A/N: The song lyrics are from JoJo's " Get out". I claim nothing but the character Talia.
Cordelia was livid, but she should have seen it coming. She�d stormed out of the room when they�d been doing their big group hug thing. How could Angel say that to her? He had told her that he�d loved her! Obviously that didn�t matter, because as soon as saint Buffy was back in the picture, she was chopped liver! She was pacing back and forth in the kitchen, when Wesley walked in.

" They do seem to be in their own little world, don�t they?" Cordelia stopped her pacing, and turned around to find not only Wesley, but Gunn, Fred, Connor, and Lorne.

" It just bugs me, you know? Everyone thinks the sun shines out of Buffy�s ass or something. It�s like the rest of us aren�t even here!" Fred walked further into the room, and crossed her arms.

" It does sort of feel like we�re in the way sometimes. They�ve got their own little click going on, and we�re just here. Angel is even more talkative with them lately, then he has been with us. It kinda makes me sad, cause I thought we had our own click." Wesley walked over to her, and put his arms around her. It took her a few minutes before she�d lean into him, but she did. Lorne walked in the midst of the group.

" Kiddies, you�ve got to remember something here. This is Angel�s past we�re talking about. These are the first people who ever made him feel like he was a part of something. Plus, that woman they were trying to save was the big time " star crossed" love of his life. It�s natural for him to still be attached to them." Cordy got huffy at this remark.

" Lorne, you�re forgetting that I was a part of that too! I was there when he was in Sunnydale with Buffy. I was there when she turned him into Angelus for the first time, and I was also there when she sent him to Hell! They�re out there acting like they�ve forgotten that or something." Gunn smiled at her.

" So, what you�re really trying to say is that you�re jealous. It�s okay to admit it, cause I sorta am myself. I mean they�re comfortable enough with each other to do the whole big group hug thing, and I don�t think we�ve ever come close to that in our group. Plus, you�ve been with us for a lot of the things Buffy�s been through. I realize Angel has been with us too, but he did make a lot of trips to Sunnydale that no one wanted to mention. Do you not remember when we came back from Pylea, and he found out she was dead? Man was not to be consoled, and for good reason. The honey of his dreams had just been killed and he couldn�t do anything to stop it. So yeah, we�re all out here, while he�s in there, but he�s still our friend, cord."

Cordelia just sighed, because they didn�t understand. She knew that things had gotten kind of screwy between them, but they�d had something special. It really pissed her off that he was acting like they hadn�t, just because Buffy was back in the picture! Well, she�d fix that, dammit! She�d have some words with Angel, and if he wouldn�t tell Buffy, then she sure as hell would! Just as she was about to storm back into the living room, Angel walked into the kitchen.

" Hey guys, we were wondering where you�d gone off to." Connor stepped up then.

" We didn�t want to get in the way of your bonding moment. Didn�t seem like we were needed in there." Angel nodded.

" I know, but that really had to be done. Even if there hadn�t have been a spell, those things should have been said anyway. Enough on that, we�re going to a club to celebrate. Not just for getting Buffy back, Willow said that Oz is awake and feeling better, so a celebration is in order." Fred moved away from Wesley to stand in front of Angel.

" A celebration? We�ve got another apocalypse about to happen, and the guest of honor isn�t even going to be there. Why would we go out celebrating?" Lorne walked up to them, and clapped his hands together.

" Oh sweet pea, because we�re all going stir crazy. Calling it a celebration is just an excuse to get out and have some fun, and I know just the place to go...with minimal demon activity."

***************************************************************************

The group, Buffy, Xander, Cordelia, Dawn, Connor, Gunn, Talia, Lorne, Wesley, Fred, Lindsey, Spike, Angel, Giles, Willow, and Andrew had been at this club for about an hour. They were sitting at connecting tables listening to horrible karaoke music. Lorne was drinking a sea breeze and looking like he wanted to vomit. He finally looked over at Talia, and smiled.

" Tay, Please go up there and teach these people how to do it. I need some real talent up there!" She smiled at him.

" Okay, Lorne. There is a new song out I�ve been wanting to try out. I�ll give it a shot." Getting up from her seat, Talia went over to the machine when the last guy stopped singing. She picked her selection, and when she started singing the whole place grew silent as they listened. It was as if she were singing to a certain person, and he knew who he was.

