Title: Back to School

"Cordelia, pray," Willow said and bowed down.

-What the, where am I? - Cordelia looked around the room. It seemed she was in a closet. Connor? She looked down and Connor was there on the ground, asleep. Wait, why is my hair long, what am I wearing? And did I just hear…"Willow?" Cordy asked the praying witch.

"Yes…dear lord," Willow babbled. Cordy picked up Connor and held him to her chest. Willow seemed younger than she was the last time Cordy had seen her. Cordy looked at her clothes and dragged her perfectly manicured fingers through her long brunette hair. She drew in a calming breath and began to retrace what she was doing before, and how did she end up in a closet. I was in my room with Angel, Spike, and holding Connor. Then there was this freaky flash of light, then….Why don't I just ask Willow.

"Willow, where are we?" Cordelia asked, unsure if the answer would calm her or scare her even more. Willow looked up from the ground and gasped. She couldn't believe her eyes. There was Queen C standing there holding a small sleeping child.

"Oh my, Cordelia. Who's that and what do you mean where are we? We're in a closet, you know, vampires out there, and I don't want to die, and again who's that?" Willow rambled. Cordy smiled a little reminded of Fred, but she frowned as the situation hit her.

"Wait, what year is it?" Cordy remembered only one time she was trapped in a closet with Willow at what seems to be the school.

"1997," Willow answered confused by Cordelia.

"Oh my gosh," Cordy gasped. Connor woke up in his mother's arms, as she sat down on a nearby bucket. He looked up at her. She looked different, younger, and why were they in a closet. I must be still dreaming. Connor thought.

"Mommy?" Connor asked, rubbing his eyes.

"Mommy?" Willow repeated. Wait, Queen C couldn't be a mom, she is always so thin, and where did that kid come from, I'm sure I would've noticed if Cordelia was carrying a kid.

"Shh, honey I'm here," Cordy said in a hushed tone. Where's Angel and Spike. I hope their okay, wait. If I'm here in my past bodies, then they must be…Cordy's thoughts were interrupted by Willow.

"Cordelia, what's going on? You seem really different," Willow stated. She seems a lot nicer.

"Okay, Willow, you may not believe me because even I don't believe this, but I'm from the future," Cordy explained.

"Mommy where are we? No we can't be in the past," Connor said, remembering Wesley talking about time travel before Connor ate that page in the book.

"Shh, we'll find a way back. I promise," Cordy said, trying to calm Connor and herself.

"Mommy I'm scared, I want daddy!" Connor sniffled, trying not to cry.

"It's okay, we'll find him, but we can't say too much. We don't want to change the future and we have to be quiet," Cordy said. I hope Angel and Spike are okay. Wait Spike is in charge of all of this. Oh, shoot. Buffy may try to kill him.

"Cordelia what do you mean the future, how did you get here?" Willow asked. She was still in shock. Woah, this is Queen C. She seems so nice; maybe she is from the future.

"I honestly have no idea. I was in my room with Connor in my arms and then there was a bright red light, and um…we ended up here," Cordy said, getting a headache. "We have to get to the library." Cordy turned to open the door, but Willow's hand shot out to stop her.

"Cordelia, uh…tons of vamps out there. We have to stay in here," Willow said.

"Mom, I'm scared! I want to go back home. I want daddy and more gel," Connor licked his lips.

Cordy smiled down at him. "We'll get home, but no more gel. I'm still mad at Uncle…" Cordy stopped. I can't reveal too much information.

"Uncle who?" Willow asked. I wonder who is in Cordelia's future. And who's the dad?

"I can't say. Look, Connor, we have to try and not say anything about the future okay. Use letters like Uncle W, okay," Cordy explained, and Connor nodded.

"Cordelia can I ask one question. Is the father Xander?" Willow asked.

"Eww, yuck, no way!" Cordy shrieked. She sighed as she felt her stomach for where the rebar will eventually go through.

"Oh, and one more question. Are we all still alive?" Willow asked hopefully.

"Yeah, you all are," Cordy smiled softly at the red-haired witch. She pulled Connor tighter against her.

