Angel - I swear humans have no idea how hard it is to be a vampire! Ya know like the no sun deal, you think we like being this pale?! Well no we don’t! I mean I can’t even go to a tanning saloon for fear of being turned into a pile of ashes. Oh and the whole no reflection crap ya think I enjoy not being able to see my self.  And don’t even get me started on the blood lust thing.

(This was Angels fourth session with Dr. Hilert. He had grown rather fond of the twenty-nine year-old therapist. During his first session he had been very nervous about telling her the whole truth, about what he was, and showing her his “true face” to prove his story. But to his amazement not only did she not freak out on him when he showed her, but she was also very polite about the whole matter. Not to mention she was blonde, about 5’8, and extremely beautiful. )

Dr. Hilert – So when exactly did you start feeling like this?

Angel – I don no. (he was restlessly pacing around the room looking from one item to another, he never really sat or laid down on the black couch unless asked to.)

Dr. Hilert – Your avoiding my questions today Angel. Ya know there’s really no way for me to help you if you’re not straight with me.

Angel – Not straight with you! What do you want me to tell you? You know more about me then any one else I’ve ever known.

Dr. Hilert – What about Buffy? (She saw him immediately stop pacing and stare at her. She knew it was a risky thing to say but mentioning this girl, this, what did he call her, slayer, Buffy, seemed to be the only way to get through to him half the time. And in order to help him she had to get through to him first.)

Angel – That’s not fair.

Dr. Hilert Sigh, Angel you came her three weeks ago ready to commit suicide because of this Buffy girls death. Now you told me that she was this chosen warrior who’s soul propose in life was to kill demons and monsters much like your own proposes. But then some were along the way you two fell in love with each other. You were both happy, but then some time last month she was killed by demon. Am I close? (She was pushing him hard and she knew it, but it had to be done. This was the only way to get him to let some of his pain and frustration out.) So the way I see it is that you can ether share with me what’s wrong and let me help, our you can go throw your self onto sharp piece of wood, because if you won’t let me in, then your just wasting my time. (He stared at her speechless for a minute. She had never spoken to him like that before and he wasn’t quit sure how to take it. Finally excepting her terms he gave in and laid down on the over stuffed couch) well all right then.

Angel – You’re not the first person to bitch at me like that today ya know. I was at home looking at pictures of me and Buffy and her friends, when all the sudden her parents just barge right in, not even bothering to knock. So they just storm in like they own the place and start yelln and cursen at me. Saying that Buffys death is all my fault and how if she hadn’t left them to live with me this never would have happened. (He stops and quietly stars at the ceiling possibly fighting back tears)

Dr. Hilert – So what’d you do?

Angel – Willow threw them out. Buffys wiccan friend I told ya bout, she came by earlier because…………. she was worried about me and then refused to leave, she was upstairs and heard the commotion……. (Again stares at the ceiling)

Dr. Hilert – Did you and Buffy not get along well with her parents? (Still quietly staring at the ceiling) Angel? You know if you put as much effort into expressing how you really feel, as you do in you fronting and pretending then you might actually be “cured” by now.

Angel – I can’t protect people and fight demons if I spend all my time crying and yelling about my problems.

Dr. Hilert – But that’s exactly what you need to do Angel. You have to learn to open up to people, to express how you feel.

Angel – Last time I did that…….. well let’s just say it ended badly.

Dr. Hilert – So tell me about it. Your my last session for the day and I’m in no hurry to go home, so tell me all about it.

Angel – You really want to hear about it?

Dr. Hilert – Yes!

Angel – All right. It was about two months ago….

 

Scene II;

(Two Months ago)

 

(God Buffy's gonna kill me. She’s gonna be here any minute and I still haven’t decided on what the hell I’m gonna wear on our date. Well not exactly “date” more like a night in hell. See Buffy arranged it so that we were suppose to have dinner with her parents. I mean under normal circumstances I really wouldn’t mind, but ever since that night when Spike decided it would be fun to tell them about of me and Buffys sex life things haven’t been good between me and my beloved’s parents. Not that it really matters now, I swore on my soul that I’d go through with this dinner thing so there’s really no use complaining about it.)

Buffy – (walking smoothly into the apartment, dressed in a tight blue silk dress, high heeled black shoes, with her hair loosely pinned up.) You’re not even dressed yet?!

