-------------------------------------
GRADUATION DAY - ANGELIt was time to do this, Angel knew that now. He didn't want to but he had to. He sighed, packing his things into his duffel back before he suddenly stopped, in his hands holding a picture he thought he had destroyed when he was Angelus. He traced his finger along the picture before putting it back in his bag.
He closed the duffel made sure he had everything and opened the door of the mansion. He sighed, looking back before walking to his car and he got in, resting his hands on the wheel. He looked at the bag that was sitting next to him and shook his head, driving away from the town that would hold his dead heart forever.
Is this masquerade finally over
Can we put down the roles that we've played so many times
Is this really the final curtain
The end of the play
Or will we just dance this dance we've danced again and again and again
GRADUATION DAY – BUFFY
She sighed, resting her tired head against the cool windowpane and she stared out into the night. Her mother wasn't due back yet until tomorrow, which made Buffy glad since she didn't want to deal with her mom right now.
Her radio blurred and she reached over, switching it off and she went back to her staring. Her heart was broken into two pieces she knew she could never collect and put together. She felt her heart give a slight tug and she knew then, her heart was being carried away from this town and into parts unknown, by a man who would someday come back to her.
Someday.
Once again I walk away
There's no turning back this time baby
Once again I walk away
With every step I leave you behind me
Once again I walk away
Determined this time you'll be sorry
Once again I walk away
But if you ask me you know that I'd stay
Buffy laid her head against the seat of the yellow school bus that Giles was now driving towards Los Angeles. For many reasons, but the only important reason was to get Robin to a hospital. Thanks to Faith and Willow, the bleeding had stopped but he still needed more medical attention.
Minutes passed and so had the hours when they finally reached L.A. Buffy felt that familiar twinge that she always had when Angel was near. She didn't want to see him right now, she couldn't not after confessing her love for Spike. "Dawn," she whispered quietly to her sister who sat behind her.
"Yeah?" Dawn whispered back to her sister, sitting up. "Tell everyone I'll be back soon, don't worry I know where the Hyperion is. Just make up a reason for me okay?" Buffy asked of her sister, once the Bus had stop just outside the old hotel.
Dawn nodded and Buffy waited until everyone got off. She grabbed her bloody coat and walked off into the city.
She had an old friend to see.
If we put out the sun and stopped it from shining
Girl we both know
We still couldn't be anymore in the dark
Ooh there's no flashlight
There's no insight
As hard as we try
Ooh we keep running round in circles
Time after time, hello, goodbye
ANGEL
He saw the battered and tired Scoobies arriving at his door, with people he didn't know or recognise and his heart feared the worse. He didn't see Buffy at all. As soon as everyone was inside, Dawn took him to the side and said her sister had something to do before she arrived.
Of course he had to question if she even knew where the Hyperion was but Dawn assured him she did. He felt much happier after knowing that but couldn't help but wonder where Buffy had gone. Seeing that everyone was busy, Angel slipped out of the hotel and started to track Buffy.
It didn't take him long before he finally found her and there she was standing in front of a grave. He couldn't help but stop a few feet behind her when he saw Connor come up next to her and took her hand.
Once again I walk away
There's no turning back this time baby
Once again I walk away
With every step I leave you behind me
Once again I walk away
Determined this time you'll be sorry
Once again I walk away
But if you ask me you know that I'd stay
I walk away
I walk away
But I know that I'll be back again
I walk away
I walk away
But I know that I'll be back again
Yeah, I walk away
CONNOR
Connor had dreams about Buffy as soon as he had arrived in Los Angeles to find his father. He didn't know who she was; all he knew that he felt connected to her.
While his father was away in Vegas, he had taken a trip to Sunnydale to see or find out exactly who she was.
Before he even stepped into the nearest graveyard, he had been attacked by a demon that thought of him as dinner, Connor didn't know that a certain blonde slayer had saved him until she introduced herself. They had talked more explanations were explained and they became good friends.
Connor went back to Los Angeles; just in time to see Angel come home and the rest was history. After the events where Angel nearly killed his son to give him a better chance in life, he took off for Sunnydale, hiding in the shadows but Buffy always knew he was there.
Waiting in Los Angeles, for her to arrive he slowly walked off to the graveyard, following her to make sure he didn't get lost. He walked up to her, taking her hand and just squeezed it.
She smiled; leaning down and she brushed away the dirt that had coated the grey gravestone before slowly straightening back up.
There on the gravestone where the words:
Daniel Liam Holtz O'Patrick
Born: 20th October 2002
Died: 20th October 2002
Beloved son
Always in our hearts,
Forever.
ANGELAngel's perfect vampire vision made out the words and his eyes widened. Wait a minute, 2002? Connor had a son!
BUFFY
Connor took her away from the scene but the memory was still there. Attraction couldn't be denied when Connor came to Sunnydale, even after learning who he was. One night had lead to her becoming pregnant, one night she had arrived in L.A, after slipping off in the middle of the night to find Connor had lead her to being attacked and her son died while still in her.
Connor had been devastated but had been there to support her. Now, she needed him to take her away from Los Angeles, from California and from the U.S.
Once again I walk away
There's no turning back this time baby
Once again I walk away
With every step I leave you behind me
Once again I walk away
Determined this time you'll be sorry
Once again I walk away
But if you ask me you know that I'd stay
I walk away
I walk away
But I know that I'll be back again
I walk away
I walk away
But I know that I'll be back again
I walk away
I walk away
But I know that I'll be back again
She had no reason to be here anymore.
