BUSTED





NOTE: I don't own any of these characters. They belong to the WB. They are WB characters alone. I know Fred use to be into the whole drug thing. Give me a break. I'm trying to deal with typical teenage issues.



Summary: Fred and the others discover some things about Connor. Connor and his new buddies think of another stupid adventure. That's not even the worst of it.







CHAPTER 8

The next day everyone was thrilled about Cordelia's memory returning. That bump on the head had really done it for her. Angel, Gunn, Lorne, and Cordy were all sitting in the hotel living room.

"Well, Cordy's back. The world is nearly right," said Lorne.

"Yeah, right," said Gunn.

"Where's Fred?" asked Angel.

"It's her laundry day," replied Gunn. That's when Fred came down. She had a HUGE laundry basket with her.

"I'm glad Connor's here but it seems teenagers always have the most to clean," she said, putting the stuff down on the table but a pair of pants fell out.

"Need some help?" asked Lorne.

"YOU'D help?" asked Fred.

"No. I was just trying to be nice," replied Lorne.

"I almost missed his humor," said Cordy.

Fred lifted up the jeans and two things fell out. She picked them up and they were definitely familiar to her.

"Uh, Angel," said Fred.

"What is it?" asked Angel.

"Are these your pants?" Fred asked.

"Nope," said Angel.

"Not mine, either," said Gunn.

"Ditto that," said Lorne.

"Well, there is a beer cap and a joint in here. And if they don't belong to one of you then I know who they belong to," said Fred.

"Oh, my God," said Angel.

"Connor's gonna die," sang Lorne. "Connor's gonna die."

Harold and his twin sister Kathy ran up to Connor and Leslie in the hallway at school.

"Guys, we have some more beer. We couldn't get any joints but come on. Let's do this," said Harold.

"Where are we suppose to go? Homeroom starts in ten minutes," said Leslie.

"Follow me," said Kathy. Kathy led the way down to the basement's girls' bathroom. "No one is ever in here."

Her brother started to pass around the beer. They weren't light beers this time, though. But they ALL began to drink it anyway.

They got into it so much that no one noticed when the hall monitor walked in. He gasped.

"Uh-oh," said Harold.

"Beer!" cried the monitor. "Wait until the principal finds out."

"Well, well, well," said Principal Henry. "Beer in the school? You four are in deep trouble."

Connor, Leslie, Harold, and Kathy were sitting in the principal's office getting lectured.

"Lucky for all of you this is a first time offense and you're not getting suspended. You're also lucky I wasn't able to reach your parents. But you will take these notes home and your folks will sign them. If I don't get these back tomorrow then they will get another phone call or I'll be there in person," said Principal Henry. He handed each of them a note. They all felt like they were death slips.

Connor opened the door of the hotel.

"Hello!" he called loudly. He let out a sigh when there wasn't another sound. Leslie walked in behind him. She and Connor sat down in the living room.

"You really do live in a hotel. It must be cool," said Leslie.

"Uh, yeah. Very much," said Connor. "I'm glad nobody's home. They must be out on, uh, business."

"They must really trust you," said Leslie.

"Um, yeah," said Connor. "Do you wanna see the upstairs?"

"Sure," she replied.

Connor led Leslie upstairs. She noticed a slightly open door. Leslie peeked through the door and slowly walked inside.

"This is my room," said Connor.

"Pretty fancy, Connor." She sat at the foot of the bed. Connor took a baby picture off of his dresser and sat down next to her.

"This is a good picture of you, Connor. How old were you?" asked Leslie.

"I was about eight months," replied Connor. "You like it?"

"I love it. Even then you were totally hot," she said. This took him by surprise. She turned and faced him. "You're pretty cool, too."

They began to lean in closer, closer; suddenly they were in a lip lock! They were kissing!

"Connor," said Angel, walking in. He was followed by Cordy. Connor and Leslie quickly broke apart.

"Connor?" gasped Cordy.

Connor said, "Uh, Dad, Cordelia, meet Leslie."
