Author's Note: I was just playing with this one cos I was bored.

Summary: I just thought it would be nice to put them some were else for a change!

She sees me! I'm frozen to the spot, I know I should put my foot on the accelerator and go. But I'm mezmorised by her beauty. The hot sun is beating down, threatning it's power, taunting almost. I should go! But her hair, her long golden hair, the pink lollipop she traces her pink lips with. A man goes to her, says something I'm not sure what. She seems startled, frightened even. This must be her watcher. I can see her looking at me past the man, the tip of her mouth curving up a little in to a half smile. Does she like me? Me? She isn't paying any attention to what the man is saying. 

Who is that guy that keeps staring at me? This old guy Merrick I think he said his name was, wants me to go and fulfil some sort of destiny and kill some vampires? Man what's that about! I not really listening to him any way, I'm too busy looking at the guy in the clapped out old car. He's kinda cute, if not a little dirty and he looks so sad. Long brown hair and choclatey eyes, wow a girl can just get caught up in him. I suppose I'd better do what this Merrick guy is saying, don't really know why, it just feels like I should. 

She's going with her watcher now. If I'm gonna do this, then I'll have to do it right. But I am not dressing like Whistler. I need the guy's help but were did he get those clothes? Something about this whole thing feels wierd, like it's been pre-written. I'll have to lay low so she doesn't see me. Her  watcher keeps barking out orders at her, give the girl a break will ya, she's never done it before. She did it she staked her first vampire. And she still managed to stay beautiful through the whole process.

I know I thought I was doing the right thing coming to the cemetary with this creepy old guy, but now I'm just freakin' scared. Oh God! There's a hand coming from the grave! Okay Buffy you can do this, stake through the heart. Where's the heart on the left or the right? Did I do it, I'm too afraid to open my eyes. Yes! I did it. It feels like there is someone watching me. There's that guy again, I know he's cute, but I want to know what his problem is. 

Oh no! She's seen me, she's coming over. And her watcher is not far behind. "Just what the hell do you think you're doing? Stalking me. Well I'll tell you something pal, there's laws against it, and if you don't stop creeping around after me I'll have you arrested."

"I...I'm sorry. I didn't mean too..."

"Buffy what do you think yo're doing running off like that. How do you know he's not a vampire!"

"Oh great Merrick now he knows my name. Are you a vampire?" He looks so cute he couldn't possibly be, maybe I was to hasty screaming at him like that.

"Yes."

"Oh good. WHAT?"

"I am a vampire, but I don't feed. I...I have a soul."

"Vampire's don't have souls. Do they? Merrick?"

"I have a curse. My soul was restored nearly 100 years ago." I can't believe I'm telling her this. I should just walk away now. But I can't.

"You're Angelus?" asked Merrick who seemed surprised.

"I prefere Angel." I don't know where this confidence is coming from, and the way she is looking at me.

"Angel, such a dreamy name." Oh god I can't believe I said that out loud. Now he's gonna think I'm wet, wait it doesn't matter he's a vampire. But he's just so hmmm.

She said that so sincerly does she like me? "Um you did really well with that vamp."

"Thank you." Oh she's flirting with me now.

"Can I walk you home?"

"Merrick are we finished?"

"Well you really should practise, but I suppose so."

"This way." Oh god he's taking my hand.

I really don't know what to say, I 'll ask her about school. "Are you a senior?"

Wow he thinks I'm a senior. "No I'm sophomore."

"How old are you?"

"I'm 15. How old are you? I mean how old would you be if you were you know human?"

"Almost 18."

"This is me." It went over far to fast. Will he kiss me? Oh God I think he's going to kiss me. His lips feel so hmm. 

I could stay her forever, kissing her, holding her. What's that light? "Where are we?"

"Um were in my school corridor. Okay thats weird."

"Hang on we're right by a window, the sun! I'm not burning. My...my heart is beating...feel."

"It is beating, what just happened?"

"Buffy come on we'll be late for class." Who's the redhaired girl, funny I think her name is Willow. This all seems familar. "Buffy you and Angel are always smooching before class, you know Snyder has it in for you we'd better go you'll se him later."

"Listen to the little redhaired chick mate, Miss Calender will have your guts for garters if you're late again." That blonde guy I know him, Spike and that girl that's with him Drusilla. I must be a senior her.

"Buffy c'mon Xander is saving us seats."

"Do you know what's going on?"

"No but just go with it. Meet back here after class? Hey kiss me before you go."

"K." This is my dream I'm human and I have Buffy.

END.
