Part 9

"Angel!" Buffy called from the front of the mansion.  She ran into the main room.  The finished tree glittered brightly, still plugged in.  She ran straight to the bedroom and flung open the door.  "Angel?"

"What?" Angel looked up, still dressed in his clothes.  He looked like he'd just saw a ghost.  Literally.

"Well... I-I had a dream.  So did Willow and Xander, and-"

"I know." He cut her off.  "I had the same one.  Jenny, and our pasts?" Buffy nodded vigorously.

"That's the one.It really spooked out the other two, and it's starting to creep me out.  I just came to see if you had it too.  Well... I'm sorry to disturb you,so late.  I-I'd-"

"-Better get back home." Angel finished for her.

"Uh-huh.  Well..." There was a silence before Buffy gave in.  "Can I stay here?  I know it's weird, but...I'm scared."

Angel was taken back by this, but nodded and guided her to the bed.  "I'll sleep on the couch.  If you want." He said,taking a pillow from the bed.

"Yeah-No!  I mean,I'll have the couch.  I mean... Oh damn I don't know what I mean."  There was a blinding light that illuminated the room again.  And Willow and Xander appeared.

"Oh.  Not *again*!" Xander proclaimed,letting himself fall on the bed.  He got back up and tested the bed.  "Hey.  I can...feel it."  He pulled a hair out of his head and instantly regretted it.

"What are we doing back here?  And this time,in full form?" Willow asked,testing her walking skills.  By the window,in a flurry of light and color,appeared a figure.  She was tall and looked as if she were Caribbean.

"Nice to see you again." The figure spoke in an accent.  Jamaican this time.

Buffy took a close look,and saw faint scratch marks across the neck.  "Kendra?"
