Okay, another chapter up and running. Much Whoo and Hoo.
The living room. Faith, Tara, and Cordy have just came back. Willow and Oz are shocked that Xander just gave such a speech, and more that Faith, Tara, and Cordy are back. Fred and Gunn are standing next to the lamp. Spike and Angel come rushing down stairs, apparently they smelt that the girls came back. Dawn and Connor came back as well. They are all gathered around the couch.
"I have a couple." Oz says.
"Go for it." The three say as one voice (the three being Faith, Tara, and Cordy)
"Okay, like Xander said, Cordy had gotten a vision, but why didn't you get it sooner?" Before Cordy has a chance to answer,
Riley opens the door and runs over to Xander. The entire time, he was saying,
"I'm here, Xander, why did you activate the devise? I'm here!" Xander jumps up from his chair. He goes over to Riley and gives him a handshake. Xander then turns back to everyone. He has a 'uh-oh' face on.
"Obviously I have some explaining to do." Every female in the room nods, them and Gunn. Xander motions to the space next to the lamp, and another couch appears, He then makes a wave near the phone, and 4 chairs appear.
"You all are going to need to sit down." They all do so. He begins explaining
"Okay. Let me just say this, everyone of you, know me in someway or another, weather its direct, or through the whole 6 degrees thing. Which Will, I still don't really understand, your gonna have to tell me about that later.
The point being, you all came here because I called you. I'm gonna get back to that later, but first I'm gonna tell you all a story, It's about a man in high school. Who just happened to be possessed by hyenas, now this man, he still remembers all about that experience, even thought he told all of his friends that he didn't remember any of it.
During the possession he had a variety of thoughts, some that I will not share, because we have a minor in the room, or actually 2. But that's not the issue, one of these thoughts, was very important. About the pack. Thee pack, the pack of his friends, or anyone remotely knowing of this man.
He felt that he had to protect his pack, no matter how far away they went he would always remain in contact with them. Now seven years later, he is still doing that, he remains in contact with everyone that has ever came in contact with him, or at least the important ones. Now I am that man, all of you know that, especially willow. I was so mean to you.
Okay, back on point, I called all of you here, each for a different reason. I'm gonna start with Riley. He gave me a device that once activated, would call him back here at a moment's notice; it would send a transmission to his cell phone. Then within a couple of hours, Riley would be here, which is how he got here now, I activated the device once I found out about Buffy, I felt, no, I feel that he should know. And Riley, I'm so sorry, but I'll have to get to that part of the story later, because we have more pressing issues then Buffy right now.
Mainly me. I have been in constant contact with all of you, especially those who live in LA. Because I know that you guys could be here in 3 hours notice. I wanted to make sure that you all were kept up to date on the recent occurrences here in Sunnydale.
Okay, Connor I called you because Dawn has been feeling very lonely lately, and I can tell by both of your blushes you have been getting to know each other. And easy dead boy, your lovely boy is fine. Oz, I called you here, because I knew that you would offer a level head during all of this.
Gunn, it never hurts to have some muscle on hand, but I don't think that you are just the muscle, you can handle a lot more then that, I think that Alonna would feel the same. Fred, I need someone that can so much math at once, not only is Dawn flunking math, I have some bills that just don't work for me, and a prophecy that has been bugging me.
Cordy, you are the central force in Angel Inc. If it wasn't for you, they would have crashed and burned, you are the heart. Tara, I bless you for listening to everything that I have said to you over the years. You have no idea how much Willow has missed you, but then you just might being as how I've told you so much every day for the past year and a half.
Faith, I love you deeply, You make it so I can get up in the morning, just to see your picture on my stand, I love waking up to your face. Knowing that you are paying for your crimes, that gives me such a good feeling deep down. But you already know that, being as how I have called you every day sense you were in prison.
Yes, Willow that is why my phone bills are so high. I believe that I have answered most if not all of your questions. So I'm gonna ask all of you to leave, and let me sleep, because its now, 3:30 in the morning, and sunrise will be coming shortly."
Everyone left with such a warm and fuzzy feeling inside, except for Spike, who stayed there.
"What prophesy?" Spike asks.
