When the plane landed they were both asleep, Buffy stretched out over the couch and Angel in an armchair. Buffy woke first, hearing Jimmy call over the intercom that they were landed and ready to get off. She jabbed Angel none-to-carefully in the arm
"Get up lazy bones we're here." She said.
"Jesus, you didn't have to hit me." He muttered still half asleep.
" Get over it you whiner, lets go we have a lot to do today." She said, grabbing her bags and walking towards the exit, Angel following.
"Like what?" He muttered "we have the next three months off."
"Maybe so, but we have to get food and things to stock up the house with." She said glaring at him.
They rode together in silence towards the market, 'this is going to be a long assignment' Angel thought.
"You're really only 18?" He questioned.
"Yeah, why is that so hard to believe?" She said, turning to look at him at a light.
"Well I mean, god 18, is this what you're going to do with your life, didn't you ever want more or something?" He asked.
"No, I want revenge, they pay me enough so whenever I do get the asshole who killed my sister back, I'll have enough money to live rather comfortably wherever I want in the world. What about you, how old are you, and didn't you ever want more?" She wondered aloud.
"I'm 24, and no I never wanted more, I was like you, I was in military training and they grabbed me, but they're stupid, I work on my own for Giles like you." He said.
They got to the market and parked the car. Angel could tell Buffy didn't like this car half as much as she adored her porche because she didn't even lock this one. Buffy grabbed a cart and quickly started around the market, Angel could barely keep up. He noticed her grabbing lots of fruits, vegetables, and and "healthy foods."
"No junk food?" He asked.
"We're not there yet, chill." She snapped. She walked rather quickly, grabbing Angels hand and pulling him along like a wary child.
"What's wrong, why are you walking so fast." He asked having to take large bounds to keep up with her tiny feet.
"I hate being here, I don't like lots of people." She snapped. She grabbed a few bags of chips, motioning for him to grab whatever he wanted. He grabbed some candy and crackers, Buffy had already gotten most of what he wanted.
They paid for the food and carried it out to the car in silence, loading the groceries in the car. When he got in, he looked over at Buffy, observing her subtly as he could. 'She's so young, and to be so angry and closed off. She's beautiful though, innocent almost.'
