Subject: BUFFYFIC: "Reunion" Note
Regarding part 10:
I'd like to apologize for the grammatical errors. I wrote it very, very
quickly, and I meant to send it to my editor, but somehow I ended up
sending it to the list by mistake. I saw it in the digest and banged my
head against the desk repeatedly. Whatever anybody tells you, I am not
illiterate, really!

Buffy slept fitfully. She woke up, startled, put her hand to her head. She
reached over to her lamp, turned it on, and let out a sigh. She took her glass
from her nightstand for a drink, but found it nearly empty. She got up to fill
it.
Buffy came out of her room holding the glass and walked down the hall. Behind
her Drusilla stalked her. Buffy opened the door to the bathroom and suddenly
found herself at the Bronze. A slow ballad, played. Buffy ventured
in.
She found Oz sitting at a table with a large cup of cappuccino and
an organ grinder's monkey. To the monkey, he says, "L'hippo a pique' ses
pantalons." (The hippo stole his pants.)
The monkey on the table squeaked. Buffy walked up to the table and looked at
Oz curiously. He smiled at her and waved. Buffy raised her hand back, but
remained confused about the monkey.
Buffy continued on and found her Xander holding a large cup and saucer. He saw
her coming and turned to face her. "Do you really think you're ready, Buffy?"
he asked.
"What?"
He dropped the saucer, and Buffy watched it fall. It shattered on the floor.
He just turned and slowly walked away. Buffy watcheed him go, then looked
around the room again.
She walked past Oz again and through the crowd to the stage. It's empty, no
band tonight. She turned around and smiled warmly. Angel and Willow stood at
the pool table. He smiled and started toward her. Buffy began to walk toward
him.
Drusilla suddenly appeared behind Angel. She is vamped out, and thrusted a
stake into his back and pulled it out. He arched backward in pain.
"ANGEL!"
They reached out for each other. Before she could touch him his hand began to
disintegrate to dust. The rings on his fingers fell to the floor. His body
didnÆt explode like most vampires', but just crumbled to dust. Drusilla
lowered the stake and took the few steps toward Willow. She sunk her fangs
into WillowÆs neck and lowered the stake.
"IÆm back, Buffy."
"No, Willow! Angel!" she shrieked.
"Buffy, IÆm here." Buffy awoke, Angel lying next to her. "ItÆs okay. IÆm
right here."
"Angel, it happened again, the dreams!"
"What dreams?"
"Remember when I almost 17 I had the dreams about you dying and Drusilla
being alive? Then it all came true. Well, I had the exact same dream, just
with different people. You and Willow died, and Drusilla was alive. Angel, I
killed Drusilla three years ago. SheÆs alive again, and you and Willow are
going to die die. ItÆs a sign; a sign that something terrible is going to
happen again. Angel-" Tears fell down her red cheeks.
"Shh, shh. ItÆs going to be okay."
"You canÆt know that. You said it yourself at the docks, æWe canÆt be sure of
anything.Æ Angel, I lost you once. I canÆt lose you again."
"And you wonÆt. I wonÆt let it happen. IÆll protect you."
"Angel, you canÆt. You couldnÆt protect me last time, and you canÆt protect
me now. No one can stop this from happening; my dreams about the master came
true. The dreams I had about you and Drusilla came true. Now these dreams will
come true."
"WeÆll just talk to Gi-" he paused, "Willow. SheÆll be able to help you."
"Angel, this is her first day on the job. She hasnÆt been trained properly,
and isnÆt ready for this."
"Buffy, Giles is gone. Willow is here. YouÆre going to have to learn to trust
her as your Watcher, or your friendship is over."
"But how can I? Giles and Merrick were both so old, so experienced. And not
just in their duties but in life. Willow is so much more unexperienced, so
much younger. Hell, sheÆs even younger than I am. How can I just forget all
about Giles and trust Willow like sheÆs as good as him?"
Willow appeared in the door way, "Thanks for having such confidence in me.
Buffy, I thought I was your friend." She quickly turned away and ran down the
hall."
"Oh, God, what have I done?"

Subject: BUFFYFIC: BBETA: Time Will Tell *Poem*
This is just a poem I wrote one day. It's suppose to be about Buffy, but I
guess it could fit in any of the other character you want, but that's up to
you. FEEDBACK PLEEEEAAAASSSSEEE!!!!!!! It's the only way, I'll now if I'm
doing good........or bad.
Time Will Tell
by:mInDy
Do you know what you do to me,
Everytime we touch,
Everytime we kiss.
Your love is the one thing
keeping me sane.
I know I'll have what's meant to be,
Only time will tell what that is.
Maybe it's you,
Maybe it's another,
Maybe it's death.
I'll just wait for time to speak up.

