Chapter Two

*********************************************************************

Angel lifted his head as if like he could hear someone telling him it was all going to be ok. He looked around before looking at the picture on the floor. He picked it up and kissed Cordelia's image before putting it back in the drawer.

"Hey." Angel looked toward the door and saw Connor standing there with Dawn behind him. She decided to stay there with them and her newly *husband* instead of returning back to Sunnydale. They emerged from the door to sit in chairs across from Angel.

"Hey." He gave them a weak smile.

"How you holdin up dad?" asked Connor with concern. Angel looked like he hadn't eaten in days and he didn't get any sleep either.

"I'm fine." Connor sighed knowing that his father was *not* fine. Dawn placed her hand on his and gave him a reassuring squeeze.

"Are you sure? You haven't eaten or slept any…"

"I SAID I'm FINE."

"Angel, Connor's just worried about you. We all are." Angel sighed.

"I know. I'm sorry it just that…"

"You miss her?" Angel looked up at his son and saw the sympathy in his eyes.

"Yeah I do…I miss her so much."

"But dad if she were here she wouldn't want you brooding around and not eating or sleeping." Angel chuckled as he heard his son use Cordelia' figurative word for his moods.

"I know son. It's just…hard that's all."  Dawn got up and placed a comforting hand on her father-in-law's shoulder.

"I imagine wherever she is…she's trying everything to get back." He placed his hand on hers and smiled. He sure hoped she was right.

**************************

Cordelia paced back and forth. She had waited for what seemed like forever. What was taking them him so long? She threw her hands in the air and sighed.

"I'm not getting any younger people…can we hurry it up?" She stopped and turned to meet Skip as he came back from seeing the Powers That Be.

"So what did they say?"

"You can go back…"

"Wahoo! When…when do I go back?" He was silent.

"Skip? What did you do?" He sighed.

"Nothing. It's just that…you can't go back until you pass a test." Cordelia threw her hands in the air again.

"What is it with you people and tests?" She sighed.

"Fine…I'll do it…whatever it is…"

"It won't be easy."

"JUST TELL ME ALREADY." He sighed heavily.

"Something's coming and you have to guide him through it."

"What…what do you mean something's coming? Like apocalyptic type something?"

"Yes."

"So…what do I do?" Skip explained to her what would happen. She walked about thinking and consuming all of the information that was being told to her.

"So let me see if your telling me this right…something's coming…I have to be Angel's guide from above…and I can communicate with him…even by appearing to him?"

"That's right."

"This doesn't seem to hard. If I'll know what to do then this should be a piece of cake."

"But Cordelia…"

"So when do I start?" Skip sighed. There was no point in telling her that she would have to figure everything out on her own because she wouldn't listen. That's just like Cordelia, never listening to the parts that are most important.

"I'll go tell the Powers you accepted and then I'll be back."

"Yeah sure. I'll be right here." Skip shook his head as he walked towards the Powers That Be leaving Cordelia behind. He just hoped for the best because if she failed this test…she would never be able to go back.
