The Scooby fruits were hanging at the fruitful Bronze as usual.  There the most popular drinks were the Fruit Espresso, Fruit Late, Fruit Cocoa Jumbo Capo chino. Willow was pretty tall compared to the others. She had to be careful not to peal her yellow skin off. Buffy doesn't let her go on patrol with her because one time a demon almost ripped off her banana peal. She asked Xander, "Are you using moisturizers on your skin? We don't want you to get moldy and rinkly."

Xander was an apple. A while ago he got just one little mark on his skin.  He was afraid it might spread and destroy his shiny exterior.

"Twice a day just like you said." He responded to Willow's caring comment.

Anya was the most beautiful plum in Sunnydale. Her cheeks were a perfect shade of violet.  She took a sip of her Fruit Strawberry Plum combo mocha and then said, "Definitely not moldy.  If you did, it could greatly affect the sex.."

      Xander smiled at his pretty plum. "Thanks Anya. I love you."

      "I love you too." She smiled back. "That's one of the reason's we're engaged. To celebrate that love. Cuz we're in love."

      "Exactly."  Xander kissed her cheek.

      Willow glanced at Oz who was on stage performing a gig.  He is an apricot.  Willow loves his soft fuzzy exterior.  She glanced back at Buffy the peach. She was swirling her straw in her soft drink.  "Buffy?" Willow said softly.

      Buffy let out a sigh and said, "Hmm?"

      "Why are you looking so peachy?"

      She looked up at Willow and gave a pathetic smile. "I'm fine."

      "Buffy..." Willow prodded.

      "Angel and I haven't done anything together in almost two weeks." She sighed.  "He said that he'd take me to a movie tonight... but he canceled.  He said that there is an important case he's been working on and that something important came up tonight."  Warm tears trickled down her cheeks.

      "Buffy.. I'm sure it's nothing."

      "It's just like that brooding.." Xander began, "He likes to surprise you."

      "What are you talking about?" Buffy asked.

      "He's looking hot tonight." Anya said who is also a grapefruit.

      Buffy turned around wiping her tears. She smiled at the beautiful sight. A beautiful, shiny red pepper named Angel was slowly walking towards her.  Angel held Buffy's hand and said, "Hey sweetheart."

      Buffy's eyes got more watery. She smiled, "I thought you had a thing."

      "No. I just wanted to surprise you.  I'm sorry I made you upset, I just wanted it to be a surprise.  The case I was working on." He smiled.

      "What.. what case were you working on?"

      "My soul." He stared deeply into her eyes and cupped her chin. "My soul is permanent. With the help of Willow and everyone."

      Happy tears fell down her cheeks. Some dripping into Angel's hand. "You guys knew about this?" She smiled and they nodded. "I love you guys!" She paused and looked at Angel. "God.. I love you!"

      Angel stretched his arms around Buffy's round body for a tight hug. Then Buffy kissed him on the lips. He kissed her back as passion escalated. "So.. was the two weeks of not seeing each other worth it?"

      "It was definitely worth it! But why'd it take so long?"

      Willow smiled and said, "It was like a piece a day kinda thing. Plus Oz had to travel to Colorado to get some Mirlin herbs that can't be found here. Complicated spell.  If we made one mistake we wouldn't be able to do it for another 43 years.  Because the Mirlin herbs and the Canadian Nyjet spices can only be grown every 43 years. And we only had two of them. So basically we had just two chances. Got it on the first try.  His soul is as cemented as... cement."

      "Wow... Willow. It's amazing what you can do. Thank you so much." Buffy smiled, wrapping an arm around Angel.

      "I want you guys to be happy."

      "Now we will be." Angel spoke in a husky voice. "Let's go for a walk. It's a clear night."

      "Walk sounds good to me." As they headed out the door Buffy added, "She's getting a huge fruit basket in the morning."

