Chapter 8: Old Friends Nikki knocked on Buffy’s door but there was no answer. Finally she got tired of trying and opened the door with her spare key. She didn’t have time to step in side when she heard something that truly sounded like loud moaning and not from pain. She started grinning like a fool, sounded like Anne was making her dreams reality. Some of those sounds were making her blush and she was from Brooklyn, she didn’t blush that easily. She stepped back and closed the door behind her. So much for that morning coffee, she thought stepping into her own apartment.
Buffy giggled happily and looked at Angel who had a very pleased expression on his face. “You seem quite pleased with yourself, don't you”, she said smirking. “Oh I'm pleased with you”, he said and suddenly grabbed her by the arms rolling them around so she was beneath him. “Very pleased with you” he said with a husky voice, looking very hungry and not for food. He leaned in and kissed her passionately. Her arms circled around his neck and she pulled him closer. Her legs wrapped around his thighs and she slowly massaged the back of his legs with the sole of her foot. His erection was growing by the second and he rubbed himself to her core. He didn't want to rush, they had all the time in the world, he was going to take his time and make her ready to beg for a release unless it was him doing the begging first. Either way, it was all good. A satisfied smirk rose to his lips and he trailed soft kisses down her neck, giving extra attention to his mark. “Angel”, she breathed and pulled his head closer to her neck. She always got hot and bothered when he kissed that spot, no one else ever had the permission to touch it, it only belonged to him. Slowly her hand trailed down his stomach and she wrapped her fingers around his cock. He let out a pleasure filled moan. She started to move her hand, firmly and faster by the minute. “Buffy, I don't want to cum like this, I want to be inside you”, he managed to say and stilled her hand by placing his over hers. She smiled wickedly and started to move her hand with his hand on top of hers. He groaned again, laying his head against her shoulder. “Buffy”, he bit out and came to her hand. He was breathing hard against her neck trying to keep himself from falling on top of her. He rolled over and tried to steady his breathing. After a while, he turned to look at her. She was smiling wickedly and licking the cum from her fingers. The sight made him groan and he felt his cock start to come to life once again. He couldn't take it any more, he grabbed her and kissed her passionately. “I want you”, he whispered to her ear, nibbing her earlobe and started to trail kisses down her neck. “Angel”, she whimpered and raked her fingernails across his back. Suddenly she grabbed his shoulders and spun them around. She straddled him and placed her hand on his chest to steady her balance. Angel's eyes got wide, this was a whole new position to see her in, especially naked. Without even thinking, his hands traveled up her sides to her breasts. Slowly he kneaded them with his fingers and leaned up enough to take a nipple between his lips. She moaned and threated her finger to his hair pulling him closer. She rubbed herself to him, his cock sliding between her lips, teasing them both, making her even more wet. She grabbed his cock and placed it to her opening. He tried to push up but she kept him in place. “What do you want?” she asked huskily and started to slowly stroking him. “I want you”, he groaned and again tried to push inside her. “To do what?” she breathed out. “I want to be inside you.” She smiled at him and slowly impaled herself on his member. They both moaned loudly at the sensation that rushed through both of them. He pulled her into a kiss that was pure fire, love and lust. “I love you”, he said and licked her ear, pulling the earlobe to his mouth, giving it a gentle bite. “I love you too”, she whispered and rose up, only to be slammed down. The moan was muffled by his mouth against hers. They started to move together and slowly the speed started to rise. Soon the movements became more hesitated and rushed by the second. She raked her fingernails across his back and bit down to his shoulder. It was close he didn't cum right then, biting was still a very arousing thing for him. His lips trailed down her shoulders to her breasts. His tongue was making circles around her nipple, one at a time, his fingers massaging the other one. Suddenly she threw him against the bed and started to ride him. He grabbed her hips and guided her movements. It didn't take long before they were both screaming from release. She fell against his chest, her head laying against his heart. She smiled happily, it was a good sound, hearing his heart