Oz nodded, seeing Willow was hard and having Buffy pull him aside so that he didn't have to think about it awhile helped. "How is Angel?" He asked her, knowing that both of them had it pretty rough in the romance department lately. Oz didn't know if Buffy was with Angel, or Riley or who, but he kinda hoped it was Angel. As... dysfunctional at their relationship can be, Oz knew that Angel was Buffy's version of Willow. Her first love, and that kind of love never died, only new loves developed around it and replaced it. But the love was still there.

Oz, like most, never fully trusted Angel. However, Oz... understood Angel better then the rest of them did. Angel, like Oz had this life handed to them. The life of an uncontrollable monster. So Oz couldn't blame him for the stuff that happened back in the day with the whole Hellmouth thing. No one ever blamed Oz for some of his actions when he wasn't himself. So Oz was a little more forgiving then most of them, so he wanted to see Buffy and Angel together more then anyone else she can be with because they belonged together.

Oz followed Buffy around the bottom floor, looking around saying which rooms were open and which ones weren't. Oz would probably find the quietest area to stay in, and figured that one of the rooms downstairs would be better then the rooms upstairs for that. "Oh, so he was wrong then." Oz said, he knew Angel probably felt a lot of guilt about killing his sister, which he did do still, but she was sort of turned. That may have been worse for Angel, or it may have been better, depending on how Kathy was doing. If she was living with a bunch of slayers, then she probably had a soul.

"How did Angel take that news?" Oz asked her a little bit more then just curious about it. She then led him upstairs and showed him where everyone was sleeping. Oz took note that a lot more people preferred to stay upstairs, so his guess that downstairs was quieter was only confirmed by Buffy. "Thanks, I think I will stay downstairs." Oz said, he preferred to be in quiet places to think. That would work out really well to cause he can be left alone for the time being until he met everyone and knew them all better. Then maybe he would move upstairs once he learned who everyone was.

She concluded the tour and Oz nodded. He was glad that he now had a sort of plan to follow. Oz'es life was just one big mystery since he and Willow broke up and he left town back then. He didn't know where he would live, what he would do, or who he would be with. But now, seemingly everything was falling back into place for him, and once he joined a band and maybe started seeing someone again, his life would be back on track. "Sure, so movie night huh." Oz said to her, well, there were worst ways to get back in the swing of things with your friends then that.

She sighed and nodded, figuring that she would answer his question as briefly as possible since it really wasn’t her story to tell. “Yeah, he was wrong. He thought that he had killed her yet Darla came in behind him and turned her, something about using her as leverage later which ended up not being necessary since I think we all remember what a ruthless bastard Angelus was…” She stated, cringing as she said it since she knew more than most what he was capable of. Not many people knew about Angelus’ resurface a few months back and she didn’t intend on broadcasting it either.

“He was surprised, but what surprised him more was how much she hadn’t changed from the young girl he knew as a human to the vampire she is now. For some reason being turned so young she was able to keep her soul, though we really haven’t looked into how fully. All he knows is that she woke up and while she has a demon inside her, just like the rest of the vampires out there, she still is the same little girl that he looked after when he was human.” She told him, a fond smile playing on her lips.

“It’s actually pretty funny to see them together. He’s so over protective. Kathy sees him as her father and it’s adorable because while he tries to stay all ‘Angel like’ he’s like a doting father yet over protective at the same time.” She rambled before rolling her eyes at herself. “And I really need to get a life apparently.” She replied before nodding at his statement about sleeping downstairs. “I figured you’d be more comfortable downstairs but I figured I had to give you the opportunity to sleep with us crazy people upstairs. Also as much as I don’t want to ask, what are you doing for full moons? I know when you came back a few years ago you had it mostly under control but are you still working on it or are you locking yourself up?” She asked, her face apologetic at bringing it up but she had to think about the safety of everyone rather than just one.

“Yes, movie night…Harry Potter movie night apparently.” She told him with a laugh, sliding her arm in his and moving towards the living room where they stopped and she let go, pushing him slightly forward to go stand by Willow. “Alright, now that Oz knows where all of the exits are, emergency and otherwise, let’s get this evening started. Please tell me you guys ordered food and if so that you ordered me lots of sweet and sour chicken?” She asked, plopping down on the couch and reaching for the bowl of popcorn that was on the table, throwing a hand full into her mouth and chewing it quickly before taking a swig of her Pepsi which had been abandoned earlier in the evening. “I am starving and having a serious craving for it.” She asked, her eyes pleading with her best friends.

