A/N: Please review shorty but I'm not getting much reviews and I said less reviews shorter chapters sorry to you my faithful reveiwers, adn those of you that read just review the story

"Angel!" Buffy ran out of bed and grabbed Angel's hand "No Buffy, I don't want to see you, please go back to Sunnydale or somewhere in L.A. where I won't see you"

Buffy pleaded "Please Angel I didn't even know what was going on until the plate dropped" Angel still angry replied "So this was a spell?"

Dawn walked to Buffy's room after all the yelling "What's everyone yelling about?"

Angel told her "Buffy had sex with Spike!" Dawn's eyes welled up "What! Spike you, you said. I HATE YOU!"

Dawn ran out of the room as fast as she could. Angel looked at Buffy for a moment and followed Dawn. "Dawn wait up! I know what's going on" When he caught up with her he put his arm on her shoulder Dawn sniffed "I know" Angel could barely make out her words "Calm down let's deal with this together, I'll show you my "brooding" area

Angel's brooding area was a little edge outside the third story with enough room just to lay down.

"This is nice" Dawn smiled a half smile. "Just wish, never mind" Dawn said trying to admit what had just happened Angel tried to comfort her "I Know what you mean thought someone loved you then they stay with someone else or something"

Dawn again half smiled "Doesn't seem real" "Not much does anymore, the Wolfram & Hart battle, Buffy pretending to be in love with me, becoming human, everything since I left Sunnydale has just not seemed real"

"I'm not real" Dawn said tears starting to flow again. "Dawn you can't keep yourself down because of that, your not the key anymore"

"I know, but you can't really get over 14 years of your life not being real, since we're avoiding going inside let's talk about how you became human"

Flashback

"Gunn! The dragon!" Gunn turned around only to be sliced open in the chest "We lost him Gunn dammit" All the demons seemed to be coming from a concentrated point. "Spike get my back I'm going for the center" Spike and Illyria held off the demons. Spike was twisting a demon with spikes for arms (kind of ironic).

Illyria was busy staking the vampire section of the army. Seventeen vampires jumped on Illyria at once all biting her at once, then she fell and didn't get up.

Angel made a mad rush to the center where he saw it the demon conjuring all the others. He took his sword and cut it's head off, and as soon as he did all the demons died. After everything ended a glow started around Angel and grew into a bright light and when it disappeared he was human

End Flashback

"Interesting" Dawn smiled "Was that a real smile" Angel asked "It was now you need one"

"Sorry the Angel package doesn't come with smiles unless there's a Buffy"
