OXOXOXOXOXOXOX

"I would never have thought Dawn had it in her," Buffy thought out loud. "And what do you mean 'set us up' I'm going out with Riley, remember?" she pointed out.

"Yeah I remember." He replied bitterly. "But do they? I mean, Connor is practically pushing me next to you." He revealed.

"Really?" She asked suddenly interested. "It always seemed like Dawn could care less. Beside, why is he gunning for us?"

"Because he knows, about me and you with the" He repeated the same action that Buffy had showed him earlier.

"You told him?" she asked curiously.

"Well, I always tell him things, but it started when I came back from New York City, he was up late on Saturday night, playing Grand Theft Auto, and I made the stupid mistake of using the front door. So what choice did I have but to tell him?"

"And he believed it? Everything about vampires, demons, and witches." Her voice was getting louder.

"Shh. Someone could hear you." He reprimanded. "Funny though shouldn't I be the one raising my voice, being the one without three years of experience." He joked.

"Sorry, it's just, all these people knowing about this, us. It gives me the wiggins."

"Who?" He asked still unfamiliar to her vocabulary.

"It means I'm freaked out. All of our friends know, my family, your brother!" she exclaimed. Most other people in the coffee shop thought she was talking about an unknown relationship, or her becoming a teenage mother. But that's how the world is, unfazed by what really goes on.

"Do you mind if I change the subject?" Angel asked suddenly to stressed to talk about slaying.

"Not at all, in fact I was just about to ask you the same thing."

"What's going on between you and Riley?" Angel asked.

Of course he asked that question Buffy thought. "We've only been together for like a day Angel, not a lot can go on in that time."

"Okay then, how'd it happen, what made you say yes?"

"He asked me on a whim in History, and I said yes. It's really not that complicated." She started to stand up and leave.

"Hey Buffy, do you think it could be serious, or is this a onetime thing?" he hopefully asked.

"Why does it matter, you jealous?"

"Yes." He whispered. "I wanted to see if you were open Friday night for a Bronzing extravaganza. After a quick sweep of course." He smiled.

"Sure, it sounds fun. And subject jumping again" I sat down. "When do we tell the gang?"

"Tomorrow after school in the library." He decided. "We tell them the whole story, us meeting in the cemetery and my whole 'discovery'" he put air quotes around the word discovery.

OXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX

"So how'd it go?" Connor asked, dragging out the o in go for several beats, as soon as Angel walked through the front door.

"We talked, decided when to tell the gang," he said nonchalantly "I asked Buffy out and she said yes" his smiled went ear to ear.

"Well finally, after what, ten years you finally grow the balls to ask her out, only after I force you two to once again sit down and talk."

"Have you been hanging around with Spike?" Angel asked interested in his brother's language.

"Nope, want me to say it in French? Eh bien finalement, après ce que, dix ans tu seras enfin les couilles de lui demander de sortir, mais seulement après je vous force de deux à une fois de s'asseoir et de parler. How 'bout Spanish? Bueno, finalmente, después de lo que, diez años que finalmente crecen las bolas para in…"

"I get it, you're a gifted child and I know shit about girls." He smiled. "Wait, when did you learn French, I thought you only took Spanish?" he suddenly realized.

"The internet can offer a lot for a bored thirteen year old boy." He replied.

They both laughed as Angel went up to his bathroom to take a shower.

The next day after school.

"Giles, what's up? You never need all of us together at one time unless it's apocalypse end of the world thing," Xander looked up as he entered the library. "And Why is Angel here shouldn't we be ex-nay on the emon-day's."

"That's what I wanted to talk to you all about, and now that Xander's here I need to tell you guys something…" Angel and Buffy then starts to retell their encounter, and how Angel found out about their world.

"So let me get this strait," Faith started. "We've been breaking our asses for the past two years fighting vampires while meanwhile it takes him" she points her thumb at Angel "One fun summer in New York with his buddies. And suddenly he's Mr. Vampire slayer extraordinaire." She huffed and leaned back on Spike.

"It's basically it. I can't explain it but, I feel like I am stronger than a normal human." Xander sits up and is opens his mouth, about to say something. "No Xand, I'm not on drugs or steroids." He sits back down. For several minutes, no one says anything.

"This is different, but…" Giles started breaking the silence. "It will be good for Buffy to have someone of her… ability to patrol with." He says taking the situation from a watcher's point of view.

OXOXOXOXOXOXOX

"It seems like they all hate me now." Angel said interrupting the silence that was patrol.

"No they don't Angel, their just confused." Buffy reassured him.

"Actually it seems to me that they always find something to hate about you, you're looks, if you're not being compared to my then you seem smart, and not to mention the catastrophe that was you last girlfriend." Connor jumped in.

"Remind my why your little brother is with us?" Angel never got the change, for a scream inturupted him. They all ran out to the street behind the Bronze where a bottle blond was being feed off of by a vampire.

Angel recognized her immediately.

It was Darla.

OXOXOXOXOX
