Buffy was so happy to see Riley, it was the best surprise. He enveloped her into a huge hug and she didn’t want him to let go of her. He lifted up his head to look at her, but he didn’t release her. Buffy leaned her forehead on his chest, just breathing in his scent. She’d missed him so much and that was when the guilt swamped her. She had the biggest urge to tell him what she’d done and beg for forgiveness, but the loving look in his eyes stopped her. He finally eased his hold on her to smile down at her. Buffy looked around and saw that they were alone. She grabbed Riley by the back of the neck and pulled his face down into a passionate kiss. She could tell instantly that he responded, but she didn’t. This wasn’t good so she pulled herself up so that they were closer. He seemed surprised, but immediately took up her queue. Buffy was getting panicked because she wasn’t responding to his touch. Breaking apart for oxygen, she smiled up at him again. He pulled her down on the Porch swing with him.
“Well, I guess that qualifies as happy to see me. How are you doing, babe? I couldn’t wait any longer, I had to see you. ” Buffy grinned at him, she really did love him.
“I’m so glad that you did, I can’t believe you’re here! This whole move is ridiculous, he should have been the one to move, not us.” Riley sighed and stood up.
“I couldn’t agree more. I can stay for dinner, so I thought it would be a perfect time to ask your mom about Homecoming.” Buffy sighed but didn’t contradict him. When they went inside, Joyce smiled brightly at Riley, she’d always like him. Buffy grabbed her hand took her to the kitchen. Joyce raised an eyebrow at her daughter, though she had an idea of what was coming.
“Mom, Riley and I want to go to Homecoming together at Hemery. Is it okay if I go with him?” Joyce sighed with relief, glad to know that’s all it was.

“Of course honey, I expected you to go with him to the prom too.” Buffy’s face lit up at her approval, she hadn’t thought she’d get it. She reached up and hugged her mom.
“Thank you!”
             **************************************************
        The next day at school, Buffy was positively floating as she entered her first period class. The others noticed the change in her and were curious. Buffy didn’t know if she wanted to announce that Riley had been to visit, because she was worried about the reaction she’d get form Spike. They had just agreed that they’d be friends and nothing else, but if she brought Riley up, would he be vindictive about it? They got through the first part of school fine; Buffy’s mood was as high as it could be. When they got to lunch, Dawn sat down with them with a giggle. She was happy that her sister was so happy.
“God Buffy, could you be any more hyper?” Buffy just shrugged and continued to smile. Willow sat down with a sigh and glanced over at the other side of the cafeteria. Buffy followed her gaze and saw that she was looking at the Bass player she was crushing on. Buffy looked back at Willow with a grin.
“I’ll be right back.” She walked over to where the red head was sitting by himself. He looked up when he saw her approaching. She stopped short at his table.
“May I sit for a moment?” Oz kept his expression cool and nodded shortly. Buffy sat down across from him and still couldn’t keep the smile off of her face.
“Hi Oz, I’m Buffy Summers, the new girl in town. I know that this is gonna seem weird, but I just have a message for you.” Oz sat up straight and regarded her coolly.
“Okay, shoot.” Buffy glanced over her shoulder and saw that Willow had lowered her head and was blood red.
“My friend, Willow, has a big crush on you. She’s really smart, funny, and caring, but she’s very shy to approach you. I know you must get this a lot being in a band and all.” Oz did a weird little half smile.
“Actually, no, that’s Devon’s territory.” Buffy’s smile just got bigger.
“Well, that’s it really; I just wanted to tell you that Willow likes you.” Oz glanced over at her table and a quick look of surprise showed on his face, but it was instantly gone.
“You’re talking about Willow Rosenberg?” Buffy nodded, hoping that he wasn’t going to say something mean. He looked down for a minute then met her eyes again.
“Wow, I didn’t know she was into me, that’s kind of cool.” Buffy giggle slightly, but stifled it.

“So you like her too?” Oz shrugged, trying to appear nonchalant.
“I’ve always thought that she was cute. You should tell her to join me for lunch.” Buffy jumped up and practically ran towards her lunch table. When she got there, Willow looked up, completely mortified.
“Buffy, why did you just do that? I told you that I didn’t want to know if he didn’t like me back.” The others were staring at her with hard expressions. Buffy raised her hands in surrender.

