Three excited girls were going through bride's magazines. They were chatting about dresses, food and the usual sex.

Willow giggled, "So Anya when do you and Xander want to start a family?"

Anya sighed, "We want to wait a couple of years."

Cordelia shook her head, "You being an ex demon can you even get pregnant?"

Anya smiled, "I had a check up. See I told the doctor that I had problems when I was younger. So she made sure. And she said all is good."

Buffy sitting near by bored sighed, "Babies the one thing Slayers can't have. It seems that whatever makes us strong keeps us from becoming pregnant."

Anya frowned, "What? I am quite sure I have seen a pregnant Slayer or two. Who told that?"

Buffy stared at Anya, "Giles told me. It was when we had that egg project. He told me not to worry about being a mother. When I asked why he said that Slayers could not become pregnant. He then went on to tell me that despite that fact I should still use protection to prevent other problems."

Willow laughed, "Yeah I was there. Giles was so red in the face and stammery. And this was right after you and Owen broke too. You had broke his rib for the third time while having sex. I was thinking like what kind of protection an armor suit."

Cordelia nodded, "Oh yeah poor guy. He was so sweet and he really cared about you Buffy."

Buffy sighed, "Owen my first big love. He was so dreamy and he was always reading me poetry. Things were great until we decided to umm make love. He was my first guy I had no idea that I'd hurt him and I didn't the first few times."

Anya shrugged, "I think that Giles is either wrong or lied."

Buffy shook her head, "Maybe but I was stupid with Scott and the only thing that happened was he got a concussion and a broken nose."

Willow smiled, "Giles is going to be away this weekend he left me the key to his place maybe we could do a little research."

Buffy shrugged, "Why? I don't date, guys are afraid of me. Ok Parker took a chance and he did survive but that was only because I was extra careful. He did say that his back hurt for a few days though."

Cordelia sighed, "I still say we do research. You might get lucky and find a man who can handle you."

Buffy smiled, "You are so right. I do need to know."

They all agreed to meet that Saturday around eleven at Giles' condo.

That weekend Buffy, Anya, Cordelia and Willow along with Tara met at Giles' condo. Once inside the girls glanced around trying to decide where to look first.

Willow smiled, "He keeps his closet upstairs locked."

Everyone looked at Willow. She giggled, "I was alone and snooping around once."

Cordelia sighed, "Good the visual I had was way too creepy."

Willow shook her head, "I never would have and Giles yeah right. Come on let's see if one of these keys fits."

They all trooped upstairs. Willow stopped in front of the closet key chain in hand. She glanced at the others. They all smiled and nodded at her.

Willow checked the door it was locked firmly. With the seventh key the door opened. Willow looked in. There were clothes, shoes, a guitar, several hats and in the back a small file cabinet. She almost didn't see it. There was a blanket thrown over it.

Willow shook her head, "My I wonder what is so important that he keeps it so well hid?"

Anya shrugged, "Who cares just open the damn thing."

Willow finally managed to open the top drawer. Files marked as business and finance. Sighing she checked quickly to make sure that they were what they claimed to be. Sighing she closed the top drawer and opened the bottom one. Old journals and parchments. She smiled this is more like it.

Willow carefully removed the things from the drawer. She handed some of the journals to Buffy. The rest she kept.

The girls all went back downstairs. Willow got out her laptop to help with any translating.

Anya and Cordelia decided to go through some of the books that were in the locked cabinet downstairs. Anya knew where the key was to unlock it she found it once while cleaning.

Tara was busy going through some of the usual books. Buffy concentrated on the journals they had been written by other Watchers and she found two written by Slayers.

Several hours later Buffy and Willow finally found references to Slayers having babies. Buffy read with a great deal of interest the account written by one Slayer. An Italian Slayer from the 15th century. Willow had translated it into English. The Slayer was named Aurora.

Aurora's story:

"Last night while walking through the cemetery I encountered a vampire like one I have never seen. He was tall with the blackest of hair and the bluest of eyes. One look from him and I was lost.

But he did not come to take my life. He came he said to make me his human mate. He kissed me then and I felt as if I was to faint. My Watcher Ari has kept me away from other men.

I agreed to meet with Sabin that night. All day I tired to act as if nothing was wrong. My Watcher fortunately was working on some papers that had been delivered early in the morning.

Finally I was able to leave to do my duty. Making sure I was not being followed I hurried to where I was to meet Sabin.

He was there waiting for me. He was every bit as handsome I remembered. I let him lead me to his lair. An abandoned villa on the edge of the city.

Once there we became intimate. He taught me how to be his lover. I have never felt so alive in my life. He is what I am suppose to hate and destroy. But I have fallen in love with him."

Buffy sighed and looked up from the story, "A Slayer in love with a vampire how ridiculous could that be? I have yet to meet a vampire I would even want to talk to one for very long let alone have sex with."

Anya snorted, "Vampires are very talented lovers. And they are strong. Oh hey there you go Buffy you need to have sex with vampires you can't hurt them."

Buffy glared at Anya, "Duh...hurt vampires is so what I want to do."

Willow giggled, "Well do both."

Buffy shook her head, "No thanks."

Buffy went back to reading Aurora's story.

"It is several weeks later. I have been meeting Sabin on a regular basis. My Watcher I think is becoming suspicious of me. He has been coming with me at night. I am so afraid that Sabin with harm poor Ari. I sneak out once we have returned home.

I am with child. When I told Sabin he smiled. He said that it was to be. That he knew that I was the one to carry his child. I told him that Ari had informed me that as a Slayer I could not have children.

At this Sabin laughed and told me that Slayers can have babies. But only by one worthy one strong liker her. That only a master vampire who was her equal."

Buffy looked up from what she just read, "I have the answer."

The others looked at her.

Buffy sighed, "Slayers can have babies but only if the father is a master vampire."

Willow nodded, "I just found something along the same lines. It took me a little while but a Slayer in Japan had a baby after being raped by a vampire or so the story goes. And in Egypt another story where a Slayer was put to death along with her baby and lover, a vampire."

Cordelia held up a journal, "Same here in Scotland a story where a Slayer was shunned when she gave birth to twins fathered by a vampire."

Buffy shook her head, This makes four Slayers who had a child by a vampire. I skimmed through the rest of Aurora's story she gave birth to a son. Sabin took the child it seems. The last entry was written by him. Aurora died a few weeks after she gave birth and her Watcher Ari was also killed."

Tara frowned, "That is probably why Giles told you that you couldn't have a baby."