(I knew she’d have a fit, here it is 5:04 p.m. we’re suppose to meet her parents at the Sunnydale Gardens Restaurant at 5:30 p.m. sharp. And here I stand with my hair still sopping wet from the shower and completely naked.)

Buffy – I can’t believe you’re not ready yet! (Stops and gives me a quick once over) I mean don’t get me wrong, not that I’m not enjoying the view and all (I can feel my self blushing at this) it’s just that if you don’t hurry up we’re gonna be late, which will result in pissing off my parents, and I don’t really want to deal with that.

Angel – (I move to put on my leather pants she likes so much) I’m hurrying, I’m hurrying. Just give me a second.

Buffy – We don’t have a second! Come on! (Realizing I’m moving to slow for her she then decides to take matters into her own hands. Grabbing my red silk shirt from the closet she then attempts to put it on me while I’m slipping on my black boots, which just doesn’t work)

Angel – Beloved calm down. It’s gonna be fine. We’re not going to be late I swear.

Buffy –(calming down slightly she slumps down next to me on the couch) ya I suppose your right.

Angel – Oh course I am, I’m always right.

Buffy – Oh really?…

Angel – Absolutely. (With that she pulls me onto the floor and starts tickling me) Hey! No fair !!!! Stop it!

Buffy – Say uncle!

Angel – Never! (Of course at this point I’m laughing so hard tears are running down my face)

Buffy – Say it!

Angel – Okay! Okay! Uncle! Uncle!

(She stops tickling and is now sitting on my stomach triumphantly)

Buffy – Good boy. (Gives me a kiss)

Angel – Am I? (Returning her gesture)

Buffy- Oh very. (This time kissing me longer and finally slipping her tongue into my mouth. Again I return the gesture more then eager. Of course this then sends us both in to a sort of kissing/tongue war. Only after ten minutes do I very reluctantly pull away.)

Angel – Not that I don’t love this but if we don’t get going we’re gonna be late.

Buffy – Oh shit! (Jumping off me) Come on get up! Put your shirt on!

Angel – Love, calm dow…… (Before I can even finish she yanks me out the door, bond and determined not to be late.)

 

Scene III;

(5:29 p.m. at Sunnydale Gardens Restaurant)

 

(We run into the restaurant only to be stopped the sight before us. There at the table were not only Buffys parents but also her cousin and aunt, all chatting rapidly.)

Angel – You said it was just your parents.

Buffy – (looking very brassed off) I was lead to believe it was.

Angel – I can’t handle this. I can’t even deal with just your parents, how am I suppose to take two more people on top of that.

Buffy – I don’t know but you’d better figure it out quick because we’ve been spotted. (Sure enough her aunt had seen us and was now waving us over.)

Angel – Pleasssssseeee don’t make me do this.

Buffy – Just remember, we’ve faced worse.

Angel – No we haven’t.

Buffy – Ya I know. (Pushing me to the table) But suck it up.

Mr. Summers – Little late are we.

Buffy – (gives him a cold glare) Well if I’d have known we had company waiting we would have been more punctual.

Angel – (oh crap we’ve only been here for two minutes and Buffy and her parents are all ready at each others throats. I curse under my breath in Latin.) de ratuil prd graty cers me djgy ugfn kjivub nivbt hucdgr hebfa htlu udhb faead wefdsa waic pmatx icaxd qaws. (To my surprise and embarrassment Buffys cousin Sara answers me)

Sara – leswerve ve sia quarto ento mentro boired oya chidrichl ma blama shot tus de sia heml cate.

(Trying to explain my comment I quickly tell her in Latin that every time I’m around them a war seems to break out between Buffy and her parents. This of course makes her laugh and nod in agreement. Unfortunately no one else seemed as amused.)

Buffy – (teasingly elbows me in the ribs) Hey no secrets.

Angel – (pulling a chair out for her) Yes, my lady. (Thankfully this made her giggle and forget about the problem with her father, for now. Taking my own seat I prayed that the peace would last at least for a few minutes.)

Sara – So your Angelus.

Angel – (both me and Buffy exchange looks) Actually I don’t go by that name, I’m Angel.

Sara – Oh, sorry, it’s just that’s what Aunt Joyce and Uncle Joe called you.

Buffy – Well they shouldn’t have.

Aunt Sheila – (possibly noticing the tension and trying to change the subject) So Angel you speak Latin, that’s very impressive, it took Sara about three years to learn.

Angel – Oh it was part of my lessons as a boy.

Sara – Do you speak any thing else?

