Buffy was spending a few days at her mom’s house, since her mom was away in Boston, on a business trip. Dawn had to stay in Sunnydale, so, she stayed over to look after her for a few days. It was Saturday afternoon, and Dawn was spending the weekend at her friend’s house. It was a bright, sunny summer day, and she decided to go swimming. There was a pool in her mom’s backyard, and she currently took up residence on a large, blue raft, getting a tan. She and Angel decided to spend the day together, and they were going to stay there. Buffy’s eyes were closed and she was lying there comfortably. All of sudden, there was a large noise and before she could open her eyes, she was covered in water. When she looked over to where it came from, she saw her boyfriend standing next to her, with a smirk on his face. He had jumped in, just to splash her.

He grinned at her, “I think I made my point in saying ‘hi’”, he said.

She shot him a playful glare and slid off the raft. She went under and the popped up in front of him, “Hi…was there a sudden urge to splash me?”, she asked.

He smirked and leaned down a little; “Maybe, but then you’d do the same thing to me”.

She gave him an innocent look, “I have no idea what you’re talking about”, she said with a sweet smile.

He smiled, “You’re far from innocent, but you’re cute when you have that look…”, he told her and leaned down, kissing her softly.

She returned the kiss and deepened it slightly. When they finally pulled apart, Buffy grinned evilly, putting her hands on his shoulders and pushing down, dunking him.

He went down and the came up again, but picked her up on his way up.

She gasped slightly, and looked down at him, “What are you gonna do now?”, she asked. As soon as she said it, Angel lifted her up and threw her back, making her crash into the water.

He chuckled and heard her come up, but doesn’t see her. He looked around and then, finally, turned around, coming face to face with Buffy. She gave him a look, which made him take a few steps back. It was the kind of look she has, every time she was going to do something she wasn’t supposed to do.

She went under again and when he turned around, she was perched on the edge of the pool, holding something behind her back.

He walked towards her, “What’s behind your back?”, he asked curiously.

“Well…if you really wanna know….”, she began and pulled out a green water gun, aimed it at his forehead and fired.

He chuckled and tried to move out of shooing range. “Hey!”, he said while chuckling.

She just grinned and kept shooting, most of her targets, hitting their mark.

He quickly moved up, now standing in front of her, and looked like he was going to grab her. She moved slightly and he quickly jumped out of the pool and stood besides her, picking her up.

“Ah! No fair!”, she exclaimed.

He smirked and threw her in and saw her crash into the water. He chuckled and jumped in after her.

She came back up and saw him walking towards her, with an evil glint in his eye. She went under again and swam over to where the raft was floating. She came up, now under it and hid there.

He looked around slightly and then over at the raft, seeing her. He swam past her and then stopped, swimming up behind her and grabbed one of her arms.

She raised her other arm, which held her weapon, about to use it.

He caught her hand in mid-air, maneuvering the water gun out of her hand. He kept his hands on her arms while she put them across her stomach. He bent down, “Gotcha”, he whispered and kissed her neck a few times. He saw her smile and then he picked his head, leaning over and kissing her quickly.

She kissed him back quickly and smiled, “That’s a good thing to get after being captured.”

He smiled back, “Yeah, but I’m the only one who’s allowed to do that”, he said.

She turned around in his arms and wrapped her arms around his neck. She leaned up and kissed him deeply.

He pulled her closer and deepened the kiss. He could never get enough of this girl.

They spent about another half hour in the pool and Angel got out, deciding to get a little sun, since Buffy told him he was as pale as a vampire. He sat in one of the lounge chairs, and Buffy smirked to herself, having an idea. About 10 minuets later, she looked at Angel again, seeing him pretty much completely dry now. She pulled himself out of the water and walked silently up to him. She stood in front of him and crawled on top of him.

Angel’s eyes snapped open, once he felt the water dripping on him. She had just came out of the pool without drying off and he was no longer dry. He looked up and glared playfully at her. All she did was smile innocently and he moved his hands to her stomach and started tickling her.

