Two Slayers and a Souled Vampire

[Angel]

Angel looked at Buffy as he whipped away the tear

"Buffy are you ok, god, whats happening to you right now."

Angel said as he looked down at her

[Buffy Summers]

Buffy felt another jab of pain through her system and she grabbed hold of Angel to stop herself from falling

" Angel it... hurts"

[Faith]

"Frieken A - Buffy, what's goin' on?"

[Buffy Summers]

Buffy moaned as the scene changed and shifted again and blood poured out of an invisible wound at her head

Buffy is standing there with Angel and Giles looking at her
"So that's it, huh? I remember the drill. One Slayer dies, next
one's called! Wonder who she is. Will you train her? Or will
they send someone else?" Buffy asked Giles tilting her head to the side
" Buffy, I..." Giles managed to stutter out
" They say how he's gonna kill me? Do you think it'll hurt?" Buffy continued on as if she hadnt even heard Giles speak.Tears are flowing freely from Buffy's eyes. Angel tries to hug her, but she
puts up her hands and quickly steps away.
" Don't touch me! Were you even gonna tell me?" Buffy said again pointing the question towards Giles
" I was hoping that I wouldn't have to. That there was... some way around it. I..." Giles trailed of as Buffy cut in saying
"I've got a way around it. I quit!" Buffy said taking a step towards the group her face hard and emotionless
" It's not that simple." Angel finally said, Buffy turned and glarred at him
" I'm making it that simple! I quit! I resign, I-I'm fired, you
can find someone else to stop the Master from taking over!" Buffy quivered as tears began to flow freely again down her face
" I'm not sure that anyone else can. All the... the signs indicate..." Giles said but was cut of by Buffy who took a step towards the table and picked up a book
" The signs?" Buffy threw a book at Giles "READ ME THE SIGNS!" She picks up another one and throws it at him as well " TELL ME MY FORTUNE! YOU'RE SO USEFUL SITTING HERE WITH ALL
YOUR BOOKS! YOU'RE REALLY A LOTTA HELP!" Buffy screamed angrily.
" No, I don't suppose I am." Giles muttered and took his glasses of and began to clean them. Angel looked at him and then spoke up
" I know this is hard." He said quietly only to have Buffy turn on him
" What do you know about this? You're never gonna die!" Buffy bit back only to have Angel raise his voice at her
" You think I want anything to happen to you? Do you think I could stand it? We just gotta figure out a way..." Angel tried to continue but Buffy cut him off.
" I already did. I quit, remember? Pay attention!" Buffy screamed at him, Giles glanced at the vampire then back at his slayer before speaking
"Buffy, if the Master rises..." Giles stuttered out only to have his slayer reached up to her tanned neck and yank the silver cross that Angel had given her as a present off and throw it down on the table
"I don't care!" Buffy breaths slightly and calms herself down
" I don't care. Giles, I'm sixteen years old. I don't wanna die."


Buffy groaned heavily and clutched her wound and muttered the words " Death... Angel.. Giles" over and over again before the scene changed again

The Master turns his head and stares at Buffy in surprise. Buffy smirks at him and raises an Eyebrow
" You're dead!" the Master says slightly in confusion
" I may be dead, but I'm still pretty. Which is more than I can
say for you." Buffy responded wittingly with a small shrug of her shoulders and a nice big grin.
" You were destined to die! It was written!" The Master growled out scrunching his fists up, Buffy smirked and tilted her head to the side
" What can I say? I flunked the written." she said simply


Buffy hugged her head wound as the blood seeped through her fingers

" The Master...... Hurts..... Demon.... Angel...... Ms Calendar..... Giles..... My Head" Buffy muttered incoherently

[Angel]

"Dammit Buffy, what is happening to you."

Angel said as he tried to clean up the blood that came from her head

[Buffy Summers]

Buffy gripped Angel's hand as another memory swayed the room

Buffy yells: "Peanut butter, preferably crunchy!"
Angel's head pops up above the door of the fridge: "I got it."
His arms piled with food he makes his way back to the bedroom with some strategically placed props all that's preserving his dignity.
He dumps the stuff on the bed and slips under the sheet.
Buffy wearing a black robe smiles at him: "The perfect yum. (Angel feeds her a sthingy of ice cream) Mmm, this is a dream. You're human for like a minute and already there is Cookie-dough-fudge-mint-chip in the fridge."
Angel: "God, I love food."
Buffy feeds him some ice cream on a chocolate waffle: "Food is good."
They kiss.
Angel: "Why didn't you ever tell me about chocolate and peanut butter?"
Buffy: "Well, I figured if your vamp taste buds couldn't really savor it, then it would only hurt you, you know? By the way, I'm over the whole needing to be mature thing. That time you just spent in the kitchen? That was enough time apart."
Angel with a smile: "Too much."
They kiss and some ice cream drips from his sthingy on his chest.
Angel: "Okay, mortal coordination leaving something to be desired."
Buffy: "Wrong. It's just right."
Angel laughs as she licks up the ice cream then pulls her down into a kiss.


