5:45 Pm
Angel stired, groggily awakening to the buzzing sound of his alarm clock. It was almost night fall. he mused, putting together his standard oufit.He just had to see Buffy tonight, Miraculously, she was one of the few people that had understood him. he thought, marveling on his girlfriend's abilty to defend the world. Xander was very lucky to be able to spend time with her. he mused, although he knew the guy wasn;t fully aware of the advantages of living, and by extension being able to see Buffy regardless of the time of day.Sure it was romantic to see her at night, it was also an enormous pain to be confined to those hours.
Although it wasn't the typical qualites that one looked for in women, he wasn't the typical guy either. Most 242 year olds were 6 feet under, not frequenting clubs and bars. Sighing, Angel briefly wished that he could be 17 years old again...in the 1990's. Growing up in medival times was not a plesant experience: he had known several people who died of small pox and other diseases now eradicated. On top of that, his mortalself had been disgusted by the lack of respect accorded to women in those days. Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that he would see women openly voting, attending school and owning property. Although it was no big deal to Buffy, it was very exictingfor him to witness such things. If becoming a vampire had a silver lining to it, this was unquestionably it, although he wished that his sisters could've had the chance to see such progress too.Giving the notion one more thought, he headed out into the swiftly descending nightfall

The Bronze that night
Surveying the crowd, Buffy spotted Willow, Oz and Zander's table and joined them. Oz was a reccently added member of their "clique" and the keader singer of Dingoes ate My Baby, he also conviently happend to be a werewolf. While the revelation wasn;t realy suprising given their weird love lives, it was not something that one happend to come across in books on dating. Since that pivotal night, Oz and Willow had become almost inseprable. Curriouslty getting the best of her, Buffy actualy wondered if it was possble for the two of them to get surgicaly joined. As selfish as the idea probaly seemed, she had wondered if anybody had ever requested such special surgery. she reasured herself. Willow's undertaking the monster/human dating thing had created an unoffical support group for them, and they had jokingly nicnamed it Monster Daters Annyomous. Technicaly, Xander's fling with Cordelia also made him elgible for membership, but nobody was quite sure what kind of monster she realy was .
After their tryst, Angel had briefly gone on a psyhcotic rampage, temporarily loosing control of his demon. She had heard talk about how sex with strong women made some men go crazy, this just happend to be the first time that she actualy saw that happen. On the other hand, she thought that her unique slayer chemistry had set him off kilter. Secretly, she hoped that the latter was the correct answer, it would be much easier for her to personaly deal with: should they decide to have sex again, they would simply use protection.Buffy wished that her sex education class had adressed such things, it had just provided information on human to human contact, and it wasn't like she could've requested information on it either: Synder would've loved to see her carted out in a straight jacket. As for moomy dearest, she coudn't tell her about slaying, how on earth would she tell her that her boyfreind was realy a 242 year old vampire. she reflected, remembering her 19 year old ex-boyfriend. Although her mom wasn't pleased with him, Buffy didn't have to conceal half as much either. Currently, her life was a cross between Charlie's Angels, Scooby Doo and Casper The freindly ghost, sommething that would also never look good on a college application essay.
Like all good high school Juniors, they had been bombarded with moutains of information regarding college applications. There had even been a college night, but patrol had caused her to miss it. Willow and Oz were certain to attend their dream college, she herself wasn't so sure. Unlike Cordelia, Buffy's unstellar grades were the result of actual harship, not an inabilty to plan ahead. Slaying did cut into her studying time dramaticaly, and her low GPA was to show for it. Privately, she worried that she was lumped in with Cordelia at times, a rather uncomfortable thought. As for Xander, he possed an indordinate amount of hidden talent that college admissions people seemed to support.There was no need for him to worry about his accademic futre either. There also was little chance that sunnysale high would send a transcript highlighting her intellectual abilties. She was postive that Synder would write a letter emphasizing her "crazy" behavior and other stuff that would seal her fate. Naturaly, Giles and Ms .Calendar would write supportive letters, yet Buffy doubted their effectiveness in cancelling adminstrative observations.
"Buffy" Willow mentioned breaking her train of thought, "are you okay, you've been staring off with a blank look for a while"
"Yeah, I''m okay, I'm just thinking about varrious things thatare going on" she replied, absently stiring her cappuchino while continuing "It's just a combination of things that haven't happened, that shoudn't have happened, and things that have hapened. I just wish that my life was semi normal for once. Then I probaly wouldn't even have theese brief moments where I start freaking out about all of the little things that are running around in my head.
