Robby slowly opened her eyes and saw the sun shining through the window.
'What a nightmare!' she thought, 'the world was ending and I...' she turned over and saw Connor sleeping beside her, 'Oh god it was real.'
She turned away from him again and put her hand over her forehead. This was not good. She couldn't stick around for much longer, there were to many other places that needed vampire slayers. She couldn't take Connor with her, that would get complicated. For starters he was already a stranger to his dad. There was no way she could take him away from his parent.
"Mourning," said Connor smiling, "did the world end?"
"Guess not," she didn' t look at him.
He kissed her shoulder, "So we get a chance after all huh?"
"Looks like it."
"What?"
She moved so she was on her back facing him, "Last night was special Connor..."
"I know."
"But it can't happen again."
"Why not?"
"Because I can't stay here."
"You're leaving."
"I have to."
"Why?"
"L.A. and Sunnydale aren't the only places that have vampires and demons. I have to help them."
"I'll go with you."
"You can't."
"So you don't want me?" he grabbed his clothes and started to get dressed.
"That's not what I meant."
"Then what did you mean?"
"I meant you have to stay here," she fumbled around looking for her shirt, "you have a dad and people that care about you. You can't just run away from that."
"I don't care! You care about me."
"Connor..."
"You said you did!"
"I'm not going to be responsible for you dying! It's dangerous out there and I don't want you to get hurt!"
"What do you expect me to just forget about this!"
"Yes! We aren't normal people Connor! We can't just run off and elope like a couple of love struck high school kids! Demons know who I am and no matter where I run they find me and things don't go well for people around me when they do!"
"Elope?"
"Get married in one of those 24 hour Vegas chapels."
"Like Rachel and Ross?"
"Yeah only they...not the point! I'm telling you, you can't come with me. Besides we're facing an apocolypes, we'll be lucky to survive until tomorrow."
"Don't make excuses. Why don't you want me to go with you? There's another reason I know there is!"
"I don't want you to come because I care."
"Yeah that makes sense."
"Connor! Robby!" Angel yelled from the lobby.
Robby started for the door but Connor grabbed her arm, "Please don't..."
"Connor, we can't make this work," she kissed him, "I'm sorry. This hurts me too."
"Are you two alright?" asked Angel when they got downstairs.
"We're fine," said Robby.
"Peachy," mummbled Connor.
"We need to form a plan," said Wesely.
"There's a demon," said Robby, "it's made of stone and it popped out of the barrels of the earth. From what I saw he's gonna be hard to beat."
Connor nodded in agreement.
"Well let's get to work identifying it."
Everyone went to the books except Angel who went over to Connor, "Can I talk to you in my office?" he whispered.
"Yeah, sure dad."
They went into his office and Angel sat at his desk, "Is there something you want to tell me?"
"No, why?"
"Connor, I can smell..."
"What?"
"Her. On...you and vice versa."
"So."
"So you seemed to be giving her the cold shoulder."
"You were here for five seconds and you think I'm giving her the cold shoulder."
"I'm just saying after," he cleared his throat, "what the two of you did I'd have thought you'd...I don't know...maybe put your arm around her or something?"
"Why?"
"Well your...possesive. In a good way!" he added quickly.
Connor looked at his feet., "It was her decision."
"What happened?"
"She thought the world was ending so we...you know. Then she said she had to leave."
"To go where?"
"Other places she needs to protect. To hide from demons that are after her."
"I see."
"I wanted to go with her."
"Oh."
"She wouldn't let me."
"She doesn't seem like the kind of person that would settle down."
"I know but...I just thought maybe..."
"You love her?"
"Wha...?"
"You love her."
"I...I..." he nodded.
"Son, I know what it's like to love someone and because of the life we live not be with them."
"Does it always hurt like this?"
"Not forever. It eases after a while."
"Does it ever go away?"
"No Connor it doesn't."
"But she will."
"What do we need him for?" asked the Beast.
"We just need him here," said Cordelia.
"And when he comes?"
"I'll kill him, right after he gives me my own little bundle of joy."
