ôWhere the Hell is Angel?ö Spike snapped.
ôI donÆt know love. Oh! HeÆs magnificent.ö Drucilla purred.
Standing in front of them, four vampires worked on stulpting a large statue
of stone and clay.
ôWill he be ready for tomorrow?ö Dru asked, turning to look at Spike.
ôOf couse baby, of course,ö Spike assured her. ôæAnd the Slayer shall fall
to this creature of stone.ö
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ôI have a plan,ö Buffy declared.
ôBuffy! How are you? Did you sleep well last night?ö Willow asked her
friend.
ôThereÆs no time to explain right now,ö Buffy said as Angel walked into the
library. No one spoke. Buffy broke the silence. ôThe only ways that I can
think of to defeat this stone guy without dying is to either stop Spike and
Dru before they write æemetÆ on his hand, or...use this.ö She handed Giles a
book.
ôThis just might work.ö he mumbled.
Willow pulled Buffy aside.
ô*What* is Angel doing here? During the day?ö she said quickly. Taking a
deep breath, she continued, her voice much softer and more gentle. ôAre, Buff
are you ok?ö
ôWill, IÆm fine. Well, Angel and I are fine. Willow, A-AngelÆs human.ö
Willow froze. She couldnÆt move. She had mixed feelings about Angel. She
wanted him back for Buffy and because he was a good friend...but she didnÆt
know if she could ever see him as Angel and not Angelus again. Buffy saw the
look on WillowÆs face. She knew what Willow was thinking.
ôHe didnÆt do anything.ö she said softly to Willow. ôIt wasnÆt him.ö With
that said, Buffy went back to the others. There was an incredible amount of
tension in the room, but for now, they would have to look past that. They all
shared a common goal, not getting Buffy killed.

Hi again!
DISCLAIMER: Not mine.
SUMMARY: A look in Angel's diary, just before the end of "Surpirse" - so he
is still Angel.
FEEDBACK: This is VERY important to me! So please take a few seconds just
to scrawl something down and pass it on to Rach@altitudeprods.demon.co.uk
DIARIES 6 - Angels's Diary.
********************************
Dear Diary
Even though I havenÆt been human for about 800 years, tonight I truly felt
human, I remembered what it was like to have friends who care, to have the
ability to help others, but most importantly to love again.
Last night was the best night of my extremely long kind of life. I almost
left and lost Buffy, I know it sounds terrible but IÆm glad Dru and SpikesÆ
men are so efficient, they saved me, saved me from the pain and heartache of
losing Buffy, the one girl I love more than anything in the world.
I lead a strange life, I am a vampire, yet I am in love with the Slayer and
I even help her slay vampires.
Although I am happy, the one thing that would make my ôlifeö perfect would
be to become human again. Then I could be normal, I could go out in the
day, eat normal foods and most importantly I wouldnÆt feel the touch of
guilt that I feel now because I love the Slayer.
Life is so confusing. Much more different now than the past. Then there
wasnÆt the fear of getting mugged, shot or murdered. People didnÆt get
killed in cars, there were no cars. People were expected to marry very
young. Women were regarded as second class citizens and certanily not as
Slayers. I canÆt believe all the changes that have happened, yet what is to
come? Is there any way of knowing? What new deadly vampires will emerge?
What will Dru and Spike be like? What will Buffys friends be like? What
will I be like? But most importantly, what will have happened to Buffy???
I couldnÆt bare life without her, I love her.
Angel.

Title: Homecoming
Author: Northlight
email: uzenet@videotron.ca
Summary: Buffy returns to Sunnydale one year after Becoming, Part 2 and
finds something unexpected.
Disclaimer: They belong to Joss Whedon.
She was home. After a year of running, Buffy had finally come back
home. She hesitated before the school, her emotions swirling wildly out
of control. Buffy took a deep breath and inched forward. A second
later she had backed away from the steps which would bring her to the
entrance of the school.
