Angel sat in his dark office. He continued thinking about his love, about what she might doing at the moment. Is she happy right now ? Is she laughing, sleeping or studying ? What is she wearing right now ? *It's really late, maybe she's naked...no,wait, no liquid dreams...*

He was this stuck in his fantasies, that he didn't notice Doyle entering the room. "What are you doing ?"

This took him by surprise. "What?"

"What are you doing,man ? Sitting all alone in the dark again, brooding about how life would be if your honey was here ?"

Angel stared at him in disbelieve. "Is this so obvious ?"

"God I'm good! That was it, wasn't it?"

Angel nodded sadly

"Come on , man . Let's go to a nice little bar and look for a nice nice girl for ya-"

"NO!" Angel replied roughly.

"Oh, come on! I'm not talking about you finding a new love - guess that's impossible for ya - just someone who can get your mind off of her for a while. You're ex, man. You're not betraying her if you have a little fun and By the way, I need you to come with me so I can get Cordelia with me!"

Angel chuckled "Ask her out, Doyle"

"So you're coming ?"

"No"

*~*~*

Giles sat on his table in his apartment, Spike yelling from out of the bathroom and complaining about being chained to a bathtub.

"This isn't very nice ,you know. I thought more about, you know, thought you were the good HELPFUL guy but NO, you chained me to a bleedin' bathtub, AGAIN, and your golden girl keeps on teasing me and YOU don't give a damn about it!"

"Spike, I think I would be a little nicer if you cooperate with us and tell us what you know" Giles replied half-heartedly

"Mmpf" came the reply outta the bathroom

Giles was reading several books the same time to find out what was wrong in Sunnydale. In the last days Buffy often complained about houses disappearing and returning in the same moments. Nobody but her saw this and all her friends were worried about her well-being. But then, one time, he saw it, too. He was now in researching mode and nobody was able to stop him. But this brought him nowhere. He was ready to give in but decided against it. "I could use a break" he said out loud.

"Me, too." Xander replied

The gang sat in the corner of the room, that used to be the living room, all of them covered by LOTS of books. Buffy yawned and stretched while the others stopped reading as well. "I could use a coke" Buffy said

"OK, I'm Pizza guy" Xander said after standing up, grabbing his jacket and heading for the door.

"Spinacy" Buffy pleaded with her puffy-dog eyes which made him melt every time she uses them. *yeah, I'm over her but that doesn't mean I stopped finding her hell sexy...*

"Hawaii"

"Cheesie Crust"

"Pepperoni"

"All right, what about you Giles ?" Xander said with his hands on the doorknob.

"Huh?" came the answer.

"Pizza: hot bread with lots of ketchup and cheese, made in Italy"

"Xander, I know what pizza is" In the background Buffy started laughing. "Ham" Giles said and with that Xander was gone.

"We should have a big 'itself-speaking' computer to which we only have to say what we're searching for and it comes with all the information. I thought this is the computer century, why haven't we something like that?" Anya whined.

"Something like that doesn't exist,Anya" Buffy answered.

"Actually, it does" Oz said "It's just much too expensive" Oz explained to a shocked Buffy

"So, you say we're researching for my whole life long and I could be able to just say what I want and a computer could answer me in a heartbeat???"

"Yeah"

"That's *so* no fair" she whined

"Oh my god" Giles said

"What's the what? What's wrong, Giles?" Buffy asked suddenly concerned

"It's you, you're the one doing this, it's a huge difficult spell only high talented wiccas are able to use"

"Huh?" Buffy and Willow said unison

"It's a 'jumping through time' spell"

"kay, again. Huh?"

"Your future you is using it"

"My future me" Buffy repeated

*~*~*

Cordelia had a vision, somehow Doyle gave that to her. And she hates him for that! It was about a few young people jumping out of a huge hole! She never saw the most of them but a few of them looked familiar - Buffy, Faith and Spike were among them.

Doyle and Wesley had hold her while she fell and Angel came back from the bar with a glass of water and a pill. She silently thanked him.

"God knows how much I hate you for that, Irish man, haven't you just gotta keep this ?"

