Disclaimer: Come on, do we really need to do this? Huh? Huh? Fine, but I own Cori, Dani, and tommy the kitty, who is based on my own kitty-cat a.k.a. my baby,Tommy.
Angel sumoritos: hehe, got to agree with you about the chain thing ;)
Mollie R. Moony: sorry 'bout that.
Dani strode down the alleyway, pausing only to see Connor take out a pair of vamps. "Nice job," she compliment him. He turned suddenly, a small smile on his lips. "What you been up to?"
"Just staking," Connor gestured at the dust surrounding him.
"I see that," Dani noddeed. "Hey, you seen-"
"Me," an accented voice finished. Dani turned to see Will.
"There you are," she said, tilting her head to study him. It had taken a surprisingly long time to find the bleached vamp. It shocked Angel most of all, as the older vamp had always been more into using his gray matter and hiding then his grandchilde. "We've been looking for you."
"Pretty girls, looking for me," Will shrugged, smirking, "happens all the time."
"I'll bet," Dani took a step closer. Will noticed but didn't move, other than to give her a taunting look.
"And what's a bit like you gonna do, luv?"
"Well, I could stake you, but I'm not allowed to. And that'd be way too easy,"
"Two other Slayers thought so, too," he hinted to his past 'victories'.
"I so like our Spike better than you," Dani admitted, lunging for him. He blocked her punch and gave her a right hook.He didn't notice Connor join in until a second later, feeling a hard pipe hit his back. He sent a kick towards Connor, sending the kid into the wall. Dani suddenly stopped, and remembering one particularly memorable training session with her two favorite vamps, and staked him in the...well, I'm going to say crotch area. Will's eyes widened in a mixture of shock and pain. "Heh, that's even funnier the second time," she joked.
"So let me get this straight," Angel looked at his girlfriend in slight fear. "You just-"
"Yes," Dani rolled her eyes. After explaining what had happened, all the guys had backed away from her, making her grin. By now, though, it was just plain annoying.
"Why?" Spike asked.
"Whaddya mean, 'why'? 'Cause he'd eat me if I didn't."
"But, didn't you think that was harsh?" Gunn added.
"You guys keep this up and you can join 'em," she threatened. This shut them up, though they watched her warily. "Uh, can't you control them or something?" Dani turned to Fred and Cori. Cori snickered and led Spike up to the second floor.
"I don't know, I mean, that is kind of, well," Fred stammered.
"Never mind," Dani waved it off. "You are gonna have to get over it, though," she added to Angel.
"Really?"
"Yeah," she answered. "I don't want a guy who's afraid of me."
"Who said I'm afraid?" Angel was overly defensive.
"Never mind," Dani shook her head and left him standing there, and headed towards the empty room on the second story.
"Wait," Angel used his vampire speed to get in front of her. "Where are you going?"
"To talk to Connor," she stated. Angel looked at her then at the room before back to her.
"You don't...like him, do you?"
"Yeah, I like...oh, you mean...no, not like that. He's like a little brother or something, that's all."
"Ok," Angel looked happier. A second later they both jumped when a loud roar echoed through the hotel.
"Sounds like you woke up."
"Let him stay down there," Angel decided, "we'll have a night to ourselves. "
"Seriously?" Dani grinned. Angel didn't often mention spending time alone together, but he'd been doing it more and more. "Sounds like fun. Let's go."
"You think that's you or Dad?" Cori asked Spike, smiling.
"I don't much feel like finding out, you?"
"Nah," Cori sat on the bed. Spike pushed the kitten next to her over so he could sit next to her. "Maybe later."
"Why the bloody hell did you get this thing?" Spike growled when the kitty started to try to play with him.
" 'Cause I don't know what you do with the kitties you win in kitten poker, and I liked this one," she pulled the kitty into her lap and started to play with it. Another roar rang through the Hyperion. "Fred better finish the spell soon."
"Um, so you need to sit here, and," Fred glance at the instructions again. "And Dani, you sit here."
"Anything else?" Dani asked, "Like breaking those two apart?" she jerked her head in Spike and Cori's direction. Spike had lifted her onto the counter and they started making out.
"Well, no," Fred shook her head. "Just, everyone sit and hold hands." Acouple of minutes and some chanting later, and the group on the floor opened their eyes. Spike and Cori pulled away from each other, shock written all over their faces, though Cori gave him a shy smile.
"Ok, what the hell's going on?" Dani jumped to her feet. Her gaze swung over the others in the circle before landing on Gunn. "Hi, cutie."
"Hey, I can get my parents to sue all of you for daterape," Cordy threatened.
"And who're you?"
"I am Cordelia Chase" Cordy said proudly.
"And that's...?"
"I'm Fred Burkle," Fred said happily.
"I am Wesley Wyndham-Pryce," Wes stated, as proud as Cordy had been.
"I'm Corina Summers, and that's Danielle Lehane," Cori added softly.
"Call me Dani," Dani smiled, mainly at Gunn.
"I'm Gunn," he shrugged. Wes ducked and looked around.
"Where?"
"No, that's my name."
"Seriously? That's totally hot," Dani slipped a little closer.
"Um, I am William Pratt," Spike said, his voice even softer than Cori's had been. She gave him another smile, this one less shy. He returned it, though it was incredibly shy. "And, um, why are you dressed like that?"
"What do ya-" Cori looked down at her clothes. She had on a simple halter top and a pair of tight pants. "Why do I look like Dani dressed me?"
"Shut up, Cori," Dani waved at her. "It's looks good on you. Better than those skirts."
"Ha ha, very funny," Cori slid off the counter when Spike backed up a step or two. Though for a second he struggled with an internal struggle between his manners and his awkardness when it came to the opposite sex.
"Dude, we've got hot guys everywhere," Dani eyed Spike apprecaitevly. Then she glanced at Wes. "For the most part, anyway," she mumbled to herself.
"Um, why are all of you dressed like this?" Spike repeated.
"Because that's how people dress," Cordy said haughtily.
"Not where I am from," he retorted.
"You mean England?" Cori asked. He nodded.
"That explains the ac-" Angel walked in, breaking off Dani.
"Who are you people? You all must be mad," he added, without waiting for an answer. "Wearing those clothes."
"Hey, what's wrong with my clothes?" Dani asked, indignant. Gunn took a look at her tank top and Daisy Dukes.
"Yeah, I don't see much wrong with them," Gunn agreed. Dani shot him a sexy look before turning back to Angel.
"What's your name?" she asked, reflecting that he was pretty hot.
"Liam," Angel answered shortly.
"Where do you hail from, friend?" Wes asked.
"I'm not your friend, you English pig! We never wanted you in Ireland," Angel replied fiercely.
"You don't sound Irish," Fred said doubtfully.
"Sure I d-" Angel stopped suddenly. "What's wrong with my voice?" he wandered off to a corner to listen to himself talk.
"Ok, anyone wonder why we're all here?" Cordy asked.
"Maybe it's a government conspricay," Fred suggested. They all looked at her when she started rambling on about the government.
"Maybe it's some sort of test for us," Cori indicated herself and Dani. "You know, like at our eighteenth birthday."
"I don't think so," Dani looked around doubtfully. "Wouldn't we be by ourselves?"
"I guess you're right," Cori shrugged.
Ha, a half attempt at a cliffhanger! Please review, and I'll put up the second part sooner!
