Hey guys sorry for the delay but I had my finals this week and had to study. Was uninspired because of all the memorizing. Arrgh. Here's chapter 2 ENJOY!!!!

Chapter 2- Puppy Love

The next morning.

"Hey!" Dawn announced brightly as she came down the stairs wearing a sleeveless top and shorts. Then everyone respectively said their greetings to her and introduced themselves. She soon realized as she was relaying the highlights in Sunnydale, that the team here wasn't all that different than the Scoobies back home. Fred, she was a lot like Willow, she thought. Fred was a little geeky but nevertheless nice. Wesley, he was a lot like Giles, 'guess it's in every Watcher to have the same quality.' she let her mind trail off to the answer which is RESEARCH, PLAN, RESEARCH, RESEARCH. Gunn was sort of like Xander, he brought the sarcasm to the group. Though they are a lot alike she couldn't help but notice the differences between the two teams. Back home, the Scoobies treated her like a child while here they took her seriously, they listened to her intently. Aside from that the Scoobies back home were only nice to her because her sister was their friend who saved their lives on a daily basis. She could see that the Buffy's friends just sympathized her because her mom died and technically she wasn't anything but a life force that was formed into human because a bunch of monks didn't want a god who shall remain nameless wanted to get her to open a dimension and pretty much have hell on earth.

"So now, Willow's in a witchcraft rehab center in England." She continued her story bluntly. Then she looked at every one and their faces said it all- they were shocked that things had gotten that out of hand.

Wesley, feeling a bit uncomfortable changed the subject not so subtly "We killed a bunch of demons the other day" Then Gunn also feeling discomfort added "Yeah, it was some Lithgow demon" "Litvak, you're talking about an actor" Wesley corrected. Dawn started giggling at Wesley's comment.

Then Cordy came down the stairs with Angel. "So Dawn ready for our little spree?" Cordy asked. "Nope, not yet just give me about 20 minutes max." Dawn replied while climbing the stairs and continued "Oh yeah can we get back a bit earlier Connor said he'd show me around LA, you know through a teenagers eyes." Cordy raised her eyebrows and said "Somehow that makes me feel older than I am." "Hey with that said I feel like I gained about an extra 200 years." Angel joined in while everyone cracked up.

20 minutes later.

Dawn came down the steps wearing a blue halter sundress that brought out her eyes. Connor's jaw immediately dropped as he looked at her. 'Oh my god' he thought to himself. This was getting out of control he was falling for his father's first love's sister. And yet he didn't look away. It had been 10 minutes and he was still staring while the conversation kept going. He didn't have any comments because frankly, he didn't know what the hell they were talking about. Dawn caught him a couple of times practically drooling and just smiled he would look down and think how pathetic he was. As soon as she took her eyes off him he looked correction stared at her. He wanted to NOT look at her but his eyes wouldn't obey.

'Great work Dawn' she thought to herself. That halter dress sure got him. He couldn't take his eyes off her. She caught him a couple of time and smiled because he looked so cute looking down while a blush creeped up to his face.

'Now stop looking! You look like a creep just staring at her! Look away! LOOK AWAY NOW! He repeated over and over and over until Cordy's words finally got to him "C'mon Dawn we better get going got a busy day of shoppin ta do" "'Kay, bye guys" Dawn said glancing at all of them but glanced the longest at Connor.

Angel could see that look in his son's eyes- he knew that look, he knew that look well because he always had that look. for Cordy. This look. it's a look of desire- desire for who else. DAWN. He noticed their little flirting session this morning- Connor was staring at Dawn and when she caught him she'd smile then he would then they'd hold each others gazes until Connor looked down. Frankly, he liked Connor like this. at least he wasn't as obsessed with demons now that Dawn is around. Dawn being here was turning out to be not such a waste.