"Sorry, princess"

"Yeah, Yeah"

"What did you see?" Angel asked

"A huge hole"

"A hole?" came Wesley's voice

"Yeah, A hole, big, black, in the middle of a room"

"A ro-"

"There were people coming out of it, many, and you never guess who were among them" Cordy interrupted Angel

"Santa Claus?" guessed Doyle

"HA HA"

"Who was it Cordy ?" Angel asked

"Faith, Spike and Buffy, oh, and a girl with red-brown hair that looked a lot like the Buffster"

Angel was speechless , all he could do was stare at her but his mind were somewhere else.

*~*~*

"...OK, Bye" Angel hung up the phone.

He had called Giles but surprisingly , or not that surprisingly, Buffy had answered the phone, it had ripped out his heart to hear her voice. She seemed to be so sad that he wanted just to hold her, kiss her, just be near her, telling her everything was right, telling her he'd never leave her...Then Buffy had given the phone to Giles, she couldn't stand hearing his voice. She missed him far too much. If he would have wanted to call her he woulnd't have dealed Giles number...

Angel had told Giles about Cordelia's vision, had told him almost everything he knew. He found out what's up with the 'jumping trough time' spell and agreed in coming down to Sunnydale with his guys. It was a dangerous spell, he knew this for sure , and he would do everything to protect her.

*~*~*

When the LA Gang arrived, they found Willow , Anya and Xander, chips in hand, in the corner to the bathroom, watching something in it. Giles offered the tea and told them to take a seat. Angel was very disappointed not to see his love anywhere when a yell came out of the bathroom

"No, I'm not" Buffy yelled inside the bathroom

"Hell, you are" came the reply that made Angel fall out of his chair.

"Boy, that's better than cable" Anya chuckled while looking into the bathroom. Angel now realized where they were lurking at.

"Why is Spike in your bathrooom?" Angel asked a little too loud.

"When you're *so* strong then why don't you just push that bloody stake into my bleedin' heart?"

"Because you're harmless"

" I am NOT harmless, just wait, If I get that bloody chip out of my skull, you-"

"will be dead in a heartbeat, bla, bla, bloody, bla. Don't you think I know that one by now? You had lots of chances to kill me but everytime I won, what makes you so sure you could ever beat me? You're annoying!"

"Well, you said something else when we're engaged!"

"Ugh"

Angel sat still on the floor. ENGAGED ? His girl had been engaged to SPIKE who's chained in Giles' bathroom?

"Come on, kill me. I'M CHAINED TO A BATHTUB!"

Angel turned shocked to Giles who just looked away.

Buffy came out of the bathroom angrily but froze on her place when she saw Angel "Hi" came the nervous greeting *GREAT, Buffy you're a stupid idiot, HI! Couldn't have said something more intelligent? Well, at least it was better than my first thought but I think 'Come here and take me right now' would have been a little bit worse.*

*God she's even more breathtaking than I last saw her* "Hi" *GREAT ...idiot*

Both fell into silence and just stared at each other, Anya, Xander and Willow went back to their seats.

Giles cleared his throat. "Okay,um,I'll go back researching" with that he sat back on his table.

"No, Slayer. You come back here we're not finished" Spike shouted.

Buffy rolled her eyes and sat down next to Willow on the couch who was chuckling heavily.

"SLAYER"

"Spike, would you stop complaining if I let you out of the tub?" Buffy yelled.

"Kay" Spike growled.

With that Buffy went back to the bathroom with Cordy right on her heels.

"I *have* to see Spike chained to a bathtub" Cordelia explained before they reached the room.They stood in the doorway and Cordy burst out laughing. That was it. Angel *had* to see this , too.

"Oh God" He giggled

"NO! Why's Peaches here , Slayer? Aren't you two exes ?"

"Do you *want* to stay in that bathtub?" Buffy asked playfully.

Spikes eyes grew wide "NO" He screamed.

Buffy chuckled and went to the sink, picking up the key.

"You keep the key on the SINK? What would have been if it had got into the outlet?"

"Then you would have had to stay in that tub to the end of the world" She said sarcastically.

With that she began unchaining him.

"Ouch, could you PLEASE be a little more gentle" Spike yelled

"Bu-huu! Am I hurting the BIG BAD? Maybe I'm not that weak, like you said?" Buffy grinned.

*~*~*

"The spell needs to be done from both sides and needs the chosen one, a human who is connected to the Powers That Be, a witch and a soulless creature"

"That means, we have to do a spell from what we don't know how for? They could bring us the plaque!" Cordelia protested.

