Robby walked through the rows of grave stones looking for something to dust. It had been about and hour since she'd left the school and there hadn't been a single vampire.
She sighed, "You might as well come out, I know you're behind the headless statue."
Her stalker came out from their hiding place, "How long have you known I was there?"
"Since you started following me three minutes after I left the school. How come you aren't with Buffy at the Bronze?"
Angel walked beside her, "Not much of a dancer."
"So you decided to stalk me."
"I prefer the word observing."
"Observing what?"
"Newest member of the team."
"You could've just asked to come along."
"I'll keep that in mind."
They walked silently for a while when Robby suddenly asked, "Have you ever heard of the Shanshu Angel?"
"No. What is it?"
"It's a prophecy. Says that a vampire with a soul will play a key role in the apocolypse for good or evil and afterwards becomes human."
Angel looked at her in shock.
"Yep human. His past erased and he gets a second chance at life."
"And you think it's me?"
"Well you are a vampire with a soul and you're fighting the battle. I wouldn't be surprised."
"Why are you telling me."
"So you know you aren't just fighting so aren't living off rats."
"Do you know when?"
"No it didn't say."
"Thank you."
"Don't mention it."
Again they didn't talk for a while and Robby broke the silence, "How's you meet Buffy?"
"She knocked me flat on my butt."
"Seriously?"
"Don't go there."
"Alrighty then. You love her?"
Angel looked at her surprised, "Yeah, why?"
"She loves you I can tell, wanted to know if you felt the same."
"You don't like her do you?"
"It's not that I don't like her, I don't know her. She just seems...what's the word I'm looking for?"
"Spoiled, self centered, whiny, braty, not appreciating anything she has just wanting more and a normal life?"
"I was going to say over confident but those work. Is there trouble in paradise?"
"No, she just...it's..."
"All the things you just listed?"
Angel nodded slowly, then he realized he'd just told a huge secret to someone he just met. Someone who could tell Buffy something she was never meant to hear.
"Don't worry, I won't say anything to Buffy."
"How did you know...you're a telepath aren't you?"
"Yeppers. And don't look so confused, some people can read a vampire's mind."
"Great, now I have to watch what I think."
"I don't do it that much."
They got to the entrance of the cemetary and walked down mainstreet.
"So you're not going to talk to her?"
"No, it's nothing. I'm probably just being stupid."
She just nodded then looked up, "It's going to rain."
"How soo..." he was cut off as droplets started falling on them.
They ran to the nearest store which was closed so the stood under the door.
"How long until it stops?"
"Not before day break you should...uh oh."
"What?"
She pointed above his head.
Angel looked up and saw misteltoe hanging above them, "Oh."
They looked at each other uncomfortably.
"I should go," said Robby.
"Yeah me too."
They tried moving but their legs wouldn't move.
"Oh no," said Angel.
"Enchanted misteltoe," moaned Robby, "what now?"
"We might as well, no one's here."
"I won't tell if you don't."
"Agreed."
They tried one more time to move but no luck.
They leaned in and their lips met. Now enchanted misteltoe will let you go with just a peck, but this lasted longer then a peck. No movement, no tongue, just a soft kiss.
When they finally pulled apart they looked at each other in shock that the other hadn't stopped it sooner.
Then they ran as far away from each other as they could get.
