FIC: A Perfect Betrayal 1/?
Summary: After an accident nearly ends his life, the man responsible offers Connor something he can't refuse.
Author: Lorna )
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Dawn/Connor,
Notes: I've started a couple of Buffy fanfics, but never got past a couple pages. This takes place during the 5th season for Angel, Connor has a different last name b/c he is w/ his family, and he is still super strong though, and the 7th season for Buffy, but there is no First.. The spell for Connor to have a happy life may be a bit different than the one on TV. Dawn and Connor are juniors in high school. Takes place after "Underneath" for ATS and "Help" for BTS. I just realized I screwed myself over as if Angel is in season 5, Spike is over there, but if Buffy is in season 7, he should be there. I'm going to write a prequel to this, perhaps a prequel, about Spike moving to LA. I'm not the brightest star in the sky, so forgive me.

Chapter One
SAN FRANCISCO
There was something empty, something missing in Connor's life. Nothing big. Or small. He just wasn't sure what it was. He had felt this emptiness inside of him for awhile, and it was starting to really get to him.
Connor Conceitti tapped his pen against his notebook, leaning back on his chair, as he tried to solve the calculus problem he'd been stuck on for the past twenty minutes. It didn't matter what angle he came at, the answers he came up with made absolutely no sense.
He sat forward, all four legs of the chair now touching ground. Closing his notebook, he shoved it into his book bag and zipped it up. He could just get the answer from Traci tomorrow in English.
The phone rang. After a couple of rings, it stopped.
"Connor, phone for you," his mother called.
Connor picked up the phone in his room. Why hadn't they called him on his cell phone?
"Hello?" he asked.
"You screening me on your cell?" A female voice greeted in a teasing tone.
Connor checked his cell. "It was turned off. So what's up, Ella?"
"Well, my parents are going to be away this weekend, and I thought maybe you could come over," she said.
He shrugged. "Cool. Party at your house."
"Or, it could just be the two of us," her voice held a hint of slyness to it.
Connor grinned. He loved spending time with his girlfriend of two years. "So what time do your parents leave tomorrow?" he asked.

"My answer is no, Dawn. End of discussion," Buffy cut into the pizza and took a slice. Dawn took two.
"Why not? If I get a job at the mall, a very well-paying job, I might add, and work enough shifts, I'll be able to pay for a lot of my college tuition when the time comes," Dawn didn't understand why Buffy was against this job.
"Let me count thy reasons," Buffy retorted. "One, you stole from half of the stores in those malls-"
"It's 'let me count thee ways," Dawn interrupted. "And the kleptoness was years ago. Besides, they probably won't remember, what with the security guards nabbing a different shoplifter nearly every week," she pointed out.
"-Two, you failed your driver's test. Twice," Buffy looked at her sister, who shrugged. "You'd need me to drive you there and I am pretty busy."
"Third time's a charm. Ok, ok," Dawn said, seeing the look she got, "I'm better at driving and practicing more. Next time, I'll definitely pass. And I can always take the bus, although the bus fare would add up."
"Three, if you work too much, your grades will slip, and so will your GPA and any scholarships you might receive, therefore all your slaving away will be for nothing."
"Over exaggerate much?" Dawn asked. "And look at you, you had slaying and homework in high school, and you did just fine, and went to college."
"I had to drop out of college after Mom died," Buffy reminded Dawn. "And, last but not least, you're not supposed to pay for your own college education, dummy. I am."
"Things haven't been exactly been smooth here, money wise," Dawn told her sister. They were both awkwardly silent for a moment.
Just as Buffy started to say something, the door slammed shut and Xander walked in, and his eyes lit up at the sight of pizza. "Hey guys. I knew I smelled something heavenly," he rubbed his hands together. "I'm starving."
"Hey Xander, help yourself. It's a large," Dawn told him. She returned her attention to Buffy, who greeted her friend with a smile.
"We can talk about it later," she told her younger sister gently.
"Talk about what later?" Xander asked, his mouth full of pizza. He spit it out. "Agh, hot pizza. Burned my tongue," he panted, imitating a dog, and grabbed a can of Sprite.
"I want a job at the mall but Buffy won't let me," Dawn blurted out before Buffy could say anything.
"Aww. Why not, Buff?" Xander asked, once more through a mouthful of pizza.
"She stole from half of the stores there. Chances are she won't get the other job," Buffy told him what her other reasons were.
"Hmmm," Xander scratched his chin, poising as if he was thinking really hard. "What if Dawn works two or three times a week as long as her grades don't fall, she gets her license or a ride there, and half of each paycheck goes to her college fund, and the other half for her to use as she pleases?" He suggested. "As long as it doesn't involve male strippers," he nudged a giggling Dawn.
The Summers' looked at each other. "Well, I suppose that might be ok, as long as you keep your grades up," Buffy said slowly.
Dawn ran to Xander and hugged him. "Thankyouthankyouthankyou," she screeched in his ear."
