"Tom," Connor soothed coming over to her. "It's okay, it was just a dream."
"No, it wasn't. It was another prophecy. Max is going to die. We're fighting and this demon comes out of nowhere and kills him."
"Tom, I'm"
"No you're not. No one in this family liked him, so don't give me that I'm sorry routine. I wish I had never gone that night to meet his dad. I know Max can't help who he's related to, but it felt like I was betraying my family. Come on, I have watch get some sleep I'll wake you before I leave for school."
"School?"
"Well someone has to talk to Grandpa Giles about how to get home and since Angel didn't usually hang out at the school it's up to me."
"But what if you run into your mom, and what about the sunlight thing?"
"I've looked through my mom's old school schedules and no matter what she was never in the library during second period and it's already starting to rain so no one will think it's weird for a girl to be running through the streets with a jacket over her head. Sleep."
"I will say one thing for you, you do have your mother's ability to destroy all your relationships by being a control freak." Spike smiled.
"What are you talking about?" Tomorrow asked.
"That Connor kid is completely gone on you, but you're too wrapped up in this Max guy to notice."
"Connor doesn't think about me that way. He's like an overprotective big brother. Besides Angel's son and Buffy's daughter is a little cliché don't you think."
"Just telling it as I see it."
"Well I never thought I'd say this but you're wrong. This is landmark really, I go back in time to find out that my dad is not only happy being evil, but good at it."
"Thank You."
"You know I always thought that when you finally became good was the happiest time in your life. You had mom, demons to kill, Aunt Dawn supporting the relationship. But just looking at you, I can tell your happier pure vamp. Mom and I can't compete with fresh blood from a human victim I guess. It's okay I still love you, it's just weird that I always stuck up for you and it turns out they were right. You were an evil monster without a soul."
^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Buffy" came a voice behind Tomorrow as she was heading towards the library.
"Hey" she said turning around to face a guy who kissed her.
"I'm late for biology but meet me at lunch as usual okay." He said running off.
"Scott is so great," said Willow coming up next to her. "I'm glad you're finally getting over the whole never loving again after you sent Angelus to Hell thing"
"Yeah, that's me spring board Buffy, never can get over a bad relationship fast enough. So Will, I was headed to Giles to find out about time travel any ideas."
"Why should I? Giles is research guy. We're just his humble students. Oh there's Oz I got to go."
"I don't even want to know why my Aunt is kissing the lead guitarist for the Dingoes. Hey Giles, I caught up with this demon last night that said he was from another time period, but he got away any ideas on how time travel works so that I can stop him from making it home in one piece."
Giles looked up from the book he'd been reading at the table. "Time Travel Eh, well the best way to return to your own time is to recreate the environment in which you were transported."
"So like if you were in a pool and then in a lake you would try to find another body of water."
"Precisely"
"Cool well I have class got to book." Tomorrow said as she watched Uncle Xander and Aunt Cordy walking in together shouting insults at each other but doing it in such a way it was obviously flirting. "I'm glad Connor can't see this. Bye Guys."
"Bye Buff" Xander called as she left.
^^^^^^^^^^
"So what happened?" Connor asked when Tomorrow got back to the crypt.
"Oh nothing, Aunt Willow is dating Oz from the Dingoes, Aunt Cordy is dating Uncle Xander, and this guy named Scott seemed to think mom was going out with him because he kissed me."
"I meant about the time travel what did Grandpa Giles say. This guy actually kissed you."
"We have to return to the same environment we were transported in. Meaning we're at the Bronze next Tuesday. Also if mom was with Scott that means that we need to go to the Mansion tonight."
"Why?"
"Your dad's about to come back from Hell where mom put him. I have to see if I can do anything to help, because right now he's the only one in this family besides Grandpa Giles that's acting normally."
"Wait, so while my dad was in Hell your mom was dating another guy who kisses."
"Apparently. I can't believe she would get over her relationship with Uncle Angel that fast. It must be a rebound thing."
"Unless Dad was a mistake and this Scott guy is supposed to be her true love."
"What are you talking about?"
"I need to tell you something about the bite you gave me."
"No, it wasn't. It was another prophecy. Max is going to die. We're fighting and this demon comes out of nowhere and kills him."
"Tom, I'm"
"No you're not. No one in this family liked him, so don't give me that I'm sorry routine. I wish I had never gone that night to meet his dad.