"Cordy, the people who are doing this spell are we! Do you think we would bring *us* the plaque ?" Willow said

"Well, if you take it THAT way" Cordy wondered

"OKAY, wait, I'm the chosen one, Will's the wicca and...Cor, your visions, does it mean you're CONNECTED to the Powers that be?"

"Yep, connected to the PTB!"

"Great! Then you're our girl and the soulless thing..."

Everyone looked at Spike

"NO WAY" He yelled in reply.

"Come on, if you do it we're not chaining you to a bathtub any time soon!" Buffy pleaded.

" NO, when I do it, than I wanna see cash!"

"How much"

"Well, five-hundred"

"What? Hey, that's no fair, I can't pay this, I'm a student, we're poor people!"

"Not as poor as me" Xander interrupted.

"I'm gonna pay you" Angel said " As long as you make sure she's safe on that trip, I'll pay"

"Well, ok, I'll do it, you're still completely in love, aren't you?"

*~*~*

"We have to sit in a pentagram, the lapis makes the middle" Giles explained.

"Why lapis?" Willow asked.

"'cause it is the stone of time, Tempus, father time if you wanna call him that way, let -

"Ok Giles, spare us the details, just tell us what to do!" Buffy interrupted.

"Ok, right. You're the highest point of this spell, 'cause you're the strongest in their, you'll keep pushing the others through time, but you'll be the only one able to get through it?"

"Huh?"

"It's a parallel world, you for and your future yours will go there. Buffy is the only one of you, who is able to mix up with your future selfs, because you're already a mixed person. It's your blood! All the past slayers, the first, the second, the thousand are all living in you. You're kinda...Hm...mixable!"

"Whoa, good to know!"

"Well, the point is, it's a double spell. From us, nobody comes with, but from the other side there will. Just not the people who jumped with you. We don't have the masterspell, they have. And only the master spell includes your trip joiners."

"Ok"

"Why are they doing it?" Angel asked.

"What?" Giles asked confused.

"It's a dangerous spell, why are they doing it? Do they want to see how it works? Is there a needing for it ?"

"I don't know, but I can tell you it's supposed to decide between life and death, because it REALLY is dangerous."

"Dangerous? Hey if I'm gonna be dust I don't do it" Spike said

"It's just dangerous for Buffy, the mixing is difficult and hard to stand for her body, it could rip her apart - Literally." Giles answered

Buffy was suddenly afraid, but not as afraid as Angel was. He nearly shuddered of fear for his love. Just the imagination of her being dead makes him feel this completely lost, that he wants to explode right there and worse.

"Let's do it" Buffy said

*~*~*

The spell was made and Will, Spike and Cordy fell into a deep sleep while Buffy's eyes grew wide and she began to move hysterically. Angel had to sit behind her and holding her in place. If the pentagram was broken they'd die. Suddenly she stopped, fell into a sleep as well when a sort of vacuum came over them. Angel stepped aside when the vacuum began to become deep blue and nobody inside could be seen anymore. Angel feared the worst.

At the beach a HUGE black hole began to rise in the sky

*~*~*

Angel sat infront of the window and watched the dark sky, but suddenly it was day! The sunlight hit his skin and he was about to jump into the shadows when he realized that he wasn't grilling. He stared outside in disbelieve.

"Hey, why's Dead Boy in the sunlight ? Shouldn't he be dust right now?"

The same moment the Telephone rang. Giles put up the phone and hit the 'loud' button so everyone in the room could hear who was on the other line.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Giles"

"FAITH" He yelled in disbelieve ( Angel had taken out that fact, when he spoke to Giles earlier )

"Yep, it's me"

"But you're lying in hospital bed"

"My past me- no present me...whatever"

" You're time jumping?" Oz asked

"Yep"

"Where are you, How are you ?" Wesley asked

"I'm fine, thanks for asking and we're at home"

"Where's home?" Xander asked which made Faith chuckle

"What?"

"Xand, you live here for two years!- I mean your present, future- ...Kensinkton Road 2570, New Sunnydale Downtown. It's the last and biggest house in that Road, directly to the beach!"

"What's New Sunnydale Downtown?" Giles asked

"Oh, dear! Kay, go to the mall turn left then walk circa two minutes forward and turn right on a coffee shop. Then you're in Kensinkton Road and all you have to do is head to the beach!"

