Buffy smiled as she was at the bronze. Her hips swayed as a warm body pressed against her back. Her eyes closed as she swayed to the beat of the music. Every move and every motion was sending her into lust mode. Every time she pressed her back harder against him, she felt his erection pressed harder into her. She then turned around and smiled as he looked at her with those dark brown eyes. She smiles and wraps her arms around his neck and place a small kiss on his lips. "I missed you." Buffy said.

At a nearby table Oz, Willow, Cordelia and Xander watch them dance. Their faces are devoid of any expression.

Buffy smiles as they keep on dancing. She moves her left hand down Angel's arm to take his hand. Although his ring suddenly falls before she can catch it as it drops on the floor.

Buffy's stops to reach for it as Angel reaches down and picks it up before her. He looks at the ring and then back at her coldly. "Why?" He backs away from her and squeezes the ring until his fingers bleeds. I loved you and you…killed me?

Buffy looks at him sadly. "I'm sorry…..So sorry…..I had no other choice." She looks back up and watches as a sudden blood spot appears on his shirt. It grows quickly and soaks the front of his shirt.

"Oh, God! Angel... I'm so sorry." She cried.

"I HATE YOU." He screams." I WISH YOU WERE DEAD."

Buffy takes a step back surprised. Tears fall down her cheek as she stares at him.

"Oh that's right….I 'm already dead…maybe I'll make you like me."

When she looks back up, she screams as she suddenly sees his vamp face. Angelus then lunges at her and forces his fangs in her neck.

Buffy jerked awake and almost jumps off the bed when she realized it was just a dream. She flopped back on the bed wondering if she should open her eyes again. She would rather lay here so she won't have to face reality. Especially the dream she had surrounded her with a sick feeling in her stomach. It made her think of what this dream or premonition was. Was it another drenching Angel and Buffy moment or would this finally be her real death, the death that she would never wake up from? Then not to mention it's been five days since Angel came back to her and five days that she tried to….Kill herself. Gosh that sounded so bad when she thought about it. Was she actually to that point?

She could still remember that day. When the medical team came and revived her. She had awoken panicking as her mom stared at the fading scars on her wrist. The medical team wanted to take her to the hospital or to an institution. All kinds of awful thoughts came to her mind then. She cried and prayed that her mom told them to not take her away. She had something to live for now. Angel was here well not physically, but he could be back fully as a human. He told her it was a test that the oracles had made. The only problem she was having a hard time keeping her hopes up and praying that very soon that this stupid test or whatever it was over.

In addition, not to mention she was in the hospital for two days. They had to give her a blood transfusion. They said she was lucky to be alive and prescribed it as a miracle. She sighed knowing if it wasn't for her slayer healing, she would probably be dead. Other than that her mom had a hard time explaining to the doctors that the cut on her wrist was just an accident. They didn't believe her at first until their files were suddenly missing. She had to thank Angel for that and thank her mom for not sending her to the crazy house.

Suddenly, she was dazed out of her memories as she felt a pair of hands on her face. It was light but she could still feel the touch of cold flesh against her cheek. She still didn't' understand how he could touch her. He was dead technically and now was a ghost. Ghosts were not able to feel or touch anything. At least that's what she thought.

She opens her eyes and looked to her side as she seen Angel staring at her. It was still odd seeing him like this. His whole appearance was translucent. She could see him but it was like he was transparent. At least he didn't have to worry about opening up doors anymore. He could walk right threw wall and doors now.

"Bad dream?" Angel asked.

"Ah….ya bad dream." Buffy muttered.

Angel looked at her and noticed she was shaken up about the dream. He wondered if it was about him or something else. "Do you want to talk about it?"

"No, I would rather lie here and stay with you all day." Buffy said slightly touching his face feeling the coldness but not the texture of his face. Every time she smoothed her hand across his face, her hand just went right threw. Then her mind went to the dream and what she did to Angel. She still couldn't understand why he wasn't mad at her. She killed him and he wasn't even mad at her. If she was him she probably would be.

Angel smiled. "You have to go to school, Buffy."

Buffy sighed and rolled her eyes. "But I don't want to."

"How about if I went with you?" Angel said knowing he would go with her any ways. He didn't want to leave her out of his site from what happen a few days ago.

Buffy smiled. "Fine…..Fine. My friends want to see me any ways and it's my first day back at school."

Angel smiled and touched her face. "So…your do fine Buffy. Your friends miss you and Giles misses you."

"I know but….How about if they're mad at me or if my mom and friends decide to send me away." Buffy replied.

