Chapter Two: A Call from the Past
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Buffy woke up that morning at the same time as every other day, and it looked like it would be the same as all the others. The same people were in the kitchen as usual eating breakfast.
"Morning Buffy," Willow greeted her, looking up from the newspaper. Everyone else looked up from their food on hearing Willow,
"Hey Buffster! Sleep okay?" Xander asked. Buffy shrugged at him,
"Oh you know. The usual. So what's going on today? Anything new? Please say yes?" Willow looked apologetically at her and answered,
"Sorry. Not as far as I know. Xander?" Xander shook his head in reply; since he was too busy stuffing his Twinkie into his mouth. 'I thought he outgrew that,' Buffy thought.
"Great. Just great," Buffy groused, plopping herself into a chair opposite her friends. Right at that moment Dawn came skipping into the room,
"I got the mail! You three all got something." Everyone looked surprised. Who would send them anything? They rarely got any mail, and when they did it was usually bills. Sometimes they would get the occasional letter from Giles, but that was it. Even after living in Cleveland for four years they still didn't know many people. The letters were very strange looking. They were yellow envelopes with maroon writing on the front.
"Come on guys! Open them!" Dawn said excitedly. The others just looked at each other, shrugged, and started to carefully open the letter...

Angel and the rest of the AI crew tiredly walked into the hotel lobby. Sure they owned a law firm now, but none of them really wanted to get rid of the old hotel. It had too many memories for them.
They had all just come back from a long day of working at the formerly evil law firm. As the boss, Angel had even more work to do, as well as helping the hopeless like they originally did.
As he walked past the counter, Angel noticed a small pile of mail left there. On looking at them, he saw that two were just bills and one of them was a letter for Cordelia. It was a yellow envelope with maroon writing on it. He examined it for a moment,
"Cordy! You got a letter over here!" Angel called out "a very strange looking one, too," he then mumbled. Cordelia made her way over to the counter and the others followed suit, wanting to know what it was about.
"Who's it from?" She asked. Fred came over and glanced at the envelope, and found no clue as to what could be inside.
"Why don't you open it?" Fred suggested. By this time everyone was curious and wanted to know what was in such a strangely coloured envelope. Cordelia shrugged and started to open the letter. When she got it open the others all ran over to see what it was.
"What is it?" Gunn asked. Cordelia looked up at everyone,
"It's-"

"-an invitation," Buffy said, "to our 10 year high school reunion." Xander, Willow, and Dawn all looked surprised.
"Has it really been ten years since we graduated?" Xander asked.
"I guess so," Willow answered, "doesn't seem like it though." Upon hearing Willow's answer Xander looked depressed,
"Oh man, I'm really old." Buffy, Willow, and Dawn laughed.
"You are not old, Xander. We're all 28 years old. That's not so bad," Willow sympathised.
"Wait a minute...Where are we going to have this reunion exactly? We blew up the high school...then it got swallowed into the Hellmouth just like the rest of the town," Xander asked them, confusion written all over his face. Buffy's eyes scanned the invitation, looking for where it would be held. After a quick search she found it,
"It's in...Oh god. It's in LA," Buffy said, "you know what? I don't think I'm gonna go." Buffy said dropping the invitation. Willow immediately looked at Buffy,
"Why not? We could see all of our old friends again."
"All of the ones who aren't dead anyway," Xander mumbled. Buffy and Willow ignored Xander.
"It's just...Angel's in LA, and I don't...I don't think I'm ready to see him again," Buffy explained.
"Come on Buff, please?" Xander begged, "He might not even go and even if he does you don't have to talk to him. Please?"
"Please, Buffy?" Willow added. Willow saw it wasn't totally getting through to Buffy so she put on her resolve face, "See? Resolve face." Buffy sighed in defeat,
"Fine. I'll go with you guys to the reunion." Willow, Xander, and Dawn beamed in triumph and all gave each other high fives. But Buffy interrupted their little celebration,
"BUT..." The others stopped celebrating and Xander and Dawn froze in the middle of their high five,
"What are we going to do about the Hellmouth?" Willow looked relieved that that was the only problem
"We can leave Kennedy in charge of the junior slayers. They can protect it for a little while. I mean...they are doing a good job in their training, right?" Buffy looked uncertain,
"Yeah...but-" Xander interrupted,
"Then it's settled! We're going to the reunion!" He yelled. Buffy looked a little less than thrilled,
"I guess we are." Dawn started jumping up and down in excitement,
"Los Angeles...Here we come!"
