Song: The Beach Boys-Don't Worry Baby

(Just to let you know this is like a month later and you will find that out because I wrote it below. So, Connor and Rain are taking a break will they get back together? Mallory's dead will Tyler find somebody else or just forget about love? Enjoy!)

It had been almost a month since Connor has seen Rain she called him a couple times to check on how everyone was doing or just to check on the next big bad but they didn't talk about their relationship because Connor understood she needed time.

Now the Chapter really begins...

"Connor, do you want to come with us to the Halloween dance?" The teenager looked up from his book at Lela and Ecks he was in the library part of the hotel.

Ecks had a cast on his arm it had been broken when he was trying to save Lela. "Sure, I guess." The Destroyer stood up from his chair.

"She'll be there." Ecks winked.

"She is probably over me, I haven't talked to her in a week." Connor sighed. "By the way how is she?" He sat back down.

"Do you want the month or just the week?" Ecks and Lela sat on the couch.

"The month." Connor sat forward.

"She wore just black and red for a couple weeks, she said she was mourning Mallory but I knew better she was mourning and depressed. Well in the mid 2nd week she telling us of her nightly patrols. 3rd week she starts smiling and actually looking like she owns other clothes then her black and red wardrobe. This week she starts talking to normal people." Ecks shrugged.

Well its been building up inside of me
For oh I don't know how long
I don't know why
But I keep thinking
Something's bound to go wrong

"She's not happy she's said she misses your touch and smile." Lela leaned on Ecks. "She told me that if she was apart from you any longer she'd jump off a cliff." The SIT laughed. "It's funny in a sweet scary suicidal way."

"So, then why hasn't she called?" Connor was lost.

"She's the girl and she was the one who got hurt why haven't you called her?" Ecks gave Lela smile. "Girls like to think guys care about them too." The couple linked hands.

"She wants me to call her? But she wanted the break."

"Exactly, so I'm glad you stood strong and didn't give in." Ecks nodded.

"Lela, you just told me she wants me to care but Ecks your saying I shouldn't?" Connor looked confusingly at the two.

"Well, I'm not telling you to not care I'm just saying if she wants space give her space." Ecks looked at his watch. "We should get ready."

"What are you two wearing?" Connor followed them out the library.

"I'm going as a princess and he's going as a prince."

"Yeah, so you can borrow my soccer letterman's jacket." Ecks led the way to his room.

"You two are matching. What's Rain wearing?"

"Justin do I look ok?" Rain asked her brother who was going as Jason.

"You look amazing." Justin gleamed at his sister whose hair was down and she was in Buffy's red riding hood costume.

"I told her she looked wonderful." Buffy handed Rain the basket.

"Why do you need that?" Ryan questioned his younger sister.

"Weapons." Rain lifted the cloth.

"Let's go the other are waiting."

"It's a good think it's a community dance so they could come." Rain led the way downstairs to the living room where everyone waited.

"Ryan, Rain go take you friends to the van." Jewels gave the keys to Ryan.

"Can I drive?" Ryan asked.

"I don't know can you?" Jewels giggled.

"May I drive?" Ryan rolled his eyes at his mom.

"No, we have other people with us."

"I'll see you all late." Justin kissed his moms' cheek.

"I'll be going too." Buffy stood and kissed Dawn's forehead. "Have fun and be safe." She left and the 7 teens went outside to the van followed by Jewels.

But she looks in my eyes
And makes me realize
And she says "Don't worry baby"
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby

Connor walked into the ballroom looking around. "Tor, it the crazy witches boyfriend." KayLee tapped her shoulder.

"Tristian said they were on a break." One of the popular guys took a drink of punch.

"Our costumes match totally perfect." Tor smiled she was a cheerleader and Connor wearing Ecks lettered jacket. Tor walked over to him as Lela and Ecks came and stood next to Connor. "Hi, it's Connor right?" She tossed her hair over her shoulder.

"There she is." The Destroyer pointed to where his slayer talked to Tyler.

"Hello, it's rude not to answer someone when they talk to you." Tor snapped and Connor stared at her.

"Do I know you?" He looked at her strangely.

"Whoa, ok you fall in love with a freak of nature but you don't remember me?" The popular girl shrieked.

"She looks mad." Ecks tapped Connor's shoulder and he looked over at Rain who was glaring.

Connor looked back at Tor with an icy glare. "She's not a freak of nature." He growled and pushed past the blond.

Tor turned watching the teenage boy walk away but abruptly turned back around when she heard snickering. "You sure know how to get them to be yours Tor." Lela pulled her boyfriend past the cheerleader.

"Remember I had Ecks first." Tor stomped back over to her friends.

"Hey, it's not what it looked like." Connor walked up to Rain who wore a blank expression.

Everything will turn out alright
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby

She gave him a soft smile. "I wasn't glaring at you I was glaring at her." They stood in a moment of silence.

"You didn't call I thought maybe you didn't want to talk to me anymore." Connor looked down.

"I was afraid." Rain's voice was barely audible.

"Afraid of what?" The Destroyer met her gaze.

"Of myself, of you, of love, of everything." The teenage slayer grabbed his hand. "But I'm not scared anymore."

"I missed you." He smiled.

"Same here." Rain gave a small laugh.

"Would you like to dance?" Connor asked as a slow song started.