Xander couldn't but feel like he was at home, like this was Sunnydale and they were all at Buffy's house enjoying themselves with this sleepover. The only difference was that Harry Potter wasn't out yet, well the books were but not the movies. He was happy to have not only two of his best friends here with him tonight but his other one. He had missed Oz greatly and it sucked being the only guy in the group of friends but he was used to it and okay with it. Oz being back in town just put everything back into formation it was truly like the whole gang was here, even Cordelia was back and as much as she annoyed him he was happy about it.

"Well, roosters have balls I think?" He said with a chuckle. This was great! He was enjoying himself, he felt like a teenager again doing this he wondered if the others felt the same. The only difference between now and then was the fact that Willow and Oz weren't dating and of course Cordelia and Xander weren't, but Buffy's relationship with Angel was complicated same as usual. Xander actually wondered when Angel would be coming back, he wanted to talk to the vampire they hadn't really talked since they had that serious conversation with each other. They were basically buddies now and they would have a lot of fun goofing around if the vampire knew how to have fun...

"Wow, this is just making me excited now! I like surprises," he told the girl. He wondered who Lenore looked like, he wanted to ask but he figured Willow wouldn't tell him as she wanted him and Buffy to be surprised when they saw her. It could be anyone though, hopefully she didn't look like Kennedy that would be annoying as he hated that girl. She was so bossy and she tried to control things and tower over Buffy. He was glad she was dead even though that sounded mean but she was a bitch after all who did kidnap Dawnie. He had never liked her but he didn't want to think about her anymore as he wondered who else it could be, he tried to remember back to high school if there were any girls but he was coming a blank as Willow wasn't going for girls back then.

The two hugged and Xander held her tight. "It's okay Will, I understand just know I'm one-hundred percent behind ya," he told her as he ended the hug. He felt bad for her, the girl shouldn't be in a love triangle at all because then someone would get hurt and he didn't want that to be either of his best friends but he already knew that Oz and her wouldn't get back together so he had hoped that Oz would find an amazing girl as he deserved someone. Soon enough Buffy and Oz had come back into the room and Xander sat down with the girl feeling a bit relaxed. "We decided to order pizza instead," he told the girl. "I kid, we ordered your sweet and sour chicken...they better get here fast we need to start this movie," he said trying to reach for it but couldn't. "Will," he said in a whiny voice. "Can you get the remote," he said as he took a sip of his own beverage which was 7up.

This all did feel so much like they were back home again, like they were back in Buffy’s house in Sunnydale. It was a feeling that Willow missed so much and wanted nothing but to have back, and all it took was Oz here to feel all that again. That’s why all this was so hard for her, not being with him because she was feeling the feelings she had missed and longed for. She had wanted this feeling for so long, and now that she had it back she didn’t want to lose it again. She couldn’t lose it again which is why she hopes that when he meets Lenore all goes well, because she cant have them avoiding each other forever. Even though she was going to try, at lest for now they didn’t need to meet right with him back. She needed to give him a bit of a breather and get use to it all. Not like the last time with Tara which didn’t go well, him truing into a wolf and all.

“Oh don’t worry you will be in for one heck of a surprise that’s for sure.“ She said with a bit of a laugh. Well that was one thing for sure Xander was going to get, he would be more then surprised when he met Lenore. Shocked was more like it, he was going to feel like he was seeing a ghost again when he saw her. Lenore really was a splitting image of Tara, if Willow didn’t tell anyone they would swear that it was her with Darker hair. Willow at first thought it was her to, if she wasn’t a witch she would have though it was. But she knew better then that, Tara gave off a powerful force that a witch couldn’t help but feel. Which with Lenore Willow could feel that she was in fact a vampire, kind of hard to miss.

“I know you are Xander, thanks it means a lot that you are here for me, I feel so confuted right now.“ She said while in his hug. It felt so good being in Xanders arms, she felt safe like nothing could go wrong or harm her. He has always been there and been such a good friend to her, they had been through so much. He really was the one that knew her best, which was why she asked him for help whenever she was confused. Nine times out of ten he had the answers to help her.

Not long after that Buffy and Oz had came back to them, Willow was happy that she had calmed a bit before they got back. She really didn’t want Oz to see her upset like this. Tonight was going to be a night of fun with Friends hanging out. Willow had sat down next to her BFF handing him the remote. “Here you go.” She said while giving it to him. She then turned to Buffy and Oz. “So how did checking out the house go? You like it? Pretty nifty huh, Buffy has good taste ”

Seeing everyone again made Oz feel really good, it was like a part of him was missing for so long. Oz should never have left in his opinion, now looking back, and hindsight being 20/20, he can say that. But back then, back then it seemed like the right thing to do. He followed Buffy around, it was quite a big house and he wondered who all stayed here. He knew Xander, Willow Kathy and Buffy for sure. He guessed Angel and Faith did as well, but he wasn't sure.

