Chapter One: Return and Introductions
*Highlighted sentences above are what are covered in this chapter.*
~*--*~
1575 A.D. Somewhere where
"Master, please!"
"You have failed me for the last time, Genie!" a man yelled.
"No, please Master, give me one more chance!" Buffy pleaded.
"No more chances, I no longer am in need of your services, go back to your
bottle!" the man ordered. Buffy started to disappear into her
bottle. Once she disappeared completely, the man took the bottle, rode
out to the desert on his horse and dropped the bottle there.
"May God help whoever finds this bottle," were the man's final words
before taking off again into the distance.
~*--*~
2003 A.D.
"Faith, behind you!" A brunette-haired girl threw her leg back
to kick the vampire behind her away. The man who called out to her was
fighting a female vampire with black hair. The wind picked up and the
sand started to blow around.
"Angel we gotta here, fast!" Faith said taking out a stake.
"I…know…that," he growled, attempting to fight off the vampire.
He managed to throw her over onto the ground and put the wooden stake in his
hand through her chest. She immediately turned to dust. His duster
swirling in the wind, he shielded his eyes with his arms and struggled towards
Faith. Faith was able to wrap her arm around the vampire's neck and while
he struggled, she staked him clean through his heart.
"Come on!" Faith yelled and started running towards Angel's
car. While Angel was running he tripped on something. A
bottle. Angel picked it up and brought it with him back to the car.
"Drive, man!" Angel shoved the keys into the ignition and pushed his
foot down on the gas pedal as hard as he could.
~*--*~
Giles' House later that night…
"…you make them sound like very powerful demons," Xander Harris said,
listening to Angel and Faith's account of their fight.
"They were, you know," Faith said to him. Angel was sitting on
the couch holding the bottle that he found in his hand.
*inside the bottle*
(A/N: Let's just say genies can think aloud in their bottles and can only keep
their thoughts
in their minds.)
'Oh please, rub the bottle Master Jacobs,' Buffy thought. She was sending
out little energy vibes to the person who she thought was her last Master, Mr.
Jacobs.
*back outside the bottle*
Angel felt a small tingling sensation from holding the bottle. 'Maybe
it's just me' he wondered.
"Angel? Are you all right?" Anya had been waving her hand in his face
for the past minute or two.
"Sorry, I…uhh…zoned out there for a moment," Angel made up on the
spot. "Actually," he said looking at his watch, "I'd
better go, it's getting late." Angel got up, taking the bottle with
him.
"See ya tomorrow, A," Faith said, punching his shoulder.
"Ow!" Angel grabbed his shoulder where Faith punched it.
"You never cease to hurt me." He smiled and left.
"Does anyone else think he was way too 'Mr. Broody'?" Cordelia broke
the silence.
"He did seem a bit…well…erm…off," Giles thought, taking off his
glasses to clean them.
~*-The Mansion on Crawford Street-*~
*inside the bottle*
Buffy was rolling around from…she didn't even know what! 'Stop rolling me
around and rub the bottle, Master Jacobs!' The energy vibes she sent out
were getting stronger as she got more aggravated.
*outside the bottle*
Angel got out of the car, roughly taking the bottle with him. The bottle
shocked him. "Ow!" he yelled, throwing the bottle to his other
hand and looked at what damage the bottle might have done. Bit of red,
but that's about it. Angel went inside to his bedroom and put the bottle
on the side dresser next to his bed.
*inside the bottle*
'DON'T JUST NOT DO ANYTHING! RUB THE GOD DAMN BOTTLE!!!' she yelled in
her mind. This time a yellow wave a light flashed through her.
*outside the bottle*
After Angel took his shirt off, he saw the bottle flash a bright yellow, or
maybe it was his imagination. Slowly moving his hand towards bottle, he
looked at it with a heavy amount of curiosity. Taking it lightly in his
hands, he scanned it all around and thought he saw something engraved in it that
was very dusty. Using his right hand, he rubbed the area lightly, but
when he saw that would work, he rubbed harder.
*inside the bottle*
'SWEET GLORY ALLEUIA!' Buffy smiled as she started to disappear.
*outside the bottle*
Pink smoke began to emerge from the bottle. Angel dropped on the bed,
surprised because he didn't expect that to happen. Within a few seconds a
woman was lying on his bed beaming at him.
"Master, it's about time you let me o…you're not my Master,
unless…you…you…"
"Who are you?" was Angel's first question.
"Me? Oh…" she laughed,"I'm a genie; Buffy's my name, now may I
ask you two questions?"