Buffy stood up and began to pace, "This may sound totally insane but I have the sudden urge to find a worthy vampire and have a baby."

Anya sat back and crossed her arms, "Not really. Now let me think. Hmm which vampires do I know who might be the one?"

Buffy smiled, "Girls we have a mission to fulfill. Find me a master vampire to have a baby with."

Cordelia nodded, "What to look for. Well he has to be very handsome even not bad to look at when in vamp face. Smart, not like some of these creatures we have encountered. I would say that if he is old then maybe he should come from nobility. Money would be a big plus."

Buffy laughed, "Sounds good so far. So how do we establish who the winner is? And how do we get vampires here who might qualify?"

Anya smiled, "I can think of a few vampires. Leander he is over 300 years old blonde with green eyes. He was a Lord when he was sired. Trini he is fairly young just over 50 years but he is so dreamy. Comes from Porta Rico. Stephan wow he is tall with deep blue eyes, he also is very rich. Then there is Spike, yummy, smart but he has killed two Slayers. Oh then there is Angelus the Scourge of Europe. Tall with dark hair and deep brown eyes and charming. He is just under 300 years old and comes from Ireland."

Willow gulped, "I read about Angelus he is so scary sounding. I mean I had nightmares after reading about him and the things he has done."

Buffy shrugged, "Well we will check out the others and anyone else that come along first. We will leave him for last. As for Spike I think we will just forget him completely if he has killed Slayers I doubt very much if he'd want to have a baby with one."

Tara held up a spell book, "We can cast a spell that will make them come to Sunnydale."

Cordelia smiled, "Then once here we will test them to see who might be worthy. If not then I guess Buffy can stake them or we can just let them leave."

Buffy smiled, "So when do we get started?"

Cordelia frowned, "Next weekend. My folks will be leaving for a trip and will be gone for a few weeks. We can use the guest house in the back of the property to lure the vampires to."

Tara nodded, "Good that way Willow and I can make sure we have the spell right and all the ingredients needed."

Buffy smiled, "Good now none of what we just talked about can be discussed with anyone else. It's our secret."

They all agreed. Willow and Tara made sure that everything was put back in place. Tara and Willow even did a small spell to erase any trace of their being in the apartment.

Part 2

Buffy stood in the small living room of the back guest house. Cordelia had fixed it up a little. Buffy giggled lightly as she thought about what might happen here.

Willow and Tara came in, "The spell has been cast." Willow told Buffy.

Buffy sighed, "So how long do you think it will be before the first vampire shows up?"

Willow shrugged, "Depends on how close to Sunnydale the vampires are."

Anya smiled as she came into the room "I have also invited some vampires to town. They don't know that it was me who sent the invites. I used a friend of mine I can trust. Didn't tell why just that they were needed."

Cordelia came out of the bedroom, "Well, I have everything taken care of in there."

Buffy sighed, "Now all we have to do is wait. Then make a choice. I just hope I can go through with it. I get the creepy crawlies thinking about having sex with a vampire."

Willow smiled, "Yeah. Oh I did some more research and found out that the child should be normal and human."

Buffy frowned, "How did you do that without Giles finding out?"

Willow shrugged, "I poked around on the internet and when Giles was at work I went to his condo and looked through some of his books."

Buffy shook her head, "Bad Willow." she giggled then.

Cordelia suggested they all go up to the main house and watch movies and snack around.

Soon after they got settled in Doyle and Xander showed up.

Buffy sat back and sighed as she watched Cordelia and Doyle disappear upstairs. She knew that the Chases thought that Doyle was too common for Cordelia.

Buffy liked Doyle after she got use to him. He helped his cousin Willy run his bar. Also he would get mind numbing visions of impending doom. Which was to Buffy's benefit.

Buffy noticed when Anya and Xander left. Must be going home. Tara and Willow were curled up asleep on the floor together.

Buffy got up and went over to the window and gazed out. She had her doubts about the whole vampire baby thing. But ever since Giles had told her she couldn't have a baby she had felt a weird sort of emptiness.

A few nights later vampire number one showed up. The girls watched as he crept around the backyard.

Cordelia shook her head, "He looks like its been some time since he last bathed."

Anya nodded, "I know and I don't recognize him so he isn't one the ones I invited."

Willow sighed, "I did the power check he isn't all that powerful."

Buffy groaned, "Stake him or send him away?"

All said, "Stake."

For the rest of the week five vampires came and failed the test. Afterwards they were staked.

Buffy groaned, "This is getting old. So far not one vampire I would want to have a kid with even if he was human."

The following week some of the vampires invited by Anya arrived. They were a better group. In fact Buffy let two of them leave Sunnydale. One she was going to let leave but he decided to put up a big show and tried to kill her so he was staked.

Doyle and Xander knew the girls were up to something. For one thing Willy had heard a few things about the influx of vampires. But no matter what they could not get the girls to talk.

Week three only two vampires arrived and were quickly taken care of.

Part 3.

A long black cadillac stopped in front of the old mansion on Crawford Street. The driver turned to the passenger and smiled slightly.

"Spike what do you think?"

Spike shrugged, "Your taste in places to live stopped surprising me decades ago Angelus."

Angelus chuckled, "So this is Sunnydale, what have you found out about the place?"

He asked as he got out of the car. Spike jumped out of the car, "For one thing there is a Slayer here. A powerful one at that. She is the one who defeated the old Master and ah she is also the one who killed Darla."

Angelus paused as he opened the trunk, "Oh. Actually I should find her and thank her for that. I grew tired of Darla and her games a long time ago. I think it was around the time she brought that gypsy girl home. Damn near got me in big trouble with the girl's clan."

Spike snorted, "I remember that. If it hadn't been for Dru and her visions no telling where you'd be today."

Angelus smiled, "Speaking of dear Dru when is she joining us?"

Spike growled, "When she is done with her current new toy."

Angelus giggled, "Poor Spike come lets get settled in and then go see what kind of fun we can get into."

Spike glared at Angelus, "Don't pity me. At least I do have Dru when she is around. Tell me old man when was the last time you had your own personal companion and not just some quick fuck and feed?"

Angelus snarled at Spike, "I choose to be alone."

Spike only smiled as he followed Angelus into the huge old mansion.

The next night Angelus and Spike decided to pay their old friend Lorne a visit. They knew he'd recently moved to Sunnydale and bought a club called The Bronze.

Lorne smiled as he looked his new club over. L.A. had been getting a little too dangerous for him. So here he was in Sunnydale. With a new place and he was making new friends.

Lorne groaned when he looked up and saw Angelus and Spike enter the place. The last two vampires he wanted to see.

