Part 1
Summers' House
2005
Buffy Summers surveyed her almost empty bedroom and was filled with excitement
that she was leaving for LA. Her and Willow were moving in with their
friend from high school Cordelia Chase. Cordelia Chase had been a major
witch at Sunnydale High until she dated Xander and that went sour.
"Buffy, get your butt down here!" Xander shouted from downstairs. "Coming,
guys." Buffy shouted and went downstairs to where Xander, Willow, and Anya
were waiting for her. Xander enveloped her in a hug and said, "I'm
gonna miss you and Willow."
Willow and Buffy went back upstairs after they said their goodbyes to Xander and
Anya to finish packing up some photos and other keepsakes. "Who's
this?" Willow asked whistling. "Man. I haven't seen that
picture in ages." Buffy said. "Who is it?" Willow asked. "His
name's Angel. We were dating and getting serious. Sadly me and mom
moved here and lost touch." Buffy said.
"Do you think he still lives in LA?" Willow asked hopefully. "Don't
know. Besides I'm dating Riley." Buffy said disgustedly. "Dump
him. Everyone can tell you don't love him, except him and your mom."
Willow said. "You're right. I'm telling him tonight." Buffy
said. "Where is he?" Willow asked. "Bronze." Buffy said.
The Bronze
9:30pm
"Isn't that Riley over there?" Willow asked. "Yep. Well,
well looks like he has a new girlfriend." Buffy said. "Where are you
going?" Willow asked. Buffy didn't answer she walked right up to Riley
and said, "Riley it's over," and left with Willow. At the house they
heard Riley calling to them, "Buffy wait. Let me explain, please.
She's just a friend." Buffy turned around and said, "Riley I don't
care. I was coming there to tell you it was over. I don't love you
like you want me to. Just deal with it." Riley left and went back
to the Bronze and met up with the girl and started making out with her.
Part 2
The Next Morning

"Buffy are you coming down or what?" Xander yelled up the stairs. "Hold
on Xander." Buffy said checking to be sure she packed everything. Buffy
walked down the stairs with more photo albums and her music, "I can't
believe I almost forget these." Willow looked up and said, "Yeah.
We must have forgotten to pack them." Xander looked at them and said, "Ready?"
After they nodded they got in the '99 Ford Explorer and drove to LA.
Angel Investigations
11:30
"Guys my roommates are coming in soon, could you tell them I went to pick up
some coffee?" Cordelia asked sweetly. "Sure thing Princess." Doyle
said. "Thanks." Cordelia said kissing him bye. Angel
looked up and grinning shook his head.
Ten minutes later Willow walked in and called out, "Excuse me. Is anyone
here?" Angel came out and said, "Can I help you." Willow
smiled sweetly and said, "Do you know where Cordelia Chase is?" Angel
realized this was Cordelia's new roommate, "She went to pick up some
coffee. She should be back in a few minutes."
"Thanks. Guys she'll be back in a few minutes." Willow
shouted. Cordelia walked in followed by Buffy and Xander. "Jeez
Willow shout in my ear why don't ya. Oh sorry. Angel this is
Willow and Buffy. Oh yeah, this is Xander."
"Actually Cordy me and Buffy have met. How are you?" Angel
asked. "Good." Xander walked up with the cell phone and said,
"Buffy it's Riley." Buffy groaned and said, "Hi Riley. Yes,
I'm fine. No, don't come here. I said no. Riley we broke
up. Yes it's you, now leave me alone. Because I've had it.
It's over Riley."
Xander looked at her and said, "Why did you do that?" Buffy looked at
him and said, "He's been bugging me since 2 months ago. Besides he was
making out with some trashy brunette." Xander shut up and Cordy asked,
"I thought you were joking about Riley being a dork. Guess not. How do you two know each other?"
"We dated in high school." Buffy said. "Oh, so this is the high
school sweetheart." Cordy said. "How do you know Buffy, Cordelia?"
Angel asked. "Sunnydale High. We survived living on the Hellmouth,
with Snyder as principal. We weren't friends until I started dating
Xander and if you mention it ever I'll have to kill you." Cordy threatened.
"Hey Princess." Doyle said entering the room and kissing Cordelia. "Who's
the guy Cordy?" Willow asked. "Oh sorry. Buffy, Willow this is
Doyle my boyfriend." Cordy said smiling and looking at him in adoration.
