Author's Notes: I hate Valentine's Day! Like not hate, it just bugs me, so I thought what would happen if you lived above a Hellmouth...Wouldn't some divine intervention in love matters become screwy?! hE He! The fun! This doesn't mean the story is set during V-Day. It's a possibility, but probably won't be mentioned. Also Please be kind and email nice things....flames will be burned! Email me at CreativeGirl@rcoketmail.com. I love email! Also thank you to my brother, Robbie, RSX. This story had a lot of help from you!

Cupid looked down at earth from his lofty position. Everything looked okay. People were happy, spring was coming and love was in the air! The god sighed....then he heard some comotion from below. Someone wasn't happy. He looked closer and saw a little town. A myriad of images flashed before him. Monsters, Demons, Vampires.....evil was concentrated here....And then he looked closer and he saw a group of people. They seemed very worried, very troubled. They needed some comforting, some love... He shot six golden tipped arrows at the group, these arrows would make them fall desperatly in love with the first person they saw. Cupid figured that some of them were already attracted to each other, and his arrows usually did their stuff perfectly, hitting the right person at the right time.
* There,* he thought with a smile, " That should help."
But what Cupid failed to recognize was that Sunnydale was on top of a Hellmouth , meaning that things as pure as love get screwy.

Willow looked upset, her auburn hair was ruffeled and she looked flushed. She had just been enjoying herself when her friends came along, with bad news...as usual. She had been sitting at The Bronze with Oz before they came along. Well they had been on a date actually, though niether one of them wanted to call it that. They enjoyed each other's company, but both were hesitant to start anything serious. Willow liked Oz, he was cute, and smart, and funny, and he seemed to like her a whole lot...something that Willow wasn't used to. But she had this nagging feeling that wouldn't go away.....that feeling had a name: Xander. She had been in love with for,oh, like, forever...It was kinda hard to just stop now.
But Willow had to admitt that she had been having fun, that is before her friends arrived.
Buffy, Giles, Xander, and Cordelia burst into the Bronze. They looked flustered, and at that moment Willow knew something was up.
Willow's big brown eyes widened even more as they came into her view.
Buffy's pretty face was red, and the slayer had a worried look on her face. She waved to Willow to get her attention, then her deep hazel eyes fixed on Oz... but before Buffy said anything Cordelia and Xander walked over towards Oz.
Xander's eyes narrowed as he looked at the other boy, the boy that was dating his best friend.....it kinda bugged him...but he couldn't worry about that now.
With Cordelia, the pretty cheerleader, by his side he greeted Oz.
"Hey, Oz. Um, you know I'd really like to know something about, um, guitars! "
Cordelia nodded and turned the boy away from Buffy, Willow and Giles. " You know I've heard that you know a real lot about them...um, maybe you could tell us-"
Oz's face scrunched in confusion, " Um, I'd be happy to give you guys a lesson , sometime. But, I'm kinda on a date with Willow here-"
Xander and Cordelia continued to distract Oz while Buffy and Giles briefed Willow on what was up.
"There's been another death at the high school, " said the Watcher, " This victim has the exact same MO as the others.....throat ripped out, missing body parts-"
"uh-that's okay, you don't have to get into the details," Willow said, " What can I do?"
Buffy frowned and looked at her friend, " We need you to get on the net ASAP and get some info, Will. I know that this is like an extreme bummer....I'm sorry."
Willow sighed, " That's okay." Then something caught the Hacker's eye. " Buffy, your cryptic guy's here, " Willow said with a smile.
Angel headed in their direction. Buffy's eyes lit up at the sight of her 241 year old vampire boy friend. " Hi," Angel said, " I heared about the murders. Is there anything-"
Angel was cut off by Oz, " Willow is something wrong? I mean do you wanna bail, cause if so I must say this is a pretty elaborate-"
"No! No! ," Willow exclaimed walking towards him, " It's not like, that. I'm having a great time, and I'd like to do it again, it's just- I can't....I'm sorry I have to go, it's an emergency-"
And that's when the arrows hit, Willow felt herself stumble. She felt dizzy, the room was spinning. She looked around her and some of the others were holding their heads....moaning....* Oh, God What's going on, * she thought.
Then everything went black for a moment....when Willow opened her eyes everything was fuzzy. She heard voices, but she couldn't place them with faces. She felt so strange.....then things became clear, and Willow found herself looking into the most beautiful eyes she had ever seen. Dark and moody, yet sweet and caring....beautiful eyes....the eyes of an angel....Angel.
* Oh ....Wow, * Willow thought. She felt her whole body tremble as she looked at him. He was gorgeous, perfect, everything.....but what was going on? For just a moment the image of Xander floated through her head, but was immediatly pushed aside when Angel looked at her.
"Buffy, Willow, are you alright," Angel asked offering a hand to the girls. * What happened here,* he thought. Then he noticed that only Willow took his offered hand, but Buffy was staring at someone else. Not just staring....but STARING, dreamily. A sick feeling washed over Angle as he realized who she was staring at. That kid....Xander.
Buffy was fixated on him. Her hazel eyes lingering too long on him.....he was still getting up. Normally Buffy would rush over to help a friend, but she was awe struck.....by Xander. Goofy, sarcastic, Xander. * What about Angel,* her mind said for a moment, " No, it's Xander. It always has been."
As she looked at him, he started to rise. His vision was focusing and he saw a flash of red. A girl, beautiful, no gorgeous, a goddess.....his best frined. Willow. Why haden't he realized how beautiful she was? Why was he so captivated by her now....or had he always been captivcated and just not realized it. Jealousy filled Xander as he saw who was helping Willow to her feet. It was HIM.
Giles glasses had fallen to the floor when the shock had rushed over him, he couldn't really see anything. He fumbled on the floor for his glasses ,and along the way he bumped into someone who was sitting on the floor. Who was it? He found his glasses next to the figure and immediatly put them on his head. Then he saw her. Beautiful....blonde.....and a teenager. * Oh god ," he thought as a strange feeling washed over him, * Wow...She's-she's Buffy. A girl.* Giles stared at his slayer for a while , feeling strange and wanting to leave so he didn't do or say anythign he'd regret.
He looked across the floor and found that Cordelia was still lying on the floor beside Oz. The two of them must have bumped into each other, because each was holding their head in their hands. Cordelia was mumbling and complained that she couldn't see straight Giles rushed over to the teens to see if they were alright.
"Cordelia, Oz...:"
* Who's that,* Cordelia wondered as she opened her eyes. The voice was soothing, and rich, and as she opened her eyes she relaixed....it was Giles. Giles.....handsome. Cordelia batted her eyelashed and pouted as he helped her to her feet. * Hold it,* she thought* What's wrong -* Then she forgot the rest of the thought as she looked into Giles eyes....then Cordelia felt someone staring at the back of her head.
She whipped around to find Oz drooling over her....she ignored it and turned back to Giles.
Angel looked at Willow who was standing a little too close to him and then he looked at Xander who was staring at Willow, and then at Buffy who was ignoring him and staring at Xander. And why was Giles staring at Buffy, and Cordelia staring at Giles, and Oz staring at Cordelia? Angel moved away from Willow , who seemed to be fixated on him.
He looked around and said, " What the hell is going on here!??"
