"Dad" begged Tomorrow around six that afternoon "We've been training for
seven hours. Can I take a long break? Say until next week."
"How about until tomorrow at noon"
"Deal," She responded still catching her breath.
"Good. It was time to stop anyway. There's a big Scooby meeting over at the Mansion. Promised everyone we'd be over after sunset."
"Don't worry about me, I'll be ready in five minutes." As her dad walked upstairs "That is if I can get my legs to move. How come training with powers is so much harder than training without?"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
When Spike and Tomorrow got to the Mansion. Tomorrow made eye contact with Connor and they headed outside while the adults settled in for their meeting.
"Hey Tom, looks like your dad was pretty hard on you."
"Nothing a year in a coma wouldn't cure." She joked. "Connor I am so sorry for how I acted last night. It's not that I don't trust you. It's that I'm afraid of what I'll do to you. Right now I don't trust my own body, but I never want you taken out of my life so I figured out a solution."
"A box"
"Well open it."
"It's your crucifix. I can't, It's the most important thing in the world to you. You've never taken it off."
"With these new powers, it burns me. That's why I had to give it to you in the box. If something happens and I do try to attack you, this should help ward me off. So that's the deal, you wear the crucifix and I don't have to worry about hurting you. Oh and it's used to being dipped in holy water and polished every Saturday."
"But it's so important to you."
"So are you, besides my mom told me that your dad gave it to her, her first week in Sunnydale."
"I don't know what to say."
"Say you are still coming to the 'Dingoes ate My Baby' concert with me next week"
"Only if you'll go to Star Wars with me tonight. They won't miss us."
"Sounds good I'll go tell them."
"How about until tomorrow at noon"
"Deal," She responded still catching her breath.
