BAD

BOY

NOTE: I do not own any of these characters. They belong to the WB and only the WB. But I do own Leslie and anyone you don't recognize.

Summary: Connor and Leslie get into some accidental trouble.







CHAPTER 8



"Okay, we did it," blurted Leslie, as Angel and the others came down. "It's not my fault. Connor made me ditch!"

"What? That's a lie," snapped Connor.

"It was your fault. Don't deny. You made us ditch school, buddy," Leslie retorted.

"Hold it," said Cordelia. "You ditched school?"

"Yes," said Connor. "Wasn't that the school?"

"No. It was a client," said Cordy.

"You ditched school?" asked Angel, a tone rising.

"Yeah," said Connor glumly. "And I also met a traitor!" He shot a look at Leslie.

"Connor, let's chat," said Angel.

"Can't we "chat" down here?" his son asked.

"I don't think you want it down here," said Angel. "Move it."

"But-" Connor started. Angel gave him a look. "I'm going." He and Angel headed up the stairs.

"I don't believe this," said Fred.

"I can," said Gunn.

"Me, too," said Lorne. "Leslie you really are a traitor."

"Dad, listen to me. We were with the hockey team. They never ditch school. It was a one-time team. They were celebrating the new players. I got sucked into it. And I'm a little on the furious side with Leslie."

"Are you done?" asked Angel, when they entered Connor's bedroom.

"Yeah. I guess," said Connor.

"What were you thinking? You can't ditch school. It's against a few laws. What if a truancy officer had caught you?"

"I know. But you've gotta let me stay on the hockey team. It means a lot to me."

"Fine. But you're still in trouble."

"I think I can guess what that means."

"No. Not this time. This time you're grounded. For the entire weekend. And if you do anything like this again you know what'll happen."

"Uh, definitely," said Connor.





A/N: I know. I know. Where's the real (smack, smack) conflict? I'm saving that for an even better time. Trust me. It'll be worth the wait.