"Princess?" Doyle asked. "Yes." Cordy answered. "Who's
the guy?" Doyle wondered. "What guy? Oh him? That's
Xander Harris." Cordy said in disgust.
"Well who are these lovely ladies?" Doyle asked charmingly. "Oh.
That's Buffy Summers and Willow Rosenberg. Don't forget about the
party tonight."
Part 3
Cordelia's Apartment
9:30pm
"Buffy you need to mingle." Cordy said. "I don't know anyone,
here." Buffy said. "Not true. You know me, Willow, Doyle,
and Angel." Cordy said. "Fine. Your worse than my mother."
Buffy groaned. Buffy started walking around looking for Willow or anyone
from the Scooby Gang and saw Angel walking toward her.
"You look like you'd rather be tortured." Angel said grinning. "Well
you know me. I never really liked parties." Buffy said sighing.
"Wanna dance?" Angel asked. "Sure." Buffy said and together they
walked onto the dance floor and started a slow dance.
"What do you think you're doing Buffy?" asked a male voice. Buffy
turned around and said threateningly, "What are you doing here? I told
you not to come." Riley looked at Angel and said, "What did you think
you were doing messing with my girl?" Buffy punched Riley and said, "We
broke up, that means you leave me alone and I leave you alone which is fine with
me. Get out. Now!"
Riley got up and walked out the door. Buffy walked to her bedroom and shut
the door and started looking through her albums. As she was looking
through the last one she found a picture of her and Angel at one of their dances
and hanging out with their friends.
When Angel came in he saw Buffy looking at a picture of the two of them and
lightly running a finger over the image of his face. As Angel watched her
he noticed she was crying so he asked, "Buffy?" She looked up startled
and said, "Yeah."
"Everyone's leaving. I just thought that I'd say bye and maybe see
you later." Angel said hopefully. "Yeah. I'll see you later."
Buffy said sadly. "Are you okay?" Angel asked. "Yeah. I'm
fine." Buffy said sniffling. "Okay. Bye." Angel said
leaving. "Bye."
Part 4
Buffy's Bedroom
9am
"Buffy, it's time to get up." Willow said excitedly. Buffy groaned
and said, "What time is it?" Willow looked at her and kept jumping on
the bed and said, "It's 9. Come on, it's time for shopping." Buffy
jerked up and asked, "Shopping? Did someone say shopping?"
Willow laughed and said, "Yep. Sure did. Cordy's coming to."
"Cool. It'll be like old times, we'll be shopping together and maybe
get hit on by some really handsome men." Buffy said dreamily. "Speak
for yourself. Me and Cordy are taken." Willow said. "True.
Oh well more for me." Buffy said smiling. "You'll never change will
you?" Willow asked laughing.
Angel Investigations
5:30 pm
"Hey Cordy." Buffy said. "Hey Buffy. What's up?" Cordy
asked. "Me and Willow are going shopping wanna come." Buffy asked
knowing Cordy couldn't say no. "Give me a few minutes and then I'm
yours. Guys I'm taking my break." Cordy said. "Where are you
going?" Angel shouted. "Shopping." Cordy said and practically ran
out with Buffy.
9:30pm
Cordy, Buffy, and Willow came in and chanted, "Buffy's in love, Buffy's in
love, Buffy's in love." Angel and Doyle came out and asked, "Who is
he? Someone you met at the mall?" Angel had a neutral look on his
face and asked, "Do I know him?" Buffy looked at him and said, "I'm
not in love. It's an old friend. We're just going dancing.
Yes, you know him. It's Pike." Angel looked shocked and asked, "Didn't
he annoy you in high school?" Buffy said, "Yeah. How'd you
remember that?" Willow and Cordy shared a knowing look they had known
Buffy was in love, but they knew who now. "Buffy you coming?" Pike
asked. "Yeah. Give me a second." Buffy said smiling. "Ok."
Buffy turned around and said, "Bye guys."
Part 5
10:30pm
"How'd it go?" Willow asked. "It sucked. I hated every
minute of it. He's worse than ever." Buffy said groaning. Cordy
walked in and sat down beside Willow. "How about Angel?" Cordy
asked. "What about him?" Buffy asked. "Come on. We know
you're in love with him. Why don't you ask him out?" Willow
asked. "He doesn't feel about the way about me." Buffy said
sadly. "So that's why you were so sad whenever a guy came up to you."
