A/N: As I haven't seen many of the Angel Season 3/4 Episode's and only know the basics, I'm going to be messing with the storyline a bit. Holtz wasn't able to follow Conner through the portal from Quortoth so even though Conner hated Angel, He eventually gave him a chance and they are slowly building a father/son relationship. Cordelia never became a higher being so she did meet Angel at the beach that night, and they are together and going strong. Also due to the Mayor's complete cover up of Finch and Worth's murder, Faith only went to prison for the assult's she did in L.A and after 18 month's in jail was paroled and is now working for A.I. Now please just imagine all that happened mid season 3. Okay I've rambled enough, on with the story...

Chapter 1.

"Hey Dawn, you ready to go?"

Looking up at her father standing in the doorway Dawn couldn't help but question why he was here. Why now did he show up wanting to see them? He'd come to Sunnydale wanting Buffy and herself to spend the weekend with him in L.A. And while Buffy had flat out refused, Dawn couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him when she saw the way his face had fallen, so reluctantly, she had said yes. She was regretting it now.

Looking out at the rapidly darkening sky, she sighed. "Yeah Dad, I'm ready"

Hank Summers smiled "Great, We'll have fun this weekend, I promise" He said before walking out of the room.

Dawn rolled her eyes after him "Yeah cause you always keep those" she muttered before slinging her bag over her shoulder, grabbing her Discman and following him downstairs.

Heading into the kitchen she made sure to grab the list of Angel and the gang's numbers Buffy had left for her on the fridge in case of any demon emergency's before checking the back door was locked, since Buffy had to work and Willow was in class, and following her father out the front door, making sure it was locked also.

Once she was settled in the car, she put the head phones over her ears, glancing at her father, she curses herself once again for saying yes to this trip "I'm gonna get some sleep, it's been a long week" Which was true, with Buffy flashing in and out of the bizzaro world, and the new vampire leader that they had spent a lot of late nights researching, and that it turned out had been trying to take over the Sunnydale demon population with some sort of magic amulet thingy. Buffy had killed him only last night so she was looking forward to being able to sleep on her way to L.A. With out offering any other details to her father she tilted the chair back, pressed play on her Discman and closed her eyes, not caring if he wanted to talk.

A/N: Little slow to start off with, will pick up, promise. Please review and if anyone is will to beta for me as I'm an aussie, and things may be off a little I would really apprieciate it.
