TEEN ANGEL (5/?)
Katie smiled at their reactions to her statement. She was about to respond
when the library doors opened. She saw Willow and Angel glance at the
doors,
grimacing in unison. She laughed as she realized she would be unable
to tell
them anything else at that moment.
Willow saw Buffy and the gang come into the library. She looked at Katie,
wondering if they would be able to see and hear the ghost. She was
still
reeling from the girl's seemingly innocent statement. What did she
mean that
her mission was to get her and Angel together? He wasn't interested
in her.
Didn't Katie see that? "Hi Buffy. Guys."
"Hiya Wills. Angel. Hope you haven't been waiting long" Buffy said,
taking a
seat.
"Willow. Deadboy. Anything on the agenda tonight?" Xander asked, sitting down.
"I hope not. I have to make an appearance at the Bronze." Cordelia said.
"Geez, she's a rude bitch" Katie observed, looking at the brunette girl.
Angel snorted, covering it up with a cough. "Sorry...I must have had
something in my throat."
Willow felt her lips twitch as she realized that indeed, she and Angel
were
the only ones that could see Katie. She glared at the empty seat that
Katie
was perched in, trying hard not to laugh. Seemed Katie thought the
same of
Cordelia as she did. "Are you ok?"
Angel glared at her, his dark eyes amused, "Yes. I don't know what we
plan to
research tonight, actually."
"I'm supposed to meet Matt at eight. He said if we were going to be
long I
could call him and he'd meet me here" Buffy volunteered.
"I don't think we have anything to really to work on" Willow said.
"Great. We can go then?" Cordelia asked.
Willow watched as Katie stood and moved behind Cordelia. She saw the
blonde
ghost reach up and pull at a lock of Cordelia's hair. Cordy frowned,
swatting
her hair. "Not yet. I'd wait for Giles to make sure."
Cordelia rolled her eyes and sighed, again swatting at her hair. "Is
it just
me or is there some bug in here?"
"Bugs in your hair?" Buffy asked, giggling.
"Shut up, Buffy" Cordelia said, again swatting her hair. She finally
stood
up, looking around for the bug. "Damn it. There is something bothering
my
hair!"
"Did you get enough sleep, honey?" Xander asked, exchanging looks with
the
others.
"Shut up" Cordelia hissed. "There is something picking at me."
Angel caught Willow's eyes as they shared an amused look. "Maybe you
two
should go on....."
Willow saw Katie make a face behind Cordelia's back as she leaned forward
pinching Cordy's arm. "Ouch!" the cheerleader exclaimed, looking at
her arm.
"Did you see it? It just bit me."
"Xander, why don't you and Cordelia go on to the Bronze." Willow said,
almost
laughing again.
"Why do they get to go?" Buffy whined, her eyes amused at Cordelia's antics.
"Because, some imaginary bug is after her" Willow said, her tone serious.
"It isn't imaginary" Cordelia said. "It's here."
"Come on, sweetie" Xander said, taking her arm. "We'll see you guys soon."
"Bye hon" Katie said, waving as Cordelia left the room, her dark eyes
skittering over everything for the bug. "Man, this is fun."
