Chapter 5

A/N: Thank you to all who reviewed. Ok so its been almost 2 months, but I didn't mean to I've been sick and school and all this stuff so so sorry, but I'm getting back into writing. Next, I have to say last chapter I felt a little Jossed while I was writing. Ok moving on, I might have accidentally lied about the chapters. This chapter may be short cause you know I have to get Buffy saying goodbye to everybody, her mom not being ok with it and Dawn wanting to come. All that good stuff, but then they're in LA, where there's no way I could postpone it any longer. So sorry. I'll try to get the next chapter after this one out right after this chapter.

Buffy looked around her room for any last minute things she might need. When she found nothing she went to go check her appearance in the mirror before heading out. Happy with her appearance she left with her weapons bag and clothes bag in hand and started off toward Giles to meet the gang.

When Buffy finally arrived Xander and Gunn were bickering, Willow had a look of horror on her face well Cordy gave her fashion tips, Giles was sitting at his desk with a bunch of books surrounding him.

"Hey guys." Buffy said

"Oh hey Buffy. You took longer than you said you would, we were worried." Willow said running to her side.

"Yeah sorry. I just lost track of time. Everyone ready?" Buffy asked looking around the room one last time.

Gunn walked away from Xander and went over to stand beside Cordelia. Xander went to stand on the other side of Buffy. Giles got up and gave Buffy a hug and said..."Don't worry, we'll take care of and Dawn your mom. " Giles let go and sat back down.

Willow and Xander went and gave Buffy a group hug. "Don't worry about the hellmouth. We can slay while your gone." Willow said. "Yeah Buff, worry about deadboy."

Cordy and Gunn were waiting at the door for Buffy. They started to leave. '"Oh do you guys think that I could maybe stop at my mom's first. I kinda forgot to tell her I was going to LA." Gunn sighed.

"Buffy!" Boom! There went the bomb. "You were late, which made us late. Which mean I'll get nagged at for it by the way, but know we have to stop..." Cordelia's voice drifted.

15 minutes later

Buffy walked in and yelled for her mom when she didn't see her in the living room or dinning room.

"In here honey!" Joyce yelled from the kitchen.

Buffy walked into the kitchen to find her mom cooking . "Hey what are you doing? Cause I know it's not bed rest." Buffy said

"I'm just making an easy diner for Dawn and I. Nothing too drastic."

"Ok. Oh um I just wanted to tell you that I'm going to LA for a while, but no worries cause the gang has the hellmouth covered."

"Oh, are you visiting your father?" Buffy hadn't seen her dad for a while, so Joyce just assumed.

"Uh no, but now that you mention it I should probably say hi when I'm there."

"Oh. Then who are you going to see?"

"Um...Angel." Buffy whispered hoping her mom wouldn't catch it.

"Why?" Joyce wasn't thrilled but she wasn't as worried as she was back when they were dating. Therefore no freaking.

"Uh he has a demon problem. I shouldn't be gone long." Buffy couldn't believe it, her mom was fine with her going to LA.

"Be careful honey." Joyce walked out of the room and went upstairs to give Dawn super and eat in bed.

"One down, one to go." Buffy muttered to her self.

Buffy went up to Dawn's room. Buffy knocked and heard a come in.

"Hey Dawny." Buffy walked in and sat on the bed facing Dawn.

"Hey Buffy. Why are you here?"

"I have to go see Angel in LA and I'm just here to say bye. And no you can't come." Buffy added when she saw the words forming.

"Why? It's not fair. How come I never get to visit him. You alway go running off to LA but I never even get to talk to him."

"I know. It's not fair but nows not a good time. Angel's not himself and he needs some guidance."

"But I could help." Dawn pleaded.

"No Dawn. Nows a bad time to visit. I'm not even sure why I'm going." Buffy said

"Fine..." Buffy left. Once she closed the door Dawn muttered, "I never get to have any fun."
