Hey guys! this is my fanfic hope ya like it!

Chapter 1-WELCOME TO HYPERION

Buffy walked through the doors of Hyperion with a favor to ask from Angel. See. after the death of Tara and Willow going all homicidal, she thought that maybe her sister, Dawn needed to be in a place that is not Sunnydale. The only place she thought of to be safe was at Angel's in LA.

She stopped in front of the door-she felt nervous, she didn't call Angel beforehand it was kind of putting him on the spot with this situation.

Angel saw her-his first love-Buffy, she was standing in front of the doors. She looked like she wanted something and couldn't think of the best way to ask. Knowing Buffy this was something big.

This was going to be weird, since she was with Spike (that traitorous asshole) he thought and he was with Cordy-WOW! Even thinking of her name brought a smile on his face actually everything about her- then he was brought back to reality when he heard the voice of the person who made him go to all ends just to be with her.

"Hey!" she said nervously. How could she ask him?

"Hey." He replied flatly trying to see what she was up to.

"So how's everything here in Sunnydale?" she asked trying to start small talk just to cut through the VERY thick atmosphere consisting of mainly- AWKWARDNESS. He was about to reply when she cut him off "Sorry. um. I know I started the small talk but I wanna stop beating around the bush um.. these past 2 weeks have been kinda rough with Tara's death, Willow going psychopathic and now in a witchcraft rehab center [(is that right?) she thought (whatever! Big picture)] and I was thinking since Dawn has kinda been shaken up with the dilemma that um. maybe she can stay here for about a couple of weeks-just 'til I get everything fixed" she asked him and she could see the confusion and shock going on in his head- the shock was kinda written all over his face.

"Uh." he replied still shocked. She just asked him to take care of her sister and that was just a bit too much Dawn was HER responsibility not HIS. He opened his mouth to say no when Dawn came in holding, sort of dragging a luggage with her.

"Hey!" Dawn said brightly, wow the air here was thick, she knew Buffy hadn't asked Angel about her staying there so her sister made her stay in the car but she got bored and now regretted ever leaving the vehicle. She just walked in on Angel about to say 'no' to Buffy's request, so now she just wanted to break the REALLY thick tension so she turned to the Slayer then to her ex then back at her dear old sis' and asked "You weren't done were you?"

Buffy was about to give Dawn a lecture about how she told her that she should stay in the car and only leave and ONLY leave it when she told her so but Angel cut her off and the next part shocked her.

"Yeah we were." he said. He looked at Dawn and saw that she looked worse than hell even if she had that big smile plastered on her face. "We were done because I was about to tell Buffy that you could stay here for a couple of weeks" he said.

"Really?" she asked in disbelief because she was about to bet her life that he wanted to say no right before Dawn walked in. She figured that maybe Cordy was keeping him happy enough for him to let a teenager stay here-then she remembered that he had a son and that he's eighteen now. How the life of knowing about the other worlds are COMPLICATED! She thought to herself.

"Yeah." he said honestly. "You can stay here" he said smiling at Dawn then she hugged him and whispered "I needed to get away from there and BUFFY! Thanks you rock!" he smirked at her remark- Buffy could be a handful.

Buffy noticed that Dawn whispered something to Angel because she saw how he smirked when she parted from him. She glared at Dawn and she replied with an innocent smile. Arrgh! Her younger sister was a BIG pain. Then she remembered her previous thought about Angel's son so she asked casually "where's everyone?"

"Oh. Fred is with Gunn- they're on an anniversary I think so you wont be seeing them 'til tomorrow and Wesley's at his apartment, but Cordy's in the basement with Connor, he's training her, I would but she claims my way's too complicated 'too much bending and stretching' as I quote her" he said smiling. Then he heard the Summer's sisters start giggling.

Wow at least the tension got thinner, Dawn thought. He wasn't this great before with his people's skills.

"Yep. that sounds like Cordy and you, I remember when you used to train me you were a pain there was always those complicated bends and stretches! I didn't complain 'cause I'm the slayer it wasn't such a problem but god your way IS complicated!" she said then breaking into giggles again.

