Disclaimer:Nothing BtVS or Angel belongs to me, they all belong to the evil acid man, Joss Whedon. I wish they belonged to me, especially Angel(Hee,hee) But they don't. That would be really sweet if they did though........... Oops! Sorry!! I was fantasizing about being in charge of what happens on Buffy and killing off Riley..... and Kate...... Stupid little...... Sorry........ Then I'd bring Angel back...... Mmmmm, Angel.... Okay, you go read the story and I'll fantasize about Angel.......
Rating: You watch Buffy? You can read this.
Summary: Well, actually, this is a response to a challenge issued by niteeyes1. It wascalled "Have you hugged your Leprechaun today??" I thought it was funny so I decided to give it a try. Cordelia has a St. Patty's day party and invites the ScoobyGang to come. Strange things occur.......(Insert freaky music here).
Author's Note: This is the first fic I've ever posted. I have around 7 notebooks full of stories that I wanted to post but just never got around to it. This is also the first challenge that I've ever responded to, so be kind. Oh, and feedback is greatly appreciated!!!! I'd like to know how bad my fic is before I make a fool of myself and post another!!!!!!! And one more thing!! DOYLE IS NOT DEAD!!!! Sniff, sniff, they killed my Doyle!!! I miss him! At least it wasn't Angel! I think I would have had a heart- attack!!! And Oz didn't leave! Stupid Joss, messing up my show... Grrrrr...... I'll show him!!!!!

"This is going to be so exciting! I haven't seen Cordy in ages!" Willow gushed.

"Yeah, just a whol bunch of crazy fun! Yay! Just what I need to see Cordy again...." Xander exclaimed sarcastically.

"Yeah, that's right, you two used to date..... You don't still like her do you!?" Anya asked accusingly.

"No honey, I only like you, don't worry," Xander sighed.

"I think this will be cool. I'll get to meet some of Buffy's old friends!" Riley exclaimed. (Die Riley, die.....).

"Just friend, that's all." Buffy said.

"I don't see why I had to come....." Graham grumbled from beside Riley in the van. They were all on their way to Cordelia's in L.A. She was having a St. Patrick's Day party, no one knew why, and she invited the whole Scooby Gang to come. Some others joined them, whether they wanted to or not.

"Ah, Cordelia, I haven't seen her since I tried to get that bloody ring and nearly had Angel tortured to death....." Spike piped in, then was lost in the memory of his "good old days". Buffy glared daggers at him, or should I say stakes, for the comment.

"Hey! That's right! Dead Boy'll probably be there since Cordy works for him now. What'cha gonna do Buff?" Xander asked.

"You just called her Cordy! You still like her don't you?! Do you like her better thatn me?" Anya accused

"For god sakes Anya! I don't like Cordy anymore!! Get a grip!! I....." They got into a little fight of their own and no one dared try to interfere.

"Yeah, so Buffy, if Angel is there, what'cha gonna do? Not that I really care..... Unless you two want to go take a roll in the hay 'cause personally Angelus really pisses me off....." Spike said.

"Say one more word Spike, and you're dust...." Buffy growled.

"Who's Angel?" Riley asked.

"Uh, he's an ex. And it's OVER between us. Everyone got that?"

"Come on! No fighting on the road! Limited space and no one can get away from each other. Besides, I don't want to wash blood out of the seats," Oz said from the drivers seat.

"Yes, Oz is quite right, could you all settle down please?" Giles added.

No one spoke for awhile after that.

"Thanks for letting Tara come everyone!" Willow said, finally breaking the silence.

"No prob. You might not like Cordelia very much at first, tact isn't high on her abilities list, but she's nice once you really get to know her," Buffy said.

"Oh, I don't really care. I-I just haven't been to too many parties. I-it's really great of you to let me come," she thanked them.

The conversation went onto telling Tara what to say and do, and not say and do infront of Cordelia untill they got to her appartment.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Willow knocked on the appartment door and it was swung open by Cordelia. Loud music was blaring from inside the appartment.

"Guys! Hi! Come on in! It's so good to see you all again!" She shouted over the music.

"Cordy! This is Tara. She's a wicca. Like me!" Willow said.

"Cool. Come on in, have a blast!" Cordelia said with fake enthusiasum.

"SPIKE!!!???" She gasped when she saw the vampire.

"Don't worry princess, I can't hurt anyone anymore. Unless you're worried I'm gonna drink all the beer." He said dryly.

Cordelia didn't look all to convinced.

"It's the truth unfortuneatly, trust me." Giles said.

