"What!" Connor shrieked jumping off the bed where he had been sitting with
Tom.
"I asked you to bite me, to finish the sangre de mi corazon I began almost a year ago. Have you ever noticed how dad won't look at your neck? It's because it's a reminder to him that I've claimed someone. In vampire terms, we are engaged. Instead of running to Vegas, let's just finish the claiming here tonight. I trust you."
"Tom, I just..."
"Shh, it's okay, if I hadn't been unconscious and near death, I probably wouldn't have bitten anybody either. I just thought since you liked my blood so much you'd like to finally take it from the source."
"What about your dad and the killing of anybody associated with leaving fang marks in your neck?"
"That's the best part, no vampire can say anything about a claiming ceremony, they are binding. Oh, he'll be pissed, but he can't do anything. If he does anything to you, it will hurt me too. That's why vampires take claimings so seriously; you literally become connected to the other person. It's stronger than the bond between sire and childe. Once a claiming is complete." She shrugged. "Well, it's like they say- 'till death do us part.'"
^^^^^^^^
"Hurry up" Cordy screamed from the living room. "Tomorrow's going to be on in two minutes." Everybody rushed in and settled in for the show.
The usual unfunny President skit, then Saturday Night Live opening credits featuring Tomorrow. Then Tomorrow appeared on the SNL stage to loud applause. As she flipped her hair, a mark on her neck became visible.
"I'll kill him," was the only thing the Scoobies heard as Spike went storming out of the room. They soon heard the squealing brakes as he sped out of the driveway.
"Shouldn't we be worried about Connor's safety?" Willow asked tentatively holding Violet.
"No," Buffy reassured them. "Spike has a plane ride to cool off and Connor has Tomorrow on his side. I'm more worried about who Spike's going to take his anger out on until he gets there. I feel sorry for every passenger on that plane."
"But on the plus side, Tomorrow's really funny. She definitely gets that from you Buffy, Spike's never funny." Cordy stated as she took Brian from Angel and left with the screaming baby to go nurse.
"I don't know, I thought Spike was really funny just now all because of a little mark on Tomorrow's neck," Xander laughed. "I mean its just a little bite, it doesn't mean anything."
