Right Kind Of Wrong
Alright-y then, I wasn't going to update until a little later, but it wouldn't leave me alone. My muse kept screaming at me to update a little more, before I go on holiday next week. So here is another update, it may not be as long as the others, but it's here.
Willow pulled Giles car into the Summers driveway. Buffy was a little nervous, because she didn't know how her mother was going to react. She just prayed to the powers that she wouldn't react the way she did when she ran away and came back. Faith grabbed her hand.
"It's okay B, she knows what happened. It'll be alright." She told her softly.
All the girls got out of the car, but before they could make it to the door, Joyce threw the door open and gave Buffy a hug.
"Oh, I missed you so much. Are you okay? Did he hurt you?" Joyce asked in concern.
"No, mom I'm fine. See all safe and sound-y." She reassured her mother.
Giles came running out of the house and enveloped Buffy in a hug. It took Buffy by surprise because Giles wasn't the one to show emotion. When he realized what was going on, he let go of his slayer.
"Quite alright, welcome home Buffy. Is all well, with you?" He asked, going back to his stuffy British ways.
"Yes, for the millionth time already I am fine. Angel didn't hurt me, we actually talked and we came to an understanding. This reminds me, we really need to talk." She told her mom and Giles.
The small group went inside and told the whole entire story, (completely edited of course) about Cordelia and everything else. Then they went into their plan to trap the girl and expose her to Xander. Giles looked at the trio in surprise; they came up with a great plan.
"I can't believe Cordelia would do this? I mean, okay you two were close senior year, but she has a thing for you." Joyce tried to understand.
"Yep that's it. Nothing more, nothing less." Faith told the elder Summers.
The doorbell rang causing Buffy to jump a little, "We weren't expecting anyone were we?" She asked.
Joyce got up to open the door, "Cordelia, Xander, and Oz." She told her daughter.
Before she opened the door, Faith and Buffy broke apart. Buffy went upstairs and Faith went into the kitchen. It was show time Joyce opened the door and in walked Oz, Xander, and Cordelia. Joyce smiled at each of them warmly.
"Where's the Buffster?" Xander asked.
Buffy came downstairs eyes all puffy and red, like she had been crying (It isn't hard to fake tears). Xander ran to her and gave her a hug.
"Buffy, I'm so glad you're back. You keep disappearing on us; we might have to equip you with Lo Jack." He told her.
"No need to do that Xand, I'm not going anywhere." She smiled.
Oz gave her a nod, which she returned. Cordelia ran up to the blonde and gave her a hug.
"I'm so glad that you're back. Why do you look like you've been crying? Did something happen? Did he do anything to you?" She asked concerned.
"I'm fine; he didn't do anything to me. My relationship with Faith is over." She said, softly sniffling.
"It's okay, we can have a girl's day just you and me like we used too." She suggested.
Buffy caught Faith's eye and smiled, she nodded her head slightly.
"I would like that very much." She gave her a smile.
Joyce came in to announce that dinner was ready, and everyone made their way to the table. Faith across from Willow, and Buffy was on one side of Cordelia, but diagonally from Buffy so she could see what was going on.
"Buffy, what happened with Angel did he try anything?" Willow asked.
"No, he didn't perfect gentle- well vampire. We talked about some things and came to a conclusion about our relationship." She stated.
"What was that?" Giles asked, slipping into role.
"Since Faith and I are no longer together, we are going to give our relationship another try." She blurted out.
Faith jumped up from the table in mock anger, and the table broke out in total chaos. Just like the trio expected. Willow being the voice of reason calmed everyone down.
"Come on his soul is bound; they are like the Romeo and Juliet of our time. Besides I was tired of her pretending to be happy with Faith when all the long she was pining after Angel." She told the table.
"How could you do this Buffy? Faith loved you, and this is what you do? I bet you were in on the whole kidnapping thing." Xander was pissed off at this.
Cordelia sat there speechless; there was no way in hell that they were to be together. She tried her best to hide the emotions playing on her face.
"Listen Xander, I don't give a flying fuck what you think! I love him and that's all that matters, if you can't accept that then get the hell out of my house, and my life. I'm tired of you being so damn judgmental, it's my life not yours and if you can't deal then you and I could no longer be friends." She told him in a cold tone.
Faith and Joyce were in the kitchen laughing at this. They had to hand it to the girl, she can act her ass. Giles tried not to laugh out loud, he's heard her rant and yell, but never like this. Willow just sat there indifferent, she didn't know what to do, it was all confusing.
"You should be with whoever makes you happy." Cordelia said softly. "You know what I'm just gonna go, I have to study for a test. Buffy I will see you Saturday. I'm glad you're back." Cordelia got up and walked out of the kitchen, Xander tried to follow, but she told him she needed to be alone.
Xander looked back at the Summers house and left, he couldn't deal right now. He was still trying to figure out why Buffy went back to Angel. Anyone was better than Angel. What really got him was the change in Cordelia's behavior. Something was going on with her, but he didn't know what.
Back in the Summers house there was a round of laughter. Joyce and Giles were in the living room with the girls. Buffy was propped on Faith's lap, and Willow and Oz were on the couch. Oz was a little confused as to what happened, but his girlfriend filled him in.
"Buffy, you were on. I believed everything, if I wasn't in on this then I would definitely had believed you." Faith told the blonde.
"I didn't expect Xander to explode like that. I mean I know he wasn't Angel's biggest fan, and Lord knows I'm not." Giles added.
