[/font][/size]atheryn 'Kathy' Anne O'Connor was bored.

No, really, she was so bored that she was literally sitting in the hallway watching paint dry. Buffy’s friends had finished repainting the upstairs of the boarding house earlier and so since her big brother was still asleep Kathy was sitting at the end of the hallway with her back on the only part that was dry, watching as the paint dried. It was one of the dullest things she had ever done (and that was saying something in 200 and some odd years) but really, what else could she do? She couldn’t go out in the sunlight (though according to something Buffy told her she was working on it, though she refused to tell her how), she couldn’t go talk to anyone because no one was home, so she was reduced to sitting watching paint dry.

She would normally be watching television but she didn’t want to wake up her brother and the other televisions had been taken down while they repainted. So here she sat, her mind making up shapes and designs in the wet paint to try and curb her boredom. She had tried to work on her writing but needless to say it hadn’t worked when she hit a wall with it.

Finally admitting defeat she snuck back downstairs, sneaking into her room and turning her television on low. She knew it would probably still wake Angel up but she couldn’t help it. It was almost sundown so he needed to get up anyway (according to her of course since technically he could have slept all day if he really wanted to). Flipping through the channels she settled on Power Puff Girls and watched as Bubbles, Blossom and Buttercup fought evil. A commercial break made her want to whine since they usually bored her but something on the television caught her eye. A waterpark which would usually make her sad actually made her do a happy dance. One night a week (tonight of all nights!) they had a nighttime swim! From 6pm-Midnight they were open for those who wanted to swim at night.

Forgetting her promise to let her brother sleep the young girl bounded into her brother’s room and jumped on his bed, giggling as she literally bounced on top of his bare chest. “Angeeeeelllll.” She called out, giggling hysterically.

Since the showdown at the Boarding House, none of the other gang had been staying there. They had the house painted but so far, hadn’t moved in yet. This was fine with Angel as he wasn’t exactly excited to see any of them at the moment. More specifically, Buffy or Spike as he couldn’t look at either one of them. Now he was fine with Willow but typically she wouldn’t go anywhere without Buffy, so you see his problem. Although he didn’t want to be at the boarding house either he hadn’t really had a choice. Katheryn had wanted to stay here in the basement again, like they had originally been doing. It wasn’t a big deal other than knowing that feet away from his bed, Buffy had slept with Angelus.

However he’d put on a brave face and agreed to stay here, against his better wishes. So here he was asleep in the same basement he’d not only been re-ensouled in, but betrayed in as well. It was needless to say that Angel hadn’t been a very happy camper lately. The only thing that did keep him in a decent mood was the fact that Katheryn was here with him. After her initial weariness of him, she was now back to her normal sense. No longer was she afraid to go near him or let him hug her, she was back to bouncing around and hanging on him. This was more than okay with Angel, it was the only thing keeping him sane at this point. Although they were siblings he felt much more like she was his daughter than anything else. He had raised her, while their father hadn’t ever been around.

In the middle of sleeping he felt something slam onto his chest. With an ”oomf”

his eyes widened as he seen that it was Kathy. Allowing himself to relax his mucles a bit, his brown eyes met her blue orbs. ”Is everything okay?”

[/color] he asked her patiently, not caring one bit that she was sitting right on top of him. It didn’t really bother him, he didn’t need to breathe and even if he didn’t she wasn’t heavy enough to prevent it. Hearing the sounds of her giggles filling the room he couldn’t help but allow a small half smile to come onto his face.

Seeing her face was a welcoming awakening to the dreams he’d been having. He couldn’t quite call them nightmares, only because they didn’t exactly scare him. Instead, they actually just kind of pissed him off. He dreamt about Buffy and Angelus…him and Angelus were different people, they killed Angel so they could be together. It was a stupid dream but he simply couldn’t seem to forget about what she’d done to him. Thankfully, he had Katheryn here, she was all that mattered now. [/blockquote][/color]

K

[/font][/size]atheryn 'Kathy' Anne O'Connor was amused.

Her older brother looked rumpled in his gray sweat pants and what she at first thought was his bare chest actually had a white wife beater on top of it. His hair was a bit messed up with was unusual for the older vampire since he was fairly meticulous about his appearance. She had always been amused by this since really what did it matter when no one saw them except for a few people within the boarding house. Then again, no one was back yet from wherever the hell they were staying so she guessed it wasn’t too odd.

She was getting off topic here.