Buffy looks up at Angel

" I dont...r-r-remember that"

[Angel]

"Remember what Buffy?"

Angel said as he looked at down at Buffy with a look of concern on his face for her.

[Buffy Summers]

Buffy shuffled awkwardly away from Angel and closer to Faith, Buffy starred at Angel in disgust

" You were human.... and we were together.... and YOU TOOK AWAY MY MEMORY OF IT"

Buffy stuttered as the room changed again and the three champions were sucked into another memory this time from Angel

Angel: "What happens to the Slayer when these soldiers come?"
Woman: "What happens to all mortal beings. Albeit sooner in her case."
Angel: "She'll die? - Then I'm here to beg for her life."
The Oracles turn and walk away: "It is not our place to grant life or death."
Angel: "And I ask you to take mine back. (The oracles stop walking and turn back to him) Look I can't protect her or anyone this way, not as a man."
Woman: "You're asking to be what you were, a demon with a soul, because of the Slayer?"
Man turns to leave again: "Oh, this is a matter of love. It does not concern us."
Angel: "Yes, it does. The Mohra demon came to take a warrior from your cause - and it succeeded. I'm no good to you like this. I know you have it in your power to make this right. Please."
Man: "What is done can not be undone."
Woman: "What is not yet done can be avoided."
Man: "Temporal folds are not to indulge at - the whims of lower beings."
Woman: "You are wrong. This one is willing to sacrifice every drop of human happiness and love he has ever known for another. He is not a lower being."
Man: "There is one way. But it is not to be undertaken lightly."
Woman: "We swallow this day, as though it had never happened. Twenty-four hours from the moment the demon first attacked you, we take it back."
Angel licks his lips: "Then none of this happened and Buffy and I.. What - what'll stop us from doing the exact same thing again?"
Woman: "You. You alone will carry the memory of this day. - Can you carry that burden?"

[Angel]

Angel looked over at Buffy and Faith

"Buffy...Im sorry."

Angel said as another shift happened

Buffy wearing a long flowery dress is pacing Angel's apartment. Angel comes down the steps to his apartment.
Buffy: "I'm guessing that expression isn't because they were all out of fresh OJ at the deli. - What happened?"
Angel: "Nothing happened. - I just.."
Buffy: "Where have you been?"
Angel: "I went to see the Oracles. I asked them to turn me back."
Buffy: "What? - Why?"
Angel: "Because more then ever I know how much I love you."
Buffy backs away from him: "No. No, you didn't."
Angel follows her: "And if I stayed mortal one of us would wind up dead, maybe both of us. You heard what Mohra said."
Buffy: "Mohra is dead. We killed him."
Angel: "He said others would come."
Buffy: "They always come. And they always will. But that's my problem now, not yours, remember?"
Angel: "No, I won't just stand by and let you fight, maybe die, alone."
Buffy: "Then we fight together."
Angel: "You saw what happened last night. If anything I'm a liability to you. You take chances to protect me, and that's not just bad for you, it's bad for the people we were meant to help."
Buffy: "So what? You just took a whole 24 hours to weigh the ups and downs of being a regular Joe and decided it was more fun being a superhero?"
Angel: "You know that's not it. How can we be together if the cost is your life, or the lives of others? (Buffy just stares at him and after a moment he takes her into his arms) I know. I couldn't tell you. I wasn't sure - if I could do it if I woke up with you one more morning."
Buffy sniffling: "I understand. - So, what happens now?'
Angel: "The Oracles are giving us back the day, turning back time, so I can kill Mohra before his blood makes me mortal."
Buffy: "When?"
Angel looks over at the clock (it's 9:00): "Another minute."
Buffy crying: "A minute? No. No, it's not enough time!"
Angel: "We don't have a choice. It's done."
Buffy: "How am I supposed to go on with my life knowing what we had? What we could have had?"
Angel: "You won't. No one will know but me."
Buffy: "Everything we did."
Angel: "It never happened."
Buffy shakes her head: "It did. It did. I know it did! (Puts her hand on his heart) I felt your heart beat."
Angel: "Buffy.."
They kiss. Buffy looks over at the clock. The minute is almost up.
Buffy: "No! Oh God. It's not enough time."
Angel is crying too now: "Shh, please. Please."
The hold each other tightly both crying.
Angel: "Please, please."
Buffy: "No. I'll never forget. I'll never forget. I'll never forget. I'll never forget."
White flash dissolves to Angel's office the previous day.
Angel is leaning against his desk blinking, looking around. Buffy is standing next to the door.
Buffy: "So, then let's just stick to the plan. Keep our distance until a lot of time has passed, and given enough time - we should be able to.."
Angel stares at her and swallows hard: "Forget."
Buffy: "Yeah. - So - I'm gonna go - start forgetting."
The Mohra crashes through the window behind Angel with a scream. Angel just turns, grabs the clock from his desk and coolly smashes the Mohra's jewel with it. The Mohra goes up in a flash of light.
Buffy slightly stunned: "That was unreal. - How did you know how to kill it?"
Angel: "It's a Mohra demon. I - I had a lot of time to catch up on my reading."
Buffy nods slowly: "Yeah. Okay. - So I guess we've covered it, right?"
Angel: "I guess we did."
Buffy: "And that's all there really is to say."
Angel takes a deep breath and looks down on the smashed clock. It stopped at 9:02. When he turns back Buffy is already leaving the outer office.
Angel: "Yeah. - That's it."