"Whatever, go on in...." she sighed.

Spike stepped into the appartment followed by Giles. Oz pushed through with them.

"Gotta go find that Red-head..." He said in his Oz way.

"And Buffy! Nice to see you!....And you brought friends...." Cordelia said.

"Yeah. This is Riley(Kill me please!!! I can't bear to write about him!!)!" Buffy said smiley up at him a little too widely for Cordelia's liking.

"Nice to meet you..." Cordelia said with a fake smile on her face as she shook his hand. *Angel's gonna die all over again.....* Cordy thought.

"Nice to meet you, Miss," Riley replied.

*Miss? Oh God!!! Angel left and he took Buffy's taste in men with him!!!* She thought.

"And this is Graham, he's a friend of Riley's,"

Cordelia recieved a grunt and a nod from him. He wasn't at all happy about being dragged along with Riley and his little girlfriend to this stupid party. Couldn't he have brought Forrest instead?

"Right.......... Come on in........." Cordelia said. Buffy stepped into the appartment hanging off of Riley's arm.

and the wild party fun begun...............

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Buffy walked over to the refreshments table.

"Yummy, green beer. Enjoyable," she said sarcastically to the man who walked up beside her

"Cordy thouhgt she'd get with the holiday spirit....... But enough about the beer, how've you been?" he asked.

Buffy recognized the voice immediately. She turned to face the man, Angel.

"Angel, I-I've been good....." She managed to get out. Just to her luck, before Angel could ask her anymore questions another man ran up to Angel and grabbed him by the arm.

"Hey! Angel man! You seen Cordelia? Gotta tell her this is a kicking party!" He said while grabbing a green beer and gulping it back.

"Haven't seen her for awhile, sorry," Angel replied.

The man looked over at Buffy.

"Hey! It's Buffy! What'cha doin' back here? Cordy invite you too?" he asked.

"Yeah, she did....... Doyle? Is it?" Buffy asked.

"Yeah! That'd be me! Surprised you remembered! We were together for like two seconds before Princess over there dragged me away!" he replied.

"Princess?" Buffy questionnned?

""Delia. She acts like she's royalty sometimes......" As he spoke he spotted Cordelia across the room and his eyes glued to her.

"Well, back in Sunnydale people used to call her "Queen C". And am I sensing some liking vibes over here?" Buffy asked. *Where'd that come from?* She asked herself. It was probably cause she was just trying to play it cool and look like she was over Angel. *Why'd he have to be here?! Damn "Powers That Be"! Always torturing me!* She cursed silently.

"Shhhhhh! Not so loud! Don't need everyone knowing!!!! Don't let anyone else find out! I gotta go now! It was nice to see you again Buffy!" He said and ran off to Cordelia's side.

Just as Doyle left, Riley walked up behind Buffy and put a hand on her shoulder when he saw who she was talking to.(Go to hell Riley! Leave Buffy and Angel alone!)

"Hey," he said.

"Hi," Buffy replied, picking up a beer and drinking it, even though it looked like demon slime, so it looked like that was why she was over there.

"Hi, I'm Riley," Riley said extending his hand out to Angel.

"Angel," Angel replied.

"Oh, you're Angel, I've heard a bit about you...." Riley said. He grabbed Buffy's hand.

"Why don't we go dance?" he suggested and pulled Buffy away from the refreshments table.

"Sure..... Um, bye Angel, it was nice talking to you again!" she shouted before Riley dragged her away.

"Bye......" he muttered. She'd moved on. He felt like he'd just been stabbed by a thousand stakes. He picked up a beer and gulped it down.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

A couple of minutes later Spike came over to the table and found Angel there still drinking.

"Going for a world record there Angel?" he asked.

Angel looked up and nearly spat out the drink when he saw who it was.

"Spike??!! You better not be planning to - "

"Don't worry peaches, I can't hurt anyone anymore. These stupid commando people, like that Riley loser your Buffy's with, they put this chip in my head and now I can't bite anyone anymore." Spike explained while picking up a beer and sucking it back.

Angel laughed at him, probably cause he was starting to get kinda drunk.

"Oh! Look who's laughing! The pansy with the soul! You just wait peaches! When I get this chip outta my head you'll be dead! And you're little Slayer too!" Spike threatened.

This only made Angel laugh harder.

"Um, hello Angel," someone said coming up to him; Giles.

"Giles. Good to see you," Angel replied.

"Yes, same to you..... Good lord, is THAT all there is to drink?" Giles sighed.

