The Potential
Author: Pumpkin Belly
A/N Ok in the last chapter Dawn found out how Conner felt about her being a potential and they both shared a little about themselves. Dawn and Conner finally kissed. Yea!!! AND OMG IM SO SORRY FOR THE WAIT but fanfiction.net wouldn't let me log in and I finally got it to work so here's your story REVIEW
Dawn and Conner walked the few blocks to the hotel. When they got there Cordeila and Angel were waiting for them on the couch.
"Where have you too been?" Cordeila demanded walking up to Dawn and Conner who quickly untangled their hands from each other, but not quick enough. Angel had seen there hands together and now had a look of deep thought on his face.
"We took a tour like you told us to do. On our way back some vampires attacked us. Me and Dawn took care of them don't worry." Conner explained calmly.
"Oh, well I'm glad that you two are ok," Cordeila's resolve to be angry at the two teenagers was fading "But you shouldn't have been out after dark."
"I'm sorry Cordeila" Dawn said not wanting to get on anyone's bad side her first night in a new place.
"Dawn its ok. Conner knows the rules here." Angel said speaking up for the first time since Dawn and Conner came through the door. "I think you two should go get some sleep. Cordeila wants to take Dawn shopping tomorrow and Conner you will be going with them"
"What, why do I have to go shopping with them?" Conner whined
"Because Angel is sunlight impaired and you have super strength so you can carry our bags" Cordeila volunteered. "Oh and because we love the pleasure of your company" she added with a smile.
Conner looked at his dad for help but found nothing. "Ugh fine I'll go with you guys, but only because I see no way of getting out of it."
"Goodie shopping with our personal bag holder" Dawn said getting excited about shopping and having Conner come with.
"I can't believe I let myself get corner into that one" Conner mumbled on his way up to bed
"I think I'm gonna go up to bed now, see you guys in the morning goodnight" Dawn said heading up to her bedroom.
As Dawn passed Conner's a jarred door she couldn't help herself. She knocked lightly on the door and poked her head in.
"Hey," Conner said when Dawn came in the room
"Hey" Dawn said back. Conner walked over to Dawn and gently pulled her in for a kiss. Dawn did nothing to stop this. The simple kiss Conner had intended lasted a little longer then at first though. Conner suddenly pulled away from Dawn very quickly.
"What" Dawn said and then noticed that Conner was looking at the door. Cordeila and Angel were standing in the doorway.
"Well you really are your father's child going after a Summers' women. Jeez what is it with you guys." Cordeila said showing her lack of tact.
Both, Conner and Dawn's, faces were red with embarrassment.
"What is going on?" Angel said, the lack of anger in his voice made Conner nervous.
"Nothing, really, nothing is going on, I mean it was something but nothing, really nothing is going in here no sir re, I mean," Dawn paused in her babble to take a breath and then added nervously "How much did you guys see?"
"Oh we saw enough to know that you and Conner had been kissing for over a minute," Cordeila said making Dawn's face an even darker red.
Dawn had a look of nervousness on her face and was looking around an awful lot trying to distract herself and see how much trouble she was in. Conner on the other hand though embarrassed at first now looked very calm.
"So what's gonna happen to us?" Dawn said after a short silence that made her even more uncomfortable.
"Why would anything happen to you?" Angel asked Dawn sounding very calm for a father that just caught his son making out with a girl.
"Well it's just that when Buffy caught me kissing this guy last year she totally flipped and I just thought that you would do the same and I really don't want that to happen and I want to be able to stay here with you guys even though I didn't want to come her in the first place." Angel interrupted Dawn
"Whoa slow down Dawn. It's ok I'm not mad and neither is Cordeila. We are not going to kick you out. Nothing bad is going to happen to you."
"What is going to happen though?" Conner said speaking up for the first time since they were caught.
"Well before we can know what we are going to do about this we have to know what is happening between you 2. Why don't you both sit down?" Angel said indicating to the bed.
Both Dawn and Conner sat down making sure there was space between them.
"Ok. Conner what is going on between you and Dawn" Angel said directing his question at Conner knowing that if he asked Dawn that they would be here until next Tuesday.
"Umm well I've kinda liked Dawn since I first saw her and when we went on our tour today I told her how I felt and she felt the same way so it was good and we decided that we both want to like each other together." Conner said trying his best to make some kind of sense but not sure if he did.
"Well that is teenagers for you they can't truly explain something for an adult to understand" Cordeila mumbled loudly to Angel.
"Were you two going to tell us?" Angel asked the both of them
"We weren't really sure how you guys would react and since all this happened today we weren't going to tell you until we knew ourselves but I guess you kinda saw us kissing so that means you know so we don't have to tell you anymore but at some point in our lives we were going to tell you." Dawn stated
"Well it's good to know that before you died you were going to tell us." Cordeila said in a light voice letting the two teenagers know that she wasn't mad.
"So you two are together?" Cordeila asked
"Umm"
"Well" Conner and Dawn said at the same time. They exchanged looks and Conner said "Yes I guess this means that we are together."
"Oh my gosh Dawn I'm so happy Yea" Cordeila said acting more like a teenager then Conner's surrogated mother. Cordeila moved from her chair near the bed to Dawn and started hugging her.
"So you aren't made?" Dawn said in a happy voice
"Oh course not." Cordeila said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"We're not mad Dawn don't worry, but I think its time that you both went to bed." Angel said
"Ok Night" Dawn said walking out of Conner's room and into her own.
Cordeila came in a few seconds later and leaned against the door jam
"I'm very happy that you and Conner are together and even though I love Conner and all I want you to be careful." Cordeila said
"Don't worry I will be careful but I don't think I will have anything to worry about, except for the group of demons trying to kill me." Dawn laughed
"Goodnight Dawn"
"Goodnight Cordeila"
As Dawn got ready for bed she didn't see the pair of eyes that watched her threw the window and she didn't see the demon that was hiding the corner.
Dawn came out of her bathroom all set to go to bed and have sweet dreams but the demon had other ideas. As soon as Dawn came out of the bathroom she was thrown to the ground.
After the initial shock of getting attacked Dawn screamed for help. She struggled with the demon for a few seconds before Conner was there to help her.
Conner ran right to Dawn and started hitting the demon. The demon didn't have to time to fight back before Conner snapped his neck with a sickening crunch.
Dawn ran into Conner's arm after the demon fell.
Angel found the 2 wrapped in each other's arms, Conner trying to comfort Dawn as she cried, and the dead demon lying on the ground.
A/N I know it took awhile for me to get this up but I started high school and I have a lot of homework and my mom made we do after school activity. Which I did and it was an acting thing so I was in a play. Buts its almost over so I'll have more time hopefully to write. Reviews make things happen quicker though. *Smiles*