"With you I'll do anything." She let him lead her out to the dance floor.

They danced in silence for a couple of seconds before Connor spoke up. "So, when you said you weren't scared anymore does that mean you're coming back?" He looked into her crystal blue orbs.

"I don't know Connor I mean I don't know if I'm ready." Tor and a tall slender teenage boy interrupted their conversation.

"What do you want Tor?" Rain glared at the blond.

I guess I should've kept my mouth shut
When I started to brag about my car
But I can't back down now because
I pushed the other guys too far
She makes me come alive
And makes me wanna drive
"I wanted to introduce Connor to my boyfriend. Connor this is Tristian, Tristian this is Connor and you know Rain right?" Tor gave the slayer a cheeky smiled.

"Yeah, you're in my chem class right?" Tristian combed his brunette hair out of his face with his hand.

Rain nodded then glared at Tor. "Are you done now?" She said through gritted teeth.

"As if. I wanted to ask if I could cut in and you can dance with Tristian."

Rain looked at Connor who shrugged. "Only for a second." Rain moved away from Connor.

Tristian reached out for Rain's small hand. "I can't believe this." Tristian sighed as Rain and him danced.

"You're telling me." They smiled at each other. "I must of drove you to some crazy blond whore because I know Tor and me are not the same at all so you had to have changed tastes after me." Rain looked in to his gray lonely eyes.

"Yea, after one date with you I decided I would go to the bimbo cheerleader you know how football guys are and being the head quarterback she just had to be with me see not every girl is like you they appreciate football players."

The Amazon nodded at the football player. "I'm sorry I broke your heart Tristian but I'm in love with Connor." Rain looked down.

"It's ok I have to admit I'm not over you though, Rain your so different it's a good different your a strong person, cute, intelligent, funny..."

"Yet, I keep falling on my face. I'm not perfect like you try to make me to be."

When she says "Don't worry baby"
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Everything will turn out alright
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
"I know but your close enough." Tristian looked into the blue eyes. " Connor seems interesting." He decided to switch the subject.

"Connor, that's right." Rain pulled away looking for him and the blond cheerleader, she spotted him through the couples and reached them as the song ended. "Ok second is up." The Amazon put her hands on her hips.

"See you around." Tor gave Connor a flirty smile.

"Um...I think we need to talk." Connor grabbed the slayer's arm.

"What is it?" Rain sat down at a table.

"I can't take it I need to know if you want to keep going or if you would rather be with Tristian." Rain looked confused. "I'm making an offer Rain if you want to keep our relationship going be at the Hyperion at 8 pm tomorrow night if you're not there it's over, it's to hard for me to wait and it's unfair." He looked at the stunned teenage girl.

"So, this is a...um take it or leave it...it deal?" She stuttered.

"Yeah, I guess so." Connor walked away.

"What's wrong girl?" Cammie asked Rain.

"Everything." The slayer's head dropped to the table.

"We're here for you." Tyler rubbed her back.

"Thanks." Came a muffled reply.

"Do you want to be with Connor?" Ecks stood next to his best friend.

Next Night Couple Minutes before 8....

Connor sat on the couch in the lobby. "Hey Connor." Came a female voice and the looked up to see Cordy and Doyle.

"We came to say goodbye." Doyle looked at the Destroyer.

"Watch over us since your going to be higher beings." Angel called from the stairs.

"See you later Angel buddy." Doyle wave to him.

"Good luck." Cordy smiled at Connor.

She told me "Baby, when you race today
Just take along my love with you
And if you knew how much I loved you
Baby nothing could go wrong with you"
Oh what she does to me
When she makes love to me

The two left the Hyperion. Buffy, Spike, Darla, Kay, Mac, Ecks, and Lela joined Angel at the stairs. The clock stuck 8 and Connor sighed. "She's not come is he?" He looked at his family and friends.

"Wait a little longer sweetie." Darla smiled.

5 minutes after 8 everyone turned to the door as it opened and in walked Fred and Gunn. "She isn't here?" Fred asked with sincerity.

Connor shook his head no and the couple walks over to the stairs to sit with the others. 10 minutes after 8 Faith, Marshall, Hailie, Casey, and Kyle walked in. "Hey kid she hasn't come?" Faith looked around.

"No, I don't think she's coming either." Connor sighed.

"You'll be all right with out here." Marshall nodded.

The 5 joined the others b the stairs. 12 minutes after 8 Dawn, Mercury, Tyler, Chris, and Bradley walked in. "She isn't here? We called her house she isn't home." Chris looked around oddly.

"I called her cell no one answered." Dawn shrugged.

The 5 teens joined the other hopeful people. 15 after 8 Connor stood up grabbing a stake off the coffee table. "She's not coming I'm going to go patrol." He walked towards the door with his head down.

Everyone at the stairs gasped which brought Connor's head up. Rain walked to him and pulled him to her for a passionate kiss. "I'm sorry I'm late it took me forever to get here." Rain smiled at Connor.

"I know what you mean." He pulled her in again for a passionate kiss.

And she says "Don't worry baby"
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Everything will turn out alright
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby

(What you didn't actually think I was going to pull them apart did you? Don't worry they'll have more drama and I bet you all can't wait! Any who I'll defiantly need some reviews before I continue.)
