Lorne trudged down the LA streets muttering to himself. 'Send Lorne he has nothing to do send Lorne out to get food. No one said a thing about the Taco place wouldn't be open tonight. So look what we have here, here is good old Lorne wandering through the grimy LA streets trying to find a way to feed the hungry masses.
Sighing Lorne looked around him Oh what I would not give for a sea breeze right now.
Lorne looked down at his neon purple suit with the psychedelic lime green shirt and noticed the strange lights flashing on it. Raising his head up to stare at the flashing sign above his head he shouted out, "Oh! Power's that be thank you so much." With that, Lorne raced across the street to the new Chinese restaurant the Drunken Dragon.
Pushing through the doors Lorne looked around the elegant restaurant, classy he thought shaking his head with approval love those deep red colors.
"May I help you?"
Lorne looked over the man, dark hair long slender neck, hmmm aged but not old, not handsome, but commanding presence nonetheless; also sensing mystery and power.
Putting on his best smile, Lorne ventured on "Do tell me you have the best Chinese food this side of China and you know how to make a sea breeze."
The man gave Lorne a predatory smile and in a somewhat gravely British voice, "We have the best food this side of China and I will personally take your order and make that drink for you." with a sweeping gesture the man turned and walked behind the bar.
Moments later settled on a barstool Lorne sighed, "This is ambrosia from heaven my friend. Two questions my friend how did a British gentleman such as you come to own a Chinese restaurant and how long will that order take?"
"Well a few minutes more, that was quite a large order especially the crab cheese ragoon."
Lorne shivered at the smile the man gave him but could not place his finger on what he was feeling, "dumpling if you knew the two gorgeous boys that argued over them you order dozens too".
"This drink is on the house since you have to wait. As a good will gesture I will make you another and you can tell me about your gorgeous boys", smiling the man turned his back to Lorne reaching for a bottle so Lorne did not catch the magic glint in his eyes.
Well first you tell me your story and then I'll tell mine or do you sing?"
The man looked off into the distance as if seeing another place another time in a soft voice, "A life full of chaos has brought me down this path"smirking", and singing is only done in the shower with water on full force".
Lorne smiled could not help but think this is his lucky day a willing ear. Which he planned to take full advantage of the telling of the saga of Angel and Spike was his favorite.
Little over an hour later after laying it on thick with his tale of woe, Lorne left laden with enough Chinese food to keep an army happy.
The owner of the drunken Dragon stood at the door watching Lorne fade into the LA streets. Lorne's story playing in his head certainly was a tale of misfortune both Spike and Angel seemed to deserve better then life or unlife had given them.
Oh yeah he knew they were vampires even without Lorne telling him. After all anyone who had visited Sunny dale knew of vampires, specially the old chums of a watcher.
Ethan looked into the dark night rubbing his hands together time to start that new life of his. To help those in need of guidance Oh he could make this fun something Spike would appreciate. With his newfound knowledge thanks to the green demon, he decided he could help both vampires
. Ethan bowed his head and chanted softly in Latin. As he raised his head to look out into the night, he repeated
The sire denies the childe
The childe denies the sire
At that Moment Lorne walked into to the hotel to hear Angel screaming at Spike, "I wished I wasn't your sire any one but me."
The burst of light was all Angel noticed before everything around him changed. No longer was he in the Hyperion lobby waiting for Lorne's return with the food but in his office.
Still in a bit of daze as the door flew open and Cordy stuck her head in
"Hey come on if were late Lorne will have our heads besides I want to show off this dress." Cordy twirled in the simply black dress. "But more importantly Lorne said something about there being some talent agents in the audience tonight so move it buster."
"Why are we going to Lorne's club tonight?" Angel asked as he grabbed his jacket.
"Well duh don't tell me vampires get senile. Thinkreally,really hardAngel Lorne's son sings tonight his big debut."
Angel looked at Cordy with his puckered brow, "Loren's son?"
Cordy grabbed Angel's arm dragging him to the front doors with an exasperated sigh. "Yeah remember Lorne's son the one you growl at every time he calls you Peaches. If you make me miss Spike's song I will so make you unlife miserable."
"Lorne's son is Spike?" Angel stuttered as Cordelia pulled him through the doors.