"I've been waiting all day for ya babe
So won't cha come and sit and talk to me
And tell me how we're gonna be together always
Hope you know that when it's late at night
I Hold on to my pillow tight
And think of how you promised me forever
(I never thought that anyone)
Could make me feel this way
(Now that you're here boy all I want)
Is just a chance to say"
Faith sat up in her seat, as if she knew what was about to happen. Lorne and the rest of the group were swaying to the music, oblivious to the tension slowly building in the room. Faith looked over at Gunn, and he didn�t seem to get what she was singing. The music suddenly started to pick its beat up.

"Get Out, (leave) right now,
It's the end of you and me
It's too late (now) and I can't wait for you to be gone
'Cause I know about her (who) and I wonder (why) how I bought all the lies
You said that you would treat me right but you was just a waste of time (waste of time)"

Gunn suddenly looked over at Faith who was really wishing she wasn�t trapped in between Willow and Giles. It was slowly starting to come to the rest of the group who she was singing to.
"Tell me why you're looking so confused
When I'm the one who didn't know the truth
How could you ever be so cold
To go behind my back and call my friend
Boy you must have gone and bumped your head
Because you left her number on your phone
(So now after all is said and done)
Maybe I'm the one to blame but
(To think that you could be the one)
Well it didn't work out that way"

Gunn sat up in his seat and was aware of the glares that he was getting from Lorne, Angel, Wesley, and Fred. No one seemed to notice the fact that Faith was so uncomfortable, but Talia was looking right at her.
"wanted you right here with me but I have no choice you've gotta leave
Because my heart is breakin'
With every word I'm sayin'
I gave up everything I had
On something that just wouldn't last
But I refuse to cry
No tears will fall from these
Eyeee-eeee-eeees
Ooooh, ooooh
Get out"
When she finished her song, the club grew extremely loud from the applause she was getting. She smiled as if nothing was wrong, but their table knew different. She walked back to the table, and sat down next to Connor who was sitting on the outside. Lorne tried to make light of the situation.

" Now, that is what I�m talking about, darlin! Please, tell me why you�re not doing anything with those pipes of yours. I mean I know why now, but why haven�t you done anything before now?" Spike leaned over to her.

" Here, Here! That was bloody fantastic, pet." He leaned in closer so only she could hear his next words. " I don�t think everyone knows, but some do. Plus, no one knows it was Faith. I only know cause I smelled her on him when we were leaving, just didn�t want to say anything." She smiled at him, and shrugged her shoulders. Faith pushed her way out of the booth, just was Gunn was doing the same thing. Gunn walked over to Talia, grabbed her hand, and led her out of the bar. Faith was hot on their heels." Xander spoke sound very confused.

" Am I missing something here?" Everyone just rolled their eyes at him.

***************************************************************************

Outside was a different story. Faith was really upset, because she really wanted to be friends with Talia, but Gunn had messed that up. She didn�t like Gunn like that, and had no idea that he did. She�d been shocked when he�d grabbed her like that, but hadn�t had time to react before she�d walked up. Gunn was trying to talk to Talia, but she wasn�t having it.

" Listen Gunn, it�s okay. I�m not mad, regardless what the song said. I just wanted you both to know that I know. We were never an official couple or anything, we just had sex. You are totally free to do whatever or whoever you want. I could really care less at this point." Gunn put his hands on his head, showing his frustration.

" I�m really sorry you had to see that. I don�t even really know why I did it. I know she doesn�t like me like that, and I don�t even really like her like that. Maybe it was curiosity, I don�t know. I do know that I like you, and I don�t want us to be over." Talia just started to laugh at that.

" You really should have thought about that first, then." She was about to walk away when Faith stopped her.

" Tay, I really want to have a chat with you without Gunn." She looked at Gunn pointedly who took the hint, and left.

" Look, I want you to know, I didn�t try to take your man. I have no interest in Gunn that way, and was just as surprised at what he did as you were. I was about to tell him off when you walked up, but I didn�t want to do it front of you, plus you scared the shit out of me. I really want us to be friends, and I�m afraid that isn�t a possibilty anymore." Talia crossed her arms and sighed.

" Faith, I know you don�t like him that way. I saw you push him off when I walked up. I just thought everything should be out in the open. I�m really not one for confrontation, so I did what I know best...singing. It obviously worked, because I saw both of you squirming in your seats. I felt bad about you, but no offense it was worth it for Gunn." Faith laughed.

" It�s cool, I didn�t mind. Just remember one thing, and you�ll be fine. Men are scum, and they�re only good for one thing. I�m sure you�ll find someone, and you were hoping it would be him, but it obviously wasn�t. What do you say we go back in there, forget about this, and get shit faced?" Talia smiled and nodded. Together they walked back into the bar, arms around each other.