"I see." Oz said to her. That sounds like something Darla would do. Oz was for some reason thankful that she never got the chance, or never needed to anyways use Kathy against Angel. That would of be horrible for Angel to go through. He felt bad for Kathy, like Oz, Kathy had no choice in what she became. Buffy continued the story of how Angel and Kathy had met, and how Kathy was and how Angel reacted to seeing her again. Oz nodded at Buffy. It made sense to him, maybe just cause a lot of stuff made sense to him that didn't to everyone else.

"That's good." Oz replied to Buffy. He was glad that she was still a normal little girl. He wondered what it would be like to be 12, 13 years old forever. That's not a great age for many people and he couldn't imagine what it would be like to be that young forever. "It would of destroyed Angel if she changed." Oz said more to himself then to Buffy. So, it was really a good thing for Angel, as he got some closure on it. He got to see his little sister again, even though she was a vampire as well, but she didn't change who she was, and thats a good thing to Oz.

"I can see that in Angel." He replied, truth was he knew just how protective Angel could be, he had seen it with Buffy before. So it wasn't shocking that Angel would be so protective of Kathy, It made perfect sense to Oz. "What about you?" Oz asked her, he wanted to know how she felt about Kathy. "You don't have to worry, I won't go all monster on you." Oz told her with a grin. Yeah he still changed, but it wasn't cause of the full moon, it was cause of his emotions, which was probably why he was a little more detached then he use to be.

Thank god good emotions didn't turn him, or he would of turned a long time ago tonight. He nodded and accompanied her back upstairs to the living room to catch up with the others and have Harry Potter movie night. Truth was Oz never saw those movies, but he knew of them, so it would be all new to him, and that wasn't a bad thing. Buffy pushed Oz a little to stand by Willow. Oz appreciated Buffy trying whatever she tried to do, but it was truly over between him and Willow, he came to that realization a long time ago and it was only fortified tonight.

Willow grabbed the remote for Xander and he nodded in agreement. "I can use some food right about now too." He stated simply wondering if they got him anything, but they were really thoughtful, so they probably did. He sat down in the empty space of the couch, feeling at home for the first time in a long time.

She smiled fondly at Oz’s question about Kathy and looked down, almost embarrassed. "No matter what, had she been soulless or not I would have cared for her if for no other reason that she was a part of Angel...however she makes it impossible not to love her. She’s full of energy and in some ways so much more of an adult than most of the actual adults I know…and yet at the same time she’s years younger than her eleven physical years. It’s weird but she plays all the parts so well that when you need her to be a little girl so that you can protect her, that’s what she is. Yet when she needs to take care of herself…that’s what she does. It’s difficult to describe but I love her, she’s like my sister and my daughter rolled up into one.” She told him softly before snickering at the comment about him not turning into a monster. “Hey as long as you’ve got your flea collar I’m good.” She shot him a wink before making her way out into the living room.

She shot a mock glare at her male best friend when he stated that they owed pizza. "Have you met me? I do not want pizza, I want lots of calories...I.E. Chinese food!" She stated, winking at the others to let them know she was kidding. She knew damn well most people hated her because she was so thin and could for the most part out eat anyone. It wasn't because she had great metabolism though because if she wasn't a slayer she'd be 500 pounds by now...however because of the amount of activity she did she was able to keep the weight off. Actually it got to a point where it became difficult for her to keep the weight on after she had come back from heaven and it had taken her a year to get back to a healthy weight instead of being too skinny as she had been.

She rolled her eyes at the lazy boy known as Xander and reached over to smack him upside the head gently. "Lazy lazy boy." She told him before leaning down and patting his stomach. "You need to hit the gym mr...especially if the remote is too far for you to get it." She snickered and dodged his playful swipe, giggling like a young teenager instead of the twenty three year old she currently was. She was having more fun tonight than she had had in years and it felt more than good to be able to relax with her closest friends…even Oz who while she hadn’t seen him in years she still considered one of her closest friends.

She laughed at Willow’s praise and rolled her eyes. “It had nothing to do with style, it had to do with location and how big this friggin house was. Don’t get me wrong, I love it and I’m glad that we own it and such but half of it was already decorated. We did a little redecorating a few months back but other than that everything came as it is.” She stated, not letting on to the fact that the reason they had redecorated at all was because Angelus had made a mess of the upstairs hallway and several of the rooms when he had murdered five potential slayers. She knew it was terrible not to acknowledge it but she didn’t want to start a fight at the current moment and she knew that anything involving Angelus would lead to a fight.

“Trust me Oz, I’m sure with Xander here there will be enough food for an army, or a group of hungry twenty year olds…which could constitute the same thing.” She stated with a snicker before motioning to Xander. “Alright, are we watching the first one?” She asked curiously.

