She walked down the street, almost zombie like, still not truly believing he was gone. Her love had sent him away. And she was sure that she'd never get him back. So now here she was... hunting him. Hunting the man she loves. Yeah, she still loves him. It's been a month at least, she couldn't really keep track of the days anymore. He killed Jenny. Yet, she still loves him. He's taunted and maimed her for the past month. Yet, she still loves him. He's taunted and maimed her friends, and watcher. Yet, she still loves him. She just can't seem to stop. Even when she sees him now, she wants to run to him and throw her arms around him and give him a kiss. But heaven knows what he'd do if she did that. Angelus got pleasure out of hurting her. And if Buffy were to do something like that, no one really knows what he'd do. Inside of her she still wondered if there was any part of him that remembered, any part that still loved her, that knew how much she loved him. She wondered if he still felt the connection that she did. And did he still want her. Under all of those harsh words and strong hits, did he still want her, need her, like she needed him? She didn't know, but she planned on finding out...

:Cut to a over head scene of Buffy walking down a street, with a cemetery up ahead. She's whistling sadly and twirling a stake in her hand and she goes. Un-aware of something following her. She strolls into the cemetery and walks around looking for any undead that could be rising. She sees a hand coming out of the ground and once it's half way out she surprises it and stakes it in the back, before it gets any chance to fight back::

Buffy: You really should watch your back, you never know who, or what in you case, you might run into.

::Buffy smiles a little at her joke, but not fully enjoying the kill as much as she did when Angel was by her side and she got smootchies in-between. She senses a vampire behind her and whirls on it, seeing Angelus standing a few feet away::

Angelus: No, you never do. Do ya' Buff?

Buffy: Nope, there's always someone out there that has to surprise you.

Angelus: Yup, and I think I seem to be your guy with that matter.

Buffy:(mutters under her breath, but Angelus hears)Yeah you are...

Angelus: Oh... come on Buff, lighten up. Have some fun... maybe fight a little, but you know that's always optional...

Buffy:(rolls her eyes at him)Yeah of course, I'm always the one who gets to choose when we fight. I thought you liked to surprise me.

::Angelus quickly spans the gap between them before Buffy has the chance to think of a reaction. He gently, but strong enough to make her do it, brings her face to his and kisses her. And this was no little kiss, this held fire, rage, and passion, like neither had ever experienced... and they wanted more of it. Well until they realized what they were doing::

Buffy: Get away from me!

::Angelus is spiting::

Angelus: You think I liked that?!?!

Buffy: You started it!

Angelus: Well, you continued it!

Buffy: I did not! You had a hold of my face, I didn't have a choice!

Angelus: You're the Slayer I'm sure you could've done something!

Buffy:(Her mouth opens and closes as she tries to come up with a come back)

Angelus: YOU LIKED IT! Just admit it, you want me and you can't stand it.

::Angelus moved closer to her again. Buffy made no attempt to run or back away::

Angelus: Come on Buffy, you can't lie to me...

Buffy: All right! I liked it! I loved it for a matter of fact! And you know what?!?! I want to kiss you again! But I REALLY don't think it's a good idea considering who you are, and who I am.

Angelus: It didn't seem to matter when I had a soul...

Buffy: (She basically spat at him) WHICH WOULD BE MY POINT! You're EVIL! You're a evil, BAD BAD thing. You killed Jenny! You filthy bastard.

::Angelus growls and slaps her. Then he grabs her wrist::

Angelus: WHAT did you call me?!?!

Buffy: What did you lose your hearing aid?

::Angelus slapped her again::

Buffy: I SAID, you filthy bastard.

Angelus: Yeah, that's what I thought...

::Angelus pulled back to hit her again when he saw that she just stared at him, glared was more like it. She wasn't scared of him, so there was no point in going further. He put his hand back at his side. Buffy laughed slightly at him::

Buffy: You liked it too. I could tell.

Angelus: I did not.

Buffy: Did too.

Angelus: Did-

::Buffy stepped up to him and kissed him fiercely. So fierce that they fell backwards and up against a tree. Angelus rubbed her back and ran his fingers through her hair and Buffy slid her hands along his chest up to his shoulders. Buffy moaned as the kiss grew, and she tangled her hands in his hair::

*What am I DOING?!?!?! I'm kissing the man who killed Jenny. But I still love him, and I really think he still loves me. I really don't know why I'm doing this, but I am and I don't want to stop...*

*What am I DOING?!?! This is the girl that made me feel human, and here she is trying to do it again. But oh my God, okay so I don't really think I have a God, I think I still love her! And I know she still loves me, I can feel it. I have no idea why I'm still kissing her, but I am, and I don't want to stop...*

::They continued to kiss for a few minutes, until Spike came along. He gawks for a moment, seeing the Slayer kissing another guy already. He takes the cigarette out of his mouth and grins. He can't tell who the person she's kissing is::

Spike: Bloody hell, Slayer. Wouldn't have thought you'd moved on yet.

