CHAPTER 1

After a long day of training with Giles while Willow, Xander and Anya were looking for some info about a new demon Buffy and her friends were walking towards their respective house. They wanted to get changed before going to the Bronze and try to relax and have some fun.

It had been months since Angel left. Buffy was still sad thinking about it. A part of her was gone and she knew she could never forget. She loved him like no one else. He was a part of her, he was hers ! She wanted him, she needed him ! She'd give anything to have him back or just to see him one last time.

Xander and Anya were dating and everything seemed to work well for them so far. They started seeing each other a few months ago. Maybe that's why Willow finally got interested into girls, nobody could tell. After loving Xander for so long, since they were kids, once she saw she could never get him she had to open her eyes on other people.

Like always Willow, Xander and Anya were talking together and Buffy wasn't listening to a single word they were saying as she was thinking about the love of her life, Angel.

"Eh Willow, did you find someone you were interested in recently ?" Xander asked her with a huge smile.

"I don't know, why ?" she asked wondering why her friend would ask that kind of things all of a sudden.

"Don't know, I'm just curious, you know me, and you're my friend… So you sure you have nothing to tell me ? No girl you'd like to be closer to ?" Xander couldn't leave Willow alone about this.

"You're weird tonight, what's up ?" Willow asked Xander frowning.

"Willow we're talking about Xander, he's always weird" Anya said to get in the conversation.

"I know" Willow simply answered.

"Eh girls just in case you didn't notice I'm right here" Xander said a bit annoyed, "So Willow ?"

"So what ?" she said.

"C'mon, Willow, girls, date, am I clear enough ? It's been a while since we really talked you know" He said trying to get the words out of her mouth.

"Xander we talk everyday" She said, "So what are you going to wear tonight Anya ?" she asked trying to change subject.

"I don't know yet, something nice" Anya answered while Xander stopped walking.

"Soooo ?" he said, "Willow I won't leave till you told me if there was anyone you were interested in"

"Umm did anyone tell you anything ?" she asked.

"Of course not you know I'm just curious about you and your life and I mean ALL of your life, everything" he said lying.

"Xander, we've been friends for a very long time and you've never been able to lie so just tell me what you've been told and by who ?" Willow said now also curious to know.

"Ok", Xander said caught in his lies, "Buffy told me that there was a girl, umm Tara I think, you were seeing sometimes to practice some magic".

Willow couldn't believe it. Buffy had just been telling her secrets to Xander. Well, maybe she forgot to tell Buffy it was a secret and she couldn't share it, she couldn't remember herself.

"Buffy !" Willow said quite annoyed.

She didn't answer, she didn't even look at her or any of them. She was looking somewhere else, starring at something, even though it was quite dark outside in the night.

She saw someone, someone kinda starring at her too, mostly a shadow. She wasn't sure but it looked like Angel…