Angelus walked up to Lorne, "Hello old friend. Been some time since we last met."

Lorne grimaced, "Could of waited a little longer. So what brings you to town?"

Angelus frowned, "Had an urge hit me for some reason."

Lorne nodded, "Been going around this urge. Seems that vampires especially the older, stronger ones have all gotten the urge to visit."

Angelus leaned closer to Lorne, "What are you saying?"

Lorne shrugged, "Like I said some of the old powerful ones all have gotten an itch to take in the sites of Sunnydale. Most have never left and are now a part of the scenery."

Angelus smiled, "How interesting. Thanks for the information."

Angelus turned to Spike, "Come on lets take a stroll through town. I need to visit someone who lives here."

Spike stopped talking to a demon with scales and followed Angelus out of the club. Outside he caught up with him.

Spike: "I found out some interesting happenings."

Angelus nodded, "Same here."

Spike smiled, "Yeah I saw you chatting with old Greenie. Vampires coming to town. Think its a spell?"

Angelus shrugged, "If it is makes me wonder why. I mean surely the Slayer already has enough to do without resorting to spells."

Spike nodded, "I agree. So where to mate?"

Angelus smirked, "Got an old friend who might be able to help."

Angelus stepped into Willy's bar and looked around. He spotted Willy behind the bar.

Angelus strode over to him, "Hello Willy."

Willy nearly swallowed his tongue when he saw Angelus, "Look ah....Angelus....when did you hit town?"

Angelus smiled, "Last night. Heard some rumors thought I'd check them out. Vampires what's going on with them?"

Willy sighed, "Don't know anything. Honest."

Angelus smirked, "Now come on anything at all? Anything odd going on? No matter how unimportant it may seem. Maybe something to do with the Slayer?"

Willy shook his head, "Nothing. My cousin Doyle says that something is going on with the girls his chick is friends with and that includes the Slayer. Of course it could just be that some kid named Xander is getting married and to an ex vengeance demon at that named Anya and the girls are all excited about that."

Angelus nodded, "Fine. Look you hear anything let me know."

Willy nodded, "No prob."

Angelus and Spike left Willy's bar. Angelus walked around the downtown area looking around.

He suddenly stopped and looked around. He was standing in front of a place called the Espresso Pump.

Angelus looked the people over. He spotted her. It had to be the Slayer. He could feel the power radiating off her. She was the most powerful Slayer he'd ever encountered.

Angelus noticed when she frowned and glanced his way. She must sense me he thought. Not now my sweet.

Quickly he retreated into the darkness taking Spike with him. Spike frowned as he hurried after Angelus.

Back at the mansion Angelus turned to Spike, "The Slayer she was there. She is very powerful. She is also quite attractive. I must find out all I can about her."

Spike nodded, "I know I felt her too."

Angelus smirked, "I may also know what is going on with the urge all of us vampires have been hit by. But before I say anything I need to do some research. Stay away from her and her friends and family."

Spike sighed, "If you say so."

Angelus only shook his head as he went into the room he'd set up as his office.

Part 4

Doyle just knew that Cordelia and crew were up to something. What he had yet to figure out. He turned to Xander and shook his head. The big oaf was practicing ballroom dancing by himself using a how to video.

Doyle smiling, "Give it up man. With those kind of moves you might accidentally conjure something evil or else a dance vengeance demon might show up."

Xander halted in mid step, "Look I need to know how to dance perfectly for my wedding day."

Doyle shrugged, "Anya won't care how you dance at the wedding. It's your moves once you get to your hotel room that she'll be more interested in."

Xander grinned, "I already got those down the way she likes." he wiggled his eyebrows at Doyle.

Doyle groaned, "Please spare me the sordid details."

Xander laughed, "Fine. Want another beer?"

Doyle shook his head, "Nah gotta go over to Willy's. Xander have you noticed anything odd with the girls?"

Xander shrugged, "Not really just a lot of giggling and oh spending time at Cordy's. I figure it has to do with the wedding."

Doyle stood up, "I hope so. Well catch you later and remember no dancing."

Xander nodded, "Yeah later."

Doyle found his cousin Willy serving drinks to some sloth demons out celebrating. Willy looked up and nodded at him in acknowledgement.

Doyle hung his coat up in the back room. Next he grabbed a stack of clean bar towels and went back out to the bar.

Doyle smiled at Willy, "So what's shaking?"

Willy shrugged, "You ah know how all those vamps showed up? Well tonight the mother of all bad ass vamps arrived. Angelus and his side kick Spike were here earlier."

Doyle stared at him, "That news does not bode well. What's he here for?"

Willy shook his head, "Wanted to know about the other vamps. Asked if anything odd was a foot oh and he asked about the Slayer."

Doyle frowned, "Must of heard how tough she is. Last year it was Dracula that came to town. Proved just what a crazy magician he is before taking off."

Willy sighed, "I don't know. Maybe?"

Doyle picked up a glass, "Yeah."

A small group of valclek demons walked in. Willy went and got the jugs of green rum they liked. Doyle stood there pondering everything. The girls acting weird and secretive. Certain vampires showing up and now Angelus and Spike.

Part 5.

The next day Doyle watched Cordelia as she came out of the house. He was at her place sitting near the pool. Her folks were gone again. Cordelia was wearing a red bikini that left little to the imagination. She handed Doyle one of the glasses of iced tea she had.

Doyle smiled, "Thanks, Princess. So do anything interesting last night?"

Cordelia sat down, "Not really. Just sat around and gossiped and watched old movies on t.v. with the others. Xander came over late. He said you'd gone to work at Willy's."

Doyle nodded, "Yeah. Willy said that there are two master vampires in town. Two real mean ones. I have heard of them both. Angelus and Spike."

Cordelia choked on her tea, "Really. I think Giles mentioned them once. Pretty scary sounding."

Doyle nodded and eyed her suspiciously, "Yeah they are. Kind of odd them coming to town. Angelus tries to avoid Slayers. He has killed a few. But over all tries to steer clear of them."

Cordelia stared at him, "He has killed a few Slayers?"

Doyle took a sip of tea, "Yeah he likes to woo them and get them into bed. Then when he is done or had his fill of fun with them he feeds off them. See the blood of a Slayer increases the strength of a vampire. And with some that little extra never goes away. Now if I am thinking right he has killed and drank from four Slayers."

Cordelia stood up, "I need to make a phone call."

Doyle grabbed her hand, "Look Princess whatever game you girls are playing if Angelus is now involved it has turned deadly."