She started to laugh, “OK OK, I’m sorry”, she said while laughing.

“No your not”, he told her and tickled her a little more.

She squirmed slightly, trying to get out of his grasp.

“You’re not going anywhere”; he told her with a smirk and kept tickling her.

She finally grabbed his hands and glared at him playfully.

He leaned up and kissed her softly, while putting his hands on her hips.

She put one of her hands through his hair and the other on his shoulder, deepening it s a little.

He moved from her lips, and started on her neck.

She smiled happily, liking how today is going.

Out of nowhere, they both heard a rumble of thunder. Angel pulled away and looked up, noticing their warm, sunny day was now dark, cloudy and slightly cold. Buffy crawled off him, and stood up. He stood up as well and they both wrapped a towel around themselves. When the rain started, Angel grabbed her hand, leading her inside quickly. Once they were inside, they both changed and met in the living room.

“So, what are we supposed to do now?”, Angel asked, while looking down at her.

She shrugged, “I dunno”, she answered simply.

Just as Angel was going to comment on that, there was a crash of lightning, which made him jump slightly.

Buffy saw it clearly and started to laugh at him. “Scared ya?”, she asked with a smirk.

“Just wasn’t ready for it”, he answered, blushing slightly.

She noticed him blushing and thinks that he looks cute when he does leans up and gives him a sweet kiss.

After returning the kiss, he smiled, “Maybe I should blush more often if that’s what I get for it.”

She smiled back, “Maybe you should.”

They both sat down on the couch and decided on watching a movie. They looked to see what was on TV and saw that Hannibal was on. Xander had always said it was creepy, and what better day to watch it then this.

She held up the tv guide, showing him the movie.

He looked at it, “I’ve heard of it, but never saw it…it looks good”, he told her.

“Yeah, well, after Xander watched it, he was like glued to me on patrol for like a week”, she said with a smirk.

He chuckled and turned on the tv, to the channel the movie was coming on.

They curled up together on the couch and began watching the movie. Some parts grossed both of them out and it was turning out to be a good movie.

Almost 2 hours later, the movie ended and Buffy turned off the tv. She looked at Angel, “it was a good movie….but I woulda have been fine with missing the part where the guy eats his own brains.

H chuckled and looked at her, “Yeah, I don’t think many consider ‘brain’ something as a meal.

She chuckled, “Yeah, well I know what demon brain tastes like…..and I wish I didn’t.”

He looked at her, with a confused look on his face.

She chuckled at it, “A demon’s blood got on me and I could hear people’s thoughts….it was the antidote”, she told him.

“Oh….that’s….really gross and creepy that you could hear people’s thoughts” he told her and saw her hold back a chuckle. Angel glanced out the window, “it looks like its going to be an all nighter, and get pretty bad.

She glanced out the window, “good, I like it…the worse the better.”

He looked at her and chuckled, “You are so strange sometimes…but that’s why I love you”, he said with a smile and kissed her quickly.

She kissed him back quickly and smiled; “glad you think so.”

“So….what else is there to do?”, she asked.

He thought for a moment, “I’m not sure….but I’m sure there’s plenty of stuff to do as long as there’s pow….”, he began, but was interrupted by a large crash of lightning. The room went pitch black and he could feel Buffy giving him a ‘good going, you just jinxed us’ look. “..er..”, he continued and looked at her, “Sorry”.

She smiled a little and stood up, walking towards the kitchen, trying not to bump into anything.

“Where are you going?”, he asked curiously and tried to follow her.

She walked into the kitchen, opening a drawer and pulled out 2 flashlights, handing him one. “Getting light”, she told him.

“Good idea”, he stated.

They walked back into the living room and Buffy glanced outside.

Angel looked at her, “I don’t think it will be over for a long while”, he told her.

She looked up at him, “It’s a good thing in my book”, she told him with a smile.

He smiled back, “Yeah, it is good”, anything was good when he got to spend it with her.

“I’m going to go check the windows upstairs”, she told him.

