"AHHHHH" Tomorrow screamed sitting up in the bed, she was sleeping in, in
one of the spare bedrooms at Xander and Willow's house. The lights turned
on and Willow came over sat on the bed and held her in a protective rocking
position.
"Shhh, baby what's wrong? It's okay the bad dream is gone."
"It wasn't a dream" Tomorrow screamed as Xander and Connor walked in. "It was a prophecy."
"Don't be silly, your mom's the only one who gets prophesies." Willow assured her.
"It was a prophecy, and I was drinking Connor!"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"How were you drinking Connor?" Willow asked.
"I had vampire fangs and I was drinking Connor's blood from his neck. Standard Hellmouth stuff only I don't have fangs and I would never hurt Connor." Tomorrow said freaking out.
"Baby, we know you wouldn't hurt Connor. Come on prophecy or not there are going to be a lot of people here later and they want a beautiful birthday girl without bags under her eyes."
"Okay I'll try to sleep, but Connor please lock your door just to be on the safe side." Tomorrow asked.
"Sure, no problem" Connor said leaving her room with Willow and Xander. "What was that all about?" He asked the adults.
"Looks like Tomorrow got an early unexpected birthday present from her mom" Xander stated.
"What so she's going to turn Vamp and drink me, because I'm not loving this prophecy thing." Connor said.
"Not all prophecies are hundred percent accurate and are all open to interpretation." Willow said comfortingly "Buffy had this one about Dru killing your dad and he lost his soul so you see"
"Something else could happen that's just as bad" Connor finished.
"Exactly" Xander said, "so I say we go to bed and worry about it after your parents get back. Spike's actually getting good at interpreting these things."
^^^^^^
"They're here" Tomorrow cried running out to her family van. "Hey da, Aunt Cordelia why are you driving? Dad never lets anyone drive the van."
"Well why don't you ask him." Cordelia smiled as they all watched a motorcycle pulling up and Spike taking off a helmet.
"No way! Dad got me a motorcycle. Dad got me a motorcycle." Tomorrow cried jumping up and down.
"Well actually, the motorcycle's for me and you can drive the van" Spike joked flying backwards as Tomorrow attacked him.
"Hey a little thanks to the mother who although never drives was insane enough to let my daughter have one of these death machines." Buffy said as everyone came over to inspect the motorcycle.
"Hey I'm a very good driver. Just because the person who taught me loves running over the 'Welcome to Sunnydale' sign, doesn't mean dad can't teach responsible, careful driving methods.
Now if you'll excuse me there are some elderly pedestrians I was hoping to run over before the party." Tomorrow smiled.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Aunt Willow you are incredible. The 'Dingoes ate my Baby' concert was sold out two minutes after it opened how did you get front row seats and backstage passes?" Tomorrow asked excitedly opening Willow and Xander's present and hugging them.
"I slept with the lead guitarist. I'm kidding Xander, I didn't do Oz." Willow assured her husband who was turning green. As the adults were laughing over past inside jokes, Connor gave Tomorrow his gift.
"I knew you needed a new copy. Yours' is kind of worn out especially track seven" He said as she opened a CD with 'Dingoes ate my Baby' clearly written on it.
"Oh Connor" Tomorrow smiled kissing him on the cheek, "You know one of those tickets is yours right?"
"I was kind of hoping on it." He teased.
"Well now isn't this a nice family photo." Came a voice from the doorway.
"Riley" all the adults cried. Tomorrow and Connor just looked as pale as their fathers did after they hadn't eaten in a few days. "Oh boy" Tomorrow said under her breath, "this can't be good."
"Shhh, baby what's wrong? It's okay the bad dream is gone."
"It wasn't a dream" Tomorrow screamed as Xander and Connor walked in. "It was a prophecy."