"Buffy's there, too?" Angel asked

"Of course she is, she lives here! Wait, no she's not at home yet! But she'll be soon! Well, it could take a while `cause Kathy's got her car and she and Ryan lost their way , so Buffy hasn't got a car and is hitch-hiking to Sunnydale from Viva's while Spike jumped into the next bus to get her car outta nowhere!"

"Huh?"

"Come here, we'll explain to you."

*~*~*

When they were in Sunnydale Downtown they were shocked, the Sun Cinema were gone and on it's place were a Burger King. The old mall was half the size of the new one and when you turn left there were long streets with MANY shops. Cordelia would be in Heaven!

"That`s unbelievable! Why`s Sunnydale suddenly so cool?"

After they turned right at a tiny little coffee shop they were in Kensington Road. It looked a little bit like Revello Drive but the houses were a little bit more modern. The most beautiful and amazing house was the last one, number 2570. The back of the house was turned to the street and in front of it were circa 15 parkingspaces, on the right site were stairs to the garden and the backdoor, on the left site way to the front and to the beach. The house was directly on the sand. The house itself was white with wonderful windows and four floors. The place was huge. Faith came up from the stairs to the backdoor to the staring scoobies.

"Hey guys"

"Um, ah, Hello Faith" Wesley said nervously.

"Hey" Oz said.

"Hi" Anya said.

"Wanna come in?"

The livingroom was huge, four sofa were standing in a square in the middle of the room, many cupboards were standing at the walls and stairs lead to the next floor. Two halls were on the right and left side of the room, on the left side was the kitchen, and a room next was - a second kitchen! The next room was a bathroom, they could tell that because `John number one` was written on the door. On the couch sat a few people.

"Hey Angel" said a black young man.

"Um hello, should I know you?"

"Yes"

"Oh"

The blonde girl in front of this man chuckled like the also blonde man next to her. On the right side sat a girl with red-brown hair who looked a lot like Buffy, also giggling. The four of them were playing poker, and the girl was surely winning. "All right" Faith said " This is Gunn, who works for you Angel." She pointed to the black man "This is Tara, Willows girlfriend. That - "

"What she`s gay?!"

"Yep!"

"But - " Tara giggled and Oz stared jealously in her direction

"That`s William" She pointed at the blonde man "He`s working with Buffy at Vivas" This was Angels turn to be jealous "And this is Dawn, B`s little Sister."

"WHAT?!" They all screamed in disbelieve.

"Don`t ask, it`s the truth" Dawn said giggling "I mean I would tell you, but I`m not allowed to, because then you would know what`s in your future and no one should know their future - "

"Dawnie you`re babbling." Tara said

"Sorry"

*She's babbling! Buffy babbles! How can she have a sister ??? I know her this good , god I slept with her why don't I know about her little sister ???*

" OK, Dawnie. What do you have?" William asked

"Four aces"

All the the others laid their cards growling on the table in the middle of the square and Dawn grinned from ear to ear.

The exact same moment, Spike burst into the room and hit the door closet. The door opened a second time and two people came in, arguing. A black haired man with longer hair and a girl with long light brown hair. The girl made Angel coughing. She looked like his little sister Kathryn, only three or four years older.

"But I *asked* the man" She said

" But I *remembered* what the man said"

" But *I* found the way"

Dawn burst out laughing, so did Spike who sat down on the couch next to Anya who sat now, too.

"Yeah , because *I* explained to you what the man said, because I *remembered* what the man said"

"But *I* UNDERSTOOD what the man said"

"But you couldn't have understood it, if *I* woulnd't have remembered it"

"But *I* found the way"

"Nooooooooo, you didn't. YOU found the way to the *service station*."

" But at least I found *a* way"

"But you didn't find *the* way"

"Ugh"

Ryan went into the kitchen while Kathy plopped down next to a hysterically laughing Dawn on the couch.

"Very funny"

"Yes" Dawn said grinning between laugher.

"Wait, Giles said only Buffy is mixable, why's SPIKE here, too. And why am I able to go into the sun ?" Angel asked to interrupt the scene.

Dawn was now serious " Spike is a human body plus a demon in it equals mixed! And this with you in the sunlight, well - "

"It's a spell" Tara explained " It's made for vampires. We made it a year ago. It makes you - and Spike - able to go into sunlight"

"Oh, wait" Faith said " This is Buffy's half-brother Ryan" she pointed to the kitchen and then to the couch "and this is Kathryn, Angel's lil' sister" Angel stared at Faith and back to Kathy.