"Well, shucks Will can't wait," he said excitedly. "She better be treating you right since she's taking my Willster away from me," he said with a playful frown. He knew what it was like to be in a relationship and avoid his friends. Everyone had done it at some point well in high school anyway. Buffy with Angel and Xander with Cordelia then Willow with Oz, they were all occupied with their relationships trying to make it work. It was hard to maintain a relationship so Xander had no clue how Buffy did it with Angel considering he was a dead guy who didn't age so life must have been complicated oh yeah a dead guy who had a soul that could go at any moment, man Angel's life definitely sucked.

He felt bad for Willow, she didn't deserve some love triangle. She still had feelings for Oz, it was a given she just had to figure out who she had stronger feelings for, Xander was of course rooting for Oz. "Anytime, and you'll figure it out Will you always do. Besides, you are the smart one," he said trying to lighten up the atmosphere as the red-head did deserve to be happy. She could still have Oz in her life, it seemed like he was slowly moving on which was a good thing. Xander actually wondered if Oz knew about Tara's death, there could be a possibility but Xander wasn't going to say anything about it right now, maybe when they were alone...still Willow wasn't single.

Xander chuckled at Buffy with her wanting a bunch of calories in her, it was just so funny to him because the girl never gained weight. "One question Buff, where does it all go?" He asked the girl curiously. He knew she obviously couldn't answer that but the only answer would be her working it off which made sense since she patrolled basically every night. Xander was excited for this food, the good thing about being a watcher was that he kept the weight off when he had a lot of food since he was always training people, imagine him in a normal life, he would have been obese by now, the boy did love his food but it seemed as if Buffy loved her food more.

"Hey!" He said as he rubbed his head and chuckled as she she patted his stomach. He tried expanding it a little bit as she did. He then tried hitting her but of course the girl dodged somehow, well she was the slayer she could dodge anything. "I need a motivational song though...maybe 'Eye of the Tiger' that seems like the best fit," he told the girl. "Hey, at least I'm ready for Winter I can be Santa Claus for Kathy," he said with a laugh. "Ho, ho, ho," he said trying to use his best Santa impression, he wasn't sure how he was doing but he thought he was doing just fine. God, this was a lot of fun and he was grateful to have friends like them in his life.

"Buff...have you seen how you eat? It's not only me here! Together. We. Are. Unstoppable," he said in a martial art comic voice. "Yep," he turned on the dvd with the remote and got out of his spot to put the disk in and once he was done he sat back at his spot and waited for the menu. "Who's ready for some Potter?!" He said excitedly as he pressed play. "I love when he talks to that snake but god his uncle I hate so much seems like he needs to lay off the crumpets...," why was he talking over the movie? But whatever, he had to get his opinion in.

“Don’t worry Xander she is treating me like a queen.“ She said with a smile. She loved how much Xander cared, worried that she was happy. Which she was Willow just felt so lost and confused right now. Worried if she was making the right choice or not, it was so hard now that she was feeling all these feelings. But then again maybe it was just because she was still in shock to see Oz after all this time, because a few days ago Willow was fine happy with the girl of her dreams. But now all the sudden she was confused not knowing what was the right choice to make or what she should do.

“Thanks Xander its sweet that you think that but right now I’m not so sure” Said the witch letting out a sigh. Willow was maybe smart but it didn’t mean she was going to get this all figured out, her head felt so confused Not knowing what the right choice was. She could smack herself for getting herself into this . But Sadly it wasn’t the first time that Willow had her heart in love with two people. She did the same thing once before when dating Oz with Xander none the less. That whole thing was a mess when all it did was hurt people and Willow couldn’t do that again. The last thing she wanted to do was hurt Lenore, so Willow was just going to have to pull her heart together some how. She just hoped that Oz found a love to get over there hurt.

She was happy that everyone was back joining them, now they could get this fun night going. Willow would worry about her feelings a bit later and worry more about fun with her friends. Willow heard Oz say something about food, worried if she got him anything. “Don’t worry Oz I remembered what you liked and ordered your favorite.” She said with a smile. Willow still knew what he liked to get after all this time, nothing really had changed knowing about what he liked. “Did you really think I would let you go hungry now.”

Willow couldn’t help but laugh noticing Xander pretending to be Santa Claus, doing the best Ho Ho Ho that he could. “Xander I don’t think you need to do that and go that far, as cute as that may be I don’t know if Kathy believes in Santa.” She said with a giggle turning to the Slayer. “She doesn’t does she Buffy?” Kathy may look like the cutest and most harmless vampire around, but it didn’t change the fact that she was about as old as Angel was. So for her age she was really smart.

