He stalked towards us, a wicked grin on his face; grin that only a cold-blooded killer who enjoyed taking the lives of innocent people could have.

Hurriedly, I picked up one of the broken shards of the wooden sign. I didn't know if it would work or not, but it was better than being unarmed.

"I think not." I said, raising my impromptu stake.

Spike laughed. "You think you can stop me, little girl?"

"Maybe not, but I can." We both turned to see none other than Angel.

"Oh look at that!" The blonde vampire said, leering at him, "all soul having again are we?" Spike sneered, having sensed it right away.

Angel just growled and tackled Spike. The fight only lasted a few moments before Spike was knocked unconscious by Angel hitting him with the post for the sign.

"Run! Get out of here!" he shouted at us.

"Thanks, Angel!" I shouted back as we piled into the van.

Angel started as he realized I had known his name.

"Wait!" he shouted before I could close the door. "How did you know my name?"

"Uh..." I had no answer for that he would believe.

I sighed. "Angel, if I told you, I doubt you would believe me."

"We are on the Hellmouth," He said grimly, "There is a good chance I will."

I nodded. "Well, you see, my sister and I used to watch a show called Buffy the Vampire Slayer and there was a character called Angel in it that apparently you happen to be."

Angel just stared at me. "See, I told you you'd think I was nuts."

"I think I had better take you to Buffy. Maybe we can figure out what it is making you think this way."

"What about my family?" I asked, gesturing at them.

"Come on, all of you! I'll take you to Buffy. She'll be able to help us figure this out." Angel spared the unconscious Spike a glance. "And let's hurry before he wakes up."

We all nodded and high tailed it out of there.

"So this is really real?" Sarah asked me while we ran. "I guess so." I said.

My mom and dad walked up to Angel. "This isn't some charade is it? Are you doing this for a tourist attraction?" My dad asked.

"If so, then you are all doing a good job." My mom said, looking around.

Angel sighed. "No, this is real." He steered us downtown until we hit Revello Drive.

"Let's just find, Buffy okay? Then we can sort everything out."

"If I remember correctly, Buffy would be with Giles right now." I said out loud, without thinking.

"How did-"

"It has to do with the episodes of the show. In this instance; we seem to be on 'Lover's Walk.' That's the episode where Spike returns to Sunnydale after the whole Acathla thing."

"Are you in any way insane or drunk?" Angel asked, clearly thinking I had lost some marbles.

"No, I'm not." I said, narrowing my eyes at him. "Just you wait, we'll find her at Giles's house and you can eat your words, you Nancy boy." I said, unable to resist using one of Spike's insults for him even though he'd scared the crap out of us.

It was Angel's turn to get the same look I gave him. I only smiled.

I gave him a rundown of the episode anyway. "Then Spike leaves Sunnydale once again."

"Nice to know there is a happy ending." Angel said as we finally reached Buffy's house.

I watched as Angel climbed up into the tree next to the house. "Uh, Angel, we all can't climb up there."

"You don't have to; I'll get Buffy to let you in."

I nodded. Angel tapped Buffy's bedroom window.

It opened a moment later. "Hi." Buffy said softly.

"Hi. I have some people with me who need your help. Can you come down and let them in?"

Buffy Summers herself looked down at us. "Sure."

A moment later, Angel climbed down and Buffy opened the front door. We all headed inside.

"Buffy, who are these...?" Joyce stopped short when she saw Angel standing there.

"It's okay, mom. Angel's good now. He's got his soul back."

"Alright, now explain what's going on." Joyce said, looking pointedly at Buffy.

It was Angel who actually answered her, explaining how he had run into us and up until we got here.

I explained how we got to Sunnydale and up to where we met Angel so the story was complete.

"But what about this soul Angel supposedly has? What's going on with that, Buffy?"

Buffy was clearly uncomfortable explaining this part, so I jumped and did it for her.

"You see, after you saw Angel last would have been when he confronted you at your home. But, I'll start with a little back story first. Angel was cursed by gypsies after he killed one of their most beloved members, a young girl. Thus, they gave him a soul. Along with that, he would suffer emotionally because of all the stuff he'd done as a soulless vampire. That's why he broods all the time. For a hundred years, he was reclusive then turned up in Sunnydale."

Buffy looked at me, completely mystified. "Wow!"

Joyce, who was still entranced by the story, asked me to continue.

I blushed, looking at Angel who was just as surprised as Buffy was. After all, how often did a total stranger know the intimate details of your life?

"From there, the whole Buffy and Angel romance happened." I looked pointedly at Buffy. "Those details are private."

She smiled in thanks at my showing respect for her.

"Anyway, because of Angel receiving a moment of true happiness, he lost his soul and went all postal and evil. Thankfully, Jenny Calendar had a copy of the spell to give Angel his soul back which Buffy and her friends found and used on him. You know the rest."

Joyce and Buffy nodded, remembering her leaving for LA and her return and all that came in between.

"We have to tell Giles about this." Buffy said.

"That is just what I was thinking." I said. "we should also mention the fact that Spike is back in town." I had forgotten that part of the story, foolishly since we got distracted by the Angel issues.

Buffy's eyes went wide at that. "Spike is back?" her voice was full of venom and hatred. Of course, at this point it should be after all he had done so far.

"Yes

"Well, I-it was nice meeting you all." Joyce said and shook hands with my parents.

And with that, we left for the school library, only this time we had Buffy with us.

"So, do you know anything about my future?" Buffy asked.

"Uh, yeah, I suppose I do."

"Could you tell me something? Well, not super important, but something small?"

So I decided to tell Buffy her S.A.T. (Student Aptitude Test) score, which was 1430.

"Wow! That's just too awesome for words!"

I grinned. "Yeah, I bet. Did you know that we don't have to do those back in Canada, where my folks and I travelled here from."

"That is so not fair!" She said, and pouted.

I laughed. "Well, the countries have to differ somehow."

We arrived at Giles's house a sort time later. We all introduced ourselves and sat down on the couch and the chairs around it. We all took turns explaining what happened to bring us here.

After strenuous sessions of cleaning his glasses, Giles was able to finally speak after I explained for the umpteenth time.

"This is incredible." He said, "But, we must be careful. For instance, we don't know if her telling us anything of the future, for example, will alter it beyond repair. After all, being on the Hellmouth, it would most likely be for the worse."

I bit my lip, remembering that I'd told Angel the whole story. Crap! I thought. Now things might go askew for poor Buffy. I mentally kicked myself.

"Uh, I kind of told Angel what was going to happen with Spike this time around in Sunnydale while we were heading to your house, Buffy."

"You did what?" Giles exclaimed, removing his glasses in shock.

"I'm sorry. I didn't even think." I felt like a heel.

"It's okay. You didn't know that anything could happen." Buffy said, comforting me.

Giles sighed. "Well, let's not court more trouble than we already have."

We all agreed on that. I would keep tight-lipped about any more future happenings.

"Also, we must deal with Spike's return." Giles added.

Buffy frowned. "Yes. I'll patrol and see if I can track him down."

And with that, she left Giles's to go in search of the blonde Vampire with Angel in tow.