Cordelia frowned, "Let me make my phone call."

Doyle let go of her hand, "Fine but I am not joking."

Cordelia turned and ran into the house. She was shaking as she dialed the dorm number for Willow and Buffy. She got their answering machine so left a message for them come over a.s.a.p.

Willow was listening to the message from Cordelia when Buffy came into the room. Willow looked up with a slight frown on her face.

Willow: "Cordy wants us to come over she said it's about our project."

Buffy sighed, "Sure why not. Maybe some fabtablous vampire has arrived in town to sweep me off my feet."

Willow shrugged, "Yeah maybe."

About an hour later they were knocking on Cordelia's front door. Cordelia opened the door.

Cordelia: "Oh good you're here. Anya just got here a little bit ago."

Willow smiled, "Tara couldn't come she has labs this afternoon."

Cordelia shut the door and led them into the family room where Anya was sitting. Sighing she turned to them.

Cordelia: "Doyle was here earlier. He told me that Angelus and Spike are in town."

Buffy frowned, "I think he was near me the other night. We were at the Espresso Pump and I had the strongest feeling wash over me. I knew it had to be a vampire but one like I had never felt before."

Anya nodded, "He is very powerful. One of the strongest and smartest vampires I have ever met."

Buffy sighed, "So now he's here."

Folding her arms Cordelia sighed, "Doyle also told me that Angelus has killed four Slayers. That he likes to well have fun with them then feed off them. A Slayer's blood makes a vampire stronger and that in some cases it doesn't go away completely."

Buffy groaned, "Great just what I didn't need."

Willow frowned, "So whats the plan?"

Buffy shrugged, "For now we avoid him."

Anya nodded, "Good plan. Find out what he wants first."

They all agreed to just stay away from Angelus and Spike for now.

Part 6.

Angelus and Spike had been in town now for three weeks. During that time he'd been very busy.

He'd gathered a few minions from some of the smarter vampires that were already in town. He had instructed them to stay away from the Slayer, her friends and family. He had a couple of the older ones spying on her though.

Spike kept an eye on the minions making sure they did as Angelus said. The two who thought Angelus was full of it and decided to do as they please were made an example of.

Angelus chuckled as he finished reading the old leather bound book in front of him. So Slayer that is what you have in mind. Well, the game is now mine. You want a baby then you shall have one, mine.

Angelus stood and began pacing slightly. He was deep in thought. It was Friday and he'd been informed that Buffy was going to be at a frat party with her friends.

It was finally time for them to come face to face. He was ready and well informed of certain things.

Angelus hurried out of the library of the old mansion locking the door behind him. He went in search of Spike.

Finding Spike in the kitchen area Angelus shook his head. Spike was one of those vampires who still got pleasure from eating food. Oh there were certain things that he too did like a little.

Angelus smiling, "Spike tonight we are going to a frat party. I think it's time for the Sayer and I to meet."

Spike grinned, "Oh goody some of those college girls can be quite tasty."

Angelus glared at him, "No feeding tonight just try and keep a low profile."

Spike laughed, "Maybe I was talking about something else? But yeah sure low key that's me."

Angelus chuckled as he turned to leave the kitchen, "You low key that's a good one Spike."

Angelus looked down at the clothes he was wearing. He smiled slightly. Black jeans, deep red velvet pullover, black boots and a black leather jacket. Maybe not quite frat boy but damn he knew he must look good.

Spike was waiting for him downstairs. Angelus shook his head. Spike was in his usual black worn jeans, black t-shirt under a red and black striped shirt unbuttoned and his long black duster.

Angelus smiled, "Let's go."

Spike shrugged, "Yeah."

A little later Angelus and Spike stepped into the frat house. There was a loud noisy crowd in attendance. Angelus grimaced he hated being surrounded by so many humans. He paused as he felt the pull, she was there.

Slowly moving through the crowd of party goers he finally found her. She was tiny and blonde. She was wearing tight red faux leather pants, a black satin tank top and black high heeled boots.

Buffy was trying to find a way to get away from Riley Finn. He had been pursuing her the last few months. She found him boring. Then it hit her the powerful pull of a master vampire. She knew who it was.

Turning she saw who had to be him. He was magnificent. Tall, with dark hair and eyes so deep she felt as if she could drown in them.

Slowly she drifted towards him leaving Riley behind. Buffy had to know this creature. She had to be near him.

Angelus watched her approach. She was beautiful and had such grace. He could feel her power. She was the most powerful Slayer he'd ever encountered. She was worthy to be his mate.

Buffy stopped right in front of him. She gazed up into his eyes. Angelus looked down at her and smirked.

Softly Angelus whispered, "At last we meet."

Buffy smiled slightly, "Yes at last."

Buffy knew he had to be the one. But how to convince him.

Angelus knew what her game was. He was going to be sure he was the one she chose. He had to have her no matter what.

Angelus was the first to break the spell they seemed to be under, "We need to have a private conversation."

Buffy shook her head, "Yes we do."

Angelus glanced up as a red head walked up and spoke to Buffy, "Is everything ok Buffy?"

Buffy turned to her, "Oh, Willow yeah all is cool. Willow this Angelus."

Willow stared at the vampire. He was gorgeous to say the least, "Hi...I guess."

Angelus smiled, "Willow the name suits you and I am pleased to meet you."

Willow was taken back, he was friendly and polite, "Thanks...same here."

Spike stepped up to them, "Angelus we have some trouble brewing."

Angelus turned to Spike, "Spike may I introduce the Slayer and her friend Willow to you?"

Spike looked the tiny blonde over. So this was the mighty Slayer, "Pleased to meet you ladies but like I said trouble a pergath demon is just outside."

Buffy frowned, "Big spiny thing with pink eyes?"

Spike nodded, "That's the bugger likes to munch on people who drink too much they get a buzz from them."

Angelus growled, "They are very hard to kill they have a substance in their blood that makes anyone who touches it become catatonic for some time. So you can't get very close to them."

Buffy turned to Willow, "How about a spell to at least slow it down?"

Angelus was surprised, "She does spells? That's good."

Willow frowned, "Yeah I think so let me get Tara."

Willow turned to go in search of Tara. Buffy and Angelus followed her after Angelus told Spike to keep an eye on the demon.

A little later Willow and Tara stood on a balcony chanting. Angelus, Buffy and Spike were distracting the demon. The demon lashed out with his tail and knocked Buffy backwards. She flew into the wall banging her head soundly. Angelus growled deep in his throat.

