Prologue

Buffy was making her weekend trip up too Los Angeles too visit her boyfriend, he had become human after facing Angelus one on one he still ran Angel Investigations but he was running a normal detective agency instead of a super natural one.

During Joyce's' funeral Angel stopped by and comforted her and they talked and decided too try again especially when Angel fulfilled his Shanshu.

She was going too move here her Junior year of collage and finish up at UCLA.

Buffy drove too the Hyperion Hotel she parked her car on the street and went in. Angel was in the lobby holding a bouquet of roses in his hand and wearing her favorite outfit his leather pants and his wine colored silk shirt and he also had a tan something Buffy never thought she'd see.

Buffy walked in and saw Angel wearing her favorite outfit with a bouquet of white dethroned roses in his hand she smiled and said "Hmm this is a nice surprise!" She looked over his dark skin and said "It looks like someone has been tanning!" Buffy said playfully Angel chuckled and said "Yeah I have been." "If your not careful you'll get skin cancer."

Angel went towards her he kissed her and said "I've missed you all week!" "So have I!" Angel handed her the bouquet of roses she said "Thank you their beautiful!" She said and took them "Only the best for you my love!"

They kissed passionately for a while when they noticed something in a corner, Buffy said "Angel what is that?" "I don't know let's check it out." They went towards the corner Angel picked up a flaky piece of skin and it dissolved Buffy said "Ewww that is so gross!"

"Tell me about it" "it looks like a snake shed it's skin." Buffy said Angel shook his head and said "No it doesn't look like snake skin. It looks like human skin." Buffy and Angel looked at each other. "I've never faced any demon or anything that could shed their skin." Buffy said "I know me either." Angel said. "This is really weird Angel."


Part 1

"Eww gross much!" Buffy stated and got a disgusted look on her face Angel looked at her shocked and said "You've been hanging around Cordelia too much baby. That sounded like something that would come out of her mouth." "I know it's so embarrassing."

"Maybe the Host would know what it is?" Angel said "We would have to sing though too get the information." "I know but what?" "Maybe we could sing a duet." Buffy suggested "Your a good singer though I'm not." Angel said Buffy kissed him and said "Don't worry it's okay."

"Come on let's get ready. Did you bring anything nice with you?" Buffy picked up her bag and said "Yeah I did."

She carried her bag and followed Angel up the steps too his room Buffy picked up another piece of flaky skin and said "Eww another one!" Angel said "Do you think whatever it is, is around?" "Maybe. Let's put this in a bag before it dissolves." Buffy said "In my bag theirs a plastic zip up bag." "What pocket?" "The one next to the main one," he opened it and took out the bag Buffy quickly dropped it in and closed the bag he said "We can show this too the Host."

"Yeah," They got up too Angel's room Buffy looked through her bag too find the dress she brought with, she found it and said to Angel "Will this be okay?" He looked at the dress and said "Yes it's casual and formal." It was the same dress that she wore the next day after the day that never was.

"I'll put it on and we can be on our way." They sat down on the bed and Angel said "Wait I want to return something too you." "What?" He reached over too the dresser between the two beds in the hotel room he took out a black velvet jewelry box he said "Open it."


Part 2

She did and inside laid her claddagh ring she said "Thank you!" "Will you put it on me?" She said giving him the jewelry box he took out the ring and slid it on Buffy's left ring finger "Theirs something I never told you about these rings."

"Back in my day and even today they were used as wedding rings for those who couldn't afford a wedding especially after the great famine." "You mean I'm your wife and your my husband?" Angel smiled and said "Yes, but only in Ireland not here in the states, which is another thing I want to ask you."

He took out a blue velvet jewelry box he opened it and said "Buffy Anne Summers will you marry me?" Buffy looked at the ring it was a plantium band with a diamond cut into a heart with sapphires on both sides, she smiled and said "Of course I will!" He smiled and kissed her passionately she kissed him back and wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer while he slipped his arms around her waist.

