Sorry for the uber long delay everyone. First my word program shut down, and I got that fixed in like three days, but then as I was walking home, I got abducted by aliens and they took my memory away from me, so with the help of my dead dog Jake we traveled across the universe to take it back and save the world.
OXOXOXOXOX
The telephone rang just as Buffy got back to her house, "Hello?"
"Buffy, where were you? Oz said that you ran off and everyone has been way concerned about you." The Wiccan rushed.
"I was… on a date." She covered.
"Oh my god! Really where, do I know him, is he cute? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Wills stop, breath. Coffee shop, yes, and wow I could die of his cuteness."
"Well who is he? I'm your best friend; I should know this kind of stuff."
"If it helps, Cordy doesn't know." She replied avoiding the first question, not sure if it would help or hurt Angel to have all of their friends know that they were together/ he slays.
"It doesn't help and why are you avoiding the question? You can tell me anything and I won't tell a soul."
"Except for Oz, and willow it's his secret to tell. And it's not like we're together. We just… share a common interest. I'll talk to him and see what he wants to do about it. But I have to go now, we have a test tomorrow and I still haven't studied."
"You, not study? I'm shocked."
"Very funny Wills. Good night."
"Night Buffy." They both hung up the phone.
BUFFY'S POV
I never thought a regular human could fight so well with vampires. I mean I've seen Xander and everyone fight for their lives, and almost kill themselves on several occasions, but he was handling himself just as well as me. I need to get in contact with those friends of his.
But there are still plenty of questions in my mind. Why didn't he tell anyone? What happens when someone shows up on patrol and we're together? Should I tell anyone? Should I talk to him about this? How long can I hold this in? Do I blog about it on the internet? Will he suddenly want me because I live the same life he does?
ANGEL'S POV
She was the most amazing thing I had ever seen. The speed, strength, grace, and ability to shot out a witty comment at any moment. Grant it there were only three vampires that night but, still she was amazing. And to worst part was that I must have had my mouth hanging open drool and all the whole time. This was different than the first time, because then I didn't know it was her, but now, I think I love her even more than I did when we first met.
Our mom's have been friends since they were in college in New York but when Mrs. Summers moved to the west coast with her supposed "true love" the friends were separated, and lost contact because Hank thought that my mother was a bad influence on her. So, seven years later, when Hank went on a business trip to Spain for a month, Mrs. Summers found my parents number, and offered a free vacation to Los Angeles. So two days, 5 hours and three airports later, we were in the City of Angels.
"Mommy she's your friend not mine why do I have to come?" I whined, on the twenty minute drive to the summers house hold.
"Because daddy is on a business trip to England. And even if he wasn't you would still be here. But Mrs. Summers has a daughter Cordy's age, maybe you all could be friends."
"But girls are gross, they have girl germs." I really wasn't all that different from the rest of the eight year old male population.
"Well that's just too bad for you because we're here." Meredith Chase replied pulling in to the house that she thought belonged to her best friend.
"Mer!" Joyce greeted her best friend.
"Joy!" She replied using her nick-name for her as the hugged. While mean while Cordy was throwing anything she could get her hands on at me.
"Mommy, can we give Cordy to the Zoo here. No one will miss her." I complained.
"Hold on for a minute." Mom said pulling away from Mrs. Summers, and walked over to the rental car and pulls both of us out. "Joyce these are my kids, Angel and Cordelia." When we were unusually quite she made us talk, "Say Hi to Mrs. Summers."
"Hi Mrs. Summers, my name's Cordelia, I can't spell it 'cause it's long but I'm also called Cordy."
"Hello Cordy." Cordelia was beaming. "And who is this cute little man?" she said leaning down so she could be face level with me.
"I'm Angel and I don't want to be here."
"Angel!" my mother scolded.
"Why don't the kids go in the back and play with Buffy?" Mrs. Summers suggested, not at all taken aback by my comment.
