Connor sat next to Rain's body, which lay on his bed, holding her hand. He wanted her to wake up, no he needed her to wake up.
"Willow, Kay, and Ara are working to get Angel's soul back." Faith said from the doorway. Connor just stared at Rain and rubbed his thumb on her cheek as tears fell from his eyes.

Sunnydale 1998
************************************************************************
Rain looked around she was at the Sunnydale docks. Buffy and Angel stood a few feet away from her they didn't realize she was there but she noticed they both looked different.
"What the hell is going on?" Angelus walked up behind her when he noticed who she was he tried to hit her but his hand went right passed her. He turned to look at Angel and Buffy. "No way, you got to be kidding back in Sunnydale!" Angelus shook his head. Rain listened to the two's conversation.
" Don't say that. We'll be fine." Angel looks at Buffy. Rain is clueless to what he's talking about.
" We don't know that."
" We can't know Buffy. Nobody can. That's just the deal." He reaches into his pocket. " I have something for you. For your birthday. I... I was gonna give it to you earlier, but..." He shows her a ring with an intricate design
"It's beautiful." Buffy beamed. Rain recognized it and looked at her own finger.
" My people -- before I was changed -- they exchanged this as a sign of devotion. It's a claddagh ring. The hands represent friendship, the crown represents loyalty... and the heart... Well, you know... Wear it with the heart pointing towards you. It means you belong to somebody. Like this." He shows her his own ring on his finger. She touches his hand, leans over and kisses the ring. "Put it on." He takes the ring from her and slips it onto her finger.
"I don't wanna do this." Buffy sobs.
" Me either."
"So don't go." They kiss and she puts her arms around him. After several kisses they stop and look at each other.
"Buffy... I..." Two vampires suddenly jump at them from some cargo netting. One pulls Buffy off of Angel and throws her back. The other begins to fight with Angel. Buffy rolls to her feet. The vampire swings at her, but misses. She grabs him and starts pummeling his gut. Angel flips the other one over onto his back. He gets up, and Angel swings at him three times, but he blocks all of them. Angel's next punch lands on the vampire's face. Buffy ducks a swing, lifts herself up on the dock railing and kicks her assailant in the chest with both feet, sending him staggering back into the gangplank. She gives chase and grabs him by the back of the shirt and hair. He growls. Dalton drops out of the cargo netting now, too, runs over to the box, grabs it and starts to run.
Buffy yells. "Angel! The box!"
Angel ducks a roundhouse kick, grabs the vampire's arm and flips him over onto his back. He runs after Dalton and tackles him to the deck. Buffy's attacker shakes free of her and shoves her into a stack of crates. He follows up with a roundhouse kick, but she ducks it and he just hits the crates. She makes a grab for him, but he punches her in the face. Angel gets ready to punch Dalton but gets distracted when the vampire he was fighting before grabs the box and makes a run for it. Buffy's opponent grabs her by the jacket and roars as he swings her around, over the railing and into the water. Angel sees her go flying.
"Buffy!" Angel jumps over the railing and into the water after her.
"Where are we?" Rain looks at Angelus as everything changes and they're in a Sunnydale alley.
"Watch this." Angelus smirks.
Angel half dressed, crashes through the door into the rain. He stumbles over some trashcans and falls to the pavement. He cries out in pain and fear. "Buffy!"
Rain looks around for Buffy seeing her no where, again Angel screams in pain. "Buffyyyyy!"
"What just happened?" Rain looked at Angelus.
"I came out to play." He laughed again the scene changed. Rain looked at a lady who was working she was obviously at a school.
Giles walks into the room. "Jenny, I was wondering if after you're done you would like to come over?"
"I would love too."
"See you later then." Giles smiles sheepishly. He leaves, and she starts to finish her work while popping up something else, saving it onto floppy disk, she prints it out, and suddenly she realizes she's not alone. Angelus is there, he breaks a glass orb and destroys her computer, burning the printout, and then attacks Jenny. She runs out of the room down the hall with Angelus-1998, Angelus-2002, and Rain following.