"Hey." he whined "it may be complicated but at least I get to save the world with that technique" he said proudly then Dawn started laughing hysterically. "What?" he asked her, wondering what was so amusing about his defense.

"Nothing." she smiled deviously, then she saw him give her a look "Fine. its just amusing how now you get offended and defensive when I remember you used to be so practically 'dead to the world' I mean I never would have imagined you smiling let alone laughing and even to the point of joining the teasing ritual." she said matter-of-factly.

"I'm glad that I have changed for your amusement" he said sarcastically.

"No I like the new you at least you don't get to live up that much to your rep as brood boy" she said.

"'kay, well I better call the two, Cordy hasn't seen you two in a while and I can introduce you to my son- that phrase makes me feel old." he said jokingly.

"honey, you ARE old." Buffy replied.

After a while, Angel holding Cordy's waist with a teenager following behind them had emerged into the room.

Buffy felt like she forgot how to breathe because it felt like she had no air in her lungs. Then it occurred to her that they were together. 'You're so stupid' she told herself and plus you've got Spike- whoa where'd that thought come from. This even made her feel like whatever air she had left just pretty much got drained out.

Angel saw Buffy reaction to his affection towards Cordy and casually slipped his hand out of Cordy's waist and then he saw that Buffy started breathing again.

Connor saw the sisters and assumed the blonde was his dad's first love- Buffy ('huh? They said she was pretty eh. not really. Looks like a underweight cheerleader.' he thought) It was obvious she still had some feelings for his dad counting on the fact that she was holding her breath at the sight of his dad and Cordy together. Then suddenly his eyes drifted to the girl beside her, 'must be Dawn' he thought. She had long, brown hair tied in a high ponytail wearing a tank top and jeans- plain, but with her wearing it. WOW!

Dawn then caught a better glance at Angel's son, Connor and came to the very conclusion that he was hot. With his messy hair and deep brown eyes he looked so deep and romantic. 'This stay wasn't only for a vacation from Sunny- whatever.' she thought 'this trip could involve her with this guy. She'd DEFINITELY enjoy her stay here!' her mind exclaimed.

"Hey Buffy! Hey Dawn!" Cordelia said while breaking the silence and tension that now surrounded the lobby of the hotel. The air was SO thick that she wanted to cough because this just choked her. Everyone was silent and she thought that since there's 5 people that al least there'd be noise but no one was talking so she would be the one to break the silence that made her think that she could practically hear everyone's heartbeat.

"Hey!" Buffy choked out then regaining composure smiled her big Buffy smile and said "Well I gotta go. It's getting late and I still have vamps to slay at home and I still have to check up on everybody" then she turned to Angel and said "Thanks" full of sincerity. She then turned to Dawn and said "Be good" her sister nodded then she continued "DON'T bug them, DON'T get into trouble." Then she glared at her and replied "Thanks mom, I'll keep that in mind" full of sarcasm. Then she didn't resist giving a little chuckle and added "Call me if anything happens" then she hugged her sister. "Well bye!" she addressed everyone. Then they said their farewells in chorus.

Then Cordy called out "It was nice seeing you again" and Buffy replied sincerely "you too!"

"Hey Cordy! Don't take this the wrong way but I missed ya even though I know our memories are implants I do." Dawn said to Cordy then heard Angel hold back a smirk and glared at him. She really did miss Cordy, she was one of the Scoobies but wasn't at the same time it was like she was there but they really didn't need her and she could always relate to her and plus she was and is the nicest among Buffy's friends though from her little reaction she didn't look like she was liking Cordy that much.

Cordy smiled at Dawns remark and replied "Well I glad at least one of the people there missed me." sarcastically and added "I missed you too" then she hugged her.

Dawn smiled in return then replied "Buffy has been 'I-hate-the-Sunnydale- because-I-was-brought-back-from-heaven' these past few months and with the new situation the phrase 'I-also-hate-the-world-because-my-bestfriend-went- on-a-rampage-and-wanted-to-end-the-world-because-her-girlfriend-died-and-is- now-in-some-witchcraft-rehab-in-England'" she said while the couple started laughing.