She couldn't help but giggle again, this time at his messy hair. Running her small hand through his hair she messed it up even more before tracing the lines on his face that the dents on the pillows had made. "You look sleeeeeepy." She told him in a sing song voice, clearly enjoying herself. Some would find it strange that she was literally sitting on top of her brother's chest and this didn't bother of them. Some would say it was inappropriate, but none understood her and Angel if they said that. Most would look at them and say that siblings shouldn't be this close. Well they were right...siblings usually weren't this close. However to Kathy, Angel wasn't her sibling, wasn't her older brother...nope...he was her father and the only reason she didn't call him that was because she was scared he wouldn't like it. So she called him Angel instead, though she had almost slipped more than once, which luckily he hadn't ever caught.

"Everything is finnneeeeee." She told him, knowing she was probably annoying him but not really caring one way or another. If she was a normal child one would call her ADD or ADHD since one moment she was scared shitless of him, then the next she was annoying him to no end, then the next she acted like a sixteen year old, and then the minute after that she was acting like a ten year old. Her moods and actions changed constantly but she was always the sweet little girl she had been raised to be.

Leaning down so she was face to face with her brother, she grinned at him. She was literally a hairsbreadth apart from Angel, her eyes locked on his and while most would call her completely invading his personal space, she called it getting what she wanted. “Angel?” She asked with a pout of her tiny lips. “How much do you love me?” She asked him, her eyes widening into what Spike called the ‘puppy dog eyes’. “Do you love me enough to do something that you reallllly aren’t going to want to do?” She asked him and then jumped onto explain, rambling on as only a child could.

“You see I was watching tv because there was nothing to do other than watch paint dry which I did for awhile but then got bored. So I was watching Power Puff Girls and Bubbles, Buttercup and Blossom were doing weird kicks and stuff to defeat the monkey dude whose name I can never remember when it went on commercial. I hate commercials, they are dumb and boring and way too many of them happen in a half an hour long program. Anyway there was this commercial on about a water park that had night time hours and since as you know I’m a vampire I can only do stuff at night but I don’t want to go by myself so will you go with me will you will you will youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu?”

As she sat on him, he seen the look in her eyes. Certainly she was enjoying herself and now that he heard her giggle again, it was apparent that he was the one amusing her. How he’d amused her so much when he’d been sleeping he honestly had no clue. Then again it really wasn’t all that hard to amuse Katheryn in the first place. Not as if she was dumb or anything like that, as she was far from dumb. It was because deep down she was still only a girl. She could drive a car and wear makeup (though not under Angel’s watch) all she wanted but she was still only a little girl.

Not just any little girl but she was his little girl. The love he held for this girl, he couldn’t even describe. It was sibling love and yet it wasn’t at the same time. It was the bond that father and daughter had, one he knew he’d never have again as Connor wasn’t in his life and hadn’t been since he was a baby. However, that was an entirely different story all together; one that he didn’t feel like even thinking about.

Feeling her ruffle his hair, he simply let her. She was one of the two people in this world he would let touch his hair and the other, was out of his life. ”Well, I did just wake up..I think that’s customary”

the vampire said simply. He wasn’t being sarcastic with her, he was simply stating it. The half smile was still present on his features so she would know that he wasn’t upset that she’d woke him up. He didn’t need to sleeping any longer anyways, it was nearly nightfall. Despite what was going on his life and his heart, he didn’t need to be brooding all the time, especially not around Katheryn.

Hearing her emphasize that everything was fine, he realized that she’d probably just been bored. There wasn’t really anything for her to do in this house other than watch programs on the television. Even with her liking watching TV, it had to get boring eventually. He felt bad for sleeping so long, feeling guilty that she’d been awake and by herself for however long. ”Good. Have you eaten?”

[/color] Of course, he had to ask if she’d eaten. The fatherly role in his soul screamed out to make sure that she was eating alright, as any father would worry about their daughter.

As her face moved in on his, he couldn’t help but brush her nose with his. It had been something that he’d always done back then, back when they had both been human. ”Katheryn”[/color] he stated simply, knowing that she wanted something from him. Despite how slick she thought she was, Angel knew her better than anyone else in the entire world. When she wanted something she pouted her lips; like she was doing right now. ”Depends…what is it that you want to do?”[/color] Although it appeared as if he was going to barter with her, they both knew he’d give in to her demands. There was no way he could resist a face like that, he had never been able to before and this would be no different.

Listening to her babble he couldn’t help but chuckle a bit. Honestly she was the only thing holding him here in Richmond, holding him here around Buffy. If not for her, he would have left that night in the Boarding House when his soul had been returned to him. A small grumble erupted from the vampire at hearing her request. A water park, really? That was one of the places Angel had never been and hadn’t ever expected to go. ”Do I have to?”[/color] he asked her, though he’d already known the answer before he even finished his sentence. Seeing the pouty look on her face, he knew he’d already lost this battle.