"Yep, the one and only" Kathy said grinning.

Angel wanted to say something but was stopped by Kathy.

"Don't ask you shouldn't know"

*~*~*

Buffy burst through the backdoor to the living room and pointed at Ryan who played with Dawn, Gunn, Angel and Xander a new game of Poker.

"You will *never* ever again get my car without *me* in it!"

Angel stared at Buffy, she was beautiful; Her blonde hair was waist length and she wore tight deep dark blue jeans, a tiny black tank top and a transparent white blouse open over it. A big bag hung over her shoulder, a bottle of coke in her left hand and she wore dark sunglasses and a beige NY cappie.

"*I* didn't drive, Kathy did"

"Yeah, but you were the one who knew *where* to drive!" Buffy said while plopping next to Dawn and kissing her on the forehead in greeting.

"Hey Angel" Buffy said smiling.

"Hi" *Can't you *ever* come with something better than `Hi' ?*

"*I* found the way" came Kathy's yell out of the kitchen.

"No, you didn't" Ryan shouted back.

Spike came into the room " You *both* didn't. *I* had to drive two hours with a bleeding bus full of old women and highschoolers without a drivers lisence to get *you two* home, so bloddy hell, don't fight over *who* found the way,'cause *I* found that bloody way home!" with that he sat down across from Buffy "By the way, you look hot,sunshine"

Angel looked shocked at Spike, Buffy just glared at him.

"What? Don't tell me you didn't notice, Nancy boy. She's unbelievable sexy!"

Buffy blushed "Shut up"

"What do you have Xand?" Dawn asked

"Two pairs,you?"

"Royal Flush"

Everybody growled, Buffy giggled,so did Dawn.

"All right, enough! I'll *never* play Poker with you again, that's for sure !" Gunn said

"Hey, it's fun ! You guys are making me to a rich woman!" Dawn said giggling.

"So, um why are we here" Angel asked Buffy nervously.

"My, well, *enemy does a ritual which would destroy the universe, but he can only make it if Sunnydale's in the same time-line, so I had to get SunnyD. Out of 2003! But we're gone in 3 hours!"

"Oh" Angel said " But, um, when we made the spell, you were at work. How is that possible?"

"Our spell works different. We made it a week ago and only had to wait for your reply, which happened to be while I was at work"

"Where are you working"

"At Viva's, a movie-studio"

Angel stared at her confused while Spike switched on the TV and put a video into the VCR and started the Stone temple Pilot's clip `Sour Girl'. The same second Giles, Anya and Oz came out of the kitchen and watched the TV in disbelieve. Dawn, Kathy and William burst out laughing while Angel's eyes grew wide about what he was watching. "That's what she's doing there" Spike explained when the clip ended. The `present-Scoobies' stared at a blushing Buffy.

"You guys think that was bad? God, you *so* have to see `Cruel Intentions'" Dawn said . And with that a 1 ½ hour of pure embarrassment began for Buffy.

*~*~*

The moment Kathy was about to put `I know what you did last summer' into the VCR, the power cut. The whole room was dark and only the light of the moon trough the window gave a little reminder of light. Ryan went to the electricity box but wasn't able to fix it.

"Hey Tara, Can you perform Willow's Tinkerbell spell?" William asked.

"The tinkered teeny Tinkerbell?"

"Yes"

Tara went to the one of the cupboard around of the couchsquare and pulled out a tiny little bottle and threw it to the ground while saying "Fiat lux". There was a big burst of flame and then the entire house was lit with a soft diffuse light.

Giles, Xander and Oz stared at her in amazement "Don't ask" came the now regular answer.

"So, what are we gonna do, now that the TV isn't in the picture anymore" Ryan asked.

"I'm in for strip poker"

Buffy hit Spike's leg "Ouch"

"Never again" she said.

"You, actually, did that?" Xander asked shocked. That was Buffy turn to blush again.

"How about truth or dare?" William asked grinning.

"How old are we again?" Buffy said mockingly

"Hey, how old *are* you guys?" Oz asked out of sudden.

"I'm 16, Buffy and the others are round 23 but Spike, David and Ryan. They are both 27 and Spike, well, I forgot that but Kathy's 18 !"

"Spikes 129" Buffy said

"Truth or dare it is?" Gunn asked.

