They were created by Joss Whedon and belong to him, Mutant Enemy, Sandollar Television, Kuzui Enterprises, 20th Century Fox Television and the WB Television Network. I do however own Una.



Angel stood for a long time, not knowing what to do. Eventually he went inside slamming the door behind him. Someone popped up from behind his sofa and he jumped.

"Oh god," he said softly as he realised the magnitude of what he'd just done.

"Where've you been?"

"Out"

"But it's almost light out"

"I was, um, in the garden in the shade. I still enjoy watching the sun rise."

"Hmm," she said, not really listening. "I've got something to tell you."

"Yes," he said, sitting down next to her and holding his head in his hands.

"I'm your siren." She said it gleefully, bouncing slightly on the sofa and smiling at Angel.

Angel didn't know how to react. He'd just spent a day with the person he loved. And now he had to listen to this little kid trying to replace her. He controlled his breathing and counted to ten.

"No you're not." He said firmly.

"What" she said, confused.

"I've checked it out. If you were my siren we'd share a mutual telepathy."

"You checked it out?"

"Yeah" Did he have to repeat everything?

"You thought we had that strong a connection?" her voice was soft and sweet and showed the love and respect she had for him.

"Yeah," he said, not lying. He'd never felt what he felt when he was with Buffy.

She leaned in and kissed him passionately. Angel couldn't help comparing this kiss with the sweet sincere touch of his sirens lips earlier.

Things were so much easier yesterday.



Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh I believe in yesterday

Suddenly I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh yesterday came suddenly

Why she had to go I don't know wouldn't say
I said something wrong now I long for yesterday

Yesterday love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh I believe in yesterday

Why she had to go I don't know wouldn't say
I said something wrong now I'm longing for yesterday