"Great idea." She said leading us to the large back yard. It was obviously designed for a child because the was a large swing set, with three swings, two slides, monkey bars, and plenty of places to climb up and down. Not only that, but there was a pool, equipped with basketball hoop, and diving board and not to mention all of the toys that were littering the ground. But I didn't see any of that what I saw was a small blonde little girl that was Cordy's age playing with a Barbie, and so full of energy, she was impossible not to love.
OXOXOXOXOXO
"Hello earth to Angel." Connor was yelling in Angel's ear.
"What?" he jumped, coming out of his day dream.
"Dude, I've been trying to get your attention for the past like twenty minutes. Where have you been?"
"I was thinking about the first time I meet Buffy." He replied sheepishly.
"When are you just going to tell her that you love her? And please don't tell me that you're going to wait for a demon to come up and attack her, then she runs into your arms crying, and all that super hero movie crap. Speaking of her how'd the not-date date go?"
"It was okay but Connor, your fantasy is flawed."
"How so?"
"She can hold her own pretty well. And when you get the time can you look something up for me?"
"Sure what is it?"
"I was wondering if you could look up the slayer."
"Who?
"That's what I want you to figure out. I know the basics, she fights demons, extra strength, speed etcetera"
"Is this slayer someone whose name happens to rhyme with scruffy?"
"Why do you want us together so badly?" Angel shot out.
"Because you two are freaking perfect for each other. Not like the she-bitch Darla."
"Connor you don-"
"Everyone hates her, how can you not tell, when their all hanging out over here all of your friends are practically in the corner trying to get away from her."
"I know" he admitted. "I'm going to break up with her. Tomorrow, I can't be with someone when it's not the person I love."
"Thank god." Connor breathed a sigh of relief.
"Connor it's almost eleven go to bed." Their mother yelled up the stairs of the Chase mansion.
"Got to go, but tell me how the evil hag-cow takes it." Connor said from the doorway.
OXOXOXOXOXO
Buffy had a hard time getting up to go to school the next morning. Of course it might have something to do with the fact that she worked extra hard to make Angel start to drool a little bit. Even if there were only three vampires.
But when fifth period came along she had an idea. Jealousy, she thought. That's how I get him. He saw what I can do now I just have to get a guy on my arm. She would have to find a willing idiot at lunch.
OXOXOXOXO
He had brought her over to the tree away from unwanted eyes to see them.
"Darla, we're not working out, I think its best that we split up."
"Why I'm the best lay in this whole dump of a high school?"
"That's one of the things, you take pride in the fact that you've had sex, and I know that you've been doing behind my back."
"Well I wouldn't be if you would just give me your freaking virginity, and not that I'm waiting for the right person crap."
"Darla we're done. Get over it." He said forcibly and then walked away, never looking back.
"You will pay for this dear boy. You will pay."
OXOXOXOXO
Not everyone had ditched class so by the time that fifth period history was over Riley Finn had come over to Buffy's desk, and started to talk to her.
"So Buffy I was wondering if you wanted to hang out at the bronze around ten. With me."
"Are you asking me out?"
"Um… uh… kinda… uh if you want it to be." He managed to get out.
"Then I'd love to." She got up and started to head to her next class. She looked over her shoulder "See you there." Buffy seductively said. Thank you for applying for the spot of willing idiot Riley Finn.
OXOXOXOXOXO
Since Buffy now had her plan set in motion and didn't need to scout for a date, she decided to sit through 'how to properly grope you boyfriend, staring Darla' being that she felt much better.
"Is Darla sick?" she asked when she saw everyone but her there.
"Buffy can we talk, privately?" Angel got up and was about to lead her to the tree and tell her how he felt when her ran into a smaller man.
"Hey Buffy" the smaller man said.
"Guys." Buffy started smiling with fake enthusiasm. "You know Riley Finn, My new boyfriend."
Angel's mouth dropped open even wider that it was yesterday night.
OXOXOXOXOXOXOX