::Buffy and Angelus jump apart as if lightning had just struck in-between them. They look wide eyed at Spike who's mouth hit the ground::

Spike: BLOODY HELL! What the!?!?

::Spike then began to scream profanities and back away. He was ashamed of his sire, and wigged out that the Slayer would do this::

Angelus: Spike, buddy, it's not what it looks like.

Spike: Sure as hell it ain't! You two was kissin' an' it looked like that's not where you'd planned on stoppin'!

::Buffy had said nothing throughout the whole ordeal, already ashamed of herself. With Spike pointing it out, it seemed a lot worse. She slowly started to walk backwards and away from the whole situation::

Spike: Oh, Slayer, I don't think you should be going anywhere right now. We three need to talk.

Angelus: (Through gritted teeth, for he too was ashamed, a little) I don't think we do. You shut up about this, and I won't rip your throat out.

Spike: Oh, I don't think Dru would like it too much if ya' killed me.

Angelus: Oh, I don't think that Dru would notice.

Spike: I'm sure she would-

Buffy: SHUT UP!

::Angelus and Spike both glared at her, and Angelus growled::

Angelus: Stay out of this.

Spike: Ya' blondie. It's not your fight.

Buffy: Every fight is my fight.

Angelus: Do you have something to say?

::Buffy looked back and forth between the two with a glare on her face::

Buffy: If anyone finds out about *that* then you will *both* die.

Angelus: See, I--Wait, *both* of us?

Buffy: I'm not thinking that if one of you told I would be able to figure out which of you did it.

Angelus: Do you think I'd want something like this to get out

Buffy: You just might, or maybe you'd change the story a little bit.

::Spike had been laughing mean while, then decided to interfere::

Spike: What exactly *was* the story?

Buffy and Angelus: It's none of your business.

Spike: Woh, sorry. Didn't mean to intrude into your personal life. Although I didn't think you two'd *have* a personal life after that whole lifting of the curse. Well other than your plans to kill each other...

Buffy: It's nice that you've given it so much thought.

Angelus: He wants to keep track of me, try and keep me away from Dru. By the way, good luck with that.

::Spike growls and pushes Angelus back into the tree::

Angelus: Hey man, just trying to do some analyzing. You're pretty hard to figure out. Surprised, Dru hasn't yet. You'd think after that many years, you two would have some type of connection. I mean my other self and Buffy only took a few months to connect, well not that kind of connect, that took a while longer. Angel always was a-

::Buffy slaps him::

Buffy:(Very spaced and sternly) Shut up.

::Angelus rubs his cheek. Spike chuckles a little::

Angelus: Woh babe, didn't mean to offend... Okay I did, what can I say? I'm evil right?

Buffy:(Grits her teeth) Right.

Spike: This is all great and dramatic, but I've got things to do, people to eat.

Buffy and Angelus: You aren't going anywhere.

Spike: Enough with the talkin' at the same time! It's weird.

::Buffy sighs and sits down on the grass against a headstone::

Buffy: This is tiring.

Angelus: Are you going to talk?

Buffy and Spike: No. What about you?

Angelus: No.

Buffy and Angelus: Good.

Spike: Okay *that* was weird.

::Buffy and Angel roll their eyes at him. Angel walks over to Buffy and sits next to her. She gives him a disgusted look and then stood up, too confused to be close to him at the moment. She walked to a spot that put her almost directly in-between the two vampires, and crossed her arms over her chest::

Buffy: So Spike, you're not going to say anything about this right?

Spike: Who would I tell?

::Buffy and Angelus glare at him::

Spike: Okay, okay. No I'm going to tell a soul.

::Buffy and Angelus glare at him::

Spike:(laughs slightly uncomfortable) I was just jokin' wit' ya'! I'm not gonna tell *anyone*. They wouldn't believe me anyway!

::Buffy and Angelus glare at him::

Spike: Stop it! It's freaky...

::Buffy and Angelus look at each other, sharing a secret look::

Spike: What? What you two wankers lookin' at each other like that for?

::Buffy and Angelus just smiled and rolled their eyes::

Spike: Just stop it... It's not natural!

Buffy and Angelus: *We're* not natural

Spike: STOP!

::Buffy and Angelus start to crack up, but Spike glares angrily at them, sothey bite their lips to keep from laughing::

Buffy: And Angel, you promise?

Angelus: First of all, get it straight the name's Angelus...

::Buffy glares at him::

Angelus: But hey, if you wanna call me Angel, feel free.

::They all look around as they hear a thunder like cracking noise, and then a voice::

Voice From Above: Would you like me to call you Angel, too? 'Cause I can go back and change it in the screenplay...

Buffy, Angelus, and Spike: Who the hell are you?

VFA: Could you keep down on the swearing? I'm trying to keep this PG-13. Not the nicest way you could've greeted me either. I'm the person that came up with the story. Sadly I didn't create you... but oh well we can't have everything...

Spike: Wait are you saying that you like are controlling what we say... without us even knowing it?

VFA: Basically... I mean, you are real people... well in some people's minds you are. I don't normally interact with my characters, but I thought I'd make an exception.

