Promise?" she waited for an answer.
"If it will explain this strange news, then I promise," Angel replied, a little stunned.
"Spike and I are from the future," she saw Angel a little taken aback, "Six years into the future.
Three years from now, Spike will, or might not now, get a chip in his head. 3 years from then, he gets a soul. For me. SO, you can understand that you have to keep this information to yourself, right?"
"Yes, I understand. Since you've got Spike, I think that I'm going to leave town," he said, still taking in all of this information.
"Go to L.A. They could use a lot of help down there," Spike said, saying it with a lot of eagerness in his voice. You could tell that he REALLY wanted Angel to leave town.
"Thanks for the tip. Good-bye," Angel said, turning around.
"No, Angel. I still haven't decided between you and Spike. So stay in town. I need that much to help sort out my thoughts. Okay?"
"Okay," he said.
"So see you around?" Buffy asked.
"Yeah," Angel replied.
And with that, Buffy and Spike left and headed back to the Bronze. Once they were in, Willow, Xander, and CORDELIA came over. Her and Willow were talking about Willow's new look and how it could change her social life.
"Maybe, but I think I'll stick with my friends," Willow said, pointing to Buffy, Xander, and Spike.
"Well, then," Cordy said, and the gang suspected something sarcastic, "I guess that I'm going to be hanging around you guys a lot."
Wow. That was not what ANYONE expected. They were in total shock. But then, Willow spotted someone in the corner that she recognized.
"Oh. My. God," Willow said, and pointed to the corner, "Look who's over there!"
Everyone looked, but only Buffy and Xander recongnized her. It was Veruca. Willow scowled at her, then returned her attention to the gang.
"So," Willow began, "What was all that about? Angel leaving early?"
"No, Willow, he isn't. I haven't gotten my thoughts straightened out yet. I told him that we were from the future, and he promised to keep it to himself," Buffy told her.
"At least we don't have to deal with Angelus and Giles can be with Jenny because you know what will happen if you choose him," Xander said.
"Well, guys," Buffy started, "I'm gonna get going. See ya!"
With that, Buffy and Spike left the Bronze, and headed to the cemetery.
"So I guess we're patrolling, pet?" Spike asked.
"As always," the Slayer replied, "Oh my god, I left my patrol stuff at my house! I guess we're not patrolling tonight. Oh well. I'm tired anyway. Let's go home," Then she realized something, "OH! You can't stay at my house! My mom's there! You can stay at the mansion in Restfield Cemetery(A/N Is that where Angel's mansion was?) for a little while."
"Okay, luv," Spike said, "Calm down. Yes, I will stay there. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Alright. Bye," Buffy told him. Then she walked off towards her house and he walked towards the mansion.

Later that night…
Willow had just gotten home from the Bronze. She snuck in because it was so late. She went over to her desk and opened her black laptop. She turned it on and got on the internet and opened a window. A pop-up ad came up, but the red-head ignored it. She went to Google and did a search-
Search-Maclay, Tara, 16
It was taking a long time, but Willow finally found the right Tara. She lived just outside of Los Angeles. Willow printed out the address and phone number. She got up, grabbed her coat, and opened the bedroom door.
Willow started down the hallway. But then she heard someone coming, so she quickly threw her coat in the bathroom to the left.
"Willow?" her mom asked, "What are you doing at this hour?"
"Just going to the bathroom, Mom," Willow replied. She had gotten quite good at fooling people over the years.
"Okay, honey," her mother said, and then went back to her bedroom.
Willow waited a few minutes to be sure. Then she went into the bathroom and grabbed her jacket. She left a note for her parents, grabbed the family car keys, went outside, and got into the car. She was going to need a really long explanation for her parents when she got back to Sunnydale. She pulled out of the driveway and got on the highway.
After a couple of hours of driving and sometimes using magic to keep herself awake, she went to a hotel and checked in. She would have to wait to see Tara until later.
When Willow entered the room, the bathroom was the first thing on the right. Then there was a closet past that on the right. When she went a little further, there was a dark wooden dresser with a TV on it on the left. There was a remote on top of the TV, and a list of channels. Willow turned right and saw a bed with a floral comforter. By the bed was a lamp and phone on a desk. Past the bed was a desk, a computer chair, and a lamp of the desk.
Willow set her stuff down and got her pajamas out. She went into the bathroom with them and set them on the toilet seat. She looked into the mirror. She saw a red-headed, tired teenage girl. But inside,she was an excited, adult witch. She couldn't wait to see her sparkling Tara again! So she quickly changed, went and turned the light off, and went to bed. She would go see Tara aroung 5 of 6 p.m. later that day. For now, she would rest.
5:03 p.m. later that day
Willow woke up with a start. She didn't know where she was for a second, but then she remembered. She got out of bed, grabbed her coat and keys, and headed out. She got in the car and went to the address, which was a few miles away. She pulled up into the driveway and took a deep breath. She got out of the car and took a deep breath, and knocked on the door.