"Naw, there's a punch bowl full of Irish coffee over there." Spike said.

"Uh, no thanks, I think I'll just get a drink of water....." Giles said and began to leave.

"Aw, the Watcher's a chicken!? Comeon man! Have some booze!" Spike teased.

"No thank you," Giles replied.

"Alright then, I challenge you to a drinking contest!" Spike said.

The rebellious, Ripper side of Giles couldn't refuse.

"You too mate," Spike said to Angel.

"Nope, leave me outta this," Angel said.

"Aw, come on! You sissy vamp!" Spike taunted.

Angel growled then reluctantly agreed.

"Ah, Giles, what a pleasant surprise," someone said from behind them; it was Wesley.

"Wesley, how lovely to see you......" Giles replied rather unenthusiastically.

"What might I ask are you doing?" Wesley asked.

"Drinking contest,"Spike replied.

"Ah, I see,"Wesley responded.

"We still need someone to go "Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug!" if you want in," Spike snickered.

"Actually, if you don't mind, I'd like to compete." Wesley replied, trying desperately to look macho.

"No, Wesley, get out while you still can," Angel said.

"No, I'm not a sissy. Count me in." Wesley said. Insisting on proving that he wasn't a wimp.

And so, the drinking contest began.................

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The party went on the same, everyone getting really, really drunk.

"Oh, it's a pirates life for me!" Xander sang as he wandered around the appartment with an arm around Anya. She just followed him around giggling.

"Uh, Xander? Where'd you go?" she laughed before she passed out and fell face first into the punch bowl of Irish coffee.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhh, it's a pirates life for me!!!!!!!!!! Uh? Anya? Where'd you go? Anya?" Xander called then found her in the Irish coffee. He started to laugh.

"You're supposed to get a cup silly! Ohhhh, it's a pirates life for me!!!!" He sang as he walked away.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Meanwhile, Spike had gotten pissed off at Wesley for, believe it or not, beating him in the drinking contest. So, he shoved him into a barrel - Don't ask why Cordelia had one around - and had started rolling him around the appartment.

"Help me. Help me, my dear!" Wesley howled as Spike rolled him past the refreshments table. A very drunk Giles and Angel burst into laughter.

"Help me my dear!!!!!!" Angel howled, making fun of Wesley, and he and Giles started howling with laughter again.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Buffy had gone off and gotten herself wasted. She couldn't handle being around Angel, it was too hard on her. And now she was completely drunk. She'd lost Riley in the process as well. Riley wandered around the appartment searching for her when he found a good reason why you shouldn't wear snap-up track pants. One of the many drunk people at the party came up behind him and ripped away his pants!!!!! He now stood infront of a roomfull of people, who more than half of which he didn't know, sans pants. Three of Cordelia's friends walked upto him and started to giggle and point.

"You know, they have surgery to fix that," one said. And they all started laughing, all obviously drunk.

"Wow, and your feet are so big!" another one said. More laughing.

"I guess this makes me the earlybird," the last said. They all bust into laughter again.

"That's enough." the first one said and they all left.

Cordelia walked up to him later.

"What do you think you're doing!?" she screamed.

"Someone stole my pants!" Riley blubbered.

"Come on, there's something you can wear in my room." she told him and led him to her bedroom. She looked down, then patted him on the arm.

"It's a good thing you have so many other talents," she told him in her untactfull way then left.

Awhile later, Riley came out of Cordelia's room wearing............... a leprechaun suit! Graham came up to him and started laughing hysterically.

"You look........... really stupid, man!" he laughed then grabbed a beer and stumbled away.

Riley pouted then picked up a beer and started drinking.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

(Note: This song doesn't belong to me, I don't know who it belongs to, but it's definetly not me. I mean jeez people, I'm only 15!)

"At firts I was afraid, I was petrified, Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side; But then I spent so many nights, Thinkin' how you did me wrong, And I grew strong, And I learned how to get along!!!!!!!!" belted Angel, Spike, Giles and Wesley as they danced ontop of Cordelia's coffee table.

Doyle and Cordelia sat on the couch infront of them, slightly amused.

"And you think I'M bad when I'm drunk!" Doyle exclaimed.

"Well, you still are. but I never knew Giles and Wesley could be this way! And Angel! This is not his normal brooding self!" Cordelia exclaimed.

"We've all go hidden depths," Doyle said.

"Yeah, well, Angel's are pretty deeply hidden! And you are so drunk!" Cordelia exclaimed.

