Saturday, around noon
Cordelia and Doyle were poking through the shattered remains of the office upstairs when they returned. Cordelia whirled in shock. "Is he evil?" she asked Buffy. "Did you do the groiny thing and turn him evil?"
"Nope, no evil," she said, guiding Angel into the sunlight. He basked in the unfamiliar warmth, and his employees gaped at the sight. "He's human now," Buffy explained. "He got some demon guy's blood on him and he went all human."
Doyle hunted through books scattered on the floor and showed several pictures to Buffy. After a few she said, "Yup, that's the guy."
"A Mohra demon," Doyle explained. Cordelia, annoyed by the mess the rampaging demon had left in his hunt for the vampire, quipped, "Really? I was thinking it was more like a rock star demon. Maybe like a whole rock band." The other three ignored her. "A Mohra demon's veins flow with the blood of eternity," Doyle read, then looked up at his boss. "His blood must have restored your humanity."
"Oh my God," Buffy said, grinning. "Giles is so pwned. He totally told me there was no cure for vampires. He's gonna freak when we tell him."
"Oh, yeah," said Cordelia helpfully. "Because he's going to be happy to forgive the guy who almost tortured him to death. He's totally over that whole thing now."
Buffy shot her an exasperated look. "Come on, Cordy, that was Angelus, who is now no longer in the picture. It's just Angel from now on."
"Great," the brunette replied. "Good thing it's still early in the day so I can get my unemployment application in. You were paying unemployment taxes, weren't you, Angel?"
The former vampire shook his head. "This is all too sudden. I don't know what's going to happen with the business."
Buffy stood in front of her lover and grabbed his hands behind her back.
"But we're not going to go on about that now because Angel and I are going shopping. Bye." She then dragged him out the door, into the sunlight.