They pulled away when they needed to breath and Angel took the claddagh off and placed the engagement ring in it's place "What are you doing?" "I'm keeping the claddagh until our wedding day. Is that okay?" "Yes, it is." She kissed him again and he kissed her back and lowered Buffy onto the bed, she stopped him and said "Angel as much as I'd love to continue we have too make it too the Karaoke Bar," he wasn't listening instead he was focusing on her neck and shoulders he said "It doesn't even open until 5:30. We can go later." "Oh to hell with it!" Buffy said she giggled and brought his lips back too hers and their was no talking for a long time.


Part 3

That night after Buffy and Angel had spent most of the day in bed making love and feeding each other food they were finally getting ready too head the Karaoke bar and talk too the Host. Buffy looked at the plastic bag too make sure the skin was still their and it was.

Buffy put her red sundress on with white swirls she brushed out her hair and put her make up on and she was deciding what to do with her hair, Buffy tried some different styles and decided too just let it hang lose.

Angel came in wearing a black suit jacket, a blue casual silk button down shirt and black pants he said "Ready to go beloved?" She said "Defenently!" "Then let's get going. Hopefully the Host will have an idea about what this is."

Buffy and Angel held hands and they walked towards the demon Karaoke bar, they've been here a few times and Buffy didn't have anything metal and neither did Angel.

When they arrived their the guard said "Go through the metal detector first." They did as the guard asked and he said "okay go in."

They did and Buffy and Angel looked for the Host with the bag with the skin in it. They looked around and found him Angel said "Their he is."

They walked towards him and the Host said "Buffy, Angel good too see you. What can I do for you?" "Listen we found this in Angel's place." Buffy said showing him the skin in the bag. "Interesting." He smelled it and said "It's defenently not demon or human but something extraordinary. I think I know what it is." "Tell us?" "Not so fast missy you and Angel have too sing first before I tell you anything."

"Yeah we know." Buffy said "What will it be?" the Host asked "How about 'Where You Are'" Buffy said "We decided too sing a duet." "Okay go ahead."

Buffy and Angel went up on stage and the music started. Buffy sang Jessica's part and Angel was going to sing Nicks.

//Ohhhhhh ohhh
oohhh ohhhh

There are times
I swear I know your here
I forget about my fears
Feelin you my dear

Watchin over me
My hope sees
What the future will bring
When you wrap me in your wings
And Take me where you are
Where you and I will be together
Once again, we'll be dancin in the moonlight
Just like we use to do
And you'll be smilin back at me
Only then will I be free
When I can be Where you are//


Angel picked up the microphone and started singing when it got too Nick's part.

//And I can see your face
Your kiss I still can taste
Not a memory erased//


Buffy and Angel turned too look at each other and Angel took a hold of Buffy's hand and she started singing her part

//Oh, how I see your star
Shining down on me
And I'd do anything
If I could just, be right there where you are

Where you and I will breathe together
Once again we'll be dancin in the moonlight
Just like we used to do
And you'll be smiling back at me (You'll be smilin back at me)//


Buffy and Angel were now singing in perfect melody together everyone in the bar could feel the love between the two of them even the Host and the truth of the words they saw in the couples eye's.

//Only then will I be free
Then I will be free, so take me where you are//


Angel was now singing alone.

//Now baby there are times when selfishly
I wishin that you were here with me
So I can wipe the tears from your eye's and make you see//


Angel brought a hand up and touched Buffy's cheek as he sang later on Buffy would join him again.

//That every night when you are dreamin
I'm here to guard you from afar
And anytime I feel in love
I'll close my eye's and dream of where you are

Where you are

Where you and I will breathe together
Once again we'll be dancin in the moonlight
Just like we used to do
And you'll be smilin back at me (You'll be smilin back at me

Only then will I be free
Then I will be free

Baby I stil believe
Oh I gotta believe
I still believe
I will touch you that sweet day

That you take me there
Where you are (Where you are)
I still believe
I will touch you that sweet day


That you take me there
Where you are (Where you are)
I still believe
Whooooa, I gotta believe
I still believe
I will touch you that sweet day

That you take me there
Where you are, oh where you are!
I still believe
I gotta believe
I still believe
I'll always be waiting here

That sweet day (that sweet day, yeah!)

