Note: As per request of BelovedSlayer and Angels Shadow I’ve decided to redo and add on to my very first fic, I’ll Never Forget. As for the redone part I probably won’t be changing a lot of the basic things. I’ll probably make chapters longer or add chapters in, things like that. I most likely won’t be changing much of what was already written though. It’ll mostly just be adding on and I’ll be taking the story further to make it longer as a whole. Since this was my first fic ever I’m leaving the old version up and just adding this one as a new story because I’m just nostalgic like that. I just wanted to have the original still there. Well now that I’m a little more experienced with fan fic I hope this version will be more enjoyable. I also wanted to give a shout out to those who have been reading and reviewing for me since the beginning and still are reading and reviewing for me today. Angels Shadow and BelovedSlayer, thanks guys, it means more to me then you could ever know.
Disclaimer: The lines in Buffy’s dream are taken from the episode, “I Will Remember You” of the show Angel.
He looked at her so peaceful, so quiet. The sounds of her slow, sleeping breaths were all he could hear. He loved to watch her sleep. He could lay there for hours just watching and listening.
“Angel?” She said as she slowly opened her eyes and looked up at him with a giant smile. “Mmm I love waking up next to you.”
Angel just looked down at her and smiled. She knew he felt the same way; he didn’t have to say it.
“How long have you been awake?” She asked as she looked at him with wonder.
“About an hour, I just love watching you sleep.” He leaned in towards her and kissed her softly.
“Tell me you’ll never leave me,” she said with a smile.
“I’ll never leave you!” He leaned into her lips again kissing her with the kind of passion only soul mates have.
A faint voice that seemed to be coming from out of the blue yelled, “Angel!”
He slowly pulled away from Buffy and looked around with a confused expression, wondering where the voice was coming from. Then he heard it again, this time louder, “Angel, Angel wake up!”
He sat up quickly, startled from his rude awakening. He rubbed his big brown eyes and looked to the door of his room to see Cordelia standing in the doorway waiting impatiently.
Angel laid back down rubbing his head, “what is it Cordelia?”
“Sorry to wake you boss but the helpless await. You have two messages. One from a woman claiming to be trapped in her house with her dead dog’s spirit trying to possess her and the other is from a man who says his dead ex-wife is stalking him. Oh…and there’s a man upstairs who says he needs to speck with you immediately.”
“Who is he?” He asked with a puzzled face.
“How should I know?”
He looked at her with disappointment, “Cordelia…”
“What? He wouldn’t say his name he just said he needed to talk to you. God, you look at me as if I didn’t even ask his name gezz.”
He got up out of bed and found his black, silk, button down shirt on the dresser and put it on. The two proceeded to the elevator, got in and went up to the second floor.
When they reached the second floor they saw a very nervous looking man sitting in a waiting chair rubbing his hands together and just staring at the ground in a daze. He had fear in his eyes and sweat running down his cheeks. His hands were beginning to turn red from rubbing them so hard.
Angel and Cordy looked at each other with a ‘here we go again’ kind of look. Cordy went back to her desk and sat down. Angel walked over to the nervous man and asked, “Can I help you?”
The man looked up at him anxiously and replies, “oh…yes…are you Angel?”
“Yes,” he replied, “Are you alright? You’re shaking.”
“Oh…yes…I’m alright now. Forgive me, my name is Richard Donald.” He reached out to shake Angel’s hand. Angel reached out as well and they shook hands firmly. “I need your help. I have kind of a weird problem and I was told that you were the person to go to when it comes to weird things.”
“Well you’re in the right place. Angel here is good with the weird and abnormal. You’re in good hands,” Cordelia said with a smile.
Angel looked over at Cordy, “Cordelia could you get Mr. Donald some coffee.” Cordy got up and walked to the coffee machine. Angel looked back at Mr. Donald, “She’s right Mr. Donald whatever your problem is you’re in good hands. Why don’t you start at the beginning and tell me what the problem is.”
