"So, mom, dad, it's time to call in the calvary and stop the apocalypse."


Faye had to go outside. She was starting to feel like she couldn't breathe. Yeah, she had all the attitude and confidence in the world but seeing her parents before they were even her parents? It was starting to freak her out a little. It also hurt that they didn't believe her. Were they even really looking at her? She was clearly their daughter.

Leaning against a wall and putting her arms in her jacket pockets, sighing as she could hear Faith on the phone. Her senses were way beyond normal, so she could even make out that Faith was on the phone with Willow. Faye did say call in the calvary, she just didn't know who that'd consist of.

Closing her eyes and trying to relax but opened them quickly when she heard the door open and saw Angel walk out. If this were her reality, she run to him and he'd give her one of the best hugs in the world. But, this wasn't. Pushing herself off the wall and tilting her head a little. He looked so glum, she wondered if she could get him to smile now like she can in the future.

"She should probably be a little nicer to Willow if she wants her help."

Angel nodded and looked anywhere but Faye, "Yeah. She's just a little on edge right now. Not that you can blame her."

Faye nodded slowly and walked over to stand next to him, "Right. Mom always gets on edge though. I mean there was this one time I was out for five minutes past my ridiculous curfew and she almost called the whole gang over for a search party." She smiled at him and then laughed a little as she rememebered.

The corner of Angel's mouth perked up at that. He knew it was in the future and it may not even happen if they don't stop whatever is coming but it was nice to hear the story.

"Funny. I don't think you should call her mom. Not around her anyway. She may not like it," he said with an actual smile.

Faye laughed again and looked in the door, seeing Faith pacing back and forth while on the phone. "Yeah, well she'll just have to deal."

Angel smiled a little more and shook her head. He could see that Faye was more than a handful. He could see that she was so much like her mother already, and part of him wanted to know everything about her. His smile faded as he started to wonder if they'll ever have that.

Faith walked outside, looking back and forth between Angel and Faye, stopping on Angel and sighed. "Red, Spike and B are coming. Figured that they are the best to call."

Angel rolled his eyes at the mention of Spike but turned around and nodded, crossing his arms, "Sounds fine to me."

Faye was grinning now, standing next to Angel and shrugging, "Gotta add the best with the best, right? At least, that's what you both always say."

Faith gave her a fake sweet smile, which was obvious and then turned back inside. Faye's smile faded and she shook her head. Angel patted the girl on the shoulder, not mockingly and it comforted her more than she'd ever let on, before following Faith inside.

Faye shook her head again, smiling, "Parent."