I still believe.....I still believe...//


The song ended and their was an applause following, Buffy and Angel shared a kiss she said "That was wonderful!" "You too." They stepped off stage and went towards the Host.

"So we sang can you tell us what we want to know?" "Sure. This is a piece of from a group of people called the skins." "The who?" Buffy asked "The skins their a powerful alien race." "Aliens? As in extra terrestrials?"

Angel and Buffy asked together "yes." "There's a such a thing as aliens?" Angel asked "Yes and the skins are the enemy of another alien race called the Royal Four. The skins have been trying to wipe them out for years and have captured some of the Royal Fours people." "Do you know the names of the Royal Four?"

"Only their human names not their alien names. Max Evans, Tess Harding, Michael Guerin and Isabel Evans. Max is the King and Michael is the Prince and Tess is Max's betrothed even though he's not pleased about it, and I've gotten a lead that Max is in love with a human girl named Liz Parker and Michael is in love with another human girl named Maria Deluca." "Do they know about them being aliens?" "Yes, Liz and Maria do as well as Alex Whitman and Kyle Valenti and his father Jim Valenti."

"Where can we find them?" "In Roswell, New Mexico that's were you will fine the Royal four and the skins and be careful you two!"

"Thank you Host." Angel said "No problem." Buffy said "Come on Angel it looks like we get to take a vacation." "Yeah come on." They took the skin from the Host and left.

Angel took a hold of Buffy's hand and they walked out of the Karaoke bar. "How long do you think this trip is going to take?" "I don't know, but maybe you should pack most of your belongings." "What about Cordelia, Wesley and Gunn?" "I don't know. Sorry we have to make this one visit so short." Buffy kissed him and said "It's okay, but I'm coming with you." "I know. Should we take your car or mine?" "Yours. Should we bring Faith?" Buffy asked "She's still serving time in jail. Okay lets go," they got into Angel's convertible he drove her too Sunnydale and dropped her off at the dorms.

"I'll be by later. Pack most of your things and I'll bring the bag you already have with me." "Okay." Buffy kissed him and said "I'll see you later." "Bye." Angel said Buffy went up too her dorm room." She took out her key and unlocked the door but the door was already unlocked she wondered why and walked in cautiously she groaned when she saw the very guest she didn't want too ever see again sitting on her bed.


Part 4

She hissed "Riley what the hell do you think your doing here!" "I've missed you Buffy." "Well, guess what I don't!" "Come on take me back we can go back to the way things were before." He got up and tried too kiss her but instead she kneed him in the groin and slapped him "If you touch me I'll kill you!" Buffy said in warning she secretly wished Angel was here too kick his ass again like he did last time and watch him.

This wasn't the reunion he was expecting he was expecting that if he came back Buffy would be all over him but instead she was looking at him like the most disgusting thing she had ever seen.

"Forget it captain cardboard I thought I told you I never wanted too see you again! Besides I'm a happily engaged women! See!" Buffy said showing him her engagement ring "Too who a millionaire?" Riley asked when he saw the exquisite engagement ring on her finger "Who do you think you dumb ass! God your an idiot!" Riley realized she was talking about Angel and said angrily "That freak!" "We've been back together for a few months he was here for me at my Mom died and so we decided to try again."

She hit him hard and said "How dare you and for you information he's not a freak as you call him anymore he's human and I'm truly happy! Now get the hell out of here before I kick your ass out that window! I would be eternally grateful if I never saw you again, I think you were the worst mistake I ever made you brought out the absolute worst in me and I'll never forgive you for turning me into a 'pod-Buffy'! I wish I never would've let you touch me!" Buffy shouted "Now why don't you go back too your commando thing in Brazil or whatever it was. You don't have a place here anymore! I don't need you I need Angel I need him to complete me the real Buffy not the one you knew. The Buffy that wanted too be your own personal whore, well she's not here anymore. He's the reason why I kept fighting all these years and he's also the only reason why I'm alive. Leave now!"

He looked at Buffy hurt and defeated in his eye's and walked out." Willow came in and ran into Riley she passed him and went into her dorm room "Buffy your back early." She saw her roommate and best friend packing, "Where are you going?" "Angel I need to do an expiation in Roswell. To defeat an evil alien race called the skins." "Aliens?" Willow asked skeptically "Yeah hard to believe huh were not alone in the universe. Anyway Angel and I need to go too Roswell to help another alien race called the Royal Four." "Okay." "Their good though. Well, I don't know how long were going to be their."

