Chapter One: No More Normal

Cordelia straightened her desk, then went over to make herself coffee. It was only ten in the morning, but she cold tell she was going to need it.

"Morning Cordy," Fred said cheerfully.

"Morning," Cordelia mumbled. She had NOT had a good night.

Wesley and Gunn were following Fred around, each in their attempts to win her over. "Hey Cordy," they said absentmindedly, both staring at Fred.

"Cordelia can I talk to you?" Fred asked.

"Sure," Cordelia and Fred headed into Wesley's office. "What's up?" She asked.

"Well, Gunn and Wesley have been acting really strange lately...They're following me around all the time, arguing. Do they not like me?" Fred asked.

Cordelia stared at her blankly, then laughed. "No, Fred, I think they both have a crush on you!"

"On me?" Fred asked in disbelief. "I highly doubt that, I mean I'm...well...me."

"Yeah, and they both like you...lucky you...you've got two to choose from," Cordelia gave her a grin.

"Oh...okay," Fred seemed confused about this. "I'm gonna go get a cup of coffee," She said.

"Good luck," Cordelia called, as Fred headed out the door. The second the door closed, Cordelia slumped down on the desk, laying her head down on her arms, just like she used to do in math during highschool. The second she had done that, she reflected back to last night...

* * *

She had been waiting a month for Bryon, the hot guy down the hall, to ask her out...and he finally had. He was handsome, dark black hair, piercing blue eyes, nice body...Cordelia was estatic when he finally asked her.

So here they were, eating dinner at a nice restaurant, like two normal people...Cordelia had almost forgotten about being half demon. He had leaned over to say something, and Cordelia felt tingles go up her spine. She leaned forward, when she heard a waiter drop a plate...loudly...right behind her.

She jumped, and that's when her demon powers kicked in. She opened her eyes to see herself levitating, a foot out of her chair. Bryon just stared.

"I'm n-n-not really into t-that kind of thing...w-witchcraft," He stuttered, threw some cash on the table, and ran out. Cordelia returned to the chair, and the entire place began to clap, like it was a show. Humiliated, she left. This morning Bryon had been moving out of his apartment.

* * *

"So I guess no more normal for Cordelia," She muttered. "No more guys...only the unnormal ones. Like Wes or Gunn...where am I gonna find one of those?" She wondered.

Angel came in the door. "Morning Cordy!" He called.

"Morning," She said, still slumped on the desk.

"What's wrong?" Angel asked.

"Nothing, just tired," Cordelia lied.

"You sure?" Angel asked.

"I'm sure...Dennis and I watched an Gone With the Wind last night...stayed up till two," Cordelia yawned. Not an entire lie, they had, while Cordelia had cried her eyes out, Dennis handing her tissues.

"Oh, well if that's the case... I brought someone to wake you up!" Angel handed her Conner.

"Hey, there's my favorite nephew!!!" Cordelia immediately grinned. Conner giggled at her. They walked into the main lobby, Cordelia sitting on the couch.

"Hey, let you're Uncle Gunn tell you a story," Gunn said, taking Conner from Cordelia. "One upon a time, there was a handsome black man, named Charles Gunn. And he was the bravest, coolest, and cutest vampire hunter you ever did meet...."

Wesley rolled his eyes. Cordelia stood up, then sat back down.

***There was a woman, with red-orange hair dressed in black leather, beating the hell out of a vampire. The vampire tried to get away, but the woman drove a stake through his heart. A man, in a trenchcoat slapped the woman, sending her sprawling into a tree.***

"Oh God," Cordelia said, looking at Angel. "We've got a slight problem."

"What did you see?" Angel asked.

"This woman, she was killing a vampire. She killed him, and then a man came out, slapping her into a tree. That's not the 'Oh God'," Cordelia said. "Spike was the vampire."

"What?" Angel looked at Cordelia. "Where?"

"The park, where they sell the really good hotdogs," Cordelia said.

"I don't eat food," Angel reminded her.

"I know the one she's talking about, I'll take you," Gunn offered. "Cept for one thing. Daytime..."

"It happened at night," Cordelia corrected.

"All right, night time fight," Gunn laughed.

