"God, this is the hellmouth shouldn't there be tons of vampires?"
Robby had been looking for something to kill for over an hour without any luck.
"That's it the minute I get out of this town I'm going to L.A."
"I knew you saying you were going to stay was to good to be true."
"Faith..."
"No I get it, this isn't your fight. You're the one that goes to Moscow at midnight and ends up in Vegas by the next mourning. You defend the world by traveling in it, not by living on a hellmouth. I miss that."
"Then come with me."
"Don't make this any more damn difficult."
"I'm not! We can do all the things we said we'd do. We promised. You promised."
"We were five."
"And we'd learned how to take care of ourselves when we were two."
"I didn't make the decision to be a slayer! I didn't choose to be some chosen one!"
"We've always been old enough to make our own decisions. You never cared what other people said they would do if you didn't listen. So what's the decision now?"
Faith buried her fingers in her hair almost pulling it out. She knew what she wanted to do, and consiquences were something she wasn't afraid of. But when ever something good happened to her it always seemed to backfire.
"Faith?"
"I can't.....What the hell. When are we leaving?"
"That's my girl! But this is what you want right? I mean if this is just out of pity then you're gettin' kicked out the car on the highway."
"Please, you think I want to stay here?"
They hugged, then tensed up.
'Angel?" asked Faith telepathicly.
'Angel.'
'Should we say hi?'
'NO!'
'What?'
'I'll tell you later.'
They started walking calmly in another direction. Not so far away that Angel would know they were on to him, but not to close so they wouldn't see him and have to look away quickly.
'So what happened?'
'Faith I really don't want to think about this.'
'Come on, spill.'
'We kind of...well it wasn't like we wanted to we just...'
'What? You what?'
'We kissed!'
'Wow! What kinda kiss? Was it like I need you now! or a soft brush? I bet he's a good kisser. I mean over two hundred he's got to be an expert.'
'Soft brush, and who doggie he's a good...Don't make me think things like that!'
'What?'
'He's with Buffy!'
'And you're a million times better then her. I got nothin' against B, but I know both of you and you are a way nicer person. I mean you only think about other people. B's okay but...'
'I've heard.'
'Huh?'
'Forget it.'
Angel watched as the girls walked through the cemetary.
'They know I'm here!' he thought to himself, 'and she doesn't want things to be ackward. Smart! That's good. We stay away from each other it'll all go away. She said it herself she's leaving. Just stay away! I really need to stop following them!'
But he didn't. I mean if he didn't what kind of story would this be?
'Why aren't they talking? Wait...telepath! They're talking about me in their heads!'
He followed them to Robby's apartment. She was on the bottem floor so they jumped of the porch gate and went in through the kitchen doors.
Still wanting to know what was going on he got as near to the porch as he could and listened. Vampore ears come in very handy when you're listening in on other people's convorsatons.
"Oh my god!"
"Shut up!"
"I can't believe you still have Mr. Hugsy."
"Well you still have Mr. Clevensteal!"
"Leave the zebra out this!"
They laughed.
"You got any coke around here?"
"In the fridge."
"So are you going to talk to Angel?"
"Of course not! We're leaving in two days. All I have to do is avoid him and it'll go away."
"But..."
"No buts!"
"I still say you should talk to him."
"And what good would that do me?"
"You'd really like him, even if you decided to be just friends. He's...he didn't think I was just another slut when I got here. He thinks I change."
"You are changing."
"Yeah, thanks to him."
"I'm sorry."
"It wasn't your fault."
"Yes it was, if I'd tried harder to find you then..."
"Hey! The watcher's are the one's that took me half way across the country and knocked you out."
"Very true."
"Hey! You agreed to that a bit to fast."
"Well you had a very convincing argument."
"Why I odda!"
Faith chased her around the apartment.
Angel smiled and walked home.
'Two days. Stay away from her. Two days.'
