A/N: Sorry if this chapter sucks, but I have had major writers block.
Chapter 8: Old Things And New Things
"So Connor, what do you think of Sunnydale?" Kit asked. "Connor? Connor? Earth to Connor..." Kit said, waving her hand in front of his face. He didn't even blink.
"Connor, is that a vampire over there?" Dawn asked.
"Where?" Connor asked, getting his stake out.
"Nowhere. You were just spacing out," Dawn said.
"Oh, sorry. I was just thinking about something Buffy said about Angel." And as Connor said 'Angel', Dawn squinted.
"I guessing you don't like him either."
"I'm not fond of the guy. I mean, he hurt Buffy." Dawn said.
"He hurt Buffy?"
"Emotionally anyway. After he broke up with her she just cried. For months and months. At night all she would do was cry."
"He broke up with her?"
Connor and Dawn were so wrapped up in their own world they didn't see Buffy
come over, "It's time to go. Carlos, Kit, do you need a ride home?"
"No," they both said.
Buffy, Dawn and Connor walked into the house and immediately the phone rang. Buffy ran to get it.
"Hello? Oh. Okay. Bye!" Buffy said as she hung up the phone. "Dawn? Connor?
An emergency meeting just came up, Willow is at the library already. Will you guys be okay alone, or do you need me to call Xander to come over."
"Buffy. We're teenagers. Practically adults. We'll be fine," Dawn reasoned,
"All I'm gonna do is watch TV anyway."
"Homework?" Buffy asked.
"It is! See, for homework we have to compare the original Beauty And The Beast to the Disneyfied version." Dawn said.
"Okay..." Buffy said as she left.
"What's that book about?" Connor asked.
"Huh?" Dawn said as she walked into the kitchen and put popcorn in the microwave.
"About the beast?" Connor said as he followed her into the kitchen.
"Beauty And The Beast? It's about this girl who falls in love with this ugly beast. But the beast has a curse on him and he's really a prince. The girl tells him she truly loves him, he turns back into a prince, and they all live happily ever after." Dawn said. She then thought for a second. "Like Buffy and Angel, except Angel turns evil instead of turning into a prince, and the whole happily ever after part...". The microwave beeped. "Popcorn?"
"That was never really explained to me," Connor said.
"What, popcorn? It's simple really. See the heat makes the little kernels..."
"No, the whole Angel good, Angelus bad, curse thing."
"They never told you?"
"No."
"Now that explains a lot! I can tell you what I know of it, but it's not a lot."
"I would like that."
Connor and Dawn went into the living room and sat down on the couch.
"Okay, Angel was a little over 25 when he was changed. He wreaked havoc till 1898 until he ate the wrong girl. He was cursed with a soul and he lived on
the streets for a while before he moved to Sunnydale. He helped out Buffy, fell in love with Buffy, had sex with Buffy, and turned into Angelus. Then he tried to raise Acathla, this uber-scary apocalypse thing. Buffy killed Angel but Angel came back. Then he left Buffy and moved to LA." Dawn said.
"I don't get it."
"Get what?"
"What's the difference between Angel and Angelus?"
"Angel has a soul, helps people, feels bad, yada yada yada... Angelus is an
evil soulless thing."
"Oh, okay..." Connor said, their faces only inches apart.
"Yeah, it's hard to explain." Dawn said as they were slowly leaning in for a kiss.
At which point Xander walked in through the door and yelled into the house.
"Dawn, Connor!"
Back in the living room reality snapped in. Dawn and Connor pulled apart.
"We're in here Xand," Dawn said, inwardly thinking 'Thanks Buffy, you just had to call Xander... Why couldn't Xander come five minutes later?'
"Buffy wasn't sure what time she would be back by, so she called me."
"Great!" Dawn said with a fake smile. Inside, she was screaming. 'This sucks!'
