Part 1

~~~~~~~

"Are you sure that we are to go to Sunnydale?" Wesley asked.

"Yes, I'm sure!" Cordelia exclaimed she was probably the least ecstatic about going back. Going back meant opening all those memories she had tried so hard to forget. "Or are you forgetting that I'm the one with the mind numbing head aches that the generous Doyle left me as a going away present."

"What's so bad about Sunnydale?" Gunn asked.

"Long story, don't ask." Cordelia stated, as she grabbed her coat, and walked out the door.

Wesley and a confused Gunn walked out into the night, meeting up with Cordelia.

Part 2

~~~~~~~

"What!" Buffy said shocked beyond belief. "When? Why? Oh no."

"Buffy it's not the end of the world, well at least I don't think it is." Giles stated, trying to comfort Buffy, but having no effect what so ever. "I could check my books again.Buffy? Are you listening to me?"

Buffy sat on the stool in Giles place, lost in her own world.

"Huh? Oh yea, what'd you say, sorry." Buffy smiled meekly.

"So what's new in the big bad world of slaying?" Xander said as he walked in followed by an unhappy Anya, Willow and Tara.

"Well, that's what we don't know actually." Giles stated.

"Well it had better be good, because me and Xander were just about to have kinky sex with the new handcuffs I bought." Anya stated oblivious to the fact that some things were not meant to be shared out loud.

"Okay we are going to pretend that whole out burst never happened and go on with our merry lives." Buffy replied disgusted.

"Anya. I thought we had talked about this," Xander said as he pulled her into the other room. "What goes on in our bedroom stays between us."

"Right. Well let's go back in so we can get this whole gathering over with, and then go home and have you know what." Anya replied with an evil grin.

"So what'd we miss?" Xander said walking back into the room as all eyes gazed on him and Anya.

"Well, we were going to talk about your sex life, but you don't have one so, I decided to explain to every one why I was here instead." Cordelia remarked.

"Ok, we definitely missed a lot." Xander said very confused, as he looked around the room and saw Cordelia some guy he didn't know and Wesley?!"

Part 3

~~~~~~~

What had he done? He had left them there to die. Okay so maybe has was not found of them but still, they were human kind of, and he had left them to die. He had also fired Cordelia, Wesley and Gunn. What was he thinking, exactly he wasn't thinking. He had simply fired them. This was all too much for him at the moment; he had to sleep get away from everything.

Angel stirred restless in his sleep; all of a sudden he heard a familiar voice. Buffy, he had not dreamt of her in awhile, but was he even sure it was Buffy? He had not seen her, just heard a small voice cry out to him in obvious pain. But it had sounded like Buffy. Could it be she needed him? No she had that army guy, what was his name Riley? The only thing she needed of Angel was to stay away, he stated as he begun to drift off to sleep again.

Part 4

~~~~~~~

"Okay, let me get this straight; you had a vision? In your vision Buffy was in it, so you come down here. You have no clue what is going to happen just that you had a vision and Buffy was in it?" Xander stated.

"Basically." Cordelia said.

"Um, I don't mean to pry but who are they?" Tara said shyly pointing to the L.A. gang, "I mean if it's none of my business just say so."

"Don't worry it's fine," Willow said giving her a reassuring smile, "Well this is Cordelia and she went to high school with us, and now I guess has some sort of visions, this is Wesley, he used to be Buffy's watcher until she quit the council. I'm not quite sure why he is here now though.."

"I worked for Angel." He stated matter of factly.

"Uh, worked?" Buffy said confused?

"He fired us." The new person said.

"And you are...?" Buffy asked.

"Gunn, I helped Angel out from time to time."

"Okay, well now that you came all the way down here, and see that Buffy's fine I guess you can go back to L.A. to continue your merry lives, and me and Xander will go home and have.uh I mean and go to sleep. I did good didn't I?" Anya stated more to herself then to anyone else.

