The Potential

Chapter 6

Author: Pumpkin Belly

A/N Ok here is the 6th chapter.  Last Chapter Conner and Dawn took a tour of the town.  Conner is interested in Dawn and Dawn is interested in Conner but they have done nothing.  Dawn has told Conner that she is a potential slayer and maybe more.  Read on to find out what happens.

"Whoa" was all Conner had to say.  He had thought that Dawn was more or less normal.  Well has normal as you can be when you're the sister to a slayer.  Now she was telling him that she might be a slayer. 

"Are you freaked?" Dawn asked Conner as he just stood in front of her looking at her.

"No" Conner said, "I'm just surprised.  That's all.  Surprised."

"Please don't tell anyone.  I don't want anyone to know.  Everyone will make a big deal and I don't want that.  I just want to be Dawnie.  Not Dawnie the Vampire Slayer." Dawn looked hopeful at Conner hoping he wouldn't tell anyone.

"I won't tell anyone. Don't worry." Conner said laughing a little at the look on Dawn's face as she waited for the answer, "I already told you I wouldn't tell before you told me."

"But sometimes people change their minds and then things get all screwed up and I don't want that." Dawn defended herself.

"Don't worry.  I wouldn't do something like that.  We should get back everyone will start to worry." Conner said

"Why would they worry?  I'm here with you and from what I saw you are a very good fighter." Dawn asked

"Well Angel and Cordy worry a lot because I was kidnapped." Conner told Dawn

"Oh I heard about that bummer you missed out on a childhood." Dawn said starting to move closer to Conner.  "You never got to go to kindergarten or hang out with all the other kids. I didn't either cause of the key thing I just have the memories of doing that stuff.  I didn't really do that." Dawn finished.  During her ramble she had moved next to Conner. 

Conner had taken her hand in his.  All he could think of was how right it felt. 

"Yea that must suck remembering but knowing you didn't really do that stuff." Conner leaned in closer to Dawn.

"Yea it does" Dawn smiled and leaned in towards Conner. 

Their first kiss was great. 

'It feels so right' thought Conner as he pulled away from Dawn.

"Wow" Dawn said not knowing what to say to Conner

"Umm I've never done that before.  I'm sorry" Conner started to apologize.

"Don't be." Dawn said pulling him to her to kiss him again.

"Dawn I know we just meet but I really like you" Conner said after they finished there kiss. 

"I really like you to Conner, I think we should get back now" Dawn said

"Yea it's getting late." Conner said taking Dawns hand in his as they started walking back to the hotel.

A/N Ok I know that the chapter was short but I wanted to get Dawn and Conner to kiss and I didn't have a lot of time.  But I had to do this.  So next chapter find out how the fang gang reacts to Dawn and Conner being together.  And another attack makes everyone nervous.