Buffy packed pretty much all her belongings and said "Bye Willow." "Bye Buff and good luck." "Thanks." Buffy left her dorm room and went back out too the quad too wait for Angel and their he was just pulling up Buffy got into the convertible and Angel said "Ready to go?" "Yes, I am, but how will we know who the Royal four are?"

"The Host gave me some description and pictures of course I had too sing again." He handed them too her she looked through all the pictures she froze and a couple tears trailed down her cheeks when she came upon Max Evans, Angel noticed and said "What's wrong baby?" She smiled reassuringly at him and said "Nothing it's just that Max looks a lot like...." "Ford?" Angel asked (sorry I couldn't resist) remembering Buffy's old friend from Los Angeles who was apart of a vampire cult "Yeah" he squeezed her hand he kissed the top of it and said "It's okay beloved I'm sorry about your friend." "I know he did a stupid thing but I lost him the same way I lost my mother." "It'll be allright honey." Angel said and kissed the top of her forehead "Let's go."


Part 5

Angel started the car up and they were on the road too Roswell, New Mexico driving through southern California and Arizona. They had too stop at a hotel a couple times.

It was the third day sense they left and they came up too a sign that said "Roswell, New Mexico two miles away." He saw Buffy curled up against him like a cat with her head on his shoulders and was asleep. He smiled down at her and kissed the crown of her head and he continued driving until they arrived in Roswell, he didn't have the heart too wake her but did anyway, he said "Princess time to wake up." Buffy's eye's opened and she looked at Angel and smiled "Hmm princess I like that!" Buffy yawned and said "Are we their yet?"

"Yes, were in Roswell now we need to find a place too stay and find Max, Tess, Isabel and Michael." "My first guess would be the highschool." Buffy said "Yeah I agree." Angel said "Let's find a place too stay before we find the Royal Four and their friends.

They found themselves at the Roswell Hotel and Suite that was near the UFO museum Angel said "This looks like a good place." "Yeah let's check in." Angel parked the car and checked into the Hotel, he asked for a suit with Buffy beside him, "Okay name?" "Angel O'Brain and my fiancee Buffy Summers." "Okay should I put this under your name sir?" "Yes," "Okay here's your key and your room is 312."

The hotel manager ringed for a bell boy and he came up and said "Yes." "Eric take this lovely couple too room 312." "Yes, Tina."

Eric got out a stretcher type thing and asked Buffy and Angel too put their bags on it they did and we went too the elevator with Buffy and Angel following Eric opened the elevator and they walked in and he pressed a button for the third floor.

As the elevator went up Eric said "Is this your guys first time in Roswell?" "Yes," "Well you two look like people who like too hang out." "What's the big hangout here?" Buffy asked "A restraunt called the Crashdown it's a business owned by Jeff, Nancy and Liz Parker." "Did you say Liz Parker?" "Yes, are you two looking for her?" "Yeah were here on a sort of assignment. As well as some other people."

The elevators doors dinged and the doors opened they walked out and Eric lead them too room 312 "Here is your room. The pool is opened from 8:00 A.M. too 9:00 P.M. as well as the tennis court. What do you think?" "It's perfect thank you." Buffy said "Okay do you need anything else?" "Where would the high school be?" Angel asked "How come neither of you look like High school students you both look more like collage students."

"Well, it's part of our mission. We need too find some students their." Angel said trying too keep the alien part from slipping Eric gave them directions too the high school. They got settled in and decided to take a nap before starting their mission.


Part 6

It was the middle of the school day, Max was in science class with Liz and her lab partner he couldn't stand too be near her without feeling betrayed after what he saw a few months ago it was a long time but it still bugged him.

Back at the hotel Buffy woke Angel up and said "Angel don't you think we should start are expedition." He streched and said "Yeah I know." They got up and changed their clothes and started towards the door Angel had the key and they left the hotel room.

