Summary: If anything can happen in a minute, how many things can happen in
a week? D/C angst.
A/N: I would say this takes place kind of after Buffy's Season 6, only Tara
is alive, and after Angel Season 4's opener and Connor is back in the
mansion and Cordelia is back, without the memory loss, but she and Angel
are not together.
Day 1
Connor walked out of the living room and into the kitchen of the Summers residence. He opened the fridge and took out a can of soda for himself. Wesley was in the living room with Giles and Buffy. They had come that morning to research on a demon that was terrorizing L.A. Angel didn't want Connor to go, but Connor had wanted to get away, instead of being cooped up in the hotel, and Fred had finally convinced Angel to let him go. No way Connor was going to miss an opportunity to meet his Dad's old girlfriend. He had decided she was nice, but quiet and looked constantly.tired.
The research had bored Connor and Xander and Anya had left. Connor noticed that Xander seemed to hate him from the very first moment they arrived, but he thought Anya was cool. And that was even before Giles told him that she was an ex-demon. Now, with an empty can of soda, and absolutely nothing to do - Connor knew Angel would kill Wesley if he went out on patrol - he went upstairs. Buffy said she stayed with her sister, Dawn, and her friends Tara and Willow.
Once he had reached the landing, Connor was about to walk down the hall when out of one of the doors appeared a pretty girl with long brown hair and blue eyes. He stared at her, unable to say anything and she started back.
"Hi," she said finally.
"Hi."
"Who are you?"
"Connor."
"Right." They both stayed silent for a bit. "Um, that actually doesn't tell me much, including why you are in my house or why you are staring at me."
"Oh, I came with Wesley, we've been at the magic shop all day looking up stuff and then Buffy brought us back here - "
"Angel sent Wesley. So then, you know Angel."
"Yeah, I'm his son."
"His son?!"
"Yeah," Connor nodded and as the girl started to laugh a little he noticed that all she was wearing was a pale blue tank top and shorts. Very short shorts.
"I'm Dawn," she said. "Buffy's sister."
"Oh, right."
"So how's the research going?"
"Uh, I dunno. I wasn't paying much attention," Connor admitted sheepishly. She laughed again. He noticed she looked even prettier when she laughed. If that was even possible.
"So you were just bored and decided to go and look about the house?"
"Pretty much."
"Well, as you've probably noticed it's pretty small and boring."
"I like it. Small is good."
Dawn smiled lightly.
"So," Connor asked her, "Where you going downstairs?"
"No, actually, I was just headed down there." She pointed to the door at the end of the hall. "I'm going to bed so I was gonna, brush my teeth."
"Oh. And that's your room?" He pointed to the door she had just come out of.
"That's right. Why?" She asked, seeing how he looked slightly confused.
"It's just Buffy said she stayed with you and two of her friends but if that's the bathroom there would only be three bedrooms."
"Oh," Dawn smiled. "Well, Willow and Tara, they share."
"Share?"
"They're lesbian, actually."
"Oh. I see."
Dawn smiled and Connor stood in contemplation, until he heard Wesley call him from downstairs.
"I - I better go down," he said. "And you - you should brush your teeth and go to bed."
"I will," she said.
Yet, neither moved from where they stood.
"Are you guys staying over?" she asked him.
"We're staying at Giles', but we're coming back here tomorrow morning."
"Oh, okay. So then, I'll see you tomorrow."
"Yeah. Tomorrow."
"Bye," she said.
"Goodnight."
And then they both walked off in their separate directions.