beat. Buffy was dreaming again and like always, that dream was starring Angel. Again they were in that strange apartment but what startled her to wake, was hearing Angel’s heartbeat. “Now I know it’s just a dream”, she whispered to herself, wiping to sweat from her face. And that was when she remembered that Angel was in her apartment. She jumped up from the bed and ran to the living room fearing that Nikki would come and open the blinds. She stopped at the door when she saw Angel sitting on the couch. He was breathing hard and nervously running his hands through his unruly dark hair. What she didn’t know was that Angel had been seeing the same dream and had been wakened the same moment that she was. Suddenly he turned and they stared right into each others eyes. “Buffy”, he whispered and was replied with a breathy ‘Angel’. The dream and memories were making him forget everything but her. In a flash he was off the couch and in front of her. Soon her breathing became quick and shallow just from the nearness of him. He lifted his hand and gently touched her cheek. Her eyes closed automatically and she leaned into his touch. “Angel. We shouldn’t...”, she said quietly but she couldn’t pull away. “Yes, we shouldn’t”, Angel repeated and leaned closer to her. For a moment they looked at each other with heavy lidded eyes but then they surrendered into a passionate kiss. Hands were everywhere, roaming each others bodies, trying to feel every inch of flesh that had been forbidden for so long. Angel grabbed her and lifted her in the air. Without a hesitation she wrapped her legs around his waist and soon she felt her back hit the wall. Angel let go of her lips, letting her breathe and concentrated his attention to her neck. She was feeling hot all over, she could think nothing but his lips on his bite mark. “Angel”, she moaned and tightened her grip on his hair. She could feel his erection poking her and she was dripping wet herself. But the heated moment was interrupted by the loud banging on the door. Buffy turned to look at the door but Angel turned her face back to him and said: “Ignore it.” The door was out of her mind as soon as his lips captured hers. But the noise didn’t stop. “Buffy!” came the loud voice of Xander from the door. Buffy gasped seeing the scooby gang standing in the doorway gaping at them. “I knew it!” Xander yelled and pulled out a wooden cross but Giles took hold of his arm, keeping him back. Buffy unwound her legs from around Angel and he let her down gently but didn’t let go of her hand giving her his silent support. She was clearly embarrassed. “I can’t believe you did that again. What were you thinking!? Giving him a big happy!” yelled Xander. “Xander”, Willow chastised him but turned to Buffy with a frown on her face. “Buffy, I don’t know what you were thinking, sleeping with Angel, you should know better from the last time.” “We haven’t done anything!” Buffy defended but all she got were looks of disbelief. “We haven’t done anything! We didn’t sleep together!” she repeated feeling like they had just slapped her. Suddenly there was a sarcastic chuckle on the door and everyone turned to look, seeing Spike leaning to the door frame smoking a cigarette. Faith was standing behind him. “You are bunch of bleeding idiots. If Angel here had had the ride of his life, you wouldn’t be talking like that. You would be already dead if you were lucky. Well, you wouldn’t be so lucky, he would just love to torture the shit out of you people. Ripper can tell you all about that”, he said grinning evilly, he had so few pleasures these days. Everyone looked at him shooting daggers. “What? Isn’t anybody going to invite me in? I’m not going to miss this, this is too much fun”, Spike said and looked at them expectantly. “I am so not going to invite you in”, Buffy shot back at him. “Come on, slayer. Have a heart.” Faith rolled her eyes and stepped past him into the apartment. “Hey B, I see you’ve got some company already”, she said and settled leaning against the wall. “You’re not going to leave the door until I do, are you?” Buffy asked Spike and he just nodded smirking happy with himself. She sighed deeply. “Fine. Come in, Spike. And close the door.” Spike stepped inside and leaned against the now closed door. “Please continue”, he gave his permission with a wave of his hand. But the drama was over, the scoobies had started to see the light, if Angel truly had been turned into Angelus, he wouldn’t have stood silently so long. “I... I’m sorry Buffy. But you must know what it looked like”, Willow said with an uncertain voice. Buffy just nodded, she still felt the sting from their words but she felt like she had earned them, she had let her passion rule her. Everybody started to relax when there was a quick knock on the