A/N: Thanks everyone for the reviews! Keep em' coming. I'm glad most of you seem to like the Sarai/Lindsey interaction. Okay, here's the last of the season 2.
Sarai and Ryan successfully managed to follow Lindsey back to his apartment building without being caught. When they entered the buildings lobby, they hid behind a wall and watched him get in the elevator. "Okay, now how are we supposed to find out what apartment he's in?" Ryan asked his girlfriend.
"Like this," she answered walking over to the door man, "excuse me, can you please tell me which apartment Lindsey McDonald's in?"
"5C," the doorman replied.
"Thank you," Sarai and Ryan got in the next free elevator and headed to the 5th floor. They both froze when the reach his door. "What do we do? Knock?" Sarai questioned.
"How should I know? You're the one with the stalking experience."
"Knocking is the polite thing to do, Dad tells me that all time," Sarai said as she attempted to turn the door handle so she could just walk in. "Its locked," she stated with a pout.
"So I guess we're gonna be polite," Ryan responded as he knocked on the door.
Meanwhile inside:
"Who's that?" Darla asked Lindsey when they heard the knock.
Lindsey turned and looked at the door. It was the middle of the day, he had no idea who it could be. "I'll go find out," he answered going over to the door. He was shocked to see who was on the other side.
"Miss us?" Sarai asked.
"This wasn't my idea," Ryan added.
"What are you two doing here? And how did you even get here?" Lindsey questioned.
"We followed you, duh!" Sarai said, pushing her way past him and entering the apartment, "I said I was going to help you wi-OH MY SHIT!" She exclaimed when she saw the blonde on the couch. And with her special senses, she could tell that her mother was once again a vampire at this point. She whipped around and stared jaw-dropped at Lindsey. Ryan, noticing the look on his girlfriends face also walked in Lindsey's place. He too couldn't believe it.
"What's going on, Lindsey?" Darla questioned.
"Oh, I think I should be the one asking the questions!" Sarai exclaimed. "What the hell are you two doing?"
"I should be asking you and your friend that," Lindsey replied.
"Oh like hell! The fact that my mother is sitting on your couch gives me the upper hand in the question asking!"
"Your what!" both Lindsey and Darla exclaimed.
"Mother. M-o-t-h-e-r. Ya know, the person the baby lives in for nine months before its born."
"That's impossible. I can never have any children, I'm sure of it." Darla stated.
"Well, when other forces interfere, you can. Trust me, I am the exception to the vampires can't have kids rule."
"You know I'm a vampire?"
"Of course I can. I lived in one for nine months, I can spot one a mile a way...or a block depending on if I'm paying attention or not."
"You're a teenager. You said you're from 3 years from now, how does that work?" Lindsey asked.
"You've met before?" Darla questioned.
"They came to my office."
Sarai sighed. She'd had to repeat the story of her life so many times throughout the past two years, she'd become sick of hearing herself do it. "I was born, I spent time in a place where time moved faster, I came back very aged," she then explained, in the shortest version she could think of. Darla stood up and walked over to Sarai. She stared at her face for one minute, followed by sniffing the air.
"She's telling the truth, Lindsey, she is my daughter."
"I told you so!"
Lindsey didn't know what to say, but he now knew who at least one of the people were Sarai reminded him of. He looked at both Darla and Sarai, and the similarities, mainly the eyes, were obvious. "You alright there, Lindsey?" Sarai asked.
"Yeah...I'm...just...surprised." he answered.
Sarai laughed, "you and me both. I mean here I stalk you and everything in hopes of helping you get laid, and it turns out you wanna bang my mom. Which, by the by, isn't going well with my stomach and whatever other part of you that controls when you puke."
"I'm sorry, what about banging me? What the hell went on in your office?" Darla once again needed answers.
"Oopsies." Sarai uttered. "Nothing, its nothing. Sometimes, well I should never be allowed to speak."
"Sometimes?" Ryan echoed.
"Okay, the government should demand that I have my entire mouth wired shut. In fact, any day I'm sure it'll happen. Rumor has it it'll be addressed in the next congress meeting," Sarai said with a straight face.
"Really?" Darla and Lindsey responded.
"No. I have an odd mind that doesn't really think about what I say before I say it. That's another reason why I shouldn't speak. But, DUDE! I had you two. So anyway, why are you in Lindsey's apartment?"
"I live here," Darla answered.
