oooooooooooo Here's the fifth chapter. Review and enjoy!
"You hungry, kid?" Buffy asked. "I've got some pizza I could warm up for you in the fridge."
"That would be nice. Thanks," he said, sitting down at the table in the kitchen.
"Cool," the kid said, looking at the postcard. "Ireland. I've always wanted to go there."
"Someone I know is there," Buffy said, taking the postcard back.
"Boyfriend someone?" Dan asked.
"That's not your business, kid. Eat," Buffy said, passing him a plate of pizza.
"Sorry," he said.
"It's okay," Buffy said with a bit of a smile. "He's not a boyfriend. But he's a very important
someone to me."
"Well he's lucky to have you consider him important."
"Alright Dan, enough with the flattery, stuff your face, so I can go to bed."
Dan started wolfing down the pizza. "Are you gonna go see this guy in Ireland?" Dan asked
between bites of pizza.
"Goodnight Dan," Buffy said, throwing a blanket onto the couch, walking to her room, and
closing the door.
She undressed and threw a t-shirt and shorts on, getting into bed.
She looked at the postcard and sighed. "Oh Angel, Angel. I think I'm ready for you... I know
I'm ready for you... Okay, I guess I'm going Ireland," she laughed to herself.
Buffy turned over and picked up the phone, calling Faith at the fortress. "Hey Faith, there's
a kid squatting on the couch tonight, so don't be freaked when you get in. Do me a favour
and tell Giles that I'm gonna be leaving the country tomorrow, but I'll be back in a couple of
weeks."
"Alrighty B."
"Night."

It was the next morning. Buffy was in the kitchen, making pancakes.
"That smells good," Dan said.
"Come here and watch the pancakes. Don't let them burn. I've got to pack a couple things
up," she told him.
Dan came over to the stove, and Buffy went back to her room. She gathered up some
clothes and weapons and threw those into a bag. She closed her door and walked back into
the kitchen.
"I didn't burn your pancakes, see," Dan joked.
"Good," Buffy said. "Grab a couple plates and come eat with me."
"So, I see a bag. Does that mean you're taking a little trip? Ireland maybe?" he asked with
a grin.
"Yes," Buffy said simply.
"Cool," Dan said. "I hope you find your guy."
"Thank you," Buffy replied, putting a couple pancakes on his plate.
"Thanks for letting me stay here by the way. I see where Dawn got her kindness from."
Buffy gave him a sad smile.
Dan sat down at the table and gulped down the pancakes pretty quickly.
Buffy ate standing up near the window. "I think your friends are here," she said, pointing
out the window.
Dan came over to check. "Yep, that would be them," he said.
"It was nice to meet you Dan."
"You too, and thanks again," he said, heading out the door.
Buffy finished her pancakes, washed the plates, and left a couple pancakes for Faith.
"Faith," Buffy yelled.
"What?" she mumbled.
"Whenever the hell you wake up, there's a couple pancakes for you."
"Thanks."
"Go back to sleep. I'm gonna head out. I'll see you in a couple weeks."
"Mmm hmmm," Faith mumbled sleepily.

"Okay, I did what you wanted. Can I go now?" Dan asked, nervously.
"What did she say to you?" a large group of men asked.
"Well, I told her that I knew her sister like you said, and she let me stay with her... She had
a postcard from a guy named Angel, I think. He's in Ireland... I asked her if it was her
boyfriend, but she didn't really answer. She said he was important to her. Whatever he is to
her, she's going to look for him in Ireland. She's leaving today. That's all she said. Can I go
now, please? You aid you wouldn't bite me if I did what you asked."
"You can go boy," said an older looking man, who's face was suddenly morphing into
something a lot more scary, with fangs.
Dan ran off quickly.
This older looking man/vamp turned around to face his group, which consisted of 12 others.
"This is better than I hoped. We're not going to have to lure the Slayer to Galway after all.
All we need to do now is follow her carefully. We'll get her when we get there, and then
we'll make sure Angel finds her... Ah revenge will be sweet."
"Um, Edward, no disrespect intended, but why exactly do we want revenge on the Slayer
and Angel?"
"You don't need to know the details, but let's just say they took something precious from
Me, and now I'm going to make them pay. I want to see the look on Angel's face when
we're done with the girl."

Buffy arrived at the airport and headed to the desk.
"I'd like to buy a ticket to Ireland please."
"Where exactly?"
"Galway?"
"We have no direct flight there, but I can give you a ticket that would take you close
enough. You would just need to get a ride. It would only take about an hour."
"Okay then, that's the ticket I want," Buffy said.