"Yeah, this is a *very* funny game! The last time we played that I dared a drunken Buffy to dance very sexy with Faith on the counter in the Bronze" Spike said

The four stared at Buffy yet again.

"The emphasis on *drunken*" Buffy said blushing. Dawn chuckled.

"I begin" Faith said, changing the subject, " Xand, Truth or Dare?"

"Dare"

Faith smirked "I dare you to jump naked into our pool outside"

"WHAT? Have you any idea how cold it is outside?"

"Yes"

"Naked?"

"Yes"

Everybody was now laughing.

"Can I , at least, let on my boxers?"

"Well, um. FINE! Let on the boxers"

After everybody got out into the garden and an almost naked Xander had jumped ( much to everybody's fun, because everybody were crazily laughing at Xander's trying to escape that dare) into the pool, they sat all on the couch-square again.

"Okay, my turn" Xander said "Revenge is sweet, isn't it, Faith? Truth or Dare?"

"Truth"

"How many guys did you have?"

Faith's eyes grew wide, Buffy burst out laughing. Faith then fell into silence and stared into space.

"Faith?"

"Shut up, I'm counting"

EVERYBODY burst out laughing now and after a while Faith said " 97, more or less"

"Whoa" Oz commented

"My turn. B., Truth or Dare ?"

"Dare"

"Do one of your sexy dances" Buffy was about to stand up "with Spike" Faith finished.

"NO" she shouted.

"*You* said Dare, B."

"Mmpf"

Spike and Buffy danced VERY hot and VERY close to Devic's `Key' and soon they enjoyed it much too much, at least in Angel's kind of view . He got more jealous every second.

*~*~*

Angel sat on a bench in the garden at 5am, watching the sunrise when, much to his surprise, Buffy sat down next to him. The others had went to bed two hours ago. Buffy had offered them to sleep there. They had have enough place because not all people who lived there jumped trough time.

"We're gone in three hours" she said

"Yeah, I know"

"She misses you"

"Huh?"

"I mean I, she, my past - present me - you know who I mean. God, that's confusing!"

Angel just smiled at her.

" So, what's that with you suddenly having both a sister and a brother and my sister not being dead?" He asked.

Buffy smiled " Ryan's not new at all. He's my half brother, my fathers first child. It happened on his first time and his girlfriend was seventeen and he was fifteen. Ryan's 4 years older then me and lived with his mother. After that my dad met my mom. Ry didn't know I lived here when he moved to Sunnydale, we hadn't much contact with each other. Then he was here and things just happened. Your Sister is reborn" she said smiling " And Dawn was always there, you just don't remember. She always knew I was the Slayer and she always liked you." Buffy chuckled " She always used to make you stand in front of mirrors all the time, because she was this fascinated by your lack of reflection" She said giggling.

They fell into silence

"I've got something I want you to have" she said now serious

"What thing?"

"It's a spell - it makes you human" she said , looking strate into his soul.

Angel didn't know what to say "Well, you know, there's a thing called the end of days - "

" I know, the Morah told me, remember?"

"What?" He said shocked " You remember?"

"I *always* did. Right after, in your office, I knew. I just - I thought it was better this way" She said sadly " But, that's not the point, the point is, the spell makes you human, but you'll still have your strengh. You would be able to protect me and - and we could be together" She whispered "Your Buffy will remember nothing from this day but the fact I gave it to you"

"Will the rest of us remember nothing either?"

"No, you all will remember but me and Spike"

She handed him a blue velvet box

"Take it with you and open it with her when she's back again"

*~*~*

They were standing in front of Giles' apartment at 7:58am, the spell would be broken in two minutes . They had said their goodbye's to their `future-friends' and Angel silently thanked Buffy for the gift she gave him almost three hours ago. Once they were inside, the blue vacuum exploded and all four came to their senses, all breathing heavily.

"THAT WAS CREEPY" Cordelia commented while Oz hugged Willow senseless.

Buffy looked at Angel, smiling. `Future-Buffy' hadn't broken her promise; she knew about the spell.

She stood up and ran into his arms, kissing him, shocking everybody in the room by doing so. But Buffy and Angel forgot about the fact that they weren't alone in the room when he pulled out the blue velvet box.

While opening it, he felt like being ripped apart for a moment before he noticed his former undead heart beating. Buffy smiled at him knowingly and leaned her head against his chest.

"I can hear your heart beat"
