DISCLAIMER: I own nothing(YET!). Joss owns all. I am tres jealous!
~~Wesley POV~~ Three months before.
Wesley stood in Cvyus Vail's mansion. He started at the floor unable to believe what he saw
The body of Wesley Wendom-Price lay in front of him.
"I...I...died?" Wes gasped to himself. Then all the memories came back to him.
"You'll be dead within moments" Illyria had said.
"I know" was the only response he could think of.
Illyria had looked at him with concern then she had asked him what he had hoped she would.
"Would you like me to lie to you now?"
"Yes" I had replied. At this time I know I did not have long and I wanted to die having Fred next to me.
"Thank you. Yes"
I opened my eyes to see Fred's face, her hand stroking my cheek
"Hello there" She smiled
Fred was trying to smile through her tears
"Oh, Wesley. My Wesley"
"Fred" I was using all my energy to make this moment as long as possible.
"I've missed you"
Fred kissed my lips twice gently, sniffled then kissed my forehead.
"It's gonna be OK. It won't hurt much longer, and then you'll be where
I am. We'll be together"
"I—I love you" I stammered.Fred smiled through her tears. "I love you. My love. Oh, my love"
Then the memory went blank. So what do I do now? I walked around the room.All memories flashed through my head.
The bird I had tried to save when it had flown into my window and died when I was young.
Killing my "father".
The kiss with Cordelia on her graduation.
Reading "A little princess" to Fred, then watching her die.
Seeing Illyria for the first time.
Seeing Illyria pretend to be Fred with the Burkles.
I closed my eyes and tried to block out the flashbacks.
I don't want to die I thought, taking a deep breath.
Suddenly the body twitched. Wesley felt himself drawn to his own dead body. He remembered a movie he once watched and lay in the same place as the body.
As he placed his little finger in line with his body's. It's eyes sprung open and it was alive. Wesley had placed his soul back in his body.
Wesley had meet the rest of the gang and together they won the final battle.
~~Cordy's POV~~ 5(ish) months earlier.
"I, uh... just wish I could be there to see it" I told Angel
"What do you mean?" He asked "You're not..."
I turned to face Angel
"I can't stay" I replied "This isn't me anymore. You can say good-bye to the gang
for me, explain everything once you understand"
Angel looked at me and said truefully "That's gonna be never"
He walked towards me.
"I need you here" He whispered sadly.
I couldn't help the tears swelling in my eyes. He was making this hard for me. I never want to leave. I wanted to tell him what I was going to tell him on the night I went to TPTB so long ago. But I couldn't bring myself to say it.
"Don't make it hard, Angel. I'm just on a different road... and this
is my off-ramp. The Powers That Be owed me one, and I didn't waste
it. I got my guy back on track"
"Cordy, there's just—" He started to say.
I touched his face.
"We take what we can get, champ, and we do our best with it. I'll be
seeing you"
I tried to smile through my tears, I turned to walk out of the office but I stopped, turned around and walked quickly up to Angel.
"Oh, what the hell. One for the road?" I laughed
I kissed him, and he kissed me back. Then the phone rang.
"You know, um... I don't...I don't need to get that" Angel looked deep into my eyes.
"That you have to get" I replied
As he walked towards the phone I finished my sentence.
"Oh... and you're welcome!"
Angel answered the phone.
"Hello. Yes, I know. She's... but that's impossible. She's standing
right—"
He turned to look at me, but I had gone back to TPTB before he had had chance to see me again.
~~Cordy POV(still)~~Two-and-a-half months after "Not fade away"
I bowed down before TPTB. I had spent last 4 1/2 months helping guide souls to where they should be, after their bodies had died.
"Cordelia Chase. You have been good helping to guided lost souls. But you don't belong here" The-Powers-That-Be said.
I looked up.
"You seem to be enjoying you time here but we know had your heart truly desires." TPTB continued. "As you have spent a lot of you live fighting evil and you have soothed a lot of lost souls we have decided to grant your desire."
My eyes almost fell out of my head.
"Is this a joke?" I asked "You can't seriously mean that! Maybe you thing my desire is wrong."
"We, here do not joke. Your desire is to go down to earth and fight evil. To see your friends. To tell someone who you feel about them. To wear new Jimmy choos. To have your visions back as you miss them"
I could not believe this. I was going to be alive again. I felt so relived. So excited. So lucky. But one thing nagged at me.
"Cordelia, you mustn't be scared. I can tell that you are from here" TPTB told me. "Your friends won't know that you are back. You can be sent down to them straight away. Or we could send you somewhere else in the city of Angels so you can go when you please?"
"No, I want to go straight to them. Wait, i'll be back in 5 minutes!" I told the people that I now worshiped.
I returned 5 minutes later. I was wearing my most glamourous dress, which was quite revealing, and my now very worn Jimmy choos.
"Very nice" TPTB said. "Now you must keep your eyes closed for five seconds. When you open them you will start to float down in a beam of light. The light will be in the ceiling of the lobby of the Hyperion hotel all of your friends are in the lobby."
"Thanks you" I smiled thinking of what the gang would think of my dramatic appearance. I closed my eyes and started to count.
One - I wonder why they are back in the hotel?
Two - Maybe Angel sold Wolfram and Hart
Three - It could have blown up or something
Four - Why didn't TPTB let me see what was happening to the gang
Five - Next time I die i'll complain.
I took a deep breath and open my eyes. I saw my friends on the ground. They were about to spot me.
Dear TPTB. If you know my desires, PLEASE can I look good and PLEASE can i have a halo?
I felt my hair move into place and something floating above my head.
Thanks so much! I thought. I spread out my arms as if I were an angel. I heard gasps from beneath me. A few moments later I felt my toes touch the ground. I looked at my friends. I nodded at each one and said their names.
"Wesley. Gunn. Illyria?" I wondered.
She shook her head, "Fred"
I smiled at her.
"Are you an Angel?" She asked me.
I smiled and shrugged my shoulders. I turned to Angel. We stared at each other for what seemed like forever. I ran and jumped into his arms crying.
"I have got my memories back. From that night I mean." I whispered in his ear.
"I have to tell you something that I meant to tell you then. I love you Angel, I love you so much!" I wept.
"Shh, stop cry. I love you too, but everyone is staring at us" he whispered back.