Angel stopped her with a kiss. "Buffy that will never happen, they care about you, and I would never let them take you away Buffy…never"

Buffy smiled and looked up to see that glare in his eyes that she knew he wasn't lying to her. She knows he would do it in a minute if he had too. Her eyes lay on the closet as she decided to get ready for school. Either way it would only be a matter of time before her mom came in order to check up on her.

Streaks of light beat pulled through the blinds as Buffy closed her eyes irritated. Frustrated she shut the book and stared at Willow, who was evolved in her history book a little too much. She looked over to see Xander munching down a candy bar while Giles had his eyes stuck to a book he was reading. She looked closely and noticed it was the watcher's diary. She rolled her eyes wondering why he was reading that book again. Was something coming up that she didn't know about or was it another big bad she had to fight? She then watched him opened the watchers' diary as he flipped it to a page about a certain vampire "Spike." Gosh she hated that blonde ignoring peroxide vampire. If she ever seen that bastard again she would stake him. Not to mention if she did see him, she would beat him until he gave her the scroll that he stole from her a couple of months ago. That was mostly the only thing that was bugging her because if he did what the scroll said and brought back Drakon the world would be doomed once again. She suddenly jerked as something cold touched her shoulder making her jump. "Ang…" She stopped suddenly saying his name as her friends looked up with curiously.

"Sorry….love Angel smiled sheeply at her.

Buffy gave him that look that she will have a talk with him about scaring her more than usual. As of right now she had to think of an excuse of why she said Angel's name. "Ah…..sorry, must have dozed off."

Her friends looked at her with worry and before Xander could open his mouth to say something, Buffy opened her mouth to speak. "So Giles is there some new big evil coming?"

"Ah…dear lord no. What made you think that?" Giles said,

"Ah the watchers' diary?" Buffy replied pointing to the book that lay on the desk.

"Ah …..No." Giles said trying to keep a straight face, but he could tell Willow was having a hard time keeping it from her. Damn it.

Buffy looked at Willow, who was fidgeting with her pencil, Xander was tapping his leg while Giles was clearing his throat. From knowing that she knew they were nervous about something. "Ok spill guys, I know your hiding something."

"What makes you think we're hiding something?" Xander asked still taping his leg. "Ya w-what makes you think we have anything to hide?" Willow replied nervously.

"Not that hard to figure out." Angel mused. Buffy glared at him then back at her friends giggling. Well, for one someone likes to tap a lot when their nervous. Buffy said pointing a figure to Xander. "And you blush and fettle with stuff." Buffy said pointing to Willow. She then looked at Giles and then smirked noticing the glare.

"Hay I don't tap…see no tapping." Xander replied holding his hands up.

"What stuff? I don't fettle with stuff." Willow replied placing the pencil she had in her hands down.

Angel looked around and smirked as Buffy giggled once again. It has been a long while, since he has seen her smile, and he was glad to see that smile on her face for once.

"Come on guys what's going on?" Buffy replied looking at them then back at Willow, who seemed to finally break.

"Well we didn't tell you because you were always g... gloomy and s...sad, but it wasn't like it was a lie or….But I wanted to tell you but"….

"Tell me what?" Buffy asked getting kind of worried about what they could be hiding from her and kind of mad that her friends were hiding something from her.

"Nice one Willow." Xander replied.

Willow glared at him. "What do you mean "nice one" tapping boy?"

Buffy smirked again. "Guys can we focus?" she asked waving her hands at her friends.

Giles rolled his eyes wondering why he puts up with them. Maybe it's the fact he didn't have no kids and felt like a father to them. He sighed and stared at them as they started arguing again.

"Um could you please quiet down?" He sighed as they did not listen to him." CHILDREN."

They all look at Giles with a new exceptive as they stare at him. Xander smirked and stared at Giles. "Wow Giles I didn't know you could yell."

"Ah apparently. Ah Buffy we were doing a lot of research the past few weeks about….The ritual that Angelus did."

"Oh." Buffy lowered her head and stared at Angel that was sitting beside her. He was lowering his head and had that look that he was about to brood again. She sighed and stared back at her friends wondering if this was a good time to do this or not. She didn't want to make Angel feel any worse than he already did.

"We were researching this because I thought the ritual had somehow affected you to be despondent and to a point, of" He stopped not wanting to say suicidal, so he skipped saying it and went straight to the point. "The last person that undid an unmating ritual had died, and I just wanted to be sure….. so we researched it and found a cure." Giles said.

