Not the way I wanted to start a vacation.
I should've stayed in Africa.
Okay, not totally serious there, with Wil and Dawn and Buffy here. Didn't realize how much I missed them until I saw them at the park. It's just the people (and non-people) that I saw first that ruined things.
Angel. Right there in the airport. With an entourage that looked like they'd been through a few pulverizing sessions with a big something. Or several big somethings.
He brought a whole lot of but bad news. Just like old times. First... Okay, I'd heard about Wesley - that attempt-at-a-watcher guy Buffy had to deal with for a while - working for Angel (or sometimes I'd heard that Angel was working for him... Never got that figured out because, hey, didn't care), but he just got killed. I feel bad for the guy, but that was a side note with the other part of the news. Cordy's dead. Went into a coma last year sometime, and she died a few months back. What, Angel could call somebody to tell us? No, of course not. This is Mr. I Brood About Myself All The Time. It's all about him. But Cordy... Hadn't seen her in years, but .. yeah. Wasn't easy to hear that.
And y'know what else this means? Nobody who's dated me has lived to tell the tale. Well, except Willow, but we were five so that doesn't count. Other than that? I'm a curse.
That wasn't even all the news. See, I figured I was in a nightmare when I first saw them in the airport, because along with Angel, there was this girl with blue hair and... interesting clothes, a seriously-thrashed unconscious guy in a wheelchair, and... You're not going to believe it. I still don't believe it. Spike. Yeah, the guy who supposedly turned into a big mass of flame and closed the hellmouth. Saved the world. I've even said a couple of nice things about the guy since, him being a pile of dust and all. But no. He's back, not-living and not-breathing. Not sure how that happened. Apparently, it had something to do with an amulet and Angel.
So how come a dead guy gets to come back from the more-dead, but An other people who died in that exact same battle stay dead? That's what I wanna know.
And now there's some horde of demons (another one, or so I'm hearing - basically, a second wave) looking for them. Yeah, this is Big Vacation Fun. But Angel says this fight was for Cordy, so... I said I'd help. For Cordy's sake. Not because of them.
Hope their friend wakes up soon. Man, I hate to see a non-evil guy messed up like that. And the girl with them seems okay (I'd say unusual is also a decently good word), and she called me a warrior because of my patch. Didn't mind that.
Still haven't heard all the details, but I've gotta crash. Too much happening in a not a lot of time, and I need my 90 minutes if I'm gonna function or process any of this.
