"For one you wouldn't be sitting in a graveyard at 9:30 on a Tuesday night!"
Buffy jumped, "Angel! I didn't hear you coming. You know you really should do something about that whole quiet thing. You don't just creep around a graveyard, you should whistle, or cough or something."
"Sorry I didn't mean to scare you."
"You know it wouldn't be so bad to not be sitting here, wondering what evil the hellmouth is going to spew out next. I'd rather be worrying about keeping up with the latest fashions, or whether or not I'll be going to the Bronze. Warding off evil is highly overrated, not to mention the havoc it plays on my nails!" Buffy shoved her hand in front of Angel's face. "Look, I chipped my nail polish."
Angel lowered his eyes to the ground. "If your weren't the Slayer, then..." He was silent for a minute. "Then you would never have moved to Sunnydale and I wouldn't have ever met you..."
"Well okay, I guess being the Slayer does have a few perks!" Buffy smiled, as Angel stepped closer. "So, what brings you to the cemetery tonight?"
"I was looking for you."
"Oh..."
"I wanted to give your something."
"Goodie, what??" Buffy's eyes began to sparkle.
Angel reached out and softly stroked her cheek. Leaning forward he said, "This..." Gently he pressed his lips against hers.
"So what happened then?"
"Nosy much, Willow!"
"Ah come on, there was kissing wasn't there? There's always kissing when..."
"Kissing?? Who was it with, but more importantly why wasn't I there?" Xander asked as he fell into step with the two girls.
"Buffy saw Angel..."
"Enough said, I get the picture. Hey weren't you supposed to be hunting last night?"
"What can I say, it was a slow night!" Buffy smiled at Willow as they walked throught the library doors. Giles was waiting for them.
"It's about time you got here."
"Can we say 'Good Morning', Giles? Come on, I know you can do it."
"Buffy!!" Giles warned. "How did the hunt go last night?"
"I'm good this morning, thanks for asking. How about you?"
"She was with Angel last night and apparently kissing was involved. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought vampires sucked blood, not sucked face!"
"Xander..." Willow jabbed her elbow into his ribs.
"What?? He asked, I told."
"Nice to know you've finally mastered the art of secrecy Xander." Buffy glared at him as she flopped down in a chair.
"Hey, I know sarcasm when I hear it, and that was definately sarcasm."
Buffy turned towards Giles. "Well there weren't any paranormal happenings going on, and well...Angel showed up. What was I supposed to do?"
"Slay him." Xander coughed. Buffy shot a nasty look his way. "What?? I was coughing, I have nothing to say."
Willow sat in the chair next to Buffy. "There was kissing, wasn't there? I mean he didn't just come to tell you that you're in 'grave danger' did he?"
"No, Will. Actually we didn't say all that much to each other!"
"Why, because he was too busy checking out your neck?"
"Xander grow up, will you." Buffy said.
"The language of love...I wish I were as lucky as you are, Buffy."
"What you want to be in love with a blood sucker too?"
"No, Xander not a vampire." Willow looked longingly at Xander.
"Well that's quite enough of that, shall we get down to business?"
"Giles what business is there to do? I mean I just told you there haven't been any vampires around lately. I say we just sit here and relax for a change."
"Buffy that is not an option. We should consult the books, make sure there aren't any upcoming prophecy's or..."
"Come on Giles, it's not like the world's going to come to an end, just because we take one day off." Everyone looked at Xander. "Yeah, I know, I know, I just jixned us, let's get looking." Xander pulled a book off the shelf and sat at the table. Buffy's mouth dropped, she looked at Willow.
"And you said there haven't been any paranormal activities lately!"
"Well...afterall we are living on the Hellmouth." Giles stated.
"Oh, Giles must have bought a sense of humor. You didn't strain yourself did you?" Buffy joked. Willow tried to stiffle a laugh and Xander hid behind the book he was reading.