"A cure." Buffy said. Now it was time for Angel to look up with curiously at them.

"Ah yes…the only problem to complete it, we would need a link." Giles said.

"A link?" Buffy replied.

"Yes, some sort of item or object that showed a link between you and Angel." Giles said.

Buffy sighed as she looked at Angel. Angel slightingly cursed at his demon for doing this to his beloved Buffy. He already knew the consequences of undoing the ritual but if redoing it and linking them together again would save her then so be it. " Give him the ring Buffy." Angel said.

"What?" Buffy looked back at Angel then back at Giles. "Ah…. I mean why you need an object."

"It would link your two together again. A bond even know Angel is not….with us." Giles said as he noticed the sad look on her face." I'm sorry."

Buffy looked up. "No don't be….I'm fine."

Xander cleared his throat and stared at them. "Um just a question g man? I was just thinking wouldn't that make her go you know. Don't you think it's better to not be linked with a…demon?" He then looked at Buffy. "I didn't mean that in a bad way Buff."

Buffy sneered wondering why Xander couldn't shut it for once.

"Because it could kill her." Giles said staring at the arrogant boy.

Xander sighed wondering why everyone else isn't happy that Angel was gone. To him, it was a relieve, he didn't have to see that demon again. He looked up suddenly to see a book flying towards him. He barely dodged it as it flew from nowhere past his head. "Hay who threw that?"

Willow jumped as she has seen the book fly towards Xander. It seemed to come from nowhere. "W...what was that?"

Buffy glared at Angel as he was standing and staring at Xander like he wanted to pummel him. Buffy rolled her eyes and glared at him. She was going to have a little chat with him later, but she couldn't blame him. She wanted to Plummer him sometimes too. Buffy cleared her throat and looked around. "I didn't see anything."

Giles wiped his glasses and looked around again wondering if he was seeing things. "Did that book just…..did anyone seen that?" Giles asked.

"Seen what?" Buffy asked playing dumb founded.

"Ok I think that is enough junk food. I think it's making me see things." Xander said.

"Can we please just get back to what we were discussing?" Buffy said.

Willow sat back down a little shook up wondering if there was a ghost here. She felt like there was another presence here. Maybe it was her imagination. Other than that Buffy was acting strange lately, which made her wonder was she hiding something from her. Maybe she'll have a talk with her later.

Giles looked back at Buffy. "I understand Buffy you're not sure if you want to do this, but I wouldn't do this if I was sure." Giles said.

"I understand Giles. I'll…I'll find something. I'll give it to you soon." Buffy said.

Giles nodded his head and looked around once again noticing nothing was there. Buffy sighed as the school bell rang finally. Another day at boring school. She thought. At least she had Angel to come with her.

That night Buffy did her nightly patrol like she did everyday but the only thing different was she was thirty minutes late to meet her friends at the bronze. And the fact she really didn't care because she was pissed off at Xander for making that comment earlier, and she was slightly mad at Willow and Giles for not telling her sooner about what they were doing. Yes it was wrong for her to be mad at them, since she was also keeping a secret from them but still had a good reason too. One reason was her friends didn't like Angel, and if they knew he was back they would probably criticize her and try to get rid of him. The only person she did trust was Willow, but at times it was hard to trust her or anyone anymore.

"What are you thinking?" Angel asked curiously as he noticed she had that look in her eyes that she wasn't really here but somewhere else."

Angel waved his hand in front of her as she was suddenly knocked down face first. Angel caught her barely as he took the stake from her pocket. He stood up as Buffy was up also eyeing the newly risen vampire in front of her.

"Gosh why don't you guys just stay dead?" Buffy mumbled pulling out her second stake that was in her back pocket. Before she knew it she heard the vampire scream as the stake floated in the air and went right into his heart.

Angel smiled and watched as the vampire turned to dust. "Wow I still got it." He twilled the stake in his hand as he noticed the scowl on Buffy's face. "What?"

"Your loving this invisible thing don't you." Buffy replied noticing that glare in his eyes.

"It has its advantages and disadvantages." Angel replied wishing more than anything he was actually alive…alive. That he could actually touch her, and hold her forever in his arms instead of trying to concentrate in order to touch her. It was so hard at times for him to even pick up an object at times.

Buffy stared at him and took the stake from him and placed it in her pocket. When she looked up, she noticed he was brooding. She didn't think ghost could brood. She giggled at the thought.

Angel stared at her and noticed the giggle. "What's so funny?"

