Author’s Note: I would like to express a very special Thank You to Melinda S. Dawney. She is the writer of the greatest fanfic I’ve ever read, called: Friendship. She’s the reason that I decided to give the fic a try. Thank you Melinda for all the help with the story. Without it, there’s no telling how the story would have turned out sounding. You’re the best!!
2nd Author’s Note: Okay, in my opinion, the “happiness” curse thing doesn’t make sense. The way I look at it, I don’t think it’s still there, because when the spell was cast, it wasn’t like they counted on Angel getting his soul back once it was lost because of the one true moment of happiness. So I decided that it wasn’t going to work that way in my world and that the curse wouldn’t be there! Happy Reading!!

Part Six
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, Willow walked into the library and everyone was still standing up, not saying much, but she could tell that they had been discussing what had just happened. She looked directly at Faith then....”You know, you really did deserve that. What were you thinking? This isn’t your fight. You don’t even know him and he’s never done anything to you. You’ve heard our stories sure, but don’t put your nose into something that you think should be your business!” Willow was getting worked up. The last time she had taken charge like that was when she when she was telling Giles and Angel that they were both pulling Buffy in different directions, which happened just before Buffy and Cordelia had almost been eaten by a giant demon snake. Of course, Giles remembered this when he had heard Willow’s tone while she was talking to Faith...he knew she meant business. Xander had been about to say something but changed his mind rather than having Willow jump on him too.
“Willow,” Giles said. “Is she...I mean, Is Buffy okay. I mean, is there anything any of us can do?” Willow turned her head to look at Giles.
“No...I mean, yeah....she’s fine, but if you want to help, then try to understand. Just...” She said looking at Xander, “Just give her a chance to talk. She’s tried to explain once, but was rudely interrupted..” she looked at all of them this time....”and several times, I might add! Would you like me to go get her now, or just leave her alone?” Willow asked. Then Faith got up...
”Go get her Will, both of them, I think I need to apologize.” So Willow left then. She walked back down the hall and into the girls room but stopped just inside the door. When she walked in she saw Angel standing with his back to the door and his head leaned down on his girlfriends shoulder. She gathered that he had been standing there holding her friend like that for the past ten minutes, since she’d left them there alone. She started to back up out the door when she heard Buffy speak. She had looked around the side of Angel’s arm to see who had come in.
“Will, it’s okay...what’s up? Is something wrong?” Buffy asked.
Willow shook her head. “No, they...well, they just asked me to come and see if you two would come into the library again for a few minutes. Do you want to? ‘Cause...if not, I’ll just tell them that you were gone when I came in here and that I couldn’t find you anywhere in the school...” Buffy thought about it for a minute, then looked at Angel.
“Do you care if we just go...I need to go let my mother know I’m alive.” She asked.
“No, that’s fine with me. Will...you care to lie for us? We’ll drop in tomorrow night or something around 7:30 or whenever.” Angel asked Willow.
She nodded then said...”Okay, you two be careful. Promise me.” She said. At the same time they both smiled at each other then looked back at Willow.
“We will.” They said at the same time.
“Okay, see you guys tomorrow night.” Then she was gone. They waited for couple minutes then left.
When Willow got back to the library everyone was expecting Buffy and Angel to be in tow. But when neither of them came in, they all looked at her questioningly. “Well,” Willow started. “They’re gone. I don’t know where they went, but when I went back to the bathroom, where I left them, they weren’t there. You guys ran them off!” She had barely finished her sentence when Xander started in.
“What do you mean, ‘they’re gone’? Are you serious, you didn’t see them anywhere? Where could they have gone to” You were only gone for like five minutes! And....” Willow was wishing he would just shut up. So she interrupted him.
“Xander! Again...just be quiet! Forget it okay!”
He tried to start in again, “..but....”
Willow stopped him again, hoping this time it would work. “No! No buts...you see my ‘resolve face’? Don’t make me show you again. They’ll show up later, if not...you know Buffy. She’ll come back tomorrow. She can’t ever stay away for too long.” With that, Willow sat down and said, “Let’s just get back to work...we’ll deal with it later.” Everyone was kind of shocked to have heard Willow say all of that stuff so they all just kind of sat down and got back to work.
Buffy and Angel were walking down the sidewalk and had just turned down the road that headed towards her house. “Angel...I’m not so sure my mom should know about this right now. I mean...my mother doesn’t know how to except things and this is something that’s going to wig her out completely...and..”
Angel interrupted her mid-sentence. “Buff, it’s okay. I promise, don’t worry about it. I’ll wait outside while you go in and I’ll come through your window.” They were holding hands as she started to walk up to her steps. She stopped on the third step where she was level with his eyes.
“I love you...” She said. Then she leaned forward and kissed him lightly before turning and going into the house. When she walked in, she found her mother sitting in the kitchen drinking a cup of coffee. Her mother hadn’t heard her come in. “Mom...” Buffy said, startling her mother.
“Buffy, where have you been? Why didn’t you call. I thought you were dead somewhere. I even called Mr. Giles and all of your friends. None of them knew where you were...Except that Willow girl. She acted kind of funny, but, she’s always been like that. Oddly enough, she was the only one who was rather reassuring of your whereabouts. She told me that she was sure you were okay, that you always were. But none the less, you’re in trouble for disappearing like that young lady...” Joyce went on and on.
“But mom, I’m okay, see!” She turned around all the way so her mother could see that she was safe and unharmed.
“Just...just go to your room Buffy. We’ll talk about this later!” Joyce pointed towards the stairs.
“Okay, okay...I’m going.” Buffy said. Then she turned and headed upstairs. She didn’t understand why her mother always made such a big deal about little things. Sure, she was gone for, like, a day, but she was safe the whole time. (She just didn’t know the whole story!) Buffy thought. As she went into her dark bedroom, she expected to see Angel standing there waiting on her, but when she didn’t, she started to look around the room and all of the sudden she felt someone grab her from behind. She didn’t say a word, but instead, just stood still.
“It took you long enough...” She heard Angels voice whisper in her ear. She turned to look at him and was kind of surprised when he kissed her before she could say anything at all. She hadn’t known him to be majorly aggressive, but as she thought about it, she came to the conclusion that she didn’t really mind it all that much. The kiss seemed to last forever until they finally broke apart. Of course, it was only one of them that ever needed to come up for air. He always seemed to take that into consideration which the girl appreciated, seeing as how his kisses always left her breathless and on the edge.
She didn’t mind this though. The only part that bothered her was that it was always hard to stop. If she was anywhere else, she might not worry so much about where things were going, but the fact of the matter was that they were standing in her bedroom, a dark bedroom for that matter, and they were in her house, her mothers house, which her mother was always in. Had her mother not been home, there’s no telling what would happen. And while they were standing there kissing, again...they fell back onto Buffy’s bed and were there for some time when all of the sudden her mother burst into the room. Angel didn’t even turn to look. He was up and out of the window before Joyce could even see who her daughter was with.