Willow got ready for the movie watching some Harry Potter, everyone in the house really had grown to love these movies. Even if the took magic a little over the top, it didn’t change the fact that they were great movies. “I’m ready for Harry Potter! And yeah I agree with you Xander he does. I hate how mean the Aunt and Uncle are to him, if they put me under the stairs like that I would have turned them in to a toad in no time.”

"That's good Buffy. I'm glad she means so much to you." Oz told Buffy. Though he wanted to say that if he had to he would protect Kathy with his life since she meant so much to Buffy and Angel. He knew he didn't have to say it, as they probably had it well in hand. A vampire and a slayer watching over you made you possibly the safest person on the planet. So they didn't need his help, but it would be the thought that counts in this case. It kinda went without saying anyways, the whole group looked out for each other. Didn't matter if you were a witch, a slayer, a vampire or a werewolf.

"I don't have fleas." Oz told her and then pretended to scratch behind his ear to play along with her joke, showing her that he knew she meant it as a joke. Oz wasn't normally that playful, but for some reason, tonight anyways, he felt like it. Being with his friends again was bringing out the best in him. Now back in the living room he could tell everyone was in a playful mood anyways, so now he didn't have to feel so bad about playing along with everyone else. It really was like one big happy family, only none of them were related, but still.

There was one good thing about Oz'es self imposed exile. He learned how to lighten up a bit more. He had to or he would of lost his sanity not talking to anyone over the last few years being all by himself. Xander asked if they were ready for some Potter. Oz nodded his head in response and turned to Willow, maybe it was instinct to turn to Willow, but she was always his go to person when he needed to confess something. "I have never seen them." He told her quietly, feeling a little bit guilty about it and ashamed.

"Thanks Willow." Oz said to her when she said that she ordered what he liked. Willow was always thoughtful like that. He didn't expect them to order him anything, after all he just showed up with no warning, but it felt good that they still cared enough about him to order food for him and offer him a place to stay. Oz didn't know why, but he wasn't expecting all of this. Not that he thought his friends would turn him away and not want to talk to him, but because he just thought it had been so long, and that it would take time for them to click together again. But that wasn't the case, it felt like he was more of a missing puzzle piece that they were so glad to finally find and he fit in perfectly in the spot he belonged in.

"Leave the man alone. He is a growing boy." Oz stated sipping on the soda that no one had claimed as their own yet. So he figured it was ok to drink it. He shrugged, he had more to say then just that, but he drew it out awhile and quietly said to Willow under his breath. "Growing around the middle." Oz said basically taking the line Hagrid just said to Dudley about being farther along then he would of thought especially around the middle. What can Oz say, being around everyone when they were joking around made him want too as well. That wasn't a bad thing.

"So why does his aunt and uncle keep him under the stairs?" Oz asks Willow quietly. He had never seen the movies and the movies didn't explain why they mistreated him so badly. Oz felt bad for Harry and he was glad Hagrid came to save him from his horrible life.

Rolling her eyes she pushed Oz gently when he mentioned fleas when they walked into the room before getting involved in conversation with the other two as well as Oz.

She snickered at the question about where did all of her food go. “You know I really don’t know.” She answered honestly with a hint of amusement still twinkling in her hazel eyes. “Probably converts into the endless amount of energy that I seem to need between slaying, counseling and dealing with you crazy people.” She stated, motioning to her friends around her. She knew that Oz had just recently come back (and by recently she meant within the past few hours) however it already felt as if he had never left. Oz had always been a person that she liked and personally she had always wished that he and Willow would have gotten back together when he came back the last time. Either way she enjoyed his company and she was glad to have him back.

Laughter lit up the room as everyone laughed at Xander's Santa Claus impersonation. "I have a feeling that if you tried that with Kathy that she might bite you." She told him with a hint of seriousness. "There are days she wants to be a little kid and days when she pretends that she's a teenager with an attitude to back it up. So I would probably nix the Santa Claus idea." She told him before grinning. “However I would love to see you dressed up like that for Halloween…would be amusing to say the least.” She could picture it now, Xander with a pillow under the Santa Claus costume walking around on Halloween…he’d probably be the scariest one. “Then again, I really don’t want you turning into Santa Claus…unless you would get the ability to give people the gifts they want and in that case we should probably really make sure we get you a Santa costume as that would save all of us a lot of money.” She snickered.

She plopped on the large chair across the room allowing Oz and Willow to have the other side of the couch with Xander. She knew that he and Willow weren't together so he figured that she'd give them more room rather than have all four of them on the couch together. Plus she knew that had Willow or Oz sat in the chair it would be awkward. She on the other hand was larger than life for the most part and could easily be just as comfortable anywhere while still being a part of the group.