Willow said. "You've been in love with Angel for 9 years?" Cordy asked in
shock. "I guess so. But unfortunately he doesn't feel that way
about me." Buffy said. "What are you talking about? Of
course he is!" Cordy shouted. They were interrupted by a knock on the
door. "Doyle what are you doing here?" Cordy asked. "Just come
by to see my Princess." Doyle said
smiling. "Oh your so sweet." Cordy said giving him a kiss and pulling
him to her bedroom.
Part 6
Angel Investigations
Angel got up and walked to the door thinking it was Doyle and was greeted by, "Buffy. What are you doing here?" Buffy took off her glasses and
Angel
saw she was crying and said, "Come on in. Buffy what's wrong?
Did Pike do something?"Buffy looked at him and smiled slightly, "No. I
need to ask your opinion on something. Were you ever in love with someone
for a long time and they never returned the feeling?" Angel looked at
her and said, "Yeah. Why? Who is he?" Buffy looked at him
in surprise, "What do you mean?"
"Come on, Buffy. I know you're in love with someone. What moron
isn't in love with you?" Angel asked. "You." Buffy said looking
down. "Me?" Angel asked in shock. "I know you don't feel
that way about me. Willow convinced me to at least tell you that and I'd
feel." Buffy was cut off when
Angel grabbed her and kissed her gently until passion took over.
"Angel." Buffy moaned. "We can't, Buffy." Angel said.
Buffy grabbed him and wrapped her legs around his waist and Angel carried her to
his bedroom. As if by magic their clothes disappeared and soon they were
skin to skin keeping contact. Angel decided to torture Buffy to ecstasy
and did just
that as he kissed and suckled her breasts then moved down to between her legs
and nursed both roughly.
"Angel, please. I need you inside me now." Buffy begged her eyes
glazed. Angel couldn't hold out any longer and finally plunged into her
and Buffy shouted out in pleasure. As Angel thrust into Buffy she wrapped
her legs around Angel and pulled him against her and he plunged deeper into her.
As they came together repeatedly, they could feel their climax approaching and
it finally overtook them both. They lay together in silence until Angel
asked, "Are you okay?" Buffy sighed dreamily and said, "Never
better." As Angel was trying to calm down a bit, Buffy climbed on top of
him and slid him inside her and gently moved up and down at first. Then
Angel grabbed her hips and brought her down harder and together they thrust
harder and hit more sensitive areas inside of her.
Angel flipped Buffy onto her back and thrust harder and gained deeper access, as
their tempo increased and became frantic. When they finally climaxed Angel
and Buffy lay together in silence, "I've missed you so much."
Angel looked at her lovingly and asked, "Why did you think I didn't love
you?" Buffy looked at him, "I don't know. I guess because you
wouldn't touch me and you hardly talked to me."
"I'm sorry beloved. I never wanted to make you feel that way. I
love you." Angel said. "I love you to." Buffy said kissing him then
passion took over and they proved how much they loved each other until the wee
hours of morning.
Part 7
The Next Morning
11:45
"Where's Angel?" Doyle asked. "I don't know. Hello.
Hi Willow. No I haven't seen Buffy. I'll call you if I see her."
Cordy said hanging up. "What did Willow ask?" Doyle asked. "If
we had seen Buffy." Cordy said. "Maybe we should ask Angel if he's
seen her." Doyle suggested. "Good idea." Cordy said and followed
Doyle to Angel's apartment upstairs and opened the bedroom door. "Doyle
come on shut the door." Cordy said seductively. Doyle shut the door
groaning from passion and together they ran to one of the other apartments.
5 Years Later
Buffy and Angel had gotten married a year later, followed by Cordy and Doyle two
months afterwards. Willow and Oz had gotten married a month after Cordy
and Doyle. Buffy and Angel were looking out at that sunset with their two
little girls. Jackie and Amanda had fallen asleep and were carried to bed
by their loving parents.
"Cordy and Doyle will be terrific parents don't you think?" Buffy
said. "Yeah." Angel agreed. Buffy was now 5 months pregnant with
their third child and Angel put his hand on her belly and together they felt
their son kick for the first time.
They fell asleep together like that until she gave birth and together they named
him Liam Caleb and together they were a happy little family.
END.
