Okay, this is the most I've updated in a long time. Incredibly lame, I know. Thanks to the reviewers! Here we go…
Chapter 2
1 year later
I was at Wolfram and Hart again. Dad had decided to go on a vacation for himself, and I thought it was a good idea. I was ready for a week of fun with Spike.
He had quickly become my best friend, and we would play lots of games. My favorite was tea party, but I didn't make Spike be a girl. I would say he was the King and I was the Princess and we were having a tea party because the darling princess wanted to. At first they were normal tea parties, but then I asked Mr. Wesley to teach me Latin, and then I would make my room into a parlor, with furniture and everything. Spike always told me that we didn't need the parlor. I said we did, because it's what Mommy would have done.
During that week, I also hung out with Fred a lot. Fred's really cool. She's a scientist, but not the sci-fi nerd scientist that Andrew would be. She took me out for tacos and we even went shopping together.
One day, after Fred and I had returned from tacos, there was something going on at the office. I was told to go to my room, because whatever it was was important. I went without protest, and decided I would practice the guitar. Daddy had taught me a few fingerings, and I could even play a little guitar solo. He was very happy about my potential to become a great guitarist. I sat there in my room, playing my guitar, when this lady appears out of nowhere. She looked like she was a night-light, because she was glowing. If she was a night-light, she was a confused one.
"You lost?" I asked, putting my guitar down. "I can help you, but I'm not supposed to come out of this room. Angel said is I came out I would be in big trouble. Spike said he wouldn't let him get me though. Do you know Spike? He's cool. He plays tea party with me, but you can't tell anyone." I said, quickly.
"Angel. Where's Angel?" she said frantically.
"In his office. He's the boss. Daddy says that he's really annoying sometimes. Do you know my Daddy? He taught me to play a song. Want to hear it?" I went over and grabbed my guitar, then I began to play my solo. She stared at me as if she recognized something in me.
"Who's you're Daddy? Is he in a band?" she asked, sitting down.
"His name is Oz. Mommy dropped me off when I was this many." I held out three fingers. "She wanted to go on a super-long vacation. I think she just wanted to get away from me. Her name's Willow. What's your name?" I said, nodding my head.
"I'm Cordelia. So Angel's here? And what is here?" she asked.
"Here is here. If you want specifics it's a really big building called Wolfram and Hart. Wesley's here, and he taught me to read Latin. I can make lots of different spells. Are you going to see Angel? Could you take me with you? I'm bored." I stood up, and brushed my hair behind my back. It was long and red, just like my mommy's.
"Sure. I'd be glad to. So are you a…?" she paused as if wanting to say something but not sure.
"A little wolf? Yep. I'm daddy's little wolf. I'm good too! I never bite anything and I stay asleep during the whole entire thing. Daddy says that's really good of me. We go out for ice cream if I'm good. It's yummy too. Let's go. We can go bother Angel. Spike says he's a poof. I don't know if Angel's a poof or not. Daddy said he isn't but Spike just doesn't like him."
"You are your mothers daughter. How about we are quiet for a little bit? Have a daddy moment, we could say." I don't think Cordelia liked the fact that I talked too much. She hadn't had much kid experience.
When we walked in to Angel's lobby, Harmony was at the desk, bored. "Hey Trin! Aren't you supposed to be in your room?"
"Well, yes, but Cordelia is taking me for a walk. I was bored. Do you know Cordelia? I've only known her for about 5 minutes. She's nice. She knew my daddy, like you! Isn't that cool? Well, we have to see Angel, cause Cordy wants too. Bye Harm!" Then I skipped towards the door, but Cordelia didn't follow.
"Harmony! What are you doing here?" she said, smiling.
"Well, living out in L.A got boring, so Lorne came and asked me if I wanted the job, and I was like, yeah, of course. So, here I am. Angel's letting me off in an hour. I have Trinity watch. So, how are you? How'd you get here?"
"I don't know how I got here, but I'm here. I thought I'd talk to Angel about it, you know? Can we go in?" she asked, her whole entire face smiling.
"Well, I wasn't supposed to let anyone in, but he might want to talk to you. Trinity, want to help me be a secretary?" she said, turning to me.
"I guess. I want to help them though. They're doing something. I can smell it." I said.
"Well, we have stuff to do Trin. Want to go get some coffee?" she smiled.
"Yeah, I'll go with you." I really didn't like Harmony. I found her to be annoying and preppy, and she seemed as if she could betray Wolfram and Hart any second. It turned out I was right, only it was a few years ahead before she did.