"There is some residual jealousy where Buffy is concerned. She blew off Xander for Angel and that hurt him. He always went for the unattainable, Buffy was or is unattainable. Basically he's pissed, because Angel got there first." Willow explained.
Giles stood up, "It was a lovely evening, but I'm going to retire. Buffy, Faith I expect to see you tomorrow for training after classes." He looked at them sternly.
"We'll be there G-man." Faith replied.
"Right, please don't ever call me that again." He put his glasses back on. Joyce got up as well, "I'm going to walk Mr. Giles to the door, behave." She warned.
"So what are we doing tomorrow?" Willow asked.
"We are going to meet at our usual. Then we will go from there, Willow good job, Faith you too for a minute I thought you were really pissed off." She whispered the rest in her ear.
"B, you are nasty, let's go." Faith pushed her off of her lap. Willow and Oz stood up and bolted out the door, but they said good night to Joyce first.
"Mom, it doesn't take five minutes to walk someone to the door." Buffy teased.
Joyce blushed a deep shade of red, "We were just talking, nothing more. Now you have school tomorrow, off to the dorm with you." She practically shooed them out the door, "Don't forget dinner tomorrow night." She reminded them.
Buffy and Faith left the house, and began to patrol. Just because there hasn't been a lot of vamp activity, it doesn't mean that they should be slackers. The two joined hands and began their trek through Sunny Rest.
"Man B, I thought that you really dissed me for dead boy." Faith told her.
"Faithy, I wouldn't do that. You keep me plenty satisfied; besides meat is so not my thing. I like vegetables, much more healthier." Buffy replied.
A vampire jumped out at them, but Faith wasted no time dusting him. Sunny Rest was a bust so they decided to patrol the area near the Bronze.
"Anniversary on Friday, what's the sitch?" Buffy asked her partner.
"I'll never tell, after your last class, you're mine. Don't bother wearing any panties, you won't be needing them." Faith told her seductively.
"Like I wear them anyway." Buffy replied.
There was no activity around the Bronze, so the girls decided to go cut loose. The music was just what they were used to. Faith pulled Buffy out on the dance floor and 'Dirrty' by Christina Aguilera blared through the speakers. The slayers proceeded to do just that, they would've done Christina proud. Once the song was over, Buffy led Faith over to the bar, they ordered a couple of drinks, not that many because of school and all. Once the drinks were had, they headed towards the UCS campus. Out of the corner of their eye they saw Xander and Cordelia. They broke apart completely and started arguing for arguments sake.
"I told you Faith, I love him. You were just a passing thing for me, you couldn't expect me to really stay with you." She said in mock anger.
"Fuck this B, you love me and I know you do. You're just running to Angel because you're scared of what a real woman can do for you." Faith blurted out.
Xander and Cordelia made their way over to the arguing couple. They were completely ignored.
"We can still be roommates and maybe even friends, but lovers no more." Buffy told the brunette.
"I don't give a fuck anymore. I will find someone else to get off with, Cordelia seems like a good fuck. Maybe if Xander is in to sharing, he will let me take her out for a spin." Faith smirked.
"Argue much? First of all I don't swing that way, besides..." She looked Faith up and down and smirked, "You are not my type anyways, if I did go like that." She recoiled.
Xander just watched the whole thing, mouth gaping like a fish. He didn't know what to say. Buffy saw what Faith said as her opening.
"I don't know Cordelia, that's not what I heard. You do it mighty well." Buffy said saucily.
The brunette sent Buffy a death glare. Buffy just rolled her eyes, "What's the matter Cor, truth hurts. I'll see you Saturday, lover." Buffy gave her a wink and walked away.
Xander finally found his voice, there was something underlying between all three of the girls. He didn't know what it was, and really didn't want to deal with it. He's been screwing Willow behind Oz and Cordelia's back, but she just couldn't give the red head up.
"What the hell was that? And what did Buffy mean by that's not what she heard. Is there something you need to tell me?" He asked her and accusatory tone in his voice.
Faith knew the damage was done and decided to leave. She really didn't want to hear them argue. All she wanted was to lie down next to her girl, and maybe get a little play on.
"See ya." Faith bolted out of the quad, a huge smile playing on her face.
"What did Buffy mean? Is there something you want to tell me?" xander questioned.
Cordelia gave him a look like a deer caught in head lights, "Me, Cordelia Chase liking girls? That would be the day; Buffy just probably heard something from last year." She shrugged her shoulders. "Walk me to my dorm." She told him.
Xander grabbed hold of her hand and walked to Stevenson where she shared a room with Willow.
Faith came breezing into the room to find Buffy already showered and changed. She was on the bed reading her Psychology book. Her girl wastes no time. She kicked off her boots and crawled up near her lover.
"How did it go?" The blonde asked.
"B, you are the baddest. Let's just say that you put Queen C on the spot." She gave her girlfriend a dimpled smile.
They began kissing Buffy closed her book, and strangely psychology was long forgotten.
A/N: I will update again before the week is over, I'll make that one a whole lot better, because we'll have Angel thrown in the mix.
Naweoh- Be patient all will be revealed in time. Don't worry it will all unfold before the ending. But the question is, can Buffy and Faith's relationship handle it?
General Mac- What am I going to do with you? There will be one more chapter after this, before I go on vacation next week, or if you're extra nice, I might throw in a bonus chapter.
Crazy-Kiki-19- Ah my darling child, it just makes it better when you go back and re-read the previous chapters and then read the newest one, it works for me that way.
