I hated when Buffy & Angel broke up..I cried sooo much..it was sooo freaking obvious these two were meant to be..then they made them have relationships with other people..For a long time,seeing Buffy and Angel with anyone else makes my skin crawl.. 14 years since the show ended,I rewatched Buffy again and though it still bothers me,I began to understand..I started to see...the things they went through, the people they dated or liked(heck,there were some Spuffy moments I find cute),decisions they made no matter how questionable they are,whatever stage they're at and it all fell into place because of the cookie dough speech Buffy gave Angel.. Some ppl say that the Buffy/Angel story was long over and they hate that they keep on continuing that ship but here's the thing..It is never over between them and it will never be over..Joss has said that Buffy/Angel love story trancends everything..Sarah always believed that Angel will be the one for Buffy(and the hate she gets is ridiculous),David mirrors her thoughts and credits Buffy for giving Angel purpose and meaning and never understood Cordy/Angel(neither did I),James believes that Buffy is still very much in love with Angel even till the end of season 7,Julie said that although Darla and Angel were together a long time,Buffy will be the one he ends up with..The people who said this ship has sailed since it ended in Season 3..well..Buffy/Angel saga was never meant to end..it will always be a pivotal story in the Buffyverse.. The cookie dough speech made it so clear..At the end of everything,when she's done,when she figures out who she's going to be,when she's settled down,she sees Angel with her.. And to my fellow Bangel shippers(Sarah included!!),don't be disheartened..I know the comics are not in our favor..Buffy is with Spike and Angel with Nina but that's okay...they'll date other ppl,let other ppl have cookie dough,they'll fight the creatures of darkness,stop more apocalypses..doing whatever the hell they nd to do but when Buffy is ready,when she's done,Angel will be right there..waiting..smiling..and this time,it'll be forever..it better be after all Joss put us through!!..
