Conor walked home alone, his bag thrown over his shoulder. He saw Caoimhe pull up to the hotel just before him in Kyle's car. Kyle's car roared away and Conor yelled for Caoimhe to wait up. 'Hey are you actually going to do all these extra classes that my dad has planned?' 'Yeah I have to. I'm not going to be able to travel that much if I can't speak a few languages. Plus I know Latin and that's the basis for most modern European languages. Why are you trying to get out of it?' she stood on the steps of the hotel, waiting for him. 'Yeah I don't want to learn all this stuff. I've got better things to do.' 'Yeah like what? Go kill some vampires? Or other varying demon things?' 'It's fun.' He defended himself. 'Why don't you go out and have some fun with your friends. I am presuming that you've made some in the what sixteen years you've been alive.' 'Actually I'm not even a year old yet.' Conor had the upper hand. 'Don't be ridiculous.' 'I'm not I was born eleven months ago, then when I was two months old I was taken to Quortath and that's why I aged so quickly. Ha ha.' He had to add in the smug laugh. 'I so don't believe you. Who took you to that place?' 'Touchy subject we don't mention it but seriously ask Cordelia when I was born. She'll tell you I'm telling you the truth.' Conor pushed open the door of the hotel and Caoimhe followed him inside. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Caoimhe hated it when she was wrong, not that she was going to mention that to Conor. She sighed as Angel stood in front of them trying to explain to them how to speak French not very well. 'Well if you know the verbs everything will fall into place.' Ang4el tried to explain it. 'How did you learn it?' inquired Conor with a sigh. 'Well I was in France and your mother taught me I suppose but I just kinda picked it up.' Angel sat down and started thinking. Caoimhe rooted in her handbag for her purple nail polish if Angel was just going to sit there and think she was going to touch up her nails. 'Okay so maybe me teaching you two wasn't such a good idea but don't tell Cordelia. But while I can't teach you two other languages I can teach you to fight.' Angel looked proud of himself. Conor jumped up he was good at training. Caoimhe sighed she wasn't. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Caoimhe put the final touches on her make up. Kyle was coming over to pick her up they were going to a party. She stood up and admired her outfit, a short purple skirt and a tight back corset style top teamed with black knee high boots. She put a thick layer of gloss over her lips and scrunched up he now curly hair. She looked good. She heard Conor yelling that Kyle was there. She sat down again and waited five minutes, she couldn't be ready too early.

Downstairs Kyle was wishing that she'd hurry up. There was an intimidating black guy staring at him while he played with a cross bow. Angel approached Kyle sharpening a sword. 'So you are taking Caoimhe out tonight?' he questioned. 'Yes sir.' 'Well then I am Mr. Angel and I have a few rules that you will obey.' 'Yes sir.' Kyle was terrified this guy looked like he could and would kill him.

'1.You do not touch Caoimhe in front of me. You may glance at her, so long as you do not peer at anything below her neck. If you cannot keep your eyes or hands off of her body, I will remove them.'

Kyle laughed nervously 'You're kidding right?'

Angel gave him a disdainful look and continued. '2. I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys of your age to wear their trousers so loosely that they appear to be falling off their hips. Please don't take this as an insult, but you and all of your friends are complete idiots. Still, I want to be fair and open minded about this issue, so I propose this compromise: You may come to the door with your underwear showing and your pants ten sizes to big, and I will not object. However, in order to ensure that your clothes do not, in fact come off during the course of you date with Caoimhe, I will take my electric nail gun and fasten your trousers securely in place to your waist

3. I'm sure you've been told that in today's world, sex without utilizing a "Barrier method" of some kind can kill you. Let me elaborate, when it comes to sex, I am the barrier, and I will kill you.

4. It is usually understood that in order for us to get to know each other, we should talk about sports, politics, and other issues of the day.

Please do not do this. The only information I require from you is an indication of when you expect to have Caoimhe safely back at my house, and the only word I need from you on this subject is: "early"

5. I have no doubt you are a popular fellow, with many opportunities to date other girls. This is fine with me as long as it is okay with Caoimhe. Otherwise, once you have gone out with my little girl, you will continue to date no one but her until she is finished with you. If you make her cry, I will make you cry.

6.Do not lie to me. I may appear to be a nice harmless guy but in fact I am the all-knowing, merciless God of your universe. If I ask you where you are going and with whom, you have one chance to tell me the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I have a shotgun, a shovel, and a basement. Do not trifle with me.

7. Be afraid. Be very afraid. It takes very little for me to mistake the sound of your car in the driveway for a chopper coming in over a rice paddy near Hanoi. When my Agent Orange starts acting up, the voices in my head frequently tell me to clean the guns as I wait for you to bring Caoimhe home. As soon as you pull into the driveways you should exit the car with both hands in plain sight. Speak the perimeter password, announce in a clear voice that you have brought my daughter home safely and early, then return to your car - there is no need for you to come inside. The camouflaged face at the window is mine. Do you understand?'

'Yessir.' Kyle replied looking terrified and glanced nervously at his watch. 'If you are bored while waiting for Caoimhe to come downstairs, why don't you go and change the oil on my car?' Angel began to shine his sword. Gunn buried his head in his hands and tried not to laugh. This stuff was classic, where had Angel gotten it? Caoimhe walked down the stairs slowly, taking care not to fall flat on her face. 'Hey Kyle you ready to go?' 'Sure. Bye Mr. Angel Sir' he backed out the door slowly. 'Bye I'll see you later.' Caoimhe looked around suspiciously they were up to something.

As soon as she left Gunn fell onto the floor rolling around laughing. 'Where did you get that stuff?' 'Cordelia got it in an e-mail from Willow. I scared him didn't I?' 'Yeah man he was terrified, he won't be trying out anything on Caoimhe tonight.' ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

'What do you do to Kyle?' Caoimhe came back from the party raving mad. 'Nothing you can't prove nothing.' Angel mumbled in his sleep, he was passed out on a chair in the lobby waiting for her to get in. 'Yes I can you told him that you'd hurt him and kill him and I'm so going to tell Cordelia on you! She's going to kill you. I finally get a date with the captain of the football team and you have to try and screw it up! She'll so take my side.' 'Wait! Wait!' Angel called after her after she went storming up the stairs. 'Don't tell her and I'll apologise to him!' if she told Cordelia, he thought, then Cordelia would be mad and an angry Cordy didn't make a nice room mate. 'Fine you say sorry when he comes over tomorrow night to take me to the movies. And you can pay!' 'Okay just please don't tell Cordy!' *********************************************************** Review if you want more.
