Act One
Scene starts with Connor waiting outside an office. He looks around as the
people pass him by. He seems overly anxious. An older man walks out of the
office. He has glasses and has a bald spot on the back of his head. Connor
immeadiately walks over to him.
Connor:
Professor Clarke, can I speak with you a moment?
Professor Clarke:
Only a moment, and not if it's about retaking the final.
Connor:
Professor, I had...family issues to deal with.
Professor Clarke:
So i've heard. Then a note or a phonecall to my office would've sufficed.
Then you could make it up, but you failed to do even that.
Connor:
Professor-
Professor Clarke:
No Connor. You missed the exam. Therefore I have no choice but to give you
a failing grade for it.
Connor:
Professor, I need this exam to stay in school.
Professor Clarke stood there, looking perturbed.
Professor Clarke:
Then you should've thought of that before you blatantly forgot about my
exam.
Connor:
I didn't forget, I-
Professor Clarke:
Your moment is over. I have students waiting. One's who actually showed up
for the exam.
The Professor leaves and Connor watches him go. When the professors out of
sight, Connor punches a hole through the wall.
Connor:
Sonofabit-
Scene cuts to Nina at the Hyperion's reception desk. She's sitting with her
legs up on the desk as she reads from a magazine. The main lobby doors
open, and Illyria and Gunn walk in. Spike and Angel walk in through the
sewer entrance. They converge on Nina.
Nina:
How was Yukelep demon killing?
Angel put two swords away, that were covered in yellow slime. Gunn
collapsed on the couch. Illyria walked up the stairs and disappeared from
view. Spike walked to the kitchen.
Angel:
Great minus the acid blood, flying horns, and spiked tail.
Gunn lifted his head.
Gunn:
Don't forget the venom bite, noxious gas, and killer death grip.
Spike walks back in with some pigs blood.
Nina:
So just for reference, who killed it?
Spike rolled his eyes.
Spike:
Mr. Im-so-powerful-because-I-have-Wolf-Ram-and-Harts-blood-in-me.
Connor walks in through the lobby doors. Hes still extemely pissed from
earlier events. Angel sees him and walks towards him. Nina gets up as well.
Angel:
Connor, are you ok?
Spike walks up the stairs.
Spike:
Here we go again into domestic glory...
Connor:
Im getting kicked out of school because I missed my exams.
Angel:
You missed your exams? Why?
Connor:
So you didn't get dustified by that big huge guy.
Gunn:
Hamilton?
Connor:
I think that was it.
Angel:
Great...now I cost you college. I'm sorry...You shouldn't have had to
come...i'm sor-
Connor:
Save it. Family comes first, remember.
Angel nods but is obviously still mad with himself.
Connor:
So...you think maybe I can crash here? Theres this stupid thing about non-
students living in campus dorms. Apparently, it's not allowed.
Angel:
Of course you can...but wouldn't you rather go back to your-
Connor:
My fake parents? Yeah that wouldn't be such a great idea. When Wes
destroyed that thingy everything went back to normal. They know i'm not
their son. They won't even answer my calls.
Angel:
You're always welcome here...
Connor:
Thanks Dad.
Angel smiles.
Angel:
So you need the tour again, or are you good. We can go find you a room.
Connor:
Ok.
As Angel and Connor start to walk upstairs, Gunn gets up. He looks at Nina.
Gunn:
You hungry? Im gonna go pick up some...some....some....
Gunn falls to the ground. His hands grasp at his temples and he begins to
convulse. Nina screams. Angel turns around and runs to him. So does Connor.
Angel:
Oh god...Gunn...Gunn!
