Title:
"Glitzy Changes"
Spoilers: Post "Waiting In the Wings".. right after Groo
arrives. Everything after that? Didn't happen.
Rating: PG-13.. to be safe. Nothing that couldn't happen on the show.
Distribution: Ask me. I'd probably be flattered. :P
Disclaimer: Joss, Mutant Enemy, Greenwolf, and UPN own the show and
it's characters.. all that jazz.
Summary: Angel Investigations is lead to investigate a strange vision;
Cordy and Angel are inadvertently effected.
Feedback: I welcome constructive criticism. And praise, if any. :D
Thanks for all the comments so far.
Note: This is my second fanfic
of all time, and my first one for Angel. Make of that what you will. :)
---Angel's Car---
Angel concentrates on the road while Gunn sits in the passenger seat fiddling with the radio. Wesley, Cordelia, and Groo sit in the backseat in that order.
Radio: "..Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road.."
Groo: "I do like this machine. It transports us from one area to another, and allows wind to whip my long hair."
Radio: "...Time grabs you by the wrist directs you where to go..."
Cordelia: "And what beautiful hair it is."
Wesley: "Sitting on a remarkable mind, as well."
Cordelia glares at the bookworm, although her own comment stank of sarcasm.
Radio: "...It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right..."
Groo: "I thank you, fellow great mind!"
Radio: "...I hope you have the time of your life..."
Cordelia: "So! Angel, any quick plan action happening in your brain?"
Radio: "...So take the photographs and still-frames in your mind..."
Angel: "Wha..? Oh, uh.. yeah. I guess we'd have to rent a room to get to the scene."
Radio: "...tattoos of memories, and dead skin on trial.. for what it's worth it was worth all the while..."
Gunn: "Oh yeah, we're gonna have to get in first. Forget about that. What are we supposed to do with Hercules here?"
Radio: "...It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right, I hope you have the time of your life..."
Wesley: "Matter of fact, wouldn't the whole lot of us renting out a room look suspicious?"
Radio: [Instrumentals]
Cordelia: "Plus, the more people, the pricier it gets. And we won't actually be staying so..."
Gunn: "Just me and Angel, the manly folk minus Hercules and Plato?"
Radio: "...It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right, I hope you have the time of your life..."
Wesley: "Like you said, Gunn, this isn't going to be the usual battle. I'll accompany Angel and see if I could assist in identifying the nature of the offender."
Cordelia: "But if this is an undercover job, we'll want to distract the guy away from that girl with a more enticing victim. Angel could be there if anything happens."
Radio: "It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right, I hope you have the time of your life."
Angel: "Alright then, let's go. You guys stay here and keep your eyes out for bright lights on the second floor."
By now, they were parked in the lot of the Hilton. Angel turned off the engine, and the two of them headed for the entrance.
Groo: "I send you waves of good luck, my princess!"
Cordelia: "Yeah, thanks hun."
Gunn: "Oh right.. may the force be with you and all."
---Hilton: Lobby---
Cordelia and Angel enter side by side, scanning their surroundings. Cordelia slips her arm around Angel's waist. She notes his apprehension.
Cordelia: "Undercover, right?"
Angel: "Oh yeah, right."
Angel puts his arm over her shoulder, and they approach the front desk.
Angel: "Hi there.."
He glances at a nametag.
Angel: "..Mark. I'd like to rent a room here, for me and my gal."
Cordelia: "Preferably on the second floor."
Mark glares questionably.
Angel: "We like it like that. Not too high, not too low. Right in the middle."
Mark: "Sure.. so, cash or credit?"
---Hilton: Second Floor---
Cordelia drops her voice and imitates Angel.
Cordelia: "Right in the middle, for me and my gal."
Cordelia: "What was that about?"
Angel: "Hey, I'm not the one who almost blew our cover."
Angel heightens his voice.
Angel: "On the second floor, please Mark."
Cordelia laughs uncontrollably.
Cordelia: "I didn't see a chipmunk anywhere, was it behind us?"
Angel: "Let's just concentrate on the mission, okay hun?"
Cordelia: "Alright Angel, don't get your panties in a bunch. So do you think 216 was rented by the victim, or neon man?"
Angel: "Let's find out."
---Angel's Car---

........
Gunn: "So...."
Groo grins.
Gunn: "How do you like our Earth so far, Groo?"
Groo: "Ah yes, I favor it very well. A strong helping of your earth in Mukna makes a delicious brew. "
Groo: "Mmm."
Gunn plasters a smile and nods his head very, very slowy.
Wesley: "Cordy's a lucky girl."
Groo: "Ah yes, I thank you. However, I do not understand her plan. How is she and Angel meant to enter the lodging without suspicion?"
Gunn: "Undercover."
Groo puts on a strong face strewn with concentration.
Gunn: "Undercover.. like.. like they're pretending to be something else. In this case, a couple I guess."
Groo: "A couple of what?"
..
Gunn: "Of.. like.. lovers."
Gunn: "Just pretend."
Groo: "Oh, I understand."
Groo: "Do not worry, this does not upset me at all. I am positive that I will satisfy my princess in all areas of mate searching."
Groo: "Such as cooking."
Wesley: "Ah, Pylean cuisine. I'm sure she'll love that."