     

      Buffy and Angel smiled, exiting the Bronze and walked beneath the shining stars. They didn't need to talk.  Buffy's smooth side gently brushed Angel once in a while. He would brush back with more tenderness.  He had his arm around his love.  It was a little chilly so he gave Buffy his coat and rubbed her back.  She gave him a little purr and he continued rubbing.  Slowly Buffy with her petite orange hands, reached over to his free right hand.  She held on to it for dear life.  It was so romantic just strolling below the twinkling stars.  Listening to the sounds of little crickets. "Everything is perfect." she thought.  She could stare into his eyes forever and he could look at her for hours.  "She's a beautiful vision." he thought.  

      "His soul.." she began thinking.

      "is permanent." He continued as if reading her mind. "We can make love.  I can wake up in the morning with her in my arms. I won't ever turn into that monster I try so hard to hide."

      "I can kiss him and touch him in ways I've only dreamed of since that night he came back to me  in the mansion. [Beauty &  the Beasts]" She thought.

      Then before they both could realize anything, Buffy was standing on her toes; Angel was kneeling down and they were kissing.  Right there in the park.  Surrounded by nothing other then nature. No evil sight.  Just love and passion. Fruitful love. They stopped for a second. "You can take the breath outta me you know that?" Buffy smiled.

      Smiling, Angel responded with a simple, husky, "Yeah."

      "I love you, Angel.  More then life itself."

      He grinned, "Love.. is good." He kissed her forehead.

      She smiled and kissed him on the cheek. "It is.  I like.. love.  And your love.  Love is sweet and pretty.  And you can express it with pretty things like flowers and valentine candies.. and"

      Angel silenced her with his lips.  Not kissing her, just touching.  He backed off slightly. Buffy smiled and said, "I was babbling.. " She giggled.

      "I love it when you babble."

      "Good." She grinned.

      Angel slowly rapped his arm around her as she instantly did the same.  He laid her on the grass.  Removing her clothes and  undergarments, he gave her wet kisses in the hallow of her neck, chest and then her belly. She giggled as it tickled her slightly. She reached out to take off his clothes, but placed her hands to her side. "I'll do that for you.  You.. just relax."

      "Angel, it's kind of hard to relax... when you're so... hot and hard and taking my clothes off. God damnit Angel get on me pepper."    

      Angel let out a chuckle. "Talk about lack of patience. Maybe I'll just go a bit slower."  He slowly unbuckled his belt and began taking off his shirt.

      "Aaangell...!" She whined.

     "Ok.. ok."

      Angel quickly removed his clothes.. settling on top of her. He paused. "Angel?"

      "Buffy... not to ruin the mood or anything, but how are we supposed to do this? I mean I'm a little round and so are you.  This seems like it might be a difficult task."

      "Well I'm sure you can figure it out. Experiment." She grinned.

      They both overcame the problem. They had a beautiful romantic night love that they've only been able to dream of in the past. A dream come true. They were both lying there in the park, two souls wrapped in each others warmth. Suddenly reality creped it's way in.. they were in the park. A rather public place. Although it was kinda late, still anyone could walk by and see the naked fruits lying on the grass or a demon could attack them. So they quickly dressed each and walked to the mansion.

      "That was great." Angel said.

      Buffy smiled. "It was. We should do it again some time.. maybe in.. a... a pool!" She giggled.

      Angel laughed too and said, "Hmm.. I've never done that, but you know doing that at night in a public pool.. could be risky."

     "Risky? Jeez what isn't?" she grinned.  "Say... are you sleepy? Because I think I am. And well I need to be warm to fall asleep. It's a little chilly in here."

      "Chilly... and you need warming..." Angel pondered. "Whatever could you mean?"

      "You know." She said simply.

      "Yeah I know. Tonight I'll warm you up by holding you in your arms. Maybe eat some chocolate and peanut butter and I'll tell you a story."

      "That sounds nice too." She smiled.

      "I have some clothes in the top draw that you can sleep in. Why don't you change.."

      "Wanna watch?" She joked.

      "I wouldn't mind, but I think I'll go get that chocolate and peanut butter we talked about."

