Everyone, especially Wesley was completely confused. Wesley walked a little towards buffy, "I'm flattered Buffy but you do have Giles and you're pretty much trained."
Buffy smiled and shook her head, "No I mean you're research know it all guy."
Fred shook her head, "But we can all help with with that."
Buffy shook her head, "I wish you could but Wesley needs to do this."
Wesley couldn't figure out where this was going, "Just explain yourself buffy."
Buffy smiled, "Do you still have your watcher diaries that you kept about me and Faith?"
Wesley nodded, "Of course."
Buffy nodded, "Good because we're going through them. You're going to tell me what we're dealing with."
Wesley still couldn't believe it, "How are my diaries suppossed to help?"
Buffy shrugged, "I do the dreaming. I saw another girl die by the same robed figures, Drusilla tells me beneath you it devours and when this girl fell her arm looked like she was reaching out to a book. When I looked at the book it had your apartment number on it."
Angel sighed, "How can you be so sure it's the watcher diaries?"
Buffy smiled, "In this dream the girl put up a hell of a fight so we can probably make the assumption they're slayer's in training or..."
Wesley finished her sentence, "Potentials."
Buffy nodded, "If I'm right and they are potentials it shows why she was reaching for Wesley's diaries. The last thing a slayer thinks of before she dies is her watcher."
Xander looked up surprised, "Really?"
Buffy nodded, "Yeah."
Xander sighed, "I always thought for you it would be Angel or Spike the last time. Even Riley..."
Buffy smiled, "The watcher to a slayer bond is something no one can break, even if I don't show it too often Wesley."
Wesley smiled, "Well I was only your watcher for a period of a few weeks which I messed up pretty badly."
Buffy sighed, "It wasn't completely bad if you kept a record of all your thoughts. I need to see those diaries."
Wesley shook his head, "Do you have to read them? I mean I wrote stuff and back then you and I weren't exactly..."
Buffy smiled, "Don't worry I won't read them but I'm coming with you to go get them."
Wesley nodded and grabbed a coat, "Good. I've been meaning to stop by my place."
Xander sighed, "What do you want us to do?"
Buffy shrugged when she reached the door, "Sleep...relax... maybe you guys can have that welcome back Angel party."
Dawn sighed, "Well there's another day I don't get trained. I think you did this purposely."
Buffy nodded, "Yep. I paid Dru to send me dreams just so I can see a bunch of girls die and I paid Conner to drop Angel at the bottom of the ocean just so I can come to L.A. I did all of this just so I didn't have to train you anymore."
Dawn shook her head, "You don't have to be so damn sarcastic."
Buffy closed her eyes for a few seconds to control her temper and when she opened them she looked at Angel, "Do you want to train her? Just until I get back."
Dawn looked at Angel already bursting with happiness. Angel smiled back at buffy, "Yeah sure."
Buffy nodded, "Cool. Watch her right hook."
Angel smiled back, "I think I can take it."
Dawn stood up right in front of Angel, "I don't know. I mean I knocked Buffy down with one hit."
Buffy sighed and opened the door. Wesley walked out first without a goodbye and buffy smiled at Xander, "You going to be okay here?"
Xander shrugged, "As long as I can make fun of them all."
Buffy smiled and realized something, "Can you do me a favor?" Xander nodded, "Check on Willow. We haven't phoned in like a week. Something's starting to worry me."
Xander smiled sincerely, "You got it. Now get to work."
Buffy blew him a kiss, "Bye sweetie."
With that she shut the door. Dawn stuck her tongue out at Xander, "She loves you more then me."
Xander shrugged, "What can i say. I knew she would finally open up and see my charms."
Dawn shook her head and looked back at Angel, "I'll go change."
Angel nodded and looked back at xander, "Why is she so excited to be trained?"
Xander sighed, "Because she's jealous. We all get to protect buffy why can't she sort of deal."
Angel nodded and looked beside him at Conner, "You want to come?"
Conner smiled and jumped at the chance to see Dawn again, "Sure."
Fred smiled up at Gunn, "We finally get one of our free days."
Gunn nodded and looks at Angel, "Do you think you're really going to need us today?"
Angel shook his head, "Not until after sunset and even then we're going to see Dru again."
Gunn smiled and grabbed Fred's hand, "We're going to go out for a while then."
Fred giggled a little bit, "Date time."
Gunn guided her up the stairs to get ready for their day. Xander finished the last bit of his coffee and smiled at Angel, "It's nice isn't it. To date someone without drama."
Angel shrugged, "I really wouldn't know."
Xander nodded, "Should of known I was asking the wrong person." He stared at Cordelia now who had been pretty quiet, "So Cordy, you want to spend the day with an ex-boyfriend?"