“OK”, he answered and watched her walk upstairs. Once Buffy got upstairs, he heard her mumble loudly, “You suck you damn flashlight”. He chuckled and knew it had gone out, and had an idea. He quietly walked up the stairs and stood against the wall from Buffy’s old room. As soon as she walked out, he moved behind her, pulling her from the waist to his chest and growled. He felt her jump and heard her gasp and started to laugh.

She turned around knowing its Angel and smacks his upper arm, “Ugh….I hate you”, she told him.

He chuckled, “You can’t be the only one who has the fun”, he told her with another chuckle.

She shot him a playful glare and shoved him into her old room.

He landed on the bed and chuckled again slightly. He saw her walk in, grabbed her hand and pulled her onto the bed and pinned her. He grinned evilly and moves his hand up her shirt a little and began tickling her where she’s most ticklish.

She began to laugh, and after 5 minutes of him tickling her, he moved off of her and laid down next to her. She moved over a little, resting her head on his shoulder.

He put his hand on her stomach and kissed her head softly.

She began looking out the window and didn’t notice him watching her.

She thought for a moment and crawled off the bed. She stood up and looked down at him, “come on”, she told him.

He sat up and stood up, looking at her, “Where are we going?”, he asked.

She took his hand, leading him downstairs and turned on his flashlight for it to lead them downstairs carefully. “You’ll see”, she answered cryptically.

He nodded and followed. She had lead him to the door and walked outside on the porch and looked at her oddly.

She led him to the wicker couch that was on the porch and sat down. “I wanted to watch it outside for a little bit”, she told him.

He smiled; thinking how cute that was and wrapped his arms around her, “OK”.

She rested her head against his chest and they both sat there, watching it rain. “This is nice”; she said a few minuets later.

He nodded a little, “Yeah it is.”

“Did you like the rain when you were little?”, she asked.

“Yeah I did, my sister and I would play out in it till it got bad out. What did you do?”, he asked.

“When it rained I would always go sit out on the balcony in my room and watch it rain”, she told him.

He smiled to himself at the thought, “So what are we going to do after this?”, he asked.

She thought for a moment, “I dunno”.

He leaned down and kissed her quickly, “I’ll like anything, as long as I’m with you”, he said.

She smiled at that and kissed him back quickly.

They watched the rain fall for a few more a while and Angel looked down at her, ~~thankyou~~, he though. He was loving this day and didn’t want it to end. He felt the wind blow and looked at her again, seeing a few droplets on her face and softly wiped them away.

She smiled and kissed his cheek.

He smiled back, feeling the wind get worse, “We should go inside now….its getting pretty bad out here”, he told her.

She nodded, “Ok,” she said and stood up. She walked inside with him and back into the living room. She thought for a moment, remembering what he did to her upstairs and shoved him onto the couch and pinned him. “I never did get my revenge” she said with a smirk.

He chuckled, “I’m not afraid of you”, he teased her.

She began tickling him, hitting all of his ticklish spots.

Her began to laugh harder and tried to move out from under her.

She tickled him harder and he began to laugh more.

He couldn’t stop laughing and he tried to breathe. He began to squirm and he saw her smirk. She kept him pinned, “Ok ok I’m sorry….you made your point”, he told her while laughing.

She shook her head no, giving him no sympathy.

His eyes were beginning to water and he moved his hands up, starting to tickle her.

She laughed and moved off of him, trying to get away from him, knowing he’ll tickle her.

He stood up and moved towards her teasingly.

She moved back and into the dinning room, being able to see better then him in the dark.

He ran after her, not far behind.

She ran back into the living room and ran upstairs.

He follows her quickly and saw her run into her old room. He ran behind her and tackled her onto the bed.

She got tackled onto the bed and laughed. She looked up at him and saw him smirk and leaned up and kissed him softly.

He kissed her back, putting his hands on the side of his stomach. The soft kiss grew more passionate and Angel put his arm under her and pulled her closer to him.

She moved her hands to the side of his neck and his chest.

Moments later, their hands went to the other’s shirt, working to get them off. The rest of the day was spent in bed, which was a perfect end to their day.