With a small sigh, he admitted defeat. ”Fine…but I don’t have to swim, do I?”[/color] Again, he knew that he was going to lose this battle too. Angel hadn’t ever even seen himself in a bathing suit, and didn’t even own one. He hoped to dear god that he’d never have to wear one either. It was just too…strange to even contemplate. Of course he’d probably be forced to wear one, which would certainly make him a grumpy vampire.[/blockquote][/color]

[/font][/size]atheryn 'Kathy' Anne O'Connor was thankful she didn’t have to breathe.

No, really, it was a really good thing she could never run out of breath because if she could it probably would have happened long before she was done talking half the time. Even though most saw her as a timid shy little girl, those who knew her knew that she could be a chatty Kathy (literally, tehehehe) when she wanted to be. She could talk to anyone and anything if they got to know her (as long as they didn’t scare her) and in doing so she tended to get highly excited about things.

Ignoring Angel's truthful comments and questions about waking up and eating, she went in for the kill, nuzzling his nose back in their customary greeting that they used to share back when they were both humans. She heard him grumble before she had even finished her spiel but that didn't stop her from continuing. Ohhhh no, she was a woman...well...a girl on a mission and she would get what she wanted. She always did. That may have made her sound spoiled but she didn't care. She was spoiled and she liked it...at least she wasn't a brat about it.

Finally finishing her request she took a deep, though unnecessary breath of air, signaling to her older brother that she was finished and was waiting for an answer. "Yes!!!!" She told him excitedly when he asked if he had to do this. Her excitement was enhanced by her bouncing up and down on her older brother's chest. Any other man would have made her move (most likely off of his bed as well) but not Angel! Nope! He'd let her get away with anything with a smile as long as she was happy, and she knew that darn good and well.

Grinning when he admitted defeat she squealed and threw her arms around his neck, snuggling into his neck with a happy sigh. "Yes you do!" She told him excitedly, giggling at the thought of her mysterious older brother holding on to a yellow raft and going down a water slide with her. She wondered if this water park had cameras, she bet Buffy would like a picture of that. Smacking a kiss on his cheek she jumped off of his chest and ran into her room, yelling a "THANK YOU ANGEL!" as she did and immediately started going through her things to find the perfect swimming suit to wear. Finding two that she loved she put them on her bed before running to her brother's room again. "Angel? If I show you my swim suits will you tell me which one I should wear?" She asked him and before he gave her an answer she ran back and grabbed all four of her Hello Kitty swimsuits and then another one that wasn’t Hello Kitty was it was still cute.

"I'll show you one and you can tell me if you like it or not k?" She asked him with a grin, hoping he'd agree. She was sooooo excited! She loved swimming!

Dear god, what had he gotten himself into? When he had accepted defeat and agreed to this what the hell had he been thinking? This was so out of character for him, swimming for Christ’s sake. Angel hadn’t swum since he’d been human and even then they hadn’t had “swimming trunks”. Now he found himself wondering if he could really go through with this. Although even though he wondered, he already knew the answer. The second he saw just how excited she was about this he knew that there was no backing out. She would be disappointed if she did and he simply couldn’t handle that. Angel didn’t like to disappoint anyone and certainly not her of all people. He was locked into this now, much to his dismay.

As she bounced up and down on him, he was glad that he didn’t need to breathe. If he did the breath certainly would have been knocked right out of him. Luckily for them, neither of them actually needed to breathe. On occasion he would for emphasis…but it was certainly a rare occasion when it did happen. Another grumble came from him as she squealed in happiness. Yes, this was really happening as much as he wished it wasn’t. Luckily for her, he had never been able to tell her no, though this was a good thing in her point of view. She knew that he couldn’t tell her no and she definitely used that to her advantage. Even though they’d spent centuries apart, it was as if they’d never been separated in the first place. They were almost as close now as they had ever been, thankfully enough. If she hadn’t been here when he’d found out about Buffy and Angelus…about Spike and Buffy…he surely would have lost it right then and there.

A few more chuckles came from the elderly vampire as she squeezed around his neck. Again, he was thankful he didn’t need to breathe as she literally would have choked him. ”We’ll see about that”

Angel said devilishly. If he found a way to get out of swimming he planned on taking it. More than likely he was going to have to end up doing it anyways but still, he was going to try his best to find a way around it.