"What ever," Cordelia said, "we're not welcome here so we'll just be on our-"

The stench of blood filled her senses, people lying dead in the street, children crying out for help but no one hearing, and then two ladies. Had ugly faces. One calling for her daddy, obviously very distressed. The other chanting about the end of days.

Part 5

~~~~~~~

"Help!" Startled Angel woke up for the second time having dreamt the same dream. He was positive that it was Buffy this time. But what was he going to do? Just show up in Sunnydale saying `Hi' Buffy I've been dreaming about you, are you in danger? She had Riley he was supposed to help and protect her, she didn't need him, or did she?

His mind was made up, Sunnydale here he comes.

Part 6

~~~~~~~

"Cordelia what'd you see?" Wesley asked worried.

Cordelia began to shake never had a vision been this terrifying to watch. It scared her a little more then she'd like to admit. "The end of days." She said in a low voice.

"Been there done that." Anya replied in a bored tone,"Now can we go home, I would like to have some alone time with Xander before the next millennium.

"Anya, patient." Xander said sternly this is important."We can have our fun AFTER we have finished up here."

"Yeah, yeah," Anya said bored, "I would just like to try those handcuffs out and from the looks of your pants, so do you."

"Could we please get back on task," Wesley said interrupting the lover's quarrel. "Okay, Cordelia, is there anything else you saw? Please tell us."

"I saw blood, to which I am very mad at Doyle for leaving me these mind numbing head aches!" Cordelia stated trying to ease some of the tension in the room, but failing miserably. "I also heard screams, screams of young children. Wes they were so sacred. An-and I think I saw what appeared to be Darla and Drusilla, but I wasn't sure it was all a blur."

"But isn't Darla dead?" Willow asked, very confused to this point.

"Yeah, Angel staked her." Xander piped in trying to be of help.

"Wolfman and Hart brought her back." Gunn replied for the first time really speaking up and joining their conversation.

"Oh my, this is something," Giles stated starting to worry, "And you said that Angel fired you? So there would be no way to contact him would there?"

"He's near." Buffy stated, her eyes not on any particular thing, just staring out into space.

"How can you tell?" Willow asked.

"I feel him, he's near." Buffy, then got up and began to walk out the door. "I need to be home, mom wants to go out, and I need to be home for Dawn." She lied, then turned and walked out the door leaving a group of very stunned people.

Part 7

~~~~~~~

Walking along the street having no place in particular that she wanted to end up, so she just let her feet take her away. Realizing moments later where her feet were taking her, she was beginning to doubt whether or not she should be there. She knew he was there, she could feel him, and she also had a strong instinct that he too could feel her near. Not knowing what else to do she took off, she ran as fast as her feet could take her and ran home.

Once inside the safety of her own home she plopped down on the sofa and let all her emotions come out; pain, longing, anger, and the biggest one that scared her most was love. Could she truly love him after all that had happened? He left her, twice! First after graduation, and second time he left her and their future together, just because some stupid demon said she would die! I mean demons say that to her everyday! Yes she remembered. She told him she would never forget, and she kept her word, she just forgot about their day for a while. So she sat and she cried, she cried so hard till she didn't think she could stop.

"Buffy is that you?" Joyce said from the top of the stairs. "Hunny what's wrong tell me."

Buffy wiped the tears from her eyes put on her best I'm alright my life is not going to Hell in a hand basket face, and told her mother goodnight before going up to her room, and locking the door.

Part 8

~~~~~~~~

He could have sworn that Buffy had just been outside his door, but when he opened it all that was there was the light of the moon and the faint smell of vanilla. Had she run? Was there something important she had to say to him?

Well he decided to do the manly thing and go after her. He knew he was setting himself up for heartbreak this whole friends thing would never work out they had already tried it. That was his main reason for moving to L.A. he had to get away from her, or he knew he'd come crumbling back to her, like he was about to do.

So in the middle of the night Angel made the all to familiar trip to Revollo Drive.