"A brooding ghost…who knew?" she smiled.

Angel smirked and pulled her forward and started tickled her ribs, sending her into a fit of frantic giggles.

"Angel! Oh God! Stop!" she yelped falling to her knees. Angel was laughing with her when he realized she was trying to squirm away from him. He tickled her some more as she laid on the ground. He then noticed he was leaning above her in a position he shouldn't be in. He smirked knowing he really couldn't have that pleasure. Well at least he shouldn't even be thinking about that. It was impossible for a ghost to have sex right. His mind was fluttering with thoughts when Buffy looked at him curiously as she finally stopped laughing.

"What's with the broody look mister?" Buffy said.

"Ah nothing. It's been such a long time, since I have seen you…..smile."

"Ah ya. I'm back to be chirpy slayer Buffy again." she said.

Angel smiled and then looked to his right as he has suddenly seen Willow standing there. She was staring at Buffy somewhat oddly and strange. "Damn."

Buffy looked to her right and smiled at Willow, who was looking at her oddly. Great what was she going to do now? "Ah Willow how long were you standing there for?" Buffy quickly stood up as Angel stared at her wondering what excuse she would use now.

"Ah for a…ah few minutes. So do you want to tell me what's been going on and who's your ghostly friend." Willow replied.

"Ah ghost. What makes you think it's a ghost." Buffy replied hoping she didn't know. Well, I could tell her it's not like she couldn't trust her. She was her best friend that she should be able to tell her anything, but she lied to her once. That was the only thing that was making it hard for her to trust her.

"Ah for the past couple day I've seen some odd stuff. You know what happen at the library, and you saying Angel's name when you almost died. And the fact I have seen you talking to yourself. I know you don't have any reason to trust me, but I'm your friend. I'm sorry I didn't tell you what we were doing. We were just…worried about you." Willow said.

"Buffy sighed and stared at Angel as he placed a gentle hand on her shoulder. "Maybe you should tell her." Angel said.

Buffy smiled and looked at Willow. "Let's go to my home, and I'll tell you on the way."

An hour has passed since Buffy told her everything. She still couldn't believe what she heard, that Angel was here, and he was a ghost. "Ok I'm still unable to comprehend that he's here. I mean how it is even possible. Willow said noticing the imply glare she was getting from Buffy.

"I mean that in a curious good way."

"Oh." Buffy replied. She looked over and seen Angel smirked at her. "Well that's what we were trying to find out. He doesn't know why he's a ghost. I started seeing him when I almost died that night." Buffy replied almost a whisper.

"Oh…..maybe that's why you can see him. I mean you're a slayer, and you're more intoned with the spiritual world than anyone else." Willow replied.

"Ah ya that's possible." Buffy said.

"So Angel is here, actually here." Willow looked around and stared back at Buffy.

"Um ya….he's right beside me." Buffy said. Angel smiled and said hi. "Ah he said hi"

Willow smiled and waved unsure if this was true until she has seen a cup of tea float from the doorway and to the desk beside Buffy's bed. "Ah did he just….. was that you Angel?" Willow said.

Buffy giggled. "Yes that was Angel. He wanted to prove to you, I wasn't seeing things."

"Oh I just remembered I was supposed to get an Item from you, something that represents a link to you and Angel to complete the bonding ritual." Willow said.

"Oh." Buffy looked at Angel. He then picked up her ring then his off the desk and handed it to her. "Are you sure you want this Angel?" she asked.

"Yes, I would do anything to keep you safe." Angel said.

Buffy smiled and took the rings and handed it to Willow. "They won't be damaged or anything right?"

"No." Willow said." It's just a simple spell with nothing being damaged or destroyed." Willow noticed the worried look. "I'll protect then like they're my kids." Willow smirked.

Buffy smiled and stared back at her friend wandering about something. "So how is everything going for you and Xander?"

"Ah fine but he can be kind of annoying but things are….progressing?"

"You don't sound…..sure." Buffy asked.

"Ah no..he can be…..

"A dumb ass, arrogant, pigheaded." Angel said annoyed.

Buffy stared at him.

"What?"

"Hay he's still my friend, even if he's pigheaded."

"Willow stared at her and smirked and wondered if he was in the library earlier. "Oh was Angel at the library earlier today?"

Buffy grinned. " Yes he seemed to think it was funny when he tossed the book at Xander."

Willow smiled. "I knew it was a ghost…..I just knew it."

Buffy smiled and stared back at Willow. "Since this is out I hope you can keep this a secret. I cannot let anyone know about Angel yet. I know you hate keeping secrets from Xander but can you do this just this once." Buffy asked.