door and Nikki opened the door looking straight into Buffy without noticing anybody else. “Hey Anne. I see you are up. I was by earlier but you two sounded so busy, I didn’t want to interrupt. Boy, you two were making me blush with those sounds”, she said all in one breath. “I knew it! You lied to us!” Xander practically screamed. Nikki spun around confused. “Nikki, please come later”, Buffy pleaded and after a small battle with herself, she left. “You did fuck him!” yelled Xander accusingly. “No! I didn’t sleep with Angel!” Buffy yelled back feeling no guilt anymore. “Don’t bother Buffy, she heard you”, shot Xander and pulled out the cross once again. “I was having a dream! We weren’t doing anything! I can’t believe you! You think I would do that again, knowing what would happen!” Buffy yelled back, she was running out of patience. “You left us with a psycho killer in Sunnydale while you were getting a new life!” “And how many times did Faith try to kill you?” Buffy asked vehemently and looked at him pointedly. She was getting tired of this. “That’s not the point.” “No, it is. She didn’t try to hurt you. And she never even did, she only wanted to hurt me. And I took precautions”, she added the last with a quiet voice, she wasn’t going to tell about her deal with the demon or what ever he was. “I must agree with Xander, what you did was very irresponsible”, Giles piped up, his voice was strained but still like the voice of reason he usually was. Buffy gave a exhausted sigh. “She wasn’t going to hurt you, I made sure of that. And she was never after you in the first place.” “Yeah, B is right. I never was after you guys. And I haven’t done anything naughty lately, I’ve been a good little slayer, haven’t I”, Faith came to the conversation. Xander was shooting daggers at her and Willow was trying to blend into the background gripping Tara’s hand in hers. “This is getting us no where”, Giles said, took off his glasses and started to clean them in his usual manner. “Maybe you all should stop screaming at her. It’s not her fault. And you didn’t even know it wasn’t her in her own body. And if it wasn’t for the creature of the night ex-boyfriend, you still wouldn’t know”, Faith said and looked at the scooby gang accusingly. They were quiet for once. Faith stepped closer to Buffy and gently touched her arm. “Come on, B. You know we have to change our bodies back. I want to start my life over, change my destiny, all that shit. And you can’t keep on running because your face belongs to a wanted murderer”, Faith said with pleading eyes and after the feelings were running little too heavily for her liking, she smirked and added: “Besides, I miss those babies.” She nodded towards her breast that Buffy was now wearing. Buffy smiled and teased back: “Maybe I like them too.” “Don’t tease me, this is serious”, Faith responded but still kept the grin on her face. “Okay, so I miss my own body. But how am I going to explain to everyone that I’m suddenly a blond and shorter?” Buffy answered. “Plastic surgery?” Buffy lifted her brow and Faith just shrugged. “Fine, let’s do it”, Buffy said little resistant and Faith smiled widely.

Chapter 9: Begining, Again Buffy was feeling strange and a little weak from the change. But she was happy, more like delirious, she was back in her own body. Now she didn’t have to feel weird every time she looked into the mirror. But being back in her own body brought new problems, this was what she wanted but how was she going explain her appearance to the people she knew here, nobody would believe her and she couldn’t tell them anyway, it was too dangerous for everyone. Buffy was checking herself in the mirror, for the first time in several months she could look in the mirror and see herself looking back at her. “I don’t see any tattoos”, she joked and looked at Faith with humor in her eyes. “Yeah, well, I was going to do that next week”, she said back winking back at Buffy. She was just as glad to be in her own body as Buffy was. ”Well, now that you are back in your own body, we can all return back to Sunnydale and everything will be back to normal”, Giles said and adjusted his glasses. “Yeah, and we’ll talk to the principal, explain that it wasn’t you who dropped out of college, well, we’ll not tell everything but I’m sure he’ll understand. And we’ll be roommates again. I miss my roomie”, Willow said already feeling excited. Xander just stood on the background scowling at both slayers. “I can’t believe you just expect everything to go back the way it was”, Buffy said in wonder and feeling hurt. “Of course it will be”, Willow said not understanding what she could mean. “Willow, everything isn’t just going to fine like nothing happened”, Buffy explained. “I know we all have issues but once you return...” Giles started but didn’t have time to finish when Buffy interrupted him by saying: “Maybe I don’t want to come back.” The whole scooby gang turned gasping to look at her yelling a chorus of ‘Buffy!’ to her. But Angel just looked down and started to brood. Spike just chuckled at the expressions the gang was making. “Oh come on, did you really think everything would be just bloody peachy after you yelled at her, accused her of shagging Angelus and now you act like nothing happened. I can’t believe you people. And I’m evil.” The gang just glared at Spike who looked at them unaffected. “And Peaches is bloody brooding again”, he added. Angel looked at Spike glaring and said with a low warning voice: “Don’t call me that, William.” “Don’t call me William, you bloody poof”, Spike shot back annoyed. “Both of you stop it. Spike shut up and Angel stop brooding”, Buffy said and crossed her arms giving them a look that she wasn’t on the mood. “Needing a woman to your rescue”, Spike started again but when Buffy send a glare at his way, he went quiet, for the time being. “I don’t know what I’m going to do. I can’t come back to Sunnydale at this moment and I can’t stay here because I’m in my own body again. I need to find my own way”, she said continuing the previous conversation. “Buffy, that is very irresponsible of you. You are the slayer, you are needed at the Hellmouth”, Giles chastised her. Faith stepped forward looking pissed. “Save the guilt trip. She isn’t the only slayer. And she may be a slayer, but she’s still human, she needs to breathe and you people are crushing her and it has been happening ever since Angelus took a little appearance in Sunnydale.” The gang looked like they wanted to protest and Angel just brooded even more.
The scoobies left some arguing later and Buffy was left with Angel, Spike and Faith, the only people that seemed to be on her side. Which was weird since Spike and Faith used to be her enemies and now they seemed to be the only ones that understood her. Of course Angel and Spike didn’t leave because it was still daylight, Buffy wasn’t sure why Faith stayed. There was a knock on the door and Buffy went to answer. But when she reached the door, she remembered she was in her own body that nobody would recognize. She quickly looked through the spyhole, seeing Kirsten and Liam. “Faith, you answer the door, it’s Kirsten and Liam”, she whispered and after a moment of protesting Faith opened the door. “Hi”, she said while leaning to the door frame. “I’m so sorry, Anne, but I had no other place to take him, I have to go to work, please, I need you to look after Liam for few hours”, Kirsten said all in one breathe. Faith looked confused and tried to gather her thoughts when Buffy stepped forward. “Of course Liam can stay here for few hours”, she said and Kirsten looked as confused as Faith. “I’m sorry, I didn’t know you had company.” “It’s okay, that’s my friend Buffy, from out of town. Of course Liam can stay here for a while”, Faith covered and after a small battle with herself Kirsten nodded and after saying goodbye to Liam, left for work. Liam looked at Faith suspiciously and finally said with an accusing tone: “You’re not Anne.” Faith looked surprised and after a while asked: “And why you think that?” “You have different eyes”, he answered bravely. Buffy smiled and walked closer to Liam, kneeling beside him. “Liam”, she said with a soft voice and Liam looked at her a while till he jumped hugging her tightly. Angel stepped into the room and looked at the boy hugging Buffy, he couldn’t help but feel a little jealous and he knew it wasn’t logical, he was just a small boy. “Anne. Why do you look different?” Buffy smiled kindly and smoothed his unruly hair. “You remember how I told you there is many things that people don’t know, supernatural things. Well I was in an accident that changed my body with Faith. My name really isn’t Anne, it’s my middle name, my real name is Buffy. But you can’t tell about that to anybody.” Liam nodded and then his gaze was fixed on Angel. “Who is he?” Liam asked, sounding like a jealous husband when he said it. “That is Angel, a very good friend of mine”, Buffy explained. Liam looked at Angel up and down, measuring him. “Angel is a girl's name”, he finally said feeling that this Angel would be a competition to him. Faith laughed out loud and Buffy grinned keeping a chuckle from surfacing. “Be nice, Liam. Would you like some juice?” Liam nodded and Buffy got up, heading towards the kitchen. Angel stepped forward and took hold of Buffy’s hand. She immediately felt warmth rush through her even though his hand was room temperature. For a fleeting moment they looked into each others eyes, loosing the time and space. “Buffy, we need to talk”, he whispered. “Later”, Buffy whispered