Part 9

"Okay, we have a vampire turning bad, a depressed slayer, one gorgeous actress, two ex-watchers, a horny couple, and then two witches doing nothing in particular," Cordelia began, "I can definitely see the end of days in our future."

"Cordelia, please stop this is no time for jokes." Giles said trying to stay calm in front of the children.

"I'm just stating the facts." She replied with a yawn.

"Look! Look! She's tired, I think this is our cue for us to go our separate ways!" Anya cried out a little too enthusiastically.

"Well for once, I think Anya has stated something that could beof use." Giles replied.

"Thanks," Anya beamed proudly, "Hey! Wait a minute! That was not funny! I do not appreciate your lame jokes." Anya replied, and then with a huff she grabbed Xander by the sleeve pulling him out the door along with her.

"Well Giles we are going to follow Anya and Xander example and leave, I mean unless you need us for research or something?" Willow said after a few moments of silence had passes.

"Um n-no it's quite alright you two go home and rest up." Giles stammered, "I'll see you tomorrow then."

"Sure thing." Tara replied, before following Willow out the door.

"Well we best be on our way too," Wesley began, "It might be hard to find a motel at this time of night."

"You are welcome to stay here, I will probably not get any sleep tonight, for I will be researching, so Wesley you may take my room, it's the first door on the right. There are two guest bedrooms proceeding that for you two."

"Well then I guess I'll say goodnight then." Cordelia and Gunn said.

Giles and Wesley stayed up into the early hours researching looking for anything that would be of use to them, come the End of Days.

Part 10

~~~~~~~

Angel took in a deep and unneeded breath and climbed up to the window of Buffy's room. He lightly tapped on the window, Buffy dried the last couple of tears that had been falling, looked in her mirror to make sure she was presentable...she felt him, he was tapping on her window, she slowly made her way to the bedroom to let him in.

"May I come in?" Angel asked a little unsure of his mission now.

"I guess so." She replied in a monotone voice.

"Okay," He swiftly made his way into her, his eyes gazing over to Mr. Gordo

Buffy quickly busied herself working on cleaning her room, anything to keep her from staring into his deep soulful brown eyes, once she looked into them the world would disappear. So she picked up little trinkets lying on her dresser and began to shove them into a drawer, that's when she came upon the box.

This was the box that she vowed never to go into again; it held her most precious gift. It help the claddagh ring Angel had given her the night they first made love, the night he told her he loved her. No she couldn't open that box. But her hands just didn't seem to listen to her and they opened it, in the process opening up all the wounds that were just starting to heal. She couldn't take any more. The dam of tears she tried to hold back came pouring down. Angel ran to her side, embracing her as the tears ran down her face.

"Why?" Buffy asked. Such a simple question that held so many answers.

"What kind of life could I give you Buffy? I can't take you out into the sunlight, I can't give you children, you deserve more than that." Angel answered his heart breaking at the site of her crying.

"But you could Angel. You gave it up too!" Buffy cried, becoming angry, but was she angry with Angel or herself?

Angel didn't say a thing just starred in shock. She couldn't know, the oracles said only he was to live with that day on his mind. How did she know?

"Yes, Angel I remember. I told you I'd never forget and I kept my promise." Buffy continued.

"How?" Angel asked with disbelief.

"Not a week after it had happened I started to have dreams Angel, dreams of our day that you gave up. I know why you did it, but I don't think I agree with it Angel I am always in danger! There is someone always out there to kill me." Buffy said as more tears began to fall down the curves of her checks, he reached out and wiped them away with the pads of his thumbs. Buffy began to relax into his gentle touch. Slowly the gap between them became smaller and smaller.

Angel leant his head down, and slowly the two lovers became locked into a passionate kiss. All their longing, their love, and their lust was brought out into this kiss. Angel's hands began to wander over her back, eliciting small moans from Buffy in the process. Her hands became tangled in his hair. Grasping for breath, well at least Buffy. The two lovers pulled apart. Angel suddenly realizing what he had just done began to pull away. But the slayer held on, she was not letting him get away so fast this time.

"What, why are you going?" Buffy asked a little hurt.

"This, this isn't right, Buffy." Angel started. "Riley..."

"What about Riley?" Buffy asked not realizing that he wasn't aware of the non-Riley factor, since well he left her too, just a couple of weeks ago.

"Your boyfriend Riley." Angel began, but was interrupted by Buffy's lips on his mouth.

"He's not a problem anymore." Buffy replied huskily, she didn't know what was going on with her but for some reason she just couldn't get enough of Angel, she needed she wanted more.

And so the lovers spent the rest of the night talking, kissing, and talking a little more.

Part 11

