Los Angeles, California 2 days later:
Angel and Lorne came into lob lobby of the hotel followed closely by everyone that came from Sunnydale. Angel had never been so glad to see the inside of the hotel and at the same time he didn’t want to be there. He was going to have answer a whole lot of questions from the gang. He flopped down on the circle couch that was in the lobby. “I wonder where everyone is?”
Xander smiled tiredly, “Cordy probably has them out carrying her shopping bags.”
Angel smiled, “Maybe. Most likely she had a vision and they’re out fighting. I hope everything’s okay.” He looked up when the door opened. “Speak of the devil”
Cordy looked around in surprise. “What’s everyone doing here? Is everything okay Angel?” She walked in and put her Gucci bag down.
“Where is everyone, Cordy?” Angel asked.
“Wes and Gunn are out chasing down info on a case, nothing going on.” Cordy said.
Dawn spoke up, “My sister, Buffy, has turned into the biggest bitch in the world. She wants to be the only slayer in the world. She turned on everyone. She made Willow and Giles work like dogs while she bitched at and complained at them. Killing every demon in sight that she came across whether she should or not.”
Cordy frowned. She had always thought Buffy was a bitch but not that big of one. “So does that mean everyone will be staying her in LA then?” She looked at Giles and felt as if she could cry at what she saw when she looked at him. She remembered him as the tweed-wearing librarian now he looked like a weak and tired old man. “Oh Giles.” She walked over and hugged him carefully.
Giles smiled at what a pretty young lady Cordelia Chase turned into. “Hello Cordelia. It’s been a long time.” He hugged her back. “Angel told me many good things about you. You get the visions of who needs help from the PTB. I couldn’t be more proud of you.”
Cordelia’s eyes watered, “Thank you Giles.”
Angel smiled at the reunion going on, truthfully Cordy really only disliked Buffy in the Sunnydale crew. “I think maybe I should show everyone up to their rooms. Everyone needs to rest.”
The Sunnydale crew followed Angel up the stairs to the hotel’s rooms. He gave Ethan and Giles one with a queen size bed. He was going to give Dawn the next room but stopped when she started squealing.
“I want this room down here. Look it’s got its own bathroom and it has a queen size bed and a huge mirror. Can I have this one please please please?” Dawn begged.
Angel nodded because he didn’t want to take the smile off her face. It was the first smile he’d seen since he got to Sunnydale. “Of course you can.” He gave the bedroom he was originally going to give Dawn to Spike and Xander instead. “Well you all get some sleep and I’ll see you downstairs in the morning.
*********************************
Next Morning:
Angel and Lorne were talking quietly in the corner of the room. “I think it would be a good idea if they sing for me. I know that none of them are evil or are trying to get your soul but with that crazy slayer running around I just want to be sure they’re all going to be okay.”
Angel sighed but consented. “Okay Lorne. You’re right they should sing for you just in case.”
Lorne laughed, “I’m always right.”
Angel slapped Lorne on the ass, as he was walking away, “Don’t be cocky with me.”
Lorne stared at Angel, shocked that he just slapped him on the ass. He cleared this throat and walked over to where everyone was sitting in the lobby. “Everyone from Sunnydale listen up pretty please. I’m going to ask you all to sing for me. With everything that’s going on I’d like to be sure that you all are going to be safe. I’m sure everything will be fine but I just want to be sure.”
“That makes sense. Who would you like to go first?” Xander asked.
Dawn came walking out the office singing to the borrowed Britney Spears cd that Cordy let her borrow that morning. Cordy was more the willing to let her borrow one of the two cd players that she kept there. She said that she needed them because Angel didn’t have a television.
Boys, sometimes a girl just needs one
Boys, to love her and to hold
Boys, and when a girl is with one
Boys, then she's in control
Pulled your boy off the dance floor
Screamin' in his hear
Must of said something about me, 'cause he's looking over here
You looking at me with that sexy attitude
But the way your boy's movin' it, it puts me in the mood
What would it take for you to just leave with me?
Not tryin' to sound conceited but me and you were meant to be
You're a sexy guy, I'm a nice girl
Let's turn this dance floor into our own little nasty world
Lorne closed his eyes and let the visions come to him from her voice. “I see Buffy coming after you guys. She’s coming to try and take Dawn from you. Just to be spiteful she doesn’t really want her. She just wants you to suffer.” He opened his eyes and looked at Spike and Xander.
Xander snarled. “She’s not getting Dawn.”
Spike held on to Xander’s arm, “She won’t I promise Xander. We’ll protect her.”
Dawn walked over and sat on the couch. She kept singing like she didn’t hear what was being said but she heard and had faith that Spike and Xander would protect her from Buffy. She smiled slightly, knowing that her new family would protect her. She glanced around at the Sunnydale gang and the LA gang they were her new family.
“Ok. It’s Ethan and Giles’s turn.”
Giles was still a little weak from all he went through with Buffy so he stayed seated.
“Are you ready Ripper?” Ethan asked, pulling Giles into his arms.
“Yes Ethan love.”
I thought I knew, the magic of you
And then, you kissed me Dear,
when you kissed me I simply stood there and gazed,
completely amazed I walked around,
both feet on the ground
And then, you kissed me Dear,
when you kissed me I found myself on a cloud,
apart from the crowd I had nothing to glow about
You came by
Now I know all there's to know about
Things like stars in the sky
I will confess I thought for awhile
That you'd resist me
But then you kissed me
And now I'm in love
Lorne closed his eyes as the images began to flow from the song.
“I see Giles lying in a hospital bed with tubes and monitors hooked up to him.”
Ethan looked down at Giles, eyes wide with fear.
“Is it bad Lorne?”
“Yes Ethan it is.”
Giles didn’t say a word. He knew that he was sick, sicker than anyone knew about. He didn’t want to tell any one though. He just got Ethan back. He wasn’t about to loose him again even if it cost him his life.
Ethan looked at Giles again.
“You know how sick you are, don’t you Ripper?”
Giles looked at Ethan with a pained look in his eyes. Ethan stood up from sitting.
"Yes Ethan...I know how sick I am."
Ethan took a few steps away from Giles
“Why didn’t you tell me?” Ethan didn’t realize that he was yelling until he saw Giles with tears streaming down his face.
“I just got you back Ethan. I couldn’t bear the thought of losing you again. So I thought it would be best if I didn’t tell you how sick I am.”
Ethan went back to Giles and wrapped him in his arms.
"You won't lose me ever Ripper. We'll think of something to help you get better."
Ethan leaned down and kissed Giles.
“I love you Ripper.”
“I love you Ethan.”
“Next time tell me when you are sick ok. Tell me when you first feel it even if it’s something tiny ok?”
“I promise my love. I promise.”
“Come on Ripper; let’s get you back to bed.”
“Alright love.”
Ethan helped Giles up and slowly led him to their bedroom.
The entire crew watched Ethan and Giles walk up the stairs with tears in their eyes.
Dawn ran to Lorne and started pounding his chest; “You have to make Giles better. You have too.”
She sobbed on Lorne’s chest.
Spike held on to Xander while he cried. “Did you see what was making him so sick?”
Lorne shook his head as he rocked a sobbing Dawn. “No I didn’t. I just saw that he’s sick. I’m sorry.”
Angel wrapped his arm around Lorne’s shoulders. “It’s not your fault baby.”
Spike and Angel looked at one another they knew if it came right down to it they’d turned Giles before they’d let him die.
Spike whispered, “I’m sure we’ll find something. There has to be a spell.”
Wesley walked away from the group and sat at the desk with his books, determined to find something to help his mentor.