back and disappeared into the kitchen, away from the temptation. Liam looked at Angel and frowned. He crossed his arms on his chest and walked to the competition trying to look as tall as he could with his small frame. “Are you trying to make moves on my girl?” he asked serious. Angel looked at the boy and felt his own jealousy surface. “Is she your girl?” Angel returned to the question, feeling a little competitive. “Yes she is. Once I’m old enough, I will marry her”, Liam answered confidently. Angel tried to get a hold of his jealousy knowing it was ridiculous. “What does she have to say about it?” “She told me to wait till I’m older. But I don’t care.” “She once told me she would be...” Angel started feeling irrationally jealous when Buffy’s voice interrupted, “Liam, come to the kitchen for your juice.” Liam glared at Angel and did as he was asked. Buffy walked into the living room looking at Angel amused. She slapped him playfully on the arm. “Angel!” “What?” Angel asked innocently. “I can’t believe you. You’re over two hundred years old and you all but stick your tongue at him.” “So, I get jealous when it comes to you and other guys, I can’t help it”, Angel defended and he could hear Spike and Faith laughing. “Angel, he is eight year old boy”, Buffy whispered trying to hold down a grin, Angel was still feeling jealous of her, that must mean something. “I didn’t say it was rational”, Angel defended and took a quick glance at the boy that was sipping his juice, looking so innocent, but truthfully he was the worst enemy trying to take his Buffy away from him. Seeing his look, Buffy slapped him again.
Kirsten had called that she was about to come get Liam. Buffy had shooed Angel and Spike away from sight and was now sitting in the living room with Liam and Faith. Liam looked at Buffy frowning. “You’re still in love with that thug”, he stated crossing his arms over his chest. Buffy looked at him in surprise, he could see so much for such a young boy. “Yes”, she finally whispered and Liam sighed deeply, feeling defeated. “But he’s got such a big forehead”, he tried and Buffy laughed. “Yeah, but I still love him despite that. Don’t worry, you’ll find a girl and you’ll know”, she promised patting his arm. “I don’t like him”, he said and that’s when Kirsten arrived. Buffy said goodbye to Liam and they left. “I don’t seem to have any luck with men”, Buffy sighed and Faith grinned back at her. “Yeah, one is over two hundred year old vamp, other an eight year old boy. You know, I’m not feeling jealous of you anymore, it’s changing into feeling sorry for you”, Faith said and Buffy slapped her in the arm.
Later Faith and Buffy went out to get some food and blood for the two vampires. They had a good talk and Faith convinced Buffy to go to visit LA, see her father for a while, it was close enough to Sunnydale and at the same time, it was far enough. Buffy was still feeling strange going to Angel’s town but Faith said it would build character. Buffy reasoned that she wanted to see her father even if he was no good. The two women stepped inside the apartment, Spike was smoking in the living room but Angel was nowhere on sight. Seeing the look on Buffy’s face, he said: “He’s brooding in your bedroom.” With a frown on her faze she took the cigarette from his fingers and crushed it to his knee. “Hey!” he protested but she gave him a hard look. “No smoking in my apartment”, she reminded him. “Bitch”, he muttered under his breath but she didn't hear him. Taking it as her cue to leave, Faith went to the kitchen but Buffy stayed with Spike, looking at him like she was trying to pull something out of him with just her gaze. “What is it Slayer!?” he asked unnerved. “How did you find me? I know it wasn’t from your detective work”, she finally asked. “And what makes you think that?” he asked and Buffy just gave him a pointed look. “Fine. I followed the big poof. I knew he would find ya. Even though it did take longer than I thought. You are one tough chick to track”, he said blowing the smoke out of his nose. “But that doesn’t explain why you would want to find me”, Buffy said and crossed her arms. Spike jumped up and threw his hands up. “What is this? The Spanish inquisition?” Buffy giggled remembering the sketch from Monty Python. Angel stepped into the room, interrupting the moment. He had a deep frown on his face because Buffy was laughing at something that Spike had said. And why was he jealous because of Spike, he really needed to get a grip. Faith sauntered into the room and patted Angel on the arm. “It’s your lucky day, Buffy is coming to LA”, she said and Angel and Buffy both looked like they were couple of deers caught in car headlights. Faith looked at them both and said: “Oops, I didn’t know it was supposed to be a secret.”