Sarai focused all her attention on Lindsey, "wow. Looks like I'm not the only actor around here. And here I thought you couldn't get a girl. I'm impressed," she commented. Until, another thought, a sickening horrible thought, entered her mind. "Wait! You live together. Your having the sex and all and its so close to when..." she had to stop to catch her breath.
"Oh no," Ryan commented, knowing where her dramatic mind was going.
"What's she going to say now?" Lindsey whispered to him
"Oh, you'll see. You haven't heard nothing yet."
Sarai went back to talking, "oh...oh...mom...with two...guys! Close too the making of me! What if...is he my real father? Oh no, my entire life has been a huge lie! Oh mother of crap...I'm gonna be on Muary for a DNA test and then run off the stage divested...and FUCK! I offered my father the chance to illegally devirginize me! And I thought my life was jammed up before."
Lindsey and Darla remained silent for a moment. Sarai's outburst shocked them. Ryan on the other hand, knew exactly what to say. "Snap out of it! Sarai, there is no way, that Lindsey can be your father. Okay; A, remember you were only able be 'made' as you like to call it because it was done by two vampires. B; You're not exactly a big spender. C; We both know you own several bottles of mousse. D; Brooding isn't a foreign concept to you. And E, and keep in mind I'm only saying this because I care; Your forehead isn't exactly small. So its very safe to say you don't need to worry that your dad isn't actually him." Ryan told her.
Once Sarai was done feeling her forehead, a bit insecurely, she spoke "those are very good points. Especially B, C and D. Those are very daddy like, they could only be passed down through DNA."
Suddenly, Lindsey knew who the other person was she reminded him of. And he wasn't happy about it. "So, you had a kid with Angel," he said to Darla, clearly hurt.
"So you know him?" Sarai asked.
"Yeah, Sarai, you could say that."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
Lindsey held up his plastic hand, "I used to have a real one, until he cut it off."
Sarai's eyes widened. She had heard a story from a rather 'intoxicated' Gunn once about a lawyer who's hand got cut off by Angel, and now she knew who it was. She also however, knew her father and she knew there must've been a reason. "Why? What'd you do that made him cut it off?"
Lindsey looked away from her. Despite the knowledge that she was the offspring of Angel, she was a part of Darla too, and the girl who had amused him in his office long ago. He still liked her. "I tried to destroy something that Cordelia would die without."
Sarai nodded, "yeah, that would do it. I tried to kill Cordy once, it was one of the first things I did when I got back from the other place, tried to kill dad, more then once too. I still have both hands though...but then again you can probably see that."
"Just so you know, I'm not sleeping with Lindsey," Darla then told her daughter.
"Really?" she questioned. Darla nodded. "Why the hell not?" she then asked.
"Excuse me?"
"You heard me, you have super hearing, I know you heard me. Why aren't you sleeping with him? You have actually looked at him, right? I know he's willing too. If I were you I would so hit that."
"I'm feeling uncomfortable at this point," Lindsey stated.
"Gee, it's a good thing you don't have a boyfriend that could possibly be offended by your talk of doing someone else," Ryan said, but then he remembered who else was in the room too. "Not that I actually want to do your daughter, Ms. Darla-Sarai's-Mom," he added. Sarai looked angry. "I mean, not that I don't want to either...oh I give up!" Ryan then exclaimed, flopping on a chair, until something else hit him. "Hey, wait a minute, Sarai. Why are you saying its okay for your mom to be with another guy, yet you're totally against your dad having a girlfriend?"
"Several reasons. Reason one; I'm saying not saying mommy and Lindsey should get married, I'm saying they should get laid...even if there's a major ew factor in the image. Reason two; As long as I still get created by mom and dad, who mom goes out with before doesn't matter to me."
"Then how come Dawn's sister bothers you? She dated your dad before you were born." Ryan interrupted and sated.
"Who's side are you on? And that's different. Buffy, the Vampire Layer, didn't date daddy, she used him because she was a horny teenager with a thing for an older man. Like I am right now, with Lindsey...or Adrian Grenier, Eminem, and Josh Duhamel. Only she actually dated her guy. Plus, she's the reason he killed mommy!"
"My darling girl's so smart," Darla said hugging Sarai.
"Again, I'm feeling uncomfortable with the talk of 'doing me'." Lindsey reminded everyone.
"Shut up. You don't know how lucky you've got it. Over a year we've been going out and she hasn't talked about me like that," Ryan responded.
