CHANGES AND VISITS FROM THE PAST-
By Rachelle Williams
A/N: My friend, Sue, hates Joss Whedon for parting Cordelia and Angel. Although all of my BtVS and AtS loving friends consider Joss to be god, as do I, Sue stopped believing that after You're Welcome aired. So, here's to Sue M.
Xover: with BtVS
Summary: Set in season three of AtS, Angel has his humanity after saving a group of people who were very powerful, and as a reward for that, they turned Angel into a human. He confesses his love to Cordelia shortly after, and they are going out. But, what happens when one day the Scoobies decide to visit? How will Buffy react? (Note: No Darla, no Connor, no Wesley turning evil (In this fic, he is still with Virginia) and Gunn and Fred happy)
Parings: C/A, B/S, F/G,
Disclaimer: Do you have to remind me for the 100th time how unlucky I am to NOT OWN ANGEL!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/START/
Angel and Cordelia were sitting on the couch, both dressed up for Wesley's birthday party. Angel was holding Cordelia's hand and looking at the ring. "This ring is soo perfect on you" Angel commented while carresing Cordelia's cheek. Cordelia giggled. "Why not? I chose the perfect man" Cordelia kissed Angel. Buffy was looking at them jealously.
"Yeah, the perfect man you STOLE from me!" Buffy whispered, but enough for Cordelia's ears to hear. "What?" Cordelia said angrily from her seat. Buffy had a evil grin on her face, "Yeah" Before long, Buffy was choking on her drink and Cordelia was smiling. Angel couldn't keep from laughing, he burst out. Buffy was confused and freaked out and Xander was feeling like he wasn't there.
"How did you do that?" Buffy's face of confusion made Cordelia grin. "I'm something a WEE bit little special than you" Cordelia settled back down, listing the plans for Wesley's party. "Something more powerful than I am! So, now you are stealing my powers too!" Buffy choked again, this time with no water down her throat. Cordelia snapped her fingers and Buffy was able to breathe again. Gunn laughed from his seat. "Told'ya" Gunn said to Angel.
Xander ran up to his room, to be saved from choking. Anya followed him. Gunn continued laughing seeing the paled look on both Buffy and Xander's faces. "I think we should remove shrouth. Wesley would rather go with the 50's movies style" Cordelia suggested. Angel nodded his head in approval. "How'bout removin' the old golden rod thingy? It's like that Tanchu demon we fought" Gunn shudered as saying the name.
Cordelia smiled, "That's the lining" Angel burst out laughing. Gunn looked embarrassed. Buffy looked on in jealously. "I should've been sitting there, suggesting that.." Buffy muttered. Fred come down the stairs, wearing her dress. Gunn looked at her. His eyes wide as he absorbed the beauty infront of him. "Oh, my god..." Gunn managed. "What?" Fred asked worried. "Do I look bad?" Fred looked at her dress. "No... I mean... You look so beautiful.." Gunn once again drifted into thoughts. Fred giggled at the face Gunn made.
"Yo, there!" Angel brought Gunn out of his thoughts. "Are you going to stand there or do your bowtie already?" Gunn quickly started tying them. Cordelia marked one last thing and turned to Angel. "Tada! I'm done!" Cordelia said, putting on a smile that always made Angel's heart melt. Buffy felt her jealousy rise. That's it. Buffy rushes up the stairs to her room.
"What's her problem?" Gunn asked, finally annoyed with the way Buffy was acting with Cordelia. "Nothing, jealousy is eating her because her ex-boyfriend has gotten together with her rival from high-school" Cordelia happily churred away. "Why is she sooo immature?" Fred asked. "That's something NO ONE will ever know" Cordelia smiled.
Suddenly, Cordelia's cell rang and she picked it up. "Hello?" Cordelia spoke into the phone. "Hello?" Virginia said from the other side of it. "Wesley is getting more eager to leave the Opera-Theater. I can keep him in here for another 2 hours. Be ready soon" With that, Virginia shut the cell. "Well, looks like Wes is getting bored at the Opera-Ottora" Cordelia announced. "Impossible! Ottora Te's performances are the best!" Gunn exclaimed, then realized he said it outloud. "Hey, I was cool before I met you guys, 'kay? Don't dump it on me!" Gunn angrily sat down on the couch.