Cordelia looked at Angel and then smiled at Xander, "I'll be ready in about an hour."
Xander nodded and stood up. After Cordelia was out the door and on her way to her apartment for clothes Xander smiled at Angel, "I'm making a long distance phone call to Englnd."
Angel nodded, "I say hi to Willow."
Xander nodded and assoon as he walked to the phone Dawn came running down the stairs. She stopped right in front of Angel, "Ready to get my ass kicked."
Conner shrugged, "You look like you can handle yourself."
Angel wasn't sure whst to make of that so he smiled, "To the training room then."
Soon the lobby was completely empty with the exception of Xander on the phone at the desk.
-Xander's Car-
Wesley was already scared of buffy's driving as she switched lanes without signaling and sped to all the directions he gave her. Wesley now regretted not driving. "You drive pretty unique buffy Summers."
Buffy smiled, "You can say it. I'm a maniac on the road."
Wesley nodded, "So, you really think this is the way to go?"
Buffy shrugged and made a sharp right turn, "I know it doesn't explain Drusilla but it's possible that these robe people are trying to kill potentials."
Suddenly something clicked in Wesley's brain, "Buffy drive faster. I think I know what we're looking for now."
Buffy smiled and if possible drove faster then she was before.
-Hyperion - Lobby-
Xander stared speechless at the wall in front of him. He was on the phone with Giles who had just told him something he couldn't believe. "Are you sure Giles?"
Giles sighed, "I'm positive Xander. Willow felt it through the ground."
Xander kicked the desk in front of him, "So the hell mouth's gonna open, Drusilla's sending buffy dreams about a bunch of potential slayers dying and we don't know how to explain any of them." Giles stayed silent for a while, "Giles, you still there."
Giles cleared his throat, "Yes of course. I may have a few answers but I'll have to look around. In the meantime i think it's best Willow come home."
Xander had another look of shock flow over his face, "She's coming home?"
"I think it's best. She's stable now Xander and..."
Xander shook his head, "It's not that. It's just I haven't seen her in a few months. That's the longest we've been away from each other out of all the time we've known each other."
Giles smiled, "So this is good news then?"
Xander actually shook his head, "Actually Giles, no. I mean we're not in Sunnydale. We're in L.A. working out the Drusilla thing."
Giles nodded, "So do you want her on a plane to L.A. or to Sunnydale?"
Xander shrugged, "I don't know. You're going to have to speak to the boss."
Giles nodded, "Is she there?"
"No. She's out with Wesley looking at watcher diaries."
Giles tried to hide the dissappointment in his voice, "Oh. Well have her call me as soon as she get's in. Don't alarm Dawn though, this might be nothing."
Xander smiled, "The hell mouth's opening, I think it's something."
Giles nodded, "Well I'll speak to you later."
Xander nodded and got a little emotional for a second, "Tell Willow I love her."
Giles nodded, "I will, I promise."
Xander nodded before he hung up the phone. He walked to the couch until he realized Cordy was coming back to hang with him. Once he realized he was still in pajamas he ran upstairs. Now the Lobby was completely empty.
-Hyperion - Training Room-
Angel lay flat on the floor as Dawn and Conner stood over him. Dawn looked a little worried, "I'm so sorry. I mean buffy did warn you."
Angel slowly nodded, "I'm fine Dawn. You do have a hell of a right hook though."
Conner smiled, "Impressive."
Dawn nodded, "Buffy's sister. Some of the slayer crap must of been passed down since the monks made me out of her."
Angel sat up a little bit as he stared at Dawn with curiousity, "What do you mean made you out of her?"
Dawn looked shocked, "You mean buffy didn't tell you?" When Angel shook his head Dawn continued, "Long story short... These monks made me out of buffy and sent me to her because they had to make sure I was safe. They created everyone's memories and mine. I used to be a key that opened a portal to every single hell dimension in the world. Only my blood would close the portal and that's how Buffy died."
Angel nodded still shocked, "Wow. So all those times I actually went to L.A..."
Dawn shook her head, "They feel like they happened but the only real stuff is everything that happened after I came to Sunnydale."
Conner finally spoke, "So you're technically only two and a few months." Dawn nodded and Conner smiled, "I'm only a few months old in this world."
Dawn helped Angel up as she stared into Conner's eyes, "Well then maybe we were suppossed to meet. You know having something in common with someone else usually makes it easy to talk to them."
Conner nodded, "I'm gettin' that."
Angel looked back and forth betwen them and finally spoke, "Let's try that again."
Dawn smiled and got into position. Now Angel was left of thoughts containing the possibility of Dawn and Conner.
