Chapter 3:

Oz sat in his van, which was parked on the side of the road, starring at the large sign that was placed in front of him. YOU ARE NOW ENTERING SUNNYDALE! ENJOY YOUR STAY! Oz sighed. He was home. In the three months he had been gone he could think of only one thing. Willow. The moment he saw her he knew, she was the one for him. He never wanted to hurt her, but he did. Now he needed to see her, even if she turned him away. But first things first…

He stepped on the gas and drove into the small hellish town that he loved so much, thinking as he went. He thought of his and Willow's first kiss, their first date, their first time making love. He thought of when he'd left and tears welled up in his green eyes. He drove past the school, which had obviously been re-built. He turned into Buffy Summers drive way. He got out and hesitantly knocked on the door. From inside he heard someone yell "I GOT IT!" and the door opened.

Dawn Summers stood, starring in awe, then let out a high-pitched scream of delight. "OZ!"

Oz looked up the stairs in panic. "Dawn shh! I don't want Willow to know I'm here!"

Dawn's smile faded. "You didn't come here to be with her?" she asked sadly.

"No, I did…its just…I want it to be a surprise. Is she here?"

Dawn lit up again and shook her head. "I'm glad you came back Oz. Willows been a mess without you. Her and Buffy are always moping around. But now that you're here Willow will be happy! Now all we need is that Angel guy…"

"So Willows not here? Good. Is Buffy?" He asked the rambling 16 year old.

"Yeah. OH MY GOSH! I'm so rude! I'm sorry! Come in!"

Oz smiled and walked in. "You can go sit while I get Buffy, if you want."

"Ok thanks, Dawn." He walked over to the couch and sat down awkwardly. He didn't know how Buffy would react to seeing him. He looked around. The pictures on the walls hadn't changed a bit. Buffy and Dawn's school pictures hung above the TV and a large picture of Buffy, Dawn and Joyce was on the fireplaces mantle (a/n I know there is no fire place but that's all I could think of.) Oz looked over on the side table. There were 4 framed pictures on it. The first that was at the center of the table showed Buffy Xander and Willow. (a/n the one in the episode Halloween and dead mans party.) the 2nd showed Buffy Willow Xander and Giles. In it Giles was sitting next to Buffy with a book on his lap and a big smile, Willow and Buffy's smiles looked like they were enjoying it but not entirely happy and behind them Xander was giving Giles bunny ears with a big goofy smile. The third Oz was in. It was right after they blew up the school. Willow bought a camera from a local drug store and decided to have a 'yeah we survived the apocalypses so ha' picture as she put it. It was the whole Scooby gang. Buffy and Xander were standing right next to each other with looks that said 'I told you we could do it!' next to Xander was Giles and next to him was Cordelia. Giles had a look that said 'I'm happy but still British so I wont lose my head' and Cordy's look said something like 'Yeah we survived. Can I go now?' Oz eyes lit up when he saw the next people, Willow and himself. They were sitting right next to one another. One of Willow's hands was punching the air as if to say 'GO US!' and her other was around his shoulders. Both his hand were around her waist. They looked so happy… he placed the picture back in its spot and picked up the next. It was Willow and him. Buffy had taken it and said it was the sweetest. Oz had his hand wrapped around Willow's waist and her arms were around his shoulders. They were in mid-kiss. He sighed and put it back. He missed Willow so much…

"OZ!" Buffy's happy scream resembled her sisters as she ran into her living room and pulled him into a friendly hug. "I knew you would come back!" She beamed.

"Yeah I'm here! Look, Buffy, I need your help. I want to surprise Willow, but I don't know how."

Dawn stepped in the room and said, "I have an idea."

As Dawn, Buffy and Oz talked about how to surprise Willow and came up with the perfect plan, Faith listened at the window, planning her next move. She was going to make this a reunion that no one would forget.

a/n so there is chap. 3. Reviews are thanked! Please! I want to know how I'm doing. The next chapter will have Willow and Oz together I promises. And soon Buffy might get exactly what she's been wishing for! )

Thanks for reading! Chapter 4 will be up soon!
