A/N: The story was moving to slow for me so I’ve skipped a head a couple of months. Fred is now dead (Sadly) and Illyria is now in the mix. I know this will seem rushed just I want to hurry up and get to the point and that. Kitty and Spike are still in England with the Slayer and the Scobbies thanks to the request of the Powers.

Los Angeles
Angel stared at the woman in front of him. He knew it wasn’t Fred but he still couldn’t help but hope that maybe a part of Fred was still there. Waiting on them. To save her. He shook his head. He knew that wasn’t true. Fred was gone, there was nothing anyone could do about it.
Illyria had taken over Fred’s body and made it her own. It still looked like Fred. Sort of. Angel had to keep reminding himself that it wasn’t Fred. Sometimes he would slip up and accidentally call her Fred when clearly it wasn’t her.
Whenever Angel would slip up Wesley would leave the room quietly. Fred’s death had hit him the most, after being in love with her ever since they met, he had finally told her about his love for her and Fred returned the love. Unfortunately it wasn’t meant to be and Fred had passed away so that Illyria could return to the world.
Gunn wasn’t holding up to well either. Not only had he found out that he himself had played a roll in bringing Illyria back to this world, Wesley had found out as well, resulting in Gunn being rushed into the emergency room after Wesley had stabbed him.
As for Lorne, well Angel wasn’t quite sure how Lorne was holding up. He had barely seen him ever since he became CEO of Wolfram and Hart and even less now thanks to their recent down fall.
Angel couldn’t help but wonder if Wolfram and Hart had anything to do with Fred’s death. Maybe that was the plan, to kill them one by one? After all it was Wolfram and Hart employs that had set up this gig. Well two of them as far as he knew and both of them had paid for what they had done to their beloved Fred.
Angel hadn’t heard from Kitty or Spike since they had went to England. It had been over five months since they left and still no word from them. Angel wasn’t to bothered about it. Spike wasn’t one of his favourite people in the world and he still wasn’t to sure about Kitty but, even though Angel hated to admit this, Angel sort of missed Spike and their arguments.

Wesley sat in the messy apartment beer in one hand TV controller in the other. This is the way things had been ever since… her. Ever since he lost her he was nothing more than the shell of a man he use to be.
Angel had gave him time off to recover for his lose but that wasn’t exactly true. Angel had gave him time off to sort his head out before he went and stabbed another staff member.
So this was the plan until he had to go back to work. He would sleep, eat and drink until it either killed him or he got sick of it. Wesley knew that this wasn’t what Fred would want for him, but to be honest he didn’t give two flying monkeys.
He missed her. He missed the way her soft skin felt so warm against his. The way she could brighten his day just by looking at him. He would miss her.
His Fred.
His Winifred Burkle.

England
Spike watched from the corner he had been thrown in as Kitty fought off the demon by herself. The demon charged at her and Kitty just teleported behind him and tripped him up. The demon got up and glared at her then charged at her again.
The demon knocked her down to the ground and tried to get in a few cheap shots but Kitty managed to block most of them. She then kicked the demon off of her and got to her feet. She ran at the demon and drop kicked him to the ground. She then punched him a couple of times in the face before plunging the dagger that had been nestled in her left doc marten into the demons heart.
Kitty then got to her feet and stared at Spike. “And your meant to be the big bad.” She said shaking her head.
“Its been a while pet.” Spike replied as he got to his feet. He stared at the demon. The demon had appeared while Kitty and Spike were on their way back to the Institute, it had knocked Spike out of the way and gone straight for Kitty.
“Guess we should tell Giles of our finding?” Kitty asked as she began to walk in the direction of the institute. Spike followed her. “First time I’ve had a fight since…” She then trailed off.
“Since?”
“It doesn’t matter. Just not had a fight in a while.” Kitty then looked up at him. “I’m going back to L.A soon. Their going to need my help. Are you going to come back with me? Or are you going to stay here with her?”
Spike pondered that question. Should he go back to L.A with Kitty and help Angel and the gang? Or should he stay here with Buffy. He finally had her, his Buffy, but somehow it didn’t feel right. It didn’t feel the way it use too. The way it felt in Sunnydale.
“I’ll let you sleep on it.” Kitty said.

Los Angeles
Gunn stared at the blue haired woman in front of him. She stared back at him without blinking. She cocked her head to the side and continued to stare at him.
Gunn shook his head and broke eye contact with her. “Man that’s creepy.” He said hobbling over to the couch in Angels office. Angel looked at the 2 people except for him in the room.
“Is this it?” Angel asked. Gunn just nodded. “Where’s Lorne?”
“I’ve not saw Lorne since --” Gunn choked. Angel just nodded. “So what’s this about anyway Angel?”
“The senior partners.” Angel answered.

England
She wasn’t going to cry. She wasn’t allowed to cry. She was the Slayer, she was suppose to be strong all the time. She stared at him and without warning slapped him. Hard. On the cheek.
Spike stared at her wide eyed. “What the bloody hell was that for?!” He shouted at her.
“Your leaving me!” She shouted back. “Again! You promised you wouldn’t leave me!” Spike shook his head and sat down on the edge of the bed and looked around the room.
“Buffy, luv --” he started but Buffy just held up her hand.
“It doesn’t matter. Go. Go back to L.A and help Angel with whatever Kitty says he needs help with.” Buffy sat down next to him. “Even come back here and ask for help if you must.” She then stood up. “But remember, you had your chance with me and you blew it.” she then walked out the room.
