Buffy and Faith made their way down stairs, the blonde was in a much better mood than she was before. All thoughts of Angel, and her little indescretion with Cordelia were a second thought, but she was still feeling guilty about the kiss. She was debating if she should tell her girlfriend or not. If she told her things between them can be lost forever, but if she didn't tell her it could destroy their relationship. Either way it was a lose/lose situation. She pushed that thought to the deep recesses of her mind and entered the kitchen after her girlfriend.

Joyce looked up from the stove and saw the two girls enter. Buffy had a smile on her face, something she hasn't seen at all. The elder Summers smiled at both girls and turned back to the stove.

"Wow mom, what smells good?" Buffy asked her mother.

"I'm making this recipe that Rupert gave me, Chicken Teriyaki I believe. He said that it was your favorite." She continued cooking.

"Oh yeah, we love it. B went for three plates of it." Faith added.

Buffy pushed the brunette lightly, "Oh like you're one to talk. Who went back for fourths and fifths." She said playfully.

"Keep it up missy, you are just asking for it." Faith whispered in the other girls ear.

Buffy rolled her eyes, "What are you going to do? Scold me or spank me." She said sweetly.

"A little bit of both." She gave her a wicked grin.

The girls broke apart when Joyce turned around, "Okay girls dinner is ready go set the table. Rupert will be over here in a few minutes, we are having a family dinner." She told the two slayers.

Buffy went to the cabinet and got the plates, while Faith got the glasses, and Joyce got the forks. In the process of setting the table the doorbell rung, Joyce set the silverware on the table and went to answer it.

"Cordelia, what are you doing here?" She asked the brunette standing in her door. Behind her she could see Giles coming up the walkway.

Buffy visibly stiffened when she heard her mother mention Cordelia's name. Faith saw this and made a mental note to ask about that later. Her insecurities were showing their ugly heads again. The two girls continued setting the table, Buffy just hoped that her mother sent the girl away. She didn't need anything to come in between her and Faith.

"I wanted to see Buffy you know to make sure she was okay." The brunette replied.

Giles made his way to the door; he greeted Cordelia with a hello. Surprising Joyce and Cordelia he kissed the elder Summers on the lips. "I missed you, have the girls arrived yet?" He asked.

"Rupert go on in, Buffy isn't feeling up to eating or company right now. Faith said she didn't want to bother, something about studying or whatever." She stressed to the watcher.

Giles finally caught on to what she was implying, "It's just the tow of us then." He walked into the house and in the kitchen.

"I'm sorry Cordelia, but Buffy isn't up to visitors right now. She's in a little bit of a depression mode. With Angel dead and Oz leaving she's been through a lot. Why don't you come by on Saturday I'm pretty sure she will be up to company then?" She told the girl.

Cordelia put on her best fake smile to mask her disappointment, "Thank you Mrs. Summers. Tell Buffy I will talk to her later." With that said, Cordelia made her way down the walkway to her car.

The brunette was seething inside she could see right through Joyce's story. Something was going on she wanted to find out what it was. She started the car and drove off, she had questions and now she wanted answers.

Giles entered the house and saw that Faith and Buffy had already set and put the food on the table. He gave the girls a warm smile, which they returned, but Buffy's didn't reach her eyes like it used to.

"Hello, girls." He addressed the tow slayers.

"Hi Giles. What brings you to dinner?" The blonde asked her Watcher.

"Well, your mother asked me over for a family dinner. It would have been unruly if I didn't show." He blushed.

"Don't worry about B, she's just giving you a hard time." Faith told him.

Joyce finally entered the dining room, "That was Cordelia; I had to make up an excuse. I don't know if she bought it or not, but she's gone now." She said in parting as she walked into the kitchen.

Buffy, Giles, and Faith took a seat at the table. The two slayers sat across from each other, while Giles sat at one end of the table. Joyce entered the room carrying a bottle of wine and a bottle of Sprite for the girls. Buffy pouted a little, her mother just smiled at her.

