Los Angeles- Angel's Apartment
"This is not good." Cordy said for the 18th time.
"What's not good?" asked Wesley innocently.
"We have a possessed child in Angel's bed, 2 paranoid parents in the kitchen, and no clue how to get the demon out of the kid. Add it all up and it just screams,' Not Good!'" Cordy answered.
" Well, I guess we'll just have to call Giles. He knows a lot more about this stuff than I do." Wesley confessed.
"Great", Cordy muttered." The Whole Sunnyhell crew is coming to LA. God help us all."
----------------------------------------------
Sunnydale- Giles's Apartment
"It's been way too quiet lately." Buffy was saying. "Patrol has been totally uneventful. I mean--" She was cut off by the phone.
"Hello?" Giles said." Yes. Oh No. Sure, we can help. Okay, we'll be right there. Goodbye."
"Who was that?" Asked Willow.
"Pack your bags." Giles replied." It looks like we're going on a little field trip to the City of Angels."
-----------------------------------------------
Los Angeles- Angel's Apartment
"What did he say?" asked Cordy impatiently.
"They're on their way." Wes replied.
"Hello?" A British accent called from upstairs.
"They're here." Angel said
Giles, Buffy, Xander, Anya, and Willow walked downstairs into Angel's apartment. Everyone gave hugs,handshakes, and hellos except for Buffy and Angel who gave a VERY awkward "hey" before they both sprinted to opposite sides of the room.
"So, what's the what?" asked Xander.
"We have a possessed child on our hands." Wesley explained." But it gets better. The demon inside him has some sort of mind-reading powers and he can perfectly mimic conversations. He wants to emotionally break you."
"So, he's basicly making you relive the worst moments of your life?" Willow asked nervously.
"Yup" Cordy answered.
"Great" said Buffy sarcastically.
"I WILL BREAK YOU! YOU CAN'T STOP ME!" The demon roared from the bedroom.
"Can it, Buster!" yelled Xander.
"Oh, we'll just see about that." The demon warned. "Let's see how your 2 'heros' like this."
The gang looked around nervously, knowing that he meant Buffy and Angel. Buffy braced herself, but she almost couldn't keep herself from crying when she heard the demons next words.
----------------------------------------------
Demon as Angel " I'm sorry Buffy.You know how much I love you. It kills me to say this"
Demon as Buffy " Then don't! Who are you to tell me what's right for me! You think I haven't thought about this!"
Demon as Angel-you get it " Have you? rationally?"
Demon as Buffy "No, no of course not. I'm just some swoony little school-girl right?" }
The gang looked at Buffy and Angel with confused looks on their faces. Angel's hands were covering his mouth and he looked like he might scream. Buffy's eyes were huge, like she couldn't believe this was happening. Both were fighting back tears.
{ D as Angel "I'm trying to do what's right here okay? I'm trying to think with my head instead of my heart."
D as Buffy- "Heart? You have a heart? It isn't even beating."
D as Angel- "Don't"
D as Buffy- " Don't what? Don't love you? I'm sorry. I didn't know that I got a choice in that. I'm never gonna change. I can't change. I want my life to be with you."
D as Angel- " I don't"
D as Buffy- " You don't wanna be with me? I can't believe you're breaking up with me."
D as Angel.- " It doesn't mean that I don't..."
D as Buffy-" How am I supposed to stay away from you?"
D As Angel- " I'm leaving. After the Ascension, after it's finished with the Mayor and Faith. If we survive, I'll go."
D as Buffy- "Where?"
D as Angel- " I don't know"
D as Buffy- " Is this really happening?" }
The scooby gang looked completely shocked. Buffy was sobbing uncontrollably, and she ran upstairs to the office. Angel followed her.
"Well, That wasn't fun" Xander said.
-----------------------------------------------
" Buffy! Buffy wait!" Angel yelled up the stairs, fearing she was already out the door. But when he got upstairs, he found her in a crumpled heap on the floor, sobbing her heart out.
He went to her, and gently picked her up and brought her over to the couch in the main office.
" I can't do it anymore Angel! I can't go on without you ! I love you more than anything in the world and I can't deny that anymore!" Buffy cried.
"Okay, Okay." Angel tried to comfort her." Buffy, listen. I never wanted to leave you. I love you more than anything and I'm sorry for everything I put you through. Please Buffy. Please forgive me."
" Of course I forgive you." Buffy said, "Stay with me?"
"Forever. That's the whole point."
" You have no idea how long I've waited to hear you say those words." Buffy said.
Angel just smiled and kissed the top of her head, both of them savoring the moment.
-----------------------------------------------
And all the while, The Powers that Be were congratulating Jenny Calander, who was inside the little boy on Angel's bed, for bringing the 2 strongest warriors against the forces of darkness, back together.
