The red light finally dimmed and Cordelia immediately looked around for her family. She couldn't find Connor or Faith but she did find a mirror. She was in a richly decorated room. The person in the mirror had long dark hair was wearing a nice preppy outfit and looked around seventeen years old. And her name was Cordelia Chase.
Cordelia "What the hell" She screamed and fingered her now dark long hair. How could this happen, where am I, where's Faith and Connor. Will I ever see my boy again? No stay calm figure out one thing at a time.
Cordelia looked over at the calendar May 12, 1998. I traveled back in time to Sunnyhell. And I'm trapped in my seventeen year old body. Shiiiiit.
Connor opened his eyes when he saw the red light fade away. Connor looked to where he was now. He was no longer sitting on his comfortable bed but now he was on hard pavement. Connor looked around for his mom or aunt but all he saw was a bunch of teenagers walking around. Connor stood up and looked at the sign in front of him.
Sunnydale HighClass of 1998
Connor was in a strange place where his mom said was a bad place. Connor did the only thing he could think of and started crying.
Cordelia parked her flashy car in her normal parking spot. She was surprised she even knew where it was. She figured that she would go to the library and see what she could find out about time travel. But even though Wesley said that you couldn't change the past. Cordelia decided to save herself the headache to keep it to herself.
Cordelia was going to go into the school but heard someone crying. She looked over to see a young boy crying. Cordelia went over and leant down towards him and when he lifted his head she was surprised to find Connor.
Connor looked up at the women now leaning next to him it was his mom but she looked different.
Cordelia not believing her eyes said "Connor?'
Connor said threw teary eyes "Mommy?"
Cordelia quickly gathered Connor up in her arms and hugged him close whispering soothing words to him.
Connor rambled (A skill picked up from everyone but mainly Fred) "There was a light and I was on the ground you left me." Then Connor pulled away slightly and looked at
Cordelia again. "Mom why do you look so different?" Connor asked
Cordelia took a deep breath "Connor you know when Uncle Wesley was telling us about time travel." Connor nodded remembering how Uncle Wes was always talking about some boring thing. "Well…" Cordelia continued "We seem to have traveled back in time. I'm in my seventeen year old body." Connor grinned at this. Most kids would find this scary but Connor was used to this stuff and found this exciting. Plus he knew his mom wouldn't let anyone hurt him.
Cordelia knowing what was going on threw Connors head smiled. He really was like his dad sometimes. "Okay, were going to go into the library. When were around other people you can't call me mom. I'm your cousin okay. Call me Cordelia, Cor, Cordy or cousin but not mom. And you might see your dad or Faith, but they may not recognize you. You have to act like you don't know them. Faith might actually but Angel won't. And they might be acting differently okay." Cordelia said.
Connor "Okay cous." Connor said and smiled.
Cordelia put down Connor and led him to the library. Maybe Faith came back to. I hope she did.
Faith sat at the table in the center of the library deep in thought. One minute I'm in Connors room talking to Cor and the next I'm laying in my cheap motel room seven years in the past. I hope Cor and Connor are alright. Maybe they came back. I really didn't want to see the Scooby gang again but I know Cor would come here if she did come back. God I forgot how annoying Xander and Buffy were.
Xander, Buffy, Willow and Oz were sitting around the table yammering on about stuff. Giles was in his office probably reading some musty book.
Then the library doors swung open and Faith looked up knowing that there was no one from the Scooby gang missing. Seventeen year old preppy Cordelia walked in. Faith was sure that it was the past till she saw whose hand Cordelia was holding. There partially hiding behind Cordelia was Connor. They must have traveled back in time too. Faith couldn't keep the grin off her face. At least some of my families here.
The rest of the Scooby gang looked curiously at the little boy clutching to Cordelia's hand.
Oz was the first to speak up. "Who's the kid, Cordelia?"
Faith knowing that she had to make Cordelia know that she was from the future too answered. "His name is Connor right." Faith said with a wink towards Cordy. Cordelia obviously catching the meaning smiled a huge smile.
Cordelia said "Yea, Connor is my cousin and is staying with me a couple days."
Buffy looked at Faith "How did you know his name was Connor?" She said clearly suspicious.
Connor thought Wow what's up her butt.
Faith "Cordelia told me her cousin was coming to stay with her for a few days." Faith got up and walked over to Cordelia and Connor. It was really hard not to burst out laughing at the faces on the Scooby's.
Faith "Hey Cor, want to get a soda for Connor. Are you thirsty little man?"
Connor looked up at Faith. Connor knew this was the Faith from the future. I mean he is a pretty smart kid. "Yea, me thirsty."
"Okay Connor lets go." Cordelia said and she, Faith and Connor walked out leaving the whole Scooby gang mouths to drop open.
Xander "Since when did faith and Cordelia become friends."
Buffy "The end is truly coming."
Willow "I think it's nice they deserve friends."
Buffy "Yea right,
Cordelia had her so called friends and Faith is friends with us
kinda."
She said in her usual stuck up way.
In the hallway outside of the library.
