“What! No! I’m not going back there! Come on Angel, someone’s got to stay here, look after things.” Cordelia protested, she then continued to walk up the steps up to her room.
“Cordelia.” Angel said standing at the bottom of the steps, “Cordelia…. Cordelia” Cordelia continued to walk up the steps; “Cordelia” Angel said sternly “We all have to go, you are coming with us, no protests, nothing. Ok?” he turned to face the rest of Angel Investigations all standing by the door clutching bags of clothes and food. “We are leaving right now.” Cordelia opened her mouth to speak but closed it and then turned and went into her room to grab a few things.
“Man! Angel, that was… sort of, mean. I’ve never heard you talk like that; I’ve never heard anyone talk to Cordy like that. Looks like threatening Buffy is a good way to make you angry.” Gunn exclaimed.
“Well we need to hurry, and we need all the people we can get. This Sara girl, I don’t want to underestimate her. Sure all we have seen her kill is vampires but I’m not going to take the risk of letting her show us what she is really made of.” Angel said grabbing a few weapons and walking up to the door, he paused and reached in his pocket to retrieve his car keys then proceeded to walk out the door.
“Mr Broody has spoken, let’s get moving.” Cordelia said from where she had emerged out of her room. The whole gang walked out of the door and piled into Angel’s car. “Sunnydale here we come.”
“If I whistle a jaunty tune whilst I try and slay, Xander, then the vampire knows I’m coming. Get it?” Buffy said annoyed at the lack of common sense Xander had been showing. She was beginning to regret letting him come along.
“I was bored Buffy, you haven’t dusted anything tonight, you haven’t even sensed a vamp. You’ve found nada, zip, zilch… the big goose egg.” Xander replied whilst leaning on the side of a gravestone. “Looks like Sunnydale’s no longer the big demon party ground it used to be. They are all probably bigging it up in Ibiza are something.”
“Bigging it up?” Buffy looked at him amused.
“Heard Giles say it, thought it was cool.” Xander replied.
“Let’s try not to copy his example, remember how bad swearing is and the English are fond of swearing.” Buffy replied carefully sitting down next to Xander.
“I have never ever heard a British person swear. Well, in real life anyway.” Xander said crossing his legs.
“How many Brits do you know Xander?” Buffy questioned Xander.
“Well… Giles.” Xander said and sighed. “Oh and Spike! I forgot about him. He swears all the time!”
“Even though he was around in the 1800s he still swears like some 1980s sex pistols look alike.” Buffy said.
“Actually, The Sex Pistols were around in the 1970s to be exact and we did swear in the 1800s. Just not as colourfully.” Came a voice from behind them.
“Spike.” Xander said in disgust.
“As much as I enjoyed you bad mouthing my country, I suggest you get inside quick.” Spike said walking round to face them.
“And why should we do that Spike?” Buffy questioned.
“Because Nancy Boy’s coming to town.”
“And we are hiding because?” Dawn asked her sister whilst slumping back into the arm chair.
“We are not hiding Dawn; we are just staying in a vampire free place.” Buffy replied whilst looking out their living rooms window.
“But why?” Dawn said, clearly unhappy with having been banned from going outside. “It’s only Angel Buffy! It’s not like he is evil or anything……………. He’s evil isn’t he?” Dawn said shocked.
“I don’t know Dawnie; he would have called if he is coming; now Angelus on the other hand is fond of surprise visits.” Buffy said walking over to her weapons chest.
“Don’t you think we are, metaphorically speaking, jumping the bullet? We are going on information supplied to us by Spike, who in all sense isn’t the most reliable person we have ever met Buffy.” Giles said whilst rubbing his forehead.
“He has also tried to kill you, numerous times.” Xander added. “As much as I hate dead boy, Buffy, Will here said he cannot be soulless as she souled him up.”
“Unless he managed to get a soulectomy?” Dawn asked. Buffy paused then ignoring her comment said,
“I know he is in Sunnydale, I can feel it.” She continued to rummage in her weapons chest.
“Buffy, I can do a spell to see if he has a soul or not?” Willow offered.
“Wait, so Buffy’s making us all hide just because dead boy forgot to ring her? Isn’t that a bit forward?” Xander asked.
“Do the spell Willow.” Buffy said.
“¿Diosa Gaia oye mi grito, el que esta' conocido como Angelus brilla intensamente adentro? ¿él lleva a cabo su conciencia, él tiene su corazón? ¡Déme una muestra! ¡Demuéstreme! ¡Demuéstreme! ¡Demuéstreme!” Willow said whist sat cross legged on the Summers’s living room floor, she was surrounded by lit candles and had some sort of bowl in front of her. She sat still after staying the incantation. Buffy, Giles, Xander and Dawn were all gathered around watching. They all looked at each other and then back at Willow who sighed and opened her eyes. “Damn it, I was sure it was going to work.”
