In the following chapters I'm kind of gonna have a Cordy/Gunn, Angel/Fred, and Gunn/Fred friendship. Read this chapter, you'll see what I mean!

" Well Angel? Would you care to explain?" Wesley asked with disdain clearly written on his face. ' I don't know if we can deal with anymore Darla induced dreams. I don't think Cordelia could take being shut out of Angel's life again.' Wesley thought to himself.

Cordelia looked like her last nerve was going to burst. ' No amount of Versace, Armani, or Gucci is gonna save him if he's going to fall off the deep end with Darla. This time I'll make sure that skanky BLONDE whore doesn't come between Angel and his redemption ever again!' Cordelia silenly vowed to herself.

Gunn knew that Darla and Angel equaled badness. He wasn't in a hurry to repeat that part in dealing with sleepless grumpy and dangerous vampire again.

Fred on the other hand didn't really know what to make of this situation. Judging by her friends expressions on their faces that Angel having dreams that made him moan and groan was not a good thing. ' Darla must be the woman Angelus used to be rampage around Europe with. Oh, the files! I remember reading this! Angel and his Beige period! Yay, I remember! Wait, then this isn't good, is it?' Fred thought to herself.

" Um..." Angel stuttered out. Not really knowing what to say. He couldn't tell them about Cordelia, not yet. ' Wait, he could tell Fred! She seems to think highly enough of Me and Cordelia getting together. I mean, with all that Moira and Kyerumption talk. Maybe she'd understand!' Angel felt somewhat relieved to know that he could express his secret feelings to someone he knew was trustworty. But he didn't have enough time to contemplate about that, everyone was still waiting for an answer. Angel was about to tell them a lie an excuse anything to answer there question instead of revealing the truth, but then the Hyperion doors bursted open from a fireball.

' Thank you, thank you, thank you1 Whoever is out there looking out for me, Powers, God, whatever, just, Thank You!' Angel mentally praised. Now he had some more time to think of a better excuse or the gang might forget it all together.

All eyes were trained on the man that walked through the incinerated doors into the lobby. He was dressed in the same black on black ensemble that Angel usually wore, including the duster. He even looked a little like Angel a bit except he had a smaller frame and was shorter.

" Where are they!" The man forcefully asked, intending to get an answer.

" Where are who?" Wesley, ever the calm and collected man he was, asked the stranger.

" The Charmed Ones!" The stranger bellowed out.

" The What? I'm sorry, but we don't know anything about The Charmed Ones." Wesley stated, completely clueless to what the stranger wanted.

" Give them up and no one will get hurt." The man threatened.

This time Angel stepped up to the threat. He heard enough to know that the guy was willing to do anything to find what he was looking for. Even kill.

" You're right no one will get hurt, well except you." As soon as Angel finished his threat he charged head on in to the stranger. But before Angel could make contact the strange man just seemed to shimmer away. This caused Angel to land in a heap to the floor.

" Real smooth, Superman." Cordelia said with a bite to her tone.

Angel was still on the floor trying to figure out how the man just seem to disappear from thin air. When he heard Cordelia's remark, he quickly got to his feet, and dusted off his pants trying to look unfazed, not at all embarassed.

" The Charmed Ones?" Wesley thought out loud. " What or Who is it? I've never heard that title before? It must be important if there are people or demons, judging by the fireballs, out there to harm these Charmed Ones?" Wesley, going into watcher mode, made his way to his office, fully intending to look up any information on the Charmed Ones.

Angel, knowing exactly what Wesley intended to do now, figured he could finally make it out of the hotel before anyone saw him.

" Oh, I almost forgot about the demon from Cordy's vision. Maybe I should go and talk to Lorne maybe he'll know. Fred, how about you join me?" Before anyone could stop him or for Fred to respond to the invitation, he took her by the arm and hastily retreated to the sewers in a rush to get to Caritas.

Cordelia just stood in the middle of the lobby shocked that Angel left before he could answer about the dream. She was even more puzzled that he took Fred out of all people to go with him. ' I wonder what those two are up to? Either way, he is so in the dog house right now.' Cordelia thought to herself.

When Angel left with Fred to Caritas, she was left alone with Wesley and Gunn. Knowing that Weseley was going to be in his books, mainly, the whole day, that just left her with Gunn.

Gunn, with similar thoughts, asked Cordelia if she wanted to get a bite to eat. She nodded an ok and followed Gunn outside.

' Maybe I can finally talk to Barbie about the sexual tension between her and the vamp, cuz it's definately getting on my nerves that they are just so blind. Maybe I could finally get her to see how much the vamp digs her. Maybe even have her confess her own affections. I swear I will get them together if it's the last thing I do!' Gunn vowed to himself.

Cordelia, not knowing Gunn's secret plan to try to get her to reveal her affections towards Angel, followed Gunn, blindly, into his trap.

I know it's not that long but, the meeting between the two should be coming soon. Feedback is always appreciated! Tell me how I'm doing! Do you think the story is going somewhere?
