"I wish we could be like regular kids. Just a regular kid and her 200-year-old, creature-of-the-night boyfriend."

The course of love in Sunnydale never runs smoothly, especially for Buffy Summers the Vampire Slayer and her boyfriend, Angel the vampire. They're going through the usual early stages of a romantic relationship -- dressing to impress, going on coffee dates, and saving the world.

When Buffy tries to be more like the girls from Angel's distant past, she succeeds a little too well -- becoming helpless in the face of real evil.

Career week at school finds Buffy questioning her future as the Slayer -- and all the relationship baggage that title comes with -- until an unexpected ally gives new insight into her calling. And when Angel is taken hostage by an old acquaintance with sinister plans, Buffy realizes she must draw on all her passion to save the one she loves.

Now, collected for the first time, are three stories from the hit-TV series chronicling Buffy and Angel's growing romantic relationship.