The spell finally took effect and the demon fell it's knees. Angelus managed to get one good swipe in with an old sword he'd found in the frat house. As the demon's head fell from it's body it disintegrated giving off a foul smell.

Angelus dropped the sword and hurried over to Buffy, "You ok?" he asked as he helped her to her feet.

Buffy nodded her head as she reached back and rubbed where she'd hit it the hardest, "I guess. I need to go back to the dorm though."

Angelus sighed, "Come on my car is near by. Willow and Tara can come too."

Willow and Tara joined them just then, "I think I'll go with Tara make sure she gets to her own place."

Angelus glanced at the two and smiled, "Sure. Look Spike go with them I will meet you later at our place."

Spike smiled, "Sure thing boss."

He turned to Willow and Tara, "Come on now lets go and no need to fear me I have my orders to be nice and not feed on the pretty college girls."

Angelus smiled at Buffy, "He can be fun when he wants to and he will not harm your friends."

Buffy sighed, "Ok. My head is hurting a little."

A little later Angelus followed Buffy into her dorm room, "Why don't you lie down I'll stick around until Willow gets back."

Buffy smiled, "I just need to sit. My head is already feeling better. You know the whole Slayer thing."

Angelus nodded, "I do and I get the strongest feeling of power off you like none I have felt before."

Buffy shrugged as she sat in the middle of her bed, "I have been told that before. I don't know I guess after all I have lasted longer than most Slayers."

Angelus watched her closely. He smiled slightly he liked her. It was going to be fun getting to know her a whole lot better.

Angelus went over to her, "We need to talk but not tonight. You need to get some rest. How about I take you out to dinner tomorrow night?"

Buffy stared at him for a few seconds, "I guess that would be fine. What time?"

Angelus smiled, "Around 7:30."

Buffy nodded, "Sounds good."

Angelus went over to the door, "I think you'll be ok by yourself. See you tomorrow night and dress nice."

Buffy watched as he left. She rubbed her head. Must have hit my head harder than I thought I got a dinner date with a vampire.

Part 9

The next day all the girls were gathered in Buffy's dorm room. Buffy picked up a blue dress and held it up.

Buffy: "How about this one?"

Cordelia shook her head, "Not for a first date."

Buffy tossed the dress aside, "This is so stupid. Here I am the Slayer getting ready for date with The Scourge of Europe one of the most fearsome vampires ever."

Willow nodded, "I know but damn he is sexy."

Buffy rolled her eyes, "I guess if you insist." she giggled.

Cordelia held up a deep burgundy silk dress with small black velvet cap sleeves, "Now this is nice. Simple yet elegant. When and where did you get this?"

Buffy shrugged, "Mom gave it to me she got it on one of her buying trips. I've never worn it."

Cordelia looked the dress over, "It's French for one thing. Put it on I want to see how it looks."

Buffy took the dress and quickly slipped it on. It clung slightly in all the right places. Cordelia smiled in approval.

Cordelia: "Perfect. Now take it off while we finish getting you ready,"

A few hours later Buffy was slipping into the black high heeled slides that Cordelia insisted made her feet look sexy.

Cordelia smiled, "You look fantastic. You'll knock his socks off."

Buffy smiled, "Good. Well he'll be here soon."

At the mansion that day Angelus too was preparing for his date with Buffy.

Spike checked Angelus' tie one last time, "There you go all fixed. Going all out for the chit."

Angelus smiled, "Maybe but she is special for some reason."

Spike smiled, "Yeah well be careful."

Angelus took one last look at his clothes. A deep charcoal grey suit with a pale grey, almost white shirt. Tie the same color of the suit with small red dots.

Angelus picked up a long black wool coat, "I am off. Spike keep an eye on things while I am out."

Angelus pulled up in front of Buffy's dorm. He picked up the single red rose he'd brought for her.

At her door he paused he could hear several heartbeats. He smiled as he knocked. It was Willow who opened it.

Willow smiling,"Angelus hi, Buffy is almost ready. Come on in."

Angelus stepped inside. He looked the room over it was filled with girls and smiled. His eyes stopped when he came to Buffy. She was gorgeous. The dress she wore was stunning on her.

Angelus held the rose out, "A rose for you. It pales in beauty when compared to you."

Buffy blushed as she took the rose, "Thank you."

Angelus smiled, "Are you ready?"

Buffy nodded, "Yes just let me get my purse and wrap."

Buffy turned to Cordelia and winked. Cordelia picked up the purse and wrap and handed them to her.

Cordelia, "Have fun."

Angelus led Buffy out of the dorm room.

Part 10

Angelus drove for about thirty minutes before pulling up in front a French restaurant. He turned to Buffy and smiled.

Angelus: "Hope this place will do? Not much of a choice around here."

Buffy nodded, "I have never been here. Heard of it though." she was thinking my god it's one of the highest rated places in Southern California.

They hurried inside. Soft jazzy music was playing. A gentleman walked up.

"May I be of service?"

Angelus smiled, "Angelus Maguire I do believe I have a reservation."

The man looked at the small date book he was carrying, "Ah yes you do. Right this way sir."

Buffy felt out of place. She had never been to such an elegant place before.

Angelus smiled as they took their seats, "This will do. I did order ahead of time how soon until we are served?"

"Quite soon sir. Enjoy your meal."

A few minutes later the first of their meal arrived.

Buffy stared at the food set out before her. Angelus smiled and explained what it was.

Angelus: This is just the hor derves Saumon Fum� House smoked salmon served on potato pancakes and cr�me fraiche P�t� de Campagne."

Buffy took a bite and smiled, "Good."

Angelus nodded, "I am glad you like it." he was thinking she is so young and inexperienced it shall be a delight to teach her new things.

Buffy and Angelus ate more of the salmon. Buffy was enjoying herself. Angelus asked a few questions about her and her family. She didn't mind telling him a few things.

More food arrived. Buffy glanced at Angelus as the plates were put on the table.

Angelus smiled, "Assiette de Fromage, A variety of French cheeses with fruit Tarte. Something a little lite before the soup and salad."

Buffy laughed lightly, "Good thing I have an appetite."

Angelus shook his head, "I like a woman who appreciates fine things and that includes food. I sort of figured that with you being a Slayer you'd be able to eat a large meal."

Buffy nodded, "You got that right. I don't mention it much but I am always hungry."

Angelus smiled, "You have a high metabolism since you use so much energy fighting and healing quickly if you get injured. The power that makes you a slayer needs fuel."

Buffy frowned, "You know a lot about Slayers don't you?"

Angelus shrugged, "I have learned out of necessity."

