Liam looked down at Buffy
and brushed her long hair back towards her ear, tucking it in place.
She groaned loudly and slowly turned on her side.

Buffy opened her eyes and asked “Where are we?”

“My car.” Liam laughed softly and spoke again. “Sunnydale, California; 2009 and where were you?”

/ Funny that he asks where I was.\ Buffy thought for a sec. “The future? Wait don’t answer that. Um, I guess I came from the past. Europe, 2004 and my Sunnydale is a crater and recently at that.”

/See? Buffy doesn’t even realize that she has come home.
Do you see what happens when you…portal..oh no. Alright, I get it! Buffy really has come forward somehow. She has really just left Europe 2004 and to Sunnydale redone in 2009.
Now kids, have we learned why we don’t jump into portals yet? What a mess. Is cuma mo gra’. (It doesn’t matter my love.) You’re here now Muirnin (Beloved).\Liam thought to himself, slightly shocked but only slightly.

Buffy turned her face up at Liam and wanted to see if this “Angel” knew Gaelic.
So she tried a phrase that she used often after portal hopping.
“Ta mu isc orm, Liam” (”I feel sick, Liam.”)
Buffy listened to him as if his words could heal her, a balm to her soul was his voice.

“Ca ta ort, mo milis?”(”What is wrong with you, my sweet?”)

Buffy sighed and thought,/Did he just call me his sweet?…erm maybe that’s just a bit creepy.\
