A/N~ I thank everyone for there reviews! And to answer your questions Sandman, you said that I said nothing about Dawn feeling anything about Spike leaving, but in the A/N of the first chapter I said that Spike had never left Sunnydale to go to Africa. Also about the Willow/Tara thing, I understand what you're saying about that. Apparently when I was writing this fic it did not occur to me I was contradicting what I had written. This is my first fanfic so I'm still working some things out. You are correct about that. And thank you for pointing it out. Now on with the story!
Chapter Two~ Breaking the Ice
Dawn and Buffy sat on the couch in their house at 1630 Revello Drive. "Do you really want to Dawn?" Buffy asked.
"Yes, Buffy. I do", Dawn said.
"Well, all right then. I'll make the call." Buffy got up and walked over to the telephone.
It rang three times before someone picked up.
"Hi, Angel. It's Buffy…"
*********************************
Dawn stepped off the bus into the air of the Los Angeles bus station. People were rushing to various places, trying to find their party. Then Dawn spotted Cordelia and waved.
Cordelia immediately waved back and ran to Dawn giving her a huge hug. "Dawn, ah! I'm so glad you're here!" The ex-cheerleader said.
"I'm glad to see you too Cordy."
Cordelia smiled.
"I'm looking forward to fun of all funs", Dawn said.
"Good." Cordy said. "Now we're going to go back to the Hyperion, that's the hotel we all live in, and we're gonna get you introduced to everyone. You already know Angel and Wesley. Gunn is really nice, he used to be a vampire hunter but one day he sorta came to the Hyperion and never really left. Oh and Fred, she'd really nice too. We rescued her from this dimension called Pylea where she had been held captive most of her life. We brought her back to LA and well, that's that. Oh and then there's Connor of course."
"Connor?" Dawn asked.
"Yeah, Connor, he's about your age, he's Angel's son."
Dawn's eyes widened.
"Yeah, that's something I should probably explain…"
About twenty minutes later Dawn and Cordelia pulled up in front of the Hyperion. Cordelia had just finished telling her about Connor and Dawn was still in utter shock.
"That's so strange Cordy. I mean vampiric birth, Connor, Holtz, Quartoth, Connor coming back, killing Angel, them eventually working things out. Ah, it's just so much to take in." Dawn said.
"I know, but I figured I better let you in, so you wouldn't have too many questions later."
Dawn nodded.
"Okay", Cordelia said grabbing the last of Dawn's bags, "let's go meet everyone."
Dawn and Cordy walked into the Hyperion and Dawn looked around in astonishment. It was huge! And everyone Cordy had mentioned was sitting in the middle of the lobby waiting for them.
"Dawnie, you know Angel and Wesley of course."
"Hello, Dawn," Wesley said.
"Hey Dawnie," Angel said waving.
"Dawn this is Fred", Cordelia said motioning to the timid Texas girl sitting on the couch.
"This is Gunn", Cordelia pointed to a man sitting on the couch by Fred. Boyfriend and girlfriend obviously.
"And this is Connor", Cordelia said motioning to the brown haired teenager on the red chair.
Dawn's eyes locked with Connor's. He's cute! Dawn thought to herself.
Connor looked at Dawn. He noticed her outfit. Plain, yet stunning. She had on a plain pair of blue jeans and a fitting white spaghetti strap top that showed off her golden California tan. Brown hair that reached half-way down her back. She was overall very pretty. "Hi," he said timidly.
"Hi", Dawn said back.
"Okay!" Cordy said breaking the awkward silence between them. "Dawn let me show you to your room and then we can go do some shopping!"
Dawn smiled and thought to herself the ice has been broken.
