The Way Things Should Be
Disclaimer: Anala is mine. So are the spells.(Mostly) The three times three spell is from someone else, not sure who exactly. The first part of the wolf protection chant isn't mine, but I'm not sure who's it is. I added the last part, obviously. "When I Fall in Love" belongs to Celine Dion and whoever else. All characters belong to Joss, the WB, Mutant Enemy, FOX, and whoever else came up with them. If they belonged to me the show would be drastically different. Please don't sue, I'm only a high-schooler without a job anyways.
Distribution: Ask and I will most likely give permission.
Rating: Same as the TV show

Part One
"Riley, I need to talk to Angel. Alone."
Riley stared at her, but didn't move a muscle.
"I'm not going anywhere. After what that bastar.."
Buffy glared daggers at him and took a few steps towards him.
Buffy spoke slowly, as if to a little child, "Go! I don't need protection from the big, bad vampire. I need to talk to him. Without you here. "
Riley looked into her eyes, and must have recognized the look he saw there. "I'll wait right outside."
Buffy just rolled her eyes and herded him out the door.
She turned slowly to Angel. "Sorry about that. He's kinda..."
"An idiot?"
"I was gonna say overprotective, but..."
"Look, I didn't come here to disrupt your life. Riley <he said the name with disgust> is not any of my business. I just wanted to say I was sorry. I was way out-of line..."
"It means a lot that you came here, but Angel, it wasn't just you. I had no right to say some of the things I did. "
"But no matter what, I shouldn't have hit yo..."
"I kinda hit you first." Buffy grinned.
"Doesn't matter."
" Yes, it does Angel. We were both wrong. Let's just move on with..."
" Our lives? Try even harder than we were to forget?"
Buffy looked at him curiously when he said that. She got a momentary sense of deja-vu. Something about forgetting... She reluctantly brought her mind back to the present, trying to concentrate on what he had said even though she was feeling overwhelmed just being near him again.
" Not forget, Angel. Just move on. I'll never forget you..."
Whoa! Buffy thought to herself, that same weird feeling. What was going on?
He didn't notice her discomfort, he was too pre-occupied with his inner turmoil. He wanted to take her into his arms right there, but knew he no longer had that right. Besides, he knew how it would end.
"I won't forget either. But Buffy..."
Just then Angel was interrupted by the phone ringing.
Buffy looked at him apologetically and went to answer it.
Buffy spoke "(to Angel) Hold that thought. (into phone) Hello?"
Angel watched her as her beautiful face creased with lines of worry. He couldn't hear what was being said, he only knew it was upsetting her. He wanted to kill whoever was upsetting her so.
Buffy said into the phone, "Go to Giles' place Will, I'll be there as soon as I can. Everything will be alright. I'll let Xand know to meet us there."
She hung up and quickly dialed another number. Hey, Xander, are you with Anya? Okay, good, you two get your buts to Giles. Willow and Tara were at a Stevenson party when a huge group of vampires crashed the place. Willow thinks they were working for Adam they may be going after the Initiative, checking it's defenses, etc..,we gotta move fast."
She hung up, and turned to Angel, who was looking at her with puzzlement.
He had no clue what Stevenson was or who Adam was. And all he knew of the Initiative was that they had tried to kill him and were pretty much bad. So why was Buffy worried about them?
She read the look in his face, so she explained. "Yeah, the Initiative may be bad, but they also have hundreds of cages with monsters, demons, vamps, and other creatures of the night. If Adam needs to build an army that would be a great place to go. There are secret ways in, but not enough to get a lot of vamps in at the same time to free everyone. They're probably looking for a direct entrance. "
As she had been talking, she had put on a lightweight coat and filled it's pockets with Slayer paraphernalia. She tossed him a few things and they were off. She hadn't even questioned that he would come with, she just knew he would.
As they opened the door, she had started to continue explaining, only to be blocked by Riley. "Where are you guys going?"
Mad beyond anything for him not understanding Angel and her's relationship even after all the time she had taken to explain, and for messing with her boyfriend, even though he no longer technically was, she brushed by him.
"Someplace that you don't need to be. Go back into hiding Riley, before the Initiative finds you."
And with that she breezed by him.
Angel gave him a slight smirk before following in her wake.