Title: Vampires Anonymous
Author: Andrea Newbery
e-mail: anewbery@hotmail.com
Distribution: sure, as long as I know where.
Rating: PG-13
Spoilers: everything up to KbD
Summary: I have been spending way too much time thinking about Angel's
soul or lack thereof. That is not actually in the story but it is still
true. Anyway I was thinking way to much on how Angel will get his soul
back and I started thinking that it might be interesting if, say Willow
found the ritual and performed it but made a slight mistake and restored
the souls of everyone in the factory with Angel. So I decided to see
what would happen.
Disclaimer: The characters of Angel, Buffy et al. are the property of
Joss Whedon, Mutant Enemy, the WB and whoever elseà No copyright

debt!
Feedback: Please...good, bad, whatever!
"Angel, if you don't get over this self-pity gig and go to the meeting I
may just change my mind on your existence and finish you off" Buffy
stood glaring at her morose boyfriend. "That's why we started this
group, to help you all deal with what happened to you."
"Butà"
"Angel that's it, I'm going to the meeting, I'm in charge of snacks."
With that she stomped out of his apartment totally fed up with
him...again.
Twenty minutes later she arrived at the library lugging two huge jugs
filled with red liquid. She proceeded to slam them onto the table and
throw herself into one of the softer chairs in the library.
"Angel still giving you problems?" Giles came into the library carrying
extra chairs from the gym.
"Giles, I don't get it, why won't he participate, everyone else is
finding it really helpful." Buffy stared at the table as if it knew the
answer and wasn't talking. (Incidentally it did know the answer and no
it wasn't talking).
"Angel already regained and lost his soul once before, it's probably
harder for him to accept that it happened again." With that Giles
dropped off his load of chairs and headed out for the next pile. Buffy
sat staring at the table for a while longer then got up and started
moving things out of the way for the chairs to be set up. Xander and
Cordelia came strolling in carrying stryofoam cups and paper plates. "
Hey Buff where's Angel, home sulking?"
Buffy just glared at him and continued setting up the chairs. After
their usual quick fight Xander and Cordelia came over to help.
"So, how many are we expecting for tonight, the usual twenty or has
Willow resouled more vamps so we can start our own chain of vampire
counseling centers and become filthy rich?" Xander smiled at his own
joke.
"Xander, do we have to go through this every week, yes the normal twenty
will be here, and no of course Willow didn't do the ritual again, you
know the disc was bad and she lost half the ritual!" She stood there
glaring at him glad to have a focus for her frustration.
Cordelia finished putting the chairs in rows and turned back to them.
"Buffy reallyàyou shouldn't get frustrated like that your face gets all
wrinkly and before you now it you're going to look way older than you
already are. And since your boyfriend is never going to age that is
something your going to want to hold off as long as possible."
"Gee thanks Cordy 'cause my dayàlife isn't already going bad enough."
Glaring at the both of them she grabbed the jugs of red liquid and
peered curiously at them,
"How am I supposed to be able to tell which one is which because I will
not be tasting it!"
"I will."
"Angel, you came!" Buffy smiled joyfully at him while Xander and
Cordelia stared at him surprised.
"So deadboy comes out of hiding, glad to see you again, which is as much
of a surprise to me as I'm sure it is to you."
"Thanks Xander, although I must admit I was counting on you to convince
Buffy she should dump me so I could go back to the whole brooding guilt
thing."
"I tried man, I triedàI even tried to get her to stake you but no such
luck." Xander peered anxiously at Angel to see how he would handle a
little teasing and was relieved to see Angel staring at him with his ' I
could kill you' look. Xander just smiled at him and went back to
arranging the library while Angel taste-tested the jugs.
"Buffy, where did you get this junk?" Angel was staring at her with a
very pained look on his face.
"Willie, he said it was fresh stuff" Buffy replied.
"Freshà. This was fresh when I was human, I'll go get some more, this
stuff could cause a vamp to fall off the no human wagon."
Angel then did his thing where he wasn't there as they all stood around
thinking a joke, did no fun, guilt-ridden Angel actually attempt a joke.
Admittedly a lame joke but still a joke. Simultaneously they then
decided that no he probably actually meant it. With a group sigh they
all went back to what they were doing.
