A/N: Sorry if this chapter is really bad, but I wrote it during class when
I was supposed to be taking notes, who needs history anyway?
Chapter 4: Conversations
Buffy and Connor had been talking for about a half hour, which naturally worried Angel.
"What's wrong Angel?" Fred asked.
Angel looked up from writing Buffy's paper. "Between remembering my past and Buffy talking to my son? And not knowing what she's saying to him..." Angel trailed off.
"Angel, Buffy is a professional. It is not going to make a difference because he is your son," Fred encouraged.
"The last time I saw Buffy, I think I really pissed her off, for all I know she could be turning him against me more." Angel said.
Meanwhile, in Angel's office...
"So then The Master comes up behind me, bites me, and leaves me to drown." Buffy said.
"So, he killed you?" Connor asked.
"Yes, I've died twice," Buffy answered, as if it was no big deal.
"But, you're still alive?"
"Yes, the second time I died my friends resurrected me. The first time with The Master, Xander, a friend of mine, and *Angel* found me. Xander revived me." Buffy answered, happy that she finally found an opening to talk about Angel.
"Angel didn't save you?" Connor asked.
'Yes!' Buffy thought, 'He took the bait' "Well, he couldn't, no breath," she answered.
"Why did you break up with him?" Connor asked.
This question hurt, more then she wanted it to. "I didn't. He thought I deserved a normal life."
"Did he hurt you?" Connor asked.
"Huh?"
"You sent him to Hell, did he hurt you?"
Buffy was glad or this break, "No, Angelus did. But Angel? No, he never hurt me."
"Aren't Angelus and Angel the same person?" Connor asked.
"No, one of them has a soul, one of them is an evil thing, I've met them both, and I know the difference.
"They're different?" Connor asked.
"Yes, they're dif." Buffy started, only to be interrupted by her cell phone ringing. "Sorry," she said answering the phone, "Buffy here." she said as she stepped out of the office and into the lobby.
~"Hi Buff, it's Xander"~
"Hi, what's wrong?"
~"Just some good old apocalyptic stuff."~
"Oh, fun"
~"You know the prophecy and how they're not sure what side Angel will be on?"~
"Yeah, you find out what side?"
~"Well, sort of... See, if his son forgives him, accepts Angel as his father, it will make Angel happy. *truly happy*,"~
"Um, Xander, that's the kid I'm counselling."
~"WHAT?"~
"Look, I'll figure something out. Bye."
Angel watched Buffy. He could only hear what she was saying, but not the person on the other end. What she said repeated in his mind. 'Hi, what's wrong? Oh, fun. Yeah, you find out what side? Um, Xander, that's the kid I'm counselling. Look, I'll figure something out. Bye.' What was happening?
Buffy came over. "I gotta go."
"What happened?" Angel asked.
"Apocalyptic stuff, nothing new," Buffy said.
Buffy started to leave, then Connor came out, "Where you going?" Connor asked.
"An emergency came up, it's sort of an 'end of the world' thing. You get my drift?" Buffy said.
"But we were talking!" Connor said.
'I was finally getting through to him' Buffy thought, "Well, you could come back to Sunnydale with me. It's a long bus ride though, if that's ok with you." Buffy said, pointing the last part of the sentence at Angel.
"I-I guess. Do you want your paper?" Angel said.
"Sure," Buffy said. She looked over at the paper. "This is very detailed."
"Going to have to tone it down?" Angel had written more than he was asked.
"Oh yeah."
Buffy and Connor started to leave.
"Buffy?" Angel asked.
"Yeah?"
"Is there anything else that we can do for you?" Angel asked.
"Um, you don't have to but. 'From beneath you, it devours'." Buffy said.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Angel asked.
"That's exactly what I need to know..." and with that Buffy and Connor left.
