TITLE: Our Hearts Will Go On 3/? AUTHOR: Michele V. EMAIL ADDRESS: glynisgrl33@yahoo.com FEEDBACK: Definitely, especially since this is my first fic- but since it is, please don't be too harsh SPOILERS: All episodes through "What's My Line 1 & 2" RATING: PG SUMMARY: A Buffy/Angel story that takes place after "What's My Line 1& 2," with some added Willow/Oz and Xander/Cordelia/ Also, Buffy and the gang find out about the return of the Master- in some form. DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the characters except for "The Elgradora" All of the other characters belong to Joss Whedon and the WB. No copywrite infringement intended. NOTE: I wrote this after "What's My Line 2" therefor without knowing that something similar would *sort of* happen in "Surprise" ********** PART 3 THE BRONZE Buffy, Xander, and Willow sat at a table talking. After a while, Xander stood up and asked Buffy and Willow if they wanted to dance. "Ok, sure" Willow answered. "Buffy?" Xander asked. "You know what, you guys go ahead. I'm-not really up to dancing right now," Buffy told them. "Are you sure Buffy?" Willow asked her. Buffy nodded. "Yeah. I'm sure." Xander and Willow started to walk out onto the dance floor. Xander turned back around to Buffy. "Hey, Buff. If this is about the thing with Angel, I wouldn't worry. I'm sure it can't be that bad," Xander said trying to cheer her up. Buffy nodded and smiled as best she could. She sat there alone at the table as her two friends danced on to each song that was played. Buffy kept watching the entrance, hoping that Angel would walk through it. Finally, Buffy spotted Angel walk in just as another, slower song came on. Angel looked around a bit, then finally noticed her. He started walking towards her table. Buffy had to smile at the sight of him. He looked just gorgeous. Like an angel. He finally reached here table. "Hey," he said softly. "Hi," Buffy said with a slight smile cross her face. Angel stood there, staring into Subject: BUFFYFIC: thanks everyone for your help! When I asked for help with the episode synopses yesterday, I certainly wasn't expecting to open my mailbox today and find 15 responses! I would have perferred to thank each of you individually (I don't think a mass thank-you is adequate), but AOL is evil and has this nasty little trick where it boots me offline and deletes my read emails instead of saving them to my "Mail You've Read" thing. Therefore, I lost track of who sent help. So, I'd like to thank each and every one of you who emailed me back with help; I was provided with a bunch of different URLs. You're all great, thankyou thankyou thank you! thanx bunches, jen (noodlebrain) PS- sorry again for not being able to thank you individually!!!!! - - ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 09 Mar 1998 00:20:20 -0500 From: Mark Safransky Subject: BUFFYFIC: DISCUSS: Curious Goods Michelle wrote one kickbutt crossover here. The mix of the Buffyverse with the Friday the 13th: The Series worked pretty well. Of course, this story does ignore the instances where FT13TS did do vampires. But that's what fanfic is for. The cursed stake and it's history were very well done and the feelings Buffy has under it's influence were very well written as well. The spelling was good and the grammer as well. Yeah for Beta-Readers! It kept the flow of the story going and I must again say it was a joy to read. Michelle, we want a sequel now!

It's been so long since I've seen the series that I couldn't remember. And it would have messed up the story. :-) Hopefully I'll be able to catch reruns soon and maybe try to explain it in a sequel.

Distribution: Just ask. On my page: http://members.aol.com/treycash/ff3.html ************** THIS USED TO BE MY PLAYGROUND Author's Note: This doesn't exist within any particular time-frame. It does however deal with the death of the Slayer so be fore-warned. Disclaimer: Joss is da man. Buffy not mine. Blah, blah, blah. Notes: Title is from Madonna. Have no clue who wrote the song the quotes came from. "Life's so fragile and love's so pure We try to hold on but we can't We watch how quickly it disappears And we never know why" We were a group. All of us. United in a bond of fear and pain that would hold us together forever. Even when the end hit us like a ton of bricks at mach ten. We came from a place where the darkness we knew as small children was a reality even as we tried to put our childhood away in the closet. And the light which had always seemed our salvation became little more than a bitter reminder that we were only safe some of the time. And so when it faded and she fell to her destiny; so did we. A quiet night. The type where a peaceful walk through the park should have calmed our nerves. We should have known better..our world could never exist within the childish fantasy of sanity. A church bell ringing far in the distance. We have a lot of them around here but I've never heard one quite as haunting as that. And all we knew then was a hallucinatory thought brought on by the terrifying psychosis we called our own. Danger in submission; agony in aversion. And we found her. Red on green. Dying on the grass. She breathed in large gasps and pawed at the ground trying to find some type of control. What good would it have been to tell her that even in her finest moments, she lacked that precious balance. We tried to ease her delirium but it was a futile effort. In her last moments, we could do little for her body so we concentrated on closure. It was all any of us had left. We said our goodbyes. And as we took our grief and poushed it away, she took her last breath and died. Another was called. The cycle began again. Just not for us. That was the first time I ever saw Xander cry. Head in his hands, he tried to be strong but the tears rushed down his cheeks. Oz moved cautiously over to Willow and pulled her to him, crushing her with the fierceness of his emotion. Angel collapsed to the ground and blood flowed from his eyes. And then Xander looked up at me and in that moment, he let me into his heart and soul. "But I'm okay now Goodbye, my friends You can go now Goodbye, my friends" - - ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 9 Mar 1998 16:07:34 EST From: JMHnoodles Subject: BUFFYFIC: DISCUSS: This Used To Be My Playground 1/1 wow. This is very powerful, and quite well written. You know it's good when your audience is at a loss for words, and I was certainly stunned into silence. Very, very good.

I accidentally wrote: "Angel heard the sound of a vehicle nearby and saw two black drive up." It was supposed to say: "Angel heard the sound of a vehicle nearby and saw two black cars drive up." I hate spending time proof reading, so mistakes will occure often. I will try to spell check, tho. Small note to Anna: "rendevous" wasn't in the spell checker, and I am toooooo lazy to grab a dictionary. Just one of my faults! :) I will try to send more parts in, but I am having a small case of writers block, so it might be a few days. Thanks for bearing with me, and keep reading!