Angel – (Again I exchange a glance with Buffy who smiled and nodded knowing what was coming.) Celtic, French, Italian, Romanian, German, and little bit of Russian.

Mr. Summers – But he doesn’t like to brag. (His voice dripping with sarcasm) Ow! (Buffy had kicked him under the table, in case ya didn’t get that.)

Buffy – Opps sorry must have slipped.

(I couldn’t help but smile and shake my head at that remembering what she had always said, “nobody messes with my boy friend and gets away with it”. And you better believe she ment it.)

Aunt Sheila – (again trying to make peace) Wow that’s some thing. Where’d you learn all that?

Angel – Oh well I was born in Ireland, and after I met up with Darla we moved pretty much all over Europe, I just kind of picked up the languages as we went. (Oh hell I knew as soon as I mentioned Darla, Buffys mood would completely shift into bitch slayer mode, and she didn’t disappoint.)

Buffy – So where are all the freaken waiters.

(God it’s going to be a looonnnggg evening.)

 

 

Scene IV;

(Angels apartment about 7:05 p.m.)

 

(Well surfice to say dinner was literally hell on Earth, while I do believe her Aunt and Cousin liked me her parents were most likely plotting my death. When they weren’t bitchen at Buffy they turned on me. At one point her father got on my nerves so much that I even started to “vamp out”. I mean I literally felt my fangs come down. Thankfully though Buffy noticed in the nick of time and started to rub my thigh and whisper,…. well let’s just say it calmed me down. Any way it got bad enough at the end that not more then three seconds after dinner was over Buffy and me took off.)

Buffy – What’s the matter? I think you’d be over joyed to get out of there.

Angel – (flopping down on the couch) Nothing, I’m just tired.

Buffy – liar. (She sat down on my lap pulling her shoes off, I had already slipped off my boots and shirt which now lay in heap on the floor.

Buffy – was it really that horrible?

Angel – No, it wasn’t that horrible, the food was okay.

Buffy – Ha, Ha……. I really am sorry about the way my parents acted.

Angel – Don’t worry about it. (Kissing her gently) I think you deserve a quiet night to just relax and maybe play with your favorite vampire.

Buffy – (smiling very tesingly) You sure you’re not to tiered?

Angel – Does this look like I’m tired (kissing her very passionately)

Buffy – (slipping her arms around my neck and adjusting her position on my lap) Mum.. well in that case  ………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

 

 

Scene V;

(Dr. Hilerts office)

 

Dr. Hilert – And? What happened then?

Angel – (staring at the ceiling still lost in thought) What?.. Oh, we just…….

(Suddenly the door swings open and a young woman dressed in red leather pants, and a black halter top, with teased blonde hair strolls casually in looking slightly pissed off)

Buffy – Yes Angel. Tell her what happened then.

Dr. Hilert – Excuse me. But this is a private session, you can come tomorrow if you want to (but is quickly cut off)

Buffy – Oh but I’m hungry now. Care to join me in a bite lover. (Looking over at Angel expectantly)

Dr. Hilert – Angel?

Angel – (coming out of his daze) Buffy, please don’t.

Dr. Hilert – Buffy? But you said she was (again is cut off by Buffy)

Buffy – Dead? Oh but I am. See I was out patrolling last month when a vampire killed me….. Or should I say sired me? (Again returning her attention to Angel)  Honestly Angel, a shrink? I expected better out of you.

Angel – Please Buffy don’t… (But he knew it was no use, she swiftly leapt over the desk and grabbed the doctor by the throat holding her firmly with her vampire strength)

Dr. Hilert – Angel, stop her..

Buffy – (Looking very amused) Stop me. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, oh please. (Staring at Angel again)  Beloved if your not going to join me in a bite here then why don’t you go home. Willow went through all that trouble to bring us those kids today and you haven’t killed a single one. You’re really going to hurt her feelings. Now you go and dine with her and I’ll be back shortly.

Angel – (Looking very upset) Whatever you say lover.

Dr. Hilert – Angel! Don’t! (But even she knew it was no use, as she watched him leave)

Buffy – Oh I wouldn’t worry too much about him. You see he was just a little upset because my parents came by and yelled at him today. (Dr. Hilert is still try desperately to break Buffys grasp)  Oh, but not to worry I plan to put a stop to that. (With that, Buffy quickly breaks the woman’s neck, in a loud snap, then drops the body to the floor.) After all, nobody messes with my boyfriend and gets away with it.
