And Buffy certainly didn't belong to Angel any longer. He was his own self. His know evil self.                               "Miss Summers would you care to join us today?" Asked a far off voice. Buffy snapped back to reality.                "Umm sorry, did you ask me that again?" She shifted in her chair and she looked away as she felt heat rush up her neck to her face. She glanced at Willow, her dear computer hacker friend, as also a Slayette. Willow gave out a helpless shrug and Xander had a look of amusement on his face. Buffy shrunk back in her desk even more, hoping to disappear.                "I asked if you would care to join us today Miss Summers." Answered Mr. Arnold their new History teacher. It seemed they were always getting new teachers, and there was a huge problem with substitutes, and Xander always happens falls for them, as long as they where female. Yes Buffy could name a few problems with substitute teachers.                "Umm sure, sorry." Murmured Buffy quietly, already distracted from History and all means. Mr. Arnold started to drown on again about the early 1800's, and yet again Buffy's mind wandered off towards Angel. She just HAD to figure out how to cure him , give him back his soul... She wrote Willow a short desperate letter to help her find something to help Angel, for about the billionth time.                "Hey Willow? Psst! Here." With that she grabbed all her books into her arms and murmured some lame excuse about not feeling well and made a bee-line for the door. Buffy's tall black heeled boots made an echoing sound on the floor corridor as she headed toward the library. Buffy pushed open the door with her hip and flung her books across the floor, making a huge dent in the wall were they hit. She didn't notice. She flung herself into a chair, head in her hands she started to weep uncontrollably.                Giles poked his head out off his private office door, seeing it was his Slayer he dropped his books he was researching on the floor, unnoticed and rushed to Buffy's side.                "Buffy what has happened?" Giles British accent seemed harsher than usual. He had never seen Buffy cry, let alone weep. He reached out to put a hand on her shoulder but drew it back. Not knowing what to do, he wasn't very good at this kind of thing. He was her Watcher, she was suppose to be tough, then again, so was he.                "Oh Giles, it's terrible, terrible! I just can't handle it any more." With saying this she ripped the cross off her throat, as if to make a point and continued "Right know if a vampire so mush as will growl at me I will..." The library door burst open and Buffy stopped in mid-sentence, like a deer frozen in the head lights of a car. She looked away. Embarrassed. Willow briskly in walked, Xander right on her heels.        "What's wrong Buffy? Mr. Arnold is really worried about you, he even excused us for the rest of class, to see if we could help." Xander said stepping in behind Buffy, as he started to massage her shoulders tentatively. "No wait dumb question. Sorry Buf.., let me guess, it has to do with Dead boy? Umm Angel?" Willow already on her way to the computer, in quick hurried strides, sat down on the well cushioned chair and started to type away at the computer, she seemed to completely vanish into the computer. She was tapping away at it at an incredible speed.                                                                                               *       *       *                "Buffy I'm not finding anything here that can help you, and your going to be late for your next class, The bells about to ring..." Giles called out from behind a big wall of books "You might want to be on your way, if Principal Snyder finds out your skipping classes, you won't be here for a while to come, which means no research to help Angel. You already skipped English."                "Screw English Giles, SCREW the world at this point. I really couldn't care less... EVER! And I'm not leaving till we find something!!! Is that to much to ask for?" Buffy called from the corner of the room were all her secret weapons were to stake Vampires, Werewolf's and other Undead creatures of Sunnydale. She looked back to her work. The stake she was making looked really funny, it was to way to small, about 4 inches long. Instead of the foot it was suppose to be and it was so pointy! Buffy immediately dropped it and took a step back.                "Umm Giles? Your right. I'm going to class know." Buffy thought to herself with a shudder. Picking up her books for her Bio. Class, she hurried out of the library.                                                                                                                                      * *   * *Much later at Buffy's house                "Damn it! I forgot my cross at the library. Now I'll have to go get I back." Buffy cried out in her sleep. Buffy sat bolt-up in bed "Why the heck did that dream wake me up? Wired." Her feet hit the cold floor, and with a shudder she pushed herself from her bed. She thought to herself on the way to her closet. "It must be important, have to get it..." All she remembered was that it was really all dark... And evil, only a single yellow object shone out. The dark had seemed so afraid of it ,in a way. Buffy pulled on a short black skirt ,and a light lavender shirt, made sure her ring was on properly, heart pointed out. Grabbed her black leather jacket_ the on Angel had given her. Put on a pair of her heeled shoes, got some stakes, just in case and opened her bedroom window. She jumped out of it quietly. Buffy walked around to the front of the house and started to walk towards the school.                "Why Is my Slayer sense tingling ?" She wondered out loud. She then saw the glint of silver off to the side of the side walk. She went to inspect and picked it up , let out a gasp and put the object in her skirt pocket and continued walking, With a smile on her face.                                                                               *   *   *                Buffy went to the back door of the library and tapped on the door twice, looked around to make sure no one was watching and tapped the door again. She heard soft footsteps, definitely not Giles. She waited.                "Well at least my sense went off!" Buffy whispered to herself just as the door opened and Willow peeked out trough the gap in the door. A look of surprise came across her face then one of guilt, or was it one of sorrow Willow opened the door and the sound of Aqua hit Buffy full blast . Buffy wondered, Also the smell of freshly brewed coffee hit her making her take a step back. Willow stepped further into the library to let Buffy in.                "Umm , hey Buffy. I'm kind of not done some of my research yet." Willow said in a very quiet voice that seemed got more and more high pitched.               "Aqua Will? What's it for and the coffee?" Buffy cried out.                "Umm... Well I was really tiered and I needed to stay awake to finish this research, I found the Aqua tape in your locker, I hope you don't mind. There actually pretty good, and I needed some caffeine, and I couldn't get chocolate or anything cause I didn't have any money, I just borrowed the teachers lounge coffee make." Willow said looking very flushed.                "So your finally waking up and smelling the roses Will, good for you" Buffy told Willow happily.               "Would you like some coffee Buffy?" Willow asked very uncomfortably                                                                                                  *   *   *                "So basically you've been here since school ended and you didn't find ANY information? What's with the net, you'd think they'd have how to give a demon back his damned soul! God! Damn it, I had had a good feeling on my way over, my Slayer sense must be going." Buffy exclaimed, obviously brooding.                "I tried Buffy, But the net doesn't have anything on how to give a demon a back his *damned soul*, and what's this about your *Slayer sense* thing? Willow mussed. "And why exactly did you come to school, it's not just cause of this *Slayer sense thing.*" finish Willow.                "Well no I didn't just come cause of my *Slayer sense thing*, I had a dream that was all dark, evil and really freaky. Then it suddenly flashed to my cross, and it showed a yellow object, then I woke up, I had left my cross here at school... I threw it at Giles to make a point. I came to get it. Be right back. It's in the weapons room... Somewhere. Now If you'll excuse me for a moment." Buffy rushed off toward the in closed area where all her weapons were secretly hidden from view.                Buffy slowly surveyed the room for her silver cross necklace.                "I'm having an other Slayer Vibe here, only this one is really, really, really good. Buffy didn't realize she had said it out loud till she looked at Willow . Willow gave her a really weird look.                "Huh?" Willow just stared at Buffy clearly confused just stared at Buffy.               Buffy seeing her friends confusion tried to explain.                "It's just a feeling I get when soothing is about to happen, when something bad is around, or I over looked soothing, it can be a good Vibe or it can be bad Vibe , and this is a really good Vibe, best one I have ever had. It's just like a 6th sense to me , and it's giving me a really good vibe." Buffy almost flew to Miss Calender's desk at the front of the desk.                "WILLOW! It's over here, COME ON!!!" Buffy cried out very, very excitedly. "Willow I just found something that is going to change us, for the rest of our lives or at least a while anyway." Buffy glanced at her fast approaching friend and leapt for joy. End part one                                               PART 2                "Buffy what is it?" Willow practically ran to Buffy, so as not to crash into any computers she ran slowly. Buffy held up a yellow disc and showed it to Willow, a sigh of relief went trough Buffy , leaving her completely drained and tiered. The disc read: *Rekindling The Vampires Soul*                Willow turned on the new computer on Miss Calender's desk. Angel had thrown the last one off her desk and it gone up in flames. "Where did you find the disk Buffy ?" Willow asked with great enthusiasm.                "It was between the two desks on the floor, It was really jammed in there." Replied Buffy, she was on cloud nine and practically lifeless. Willow took the disk and inserted it into the computer's CD-ROM.                "It's a good thing Miss Calender always makes copy of everything, I'm going to make a few more copies though, just in case, better safe than sorry!" Spoke up Willow many hours later, dawn was just breaking. Buffy was happier then she had been for a very, very long time .                "It was right in front of our faces the whole time , why didn't we figure it out before, well at least part of it. GOD !!!" Buffy paced , But how are we going to get something that means that much to him without him finding out?" Willow asked                "I haven't..." Buffy started, "Wait Willow, I'm so STUPID, and again I didn't think about it, yesterday night I was coming to school when my sense went all funky, I looked around and I found this, it's ANGEL's, it's a major coincidence. It was just a glint of silver that caught my attention, but I went to pick it up and well, you know..." Buffy babbled as she pulled the silver object out of her pocket and handed it to Willow. Willow, let out a low whistle and studied it.                The back door burst open and a Vampire came in looking really Pissed and really Vamped out. (No pun intended.)                "I got a message for you Slayer, I heaved you were giving some of my friends a problem, trying to killing them. I'm here to finish you off. Have any last words?" She grumbled at Buffy, Buffy grabbed Angels ring from Willow and put it back in back her pocket, and in the process brought out a stake.                "Nope no last words, but you may have some. Do you? And have I mention I'm SO scared I'm shaking in my pants!!! Oops sorry, hee hee hee... I'm not wearing any pants! It's a skirt." The Vampire didn't even blink. "It's you who needs the last say's girl... Let's rumble!"                "Is that the best you can do? Stand there like an idiot ... Kick my ass, I dare you!" Buffy teased. Buffy thought, With a sly grin on her face Buffy once again felt like the Slayer. And fell into her slayer position unconsciously. The Vampire advanced, Buffy lunged at her, her left arm shot out catching the Vamp under the chin, Buffy whipped around and round housed the Vamp in the stomach, the Vamp went flying and hit the wall with a sickening crack, but the Vampire was fast and was once again on her feet. She caught Buffy of guard and Buffy was air born for a few seconds and landed on Miss Calender's desk                "Ouch that really hurt. Now you get it you little piece of trash. I'll be bruised for life!" Buffy groaned getting to her feet. Buffy jumped up and drew an other stake so fast that the Vampire didn't even see it. Buffy lunged once again at the Vampire with her left hand at the last minute possible she changed and the stake in her right hand went cleanly through the Vampire's heart.                "Angel... He says he loves you.." Where the last words the Vampire muttered before she turned to dust.                "Doesn't Angel ever learn to do the dirty work himself?" Buffy muttered shaking her head.                Buffy looked up at Willow and smiled, "I'm back" she took the ring out of her pocket again and inspected it. Inside it read: Angel + Buffy 4ever.Love Buffy was surprised at how direct it was. She placed the ring in the palm of Willows hand very carefully "I have some calls to make" the Slayer said making her way towards the Library yet again.                   Buffy entered the library thinking all about Angel, of course, she dialled Giles home number without thinking. She twirled the telephone cord around her fingers, her blue nail polish stood out.                "Hello" came a groggy voice at the other end of the line "Can I help you??"                "Umm hey Giles, It's me Buffy you know your one and only Slayer" Buffy spoke into the phone in a bubbly and giggly fashion.                "Buffy this had better be good, you woke me up from the best dream, I was talking to Jenny... Ahem... You did wake me up!" Giles answered.                "Sorry Giles. It is good though, Anyway , It is so very good... Giles, I'm so back in business" Buffy began giggling in the background. "Did you know that Willow stayed here ALL night?"                "Buffy get to the damn point, I can still get in a good hour of sleep before school." Giles spoke with great threat, Buffy then learned, don't wake up a Mr.. Rupert Giles unless you want to be killed.                "Anyway Willow must have been researching the Angel thing, Anyway...on the disk I found ... ITHASTHECURSEFORANGELONITANDHOWTO GIVEHIMBACKHISSOUL!!!!!"                "Buffy, Your talking WAY to fast slow down huh?" Giles sounded very unimpressed. "Giles..it...had...the...curse...for...angel...on...it...And...how...h ow...to... Give it...back...it something...happened..or...something..." Buffy repeated much more slowly this time, just to get on Giles case. He needed a bit of humor in his life. Let me rephrase that a lot more humor in his life! Miss Calender where still there she would make sure of that, but of course she wasn't, Angel just had to go and kill her.                "I'll be right there Buffy, STAY-PUT!!! Ok?" Giles finally had a little life in his voice, even if it was a little.                "I'll be in the computer room with Willow Giles, see you there." With out even saying good-bye, Buffy hung-up                "Again mindlessly Buffy dialled Xander's phone number, even if he was going to be jealous, he at least had the right to know . They where after all a group, they shared absolutely everything, or so Buffy hoped. She certainly did.                "Hello?" A very tiered , waken up female voice answered Xander's phone. Buffy's thoughts went xxx. "Umm... Hello, is Xander there Cordelia?" Buffy could have sworn she heard a <"Oh Shit.... Xander Umm Buffy's on the phone for you, and she knew it was me. Oh Shit. Oh shit, Oh Shit... There goes the rest of my popularity..."> come out of Cordelia's mouth By the time Xander was on the line after a lot more swearing and shuffling had gone on. Buffy was laughing so hard she had fallen out of her chair, rolling around on the floor. Tears where streaming down her face.                "Oh my GOD Xander!!! Ahem, I'm calm now, really... Umm guess what Xander. I'm back I'm SO back..." After along time Buffy managed had to calm herself to the point where she could actually speak to Xander. She kept on talking.                                                                               *       *       *                Very fast hurried steps echoed throughout the empty halls, as Giles made his way to the computer room. He opened the door, the room was empty.                "Buffy...Willow? You here?" Giles called out, voice rising with every syllable Giles turned from the room and someone else smacked into him, sending him into orbit then he landed on the floor, on his now-sore butt.                "Umm sorry Giles... Where's Buffy? And Willow? Willow too. She... They... Told me to meet them here." Xander said this with Cordelia behind him.                "...Umm Xander, Buffy doesn't seem to be here and we really need to find them Oh...hello Cordelia. Why you here? Oh never mind we have to go find the girls.." Giles' voice was plenty worried in it. *Somewhere else...                "So Willow you left the disk on Giles' desk? If you didn't he's going to have a hairy... You know! He needs to figure out where we are going, and stuff" Buffy asked .                "Yeah, and you got most of your stakes in case we run into even bigger problems or little inconveniences?"                "Yup, and Willow?... When did you get your drivers licence?" Willow shrunk into her seat as low as safety would permit when driving.               "Truth?..."               "What else?"                "Well I ... Ahem... guess yours and my mom spoke and they decided one of us needed to drive and Umm... They chose me. Because Ahh... They though I was more responsible, and after the lessons and stuff, my mom looked into buying me a car, and here we are. All happy and spacy... right?" Willow looked about to cry.                "My mom said you should? Why not both of us? RESPONSIBILITY? I have responsibility, more than anyone can imagine! I save the world form monsters and demons and give up my life on a nightly basis, and they talk about responsibility?... I've died before, and have bounced back, and she talks about responsibility???"                Buffy seeing her friends face continued "It's not like I'm mad at you or anything Willow. I'm just a wee bit upset. I REALLY wanted to learn how to drive... Hey maybe you could teach me how to drive sometime in the future... Hum?" She gave Willow a little smile. And in return she saw a tinny one start at the corner's on to her friends face, she laughed out loud with Willow joining her. *Back at school                "Giles they aren't here, they are no where to be found. And Umm School is about to begin, Willow has never been late for school! EVER!!! Well unless she's sick, but she's not! Something's up here ... and I don't like it." Xander was pacing in the library. A table loomed out in front of him, but he didn't even see it.                "XANDER... Carefully our going to crash into the table." The warning came to late. Xander was already on the floor on top of a bunch of books.               "Oops"                "Xander... Get to class..." Giles was giving Xander the major evil eye, like he had killed someone... Or something.                                                                                               End Part 2