Cordelia walked over to Mr. Donald and handed him a mug of hot coffee as he told Angel his story. Then Cordelia walks back to her desk and sat down. She sighed, “Just another day at the office.”

In Sunnydale the sun is shining bright and Buffy is fast asleep in her dorm room. She dreams…
*“Angel? You okay?”
“I feel weird”
“I know. I do, too. I mean, I only came to see you so I could tell you face to face not to see me face to face anymore. And I know there’s a flaw in that logic ointment somewhere, but the next thing I knew, we were being attacked by this Mutant Ninja Demon thing, and we’re on the floor on top of each other, and it’s just really confusing being around you.”*
*“I’m alive.”*
*“I’m really sorry I kissed you like that.”
“You are?”
“Not for the kiss itself.”*
*“It would be smart to wait awhile, see if this mortal thing takes.”*
*“You know, it’s a good thing I didn’t fantasize about you turning human about ten zillion times…because today would have been a real let-down.”*
*“You’re human for like a minute, and already there’s cookie dough fudge mint chip in the fridge.”
“God, I love food.”*
*“I asked them to turn me back.”
“What?! Why?”
“Because more then ever, I know how much I love you.”*
*“So, what, you just took a whole 24 hours to weigh the ups and downs of being a regular Joe and decided it was more fun being a super hero?”
“You know that’s not it. How can we be together if the cost is your life or the lives of others?”*
*“Everything we did?”
“It never happened.”
“It did! It did! I know it did. I felt your heart beat.”*
*“I’ll never forget, I’ll never forget, I’ll never forget.”*
Suddenly, she woke up gasping. She rubbed her face and almost began to cry. The dream felt so real, they were so happy.
Just then Willow walked through the door in her pj’s with her kit of toiletries in hand, “Morning Buffy.”
Buffy looked at Willow, still a little dazed by the dream, with water in her eyes fighting back the tears, “Hey Will,” she said, trying to gain a steady voice.
It wasn’t working, Willow noticed something was wrong, “Buffy is everything ok? You look upset?”
“Yea, I’m fine, just a dream I had…really shook me,” she said while getting out of bed.
“Well do you wanna talk about it? I’m a darn good listener,” Willow said as she smiled brightly.
Buffy smiled at Willow, “I don’t know it was really weird…it was about Angel.”
“Oh…well maybe it’s because you just saw him, and it brought back all those feelings and stuff,” Willow said as she looked at Buffy with an unsure face.
Buffy smiled at Willow to assure her that she was helping just by listening. “Yea, I guess. It was weird though. It was almost as if it was an alternate version of what really happened when I went to see him. It just felt so real though as if it really did happen. I dreamt that while I was at Angel’s this demon attacked and we tracked it and killed it. But some of its blood mixed with Angel’s and it turned him human. We were so happy, but he got worried that he wouldn’t be able to protect me now that he didn’t have vampire strength so he asked these oracle things to turn back time as if that day never happened. Only Angel would know what happened so that he would know how to kill the demon.”
“Wow!” Willow said just staring at Buffy in aw. “I don’t know though Buff, demons turning vampires into humans, oracles turning back time, seems a little unrealistic.”
“Yea, I know but the thing is…the demon in my dream was the same demon that attacked Angel and me in his office that day I went to visit him. Angel killed it, but it was weird, he knew exactly how to kill it as if he'd already done it…” The wheels were turning in Buffy’s brain. She knew something wasn’t right here.
“Huh…that is weird. What do you think it means?” Willow asked, looking rather confused.
“I don’t know but I’m gonna find out.” She looked at her watch and her ‘oh shit face appeared,’ “Oh shit!” she said as she freaked and franticly started looking for something to wear. “I’ll find out what’s going on but first…a little thing I call learning. Later Will, thanks for listening.”
“Bye Buffy, have fun learning.”
Buffy rushed out the door and began running down the hall. Willow watched and smiled as she shook her head, “Just another day in Sunnydale.”
