Song lyrics in ** from "Man, I feel like a woman" by Shania Twain
I couldn't think of any other hotels. I don't know if there's a Ritz in LA. If there isn't, just pretend there is

"I can't believe I actually agreed to this," Buffy complained, lying down on the bed. They had just gotten to the hotel where the reunion would be, in LA. They had booked two adjoining rooms at the hotel. Buffy would be sharing with Willow, and Dawn with Xander. Willow was currently testing out the softness of the bed by bouncing on it with the radio on in the background, and had WAY too much energy. 'I wonder if she's been drinking coffee again...'
"Come on, Buffy! It's not that bad. Just think...a whole week's vacation in a luxurious 5 star hotel...heaven!" She said, finally jumping off the bed. A pensive expression appeared on Buffy's face,
"Yeah...I've been wondering about that. How could WE ever afford to stay a whole week in a five star hotel?" Buffy asked. Willow looked unconcerned,
"The Watcher's Council is paying for it." Buffy looked dubious, "It's true! Now that Giles is heading it up for you he made the council pay for it. He thought you deserved a good break. Now enjoy the bounciness of the bed!" Willow cried, resuming her bouncing on her queen-sized bed. Buffy looked at her and sighed,
"I guess you're right. But I don't think we're gonna be here long if you keep bouncing like that," Buffy said, giggling. "They might kick us out!" Willow still kept on bouncing,
"Who cares?!" Willow cried, starting to giggle herself. Willow grabbed Buffy's hands, "Come on! Bounce with me!" Buffy grinned and jumped up onto Willow bed and the two of them started bouncing along with the music, and giggling in the process.

The best thing about being a woman
Is the prerogative to have a little fun and...
Oh, oh, oh, go totally crazy-forget I'm a lady
Men's shirts-short skirts
Oh, oh, oh, really go wild-yeah, doin' it in style
Oh, oh, oh, get in the action-feel the attraction
Colour my hair-do what I dare
Oh, oh, oh, I wanna be free-yeah, to feel the way I feel
Man! I feel like a woman!
The girls need a break-tonight we're gonna take
The chance to get out on the town
We don't need romance-we only wanna dance
We're gonna let our hair hang down
The best thing about being a woman
Is the prerogative to have a little fun and...
Oh, oh, oh, go totally crazy-forget I'm a lady
Men's shirts-short skirts
Oh, oh, oh, really go wild-yeah, doin' it in style
Oh, oh, oh, get in the action-feel the attraction
Colour my hair-do what I dare
Oh, oh, oh, I wanna be free-yeah, to feel the way I feel
Man! I feel like a woman!
The best thing about being a woman

Oh, oh, oh, go totally crazy-forget I'm a lady

Oh, oh, oh, get in the action-feel the attraction
Colour my hair-do what I dare
Oh, oh, oh, I wanna be free-yeah, to feel the way I feel
Man! I feel like a woman!
I get totally crazy
Can you feel it
Come, come, come on baby
I feel like a woman

When the song ended the two girls collapsed into a fit of giggles. This week off was gonna be fun. But Buffy still couldn't help but think of Angel, being so near to him. To be honest, Buffy really did want to see him again. There was something they needed to talk about...

"So Cordy, are you going to the reunion?" Gunn asked. Cordelia looked up from the papers she was sorting through from their last case,
"Yeah, I think I probably will." Wesley came into the office,
"What day will it start?" he asked
"Tomorrow," Cordelia answered, "I wonder if Buffy, Willow and Xander will be there." Angel looked up from his book at the mention of Buffy's name. He hadn't really been listening, but now he wanted to know if Buffy would be there.
"Well, they did go to high school with you...maybe they'll show up," Fred suggested in her strong Texas accent.
"Where are they anyway?" Gunn asked, curiously.
"I don't know," Wesley answered, "The last I heard was that they were travelling the world, looking for slayers. They could be doing something else now."
"They could even be...you know," Gunn suggested. At this point Angel joined in the discussion,
"No they're not. They're not dead. We probably would have known if they were." Fred looked quite uncomfortable at what was being discussed, as did Cordelia, so she changed the subject,
"So where is this reunion being held?" Fred asked. Cordelia looked gratefully at her, silently thanking her for the change of subject.
"It's at the Ritz hotel," she answered, "it starts quite early as well. I guess they wanted us to have a long time to see each other again." The others nodded their heads in agreement, and then there was silence. It seemed like a long time before anyone said anything.
"So...can you guys come with me?" Cordelia tentatively asked. The others looked a little unsure, "Please?" Cordelia pleaded. The others looked at her and each other unsure of what to say.
"Sure, we'll come," Angel spoke up, "Right guys?" he said, emphasising his point. At first they all looked confused, but then they got it and all started nodding. They understood. Angel wanted to see Buffy again, and he didn't want to miss the chance even if she didn't go. Cordelia looked relieved,
"So it's settled then. We're all going. That's good cuz I didn't want to go alone," she said. Despite how she sounded, Cordelia really WAS excited at seeing some of her old high school friends, no matter how much they all changed. She wanted to know what they all looked like and what they all did. Did they finally acknowledge the existence of vampires and demons? Or did they just forget about it or ignore it after graduation? 'Well...I guess I'm gonna find out...'