Willow sighed knowing this was going to be tough. She had a hard time trying to keep her own secrets. However, she had to think of her best friend that needed her now. She couldn't let her down, now when she was the only friend she could count on. "I will. …promise."

That night Buffy and Angel went to the bronze to enjoy their time. Well enjoy their time privately because she didn't want people thinking she was crazy talking to herself.

She was about to say something to Angel when she noticed Cordelia coming by. She sighed hoping she didn't piss her off because she didn't think she could take any obnoxious attitude much.

"Hi Buffy I just came over to see how you've been?" Cordelia asked as she took a seat on the other side of the table. Angel growled at her as he quickly got up before she sat on him. He took a seat beside Buffy as he has seen a smirk appear on Buffy's face.

Buffy stared back at Cordelia wondering why does she care how she's been. "I'm fine Cordelia….Why do you suddenly care all of a sudden?"

"Well not to mention you're not hanging out with your loser friends and the fact you've been mopy and depressed lately." Cordelia said.

Buffy faced flared as Angel stared at her and asked if it was ok to throw something at her. Buffy glared at him and turned back to Cordelia. "Jeez does everyone in this town know my business.

"Of course not if they did you probably be sent away, famous or captured by the government. However, not in a bad way and besides I would be mopy if I had lost that hot hunk sex on a stick guy too." Cordelia said.

"Buffy opened her mouth to say something when she noticed Angel blushed. She smirked and stared back at Cordelia wondering if she had the hots for her boyfriend. Just the thought of it made her want to punch her. "Ah…I'm fine Cordelia really."

"Ok just wandered and to let you know you really should do something about the saggy eyes."

"Cordelia! If you don't have anything else than mock, please leave." Buffy said.

"I wasn't mocking I was helping, and besides I wanted to say thank you for saving my life. You know when the big scary master came oh and the time Angelus tried to kill me." Cordelia said standing up from the chair. "It's the least I could do."

Buffy smiled surprised by the comment. "Ah you're….welcome…..I think."

"Well I see ya around."

"Bye." Buffy watched her walk away and stared back at Angel. "Was it just me or did Cordelia just thanked me for saving her life."

Angel smiled. "If it was I was hearing things too. Maybe she's changing!"

Buffy glared at him. "Nay"

Angel smirked and looked up to see Giles heading this way. Great, he thought. He was starting to have somewhat fun with Buffy. Although he wasn't complaining any because he knew Giles probably was miserable since his demon put Ms. Calendar in a Coma. He could still remember when he tortured Giles and hurt his beloved Buffy. Just thinking of all the things Angelus did make him want to blame himself once again. He then wondered why he was here. Why was he back? Was he back as a punishment for what he's done? Or was he back to make things right for once in his life.

Buffy looked up and smiled. "Giles, what's up?"

Ah I just came to give you your rings back. He sat down in front of her noticing she was sitting alone. "May I ask why you're here by yourself?" Giles asked.

"Ah I just wanted some time to myself." Buffy replied

"Ah I and Willow finished the spell. A-a protective circle around... Well, I don't want to bear you with the details, but, uh, well, there's a litany th-that one has to recite in Aramaic, and it's very specific and hard. We tried but the thing was we could not undo the spell because Angel….. would actually have to be present to do the official spell, but we figured out another way it could work." Giles replied.

"Ok, what is that?" she asked.

"You just have to wear the ring. It should take care of the…..effects you were having." Giles said.

Buffy sighed wondering if this was the right ideal after all because ever since her near death experience she's been feeling better. Feeling like her normal self again. However, she wasn't going to tell him that. She didn't want him to think he did it all for nothing. "You mean like forever…"never wearing another ring in my life again." she joked

"Well…ah not forever, it's until we find a better solution." Giles said.

"Oh whatever would I do." She giggled. She then had seen him gawking staring at her curiously. "I'm only joking Giles."

Giles smiled and was once again surprised that she was back to her usual self. He smiled and was once again happy that he didn't have to worry about her again. Things should be back to normal like they always should be. "I'm glad you're happy and content now. It's good to see that smile again."

Angel smiled also and stared at her. "I too….Glad to see you smile again."

Buffy smiled back at Angel then at Giles. "I've been hearing that a lot lately."

"A while later Buffy noticed her friends coming into the bronze. She waved as they sat down by her. Angel got annoyed so he was about to leave when he noticed a boy eyeing Buffy up.