Sealing the deal with a kiss on his cheek, he was certain he wasn’t going to get his way tonight. Mumbling something like, “yeah, your welcome…” he stood up off his bed as she went into her room. Before he even had time to go to his dresser to change she was back, talking extremely quickly as she so liked to do. Hearing her question, he couldn’t help but feel a tad bit awkward. Not because it was weird, simply because he felt like it was something that a woman should do. Vaguely he wished that he didn’t currently despise Buffy so that she could be here for this. ”Umm..okay?”

[/color] he said unsurely, not trying to make it obvious that he had no clue what he was doing. Not only did he not have any clue about fashion whatsoever but even more so, he had no clue about little girl’s clothing either. Tonight was definitely going to be…interesting, if not strange. More than likely? It would be a mixture of both.

Yeah, he was completely out of his element right now.[/blockquote][/color]

K

[/font][/size]atheryn 'Kathy' Anne O'Connor squealed.

She was actually sort of surprised that her older brother was going along with this. She knew that he was as far away from a ‘fashionista’ as one could get, seemingly sticking towards dark colors where as she would jump out in pinks and purples, he stuck to blacks and dark blues. She grinned at him, her white teeth gleaming in the lights that sometime in between her running out and running back in had been switched back on. Seeing the chair in the corner she set all five swim suits down and looked to see which one she wanted to show first.

“Okay, so I’m going to list them 1-5…you tell me which one you like best!” She told him with a grin, not even thinking about the fact that she was essentially torturing her older brother. Sure she knew he wasn’t someone who was into fashion but this was fun for her so she simply figured it was fun for everyone! Picking the first swim suit that she’d only worn once (and Anthony had yelled at her that it was for older ‘women’ before making her change) she showed it to him. “This is Option 1!” She showed him the black bikini with pink trim and Hello Kitty's face on the side. It was a bit too low cut (according to Anthony it was more than 'a bit') but it's not like she had anything to show so why did she care? Of course when she had said that to Anthony he told her to go change and to not say anything anymore about the subject (guys were so weird!).

Putting the first option down she picked up the second one. This was the only swim suit that she owned that didn't have Hello Kitty on it but it was still cute so it worked. "This is Option 2." She told him, showing him the red and white polka-dot tankini. It was pretty basic but still something she would wear. It was actually one of the few that she had worn a couple times already. Putting it down she picked up option 3. “This is Option 3.” She explained. This one was most of a 'kiddish' bikini (something that Anthony still was annoyed about as apparently kids shouldn't wear bikinis). It was pink and blue with a bit of yellow and ruffles. She had worn it a few times when swimming a couple years ago.

Putting down option 3 and picking up option 4 she turned back to her brother. "This is Option 4.. This swim suit was fairly similar to option 3 though different colors (this one mimicking the flag) and without ruffles. Putting it down and picking up the last one she held this one up to show him. "This is Option 5, the last one." She told him with a grin. Showing off the basic bikini that was all black with red strings and Hello Kitty's face on it. "Which one do you like?" She asked him, her young eyes wide with excitement.

The next time he heard her squeal he could have sworn that he felt his ears ring. What was actually really weird? Angel found her squealing strangely adorable. In all of the darkness that had consumed him lately, she was his light. She was his anchor to this world and these dark times and she would be the one to allow him to heal from all of it. Watching the small girl he saw how she laid out all of her different swim suits on the chair in his room. He noticed how much fabric wasn’t there but tried not to be too skeptical. After all he had no clue what was about to unfold in front of him, and didn’t want to shoot down her ideas before seeing all of the options.

Hearing how excited she was, he watched intently as she began to lay each one out. With a small nod, he showed her that he was ready to see all of them. Honestly Angel wasn’t very good with children these days. Despite having been great with her while being human, that had been a long time ago. The fact that he was being put into this situation made him feel a bit anxious. Still he knew he’d do his best as he had to, he didn’t want to disappoint her. As she held up the first one, he couldn’t help but cringe at the pure sight of it. This definitely wasn’t going to be fun for him like it would be for her. ”Uhhh – maybe not that one…”

the elderly vampire said, his feelings of awkwardness clearing showing right through to the girl. He hadn’t been able to help it; that clearly wasn’t something a child should be wearing.

Although he didn’t exactly like her second option either, it was at least better than the first. Anything had to be better than the first, didn’t it? Eyes shifting back and forth to all of the pieces, he tried to hold back the sensation to just rip it to shreds. Without saying a word he slowly nodded for her to continue. Seeing how little there was to option number three he shook his head profusely in protest. There was no way she was going to wear this one either, not while he was around. Immediately looking away after shaking his head, he waited as she continued. Angel knew that if he could have a stroke, he already would have.

