****************** �Cordelia and Willow.� Wesley asked. �Some where the sun shines all the time.� Gunn answered. �Florida or some hot spot in Mexico.� Lindsey answered. �Yeah I bet they sit around all day soaking up the rays.� Gunn finished off his beer. �Angel, Buffy, Giles and Dawn.� �Some where near a university.� Wesley answered first. �You always say that.� �Well I can�t see Giles in some backward small town.� Wesley defended himself. �Whatever...Xander and Anya.� �.........................� �They could be anywhere.� It was a game they played once in awhile, and that night seemed like a perfect night to play. They tried to think where the others would go. What kind of jobs they�d work. How they were doing. The game usually lasted as long as they stayed sober, that or when the beer ran out. **************** Angel stood on the empty pier again. He could here their voices in his head this time. Some of their words brought a smile to his face. Others only made him sad. �You were checking out my neck! I saw that.� Happy �I invited you into my home, and you attacked my family.� Sad. �When I kiss you I want to die...� Sad. �She couldn�t dress up like Xena?� Happy. �It�s a rock. I can�t wait to tell my friends.� Mad, sad. �If I tell you something do you promise not to bite me?� Funny, and a little sad. �Yeah? I hope evil takes MasterCard.� Sad. �I�m not allowed to have boys in my room.� Happy. He wanted them all back desperately; he needed them, more than they ever needed him. ************************** Willow could feel the pounding in her head before she fully reached consciousness. Her mouth felt like she had been eating cotton balls all night. Her stomach getting ready to revolt. Cordelia was in the same terrible shape. Laying on her stomach, trying to force herself back to sleep. She was almost successful until a brain shattering vision made her scream out. She hadn�t had one in three years, and she had forgotten how horrible they were. Willow was at her side when the pain ebbed away. She looked a little green, but also concerned. �What happened? Are you okay?� �Vision...Angel.� |