Angelus: So *you're* the one who made me love her? I'd like to talk about that being changed in the *plot*.

VFA: Sorry, no can do. It's the whole point of the story. Now if you'll just tell me whether or not you'd rather go by Angel, I can be on my way, and back to writing. By the way Angel is shorter thus easier and faster to type...

Angelus: Well I guess if Buffy's going to call me Angel, then it would be less confusing if you wrote Angel, too.

VFA: Thanks, now you all behave for a while, I'm going to bed. We'll pick this up in the morning, is that okay with you?

*Angel*: No, I want this thing solved now!

Buffy: Yeah, I have to agree, I'd like to know how this whole thing is going to turn out.

Spike: Yeah, I want to know if the bloke gets back together with Blondie here, or if he comes back to our side.

VFA: I'm a B/A 'shipper, what do you think?

Buffy and Angel: A *what*?

VFA: A Buffy/Angel 'shipper, as in I strongly believe that Buffy and Angel should be together... Oh and I like Buffy and Angelus together, too.

Spike: That's fine wit' me. I get Dru to myself again.

::Angel jumps up from the ground::

Angel: So you mean I actually *end up* *with* her??!!

VFA: I plan on that, yes.

Angel: (His face falls, then he grins) I think I can deal with that.

Buffy: (Not sure what to make of this all yet) Great. What if I don't want to??

VFA: You know you do.

Buffy: Yeah. (gets surprised looks from both men) But what if I didn't, and how do I know that *I* really do. What if it's just you putting thoughts inside my head?

VFA: (shrugs) I don't know, but I'd really like to get back to the story if you all won't let me go to sleep.

Buffy: Fine you can go to sleep, but what do we do while you're gone?

VFA: Don't mess up the story. You know what? It's not worth it, you guys will screw it all up. I'll go without sleep.

Spike: What do you mean we'll screw it up?

VFA: Just forget it. Bye.

Buffy, Angel, and Spike: Bye.

::More cracking noises and the voice is gone::

Spike: I changed my mind *that* was weird.

Buffy and Angel: You got that right.

Buffy: All right before we were inturrupted by the *writer* of this story, I asked you a question. Do you promise not to tell, *Angel*.

Angel: I'm not going to tell.

Buffy: Great now that that's all settled, we can go back to being enemies, right?

Spike: Right.

Angel: (After slight hesitation) Right. So do we fight?

Buffy: (After slight hesitation) Why not? It took us long enough.

::Buffy and Angel approach each other. Spike rolls his eyes, knowing they wouldn't get much fighting done, before they made with the smootchies::

Spike: You know what? I'm gonna leave you two alone before I have something more to not talk about.

::Spike lights up a ciggarette, then turns and walks away, leaving the two staring after him::

Buffy: (Being naive) What do you think he was talking about?

Angel: (Following suit) I'm not sure...

::They turn back to each other and looking in the other's eyes, getting lost in them. Buffy and Angel slowly walked towards each other::

Buffy: (Coming slightly out of the trance) We shouldn't be doing this... it's wrong...

Angel: (Following suit) I know... it's *wrong*. I mean I'm a *vampire* and-and you're a *Slayer*.

::They continue to slowly walk towards each other, betraying their words::

Buffy: If we do this, I don't know how I'll face my friends...

Angel: I'll be shuned by all the other vampires...

Buffy: I'll feel so ashamed...

Angel: So weak...

Buffy: So vunerable...

Angel: So betraying...

Buffy: Even if we still *care* about each other...

Angel: Even if we still *love* each other...

::They are now mere inches apart::

Buffy: It'll never work...

Angel: Even if we tried...

Buffy: We're to different...

Angel: Way to different...

Buffy: I mean we could try, but...

Angel: We know it'd turn out bad...

Buffy: (So soft he can barely hear her) Right.

Angel: (Follows suit) Right.

::They wildly grab each other, and kissing insues. It goes on for a while, then they simultaniously push apart::

Buffy: We *really* should like talk about this.

Angel: Yeah, but that can be later, right?

Buffy: (Shrugs and nods her head) Right.

::Refer to above action::

Buffy: Maybe we should talk now, before this gets out of hand...

::Angel grabs her around her waist and pulls her to him::

Angel: Yeah, let's go back to the Mansion and *talk*.

Buffy: Yeah...

::Angel sweeps Buffy up into his arms and carries her back to the Mansion. They actually talk a *little* while. But then you know, wackiness::

::Thunder cracks::

Voice From Above(a.k.a Author): Well, the story goes well for both I suppose. Buffy tricks Angelus eventually, after Willow finds a way to curse him with a soul without the whole happiness clause. Angel doesn't leave her, cuz... cuz that's the way I wrote it. But he still seek redemption, thus they both go to L.A. after Buffy graduates. About 4 years later, when they were both 27, Angel becomes human. Tah Dah! I hope you've enjoied the show! Please discard any trash in the marked trash bins, and have a nice day/night!

The End
