GIFT
NOTE: I do not own these characters and I am only using them for the fun purposes of fan fiction. But I do (pretty much) own Skylar.
A/N: I'd like to give a shout out to my gal pal Gidgetgirl for the inspiration and for helping me to create the totally cool character in Skylar. Thanks Gidget! You're so cool! Oh, and you might want to take a look at Gidgetgirl's stories. They're, in a word, awesome! You also might want to check out stories by Balticwoman, Pyro Bear, and Lian. Three great young authors. J
Second A/N: This story is a total AU and is completely unconnected to my other stories. In this story one reason Angel went to L.A was because he (Angelus) sired a pregnant woman and killed her husband. The pregnant woman returned, still pregnant, and was one evil vampire. Angel and his friends (Buffy takes the place of Cordelia in this) and Connor stake her and save the baby. By the way, I don't know much about Buffy so there is no need to stone me if I make a mistake. I just like Angel and Buffy as a couple and I hate Cordelia right now. (Very much!)
CHAPTER 12Buffy had agreed to go to the concert with Angel, Dawn, and Skylar. Dawn went crazy yelling out Janet Jackson's praise as she sung onstage. Luckily Dawn was pretty drowned out by the rest of the crowd yelling their lungs out.
"Can you believe this?" Angel called loudly to Buffy. "This place is roaring!"
"I know! These teenagers are nuts," Buffy yelled back.
"Hey, Sky! Are you hungry?" Angel yelled down to Skylar. She wasn't there. "Sky? Sky!" He turned to Buffy. "Did you see Skylar?!"
"What?" Buffy yelled unable to hear him over the crowd.
"I said did you see Skylar!" Angel hollered.
"No! Where is she?" Buffy was getting annoyed with all of the yelling.
"I'm going to go find her. I'll be right back!" Angel moved through the crowd. He found himself outside and rubbed his ears. Vampire hearing can really hurt when there is nothing but shouting going on. "Skylar! Hey, Skylar!" He finally spotted her standing near the snack bar. Angel ran over to her.
"Oh, hi, Daddy," said Skylar.
Angel knelt down to her. "Skylar, why did you leave?"
"It was really loud in there. My ears hurt a little."
"Skylar, you know better than that," Angel scolded. "Don't run off on your own anymore, OK? I get worried about you. I can't lose you."
"I'm sorry, Daddy," said Skylar, sticking out her lip and blue puppy dog eyes. "I won't do it again."
"Oh, Sky," Angel sighed giving in. "Why do you always pull out that face?"
"Cause it works."
Angel smirked at her. "Are you hungry?"
"Uh-huh. But my head hurts a little."
"I'll get you some ginger ale and a popcorn, okay?" Skylar nodded. Angel and Skylar went around to the front of the snack bar. A middle aged man was there stirring up some lemonade.
"Yes. Can I help you?" the man asked.
"Yes," replied Angel. "I'd like three medium cokes, a ginger ale, and a large thing of popcorn."
"That'll be seven fifty, pal." Angel took out his wallet and paid the man. He put the drinks into a four-pocket holder and the popcorn in the tub. Angel took the drinks. Skylar took the popcorn. "Enjoy the rest of the concert."
"Thank you," said Angel. He and Skylar started to walk. "He gave us a pretty big thing of popcorn. Can you carry that?"
"I got it, Daddy," said Skylar. She quickly tripped over a soda can she hadn't seen. The popcorn spilled. "Oops. I'm sorry."
"No, it's OK. I'll just get some more," said Angel.
"I'm sorry, Daddy. I didn't mean—" Something amazing happen. The popcorn tin she was holding started to refill to the top. "Wow!"
"Oh, that was incredible. Did you do that?"
"I think. Was I suppose to?"
"No, Sky. It's fine. It'll save us some cash," Angel smiled. Skylar smiled back. "Let's join the others."
As Angel and Skylar headed back to the concert the man working at the snack bar smirked. He had seen it all. He reached for the phone and dialed a number. Lilah picked up on the other end.
"Yeah, what? And this had better be worth my time," the woman snapped into the phone.
"It is a joy to speak to you, too, Lilah. This is Reginald. Put Frank on the phone."
A man walked into Lilah's office. She looked up. "Lucky for you he's right here." She held the phone receiver out. "It's your buddy, Reginald. Take it and tell him not to call on this line again."
Frank took the phone. "Yes, hello?"
"Hey, Frank," said Reginald on the other end.
"Listen. I thought you might like to know something."
"What? I'm busy."
"Angel's daughter is still alive."
"What? She was killed! That can't be!" Frank argued.
"Apparently it can," said Reginald. "I suggest you try again. Angelus's daughter must be eliminated."
"I know. You just do your job." Frank slammed the receiver down and stormed out of Lilah's office.
A/N: What is going on you ask? That's for me to know and for you to find out. Now review plase. Because there is more where this came from.