"No I'm not! What'cha talkin' 'bout Princess?" Doyle asked

"You said 'depths'. You'd never say 'depths' while sober," Cordeila told him.

Doyle just swatted away her comment and went back to watching the four guys dance.

"Oh no not I, I will survive, Oh as long as I know how to love I'll stay alive; I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give, and I'll survive, I will survive, hey, hey!" they continued to belt.

"They're actually not half bad, not sure those are the actual words though." Doyle said.

"Oh no not I, I will survive, la - la - la - la - la - la - la - la - la - la, do - do - do -do - do - do!"

"Well, THOSE definetly aren't!" Cordelia said.

"Oh, well, it's entertainment...... I wonder what Angel's gonna say in the morning...." Doyle wondered.

"Where's the asprin?" Cordelia guessed.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Hello little birdy! Polly wanna cracker?!" Buffy asked a picture of a bird Cordelia had in her kitchen.

Willow and Tara peaked into where the party was and saw Angel table dancing with Giles. Wesley and Spike.

"They'd be a good act if they could synchronize it," Oz said from behind Willow.

Willow looked back at Buffy who was still trying to feed the bird picture.

"We gotta do something," Willow said, "who knows what could happen while they're both like this!"

"Yeah, they could spend all their money and run off to Aruba," Oz said.

"I'm serious Oz! I think we should start the spell now, before it's too late." Willow suggested.

"W-what spell?" Tara asked.

It's a spell to make a curse that isn't permanent, permanent. We're gonna use it to bind Angel's soul to him," Willow explained.

"But... I don't get it?" Tara said.

"Angel is a vampire, he's been cursed with a soul but the curse has a clause in it, so he and Buffy can't be together cause if he has one moment of true happiness he, well, he gets all scary and GRRRRRRRy and tries to kill everyone." Willow explained.

"Oh..." was all Tara replied.

"Need some extra help?" Oz asked.

"Yeah, probablly, let's move to the dining room," Willow suggested and picked up her back-pack and the trooped out of the kitchen, leaving Buffy and the bird alone.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Cordelia watched Spike curiously as he...... well, seemed to be having a conversation with a small cactus that Angel had given her when she first moved in. But that wasn't the strangest thing, Spike was only wearing dark green boxers with four-leaf clovers on them (Mmmm, wish I was at that party...). She walked upto him.

"What's that?..... I get three wishes?...... Well, my first would be for damn Angel to have his soul permanently! His damn brooding really gets on my nerves... And I definetly don't want Angelus coming back!......... What's that?......... You can do that?! Really?!....... Well, won't he be surpried! Thank you!" Spike said to the cactus.

"Spike? Why are you talking to a cactus?" Cordelia asked him.

" Cactus? Naw, it's a leprechaun! Don't you see him? Say hello to Cordelia! See! He's waving to you! Don't you see him!?" Spike asked.

"Um, no... No more alcohol for you.... And why are you walking around in four- leaf clover boxers?" she asked.

"Huh?" Spike asked, he looked down, "Oh! I've seemed to have lost my clothes!" he chuckled. "Oh wait! What if someone stole them?! I'll kill that dirty bugger!" Spike growled. He looked back up at Cordelia and a strange look came over his face.

"You know Cordehliah..... You look very shexshy tonight....." He said then pulled her close and kissed her! Cordelia pulled away.

"Ew! Spike! Ew! Don't kiss me! Ew!!! Spike lips! Ew!!!" She complained and ran away.

"But Cordehliah, Ish think I love yous!" Spike shouted and chased after her.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Dennis watched the party from the kitchen, he was sick of watching those two get piss drunk over eachother, it was so obvious that they at least liked eachother. Dennis decided to take matters into his own hands. He followed the small blond girl around untill she came close to Angel and then, oops! He "accidentally" shoved her into him. Even though he was drunk, he caught her in his arms. He laughed at her.

"You should really be more carefull," he scolded her, but it didn't really do much for her because they were both drunk out of their minds.

"Whatever!" she replied, then she looked up at him. "Y'know Angel, I've really missshed you....." she told him, "I didn't like it when you left, it was...... mean. I was, I was.... really..... shad...." she told him.

"I'm shorry, I really didn't wanna go y'know...." he replied.

"Really?" she asked.

"Yeah," he said.

"Okay, I forgive you," Buffy replied.

"Cool.." Angel replied then bent down to kiss her.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Riley, after getting really drunk over having to wear a leprechaun suit, went to go find Buffy, he wandered around the party when he saw her near the refreshments table. He walked upto her,

"Buffy? I think you're lookin' really pretty tonight...." he said then kissed her. Except it wasn't Buffy, it was Spike!!! Spike pushed him away then started to wipe his mouth.

