A/N: Hi, I up-dated! I was sick today so I sat my computer and typed this, hope you like. Now on with the story.



Chapter 13: WHAT THE HELL

Dawn sat down, "Okay let's see if we can do this without being interrupted, Angel, just do the same steps. Now, when do you think you heard 'from beneath you it devours'?" Dawn asked.

"Sometime within the last 110 years," Angel answered.

"Okay, let's put this around an important event, so, would you say before or after you got your soul back the first time?" Dawn asked.

"Come to think of it, I think I heard it maybe a day or two before I got my soul back the first time," Angel answered.

"What do you mean getting your soul back I thought vampires have no soul?" Connor asked.

Dawn turned to Angel, "You never told him?"

"No! Of course I." Angel's voice trailed off, "was a complete idiot and never told him."

"WHAT THE HELL!" Buffy screamed from upstairs.

"What's that all about?" Dawn asked.

Angel got worried; he knew what Buffy was yelling about.

Buffy came running downstairs, by the look in her eyes you could tell she was beyond pissed, "Connor, how `bout you and I go for a walk," Dawn said, not asked, and pulled Connor out the front door.

"Um, Buffy, I know you are a little angry." Angel said trying to calm Buffy down, and also trying to save his own ass.

"A little mad? We've been married since my 17th birthday!" Buffy said.

"Well, technically, that's how people got married a long time ago, not how they get married now," Angel said.

"Yeah, Angel, that's how people got married when you were human! You knew what the damn ring meant!"

"You put it on!"

"Yeah, but you didn't tell me that if I put it on with the heart facing me it means we're married!"



Dawn and Connor have been walking for a while now.

"Dawn?" Connor asked.

"Yeah?"

"What soul? I thought vampires had none."

"Connor, why don't we go sit down?"

Connor and Dawn walked over to a nearby bench.

"Okay, and now to answer your question about the soul thing," Dawn took a breath, "Okay everyone down in LA are idiots, first off."

Connor gave her an odd look.

"Okay so here's the thing, you dad, Angel, is one of the two known vamps in the world that have souls."

"What does that mean?" Connor asked.

"But those vampires didn't always have souls, you dad is Angel, Angelus is a different vamp, same body, but way different personalities."

"I'm still not completely getting it."

"Okay, Angelus reeked havoc for about a century and a half, then he ate the wrong girl, her family cursed him with a soul, so everything Angelus has done Angel remembers what he, Angelus did. So Angel goes around helping people, trying to right his wrongs, but the thing is if he sleeps with some chick Angelus will be released and will reek havoc again."

"I think I get it," Connor said, "Has it ever happened?"

"What?"

"Has Angel ever lost his soul?"

"Yeah, about five years ago." Dawn said.

"What happened?"

Dawn took a breath, remembering what happened, "He slept with Buffy, lost his soul, called forth a demon to suck the world into Hell, Willow restored his soul, it was too late, Buffy had to send Angel to Hell, then he came back a few months later, our time, I have no clue Hell-dimension time."

"Oh" was all Connor said.

Then Connor kissed her, they were lost in each other for a few minutes, before coming back to Earth.

"What was that for?" Dawn asked.

"Just for being you."

They leaned in again, but just as their lips were about to touch again they heard a car horn beep, they looked up, and then someone shouted his name.

"Connor!"

It turned out to be Gunn and the rest of the A.I. team.

"Hey," Connor said as he walked over to the car fallowed by a slightly blushing Dawn.

"Dawn?" Cordy said.

"Hi, Cordy," Dawn said.

"Where's Angel and Buffy?" Cordy asked.

"They were starting to argue about something, so we left."

"Oh." Wesley said.

"No way, Wesley? What happened to Giles the Second?" Dawn half joked.

"Long story."

"So, do you guys want to hop in and we could all go to Buffy's house?"

"Sure." Connor and Dawn said getting in, but both deep down wanting to go back to kissing.
