MAYHEM
NOTE: If I owned any of these Angel characters then the world would be a much better place.
A/N: Did I accidentally call my "muse" my must? That was embarrassing. I really need to start looking at these chapters before I publish them. But I'm so lazy that I'll probably forget to do it again. You guys have to keep in mind that I was on a little "vacation" and I'm still a little rusty with writing. I didn't write as much as I should have. Then there was that whole final exams I had to go through. Also how is one of my characters a stereotype? No one has just one plain out personality. I know I don't. So why should I write like other authors? You reviewers can feel free to answer that. I get the feeling that one of you will. And I'm open to the harsh reviews. Listening to them is like listening to a teacher. I'm just going to get lost in a daydream, anyway. But, hey, go ahead and bring them. All and all I've ranted too much. Now on with the story.
CHAPTER 3As the last bell went off Dawn re-entered the library, glancing through the bookcases, as if she were on the hunt for someone. She did not see Richard. However she did see something that made her want to puke, laugh out loud, or just turn around and run. Connor sat on one of the tables, Tammy sitting in his lap, making out. Dawn's body made a decision for her about she felt as her stomach did a double somersault at the disgusting sight. She tapped Connor on his bush haired head. He did not respond. Dawn slapped him across the back of his head.
"Hey!" Connor pulled back from the kiss. As he reached back to rub his head, he glared at Dawn who was smirking slightly.
"Oh, hi, Dawn," said Tammy sheepishly, an repentant gleam in her eyes, noticing her friend.
"Hi," Dawn said in a dry voice, one hand on her hip, using her free hand to flip her long hair. Glancing at Connor, she sighed, "Ready?"
"Give me a minute, will ya?" Connor said through clenched teeth. Dawn always interrupted him kissing Tammy. It wasn't like he did it to her...with that guy...
"Let me think," Dawn tapped her chin, pausing. Her's and Connor's blue eyes flashed each other when they met again. "No."
"It's okay Connor," Tammy said as she slid off his lap. "We would have been busted by someone anyway," giving him a hug and a kiss on the cheek, she ducked behind the biography section.
"Look, Connor. When you're finally ready to go, I'll be at the main entrance." Dawn folded her arms and turned, stalking away, not bothering to give Connor another look.
Tammy surfaced out from behind one of the stacks, "Is she gone?" she whispered. Connor nodded. "You guys have some serious brother and sister issues," she said as she gave him another kiss.
Connor rolled his eyes. "How many times do I have to tell you? She's not my sister."
Tammy chuckled as he glared at her. "Aren't you cute? Would you rather have her as an aunt?"
He shuddered at the thought. "No. She's just my stepmother's evil sister that I have to put up with until she's of legal age and we can boot her out of the house." After a moment he added, "And I'm not cute."
Tammy laughed a little.
"What?" Connor wanted to know.
"You're even cuter when you deny it."
Connor was prepared to argue but was caught off-guard by Tammy's gentle lips making contact with his. Connor soon became involved with the kiss. He wrapped his hands in her red hair with his hand and soon all thought of Dawn left his mind. Finally Tammy had to break off from him, catching Connor by surprise.
"Sorry, Connor," she apologized forming a smile. "But I have to get home."
"Now?" Connor whined, his eyes filled with unwillingness.
Tammy gave him puppy dog eyes. "You don't want my parents to come to school and humiliate me, do you?"
"Yeah," Connor replied sincerely. Tammy raised an eyebrow at him. Connor had to give in. "No."
Tammy kissed his forehead and whispered, "Spring break and you... two very good combinations."
The young couple left the library. Dawn stood with her arms crossed, an impatient look written on her face, at the main entrance. Tammy quickly caught her friend's angered expression and turned to Connor.
"Later," she said, giving Dawn a quick smile then looking at Connor again.
"Bye," said Connor reluctantly, clear that he didn't want his girlfriend to go.
Tammy said "bye," to Dawn and left out the door.
