SKATE DATE (wow that sounds horrible.)
Who: Angel, Buffy, Cordy, Xander
When: Early evening
Where: A skating rink a few towns over
What: A totally non-date night out, on ice! There probably won't be any interruptions from crazy vampire ninja assassins, but one can always hope...?
Angel frowned as he gently patted the top of his hair, trying to somehow *feel* if it looked okay. It was times like this that not having a reflection in a mirror really felt like a disadvantage. Not that this was a real date. As much as he'd love to go somewhere with Buffy, just the two of them, he wanted to take things slow this time around. Of course, as soon as they were alone in a room together, not rushing things kinda became damn near impossible. Which is why he had pretty much begged (bribed) Cordelia to come along. With Buffy bringing Willow, it assured that the fun evening out, would remain just that. A night out among friends. But even if he wasn't going to be out with Buffy on a date, he still wanted to look his best for her.
It wasn't too often any of them found the time for a night off. And even when they did, there was always something. The fight always seemed to find them, no matter how hard they tried to avoid it. Even if there were plenty of Slayers, and good witches, and souled vampires, and rogue demon hunters, there was definitely no shortage of assorted hellspawn to be taken out.
This wouldn't be the first time he'd be going ice skating with Buffy, but he was hoping that tonight wouldn't be a direct repeat. Well, there were certain parts of that date he wouldn't mind repeating, actually. Just not the whole uninvited assassin part. That kinda thing had a tendency to ruin the entire evening...
After one final pat to the hair, Angel headed out and up to the main house to wait until everyone else was ready to leave.
