A/N: This idea came to mind, and I thought it's a good story.
Summary: Remember when Sarah said to Ashe 'I wish I would've met you before?' well, what if she had? What if they would start dating? See how much Ashe and Sarah's life mirrors out Shelly and Eric's. (Similarities are on purpose)
Disclaimer: If I would've owned The Crow, this would've been a movie script, not a fic.
Notes: To make the story work, I had to change some stuff: Grace and Sarah know each other already, Sarah works as a bar waitress, Ashe's wife didn't pass away, instead they got a divorce, Ashe has a friend named Alex (Yes, he is the Crow from the third movie) who is trying to make Ashe date again, Ashe doesn't work as a mechanic, but a dentist, Ashe and Sarah meet while Danny is 4 years old (so basically, not in 1996). Yes, I've completely changed all roots, but the villains are the same.
START
A dark room, a crow is suddenly visible flying towards the camera...The shadow in shape of a man, he could easily be Eric, but his hair was shorter. The crow keeps flying toward us, suddenly, it blurrs.
Sarah jumps up, sweat covering her forehead. This was the first dream of a crow she'd had in years. For two years after that incident with Eric coming back, Sarah had been having these kinds of dreams, but then it stopped. A 'meow' is heard. Sarah looks to the sound to see Grabrielle looking at her. She climbs out of bed and picks the white, fluffy cat up. "You having sleeping problems too?" She sets the cat down on the floor again and it runs towards the armchair. Sarah sits down on her bed. She had dreamed of a crow flying before but who was that man? Was he the next Crow? Was another even possible? Sarah shook these thoughts off and lay back down.
Ashe was still looking over papers. It is strange how someone's gums can matter so much..to them atleast. Ashe looked to the picture of him, his wife and their son Danny. This was taken when he was 8 weeks old...And when Ashe's marriage was half-way to over. Why didn't she tell him she wanted a divorce straightly? Why did she have to invite over that guy and...He couldn't take the thoughts anymore. He put the picture in his drawer. Suddenly, he remembered Sarah. Why was he feeling like he did a big mistake by letting it go by? He had a deep feeling in his gut something was missing, but for that brief moment when he and Sarah had met, it had gone away. It was the strangest feeling...
The next morning, Sarah walked Grace to a dentist's clinic. Grace had, had too much sugar skull candies the night before and now her teeth hurt. The coming Day Of The Dead was gonna be candyless for Grace and she was muttering about how stupid salesmen can ruin the fun. Sarah had been slowly gigling while Grace had said those things. Finally, they came to the building. "Here ya go" Sarah said and started sitting down on the couch in the waiting room. "Sarah! We talked about this. You're coming in with me!" Grace begged. Sarah groaned. "Do I have to? I mean, you're a big girl, you can handle this right?" She pleaded but her friend wasn't going in there without her. Groaning again, Sarah got up and entered the office with Grace.
"Um, hello, sir" Grace said, obviously scared, and also thinking it would be an old dentist. The chair spinned around to face the two girls and Sarah's eyes widened. It was Ashe. His eyes also widened as he realized who Sarah was. "You?" they both said together. Grace's nervous face was now smirking. "I-Hi. I wasn't, expecting much familiar faces today" Ashe smiled, definitely a little freaked out. "H-Hi" Sarah said, managing a smile. Ashe didn't know why, but that smile made his senses blurry. "We met at the bar, uh..." Ashe tried to remember the name. "Casey's" Sarah finished for him, the smile finally being nervous-free. Ashe smiled, however his smile was nervous. "Yeah..um..We haven't formally introduced ourselves to each other. I'm Ashe Corven" He smiled. "Sarah Mohr" Sarah also smiled. (Yeah, I know that's the tv series last name, but Sarah was never given a last name in the movies)
"Uh..If introductions are done, I would like to get treatment here" Grace said, grinning, cooking up a plan which was...well...let's just say A-Graceful-Plan (made that up to make things interesting) "Oh. Of course. Follow me" Ashe said, and with one last look at Sarah, led Grace to the room where the procedure would be done (don't know what the place's name is)
After 2 hours, Grace came out, Ashe right behind her. "Ohh, was it painful?" Sarah asked. "A little, but not as painful as I thought. Plus, my gum feels better and I don't have to worry about being toothless by the time I'm 18" Grace smiled. Sarah sighed in relief. "Thanks a lot" Grace turned and said to Ashe. "You're welcome and remember, no sweets for 5 weeks" Ashe said like he was telling a child. "I'm 17, not 7!" Grace said and behind her Sarah struggled not to laugh.
Ashe looked at Sarah and was lost in her beauty, and as for her, she was avoiding looking at Ashe 'cause then she'd look at him forever. Grace looked between the two nervous people and smirked. "Hey, uh, Ashe would you like to go out with Sarah on Day Of The Dead?" Grace asked. Sarah's thoughts were rushed out of her mind and neon signs started going off with bells ringing everywhere. "Wh-what?" Sarah said, but those words went unnoticed as Grace asked again "Would you?". "Uh-um-uh-oh" Ashe stuttered. After a lot of thought (and stuttering) he said "Um..sure..I'll pick you up around...6?" He uncomfortably shifted. "Uh...sure..." Sarah was finally able to say. "Great. It's planned then" Grace said, then grabbed Sarah and raced out.
"I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU FIXED ME A DATE WITH A GUY I BARELY KNOW!" Sarah said, disbelieving. "Well, duh! That's how a date is supposed to be!" Grace said. "YES, BUT THIS GUY'S A COSTUMER! AT CASEY'S!" Sarah said. "Well, he seemed in a hurry to get outta there. Just get to know him, for the love of god!" Grace said. Sarah looked down at the road. Grace was right. She doesn't even know him that much, and she's already judging. Maybe she should just get to know him a LITTLE...

It was longer than the previous chapters, so don't throw garbage (a.k.a, flames) at me, please!