"Well I need another coffee," Cordelia said, standing up, stretching her arms. She noticed the looks that she was getting from the four. "What? I'll stop after this last cup!" She promised.

"Um, Cordy, you have a...a tail," Fred pointed.

Cordelia looked behind her, and saw that she had a black tail, similar to the ones kids who dressed up as devils on Halloween had. "Oh God..." She said in shock. "I have a tail..."

"A very sexy tail!" Gunn remarked, knudging Angel and Wesley.

"I wish I had one!" Fred stated, praying that she never did.

"I would totally go for a girl with a tail!" Wesley agreed.

"You're hair is really beautiful," Angel stated. The three glared at him. "The tail matches your shoes!" He grinned.

"It's okay, I'm not going to freak over this," Cordelia said. "It's probably temporary right? I mean like the floating. Any second now...it'll go away," She rationalized. "Any second now..."

* * *

Hours later it was nightfall, and her tail still hadn't dissappeared. Cordelia had muscles in her tail, similar to a cat's. She could move it back and forth, up and down...she could probably hang from it. She held Conner, who was tugging on the end of her tail playfully.

"You'll probably have one too," Cordelia cooed. "Yes, just like me."

"We're gonna get going," Angel said.

"I'm coming too," Cordelia announced. "I'm so in the mood to kill something right now. Hey, why not Spike?"

"Fred, you and Wesley will watch him then?" Angel asked.

"Sure!" Wesley agreed immediately. Gunn narrowed his eyes.

"Maybe I should stay too, in case anything happens..." He glared at Wesley, who smirked at him.

"Gunn, we need you for mucsle," Cordelia reminded him.

"Fine," Gunn said, glaring at Cordelia for making him go.

Spike wandered through the park, he heard they had really good hotdogs here. He'd get a bite to eat, then find his way to Angel's hotel, and see the little bit.

Spike fell on his face as a woman knocked him to the ground.

"Bloody hell!" He snarled. "What do you want?" He asked.

"I'm gonna stake your vampire ass," She swore, hitting him numerous times.

"What did I do?" He asked.

"Aren't you gonna fight back?" She screamed.

"Do I look like I'm gonna bloody fight back?" He asked.

"Fine, then die!" She held up a stake, and brought it down.

She was knocked off before the stake could pierce his flesh. Spike stood up, seeing Angel, Cordelia, and another guy fight her off. The girl took off running into the night.

"Angel! Just the poof I was comin to see!" Spike announced.

"What are you doing in L.A. Spike?" Angel asked.

"I came to see my great uncle!" Spike stated. "Thought I'd say hello to the little bit."

"You think I'd let you near by son?" Angel said in disbelief.

"Why not? Can't hurt him. Chip in me head, can't touch the humans," Spike explained. "He's a human isn't he?"

"Yes," Angel replied. "Why are you really in L.A. Spike?"

"To see your kid you nancy boy! What, you think I can actually bite people...nope, Slayer's bloody commando boy took care of that! Thank god Captain Cardboard left," Spike muttered. "Anyways I'm here 'supposedly' to get Slayer's sister a car, sixteenth birthday'll be coming up, wanna surprise Nibblet."

"Do you EVER use peoples' actual names?" Cordelia asked. "Nibblet, Little bit, Captain Cardboard...who the hell are yout talking about?" She asked.

"Nibblet is Dawn, and Captain Cardboard is the Slayer's ex- boyfriend," Spike rolled his eyes. "If you don't know who Slayer is...then you're a tail short of a demon."

"Wanna bet?" Cordelia muttered.

"So where are the hotdogs? I'm a bit hungry..." Spike looked around. "Oh there they are!"

"You actually do that?" Angel asked.

"Do what? Eat human food?" Spike replied. "Yeah, I do. What, you don't?"

"Why would I? I don't need it," Angel stated, while Spike rolled his eyes.

"So, it's still good!" Spike defended, getting a hotdog, pouring on the mustard.

Cordelia got one too, grabbing the mustard bottle from Spike with her tail. "Greedy," Spike muttered, then stared. "You've gone demon since I last saw you."

"Tail's a new development," She said, putting the mustard bottle back. The vender just looked at the tail...demons were a regular in this park.