The soup a simple French onion arrived. This was soon followed by the salad.

Angelus waited until the waiter was gone, "Salade de Michel Watercress, endive, Asian pears, pecans and bleu d'Auvergne tossed in Baynul vinaigrette."

Buffy giggled, "I like the way you speak French so easily. I had two years in high school and I still cannot speak it much."

Angelus smiled, "I can speak several languages, Latin, Spanish, Italian, some German and Russian and enough Chinese to get by. Also Gaelic but I grew up in Ireland and I spoke it even before I spoke English."

Buffy swallowed a bite of food, "I suddenly feel real dumb."

Angelus laughed, "There are things you know that would have me baffled. One's intelligence comes from more than book learning it also comes from life's experiences."

Buffy smiled, "And since you have been around for almost three hundred years that is a lot of living to learn from."

Angelus nodded in agreement as the main course was served.

Even though she had already eaten quite a bit the food made her mouth water. So far everything had been perfect.

Angelus gave her a quick smile, "Chateaubriand Pour Deux, Filet mignon for two, with mixed seasonal vegetables, ratatouille, parisienne potatoes and b�arnaise sauce."

Buffy took a few bites, "Angelus this is fantastic. I want to thank you. So far I have had fun."

Angelus smiled, "I too have enjoyed your company. It's nice to just sit and talk."

They ate in silence for a few minutes. Buffy kept glancing over at Angelus. She noticed he ate only certain things and not much of what he did eat.

Dessert was served.

Angelus smirked, "This is just a simple one, "Warm Apple Tart Served with Fresh Vanilla Ice Cream and Cinnamon and Almond Biscotti."

Buffy giggled, "What not in French?"

Angelus shook his head, "No."

Buffy sighed, "I hope I have room for it?"

Angelus smiled, "Oh I am sure you'll find some place to put it."

When Buffy was finally done eating she sat back and groaned softly, "So much food. But it was all good. Now I need to just take it easy."

Angelus laughed, "Well then a drive along the coast is in order."

They left the restaurant after Angelus paid for their meal. He helped Buffy get into the car. Buffy sat back and enjoyed the ride. Angelus drove fast and confident. He was enjoying the night so far.

Part 11

Angelus parked the car in an area over looking the ocean. Buffy smiled it was beautiful. The moon was full and reflected off the water.

Angelus turned to Buffy, "I have enjoyed myself. You are a delight to be around."

Buffy frowned, "Look Angelus if you are being nice to me just to get me in bed and then to kill me like you have done other Slayers."

Angelus chuckled, "You are a smart girl. But I am not here to kill you."

Buffy looked at him, "If not then why are you here?"

Angelus shook his head, "Don't play games with me little girl. I am on to you and your friends."

Buffy laughed, "Oh really then tell me what it is I want?"

Angelus smirked, "You want a baby."

Buffy smiled at him, "Ah so you have figured it out. So tell me why I should pick you to be the father?"

Angelus sat back, "You need someone who is as strong and powerful as you are. You need someone who is smart. You need someone who you can trust not to harm you or the child."

Buffy nodded, "True and so you think you can fill all those needs?"

Angelus smiled, "Yes. I like the idea of having a child with you. Buffy I am rich. I am well respected among the vampire society and as such I can protect you and the child. Also the Watcher's Council will be against the whole thing and you will need to be protected from them."

Buffy turned to Angelus, "You make a good case for yourself. But I still need a little time to think about it."

Angelus smiled, "I can wait. But not for long. I have no mate at the moment you killed my sire Darla. I am actually glad for that she had become a thorn in my side."

Buffy smiled, "I can believe that about her she caused me some major trouble she even attacked my Mom. I was just thankful I got there before she did much damage."

Angelus snarled, "She loved attacking whole families and making the parents watch as she tortured their children. Yes I did take part in some of the raids and did my own damage. My thing though was convents and nuns."

Buffy stared at him, "Nuns? You went after nuns?"

Angelus chuckled, "Sorry but yes I did I think it went back to my youthful years having to take my lessons from nuns and priests,"

Buffy shook her head, "I can so understand that. I hate school principals."

Angelus smiled, "How about if we have a few dates, spend some time getting to know each other?"

Buffy sighed, "I'd like that."

Angelus chuckled as he started up the car, "It's getting late need to get you home."

At Buffy's dorm Angelus walked her to her room. He gazed down at her and smiled.

Angelus: "Would you mind if I kissed you?"

Buffy smiled, "I think I'd like that."

Angelus leaned down and gently captured Buffy's lips with his. The kiss was sweet and soft at first. Buffy felt tingles all through her body. Angelus purred as the kiss went on. It felt so good kissing her. Feeling her warmth fill him. Buffy felt and heard the purr. It made her heart beat a little faster.

Angelus stepped back and gazed into her eyes, "Nice, very nice."

Buffy smiled, "Yeah it was." she was breathless.

Angelus sighed, "I need to go. I will see you later."

Buffy nodded, "Yeah later."

Angelus smiled, "Night."

Buffy sighed, "Night."

Angelus waited while Buffy opened her dorm room door and go inside before turning and walking away.

Part 12

Angelus walked into the old mansion. He found Spike entertaining a female vampire. Angelus shook his head at them before heading up to his bedroom.

Angelus chose a cd and put it in the player. He smiled as the soft strains of Chopin started. He was still amazed at how much the world had changed in his time on earth.

Angelus quickly changed into a soft pair of black sweat pants. Tonight had indeed been quite enjoyable. Buffy was a sweet young girl it was such a shame that she had to be a Slayer.

Sighing Angelus poured himself a glass of whiskey and sat down. Sipping on his drink he thought about the Slayers he'd killed. They were all dull and even a bit on the stupid side. All they knew was how to be a Slayer. None had been as powerful as Buffy.

Taking her as his mate would be a delight. He of course would not turn her. He wanted to have a child or two with her.

Angelus knew of a ceremony to bond them. A marriage ceremony of sorts. He had finally found a woman of his equal to be with.

A soft knock on his door caught his attention, "Yes enter."

Spike stepped into the room and shut the door behind him, "So how did the big date go?"

Angelus smiled, "It went good. Buffy is a delight."

Spike smirked, "So when will you make your move?"

Angelus chuckled, "Spike this time it's different. I have no plans to kill this girl. I plan on making her my mate."

Spike stared at Angelus, "Your mate? What is so special about this one?"

Angelus finished his whiskey and stood up, "She is special. Different. Very powerful."

Spike nodded, "Yeah, so when will this take place?"