"Who is she?" Rain yelled.
"Ms. Calendar, she's a teacher and Giles girlfriend." Angelus laughed.
Rain stops as she she's Angelus-1998 grab Ms. Calendar by the neck and break it the teacher falls to the floor. Rain puts her hand over her mouth as tears slip out of her eyes.
Again the scene changes, Rain knows the place she's outside of Giles apartment he walks past her to find a rose on his door, Rain and Angelus follow him inside. Champagne in ice, Puccini on the stereo, and a note that says "Upstairs." Are waiting for Giles. Rain followed the watcher up the candlelit stairs, his smile freezes on his face as he sees the dead body of Ms. Calendar in his bed. Rain looks at his hurt face she turns to see Angelus smirking.
"I never got to see what the man looked like." He grinned evilly.
"If I could hit you I would." Rain glared.
Rain notices she's in a school again, a big sign over the doorway says library so she walks inside as vampires topple a bookshelf on Willow and break Xander's arm. Drusilla saunters into the scene, hypnotizing and African-American girl and then slashing her throat before ordering the vampires to take what they came for Giles. Rain looks around at the disaster she walks over to the table where something was happening before it was interrupted. Rain startled turns around to find Buffy running into the library, Buffy sadly kneels over the African-American's dead body just as someone points a gun at her and yells, "Freeze!"
"Who's the girl?" Rain turned to Angelus.
"Kendra, she was a slayer." He shook his head.
Rain turned back to the cop and Buffy who was making loud protests, the police clearly believe that she was somehow responsible for Kendra's death and the rest of the mayhem at the library. But as the cop starts to handcuff her and read her, her rights, she lashes out, disabling the cop and evading a bullet as she runs from the school. Rain couldn't believe it people just didn't seem to care that these people were Buffy's friends. Rain rolls her eyes as the scene changes again.
Buffy was walking when a cop stops her and holds a gun on her. Suddenly he's knocked unconscious by Spike. Rain smiles but when Buffy instinctive violent reaction she jumps back but Spike tells her that he's there as her ally. He says he really has no interest in destroying the world, like Angel does, and only really wants Drusilla back, so he's willing to work with her towards that end. When he tells her that Angel has Giles at the mansion, Buffy warily accepts his offer. Rain couldn't believe it Spike liked Drusilla ok maybe she could but it was still awkward.
Again the world span and Rain found herself in a mansion as Angelus-1998 begins a ritual to revive some kind of stone. Buffy bursts into the mansion with Xander in tow, and chaos ensues. Xander rescues Giles, and Buffy faces Angelus-1988. Just then, Spike rises from his wheelchair and strikes Angel across the back repeatedly. Drusilla goes mad, attacking Spike to stop him from hurting Angelus-1998, and while Buffy is distracted by another vampire, Angelus-1998 manages to get up and complete the ritual, pulling the sword from the stone demon's petrified body. Spike renders Dru gently unconscious, taking her away as Angelus-199 fights Buffy. Back and forth they fight until, suddenly, Angel staggers. Angel looks around and asks Buffy "what's going on?"
She realizes what's happened and kisses him passionately. But when she pulls away, she sees that the stone demon has reawakened, and the whirlpool that will suck the whole world into Hell has formed.
"Close your eyes." Buffy whispers to Angel kissing him one last time, she plunges the sword through him, and both the whirlpool and a wide-eyed Angel disappear as Buffy bursts into tears.
Rain reaches at her neck feeling something sliding down it when she looks at her hand she sees blood. "Looks like the little slayer has a problem." Angelus laughs. The scene changes again and Rain finds her and Angelus in the mansion again but they're not alone Angel is there chained to a wall. "Now, this is pitiful. He did that to himself." Angelus shook his head.