Connor walked over to the brunette. "You didn't have to do that you know. I don't bug you when you're making out with... what's his face," he began with a befuddled look on his face as he couldn't remember the name of who Dawn was currently seeing.
"His name is Richard," said Dawn matter-of-factly, playing with a strand of hair that had fallen in front of her left eye. "Plus you couldn't catch me in his lap being his little private dancer. Newsflash, Con, that's a little gross-esque and some of us want to keep down their lunch."
"Shut up," said Connor irritated.
"You," Dawn countered childishly.
"You," Connor shot back persistently.
"You, infinity," Dawn yelled. She snickered and ran out quickly through the front door.
"Infinity plus two!" Connor shouted, chasing her.
Meanwhile Skylar sat on a bench outside of her principal's office, staring at the new shoes Buffy had bought her. Gunn, the one that had come to pick Sky up sat in hte office talking to the principal. Skylar pictured her chubby, gray haired principal going on and on about rules and regulations, like the talk he'd had with her earlier, even though Skylar really didn't know what regulations were. She suddenly chortled at the thought of tossing that girl's head in the toilet for the third time that day. Gunn walking out of the office cut her laughter short.
"What's so funny?" the black man asked, raising an eyebrow at the little girl in front of him.
"Nothing," Skylar replied, an angelic look on her face, trying hard to smother her laughter. Then, turning as serious, or as serious as any seven-year-old could be. "Am I in trouble?" she asked quietly, her eyes clearly filled with fret.
"I'd get you out of it," Gunn promised, kneeling down to her level. "If anyone asks...you have a bad reflex that could go off at any time." He smiled as Skylar began to giggle.
"Thank you, Uncle Chuck!" Skylar said as she threw her arms around his neck. She was the only one that could get away with calling him Chuck. Gunn hated the name but loved the kid who always used it.
Gunn turned around and signaled for her to climb on. Skylar did as she was directed and squeezed his neck. Holding her tightly, Gunn stood up.
"What do you say we keep this to ourselves?" Gunn suggested, meaning he wouldn't tell Angel or Buffy of the incident.
"Yup!" Skylar agreed.
"Duck," Gunn warned as they passed under a doorway.
Back at the hotel everyone began to enter. When Gunn and Skylar got inside they saw that Connor and Dawn had beaten them home. Both teens sat on a couch watching Angel, Fred, and Buffy were all just standing around. An large, yet odd smile tugged at the corner's of Angel's mouth, as he ran up and scooped Skylar into his arms.
"Finally. My wonderful, wonderful family is home," he said joyfully.
The remark caught them all off guard.
"Honey, are you feeling all right?" Buffy asked, walking over to him, worry written over his face, her golden blonde hair hanging down her back.
Skylar reached out and felt her father's head. "He doesn't feel hot," Skylar told her mother significantly.
"I'm fine," said Angel, giving Skylar a little shake, causing her to yelp with joy. "But I do have a surprise."
Lorne came downstairs then, wearing a pair of headphones, connected to a portable CD player.
"Dawnie, I don't care what you say. I'm just not feeling this Janet Jackson girl. Plus have you seen her brother lately? And I thought I looked different." With a quick look around the room the green demon realized that the whole room was staring at him. He removed the headphones from his ears. "Oh, sorry. So what's new?"
"I have a surprise," Angel repeated, slipping his arm around Buffy cheerfully. "We're going to... Disney World."
The room looked completely stunned. Fred's jaw had even dropped open. Connor and Dawn exchanged a confused look. Lorne glanced at Gunn who just shrugged. Buffy stared at her husband, baffled as if he had just announced that the big bang was coming. Skylar, the only one in the room to have some sort of happy expression, smiled.
"Yay! Mickey Mouse!" she practically shouted.
A/N: Well, where was I supposed to send them? It's spring break and where is better to go than Disney World? Come on; don't act like you don't want to go. Anyway, please review and leave any suggestions that you want.