"It's okay, baby. No one's judging you" Fred consoled Gunn. Angel and Cordelia were holding in mounds of laughter that itched to get out. "Ottora Te is famous. You must just like her" Fred patted Gunn on the back. That was it. Angel and Cordelia burst out laughing.
Meanwhile, at the Ottora Te Opera:
Ottora Te is performing 'Moonlight Crystal' as Wesley and Virginia look on. Wesley is looking incredibly bored, while Virginia trying to hide her boreness by acting enthusiastic. Wesley turns his head away from the stage and Virginia face turns to the boreness she was really feeling. Wesley turns back and she has a huge smile on her face like she's enjoying it.
"How can you possibly sit through this?" Wesley asked, his eyesbrows up in disgust. Virginia turns. "C'on! This is sooooo great! Look, look, the French Horn!" Virginia used her best fake enthusiastic voice. Wesley looked at the stage and Virginia's face showed the boreness openly. Wesley turned to look at her and her face had reverted back to the big smiley one.
Wesley sighed and eased in his seat, trying to get comfortable. He forces his eyes open every time sleep hits them. "Maybe we should just...go..." Wesley yawns. Virginia notes the time on her watch. Only half an hour has past since the phone call to Cordelia. "Let's wait till it's finished. Only one and a half hour to go" Virginia said and Wesley groaned. "Why do we have stay here until the end of this unbelievably boring, relen--" Wesley looked around to see glaring people.
"Oh.." Wesley groans and steadies himself on the seat.
Meanwhile, in Buffy's room:
Willow enters. Buffy is pacing hardly back and forth, anger swirling in her. "Hey, how are you doing?" Willow asked gently. "BAD! How can Angel choose her over me! I'm the love of his life and I deserve to be with him! So what if she is his Seer? Champions and Seers can have a platonic relationship, can't they!" Buffy's outburst shakes Willow to the core. "Well, no--" Willow started but was cut off. "NO! IT'S A YES!" Buffy dropped face-first to her bed."I came back from the dead, Will" Buffy's muffled voice came. 'Okay, now I seriously have to do something..." Willow thought and exited.
Spike lied on the bed in his room, looking up at the ceiling. Focused. The door opened and he jumped at the sound. "Willow!" He was relieved. "What are you doing here?" He asked. "Spike, the relationship between Cor and Angel is taking a lot out of Buffy. I think you should come to the party" Willow said. "Why? Can't the poof handle her well?" Spike's jealousy had grown. "No, plus, he's really just staying away from her" Willow said. Spike sighed, got up and nodded. "Fine, fine. I'll just go ask peaches if he's gonna lend me one of his tuxes" Spike exited. Willow looked relieved. 'Thank god, he said yes. Buffy's really gonna need him. And I know just how much he wants her..." Willow exited the room, closing the door behind her.
Downstairs:
Cordelia was sitting on the couch as Anya sat down beside her. "Hi, Cordelia" She greeted. "Hi, Anya" Cordelia replied. "So, I heard your wedding's in 5 weeks?" Anya asked. "Yes, it is. But why?" Cordelia raised an eyebrow. "I was just wondering, who's gonna be your florist?" Anya asked. "Uhh, y'know what? We haven't really decided it yet. But, I bought my wedding dress already. And I keep it safe in Fred's room so that Angel doesn't see it, 'cause it's bad luck" Cordelia said.
"Really? Who's the designer?" Anya asked, VERY interested. "Vasian" Cordelia said. "Vasian? Never heard of it" Anya informed. "It's a store with cheap wedding dresses. We couldn't afford one from any high-priced place" Cordelia said. "Oh, money saving! So where is this place?" Anya asked in an excited tone. "Uh..." Cordelia was creeped out.
