Title: Immortal Miracles

Author: Kristin Hulett Warning: Probably none, unless some of you haven't seen Buffy season 4 and Angel season 1, since the story is set shortly after those two seasons.

Summary: Buffy and the Scooby Gang find out about the prophecy about Angel turning human (the Shanshu prophecy). Then they get some strange dreams and prophecies of their own.

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters on Buffy and Angel. I am only a lowly fan who liked the Angel/Buffy relationship and has my own ideas about the prophecy Wesley found. The only characters that are possibly mine are the members of the Council of Miracles (and Megan, in the epilogue). Meaning, don't sue me because what would you expect to get out of a 23-year-old without a job, driver's license, or anything that could possibly mean my family's rich. All you would get would be a lot of junk and a possibly psycho golden retriever.

Author's note: Any dialogue that is between and is either thoughts, dreams or something that happened before the action in the story.

Part Three

That afternoon, Buffy calls Riley at his dorm room in Lowell House.

"Come on. Come on. Pick up."

"Hello?"

"Hi, Riley? It's Buffy."

"Oh, hi. What do you need?"

"Nothing. I just felt like calling."

"We're still on for tonight, right?"

"Oh. Yeah. We're still on."

"OK. I'll pick you up around 7:00."

"What are we going to do?"

"It's a surprise."

"OK. I guess I'd better say bye, so I can get stuff done before 7."

"Bye."

Riley is going to add the requisite "I love you" after that, but Buffy has already hung up.

"Oh well. Maybe there is some new demon that showed up last night, so she's distracted because she needs more information about it."

Meanwhile, in LA, Cordelia is watching while Wesley is getting the third degree in her living room.

"OK. Why did you call Giles?" Angel asks, sounding irritated at having to keep asking the same question over again and trying not to show it.

"Uhhh . . . I called to tell them about the prophecy."

"Why?" Angel is barely containing his feelings after this information is brought to light. Cordy begins to look scared for either Wesley and herself, or just her apartment.

Wesley sits there, looking like he is desperately trying to find an answer. He finally speaks. "I really don't know."

Cordy speaks up. "You are even sounding lame to me. You do something and then can't even think of a good excuse? God, what is wrong with you?"

Both men have stopped talking and are now staring at her in surprise after her tirade. She starts getting embarrassed.

"OK. That didn't help anybody, did it? But I still can't figure out this freak." During this statement, she is pointing at Wesley.

"Cordelia, I can handle this," Angel replies. He knows how to handle her opinions due to the fact he has had to deal with her working for him for a year. "OK, Wesley, let's try this again."

"I'm serious. I don't know why I had to tell them. It's like something possessed me and made me pick up the phone and dial."

Cordelia pipes up, again. "Now that's a demon I think would be useful. The demon who makes you call people." The scary part is that she is serious.

Angel responds to her statement. "Cordy, shut up." He looks thoughtful. "Maybe I should go see the Oracles."

Cordy cautiously replies, "Um, Angel? Didn't you tell us a while ago that that demon hired by Wolfram and Hart to attack us killed the Oracles?"

Angel answers the question. "He wasn't hired, he was raised, and yes, he did. But there has to be more than just two Oracles."

With that statement, Angel grabs his black duster and leaves.