They went out too Angel's car and got in and drove too Roswell High. Angel parked the car and they got out and Angel looked at the pictures of the Royal Four and their friends and looked among the herds of students. Angel saw a dark haired guy and girl talking and the girl was like pushing the guy away and the guy looked like Ford. "Buffy I think Max is over their." Buffy looked up and said "Talking with that dark haired girl." "I think that's Max and Liz."

Buffy said "Come on let's go find out." They walked towards the couple and Buffy said "Um hi are you Max Evans and Liz Parker?" "Yes, who are you guys?" Max asked looking confused "I'm Buffy and this is my fiancee Angel." They shook hands and they were trying too hide something Buffy noticed and said "Don't worry we both know who you are." Buffy said "How though?" "Well Angel and I are kinda weird as well, I'm a vampire slayer and Angel was a vampire with a soul and we fell in love with each other." "Another pair of Star-crossed lovers." Liz said "Well we use to be but not anymore were engaged."

"Anyway we know about your enemies Max the Skins and we know that Isabel, Tess and Michael are aliens too so does Liz, Maria, Alex, Jim and Kyle." "How did you know about all of us?" "It's a long story."

Buffy said "You see Angel and I are from Los Angeles and this demon named the Host runs a demon Karaoke bar in LA he pretty much knows everything about the supernatural demons, vampires, aliens etc.. and he told us everything and well Angel and I are both warriors for the Powers That Be, we both have super natural abilities and we are here to help you with the Skins."

"Who are the Powers That Be?" Max asked "The govern forces of the universe they communicate with me through my friend Cordelia Chase with visions." Angel said "I see well it's probilly going to be a long time until we can defeat the skins." Max explained, Liz butted in and said "Maybe we could show you guys around Roswell." "Good idea. Buffy you can come with me and Angel you can go with Max."

"Okay." Buffy and Angel looked longingly at each other and they kissed and Angel said "I'll see you tonight at our hotel." They had a hard time separating Max envied them and so did Liz wondering were they had gone.

They managed too finally pull the lovers away from each other and started walking once they were away from each other Liz said "Come on I'll introduce you too Isabel and Maria." "What about Tess?" "I hate her she ruined all of our lives. She's nothing but a Tramp!" Liz said angrily "What happened." "Well, we were all happy we all had someone then Tess came along and ruined everything. Max and I were happy and together until Tess came along and started rambling how she is Max's' destiny."

Max and Angel were at another part of the school and Angel said "So I noticed how you looked at Liz your deeply in love with her aren't you?" "Yes, more then I ever thought I could love someone." "It's the same way I feel about Buffy have always felt about her ever since I first saw her." "Yeah you two seem deeply in love with each other." "Well, we've been through a lot together we've even been through hell and back literally."

"Come on I'll introduce you too Michael, Alex and Jim." "What about Kyle." "he's not important." Max said a little edgy "you don't like him do you?" "How can you tell, the tone in your voice and the look on your face." "How do you know?" "Because I felt the same way about one of Buffy's boyfriends after me. I hated him."

"Explain about your relationship with Buffy."

Buffy said "Tell me about your relationship with Max, you love him I can tell you do." "Yes, I do and he doesn't want too have his destiny he wants to be with me but I can't." "Why not?"

"A few months ago Max from the future came along and told me about us eloping when we were nineteen and how happy we were until him choosing love brought disaster too his people." "What do you mean?" "The skins had killed all their people, because Tess was no longer apart of the group. It was so horrible Buffy I had too lie to him I remembering telling Max that night that I didn't want to die for him when he's the reason why I'm still here and the worst thing is that I had to make him think I had sex with Kyle when I didn't. The look on his face I felt so guilty especially at the look in his puppy dog eye's."

Liz had started crying Buffy hugged her and said "I know how you feel Angel's curse had a happiness clause that could destroy the world and when he got his soul back I had too send him too hell the look in his dark eye's it tore me apart inside."


Part 7

Angel said "What's wrong Max?" "I was just thinking about a few months ago I found the only women I love had sex with Kyle I had hopped that I would be her first but I was wrong." "Then this won't help any I was Buffy's first." "Your lucky."