Fred came out of the kitchen with the cake. Gunn came in from the garden. "Yo, all done!" Gunn said as he helped Fred with the cake. "Chocolate?" Gunn questioned. "Yeah, Wes likes it" Fred informed. Angel looked at his watch. 'Only one hour to go, plus Spike-radio-active wanted to come' He thought. Spike came down, wearing Angel's second best tux. 'I'm always second best' the bleach blonde thought. Buffy came down, wearing a long, pink gown. Cordelia looked up to see her glaring. "Oh" Angel looked at Buffy. "You look nice" He commented. Buffy even didn't look at him. "Eh. Atleast didn't stake me.." Angel shrugged it off. Spike, however, could not keep his eyes off of her. Soon, the rest of the Scoobies came down from their rooms, ready for the party. The doorbell rang.
"I'll get it!" Fred opened the door to reveal...
Lindsey and Kate. "Hi!" Kate hugged Fred and she hugged back. "Oh, so nice to see you!" Fred replied. Cordelia soon joined her. The Fang Gang hugged and shaked hands with the two visitors. The Scoobies were waiting for an introduction. "Uh, Lindsey, Kate, meet our guests,um, Willow, Xander, Dawn, Giles, Tara, Anya, Spike and Buffy, a.k.a the Scoobies" Cordelia introduced them. "Uh, Scoobies, these people are, well, Lindsey and Kate McDonald. Shake hands" They shaked hands.
Lindsey and Angel talked to each other as both the Fang Gang girls busied Kate in an 'catching up' conversation. The Scoobies felt uncomfortable. They had no one but each other to talk to, oh, and there was Gunn, but he wasn't really paying them any attention.
Cordelia's cell rang again. "Hello?" "Hello, Cordelia?" It was Virginia. "We are in the parking lot, you should finish up soon, we'll be there in half hour. Take care" The other line cut off. "Hey, guys!" All of the people in the room looked up at her. "We have half an hour. Get ready" Everyone had decided which place they'd hide in and who would check if there was any disturbance. Now, 3 minutes to complete half an hour, all the guests had arrived, the lights were turned off and everyone was hiding. "Ohh, power went off" Wesley said from outside. "Yeah. So, I guess we should go in?" Virginia said. Wesley unlocked the door and stepped in and was surprised by about 50 people saying...
"SURPRISE!" Wesley was shocked, and Virginia was giggling. "Happy birthday, Wes, my man" Gunn cheered from the crowd of people. "We love you!" Fred said. "OH MY GOD! You guys!" Wesley almost had tears in his eyes. "Thanks" Wesley hugged each one of them. "May your birthday wish be granted" Anya said. "Oh, that's--Oh! Kate, Lindsey! And LILAH!" He hugged the ex-evil lawyers, then Kate. "It has been 2 years!" "We know!" The three said together. "This is the best birthday I've ever had. Thanks, you guys. Thank you so much!" Wesley had started crying. "Oh, come on, what are you? A girl?" Angel said. Wesley laughed and hugged him. "Happy 28th birthday" Cordelia hugged Wesley.
They headed to the garden, which when Wesley stepped foot in, he gasped. "Oh, my god!" The garden was decorated with christmas lights, there were chairs, tables and a long buffet table around and plus, a bar with music. Lorne was the bartender and music host. "Hey, happy birthyear, Wes!" Lorne congratulated. "Oh, I love you guys!" Wesley, once again, hugged each one of them. "If you want to thank anyone, thank Virginia. She helped us out a lot" Angel informed him. Wesley kissed Virginia and gave her a long hug. "Thanks a lot, Gini" Wesley said as he pulled apart. "You're welcome" She kissed him again.
"Okay, let's get this party started!" Lorne announced on his microphone. He put on 'I'm So Excited' by the Pointer Sisters. Everyone had took their seat, Gunn was still digging at the buffet table. Willow looked from Spike to Buffy. "Hey, why don't you two dance?" Willow suggested. Buffy and Spike looked at Willow, then at each other. They both shrugged. "Okay" They said in unison.

Sorry, guys. I was getting tired writing this. The next chapter will have a lot of Spuffy fluff. My pocket money will get cut off soon but it's all worth it, if you keep reviewing, and NOT POST FLAMES.