Angelus smiled, "When the time is right. You will be informed since you will be there as my I guess, bestman."

Spike shook his head, "Fine. Just make damn sure before you do this."

Angelus shrugged, "I already am sure. Now go I wish to be alone."

Spike opened the door, "Oh Dru called said she won't be coming to Sunnydale she sees too many stars and wild colors that disturb her. Said she is going to Brazil with a chaos demon named Herman."

Angelus nodded, "In a way I am glad she won't be coming she could cause trouble."

Spike chuckled, "Right...well later."

Angelus poured another glass of whiskey and sat down.

Part 13

Buffy slowly got ready for bed. Willow had left a note saying she'd be at Tara's studying. Buffy was actually glad she needed the time alone.

Angelus was like no man she had ever met. Hell he was like no vampire she'd ever met.

So handsome and smart. He made her feel special. Like she was actually somebody. She would never admit it but he intimidated her a little. He was one vampire she would not want to get into a fight with.

Buffy sighed as she brushed her hair. He had some very valid points about him being the father of her baby. Things she hadn't really thought about. Like other vampires wanting the child. Or the Watcher's Council even being against it.

She was wondering if she even wanted to go through with the plan. Looking into the mirror Buffy smiled of course she did.

Buffy crawled into bed and turned off the lights. If she was going to do this then Angelus would be perfect.

Buffy sighed and touched her lips as she thought about that kiss. It had made her feel so tingly all over. And that purr from him was awesome. She knew it meant he was pleased or happy, like a big cat.

Buffy drifted off to sleep. She had dreams of Angelus. Dreams that were erotic to say the least.

Part 14

The next day. Buffy was filling her friends in on the night before. A knock on the door stopped the conversation.

Buffy hurried over and opened the door. A delivery man with a arm load of red roses stood there.

"Buffy Summers?"

Buffy grinned, "That's me."

"Good these are for you. Here is the card."

Cordelia helped Buffy with the roses, "Wow these are gorgeous."

Buffy read the card to herself, "Thank you for such an enjoyable night. These are just a small token of my appreciation for being so sweet. Angelus."

Buffy sighed, "They are from Angelus."

Cordelia smiled, "The man has class."

Willow giggled slightly, "You mean vampire with class."

Cordelia shrugged, "Whatever. So Buffy is he the one?"

Buffy grinned, "I think so. He wants to be so that is a big plus this way I don't have to convince him or trick him into doing it."

At the mansion Angelus paced slightly. When the phone rang and he was told that the roses had been delivered he smiled.

Angelus went into the library and locked the door. He picked up the phone and made a quick call he left a message, "It is time."

Angelus sat down. He looked up at the ceiling and chuckled. He had set a few things in motion to assure his making the Slayer his.

He'd wait a few days before calling her again. Give her the time she claimed she needed.

Part 15

Angelus watched as Buffy danced to the music. She kept time perfectly to the throbbing beat. Even though she was surrounded by other dancers she danced alone.Seemingly totally unaware of what was going on around her. Angelus knew better. He knew she was completely in tune with the crowd.

Buffy knew Angelus was there, watching her. As the music grew a little more frenzied she kept up. She began to move seductively, invitingly giving Angelus a show.

Angelus smirked as he noticed her little dance of seduction. He felt himself harden with desire. Slowly he went over to her. He placed his large hands on her hips.

Angelus pulled Buffy's firm ass against him. She could feel his erection. She smiled slightly and moved her hips slightly. Angelus growled softly in her ear. Buffy tilted her head back and gave a soft laugh.

Buffy: "Like that?"

Angelus whispered, "You can feel just how much."

Buffy slid around so she could face him, "Mmm yes I can."

Angelus smirked, "And I can smell how I am effecting you."

Buffy blushed. She had grown rather warm at his touch. She smiled up at him trying to hide how she felt.

The music slowed to a soft beat. Angelus pulled her close and they began to sway to the music.

Buffy laid her head on his shoulder. It felt so right being held by him. She felt safe for the first time since she had been called to her destiny.

Angelus took in her scent and warmth. He liked how well she fit in his arms. Soft and feminine but he could also feel the hidden strength in her muscles. No woman alive or undead made him feel this content and excited at the same time.

As the music came to a stop Angelus looked down at her, "Let's leave I want to be alone with you."

Buffy smiled, "Sure I just need to get my coat and purse."

Angelus followed her to where Willow and Tara were sitting. Buffy picked up her coat and purse she gave her friends a quick wink.

Angelus took her hand as he led her out of the club.

Part 16

As Angelus drove he played a soft jazz cd. Buffy sat back and enjoyed the music. She had never really paid much attention to jazz before.

Angelus parked in front of the old carnival area of the boardwalk. Buffy frowned as she noticed where they were.

Buffy turned to Angelus, "Why are we here?"

Angelus smiled, "Trust me."

He quickly got out of the car and hurried over to Buffy's side and helped her out.

Angelus offering his arm, "This way my lady."

Buffy giggled slightly as she took his arm, "Why certainly sir."

Angelus led her past the dark guard's shack to a gate. He opened the gate and led her into the grounds of the carnival. Taking her hand Angelus led her to the huge ferris wheel.

Buffy looked it over, "What is going on?"

Angelus gave a soft whistle and the ferris wheel's light lit up and the distinct sound of it's motor could be heard.

Angelus smiled, "Come I do believe it's our turn to take a ride."

Buffy giggled as Angelus led her to a waiting bucket. She saw Spike standing there. With his help they were quickly strapped in. He stepped over to the controls and started it up.

As they reached the top the ferris wheel stopped. Laid out before them was the town of Sunnydale all lit up.

Buffy sighed, "Wow. It's beautiful."

Angelus nodded, "I thought you'd like it."

Buffy nodded, "I do. I have to admit I am a bit surprised when you said you wanted to be alone I didn't expect this."

Angelus chuckled, "What did you think that I was about to sweep you off to my lair and seduce you?"

Buffy shook her head, "I guess. I don't know."

Angelus smiled, "When we do finally make love it will be a night to remember. I have my ideas as to what will happen.."

Buffy sighed, "Sounds nice and romantic."

Angelus chuckled, "It will be my dear."

Angelus reached over and pulled Buffy closer. She snuggled against him and sighed. They sat for a few minutes and enjoyed the view.