“Just letting everyone know now, if anyone ever tried to make me stay in a cupboard underneath the stairs they’d get punched.” She stated randomly. “I love his Hedwig. I actually remember reading this book when it first came out and asking my mom if I could get an owl for my birthday. She must have told me ‘no’ a hundred and fifty times and I just kept begging her. She then forced me to go to the zoo with her and listen to this man speak about how owls were not able to be trained and THEN she made me watch the creation of this movie where they showed that all the actors had to wear gloves that they CGed off in production to protect themselves from their talons. It really made me sad. So for my birthday she ended up buying me a Hedwig stuffed animal…I still have it in storage somewhere.” She stated, finishing her ramble before shaking her head. “I also really wanted to ride the Hogwarts Express…Speaking of which…when we go to Orlando for vacation, we HAVE to go to the Harry Potter Theme Park! Just saying and yes Oz we are dragging you with us.”

Xander was happy to hear that Lenore was being good to Willow, that was all Xander wanted, his best friends who were more like sisters now to be happy. He remembered how immature he was back in high school and how he wanted them to himself but growing up he realized that he should wish them the best even if they do become distant. They had found that closeness recently but still Xander wanted the girls to do what they they needed to do even if it meant not hanging out with him a lot. Xander just hoped that Buffy and Angel would finally be able to be together and if Lenore was the girl for Willow then he wanted Willow and Lenore to make it work even if he did want Oz and Willow together again, but it wasn't his decision so he would support Willow with whatever.

"Well, just know you have me Will and of course Buff," he said with a smile. He wanted her to know that he was there for her no matter what. He was there for her when she had gone evil and everyone had given up, he didn't give up though, he wasn't going to give up one someone he loved and knew since kindergarten, that wasn't happening. That was Xander's proudest moment, when he got through to her, he got hurt but it didn't matter he got his best friend back the one that had been through so much with him. He still couldn't believe how far the trio had gotten with being involved in the supernatural, he really did love the girls and thankful that they were in his life.

"Or...you're on drugs come on Buff let me in on your secret juice," he said nudging the girl. "Did that sound wrong to anyone or just me?" He asked the group of friends with a little chuckle. How did this feel so normal? This was probably the most fun Xander had in years which was weird but maybe it was because nothing to serious had happened and they could all just get along and hangout. It felt good to be with the classic friends. He wasn't thinking selfishly or anything but if there were other people then it wouldn't really make the night what it was like right now, these were the original friends and that made Xander all the more happy, the only person missing was Cordelia but then again none of them were that close with her right now.

"Breaking the tradition of Halloween," he thought for a moment. "Me like," he said with a nod and a grin on his face. "Yeah you see Oz knows I'm a growing boy well man!" He said all proudly he then heard Oz tell Willow in the middle. "I heard that! I have abs of steel," he said still joking. He wasn't hurt by any of this, they were all having a good time and telling jokes this was what a friendship was about. He was so happy to have this night, it was important and they were all letting loose and weren't talking about any problems about the supernatural but they could talk about the problems of normal life if anything.

Xander chuckled at both of the girls who imagined themselves being under the stairs like Harry. The girls were just hilarious. "The witch threatening to turn them into a toad and the slayer threatening to punch them coincidence?" He said with a laugh. "We should find your hedwig after!" He said very excitedly, he didn't know why he was getting excited over a stuffed animal but he just was. "Yes! Oz the man needs to come because I need a bud being the only male in the group I think it may question my masculinity Oz you need to come and have fun on the epic roller coasters," he said looking at Oz with a grin.

[Willow Danielle Rosenberg]

She was so happy to have all the people that matter most to her here, Xander was right she did have great friends here for her. Willow was having so much fun to the point she didn’t want this night to end. She couldn’t help but giggle when he said something about fleas, she loved it when Oz played around with everyone that told her right there that he was having a good time. It made the witch smiled knowing that he was, a part of her was so worried that he wasn’t going to have a good time seeing with there past in all. It really made her happy that they were able to have a good time and look past everything, she just hoped that when he met Lenore things would still be ok. She was so nervous to how that is going to turn out.

She still had that image in her head of Xander being Santa Claus, Willow couldn’t help but laugh. She then giggled even more when Buffy said that Kathy might bite him, which really wasn’t that funny seeing that she was right. Knowing little Kathy she would bite him, so might be best for him not even to dress up at all. She would be good just getting lots of gifts, he can just scrap the suit all together. “Yeah Xander Buffy’s right lets not do the whole suit thing.” Said the witch. Buffy made a great point It might be crazy scary for him turning into him, they all ready had to deal with a crazy Military man. But it didn’t come in handy more then once, especially when they all needed to take on the Judge. The Rocket launcher they got for them was a great help.