"Look who's talking." Angel slipped out of the chains. "Getting drugged by a 15-year-old."
"I thought something was different." Angelus kicked Rain in the stomach she was caught so off guard she flew into a wall.
"Rain, get up. You have to live." Angel punched Angelus across the face.
"Are you so dumb that you're going to talk to a teenager while your facing your alter ego?" Angelus kicked Angel.
"No, she needs to hear this though." Angel tripped Angelus to the floor and ran to Rain. "Rain, everyone needs you especially Connor just because something happens where you die or go to hell doesn't mean your life is over..." Angelus grabs Angel and throws him into the wall. Rain staggers to stand up but Angelus punches her back down.
"Nobody needs you, you're better off dying." Angelus kicks her in the side.
"Don't listen to him Rain, I need you." Angel tackles Angelus and punches him across the face several times before he's thrown off.
"Who are you going to listen to a wimp or a great vampire?" Rain covers her ears and stands up.
"I think I'll go with a champion!" Rain flips over Angelus kicking him in the back.
As a bright light glows Angelus seems to be going back inside of Angel.

Hyperion
************************************************************************
Rain sits up and Connor jumps back. "Rain, are you ok?" Connor went closer to her.
"I'm fine, are you all right?" Rain touched his face.
He rubbed the back of his neck. "Troy told us some news it seems like the baby is mine." Connor looks away. "Well, then I guess you're glad I'm back." Rain stood up and grabbed Connor's hand taking him downstairs.
Kay, Mac, Ara, Buffy, Spike, Bran, Gunn, Ecks, Fred, Wes, and Gabby all ran to her. Faith, Marshall, and Angel came up from the basement. "You're back." Kay ran towards him kissing him passionately.
"Yes, I'm back and I see so is Rain." Angel walked over to the teenage slayer.
"Hey, I get everything you said and I understand now." Rain smiled at Angel then hugged Connor tighter.
"I have an announcement." Buffy smiled. "It seems like right now all our worries are over so, I'll tell you that I'm pregnant." Buffy beamed and Spike hugged her.
"I think you're wrong about everything is all over." Cordy walked into the Hyperion. "I believe I deserve the father." Cordy smiled at Connor.
Tears started to fall from Rain's cheeks. "She made the Angel cry, which makes Mackenzie mad!" Mac breathed under her breath. "The Angel isn't supposed to cry makes Mackenzie mad, Con is sad that makes Mackenzie mad." A punch of papers started going in a tornado like figure. "Mackenzie mad!" Mac yelled and a chair flew right pass Cordy's head. "Mackenzie mad! Mackenzie don't like her!" Pens, knives, and chairs all started flying right towards Cordy.
"Mackenzie stop!" Connor grabbed her shoulder.
Everything fell to the ground. "Kenzie, how did you do that?" Rain still had tears going down her cheeks.
Mac pushed Connor's arm away. "Mackenzie still mad because the Angel still crying!" The knives all came back up and headed for Cordy.
Kay waved her hands at the knives and they froze. "Mackenzie Callie Emmet stop it right now!" She boomed and Mac turned to look at her.
"Mommy shouldn't make Mackenzie mad either." Mac shook her head and Kay started floating in the air. "Mommy, should undo whatever she just did." Mac glared.
"Kenzie, put your mom down. Just because I cry doesn't mean I won't be ok." Rain knelt down to the face the 5-year-old.
"But, you're an Angel you don't deserve to cry."
"Nobody does, but it happens." Rain picked up the girl as she lowered Kay to the ground.
"I'm sorry." Mac apologized. Kay unfroze the knives and they fell to the ground. "Where's Con?" Mac looked around for her brother.
"Cordy, she's gone." Buffy noticed.
"He's gone with her." Rain whispered.
(Did Connor really go with Rain? Also what's the deal with Mackenzie how did she have the much power? Review and the sequel will come a lot faster!)