"Bloody hell! Get your fish-lips away from me!" Spike shouted.

Riley looked puzzeled then looked closer,

"You're not Buffy!" he said.

"Damn right I'm not Fish Boy! (Sorry, couldn't resist) Now take your fish-lips and leave!" Spike shouted.

Riley walked away from Spike and wandered into a hallway near Cordelia's bedroom where he saw a couple who was heavily making out. Riley laughed,

"Lucky dude......." He said, then realized that the girl was Buffy! He suddenly started to blubber and ran out of Cordelia's appartment. (So long Riley! HAHAHAHAHA! I finally don't have to write any more about him!!!!! Hallelujah!!! DOWN WITH RILEY! Oh, right, back to the story!)

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

In the meantime, as Buffy and Angel continued kissing and groping each other they found their way into Cordelia's spare bedroom..........

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The next morning Buffy woke up wrapped in someone's arms. A puzzeled look crossed her face, *How the hell did I get here?* she asked herself, when suddenly, things from last night started floating back to her. She sat up in the bed.

"Ohmigod! Ohmigod! Ohmigod! No, this isn't happening! This can't be happening! This CAN'T happen! He'll -" she stammered.

Angel groaned beside her.

"Huh? Wha..... Whoa...... What happe - BUFFY?!" he shouted.

"Um, hi, You - you don't feel like killing anyone do you?" she asked.

"But - how - I - it - this - it - I -" Angel stammered as he jumped out of the bed and pulled on his boxers.

"Angel?" Buffy asked.

"I...... I feel fine..... Nothing happened..... I - I don't get it...." he muttered.

"Maybe it was because we were drunk off our rockers and didn't even rememberwhat we did until we woke up this morning." Buffy suggested bitterly.

"Buffy? Are you - Oh........ OH GOD!!!" Willow exclaimed as she barged into the room and saw Angel standing beside the bed in only his boxers and Buffy sitting IN the bed with nothing on.

"Willow..... Hi...... And don't scream, bigtime hangover... Remind me to never touck beer again. Especially green beer..... I wonder how Cordy did that anyway..." Buffy wondered.

"I don't think that matters Buffy, but I think you should know something," Willow said.

"Well, what is it? And please tell us quietly, I really need some asprin..." Buffy asked.

"Well, um, last night, Tara and me, we, well, we did this spell and we..... we made Angel's curse permanent...." Willow explained.

Both Buffy and Angel stared at her in shock.

"Are you serious!!!???" Buffy shrieked.

Willow nodded. Buffy laughed happily.

"I can't believe this! I-I'd get up to hug you but I've seemed to have misplaced my clothes..." Buffy said.

"Willow.... thank you. Thank you so much! You have no idea what this means to me." Angel thanked her.

"No problem..... We were glad to! And um, I'm gonna leave you two alone now..... We're not leaving until tonight, because of Spike, besides, no one can find Riley!" Willow said

"Not my problem...." Buffy muttered.

Willow smiled at the couple then closed the door behind her when she left. Things were silent between Buffy and Angel for awhile.

"I meant what I said last night, about forgiving you. I mean, I know I was completely drunk but I do forgive you, not that I think you did anything that needs forgiving," Buffy said.

"Thank you," Angel said. Buffy smiled at him. Suddenly her smile fell,

"Angel? Are.... are you staying here when I go back to Sunnydale?" she asked.

"Do you want me to?" he asked.

"NO! NO! Never! Angel! I know you think that you can't give me waht I need but I don't belive that, you're all I've ever needed. And if you think that thing with Riley was serious, it SO wasn't! he wasn't right for me. Only you're right for me. I....." Buffy swallowed hard, " I love you.." she whispered.

Angel sat down at the edge of the bed.

"Buffy, if you want me to come back to Sunnydale with you then I'll be more than happy to. And don't think for a second that I don't love you, because I do, so much that it scares me sometimes. But the curse isn't a problem anymore so I don't see any other really huge challenges...." Angel said.

"Mmmmmmmmm, nope!" Buffy said then pulled him back down onto the bed.

(You like?? Send me feedback!!! Or I'll send Angelus AND Spike - Before the chip in his head - After you!... Actually, I wouldn't really do that.... but it was funny to write.. But PLLLLEEEEAAAASSSSSEEEE send me feedback!!! I want to know how bad - or good - this is before I post something else!)

Send feedback to Angelle
