Another World Chapter 11. The Scooby's will no longer have their 5th member. Spike could never replace Xander. He will be missed. This is for sure my final chapter, but I'm thinking that there could be another in the wood work. Gee this chapter is long. Enjoy you all. Reviews are greatly appreciated.

Kat gets up moving Xander's arm that lays wrap around her waist and heads over to her computer. She clicks on her documents for Fanfiction and pulls up a blank page. The minute that she is about to type Xander wakes up and she looks at him as he opens his eyes.

"Hey," says Kat.

"Hi," says Xander a little groggy. "What you doing?"

"Writing stuff."

"Stories about us?" Kat looks at him and is surprise that Xander would say what he said. Xander gets out of the bed and pulls up his pants. He walks over to Kat and pulls up a chair next to her. "I kind of stumble into your Fanfiction site on your lab top."

"Really."

"Yeah, I know I shouldn't have and I kind of understand why you were writing stories about us. I'm sorry if I cross the line of privacy."

"No, I was going to tell you. Which story did you read?"

"Um, let me see. I couldn't read it all cause you came out of Tammy's room and I had to shut the computer down. I think it was 00 Xander. I'm so cool in that."

"That's one of my favorites too. Though I'm not in it but I always wanted you and Buffy to get together as you can see that is a pattern in many of my stories. Tammy is more into writing Spuffy."

"What's that?"

"Buffy and Spike stories."

"Oh, very strange." Kat clicks on 00 Xander on the document of that name. Kat watches Xander as he starts to read the beginning of 00 Xander. She then kisses his cheek. Xander gives her a smile.

"I think that 00 Xander deserves a sequel. Maybe you can help me write it."

"Sure, if I can."

"Yeah, you can. Besides you are my inspiration to write. Most of my stories are about you."

"I guess I got a lot of reading." Xander kisses Kat on the lips and continues to read.

It's night time in LA at the Hyperion Hotel and everyone has called it quits for the night except for Cordy and Angel. Angel stands outside in the back stairs of the hotel. He looks up at the few stars he could see then Cordy walks outside.

"Oh there's a shooting star," says Cordy seeing it cross the night sky. "Make a wish." She looks at Angel and he has his broody face that is so recognizable.

"Guess you'll be leaving," says Angel.

"Yeah, but not right away," says Cordy walking to Angel's side.

"You might need this." Angel tosses a ring to Cordy.

"What's this?"

"What the demon was looking for."

"A ring. What does it do?"

"Don't know and don't care."

"Angel I know it's hard but..."

"Everything is hard." Angel turns his gaze to Cordy. "I mean I couldn't get with Buffy because I would lose my soul and that would be bad. It's the same with any other woman. Then with Tammy, I can't be with her cause she's from another world and she does have boyfriend. And Nina...It's always me."

"Angel it's okay. So things haven't been great for a while, but you've got..."

"Nothing. The powers think they are so great. I did everything they ask for. I gave up a chance at a normal life to be human. And what do I get? Nothing."

"That's not true Angel."

"Yes it is Cordy and you know it."

"Look I may get visions Angel but I'm not a mind reader. Why are you so mad at them?"

"Because of you."

"Because of me?"

"They took you away from me. I hate them for that." Cordy is lost for words. Angel moves close to her and takes her hand. Cordy drops the ring into his hand.

"Angel you understand all this you know. I wish there was another way but there isn't."

"You can't see Cordy? I love you." Angel holds both her hands and Cordy starts to cry tears of joy. She pulls away and walks back inside the hotel. Angel follows her and turns her back around to face him.

"Angel I..." Angel kisses Cordy on the lips. Then Angel looks at the ring in his hand and gets down on one knee. Cordy's eyes widen at his motion.

"Marry me Cordy?" Cordy looks at Angel and caresses his face.

"Yes." Angel puts the ring into her finger and they embrace. Cordy looks at the ring and it suddenly starts to turn different colors. Cordy pulls away from Angel. "Angel there is something wrong with the ring." Angel looks at it and takes it off Cordy's hand just in time. The ring explodes in Angels hand and tosses him out through the glass door.

"Angel!" The noise wakes up everyone and they all come rushing down.

Meanwhile at the Maroon 5 concert, Tammy and David head back stage to check out the band. The band welcome the two into their room backstage.

"I'm such a big fan," says Tammy.

"You want a autograph CD," says Adam Levine, the lead singer. "Cause we could get you that."

"That would be great." Tammy smiles. Adam and the band begin to sign the CD cover and Tammy gets close to Adam as he signs it. "So do you have girlfriend?"

"Tammy that's a little personal," says David.

"That's quite alright," says Adam. "Yes, going through a bumpy road but we're good." He hands the CD to Tammy.

"That's too bad," says Tammy. "You need a girl who bright and smart."

"Yeah, she's all that but it's the touring and pretty much my second love which is my music," says Adam.

"So what type of girl do you like?"

"Well, she has to be a brunette, preferably curly hair, not too tall and very caring."

"Wow," says David. "You just described her friend Kat."

"Really," says Adam. "Is she a fan?"

"Um, nah. She's really not that caring. David you don't know her like I do. She's selfish and mean."

"Tammy you know that's not true," says David. "You shouldn't say that about your friend."

"I could curl my hair."

"Okay, Tammy lets get going." Tammy glares at David.

"Don't I at least get a hug. Oh and take a picture."

"Alright. After that we are out of here."