"The one where The Key, and the Destroyer destroy the world, but I don't think that will happen, the Key is long gone now, and we don't know anyone by the name of The Destroyer." Xander hoped to a couch, and curled up, and went to sleep. Spike leaves, not feeling that Xander has explained everything yet. Xander looks back at him, then rolls off to sleepy town.
Willows room. Cordy, Faith, and Tara are sitting on the bed. Oz comes in.
"Hey, Will, can I borrow some… Oh, hello everyone."
"Willow isn't here." Tara says, slipping off the bed and going up to Oz's face.
"Yeah, I kinda noticed" He sniffs the air.
"You don't smell me do you?" Cordy says. Oz shakes his head
"Its weird huh? Knowing somebody for so long, getting to know their scent, then on day looking at them, and immediacy knowing that its not the same. That they've changed." Faith adds
"Its because of her magic, it diluted her smell, made it wrong. But sometimes wrong is right." Cordy adds. Oz is just letting them finish each other's sentences.
"She murdered Warren, because he killed me. She had the right intention." Tara adds
"But the wrong thing done for the right reason is still the wrong thing. So before you come in here and accuse use of destroying the world, because of something that Xander said, maybe you should get the facts straight. Because we came back didn't we?" Faith finishes
"Yeah but for how long? And for what reason?" Oz asks
"Long enough. For whichever." Tara says.
"Fine." Oz leaves, and closes the door.
"Okay, back to the matter at hand, Willow murdered a human, and now she thinks that she can just walk around with the goody-two-shoes? We'll show her" Faith says. Willow appears next to her desk.
"Who summoned me?" Willow asks.
"We did. Willow you have done some horrible things, and they end now. Your job with the slayer is to protect the innocent, not punish the guilty, and you crossed that line. We won't let it happen again." They said as one voice.
"What are you talking about?"
"You murdered a human. Or have you forgotten?" Tara says
"No, I haven't, and I won't. What I did, it haunts me every single day of my life, some days I cant get up in the morning because of it. But I do, despite of it, I'm earning my redemption, and what are you doing, You think that you can just stroll into out lives, after being away for so long. And I'm talking about all you. So before you start attacking me, get the facts straight." Willow storms out.
"This is going to be fun" Faith says, the girls laugh.
The Kitchen. Dawn is making popcorn for Connor, Who is standing near the stove. He is watching Dawn dance as she puts the popcorn in the microwave. Dawn turns around.
"Are you laughing at me?"
"No, I think that its cute."
"Oh really?" She makes her way over to Connor
"Yeah, I mean the only girls that dance that I know of are Fred, when she's dusting, and Cordy when she listens to music, but I don't look at them the way that I look at you."
"And how's that?"
"Maybe if you dance some more, I'll tell you." She starts shaking her hips, and does this movement throughout her body to an unknown beat.
"Like this?"
"Yeah, perfect." Connor gets up and moves toward her, and, he takes her hand, puts them behind his neck and hold her waist, they start dancing together. They dance while looking into each other's eyes. They don't notice Angel and Spike looking at them. Connor leans down to give her a kiss, she returns the gesture. This is too much for both of the vamps, they shout in the movement.
"Connor no!"
"Bit, why?"
Connor and Dawn pull away from each other, and Connor slams into the stove, and Dawn into the fridge. They look toward their shoes. Angel reaches over to Connor, and pulls him close; Spike does the same with Dawn.
"Keep your sun from touching my Bit!!" Spike yells at the same time that Angel yells,
"Get your little Bit away from my sun!" Connor and Dawn break away from the grasps of their elders, Connor grabs hold of Dawn, and pulls her close to his chest, they make their way toured the door.
"It was our choice, now back off. There is nothing that you can do about it. Stop being so protective Spike!!"
Dawn says, opening the door. Connor starts backing out into the Sunlight.
"Don't come after us"
Connor says, as they leave the threshold and they start running side by side. Connor jumps up to the top of the wall, he sits done on it, he holds out his hand for Dawn, he pulls her up, then they both jump to the other side of the wall, out of Spike and Angel sight.
Meh.. Review if you wanna.