Willow had a looked at Oz clueless to why they would ever do that to a child, it was mean and cruel. “I think they did it because they were sacred of what he could really do to them, they just tried so hard to make it to where attention would be drawn to him. It really is sad what people do to people that don’t understand. Kind of like when my mother tied me up and tired to burn me.” The witch said with discussed look on her face. “Sorry I just cant get over that just yet.” She loved Buffy’s response to being locked up, and for wanting her own Hedwig. Funny thing is she could see Joyce over and over telling her no about it. “Well notes to self don’t ever lock you up and I know now what to get you for Christmas.” She then looked to Xander. “Santa Xander get right on getting that for her will you.”

Willow couldn’t wait for this trip that they kept talking about, she even got more excited when she said Harry potter theme park. “Wait a minute they have a Harry Potter park? We so have to go! And yes Oz Buffy is right we are dragging you so get over it.” The witch said with a smile. “ I Want to see all the shops that they have even the candy shops, just please keep the Chocolate Frogs away from me guys.”

"I will take that as a compliment Buffy." Oz stated when she called them all crazy. Of all the people that were around him right now, Buffy probably got his personality the best, and she was always nice to him. Even when she found out he was a werewolf, she didn't want to kill him as she knew him and knew that he wasn't like that normally and that he had no choice in the manner. In many respects, other then Angel, Oz was one of the first supernatural beings she trusted, so it was probably at least partially because of him she was more accepting of other things.

"If you turn into Santa, Xander, can I have a Red Rider BB Gun?" Oz asked with a smile. He really was enjoying himself tonight and being with his friends made him happier then he had been in years. He just shrugged at Xander's comment about having abs of steel, Xander knew they were just playing, and he knew Xander didn't mind it, Xander never minded such things in the past at least. He pictured Xander in a Santa Claus outfit passing out candy canes on halloween and couldn't help but smile. "Maybe Willow and Buffy can be your elfs." Oz said suddenly.

Which if that was the case then that would make Oz into Rudolph by default, so it was probably a bad idea on his part, but he wanted to see Willow and Buffy's reactions. Oz didn't know Kathy well enough, in fact not at all, so he did not know what she would and would not do. It was a little unsettling to be in a house with another vampire that he did not know. It would be one thing living with Angel, someone he did know, but not someone he didn't know. Not to mention all the slayers in the house. Not all of them would accept Oz for what he is.

He knew Buffy didn't mind, and probably Faith would be there for him, if she cared enough to lift a finger, which Oz didn't know if she did or not, but the others. He knew there was at least 1 other slayer in the house. So right now, Oz felt good about being here, but that was cause he was with the people he knew and cared about, but when it came to the people he didn't know, it kind of freaked him out to think about as he didn't know how they would react to a werewolf being in the house. As long as Kathy didn't want rides, he guessed she wouldn't cause him any problems.

Oz was use to getting locked up by now. But he knew where Buffy and Willow were coming from. He actually really hated Harry's aunt and uncle and cousin right now. People who treated people like that cause they were different rubbed Oz the wrong way. "That's stupid." He replied to Willow when she explained why the Dursley's did that to Harry. He also understood why she was upset right now and he placed his hand on her, holds it softly for a few moments to tell her that he understood how she felt and didn't want her to be upset over her parents anymore.

"You might want to buy me a leash then." Oz commented when they told him they were dragging him to the Harry Potter theme park. It was of course a joke that pointed out him being a werewolf and he wondered if they would get the humor behind his joke. "It sounds like fun. Just make sure you don't forget my flea and tick medication." Oz said, he had been working really hard to be more of a fun guy recently, and declining the offer to go on this trip would not help his case any, so he might as well tag along.

She couldn’t help it…she had taken a drink of her soda right before Xander made the comment about secret juice and unfortunately because of that she had two options. She could laugh and spray it out over everything in front of her or she could swallow it while laughing and it hurt like hell. Unfortunately she had taken the latter option and groaned while still laughing. “Damnit that hurt.” She grumbled, holding her head even though realistically she knew that there was nothing she could do about the pain until it subsided. “Next time you decide to make a funny comment at least make sure I’m not drinking anything first.” She whined.

Finally the pain from the carbonation having gone up her nose subsided and she turned to her best friend, figuring she would answer his question rather than ignore it. “Do you not remember Buffy’s fun beer fest when she went 1 million years B.C.? If I was on drugs, trust me you’d know it.” She told him with a snicker, though her face was still a bit pinched since the pain was still in her recent memory and she didn’t want to take the chance of it happening again. “And no, it didn’t just sound wrong to you.” She told him, motioning to the other two as well as herself. “I think it sounded wrong to everyone.” She giggled.

