Angel Investigations
Angel walked into the office just before sunset to see Cordelia and Wesley sitting behind the counter.
"Good night." He said to his employees.
Cordelia looked up at Angel and smiles before continuing to file her nails.
Wesley put up a hand and said hello, never taking his eyes off of the book he was reading.
"Angel moved to his office and began to busy himself with paper work.
A few minute later Cordelia entered his office and sat down at the chair in front of him. "Did Buffy get the invite to our High School Reunion?"
Angel looked up. "Yeah, she did."
"Is she going?"
"I don't think so?"
"Why
not?"
"You know how much she hates thinking about High
School. It did try to kill her for three years."
'It tried to kill us ALL for three years. I was nearly decapitated to be part of a whole bunch of girls."
"Cordy I know. It's just, Buffy still lives on the Hellmouth, she can't get away from it like the rest of you did."
"Hello, working for a vampire here. I didn't escape the uberevil either."
"Yeah but that was your choice. Buffy doesn't have that choice. She can't just turn her back on this."
"I guess you're right." It was silent for a minute then she spoke again. "Doesn't she want to see how all the people she saved turned out? I mean she blew up the school to save these people."
"You know Buffy. She wouldn't see it as all the people she saved. She'd noticed all the people that should have been there but weren't cause she couldn't or didn't save them."
"You know what? I don't care. You tell her that she is going whether she wants to or not, even if I have to drag her blonde butt over there." She said getting up and walking out.
Later that Night
Los Angeles
Cordy picked up the phone and dialed. The phone rang a few times before being picked up.
"Hello?"
"Xander, it's me Cordy."
"Hey Cor. To what do I owe the pleasure?"
"Did you get the invite?"
"Yeah I was going to call you up."
"Are you going?"
"I don't know. I'll probably just come down for the weekend to see Buffy and Giles. Maybe stop by LA to see you."
"You know what? That's not a bad idea. Xander you're a genius."
"I've often thought so myself... why now?"
"Well Angel told me that Buffy didn't want to go to the reunion cause she doesn't want to go back to the place that tried to kill her for three years. So I'm thinking why don't we have a Scooby Gang reunion right here at the hotel. I'll call Willow and OZ and we'll fix up the rooms here and throw a party in the lobby."
"That sounds good to me. I'm in."
"Great I'll call Willow and Oz tomorrow."
"You going to invite G-Man too right?"
"Of course dufus. I mean, he's like a father to us."
"Yeah I know."
"Alright I have to go. I'll call you later with the details."
"Okay Night Cordy."
"Night Xander."
Cordelia hung up her phone and walked into Angel's office. "We're having a party."
"Huh?" Angel asked looking up from his work.
"We are throwing a party." She said slower.
"Why? When? Where? And How much is it going to cost me?"
"Because I miss the gang. I still don't know. Here and you're paying for it."
"Cordy what the hell are you talking about?"
"I called Xander to see if he was going to go to the reunion. He said probably no but he'd come down to see us. So I thought why not have a Scooby Gang Reunion here in the Lobby. I figure we can set up a couple of other rooms and they could spend the weekend. What do you think?"
Angel sat in his chair thinking about it. Then he looked up at Cordelia. "I think it's the best idea you've ever had. Only thing is Buffy wont leave the hellmouth unattended for the whole weekend."
"She's not, Spike could watch the hellmouth." Once she'd said it she shook her head. "Never mind."
"How about we have it at the mansion. We could ask Gunn to keep an eye on things here. You, Spike and Wesley have your room. We could stick Willow and Oz into the other guest room and Xander could stay with you in your room." He finished with a smile.
"I hate you/" She said before storming out of his office.
"I love you too Cordy." He yelled at her retreating form.