"Sure, go ahead."
"Who are you? And did you rub my bottle?"
"I'm…uhh…Angel and…uhh…yes I…rubbed your bottle," he looked at the
bottle on the bed, "You're a genie, B...Buffy?"
"Yes, I am…Master," she giggled at the end. "I can give
you anything you want."
"You know, you don't have to call me Master," Angel said to her.
"Oh, I but I must, Master, it's a part of the rules of a genie,"
Buffy said. Suddenly, a demon broke into the room.
"You shall die, Angelus," the thing screamed. Angel began to
fight it but with one swift blow, the demon threw him against the back
wall. Buffy screamed. The demon noticed her.
"You're pretty thing, maybe I'll have to take you with me," the demon
said coming over to Buffy. Suddenly, Buffy gathered her courage.
"NOBODY HURTS MY MASTER!" she said, using her powers to burn the
demon. It screamed as it burned.
"You have a genie, Angelus? You know demons and genies are immortal
enemies! You shall pay!" were the demon's last words before he was ash on
the floor.
"But I'm not exactly a demon am I?" Angel sighed as Buffy looked at
him.
"Master, you're a…a…demon?"
"Well…ow…to be honest, I am a vampire, but I'm different," Angel said
to her.
"Different how, Master?"
"Well, you see, I have a soul," Angel admitted to her.
"Oh, well in that…"
"ANGEL!" someone screamed from the foyer. The person along with
a bunch of other people ran into the bedroom. It was the Scoobies.
"Oh my God, IT KILLED ANGEL!" Faith exclaimed running over to the
dust and picking up the dust remains.
"If you're looking for me, I'm right here," Angel said giving a
little wave to them.
"Angel, how did you…who is that?" Cordelia asked.
"Good Lord, it's a genie, and not just any genie," Giles smiled as he
thought of all the research he could do.
"You've heard of…"
"Her name is Buffy," Angel cut Buffy off.
"Master," she bit her lower lip, "he's heard of me!
Everyone always says that genies don't exist but this man knows they do, and
he's heard of me!" Buffy got all jumpy and excited.
"Buffy, calm down, it's alright; can I just introduce you to everyone and
then you can talk to the man who knows about you?" Angel half-laughed.
"Yes, Master,"
"What's with the Master thing?" Faith asked.
"According to…"
"Giles! Let me introduce her!" Angel interrupted, half-smiling.
"Buffy, this is Faith; she's a vampire slayer,"
"Hey, B how's it goin'?" Faith asked and Buffy smiled in reply.
"This is Giles, Faith's Watcher," Angel introduced.
"You have to sit down with me sometime and talk to me about what it's like
being a genie, I heard their…"
"Giles, can you…um…save it for later?" Angel asked.
"Oh, um, yes of course," Giles asked.
"Thanks," Angel continued. "This is Xander Harris and his
soon-to-be wife Anya,"
"Anya?! As in Anyanka?!"
"Yep, that'd be me…BUFFY! I remember you, no offense but your Master
was horrible," Anya commented.
"Have you cursed anyone lately?" Buffy smiled.
"Well, I'm not a vengeance demon anymore, I'm human now, but the last
curse I did was a girlfriend who wanted to reduce the size of her
boyfriend's…."
"ANYA!" the whole gang yelled at the same time.
"Sorry…" Anya shrugged back.
"It's good to see you again, Anyanka. We need to talk and catch up, it's
been a long time," Buffy said.
"And I'm Cordelia Chase," Cordelia said immediately shaking Buffy's
hand, "Can you possibly be able to make me a movie star."
"If that's what Master Angel wants," Buffy said.
"You know, you can throw the rules out the window, you really don't have
to call me Master," Angel begged. He walked over to
"Hey, it's must be really cool to be a genie,"
"Hey! We have to take Buffy shopping sometime!" Cordelia realized and
practically yelled.
"And it starts," Xander threw his hands up in the air.
"Buffy needs to learn a lot of things, I don't think she's been out of her
bottle in a very long time," Angel said taking Buffy's hand. At that
moment, their eyes connected to each others.
"I think we better go, it's getting late,"
"Yeah, and plus I'm hungry," Xander commented.
"Xander, you're always hungry," Anya gave him a *look*.
"But, maybe I'm not hungry for regular food," Xander smirked back.
"Oh God, gross out quota filled for the day, thank you very much,"
Cordelia interrupted.
"Guys, we were leaving!"
"Hey Red, come on!" Faith shouted.