"Yeah, not too your face," Sarai answered. "Back to Buffy though, she was also very mean, and from what I heard, borderline abusive to my Spike."
"Your WHO!" Darla screamed, enraged.
"Spike. Yes, I know you hate him very much. So does daddy. I'm reminded that all the time. But he's funny and one of my best friends and does a very good job at helping me bother dad." she answered. "And Reason Three; I'm not against daddy having a girlfriend. I'm against daddy having a girlfriend who tries to act like she's my mother as well. And also, there's the fact that my bedroom it close to his and on more then one occasion, I heard some sounds and requests that seriously made me consider cutting my ears off. All this talk of The Daddy makes me want to go and see him. Lindsey, come on."
"What?" he questioned.
She groaned, why was she always so misunderstood? Maybe she was really just to smart for everyone...either that, or insane. "I just said I want to see dad, and he's probably at the hotel, and I don't feel like walking all the way there. So you're going to drive me."
"I can't."
"Yes you can, I know you have a car, I followed you here, remember? I saw you drive it. It's a nice car too. So, lets go."
Lindsey shook his head, "I'm sorry, but I won't take you over there."
"Yes you will."
"No I won't."
"Yes you will."
"No I won't."
"Look, Lindsey, I've have these kinds of conversations multiple times a day with people who refuse to go along with my ideas. I always win. This will not be an exception, so lets just skip the rest of this, okay?"
Lindsey look to Darla and Ryan, who both just shrugged and gave him a 'your screwed' look. He looked back at Sarai. She was now giving him the puppy eyes, and dammit they got him. It wasn't his fault, it was her and her Darla-like eyes. "Fine, I'll take you," he sighed.
"I thought you would. Okay great, so Lindsey and I will go, and mom you and Ryan can hang here and chat. Oooh, its like a dysfunctional reality show waiting to happen."
"You sure you don't need me to go with you?" Ryan asked.
"Yeah, I'm sure. I shouldn't be too long, you and mom have fun."
Lindsey and Sarai left, leaving Ryan alone with Darla for the first time. 'Well, I've survived alone time with Angel, so how bad could this be?' he thought.
"So...you're dating my future daughter?" Darla questioned, in an attempted to make conversation with the boy.
"Yeah, I am."
She walked over to him and pushed him against a wall, "if you ever go male on that darling girl..." she finished her statement by vamping out.
'Okay, so this is bad,' he thought. "Um...I won't" he said unsteadily.
Darla snorted and rolled her eyes, "you are so human."
Meanwhile, Lindsey pulled up in front of the Hyperion and turned to Sarai, "I drove you here, but I'm not going in," he stated.
She laughed, "yeah, fine. Sissy."
"Watch it."
"Or what?" she challenged.
"Or I won't be here when you're ready to leave and you can walk back," he threatened.
"I like you, Lindsey," she replied getting out of the car and walking in the hotel. There was no one in the lobby. "Yodel!" she yelled. Angel came down the stairs, he did not look happy...more so then usual, that is.
"What?" he demanded.
"Are you alright?" she asked.
"Who the hell are you and what do you want!" Angel snapped, sounding highly aggravated.
Sarai was taken back for a moment. She didn't really like seeing her father angry like this, but that didn't mean she didn't like mocking it. "Wow. Who added the extra grumpy to your hair gel this morning?"
"Look I'm really not in the mood, so either tell me why you're here, or get the hell out!"
"No, seriously, what's wrong? Why you so pissed off?"
"Why do you care?"
"If I told you I was your kid in the future, would you believe me?"
"No."
"Okay, well then there's no point in saying it...even though its true."
"No, it can't be."
"Yes, it can."
"Can't."
"Can."
"Can't"
"Can."
"Can't."
"Can."
"Can't.
"Can!" Sarai eventually screamed, which scared Angel a bit.
"Okay...maybe it can."
"Haven't I been trying to tell you that?"
"Well, its hard to believe! I still don't know if I really get it!"
"I. Am. Your. Kid. If you know how kids are made, then you should get it. And if you don't, well, then I'll be deeply shocked."
"Why are you here? What's the reason for this?" Angel asked.
Sarai raised an eyebrow at him, "just to let you know, that was the same question twice in a row, just reworded."
Angel was getting annoyed by this girl. "Just answer my damn question!"
"Why the hell are you being such an ass? Where's Gunn, Cordelia, or even Wesley? Maybe I can actually have a conversation with one of them, because you must be on some kinda vampopause, or something."
