Last time:
"So…ah Dawn, what happened to you're sister?"
Somehow, Connor knew that the demon knew about what was happening between Dawn and him. I only hope that someone can tell me.
Looking up from Buffy Dawn glanced around the room again, noticing that all eye's where on her still she smiled.
"So, do you want the long version or the short?" Glancing at the clock she added, "We have time for both."
"Uh, the long if you please. Things tend to be left out in the short."
Nodding Dawn asked, "Then I need to know what everyone knows so far." She rolled her eyes at the puzzled looks, "about Buffy and Angel. I can't tell you unless I know what you know. Otherwise it will be far too long."
"What do you mean? What we know?" the girl, Fred, asked.
"I mean, do you know about them. That Buffy is the Slayer, her story?" Pausing slightly she added, "I assume you know about Angel being a vampire, but is that all you know?"
Looking at everyone's puzzled face's she sighed and sat down next to her sister. It seemed that her sitting reminded the others that they were still standing, so they sat as well.
Connor had chosen one of the larger sitting areas to set Buffy down in, so everyone sat looking at Dawn waiting answers. Connor sat next to her to help her face the group, causing her to look up and smile and him.
Again everyone noticed the interaction between the two, Lorn smiled at them from his set across from them.
Looking away from Connor Dawn smirked at Lorn and said to everyone, "You know, if I'm going to tell you our, and their story, I think that you should at least introduce you're selves."
At everyone's stunned looks Dawn and Connor smiled and laughed slightly.
Trying to regain his composer, Wesley started, "Well, you know who I am, but for fun. I am Wesley Windom-Price, I work for Angel…I think." At her confused look he add with a sad smile, "I lot has happened, well talk later." As he said this he also looked over at Buffy.
Fred cleared her throat and smile at Dawn, "I'm Fred, well Winifred, but everyone calls me Fred. Angel saved me, that's how I'm here now."
Smiling back at her Dawn looked over at Gunn, nodding from him to speak.
He smiled as well and nodded back as he added,"Names Charles Gunn, but just call me Gunn."
Again Dawn smiled, then her eye's moved to the last one and before he could even start she was out of her set hugging him.
Laughing softly Lorn said in a mock hurt voice, "that's not far, everyone got to introduce themselves."
Pulling away slightly Dawn patted his arm lightly, "I didn't know you would feel left out, but go ahead if you want to."
"Why thank you lame chops, but as you know, I am Lorn." He said stepping back to bow slightly.
Laughing at his antics Dawn added, "I can't believe Buffy didn't tell me you were working with Angel. I would of called or came to see you uncle Lorn."
Behind her everyone stared in shock at what she just said.
"Uncle Lorn?" Fred asked.
Turning around Dawn nodded smiling at them all, "yes, well not by blood or anything, but that's what I've been calling him for years." Glancing over her shoulder she smiled up at Lorn.
Returning the smile Lorn said, "Buffy and Dawn used to live in LA, after Buffy was called and before she left for Sunnydale, she and Dawn came to my club. Well Buffy came after her watcher died and Dawn followed her.
"Then the next summer they both came often when they were with their father. And later Buffy came by herself. They came so often that they were know by all my regulars, and had become so popular they were asked to sing every night they were their."
"Please, we weren't that good. It was just that the demons that frequent it are tone def."
Chuckling softly Lorn shared a glance with Wesley and Gunn, both of whom were laughing.
Shaking her head, and not seeing the men behind her Dawn continued, "I just hope they weren't all as bad as Angel."
The laughed behind her died and as she turned to look at everyone in the room, she realized her mistake. Looking in her sister's eyes she silently asking if she could tell them what she meant be that.
Taking a deep breath Dawn sat back down next to Connor and her sister, waiting for more questions.
"What did you mean by that Dawn?"
She looked up at Wes, who was standing in front of her. With one last glance at her sister for courage she said, "I've never heard him sing if that's what you mean. I only know he's tone def because Buffy told me." Seeing the realization draw on his face she shook her head. "No, Wes. Angel never sang to Buffy, at least not 'Mandy'."
Glancing at Lorn she added, "When Buffy was in heaven they showed her Angel's life, all of it, from birth to when she was pulled back here. So, she, and now we as she told me everything on the way here, knows who you all are and how you got her. The only big thing we didn't know about was the new bad and Connor."
"And all we do know about him is that he is Angel's son."
As that was said everyone turned to look at Buffy, who after speaking was struggling to sit up. "But I would love to know more."
Grabbing her arm to help her up and steady her Dawn asked, "Buffy? Are you better, do you need anything, how long have you been trying to get up?"
Smiling at her sister Buffy said, "a bit, no and since you started to talk about Angel's singing ability, or lack there of."
Smacking her sister Dawn glared at her, "you could of ask for help you know?"
Smirking Buffy said, "But you were having such fun trying to explain for me. Plus I didn't need help."
Her smirk soon fell as Buffy turned her attention to the rest of the room. Nodding at Wesley and smiling at Lorn, her eye's landed on Connor.
With a small smile she asked, "so, when were you born, who was you're mother, and how long has Angel known you?"
Ok all; I'm very sorry that I didn't get this out sooner. I wanted to add more to it, but decided that I would just try to write the next chapter faster this time and started with what I had at the end of this. So the next chapter will be like this one was cut in half, yet not cause I don't have enough written to post 2 chapters. If that doesn't make scenes, I'm sorry; my mind is too tired to think of many words. Bye all, Kat
