Disclaimer: Everything to do with "No Place Like Plrtz Glrb", "The Gift" and Ats and BtVS have, of course, nothing to do with me. I merely just have my imagination and took this out of Joss' work.

Finally. . . everything was getting back to normal.

These soothing thoughts flowed through Angel's mind as he heared the faint footsteps of his family following behind him. They'd rescused Fred from Pylea, and were returning to the Hyperion where things could finally get back to normal -- as normal as things could retain when you worked for Angel Investigations, the "ghostbusters" of the vampire and demon business.

"Let me say it. I want to say it," he eagerly started, the cliche popping into his mind as he flung open the double glass doors of the hotel. "There's no place like--"

And that was when he saw her. Seated on the circular couch. Bright, auburn hair hiding the details of her face so subtly. She didn't even seem to notice them at first, for she remained sitting for a mere second, before rising from the sitting position. Her emerald eyes that were imfamous for their warmth rained with pain, and Angel felt a pang flow through him.

"It's Buffy." He almost didn't believe it until he heard the words slid from his mouth, and he felt Cordelia take a confused, and concerned step towards him, but he barely noticed. A perfect image of his blonde vampire slayer came to mind. Her blue-green eyes always clung to determination, and skill only she could handle. Her petit figure would never reveal the notion that she had the weight of the world on her shoulders. Her tender lips would never truly be kissed by the right person, because they couldn't be together.

If his heart was beating, it would've been broken in that second. If his heart were beating, it would've stopped. He felt his knees grow weaker, and the urge inside of him was to crash to the ground; bury his face into his large palms and to weep for his eternal lover. But he couldn't. He was numb to everything but her face flowing through his mind.

It was that second, that Angel's world fell apart. That his damnation merely grew.
