Chapter 3

Dawn suddenly blinked. She looked around and saw that she was down a dark alley and no one was with her. No vampires or Connor O'Angel or dusty Spike. She had must have had a vision! What a stupid vision, though, because boys can't be Slayers!!

Spike came running out behind her. "Dawn, please forgive me for turning your sister into a creature of the night!"

Dawn turned around and hugged Spike. "It's okay Spike I'm just glad you aren't deader."

"Ok," Spike said, and they went back to the mansion.

"By the way," Dawn said on the way back to the mansion, "I have visions now."

"Oh, okay," Spike said.

They got back to the mansion and Dawn told Spike and Buffy all about her vision. Then Spike said that she had a vision about Connor O'Angel who had been Angel's son.

Then Connor knocked on the door.

"Uncle Spike!" Connor said, coming in and giving Spike a big hug.

"Connor!" Spike said, very happy to see his nephew/brother/grandfather/son. "I knew you would be coming soon, because Dawn had a vison!"

"Oh, cool," Connor said.

Dawn looked at Connor and fell in love. She was so glad that her vision had only been a vision because if it had been real she would have had to share Connor with Buffy and she didn't want to do that.

Connor looked at Dawn and fell in love. He loved her so much. She was beautiful and she reminded Connor of a song by Avril Lavigne but he didn't know all the words so he wasn't going to quote them.

"I'm sorry to tell you this, son," Spike said, "but Angel is dead."

"What?" Connor said. "My daddy is dead?" And he cried.

"It's okay," Buffy said. "We can bring him back to life like the evil lawyers brought your mother back to life!"

"Ok," Connor said. "And while we are at it, we can bring Darla back to life too. Wesley got her ashes together when I was born."

"I thought it was raining when you were born?" Spike said, the light of confusion and stupidity in his eyes. (Not Spike's stupidity, the stupidity of the statement of Darla's ashes being in a vial or an urn or something because for not_god's sake, it was raining when she was staked!)

"Well," Connor said, "some of it is mud."