"Why don't you go to your room because tomorrow there would be a whole day of shopping so save your energy, Gal!" she said right after she got a hold of herself. "why don't you give your luggage to Connor while he shows you to your room" she said the Connor replied full of sarcasm "I'm not a bell boy, Cordy"

"Hey!" Dawn said nervously to Connor. "Hey" he replied as he got her luggage and showed her to a room (one that was close to his) He couldn't get his eyes off her whoa. she really was WOW!- suddenly that is the only description for Dawn that fit her perfectly.

"So your Angel's son how's that like?" Dawn really didn't care about his answer she just wanted him to talk he had a really deep and hot voice.

"Well.it's kind of weird, I mean people call me 'miracle child' because technically I wasn't suppose to exist but Dar- I mean my mom found a loophole so now I'm here. But being a sister to the slayer sound like fun." he stated

"Well if you like to having a sister who acts like her life is such a drama and that everyone should treat her right because the world revolves around her because she saves it on a daily basis then fine that's cool" she replied sarcastically

"Sorry I hit a button didn't I?" he asked her pleadingly

"No you didn't its just I'm kinda pissed at her that's all but everything's peachy" she said brightly she didn't want to have that thick air of awkwardness and tension they had a while.

A few minutes later.

"Here's your room" he announced to her

"Wow! I get my own bathroom, I don't even have that at home!" she exclaimed gleefully.

Then she hugged me and I couldn't help but hug her back. Her skin was soft and smooth he observed. He didn't want to let her go but as soon as the hug started it ended. "Well I'm glad you liked it" he said smiling her optimism is intoxicating. She sat on her bed and he noticed that he felt colder without her in his arms. She then motioned him to sit beside her but he just leaned on the wall, he didn't trust himself to stay beside her on a bed. Then all of a sudden she grabbed his arm and placed him beside her. That one gesture sent electric jolts from his head to his toes.

Then as he sat there beside her talking for what seemed like forever but only about a couple of minutes laughing at how enchanting every minute with her was. She made every subject sound so animated and interesting. It surprised him how they had so much in common. It also hit him that she was the only person he could really talk to that was his age, who knew that there was another world filled with vampires and demons that was his age- 'scratch that,' he thought she was the only person who he could actually open up to. Then suddenly he gently held her hand and looked into her bright, blue eyes. He saw a mixture of different emotions shock and confusion to name a few but he also saw interest- for him. He was moving in- about to kiss her when reality hit him, he dropped her hands and her eyes jolted open filled with shock and hurt and curiosity. Then with every ounce of self-control he had he said "Um. I better get going. let you unpack. I still have to take a shower 'cause of the training." She was intoxicating and this room wasn't helping- alone, a bed, a really gorgeous girl. combined it made him want think of things. and if he stayed in here he did NOT trust himself enough to be here.

Then Dawn replied feeling the air get thicker as each second of silence passed "Sure." then out of no where it slipped "after Cordy and my shopping spree tomorrow why don't you show me around LA. you know where people our age hangs out. cool places." Then she regretted saying that he just rejected her and here she is begging him to 'show her around' like he would a part of her mind screamed then another replied 'if he doesn't like her then why is he smiling right after you asked him out' then the other side stayed silent. She noted what her mind was telling her and noticed that his face brightened up knowing that she wanted to spend time with him. 'She just practically asked you out!' his mind screamed. Then he felt his mouth curve into a smile and he replied "Sure I would love to show you around LA. See you tomorrow" he said as he left.

"Bye." Was her stunned response. He didn't reject her. She came to the very final conclusion: This vacation rocks! 1. Hot guy 2. NO Buffy and her drama 3. Be among someone who actually accepts her and not friends of her sister who are coerced to be with her and. 4. HOT guy!!!! She started jumping on her bed when a voice suddenly made itself known to her- she knew this voice. the voice that belonged to her annoying, bitch of a sister-Buffy/ the Slayer/ the Chosen One. bladibladiblah! The little voice said what most likely her 'beloved' sister would say about what was happening now 'this is bad. this is wrong. don't act on your feelings because he's Angel's son.' It was like her 'dear' old sis' has taken a permanent stay in her head- no. it wasn't enough that she had a permanent home in her life but did she really have to inhabit her mind! Arrgh! She sucks! How she is REALLY hating the Chosen One right now.