~~~~~~~

Buffy slowly woke to the realization that Angel was indeed there with her, in her bed. It wasn't a dream, as she began to think about last night, a smile graced her face. But she woke further she noticed her mother standing at her door fuming.

"Buffy Summers!" Joyce began angrily, "What the hell do you think you're doing with-with him!" Joyce finally managed to spit out.

Angel awake now quickly jumped out of bed, mumbled something undecipherable and made his way to the bathroom. Since it was the only place he could safely go with out getting major sunburn.

"Buffy answer me I am your mother!" Joyce began.

"What am I doing?" Buffy screamed. "I'm spending the night in the arms you my boyfriend."

"Oh ok, WHAT!" Joyce screeched. "He's your what?"

"My boyfriend, now if you will excuse me, I am going to go find him and bring him home." Buffy said as she walked past her mother.

She then promptly went, found Angel and the two of them walked downstairs. Well Angel went downstairs after Buffy had first shut the curtains.

Dawn who was downstairs eating her morning breakfast peered out from around the kitchen to see Angel standing inside. She smiled softly to herself. She had never really liked Riley.

Just then the phone rang.

"Hello," Buffy said.

"Um yes, he's here," Buffy, replied a little embarrassed, "Okay, your place."

"Oh ok, we'll be there shortly then, bye." Buffy said. She turned to Angel grabbed a black heavy blanket that was hanging nearby draped it over him and then proceeded to take her mothers car and lead Angel out into the sun.

Part 12

~~~~~~~

Angel pulled Cordelia, Gunn and Wesley aside. "Uh, look," Angel, stammered sounding like a lovesick teenager. I am really sorry about how I've been acting these couple of weeks, I think I'm better now." And then took off, in his stealth guy manner to rejoin Buffy.

"And why are we here?" Anya asked. "We couldn't have waited for another like 30 minutes?" Me and Xander were in the middle of something that I'm not supposed to talk about." Anya trailed off.

"Daddy!" Drusilla screamed ecstatic to have finally caught up with her daddy.

"Look Darla daddy's here." Dru said in a silky voice, as she begun to walk in a prancing manner towards Angel.

"Look Dru, they were having a party without us." Darla said, as everyone in the room looked on. "I see some new faces in this room, these mean people aren't introducing themselves." She said referring to Gunn and Tara.

"Daddy will tell us, we have found daddy." Dru replied happily as she trailed her fingers up and down Angel, landing near the groin.

Buffy could not watch a second more, she lounged herself towards Drusilla, landing a kick square in her face. Dru stumbled backwards rubbing her head.

She vamped out and screeched, "You'll pay for that Slayer, you and all your little friends will pay for this when we create the End of Days."

Darla and Dru ran out as fast as they came in.

"What do we do, Giles?" Buffy asked, becoming scared.

"Um, well I think there is a spell of some sort that we could use to help stop this End of Days, but I will have to look into it. We will meet at my place tomorrow evening.

Part 13

~~~~~~~

"There is not much time so we must get started quickly." Willow said.

"But Wills why do we all have to be here?" Xander asked. "I mean you know me no good at spells."

"In order for this to work we need all of us." Willow stated agitated at all the questions. "Now please shut up and listen to what I am going to tell you."

"Well the vision Cordelia had, it is referring to the End of Days," Giles started.

Buffy and Angel shared a knowing look.

