Chapter 9 Earth Bound. Dawn follows Cordy's advice. People could do me favor and review. I like to know what you guys think. Thanks!

Tara lays her head on Giles' chest as Giles rubs her arm. He looks down at her and kisses the top of her head.

"When are we going to tell everyone?" ask Tara looking up at him.

"Soon," replies Giles.

"We should make it an official rule that Jedi's have the right have normal lives including having someone to love."

"Yes, we'll it just like that." Tara laughs and pulls herself up and kisses Giles on the lips. She pulls the blanket to cover her.

"Maybe we can write a book. Is there a book on Jedi stuff. You know like all the rules."

"A hand book."

"Right. We need to get those books and cross the part where it says Jedi's cannot have romantic relationship with anyone."

"Or forget about that and let me be the exception." Giles grabs Tara by the waist and pulls her closer to him.

"I could live with that." Tara smiles and they begin to kiss.

"Excuse me Giles. Don't mean to interrupt but I just got a…oh sweet mother of pearl. "

"Lorne!" Giles and Tara say at the same time when they see Lorne at the door way.

"Don't you knock," says Giles.

"Yeah, usually but this is important," says Lorne as he walks over to Giles with a note. Giles takes it and opens it.

"It's Wesley," says Giles. "He says he and many of the servants from the palace that heard the emergency warning are all safe in a refuge about twenty miles from the palace. He says that they saw the dark warriors leave the palace heading north." Giles looks at Lorne.

"North," says Tara. "They're heading here."

"It's impossible," says Lorne. "They won't find us. The only people that know where this place is live here and you guys of course."

"So, we're going to be okay, right?" Giles caresses Tara's face and nods his head.

"Yes." Lorne coughs. "Um."

"So you two kids together," says Lorne. Tara and Giles look at Lorne.

Meanwhile in Dawn's room, Dawn walks back and forth. She stops and looks at her door. Then heads to it and towards the training room. She peaks in and sees Connor fencing with Angel in the other side of the room. At the other side fencing with Cordy is Spike. Dawn runs over to the two and pulls them outside.

"What's up?" ask Spike.

"I need you're help," says Dawn to Spike. "And I need your suit." Cordy looks at her then she looks at her fencing suit.

A couple minutes later Spike reenters the room with Dawn in Cordy's fencing suit. Spike and Dawn get in position to pretend that they are fencing.

"What do I say?" ask Spike.

"Anything to switch partners," says Dawn.

"Hey, um Angel," says Spike. Angel and Connor stop fencing and look towards Spike and 'Cordy'. "I want show Cordy here how you do that move you were trying teach me before. I can't get it right. Think you can show it to me. Cordy will fence with Connor for a while." 'Cordy' nods her head and heads over to Connor.

"Ready," says Connor. They start to fence and a tired Connor incredibly impress with 'Cordy's movements.

"Spike I taught you that like a thousand times. You should know it…" says Angel.

"Yeah, I know it," says Spike.

"What?" Angel looks at what Spike is looking at. He then notices something different about Cordy. "Spike that's not Cordelia."

"Nope, its not."
"That's not Faith either."

"Guess again."

"Dawn," says Angel in a whisper.

"Yep."

"What? Why is she…wow. She's pretty good."

"Yeah, she is."

"Got a lot of Giles' movements in her."

"He trained her before Cordy."

"Cordy's training her."

"Yeah, done a pretty good job. Hey, I think we better leave."

"Are you sure she can…"

"Come on." Spike puts his arm around Angel and pulls him out of the training room.

Still fencing, Connor seems to notice that 'Cordy' is getting really rough as she leads him to a wall. Connor attempts to out wit her and pushes her back.

"If I didn't know any better your skill look like if you were trained by Giles," says Connor.

'Cordy' hits his sword hard and it falls on the ground. Connor swiftly maneuvers himself away from her sword and rolls over to his sword on the ground. He quickly get up and faces her.

"That was really good."

"Thanks."

"Check out this move." Connor pushes her with his sword back then grabs her hand and turns her around. He then makes her drop her sword. 'Cordy' then elbows him in the nose and gets away from him then she turns around and kicks him knocking down on the ground. Connor laid on the floor motionless.

"Connor," says 'Cordy'. He doesn't reply. "Oh my gosh Connor are you okay?" She tales off her mask.

"That really hurt Cordy," says Connor grabbing his nose. He then opens his eyes and sees Dawn over him in Cordy's fencing suit. His eyes widen and his hand drops down.

"I'm so sorry," says Dawn. "Did I break it?"

"Dawn?"

"Surprise." Dawn helps Connor up and the two sit down on a bench.

"Where did you learn how to fight like that?"

"Cordelia. She was giving me private lessons. I'm going to be Jedi like you."

"And Giles?"

"Doesn't know."

"Wow. I was going to ask if I hurt you but that's not the case her." The two laugh. "Why did you do this?"

"Because you were avoiding for the last couple of weeks. I don't know what I did wrong and I took my anger out on you. I tend to do that. Just ask Giles."

"I see. Dawn, the reason why I was avoiding you is because I was jealous."

"Of what?"

"You and Spike."

"Spike."

"Yeah, he's known you more than I have. I thought you were into him."

"No, I'm not. I mean don't get me wrong he's cute and all but there's nothing between us. We're more like brother like brother and sister."

"That's a relief."

"I beat up guys I like. Well, except for Giles. He's just annoying at times and that's why I beat him up." Connor laughs. Dawn then starts to wipe blood from Connor's nose. She lifts his chin up with her left hand. Connor caresses her right cheek with his hand and it makes her smile. He then moves in and places a kiss on Dawn's lips.

"Oops, there I go again," says Lorne. "Sorry for the intrusion Kitten." Dawn pulls away from Connor and they both turn to Lorne.

"What is it Lorne?" ask Dawn.

"Giles has ordered an emergency meeting."

"Why? What's going on?"

"We've receive a notice that the dark warriors have evacuated your kingdom and that they're heading north, here."

"How could they find us?" ask Connor.

"Yes, that's what I keep telling everyone. It's not possible for them to find us. Not many people know where we are. We're going to be fine."
