Disclaimer: I think everyone knows I own no part of Buffy or her world. Go ahead and rub it in. Thanks a lot! Anyway I am making no money, probably just going to get a lot of criticism out of this so don't sue. Joss Wheadon, the WB, and Fox are the rightful owners I believe.
This is part three (everyone cheers). The other two parts happened at the same time and were from the perspectives of Buffy and Angel respectively. This part is when the parallel lines meet (impossible you say..not if they are story lines:).
Hope it's been fun for everyone...see you next time I decide to write something.

Part Three
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Angel walked slowly back towards his apartment. He felt like crawling into a hole in the ground and just lying there for a hundred years. This had turned out to be a horrible night. He stared up at the moon, it was full tonight; so full he couldn't believe it didn't just fall right out of the sky. His eyes on the sky he bumped heavily into someone.
"I'm so sorry," he muttered distractedly.
"Well you should be!" he heard a dear voice say. "I really like these shoes and you stepped all over them."
"Buffy?!" he exclaimed, stopping the girl as she turned away.
"Angel," she whispered turning slowly to face him. It was true. After all that looking she had just gone and bumped into him. I guess that's what they call fate, she thought dreamily as she drank in the sight of him. He stood uncertainly on the sidewalk, unsure of his place in her heart. Well she would show him his place, she thought as she embraced him tightly.
Immediately his arms encircled her and their lips met. His kiss left her heart pounding and she stood dazzled in his arms. This was what she had been dreaming of and Angel did not disappoint. Their lips met again and she felt the ground sway under her. But Angel's strong arms held her tight and she felt safe.
Angel held her close, as if he would never let go. In between kisses he stole glances at her face. The look in her eyes was full of love, and her mouth turned up in a smile when she caught him staring at her.
"Angel," she said and his heart raced to hear those lips say his name. "We have to go somewhere a little more private."
"Why?" he murmered. "I don't care who sees us."
"That's because you don't have to deal with all the people who live in this town." She gently touched his face as she said, "Come with me." She led him to the top of a secluded hill and they sat together looking at the stars. He held her in his arms and she thought she had never been more happy in her whole life. The dark seemed warm and the stars were jewels in the moon's crown. They sat in comfortable silence. There was no need for words, but finally Buffy spoke.
"I told you I'd see you around," she said happily.
"What were you doing out so late anyway," Angel asked. "Isn't it way past your bedtime?" She slapped him lightly.
"Ha, ha Mr. I'm 200 and something years older than you."
"You must be one of those girls who goes for older guys, " Angel teased.
"Yeah, you're the first date I've had in months who isn't a skeleton. It's just so hard to find well preserved two hundred and forty year olds these days." Angel laughed at her comments. "It's nice to hear you laugh." she said. "You should do it more often."
"Sometimes it's hard for me to laugh, there's so much sadness it seems like there's no room for laughter." Buffy touched his chest over the spot where his heart was.
"You have so much pain here," she said sadly. "I feel almost guilty that my life has been easier than yours." He covered her hand with his.
"Don't feel guilty," he said. "You make me happy, and besides you have plenty of problems in your own life."
"Nothing I can't handle," she said leaning towards him for a kiss, "with a little help from my Guardian Angel." She looked at his face for a moment. "Angel?" she began, "I have a favor to ask."
"Anything you want."
" Show me your true face." Angel started to protest but Buffy stopped him with a kiss. "I need to see it." Sighing he agreed. Buffy watched closely as his face changed. She looked at the familiar visige of a vampire but she felt none of the hatred the face usually brought with it. Deliberately she grabbed the back of Angel's head and pulled him to her. She kissed him as deeply as she knew how, telling him without words that she loved him, every part of him. When they broke the kiss Angel pushed back a lock of her hair.
"It's going to be hard," he said.
"I know," she answered simply. They both sighed, willing to try for the sake of love.