      "Mmm... Ok."



      Angel came back with chocolate and and a jar of peanut butter.  As they both dipped the chocolate in the peanut butter Angel began his tale of a soulful vampire and a beautiful blond who was the slayer. "She has the deepest love for her friends and mother. Everyday she hangs out with them. They go to bronze maybe slay a few vamps. Occasionally they go on patrol with their favorite slayer."

      "What's her name?" Buffy asked.

      "Buffy Anne Summers."

      "Ooh.. and is she pretty?" Buffy asked, smiling.

      "She's the prettiest woman on earth. A Goddess." He grinned.

      Buffy laid her head between his firm chest and his shoulder. She closed her eyes and said, "Tell me more."

      "Buffy is witty, funny, sweet as honey, she can take your breathe away with her beauty in a second.  She charms you with a gorgeous smile.." Angel smiled even more.

      "Mmmm.." Buffy mumbled as she started getting sleepy.

      "She's strong, intelligent... she's very spry. She's... a great kisser." His grinned grew bigger, "Great with her hands." He laughed. "Her heart can warm up a whole city. You take a look at her and you just can't help, but smile.  She loves me.  She knows the things the beast inside me has done and still she stays by me. It pains me I've hurt her so much in the past.  The day she died.." his smiled faded, "I died. If my heart was beating it would have stopped. I froze when I found out. I felt like I was choking. I couldn't breathe even though I  don't need air. My life. I died. I died when she died. Cordelia was scared that's for sure. She didn't know what to do. I just down on my knees, staring at the floor. Then a tear fell. And I let it all out. My emotions a mixer of anger, sadness, denial.  I screamed in pain. My heart was hurting. I cried and cried..." a tear streamed down his cold cheeks. "After that I just laid on the floor. Cordy touched me.. I flinched and let out a growl. They thought I should be left alone, so they went in the other room.  Buffy's best friend Willow slowly walked up to me.  She was crying. Crying for Buffy. For me.  The world. I closed my eyes and continued to cry. Willow knelt down and sat with her legs stretched out. She rubbed my back. I felt her  tears dripping onto my face and mixing with mine. She said one thing, 'She wants you live for her Angel. Live for her. If you just die ... and go into a little shell... then she's just died in vain.'  I sniffed and fell asleep.  I woke up in my bed. They had all carried me there.

      "Four months had gone by. I went to a monastery which turned out to have demon monks. I came home and everyone was happy to see me. I was happy to see them. So I continued to fight. I fought your death that still attempted to consume me. I lived for you. I fought for you.  Then there was a call.  Fred told me it was a girl. She said the voice was shaky.  I picked up the phone. You said, 'Angel? I need you.'

      "Tears sprang to my eyes." He smiled.  "I said, 'hold on. I'm coming baby.' I dropped the phone and ran out of the hotel and drove to Sunnydale. You were still sitting at the couch waiting for answer from me when you heard a knock on the door. You opened and time itself froze just for us.    Before I knew it was holding you in my arms tightly. I was crying.  Crying happy tears.  'How... how is this possible?' I said. Willow answered walking in from the kitchen, 'Tara, Xander, Anya and I did a resurrection spell.'  I was too happy for Buffy to be back to notice that Willow was a banana. 'Willow?'  She answered smiling, 'This was a side-effect of the spell.  Some bikers rode over the Inner Osirus and made us fruits.  It should probably be happening to you and Buffy very soon.'" Angel laughed at the memory. "We instantly turned into fruits. A peach and a pepper."

      Angel looked down at his peachy lover who had been fast asleep. He smiled and kissed her cheek.  He closed his eyes. "It's fate Buffy. We belong together. Always will be together.  Cherish this miracle forever."

      In Buffy's sleep she whispered, "Don't forget to give Willow a big fruit basket."

      Angel grinned.  He closed his eyes. Held her closer to him. "I love you Beloved."

      Buffy whispered in her sleep.  "Always."
