*I'm doing both episodes because they aired on the same day. I try to stick within the timeline of the episodes and all that.

"I'm leaving tomorrow."
"What?!" exclaimed Wesley as he turned sharply to his mentor who had teleported all the way to Los Angeles for their weekly night cap. "Tomorrow? That soon?"
Giles nodded as he drained his glass. "It's time. I've been putting it off for quite some weeks now and Anya is about a hair strand away from dong something to me."
Wesley remained silent as he studied his mentor. Giles sighed and did not meet the younger man's eye. "I've told you, Wesley. This doesn't mean goodbye."
"I know," replied Wesley, diverting his gaze from the man to the floor of his flat. "It's just…"
"We can still have this," replied Giles, finally turning his head to look at Wesley. "We just have to time it. You can drink whiskey while I have my tea. It's no problem."
Wesley smiled at Giles' reasoning and shook his head for his own reassurance. "You're right."
"It's high time anyway that we stretch your teleportation capabilities," said Giles with a chuckle. "Crossing continents is a good training."
"I'm not going to splinch myself if that's what your thinking," said Wesley frowning slightly at Giles' lack of confidence in him which Giles just pushed aside as the older man laughed and patted Wesley's back.
"I don't doubt your capabilities Wesley," replied Giles with a smile. "And really? Using Harry Potter terminology with regards to our magic?"
"I'll have you know I think the author comes from a Watcher family," replied Wesley with a mock scowl. "I think it's one of the Council's concealed conspiracy theories. Ordinary human outing magic to the world."
Giles' laughter echoed throughout the apartment and was soon joined by Wesley's. Giles wasn't going to let these nights end, even if he was on another side of the sea.
Wesley and the rest of the Angel Investigations group where just about to wrap up another case when Wesley all but fell to the floor.
"Wesley!" called everyone with Angel being the first person to reach the fallen man.
"Wes? What is it?" asked Angel gently as he helped the Watcher to his feet.
"I…" began Wesley clutching one side of his face. "I can't really explain it…but something just happened and at first I thought I could sense it but then it's like my own instincts are telling I shouldn't be the one concerned."
"What do you mean?" asked Gunn as he stood by Wesley's other side in case the man falls again.
"What did you feel?" asked Angel, making the question more specific.
"Huge surge of magical energy," replied Wesley as Angel guided him to sit on one of the couches in the hotel lobby. "But like I said, my instincts are telling me that we shouldn't worry about it."
"Are you sure?" asked Cordelia. "Maybe I should be alert to get my own warning next."
"I don't think you will," replied Wesley, the others looking at him in surprise at how sure he sounded. "Whatever it was, it wasn't evil. It was uncontrolled magic but it did what it was meant to do."
"Well," began Gunn. "It couldn't hurt to be on the extra look out."
Wesley swallowed and closed his eyes and tried to reach out with his magic…getting the same thing from what he felt earlier. Whatever it was, it wasn't a threat but Gunn was right.
"Wes?"
"Yes," he replied, opening his eyes. "You have a point."