"That's not going to work Buffy." She told her daughter.

"Mom, you always let me have wine with dinner sometimes." She told her mother.

"Not tonight, after dinner you and Faith are going to patrol. Then you two are going back to your dorm." She replied.

Faith gave Buffy a smirk and she just stuck out her tongue. "Real mature B." Faith told the blonde.

"You know what F? Bite me." She said sweetly.

The slayer was about to make a comeback until she saw Giles and Joyce's facial expressions.

"Now if the two children are done playing let's eat." Giles finally spoke up

The food was passed out and everyone began to eat, no words were said. Everyone was enjoying the food. The silence was deafening so Joyce decided to break it.

"Your anniversary is tomorrow. What's the plan?" She asked the two slayers. Even though she already knew.

"I'm just going to wine and dine my girl. The romantic stuff she loves so much." Faith answered.

Joyce just smiled, now was the time to let her daughter know that she and Rupert were going out of town for the week-end. She hopes that Buffy wouldn't have too big of a conniption about it.

"Buffy, Rupert and I are going out of town this week-end. How do you feel about that?" She asked her daughter.

Buffy stopped eating and gave her mother a dear caught in headlights look. She was not expecting this at all.

"It's okay, where are you going?" She asked a little surprised.

"We are going to Napa Valley. They have a wine tasting event, and I have been dying to go. Besides you and Faith will be wrapped up in each other." She replied.

Faith had a big grin on her face, even though she already knew that Joyce and Giles were going out of town. Joyce had told her the other day, when she called and let her know what she was planning for Buffy.

"Oh hells yeah! No patrol." Faith blurted out.

"Not so fast, you are to take a quick patrol tomorrow Buffy, and you both have patrol Saturday and Sunday. I expect a detailed report when I get back." He told the girls.

"A detailed report, I don't think so. I'm going to be busy." Buffy replied.

"I was just kidding Buffy. I don't want you writing anything, enjoy your anniversary, you and Faith deserve it. Is Angel in town?" Giles asked.

Buffy's face fell and got up from the table all that could be heard was the running up the stairs and the slamming of the doors. Faith got up and went behind her; Joyce looked sympathetically as her daughter left.

"Is there something wrong?" Rupert asked.

"Angel is dead; well I should say un-dead again. Buffy went to his mansion and found his ashes and his Claddagh Ring on the couch. She's been a wreck ever since, this is the first time I actually seen her smile today. She came home this morning eyes red and puffy, she explained and went upstairs and locked herself in the room. The only person who came by was Oz. He let her know that he was leaving Sunnydale." She explained to him.

"Someone dusted Angel? Do they know who did it? And did you just say that Oz left Sunnydale?" He questioned confusion in his voice.

"Yeah, a lot went 'down' as Buffy would say, between Willow, Oz, Xander and Cordelia. From what I was able to understand Willow and Xander were seeing each other behind Oz's and Cordelia's back. Oz and Cordelia found out, there was a whole fall out and Xander found out about Buffy and Cordelia in high school. Oz is leaving because Willow was the only reason he was staying here. No one knows who staked Angel; right now I don't think that matters. My little girl is hurting and there is nothing anyone can do about it." She finished her explanation.

Giles took off his glasses and began to clean them, something he was used to doing. Buffy always said that he was going to break a lens from cleaning them so much.

"I'm sure they will find out who did it. Faith will be able to hurt her through it, give it time. Buffy and Cordelia had a thing in high school? I didn't know that." He put his glasses back on.

Joyce took another sip of wine, "Apparently it was a secret and no one knew or so they thought." She replied with a smile. "It ended when she realized that she had a thing for Faith." She finished up.

"Amazing, they kept it under wraps that long. I guess Cordelia is capable of keeping a secret." He replied.

They continued eating and making small talk, they had enough of 'Passions Hellmouth style'.