[Buffy Summers]

Buffy pushed herself, still clutching her wound to Angel and collapsed into his arms holding onto him tight

" Im so sorry... You g-gave everything for me... thankyou"

Buffy looked up to see an identical wound appearing on Angel's forhead, Buffy gasped

" Angel your head.... it's bleeding"

Before Angel could answer they were sucked into a scene again

Buffy is walking down a dark street,
when someone appears behind her. She senses that she is being followed.
After walking for a ways, when she gets a chance she ducks down an alley
and looks around for a place to hide. A cat yowls and kicks some cans as
it runs away. She spies something above her. Angel comes into the alley
but doesn't see her. As he slowly walks along, the camera pulls up to
reveal Buffy in a handstand on a bar high above the pavement. When Angel
has passed underneath her, she swings down and kicks him in the back. He
is knocked to the ground, and Buffy positions herself above him with a
foot on his chest.

Angel: Ah, heh. Is there a problem, ma'am?

Buffy: Yeah, there's a problem. Why are you following me?

Angel: I know what you're thinking. Don't worry, I don't bite.

She backs off and lets him get up, but keeps her fighting stance.

Angel: Truth is, I thought you'd be taller, or bigger muscles and all
that. You're pretty spry, though. (massages his neck)

Buffy: What do you want?

Angel: The same thing you do.

Buffy: (lets down her guard) Okay. What do I want?

Angel: (steps toward her) To kill them. To kill them all.

Buffy: Sorry, that's incorrect. But you do get this lovely watch and a
year's supply of Turtle Wax. What I want is to be left alone!

She starts a determined walk away.

Angel: Do you really think that's an option anymore? You're standing at
the Mouth of Hell. And it's about to open.

She stops, turns to him and looks at him with a wide-eyed gaze. He
reaches into his jacket and pulls out a small box.

Angel: Don't turn your back on this. (tosses her the box) You've gotta
be ready.

Buffy: What for?

Angel: For the Harvest.

Buffy: Who are you?

Angel: Let's just say... I'm a friend. (starts to leave)

Buffy: Yeah, well, maybe I don't want a friend.

Angel: (turns back) I didn't say I was yours.

[Angel]

Angel touched his head and looked at the blood as he looked down at Buffy

"Well that was a blast from the past huh?"

Angel said with a small chuckle as he looked at Buffy

[Buffy Summers]

Buffy shivered slightly and cuddled her body closer to Angel's nodding her head as she went

" Most certainly is..... That was the first time we met...G-G-God i hated you.... S-s-s-so arrogant"

[Angel]

Angel smiled as he held her tight

"Yeah...I know you did, but what the hell is causing these flashbacks?"

Angel said as he didnt know that to say about the recent trips down memory lane

[Buffy Summers]

Buffy groaned slightly and cuddled closer into Angel

" I dont know.... but whatever is doing it is using our memories.... Bringing them to life... Ohhh God The Master, Angelus, Faith...... Angel what do all these people have in common?"

[Angel]

"Well that we all meet them once, well maybe these flashbacks are suppose to tell us something important."

Angel said as he didnt know what else to say at the moment