Buffy noticed the growl and turned to see what he was staring at. It was a young boy with dirty blond hair. He looked familiar like he was in one of her classes.

Willow looked over and seen the boy. She recognizes him admittedly. "Hi, Scott. What are you doing here?"

"Ah I was bored and came to see how you were doing?" Scott asked Buffy. "I'm in your second period class….Ah English."

"Oh…ya…um Scott right." Buffy asked wondering why he was talking to her. She looked over to see Angel staring at her flustered like he was holding in order to grab the boy and beat him.

Things are a bit awkward now, and Scott looks around for something to comment on. "Don't you love this song?"

"Uh yeah…um actually, I do."

"Well, would you like to... Dance?" Scott asked.

"Ah no….I actually…here with my boyfriend." Buffy replied as Xander gave her that what stare.

"Oh sorry…I didn't know you were dating anyone. Sorry." He starts to leave when he suddenly feels water being thrown on him.

"Buffy opens her mouth in shock as Angel throws it on him." Buffy's apologies and blames it on a waitress that walked by. The boy leaves as Buffy rolls her eyes and flops her head back, mentally kicking herself for the way she handled that, knowing Angel was the one that made it worse.

"Buffy glared at him angrily as he apologized to her. She then stared back at Xander, who was speaking too fast for her to understand. "Slow down…what's gotten you in panic boy mode. "Buffy asked.

"Oh come on didn't you see that glass of water moved by itself. Something really strange is going on." Xander asked still spooked by what happened. "And what do you mean boyfriend. I didn't know you had a boyfriend."

Buffy rolled her eyes and stared at him. "I didn't want to dance so I told him I had a boyfriend."

"Willow decides to stand up and stare back at Xander that was still shaken up by what he saw. " I didn't' see anything Xander. You must have had too many of those candy bars you eat. It must be making you see things" She joked.

"What? You're telling me you didn't see that?"

Buffy ignores him as she suddenly sees a couple getting close on the dance floor. The girl extends her arm, pointing at the door. The guy takes the hint, and leads her out with his arm around her. Buffy watches them go, suspicious of his intentions. She sees him say bye to his buddy and head for the door. "I don't think that guy thrives on sunshine."

"He's seemed suspicious." Angel replied knowing if he was alive he could tell admittedly if he was a vamp or not.

Buffy quickly gets up and starts out after them. She quickly puts down her drink and starts out after them. Buffy's strides out and looks around. Xander and Willow come out right behind her followed closely by Angel.

"Where'd she go?" She takes a few steps down the alley to the left to check things out. Angel is beside her now and looks around. "Buffy be careful it could be something dangerous."

"I bet it's nothing. They're probably just making out." Xander said.

Buffy walks into an alley until she hears a girl call out in a complaining tone. Buffy also hears a loud noise, as though something was just broken. Xander and Willow pulled a stake out of their pocket. Buffy takes Xander's stake and heads in the direction of the noise.

"Hay." Xander complained.

"That's not what making out sounds like, unless I'm doing it wrong?" Willow replies.

Xander snickers. "Only if they like it rough." Willow stares at him in surprise. Xander notices and blushes instantly. "I'm not saying I like that through."

The boy has a dark brown hair girl held up against a section of a temporary chain links fencing that's leaning against the building. The boy presses her harder up against the fence. "Stop struggling. This won't hurt." He smiles then vamps out and moves in order to bite the girl.

The girl grabs him by the neck, pushes him away a bit and elbows him in the face. He staggers back and regains his balance as she jumps onto a crate. She does a jumping roundhouse kick to his face, knocking him to the pavement.

Buffy's watches from a distance to shock to see this girl fighting this vamp. The girl approaches her. "It's okay, I got it. You're, uh, Buffy, right?"

Buffy is taken aback and just stares at her. Angel stares at her too and wonders if she's like Buffy. She moves like her.

The girl snaps her head back as the vamp comes from behind her. She then grabs his arm and twists the vampire around and shoves him into the section of the chains and link fence. She kicks him back as he falls to the ground. The girl turns around and grins at Buffy. "Do you mind if …brother this? She then grabs the stake as the vamp comes after her again. She then pushes him back into the fence. She raises the stake and jams it cleanly into his chest and jerks It back out. The vampire instantly crumbles into ashes. Buffy's stares in confused amazement.

Thanks, B. couldn't have done it without you." the girl replied handing the stake back to her.

"I don't think we know each other. Buffy replied.

"Oh sorry, I'm Faith….The other slayer."