Faith walked into Buffy's room without knocking and found Buffy crying into Mr. Gordo. She closed the door behind her, and crept up behind her and slid on the bed. Buffy sensed this and turned to her, and began sobbing on her chest.

"Will it ever get better?" She asked tearily.

"Truth?" Faith asked.

Buffy shook her head no, "Lie to me." She responded.

Faith wrapped her arms around the smaller girl in her arms and began to slowly rock her.

"The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after." She replied.

Buffy started laughing at first she thought the girl was crying, "B? What's wrong?" She asked in concern.

"I'm laughing; Giles said the same thing to me a little while back." She told her girlfriend

"It just popped into my head. Did it make you feel better?" She asked.

"A little, it'll take time but it will be better because I have you by my side." She kissed Faith on the cheek.

A kiss on the cheek somehow turned into an overly heated make out session. They were too wrapped up in each other that they didn't hear the knock at the door.

Xander walked into the room and saw a little bit of Buffy's skin and he was gone. His ultimate fantasy coming to life, Buffy and Faith going at it, sadly the honey was missing along with the body paint and whipped cream.

"Buff, as much as I like the show I really wanted to talk to you." Xander finally found his voice.

Buffy and Faith broke apart and looked at the boy standing there. They fixed their clothes and sat up.

"Xander what are you doing here?" She asked trying to put her hair in place.

"I wanted to talk to you, but I'll come back." He turned and walked out of the door.

"X-man come talk to B, I need to get another plate of food. I need to stop Mrs. S and G-man from getting their naughty on." She told the room.

"Did anyone just go to a scary visual place?" Buffy asked.

"Oh yeah! And let me just add eww." Xander answered.

Faith walked out the room leaving the two friends to talk. She smiled at the fact that Xander came over to talk to Buffy. She knew first hand how much they meant to each other. The girl walked down the stairs and into the kitchen.

"So what do you want to talk about?" The slayer asked.

Xander sat down on the bed, "I want to talk about us and our friendship. I want to apologize for the way I went off on you. I was upset and it hurt me a lot that my best friend would do that to me. I realized that I was doing the same thing to Oz that you and Cordy was doing to me. It just hurt a lot Buff, that you of all people would do that. I just want to know why it happened." He told her.

It was Buffy's turn to sigh, "As you know Cordelia had been crushing on me since I came to Sunnydale High. I dropped her and started hanging out with you and Willow, there in lies the drama. She cast me off and did her thing, she started dating you and we came to tolerate one another. In the process I was developing feelings for her, as she was me. Especially after the homecoming fiasco, we decided to act on how we felt. It was wrong I know, but it felt so right, at that moment anyway. It went on for most of senior year, but came to an end once I discovered my feelings for Faith. As to why it happened? I guess it was because I was lonely, sending Angel to hell and dealing with the fall out of him coming back. She was the only one who didn't reprimand me or treat me badly because of it." She finished up her tale. She conveniently left out the parts with Angel, no one needed to know that.

Understanding finally dawned on Xander's face they did treat Buffy rather badly. Giles and Cordelia were the only ones who didn't treat her like a social leper.

"I'm sorry about that also; you know how I felt about Angel. By the way I'm sorry to hear that he is un-dead again. Faith told me this afternoon in the cafe, if you're up for it on Sunday can you and I have a best friends day?" He asked.

Buffy gave him a dazzling smile, "You don't even have to ask. A best friend's day is just what we need. Maybe we can even call Willow, I know she might be heart broken over Oz leaving like he did." She replied.

Xander broke the hug, "As much as I would like that, I just want it to be you and me. As far as Willow goes she's not as heartbroken as you think she is. I saw her in the cafe walking hand and hand with a blonde girl, the looked all couple-y." He told her.

Realization finally dawned on Buffy, "Willow plays for the home team now?" she exclaimed.

"Oh yeah, in a major way. So are we cool?" He asked hopefully.

Buffy smiled again, "We're cool." She gave him another hug.