"Vampopause?"
"Yeah, you know, menopause for vampires. Oh wait, this is the past so you're not 250 yet, so maybe it's a vampiod."
"Okay, what's that?"
"A period for vampires, DUH! Sheesh, its not that hard to figured out. Is the blood you've been drinking been going right through you? Coming out the other end? Cause I have something in my bag that might help you."
"I'm NOT on my period!" Angel insisted.
"Okay, it was only a theory. You just seem pissed, what to talk about it?"
"No."
"Does it have to do with Lindsey? Cause he and mom aren't sleeping together, I checked."
Angel was angrier now. "Lindsey? How the hell do you know Lindsey? And who's mom isn't sleeping with him?"
"My mom. The woman that you...you know...did the baby making process...to make me. But most call her Darla. She's not sleeping with Lindsey. She told me it herself. So no need to be Mr. Cranky Pants...and that was SO the WRONG name to call you. I must be shot now."
"Darla? DARLA? She's still alive! But I..." Angel yelled.
"You what? What did you do to her, this time? And technically, she's undead."
"It figures she's still in cahoots with Lindsey. DAMN THEM! Angel exclaimed as he began to pace. "But...I... set her on fire!"
Now, Sarai was pissed, "you did WHAT? You set my mommy, the mother of ME, on FIRE?" She then slapped her father. "What is wrong with you? You don't just go around setting people who you eventually have a child with on fire! You just don't! Especially after you staked them once already. When I get back to my time, you and I are SO going to have a long talk, buddy. Until then I am leaving here, and I am VERY pissed off." With that, she stormed out of the hotel.
'How could he? Why did he? I knew he hated her! Even in my time he never talks about her. He probably really does consider Cordelia more of my mother then mom is. And to think I've been thinking of telling him that she visits me sometimes. He'd probably just accuse it of being some evil trick from some demon or something, which it TOTALLY isn't. I bet he even hated her during the whole night of my creation. Like one of those twisted TV relationships that you see go to the epic climax of angry sex, with no love involved, or likeness for each other at all. And that's what I was born from great. Don't I feel special now. This sucks. I hate the past!'
As soon as she got back in the car, Lindsey could tell she was upset. "What happened?" he asked.
"Don't worry about it. Can you just take me back to my mom and Ryan, please?" she asked, her voice only a little higher then a whisper. She wanted to cry, but she wouldn't let herself. Not in front of Lindsey, or anyone for that matter. The only person she truly felt okay crying around, was Angel, and right now that wasn't an option.
"Are you sure you're okay? I'm guessing the Angel you just spoke with, wasn't the one you're used to."
"No, he really isn't. But let's just go back, okay. Thanks you for driving me here."
"No problem." the care ride back was a silent one.
'He won't get away with this!'
When they arrived back at Lindsey's Sarai didn't waste any time. She grabbed Ryan's hand, dragged him in Lindsey's room and looked the door. "It's time!" she declared.
"Time? Time for what?"
She sat on the bed, "we're going to have sex."
"What? What the hell?"
"My dad was an asshole to my mom before I was made. And that's pissing me off. So I am going to do something that I know he wouldn't like, and that is you. So come on, let's go."
"I am not going to have sex with you for the first time, because you're pissed at Angel."
Sarai scoffed, "why not? My parents were pissed off at each other the night I was made. So in a way, it makes sense that this is how it should be."
"No, Sarai, it doesn't. Their feelings, or lack of, for each other, has nothing to do with us. And up until now, I know for a fact you don't want to sleep with me, or anyone else. Despite what you may say."
Sarai was embarrassed. "I know. But, I don't know. I guess in the car ride here it seemed like the perfect idea. Maybe I'm not as smart as that piece of paper says I am."
"Can I get that on paper?"
"Never. And if you ever bring it up again, I'll lie."
"Okay."
"Hey, Ryan, can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"Part of the reason why you don't want to right now, is because you're terrified that when we get back, my dad will find out and kill the hell out of you, right?"
Ryan sighed, "terrified is an understatement."
With that, the teenagers once again disappeared.
A/N: Okay, that's all for season two. Up next; Sarai encounters dorky season 1 Wesley, shallow Cordy and depressed/lonely Angel. Oh yeah, and we might even finally find out why they keep getting sent back in time. Until then, feel free to leave me reviews.
