"Hey Dead Boy's back and he brought Faith with him," Xander stated the obvious after a few awkward moments of silence.
"Willow called them," Slayer pointed at Willow.
"We need help. The research is getting us no where." Willow withered under everyone's glare.
"Well why everyone is glaring. I guess I need to go feed and check on the captive." Slayer smiled as she walked up the stairs. "Oh and Angel and Faith are dating."
"Engaged actually," Faith smiled weakly.

"Oh it's you," Vampire sneered when Slayer walked in.
"If you are trying to make me feel bad, you don't have to bother." Slayer sighed as she held out the cup of blood with a straw for Vampire to drink out of.
"What's wrong with you?" He asked suspiciously.
"Angel and Faith came back to town, very much engaged to each other." Slayer explained. "It's not that I hate Faith anymore or that I'm still not over Angel. It's just the thought of them…Oh who am I kidding. I still love Angel and I hate Faith with a fiery passion. Still, everyone has someone Buffy has Spike, Willow has Xander, now Faith has Angel, and here I am stuck upstairs with an evil Vampire hostage."

"You okay Luv," Spike asked as he walked into the kitchen with Buffy.
"Spike, I am totally okay with Angel and Faith. They should be happy. I just wish them half the happiness I have." She smiled as she kissed him deeply.
"Not to dismiss the declaration of love, but then why the frown," Spike asked.
"I just want everything to go back to its' usually semi-craziness. I mean the Slayer-half of me is right now upstairs with the Vampire-half of you, and I can't believe it took me this long to realize how bad an idea that was." Buffy bolted upstairs mid-rant. Spike not being pregnant of course beat her upstairs.
"I wouldn't go in there Luv," Spike warned her.
"They could kill each other; and us in the process." Buffy reminded him.
"Trust me. They won't be killing each other anytime in the next five hours or so." Spike assured her.
"What do you mean?" Buffy asked and then she recognized a familiar sound. "Oh, I'll try and keep everybody else downstairs."