She groaned at the thought of roller coasters. Granted she did like them every once in awhile but after having more than one bad experience in Los Angeles she usually tended to avoid them. She hadn’t mentioned it to anyone but ever since the whole ‘Glory tower thing’ she had been a little squigged out by heights. Not that it would stop her from doing her duty but if she could avoid them she would…though it didn’t look like she was going to be able to avoid them in Disney World. Luckily Xander’s idea of Oz going and giving him some much needed ‘man time’ seemed to be the perfect solution and she nodded her head excitedly. “Yes, please take him off our hands.” She told Oz with a wink.

“As for people questioning your masculinity Xan, I don’t think anyone can do that anymore. I’ve seen you kick some vampire, demon and bringer ass…no one should be questioning anything and if I have to give you a masculinity reference I will…and yes that really did just come out of my mouth.” She stated with a groan, letting her head fall into her hands as she realized exactly how wrong that had sounded.

She moved her head out of her hands when Willow begged for her to keep the chocolate frogs away from her. She opened her mouth to say there was no way she was not eating some but then she remembered that Willow was afraid of frogs. “Okay, we’ll try…however AJ went last year and he said that they were all over the place so we’ll try our best but I can’t make any promises.” She told her, remembering AJ talking constantly about how he was glad he was a vampire as he had eaten his weight in chocolate frogs.

“According to what AJ told me about the park they have a couple rides, they have the Three Broomsticks, The Hogs Head, Zonkos, Honeydukes, Ollivander’s Wands shop and before anyone says anything YES I will be buying a wand as how can I not if we are going to the Harry Potter park and no one better say a damn word about it.” She stated, giving each of them a stern glare before continuing on. “I think they have a few other places too but I can’t remember them.” She stated before her eyes lit up and she ran upstairs, remembering she had bought something awhile ago that Oz would find highly amusing. She quickly made her way back downstairs and threw the Harry Potter leash and collar at Oz, letting it hand in his lap. “I bought that a few months ago as a joke for Kathy but I forgot to give it to her.” She stated with a snicker.

Xander started dying of laughter from Buffy drinking her soda and almost spitting it out, if he could roll on the ground and laugh he would, but he wasn't going to stand up and get down on the ground and start doing it, that would just be weird. Once he calmed down from his laughter he spoke, "Next time I'll warn ya," he said with another laugh but it wasn't as bad as the first one. The man was extremely happy, he was going to be going on a date with a really pretty good and he was having a blast with his best friends and watching Harry Potter, could life get any better? He truly was in a good place right now and it was all thanks to them agreeing to this little sleepover. And now Oz was here which was even better, he didn't know how much he had missed his friend until he had came back which was a major relief, Xander wondered how the man had found them.

"This is true," he said to the blonde girl. "You being a cavewoman...you were dumber than me which was weird," he said with a shake of his head. "Buffy, want beer," he said chuckling a bit. Now that he thought about it, that was really funny how she got turned into a cavewoman, he just didn't think it would happen to her since she was Buffy and then that happened. It probably wouldn't have if that stupid asshole didn't do a one night stand with Buffy basically, Xander seriously wanted to hit him, if he could right now he would because he was still mad about that whole situation. The girl was just opening up again since her last relationship the guy left, freaking Parker being a douche, Xander was glad Buffy was trying with Angel again.

"You can have a BB gun but only if you're on the nice list," he told him with a grin. He loved this joke, it would forever be their inside joke and no one would know why they kept calling Xander Santa which would make Xander die of laughter. "I still can't believe Hansel and Gretel are real Will now that's weird," he said wondering what other myths could be true. "Guys, guys! Making all these demands! I haven't even gotten Rudolph out of the closet yet!" He said to his friends using his hands to be dramatic. It felt good to joke around and not be so serious, this was the best night for the man. "Willow and Buffy as small elves...now that would be somethin' wouldn't it?" He said with a laugh. He was seriously considering being Santa Claus for Halloween, he thought it would be hilarious since no one would see it coming besides his friends of course.

"Hey! I'm right with ya Buff! I want a wand! I think I'd be in Gryffindor," he told the woman. He then took the remote and stood up on the couch, "Wingardium Leviosa!" He said waving the remote like it was a wand and putting on a serious face. He then flopped down on the couch laughing a bit and set the remote down, oh yeah this trip was definitely going to be a fun time. "What about the food places?" He asked the woman, he then heard the doorbell and raced to the door to open it and he gave the man money and received the Chinese food and chopsticks, he then went back walking quickly and set it down. "Le dinner is served," he said trying to put on a french accent even though it was Chinese food. But he was having fun and that was all that mattered. He got a chopstick and opened the chicken balls container. "Now, this is the life, chicken balls and noodles with Buff's tasty sweet chicken," he said stuffing a chicken ball in his mouth with joy.