Angelus sighed, "The night is dark seduction. There is mystery among the shadows. Promises are made at night that during the day cannot be kept. The night has a passion all it's own. The darkness of the night has been my friend, my lover and there have been times when it was my worst enemy and I loathed it. It is funny I was born at midnight during a howling storm. It was near midnight on a cool summer's night I died. And again midnight when I was reborn. When human I did not appreciate the gentle caresses of the sunlight. It has been so long since I walked in the sun that I cannot remember what it is like. Now I do believe that even at night the sun has entered my dark world again. I have met you and you bring me the sun."

Buffy sat listened to Angelus' soft voice as he spoke. She could hear the loneliness in it. Tears sprang to her eyes. She now more than ever wanted to be with him to give him happiness and to chase away the loneliness of his existence.

Part 17

Angelus and Buffy walked slowly along the boardwalk after leaving the carnival area. They found a small diner open and went inside.

Buffy ordered a hot cup of cocoa. She was a little cold from the walk. Angelus asked for coffee.

Buffy smiled, "You are full of surprises Angelus."

He chuckled, "Am I now?"

Buffy nodded, "Yeah. You are not what I expected from all the things I read about you. Also most vampires seem so zombie like or else they brag about being the biggest and baddest vampire around."

Angelus sighed, "Many of the vampires sired in the last fifty plus years do seem more zombie like. I think it has to do with the modern way they treat bodies. It has been over a hundred years since I sired anyone. As for the braggarts they can be a pain and they give vampires even worse reputations."

Buffy giggled, "Can't have that....vampires with a bad rep. They are such nice guys."

Angelus smirked then chuckled, "Yes the pillars of society."

Buffy sipped on her cocoa, "You treat me better than any of the guys I've dated. Ok maybe Owen was sweet but he is a poet and it was high school."

Angelus frowned, "You have many boyfriends?"

Buffy shook her head, "No I broke Owen's ribs and bruised up another guy the one time we did it. So my own rep is bad but in the way that if you get too close to Buffy she'll put you in the hospital."

Angelus smirked and leaned forward, "I will take my chances with you. A little pain can be fun actually."

Buffy stared at Angelus, "Ohh...Ah...ok. If you say so."

Angelus took her hand in his, "You do not need to fear me. I will not do anything that you don't want me to. I will do only what pleases you."

Buffy blushed slightly, "Thanks."

Angelus smiled, "It's getting late do you want me to take you home?"

Buffy nodded, "Yeah I have classes tomorrow. Umph I have psych and the t/a will be filling in for Walsh."

Angelus frowned, "What's wrong with that?"

Buffy shrugged, "Riley Finn a pain in the ass. He keeps asking me out. When I asked him if he wasn't afraid of me he just said he figured it was all rumors and that he didn't care. Still he is so boring and I just wasn't desperate enough to go out with him."

Angelus chuckled, "Brave boy or maybe stupid."

Buffy giggled, "He's from Iowa maybe that is his problem."

Angelus shook his head, "That was not nice. But funny."

When they stepped out of the diner Buffy was surprised to see Angelus' car parked right in front.

Angelus smiled, "Spike brought it over. He was keeping an eye on us in case of any trouble."

Buffy nodded, "That's good. So Spike he is ok?"

Angelus shrugged, "He will do as I ask not because he fears me but because we are friends. I am his grand sire."

Buffy frowned, "Grand sire?"

Angelus nodded as he opened the car door for Buffy, "I sired a vampire named Drusilla and she sired Spike a few years later."

Buffy nodded as she got in, "Makes sense now."

Angelus closed the car door and hurried over to his side and got in. He smiled at Buffy.

Angelus, "Some vampires do run in clans or families. We take care of each other. When you killed the Master and Darla I became the Master of our family."

Buffy frowned, "Oh really. So I sort of did you a favor?"

Angelus shrugged, "In a way. Our family is not as large as it use to be. The Master being stuck underground all those years he was unable to sire any more childer. Many have died at the hands of Slayers or by other means. In truth there are a few in New York some in London and New Orleans. Spike and Drusilla along with me are the elders of the family."

Buffy sighed, "I never really thought of vampires as anything but pains in the ass for me. Of them only as evil killers. Creatures that needed to be destroyed."

Angelus sighed, "It's what the Watcher's Council teaches you. And they are not too far off some vampires do deserve to be destroyed."

Angelus pulled up near Buffy's dorm. He helped her out of the car. He walked her to her door.

Smiling Angelus bent down and gently gave her a good night kiss, "This weekend do you have any plans?"

Buffy shook her head no, "I don't why?"

Angelus smiled, "Let's go away. Leave Friday at sunset and be back early Monday morning?"

Buffy grinned, "I'd like that."

Angelus kissed her again, "Good. Later my sweet."

Buffy opened her dorm room door, "Good night Angelus."

She went inside and shut the door. Angelus reached out and touched the door with his finger tips. Turning he slowly walked away.

Part 18 Angelus turned to Spike, "Take care of things while I am gone."

Spike smiled. "I'll see to it that your orders are carried out."

Angelus smiled, "Good. Also keep an eye on Buffy's friends make sure nothing happens to them."

Spike nodded, "No problem."

Angelus picked up his bag, "I'll be back early Monday morning."

Spike grinned, "Have fun."

Angelus smirked, "Fun is what I have planned."

Angelus hurried out to his car. The sun had just set and he wanted to get away before anything happened to stop them.

Buffy nervously went through her suitcase again. Willow giggled as she watched her friend.

Willow: "Buffy you have everything you need."

Buffy shrugged, "I know but still."

Willow smiled, "Yeah going away for the weekend with a guy and not just any guy."

Buffy shook her head, "Guy is not how I would describe him. He should be here soon the sun is setting."

Willow smiled, "Yep and soon you'll be off."

Buffy nodded, "Now if anyone asks."

Willow stood up and went over to Buffy, "I will say nothing about where and with whom you are with. Spike said he'd help out if any nasties came to town."

Buffy shook her head, "You and Spike have become friends?"

Willow shrugged, "Yep, just friends. He hangs out with Tara and me sometimes. He's pretty cool actually."

A knock on the door made both girls jump. Willow went and peeked out. She grinned when she saw Angelus.

Willow: "Come on in she is ready I think."

Angelus stepped inside the room, "Hello Willow."

Buffy picked up her purse, "All set."

Angelus went over and picked up her suitcase, "Let's get going then."

Angelus and Buffy said good bye to Willow and quickly left the room.

Angelus put Buffy's suitcase in the trunk. Once they were both in the car Angelus turned to Buffy and smiled.

Angelus, "You look nice."

Buffy smiled, "Thanks. So where are we going?"

Angelus shrugged as he started the car, "It's a surprise but you will like it."

Sitting back in the seat Buffy got comfortable.