"Come on, it's Giles!" Buffy reprimanded herself. "There's nothing to
be worried about." Even as she spoke, the thought of Jenny's death and
Giles' torture both at the hands of Angelus rose in her mind. Giles had
never blamed her for what had happened to Jenny nor had he ever
expressed displeasure in her inability to kill Angelus. But what would
her Watcher think about her running away?
She had abandoned her duty. She had abandoned him. Would Giles be
able to forgive her for the pain and worry that he must have felt after
she had left her life in Sunnydale?
Buffy smoothed her hair nervously and moved forward again. This time,
she didn't back away.
The doors swung open beneath Buffy's hands and she followed the
familiar path towards the library. The memories of the countless times
she, Willow and Xander had walked together towards the library was
overlaid by the still painful memory of her frantic run back after
meeting with Angelus.
The thought of the horror she had found waiting for her at the end of
that journey suddenly made Buffy fear for what she would find waiting
for her this time. Unconsciously, her steps quickened.
It seemed an eternity before Buffy reached the library. Her hand
reached out and rested against the door as she steadied herself. The
familiar sound of quarterstaffs connecting made Buffy step away from the
door in surprise. 'Somebody's training?' Buffy thought incredulously.
She cautiously moved back to the doors and inched one open. The sight
which met her eyes was a decidedly unexpected one.
Giles and a girl were sparring.
It was enough to send a burst of jealousy racing through Buffy. That
girl was with *her* Watcher. In *her* library. Using *her* equipment!
'She must be my replacement,' Buffy realized, an odd sense of
disappointment seizing her. Somehow, Buffy had always thought that
Giles would have been searching for her, waiting for her to come back.
She hadn't thought that he'd find himself another Slayer.
The dark haired girl brought her staff down, knocking Giles' away from
him. The force of her blow sent Giles reeling back and tumbling to the
floor. The girl smiled as Giles brought out a handkerchief and dabbed
at his damp face.
Buffy's teeth ground together. Nobody went around knocking her Watcher
down!
The girl bent down and hoisted Giles to his feet. He murmured a thanks
before heading out of Buffy's line of sight. Buffy nudged the door open
wider, trying not to loose sight of him.
Unfortunately, the motion had drew the other Slayer's attention. Their
eyes met, and the two girls remained motionless, staring at each other
from across the room.
Buffy was surprised by the look of hostility which had descended on the
other Slayer's face. 'Keep away' the dark haired girl silently warned
Buffy.
Buffy bristled at the girl's silent warning, ready to tell her who was
in charge. And then, the realization struck her. Giles wasn't her
Watcher any more. She had given up on her duty and position as Giles'
Slayer when she had run away.
"You take care of him!" Buffy hissed softly before backing out of the
library. It was only when she was beyond sight of the library that
Buffy let the tears stream down her face.
***
April stared at the library door in surprise as it drifted shut. From
everything Giles had told her about Buffy, she hadn't expected her to
give up so easily. 'I guess she realized that she has no place here
anymore,' April thought.
'I can't believe that she told *me* to look after Giles! She's the one
who ditched him because she wasn't tough enough for the job!' The
thought that despite Buffy's weakness, she was still Giles' Slayer
annoyed April.
He still thought of his first Slayer. He still searched for her. He
still waited for her. What he didn't seem to recognize was that Buffy
was gone and April was more that willing to take over.
A momentary pang of uncertainty struck April. 'Should I tell Giles
that Buffy was here? He'd be thrilled to see her again... And he'd want
her back instead of me...'
No. Buffy had lost this when she ran away. And April wasn't about to
give it up.
"April?" Giles said softly "I thought I heard something."
"I didn't," April lied, keeping a cheerful smile on her face. "Now,
why don't we go research something?"
Giles looked at the door sadly, "I felt something..."
"Come on, Giles!" April exclaimed, grabbing her Watcher by the arm and
pulling him away from the door. "There's nothing out there."