“Willow, I did it for you. He said that he’s always liked you and he wants you to join him at his table.” Willow’s head shot up and looked over at Oz, who was staring at her. Willow looked back over at Buffy.
“Oh my gosh, I don’t know what to do.” This got a giggle from Cordelia.
“Willow, just be yourself, you’ll be fine. Now go over there before he leaves.” They all watched as Willow grabbed her lunch tray and walked slowly over to where Oz was sitting. When Buffy sat back down, Xander draped his arm around her shoulders.
“Well that was a very nice thing you did for Willow. You have us all curious though, what’s up? You seem…happy.” Dawn snorted into her tray and then busted into a set of giggles.
“She’s just giggly because her boyfriend was at our house last night. He drove down after school to see her.” Buffy noticed that Spike frowned slightly, but he quickly recovered. Cordelia squealed delightedly as she looked back at Buffy.
“Oh no wonder you’ve been floating all day! Was it a good visit then?” Buffy nodded.
“Yeah, he asked me to go to Homecoming with him back at Hemery and my mom agreed to let me go.” Angel grinned, he didn’t talk much.
“That’s cool, Buffy, I’m glad for you.” When the Bell rang, they all stood up and looked back over to where Oz and Willow were absorbed in a conversation. They all giggled and walked out of the cafeteria. Once she was sitting next to Spike in the Science lab, he was quiet and didn’t say anything. Buffy finally got tired of it and looked over at him.
“Spike, what’s wrong with you?” Spike glanced over at her and shrugged.
“Nothing’s wrong, pet, I’m just trying to do this stupid lab.” Buffy sighed and rolled her eyes.
“You’re upset because I talked about Riley, aren’t you?” Spike turned his head towards her.
“Not at all, we agreed to be friends, didn’t we?” Buffy nodded, he was really starting to irritate her.
“Yes we did, so why aren’t you happy for me?” Spike scoffed and tossed his lab down.
“I just think it’s ridiculous that you’re so excited to see him when two nights ago we were fucking like rabbits.” Buffy sucked in a breath at his words. Why had she believed that they could be friends after that?
“Spike…we agreed yesterday.” Spike nodded angrily.
“Yes we did, but that doesn’t mean that I’m going to get all excited about you dating some wanker in another county. We can be friends…just don’t talk about that kind of thing with me, okay?” Buffy turned away from him and started to do her part of the lab again, completely ignoring him. When the class ended, Buffy grabbed her things and headed for the parking lot, not giving him another thought.
                      *******************************************
        Back at their house, Buffy and Dawn set out to make their dinner. Joyce was working late at the new gallery, trying to get it up and running in time. She had hired a manager, Rupert Giles…Spike’s dad. They’d been working hard together since they’d moved. She still couldn’t believe Spike from before. He wanted to be friends with her, but only at his stupid conditions. Well, he could keep his friendship, she didn’t need it. Her and Dawn sat down at the table with the pizza they’d cooked. Dawn was giving Buffy a very strange look, but she didn’t say anything at first. Once the pizza was gone, Dawn sighed and crossed her arms.
“I like Connor.” Buffy smiled slightly then wiped it off of her face.
“Is that a good thing or a bad thing?” Dawn looked down at her empty plate.
“I don’t know, Buffy, I’m confused. First of all, I don’t think he likes me back. Second of all, I still really like Andrew.” Buffy sighed and propped her elbows up on the table.
“Dawnie, you have to live in the now, okay? Andrew broke up with you because we moved here. Was it a stupid thing to do? It most certainly was, but you can’t pine for him. If you find that Connor likes you back and asks you out, you should go for it. You shouldn’t live your life around a guy that dumped you.” Dawn nodded, knowing that Buffy was right.
“I know, I just kind of feel guilty when I start looking at Connor. I know what you’re saying is right, but I dated Andrew for almost as long as you’ve been dating Riley.” Buffy stood up and took her plate to the sink.

“I can only give you my opinion, Dawnie; it’s really up to you.” Just then, Buffy’s cell phone started to ring. She picked it up immediately because she knew it was Riley. When she said hello, there was a hesitation.
“Buffy…I have to tell you something and I don’t think you’re going to like it.” Buffy sat back down in the chair that she’d just vacated and gave Dawn a worried look.
“What’s wrong, Riley?” She heard him sigh which made her even more apprehensive.
“I’ve been seeing someone else.” Buffy felt like she’d been sucker punched. She knew in her mind that she didn’t have a right to be upset because she’d slept with someone else too.
“What do you mean you’ve been seeing someone else? For how long?” Riley groaned into the phone, clearly wanting to leave at what he’d said.
“Buffy, this is going to sound horrible. I’ve been sleeping with Jennifer since you told me you were moving to Sunnydale.” Buffy couldn’t respond to what he’d said. He’d cheated with her best friend? She was aware of Dawn’s shocked look. Buffy took a shaky breath before finally answering him.
“You’ve been dating Jen? Riley, how could you do that? Why the hell did you come down here if you were going to tell me this?” Riley hesitated again.
“I had broken it off yesterday because I love you and only you. She told me today that she’s pregnant. I am going to help her take care of it, Buffy. I need to be here for her while she goes through this. You’re in Sunnydale and I’m here and our relationship just isn’t right for right now. When we go off to college, we can pick up where we left things, but right now, we need to take a break.” Buffy scoffed into the phone. He sure had a lot of nerve.
“Riley, you can take your ‘break’ and shove it right up your ass! If you think that we’re going to get back together after this, you’re seriously deluded. I let it slide the first time you cheated on me, but this…well, you can go to hell.” She hung up her phone and felt the tears spill onto her cheeks. She was sort of glad that things were over between them, but Jen? It made sense why she hadn’t called her since she moved now. When she felt someone’s hands on hers, she looked up to see her mom kneeling in front of her.
“Honey, are you okay? I sort of heard the last of your conversation. I’m here, baby. ” Buffy leaned forward and let her mom envelope her into a tight hug. Buffy cried out her frustration and hurt at the betrayal. Dawn came up behind Buffy and wrapped her arms around her neck in a hug. Buffy lifted her head and wiped the tears away from her eyes. Joyce continued to hold her hands.
“You’ll get through this, Buffy, you’re a strong girl. I know you don’t want to hear this, but I’m sure you’ll find someone here that you like. Just give it time.” Buffy nodded and stood up. She climbed the stairs to her room and crawled into her bed. She already had someone in mind that she could spend some quality time with now without guilt.