"Sure sure." Tammy grabs hold of Adam and the rest of band gather around for the picture.

"Let's go Tammy." Tammy lets go of Adam.

"Call me." Adam nods his head then checks his pocket. He sees a piece of paper with the Tammy and a phone number. Tammy winks at Adam as the door closes.

Back in Orlando, Xander and Kat are talking about 00 Xander, Kat's Fanfiction story.

"That was hilarious," says Xander. "The part with bird and Buffy."

"I needed some laughter since it was so action adventure," says Kat.

"There's gotta be sequel."

"There will be one." Kat then clicks on the Fanfiction site and clicks on register. "Why don't you start your own." Kat turns to Xander and he looks at her.

"Me. Nah. Could I?"

"Yes, I'll help you. You could remake episodes tell them your way."

"Sounds like a good idea."

"Okay, what do want to be named?"

Cordy is at Angel's side as he opens his eyes. There is blood everywhere. Cordy puts her hand on his chest and realize something different.

"Cordelia. What's the matter?" ask Angel still seeing everything fuzzy. Gunn and Wesley run down the stairs and see Cordy step away from Angel.

"Angel come on lets get you inside," says Wesely. Gunn grabs Angel from one side and Wesley grabs him from the other. "Cordelia."

"Call an ambulance," says Cordy.

"What?" everyone says.

"He has a pulse." When Angel hears what Cordy said he blacks out.

About half an hour later, Angel opens his eyes again and sees bright lights. he moves his head to the side and sees Cordelia. She's holding his hand tightly.

"Angel you're going to be okay," says Cordy. The medical people enter the emergency room and Cordy lets go of Angel's hand.

"He's going to be alright," says Wesley as he holds Cordy.

In the waiting room; Fred, Buffy, Willow, Spike, Wesley, Gunn, and Cordy wait impatiently for the results of Angel's recovery.

"I can't believe he got it from a silly ring," says Spike. "Can I have that ring?"

"Spike," says Buffy.

"It's a good thing. I mean he deserves it," says Fred eating bagel.

"Fred's right," says Buffy. "I'm happy for him. We all should be."

"Cordelia Chase," calls a doctor from a far. Cordy stands up as does everyone else.

"I'm Cordelia Chase," replies Cordy walking over to the doctor.

"He's in stable conditions," says the doctor. "It was a good thing that you were able to get him to the hospital this quick. He lost a lot of blood, but he's lucky he's got blood type O."

"Thank God," says Cordy.

"Can we see him," says Gunn as everyone stand up behind Cordy.

"Yes, but he's ask for Cordelia Chase to go in first," says doctor.

"I won't be long," says Cordy to the others.

"Take your time," says Fred with a smile. Cordy follows the doctor to Angels room. As she enters the room she sees Angel resting peacefully. She walks over to the side of the bed. His eyes open and his hand reaches for hers. Cordelia grabs his hand.

"I guess we reverse roles," says Angel. "Me in the hospital bed. Are these lights always so bright?" Angel sheilds his face with his hands.

"You're going to be fine," says Cordy trying not to burst into tears.

"No I'm not."

"Angel." He pulls himself up feeling a lot pain in his back. Angel with his other hand touches her face.

"Not without you." Cordelia holds the hand that touches her face.

"Yes you are." Cordelia's tears could not be held any longer.

"No." A nurse comes in with a bag filled with Angel's things.

"I'm sorry to intrude. Here are his things." Cordy wipes her tears away and walks over to the nurse and takes the bag.

"Thank you." The nurse leaves and Cordelia pulls out the ring. She drops the bag with his things on the ground.

"Cordelia," says Angel.

"Emotion is the most powerful weapon that humans have," says Cordy with her back turn to Angel. "The demon wanted this ring to steal the strong emotions of people, but the ring can also fulfill the grandiose desire of a the most powerful emotion of all." Cordy turns around and puts the ring on.

"Cordelia what are you doing?" She walks up to him and kisses him on the lips passionately. The ring begins to change colors as it did before, but this time it cracked. A shell comes off the ring and falls to the ground.

When Cordelia lets go of Angel's lips, they both look at the ring. The ring is intact and the diamond looks brighter than ever.

"How come it didn't go boom?" ask Angel.

"I don't know," says Cordelia. "I'm kind of glad it didn't, but we might get a boom in a minute or two." Angel is confuse.

Then in less than a minute a white lights appear in the room and a man appears in white robes. He looks at Cordelia then at Angel.

"He wasn't suppose to use that ring," says the man. "And neither are you Cordelia."

"You can't control everything," says Cordy. "You should know that by now." Cordy sits next to Angel and holds his hand.

"Cordelia come with us," says the man. "You are not suppose to stay here."

"She's not going any where," says Angel. "I may not be a vampire but I porbably could kick your..."

"Angel."

"This is what you wish?"

"Yes," replies Cordy.

"You know that there is no returning back from this."

"I know. I made my choice."

"So be it." The white light disappear with the man.

"You gave up the powers for me," says Angel.

"I know you'd give everything for me," says Cordy as she kisses him. A second later everyone walks into the room and see the two kissing.

"Awe they are so cute," says Fred as Wesley holds her close.

"Do you guys smell that?" ask Buffy feeling a little sick. They all look at her. "I think I'm going to hurl." Buffy runs away from them to the bathroom.

"She's been like that for the last couple of weeks," says Spike as he nods his head.

"Maybe she's pregnant," says Fred. Everyone looks at Fred.
