Trinities-Chapter 04

Chapter Four-What the day brings

            "But One Life to Live is on," Lily said.

            "So what, Passions is on after this," Spike replied.

            "One Life to Live!"

            "Passions!"

            "Todd and Blair!"

            "Tabitha!"

            "Starr and baby Jack!"

            "Tabitha!"

            "Spike!"

            "Lily!"

            "This isn't getting us anywhere," Lily said.

            "You're right," Spike agreed.

            "Passions doesn't start for another half hour.  Could we watch One Life to Live at least until then?"

            "Fine," Spike relented, handing over the remote.

            "Thank you," she replied, quickly turning the channel from NBC to ABC.

            "Who's the kid?"

            "Starr Manning, and that's baby Jack," Lily answered Spike.

            "The guy with the scar?"

            "Todd Manning."

            "And the woman?"

            "Blair Manning."

            "So they…" he started, but was interrupted by Lily.

            "Rule Number One, if you speak while the Manning family is on, I won't hesitate to stake you.  Please hold your questions until the commercial break, or when someone else is on the screen."

            The duo sat back and Spike was quickly sucked up into the on goings of Llanview, Pennsylvania.  During commercial breaks, he would ask questions and she would fill him in on the character's history.  Spike didn't even notice when the half hour was over and it was time for Passions to start.  After One Life to Live, they stayed tuned in for General Hospital.

            "Who's that?"

            "Alexis Davis, attorney at law.  She's secretly carrying her former client's baby."

            "Who's that?"

            "Said former client, mob boss Sonny Corinthos.  He is currently presumed dead."

            "The blonde?"

            "Carly Corinthos, Sonny's wife.  She knows that Alexis is carrying Sonny's baby, but will never tell him."

            "That?"

            "Brenda Barrett, it's a long story."

            They spent the next hour discussing Port Charles, New York.  When it was over, they noticed that they had an audience consisting of Buffy, Angel, Dawn, Willow and Tara.  "Hey," Lily said.

            "No Passions?" Buffy asked.

            "Oh, yeah, we were going to watch that.  Oh well."

            "I'm sorry," Lily said, looking at Spike.

            "Don't worry about it.  I enjoyed the shows."

            "What were you watching?" Dawn asked.

            "One Life to Live and General Hospital," Lily answered.

            "Cool, I love the guy with the scar," Dawn replied.

            "Todd Manning," Lily said, "he is so, mmmmm!"

            "What's everyone talking about?" Xander asked as he and Anya came in.

            "One Life to Live and General Hospital," Willow answered.

            "If anyone ever could be vengeance demons," Anya said, "it would be Todd and Blair.  They can be wicked."

            "I know.  They're totally perfect for each other."

            "Who'd have thought?  The town rapist and the town whore," Anya said.  "And then when she found out that he was the Lord heir."

            "Yeah, but they worked it out.  Until he went to Ireland," Lily replied.

            "What?" Buffy asked.

            "It's a long story," both Anya and Lily answered.

            "Oh," Buffy said.

            "So, what's everybody up to?" Dawn asked.

            "Nothing," everyone answered.

            "We should go see Lorne," Angel said.

            "Who?" Lily asked.

            Angel explained who Lorne is, and everyone agreed that it was something that they should do.  With the group of thirteen assembled, Angel called Lorne and they all headed over to the club.

            "So," Lily said, "we sing then?"

            "Yeah, and then I can read your soul."

            "Cool, can I go first?" Dawn asked.

            "Sure," Lorne answered.

            Dawn walked up onto the stage and picked out her song.  Then opening notes played, and she sang.

            After she finished the song, she came down off of the stage and sat down next to Lorne.  "Well, Dawn, this is very interesting."