"Well, I've had sex with many women in my life but Buffy is the only one I've ever made love too." "I never thought that sex and making love were different." "Well, they are I never thought they were until I was with Buffy, but I learned sex is basically just lust and a way too pass time but making love is different it's just being with the one you love and it's not just a physically connection it's a mental and spiritual one."

"That's amazing." Max and Angel arrived at the Crashdown and Max said "This is the Crashdown it's the big teen hangout in Roswell."

"We have a place like this too in Sunnydale called the Bronze both Buffy and I moved from Sunnydale too Los Angeles and Sunnydale is a lot smaller town then Los Angeles." "I've heard that Los Angeles is one of the biggest towns in America." "It is believe me." Max and Angel sat down at the counter and ordered food. "I didn't think their was such a thing as Vampires." "Well, I didn't think their was such a thing as aliens so were even." Angel said.

Buffy and Liz were sitting at a Java joint "so future Max told me on all this romantic stuff, we got married at the Elvis chapel in Vegas and it was the most romantic night of our lives." "Liz I think you should tell Max everything. That you told me," "but I'm not sappose too." "Liz do you want too spend the rest of your life feeling unhappy and miserable? I know how much you love Max and your denying yourself from ever having true happiness by pushing him away, believe me Angel and I experienced the same thing. I have a philosophy you want too hear it?" "Sure." "Carpe Diem." "Carp?"

"No, it's French for Seize the moment, as far as we know you could be dead tomorrow, life is short don't waste it, and believe me I know. My mother died a few weeks ago. When I was in high school my friends and I were all like a family. Xander was like my older brother, Willow is like the sister I never had and my ex-watcher Rupert Giles he's like my father, in fact he's more of a father too me then my actual father and Angel well he was my boyfriend."

"You mean your not in High School?" "No, I'm a sophomore in Collage. I really think you should tell him everything Liz I can tell he loves you." "How can you?" "He looks at you the same way Angel looks at me, like you mean the entire world too him, like I mean the entire world too Angel, all I'd say is screw what future Max said the future is yet too be decided Liz. We all make are own destinies."

"Then how come you said before that The Powers That Be or whatever controls yours and Angel's destiny" "Were warriors for them, and they decided too be on our side because we proved too them that were stronger together then apart and that's true."

Liz let out a short chuckle and said "Future Max said that same thing too me that the future is yet to be decided and that we all make our own destiny" "and he's the one who told you too make present Max fall out of love with you?" Buffy said curiously "Well yeah. Your lucky you and Angel use to be star crossed lovers and now your engaged."

"Well we've had are share of bad times in our relationship, it seemed like everytime we were happy something always got thrown in the way of our happiness, like a couple Thanksgivings ago I went too visit Angel well not exactly visit, I thought I was their for only five minutes but I was actually there for twenty-four hours and fifteen minutes, he was human after fighting a Mohra demon he was human and we were so happy together Angel thought that the demon was dead but he came back too life and he gave it all up just for me too stay alive."

"Wait a minute Angel had the one thing he wanted in his natural life and he gave it back just for you too stay alive." "Yeah, that's how much he loves me that he's willing too sacrifice something like that. He thinks I don't know but I do, and I'm planing on telling him."

At the Crashdown.......

Max and Angel were talking about their relationships. "It sounds like you and Buffy have faced more problems then Liz and I have." "It's true we have. It seems like everytime we were happy something always ruined are happiness." "Like the Mohra demon when you were human and he came back too life?"

"Yes, Exactly things like that." Angel said

Buffy had finally convinced Liz too go after Max. Liz came into the crashdown, she came up too Max and said "Um hi, can I talk too you Max?" Angel said when Liz was looking at him and said "Alone please?" "I think I'll just go look for Buffy." Angel got up and Liz said "She's sitting at a table." Angel nodded and sat up, Max said "What do you want too talk to me about?" "I have a lot of things too tell you, can we go take a walk in the park?" "Sure come on." Max said they walked out of the crashdown.