"In this the demons and vampires will join together to kill all of civilization, and once again roam the world free of people." Wesley finished up for Giles.

"Now how many times have I heard this before?" Buffy asked.

"Buffy this is serious, please do pay attention." Giles said sternly.

"Yeah, yeah." She replied with a yawn.

"Okay, I would like everybody to circle around the candles that I have just set up," Willow said. "Okay, now hold hands."

"What are we in kindergarten again?" Xander asked teasingly, until he got a mighty powerful mean look from Willow and a jab in the ribs from Buffy. He then promptly shut up.

"As I was saying before, please all hold hands. That's really your only job, Tara, Giles, and I will be doing all the reading." Willow continued, "Does everyone get it?"

A simultaneous chorus of yeses echoed her previous statement.

"Gott des Feuers hier mein Vorwand!" Willow started.

"Gott des Wassers hier mein Vorwand!" Tara followed.

"Gott von Masse hier mein Vorwand!" Giles said.

"Geist des interregnum, benenne ich. Rückkehr. Ich ersuche...," Willow, Tara, and Giles repeated over three times.

A strong wind came blowing the candles out, for a couple of minutes the room was dark,

Willow the main caster of the spell, repeated, as her eyes slowly began to change into a light glowing blue, "Ich implore Sie, Gott, ignoriere nicht diesen Antrag. Weder tot noch vom lebenden!"

The candles began to light again turning the color of Willow's eyes, but as the candles began to pick up more light her eyes began to turn normal. Just then the lights flickered out. And all was silent.

Part 14

~~~~~~~

Anya was the first to break the silence. "Uh, is alright if we talk now? I mean I don't know about you but Wesley's hand over here is majorly sweaty, and I would like it if he would let go."

"Uh, yea" Giles said, "I do believe that our work here isdone, all that is left is the clean up process."

"Um, Giles small question," Buffy began. "What exactly did we just do?"

"Well the next full moon which is tomorrow night, there will be a short period of time in which all evil will stand still. Giving us the advantage over them." Giles began, "During this time, now I'm not sure how long it will last, or when it will begin you must stake the evil bringing forth the End of Days. This should then stop the End of Days, but I'm not sure."

"Okay, so uh, what happens if this doesn't work?" Buffy asked.

"The world will go to Hell like in my vision, won't it?" Cordelia asked.

"From what the books tell me, yes." Giles replied.

Part 15

~~~~~~~

"The mean slayer is trying to take daddy away," Dru complained.

"Don't worry, when we bring forth the end of days we'll get daddy back, and we can have fun killing the slayer, while we're at it." Darla said with a evil grin spreading across her face.

"Oh, goodie! What fun!" Dru exclaimed. Oh, oh!"

"What, what is it?" Darla asked.

"The stars the stars are whispering to me." Drusilla purred.

"Well what are they saying?" The slayer and her little gang are trying to stop big evil, she doesn't want the End of Days to come around." Drusilla said in a singsong voice.

"Well, we will just have to stop them then, won't we."

Part 16

~~~~~~~

Angel and Buffy walked hand in hand down the street towards the mansion.

"Angel are you worried?" Buffy asked sounding like a lost little child.

He wanted so badly to tell her that everything was going to be fine, that nothing bad would ever happen, that things didn't go bump in the night, but she was naïve about those sorts of things. So he didn't say anything he simply squeezed her hand, and kissed the top of her head as they continued their walk to the mansion.

Part 17

~~~~~~~

Anya stared off into space as Xander lazily stroked up and down her arm.

"What are you thinking `bout Anya?" Xander said before bending his head down to nibble on her neck.

"Nothing in particular," Anya said, beginning to groan at his nibbling.

"Are you thinking about the End of Days?" Xander asked, for he too was worried.

"Yeah," Anya paused, "Xander, I don't want to lose you I love you." Anya said before tears welled up into her eyes.

Xander pulled her close and whispered sweet nothings into her ear until she fell asleep.
