"Yeah Faith, the slaying is good." Buffy Summers spoke into the cordless phone that she held on her shoulder. She picked up some clothes on her bed and went over to her dresser. She opened a drawer and put her clothes away. "Faith! How could you even say that. You might get that little urge when you're slaying, but not me."

"How's Wesly, the wuss?" asked Buffy with a laugh.

"You're kidding! They rehired Giles?" The Slayer asked with excitement.

"So, you weren't obeying Wesly and obviously neither was I, or tried not to, and they rehired him because of it?" Buffy couldn't believe it.

"I'm glad that they rehired him." Buffy said. "So, have you broken Giles yet?" She added with a giggle.

"I might get to come home this Chirstmas." She sighed. "That's if nothing goes wrong. Last year, the vamps tried to crash and feed on the little kids." Buffy said as she recalled her last Christmas.

She took the phone into her hand and fixed her hair in the mirror. "So, how's everything there?" Buffy picked up her brush, but stopped when she saw Mr. Gordo sitting on her dresser and picked him up.

//Come by to visit Mr. Gordo?// Buffy asked him as she stepped through the window of her room.

//What?// Angel asked in confusion.

Buffy replied walking over to him, //The pig.//

Angel replied in a soft voice, //Oh.// He smiled as he put the pig back on her shelf.

Faith's voice brought Buffy back to reality. Buffy set the pig down quickly. "Yeah, Faith I'm here." Buffy shook her head. "I just zoned out there for a moment."

A knock on Buffy's door filled the silence in the room. "Hold on, Faith." She said. "Door's open." She called out.

Dominique walked into the room. "Are you busy?" The brunette asked. She was a little on the chubby side and had sparkling blue eyes.

"Just sit on my bed, I'll be done in a minute." Buffy replied to Dominique.

"Faith, tell Giles that I'm going to call him tomorrow and tell everyone hi for me." Buffy said to Faith. "Wait. Let me speak to Mom."

"Hi, Mom." Buffy spoke to her mom. "I'm doing fine." She sighed. "I'll call you tomorrow, okay?" Buffy replied. "I love you too, Mom. Bye." Buffy clicked the off button on the phone.

"So, what's up Dominique?" Buffy said to her friend.

"Someone called for you this morning." Dominique said.

Buffy walked over to her bed. "Well, who was it?" Buffy asked a little annoyed that she didn't tell her the first time.

"Let me think, I know that it's a name that I don't hear often." Dominique thought for a moment.

Buffy shifted her weight on one foot, waiting for the person's name so she could call them back.

Dominique perked up and answered in a higher voice, "Oh, I remember! His name was Angel."

Buffy dropped the phone. Her eyes opened wide and her heart was beating faster. "Who did you say it was?"

"Angel." Dominique bent over and picked up the phone.

'How can it be him? We haven't talked in over two years.' Buffy thought. "Ar..are you sure it was him?" Buffy stuttered.

"Yes, I'm sure." Dominique insisted.

"Did he leave a message?" Buffy asked, wanting to know more about his phone call.

"Yeah. He said to tell you that he's not at the same place as before." Dominique told Buffy. "And I'm assuming what that means, because I don't know."

Buffy took in a deep breath. "I know what he meant." Buffy asked hopefully, "Did he leave a phone number?"

"No phone number." Dominique said. Then she added, smiling, "But he had the greatest voice."

Buffy smiled to herself, remembering what he sounded like, what he looked like. She let out a small sigh.

"I'm also assuming that you two were going out."

Buffy's smile disappeared. "Yeah, but we broke up." After a moment, she added, "Twice."

Dominique felt sorry for her friend. Buffy looked like she was in love with him very much. "I'm sorry."

"It's okay. It was over two years ago." Buffy told Dominique. "Let's go out for something to eat. Laura should be home by now."

"Okay," replied Dominique. She stood up and waited for Buffy.

Buffy went over to her mirror and quickly brushed her hair.

"Buffy!" Laura yelled out from their living room.

Buffy yelled back, "What?"

"There's this really hot guy standing in here and he wants to see you."

"I'm comming!" Buffy sighed. This isn't what she needed.

Buffy picked up her leather jacket on her chair on her way out and slipped it on. Dominique followed.

"I've got plans." Buffy said, not looking up. She was fixing the stake that was in the sleeve.

After she didn't recieve an answer, she looked up. "Angel?" Buffy asked in surprise. She felt like her heart stopped.