Angel found the table Buffy was at she smiled as she watched Max and Liz leave he said "What's going on in that beautiful head of yours?" Angel said sitting down at the both. Buffy leaned in towards Angel and said "I just played match maker!" "What do you mean?" Angel asked taking her hands "Liz told me everything about a visit from Max of 2014, she had to break Max's' heart in order too get him too fall out of love with her or else they would face the end of the world." "Oh great!" "Yeah and I convinced her too prasue her soul mate." Angel picked up the menu and said "What would you like to eat beloved?" "I think it's time for you too try some new foods they got, that they didn't have a lot of back in your day, you know since you can taste now."

They ordered there food and Buffy said "Angel I remember everything from Thanksgiving. About you being human us being happy together everything." Angel couldn't stop the smile that spread across his face he sat up and moved too the bench next too hers and placed his arm around her she took a hold of his hand and they held hands Angel said "I'm glad Buffy you have no idea how hard that memory has become for me too carry alone."

"I can imagine so if I had too carry those memories alone for practically two years it would kill me. I can't believe you had the strength to do that?" "I almost didn't." Angel said truthfully running his fingers through her silky blonde tresses and nuzzled her nose "if I had woken up with you one more morning then I wouldn'tve been able too go through with it." Angel said and kissed her forehead, she smiled and rested her head on his chest.


Part 8

Max and Liz were walking through the park he said "So what did you want too tell me?" "I didn't really have sex with Kyle Max." He looked shocked and pleased "Liz I don't understand." "Well, when you saw that it was a fake and everything I said too you it wasn't true."

"Liz explain this too me I don't understand." "Well, it's kinda hard to explain. You from 2014 came too me at first I thought it was Nasado or the shape shifter but then he assured me that it was him, anyway he told me about how in the future you chose love over destiny and as a result it causes the end of the world literally, because Tess was no longer apart of the group."

"Oh God your kidding right?" "No," "I still don't want too chose my destiny over you, I love you Liz, and I don't want too spend the rest of my life being miserable and being with someone I don't love."

"Well, if you don't want your enemies too win their has too be a way too keep her in the group.." "Liz I know your trying to help, but I can't fight my feelings for you anymore."

He kissed her Liz didn't flinch she just let him and wrapped her arms around his neck and the visions flashed through them they both saw all the memories of their times together when they pulled away from each other Liz said "I miss that." "I know I could feel it and we'll figure out a way too keep Tess around and for us to be together." "I know. Even though I think that Kyle is in love with Tess and vise versa."

Max smiled and said "Well that's good and I think I can tell that too from when we were in Vegas last week." Liz kissed Max he kissed her back passionately as the visions flashed before their eye's like a movie.

"What caused you too change your mind?" "Let's just say I got advice from someone who's firmiliar with this territory." Liz said cryptically, Max smiled and said "Buffy?" "Yup!" "Remid me too thank her a thousand times." Liz giggled and Max put his arm around her and they walked off.

Max and Liz walked back too the crashdown and saw their new friends chatting and sharing a pizza and shake.

Buffy and Angel talked for a while until Angel's cell phone went off he reached into his duster pocket and brought out a cell phone.

Angel said "Hello?" "Angel." "Hay Cordelia," Buffy said "Angel what is it?" "Emergency. What is it Cordelia?" "Where the hell are you?" "Roswell, New Mexico." "What are you doing their?" "Oh geez taking a vacation without us."

"I'm sorry but it was an emergency trip." "Well, I had a vision Angel you and Buffy need to come back too Sunnydale." "What did you see?" "Darla disobeyed your orders and returned too Los Angeles, she's causing a lot of trouble." "Okay Buffy and I will take care of her. Thanks." Angel closed his cellphone Buffy said "Who was it?"

"It was Cordelia, were needed in LA I told Darla never to return too Los Angeles but she did." "Oh good I want too kick some Darla ass." Angel laughed and said "I figured," he turned towards Max and Liz and said "We have to go. If you guys need help with the skins just call."

Max asked "What's your number?" Angel put down both numbers his company and his cell number." Angel paid the tip and said "It was nice too meet you two." "You two." Buffy said "I hope things work out between you two."

"Thanks Buffy, We owe you a big one for putting us back together and preventing us from being miserable for the rest of our lives." "No problem." Buffy said.