"Angel, watch out!" Some one shouted. Angel ducked just in time and staked the vampire. He kicked two more away, and drove the wooden object through their heart. The last one ran down the hall. Why the hell am I at a school? Is this Sunnyvale High school? Who yelled? Angel swung to his fellow fighter, and his mouth curled up into a scowl. It was Xander Harris, and he looked younger. Angel felt his fist clench as he remembered what the little punk did to Cordy. Hold on, Xander Harris, high school fighting. What do I remember? There was a flash of light and then…

"Earth to dead boy, you there?" Xander's annoying voice snapped Angel out of his train of thought.

"What year is it?" Angel asked.

"1997, you okay dead boy?" Xander asked, although by the tone in his voice you tell he didn't care. Dead boy has gone loony. I wonder where Buffy and Willow are.

"Yeah, of course," Angel replied shaking his head. I can't give away that I'm from the future. Especially not to this moron. This looks like parents day, and ohh Spike led an attack. Wait, where are Cordy, Connor and Spike? "Where did the others go?" Angel asked, not really caring about Buffy or Willow, just about Cordelia. If I came back, then so did Spike, Cordelia and Connor. Wait Cordy and Spike must be in their past bodies, but then where is Connor. Don't panic, Cordelia was holding Connor so he's probably with her. I hope their okay.

"I think Cordy and Willow took off down once your friend crashed the place. Buffy went somewhere with some of the parents," Xander answered. Of course he's going to go all insane vampboy worrying about Buffy.

"We need to find them!" Angel demanded

"I'm sure the Buffster will be fine. It's Willow I'm worried about," Xander said looking around the school. I could care less about Cordelia.

"I was talking about Cordelia and Willow," Angel said irritated, and walked off. I can smell Cordelia's scent, and Connor's. Yes! Angel began to jog down the hall, with Xander following in his footsteps dumbfounded by Angel's new behavior. Since when did he care about Willow and Cordelia?

"Spike, I think I hear something," Someone said in a hushed tone.

Woah, where the hell am I? I first was in the room, flash of light, and bam, I'm in a hall. No wait! I'm in a school hall. This looks familiar, where is Angel and Cordy? And who was talking? Spike turned his head to the unknown companion.

"Ah, vampire!" Spike broke a wooden table, making a stake. He then turned to the vamp and stabbed him in the heart. Wait, a vampire. Oh bloody hell; I'm in stupid Sunnyhell High school. Didn't this school burn down. Wait…Spike glanced at the sign on the wall. "Welcome to Parents Day". No, no, no, it can't be! This is when I crashed parents' day. We were just talking about this. Where is everyone? Did Angel and Cordy come back too, and what about Connor? Okay, come on Spike. They are probably just in their past bodies. Connor may be with Cordy because she was holding him, and they should be safe. I don't know where the poof is, but he can take care of himself, I mean he's already dead. I have to find them and then get to the library to get this whole thing straightened out. I shouldn't tell anyone, nor talk to anyone. Wait, I'm suppose to be evil. Wow this is so sad. I spent too much time with Fred, Cordy, and Connor to act evil. Man, did I really wear these shoes? They look to be 50 years old, which is a possibility. These pants are out of fashion as well…Damn it Cordy! Spike was pulled out of his thoughts by a small noise.

"Wait, where's that noise coming from?" He felt something fall onto his shoulder. He brushed the tiny specks of cement off his leather jacket and glanced up at the crumbling ceiling. I remember now. The slayer is up there trying to be sneaky. Gosh the ceiling is falling down. Lose some weight slayer; don't want the whole school to crash down. Move along Fatty. Spike chuckled and smirked until he heard footsteps.

"Hey, Spike!" a vampire ran up to him. "I think some went down that hall," the vampire pointed to a hall on the right. Spike clutched his weapon and smiled.

"Bye, bye!" Before the vampire could question Spike, he turned to dust. Okay, Cordy has told this story before. She said she and um…red were hiding somewhere. Shit, why can't I remember? That was the day Gunn got Resident Evil. I totally kicked undead ass. Come on, Spike focus. Think, damn it, think. Man, Angel was right, that was never my strong suit. Spike shook his head, and sprinted down the hallway to the right.
