Chapter Nine

Everyone was in a confrence room at Wolfram & Hart. They were just waiting for Willow, Oz, Dawn, Andrew, and Kennedy to show up. Fred wasn't there, because they hadn't been able to find her. They had all decided to let Oz in on everything because he was an original scooby, plus everyone just missed him. Angel was still mad about Spike being there, and Buffy wasn't sure why. It wasn't because of her, she was sure of it. Maybe he just didn't like Spike, which was understandable. Nobody liked Spike. Well, they did now, but they didn't use to. She was pacing the floor of the confrence room. She was really excited about seeing Dawn. She knew it had only been a few weeks, but she still missed her sister.

It was then that Willow and Kennedy walked through the door, and were shortly followed by Dawn and Andrew. Everyone was riveted in their place waiting for Oz to walk through the door, but he never did. Buffy walked up to Willow and gave her hug, then she gave Dawn a hug. She back over at Willow. " Where is he? Did he not come with you, or is he trying for the dramatic entrance?" Willow looked around the room and then back at Buffy. " He's downstairs in the lobby. He said he didn't want to come up because he wasn't part of the group anymore." Buffy looked over at Angel. " Do you want to come with me, so he'll get the picture?" Instead of answering, he just followed her.

When they got to the elevator Buffy looked at Angel. " Are you okay with what's happening, Angel?" He looked over at her. " I don't really have a say in anything, Buffy, but yes, I'm okay with it. Giles should be the one to be in charge, because he's the one who knows what we're up against." She looked at him strangely. " Then what's wrong? You've been very quiet and I know you're usually quiet, but more so than normal, and why are you staring at me that way?" He smiled at her, and moved closer to her.

" It's just weird, ya know? You had your Scooby group, and I wasn't a part of that. Then I had my own little group, and you weren't a part of that. Now, we're all here together, all of us, and it's just weird. I think it'll work, because you have a great team, and I have a great team. If both our teams are great, then how will they be together?" She was smiling by the time he was finished talking. " I know what you mean, Angel. It's very weird being here, and it's not just because you're here, it just feels right."

The elevator doors opened, they were greeted with silence. It was after work hours, and everyone had gone home for the day. At first they didn't think anyone was there, but then they saw a figure sitting on the couch. They looked at each other, and then walked towards him. It took a few minutes before he noticed them, but when he did he stood up. " Hey, Buffy, Angel. Is the meeting over?"

Angel spoke first. " Oz, we haven't even started the meeting yet." He looked confused. " Why not?" This time it was Buffy who spoke. " Oz, we're waiting for you. We told you over the phone that we wanted you to be a part of this. Willow told us you said you weren't part of the group anymore, but you're wrong. We're your friends, Oz, and that's all this 'group' is. We're all friends." Oz looked down. Buffy thought that he was actually going to say no, but when he raised his head he was smiling.

" That was a great speech, Buffy."

The others were in the confrence room waiting for them to return with Oz. Kennedy was standing next to Willow with an angry expression on her face. Giles noticed that Willow didn't seem to happy either. He thought maybe he should try to lighten everyone's mood. " So, Willow, how are you doing?" Willow looked over at him and smiled. " Oh, I'm good, Giles. I'm just so glad that you're back from England. We were all missing you something awful." Kennedy made a face, and then turned to Giles.

" Look, I don't understand why this meeting is any of Oz's business. He's just a werewolf, and don't we kill monsters?" Giles took his glasses off and was about to defend Oz, when Buffy, Angel, and Oz walked through the door. It was Buffy that was doing the talking. " No, we do not kill werewolves. They are human every day of the month except for three days at the full moon. It's not their fault they're wolves. They were bitten. If it's any of your business, Oz isn't a werewolf anymore, and if you come near him with intent to harm him, I will break your arm off. The only reason you're still in this room, is because Willow is one of my best friends. I'm not going to do anything to intentionally hurt her. So, just sit down, shut up, and I won't have to physically throw you out."

Kennedy started lauging. " Oh, Buffy, you wouldn't dare. This is your boss's place. He wouldn't let you do anything to me." Angel stepped foward and just looked at her. " Oz is my friend, and if you do anything to him, you'll be lucky if it's Buffy you get."