Option four was no better than number three. Again he shook his head, no smile or joking attitude apparent anywhere on his features. He had hated almost every option she’d shown him with a passion. Finally she finished things off with a bang. At seeing the fifth option, he couldn’t help but stand up quickly and yank it out of her hands. He hadn’t been able to hold himself back when he’d seen the itty bitty bikini. Taking it away from her, he hurried and went into the bathroom and tossed it. Coming back into the room, he glared at her like a father would their daughter trying to wear something like that. ”Definitely not that one. Ever.”

[/color] With this, he walked over to all of the options.

Finally deciding on one, he picked up option number two and handed it to her. ”What about this one? But, with this”[/color] he said, signaling for her to wait a second. Walking over to his own dresser he picked out one of his own black t-shirt's and handed it to her. Moving back to her, he placed the black t-shirt against her. It hung so low that it looked like a dress, nearly coming to her ankles. ”There. Perfect”[/color] he said with a grin, knowing that the only skin she’d be showing would be her ankles.

K

[/font][/size]atheryn 'Kathy' Anne O'Connor bounced.

She waited to see what her older brother would say, knowing that he was most likely going to give her crap about having five freaking swim suits. She would never admit that she actually had a couple other ones in her suit case that she rarely wore because they weren’t as cute as her Hello Kitty ones. No one truly needed eight swim suits like she had but she found them on sale and they were cute so she bought them. She usually didn’t spend money on things like that as they were unnecessary but she couldn’t resist when she saw Hello Kitty. Hello Kitty was definitely her weakness.

Hearing him deny her first option she pouted but nodded, figuring it was easy to compromise. When she felt the fifth option being ripped out of hand she pouted even harder, sticking her tongue out at his back as he stomped to the bathroom and chucked it in the bathroom before coming back. Crossing her arms she stared at her older brother, immediately going from looking like she was 10 to looking like she was a petulant sixteen year old who was mad at her father. "Annngeelll." She whined at him.

She watched as he stared at her other swim suits before handing her the second one, the only one without Hello Kitty on it. She took it from his hands and watched as he walked over to his dresser and grabbed out a piece of black fabric. She stared at him with a very unpleasant look as he held up the black shirt against her where it fell to her ankles. "I don't think so." She told him haughtily before moving away from him, picking up her other swim suits and heading out of his room. "I'll meet you at the door in ten. You wear what you want and I'll wear what I want." She called to him before stomping off to her room, once again sounding like a teenager that she would never be.

Entering her room she threw on her hot pink tankini quickly, throwing her hair up in a messy bun. Grabbing her pink tube dress that flared out at the bottom with a white bow she put that on as well, before grabbing her pink and white flip flops. Taking her beach bag and her beach towel she skipped out of her room and headed up the stairs and next to the door. Tapping her flip flop on the hardwood floor she waited for her older brother to get a move on.

Although he definitely hated that first swim suit with a passion, it made him feel guilty to see her pouting about it. Seeing those little lips puff up and then frown tore at his heart. However he needed to stay strong and not let her guilt him into anything. He knew what was wrong and what was right, certainly better than she did. As he would soon see, she made trying to stay strong very difficult. When he returned from throwing out her fifth option, she had the full look going. Somehow it had changed from a sad puppy to an annoyed teenager, and then back to pouting. Why were girls so hard to deal with when it concerned their clothes? He remembered watching Buffy fret about what to wear, deciding that nothing was ever good enough. Personally, he had never understood it.

Hearing her whining he shook he stared at her incredulously. ”Katheryn, come on. Did you see that?”

It was more of a rhetoric question than anything else. His voice clearly told her that option number five wasn’t even an option, making sure to make that quite clear. Right in this moment he definitely felt like a father. If he hadn’t been sure about those feelings before, he was now for sure. She was basically his daughter and he treated her as such whether she wanted it or not. He couldn’t be her friend like Buffy and Spike could be, and Willow. He had to be the one to shoot her outfits down and tell her right and wrong, as much as he hated it.

Seeing the look on her face as he held up the black shirt was absolutely priceless. It kind of made him want to smirk, but he held it back for now, not wanting to piss her off even more. ”What’s wrong with this?”

[/color] he said, attempting to place it on her once again as she walked away from him. He was clearly being a pain in the ass but then again, so was she. He couldn’t help it if he didn’t want his eleven year old sister, daughter, whatever, walking around with no clothes on. Watching her storm out of the room a small smile drew across his face. Mission accomplished.

After searching and searching through all of the drawers downstairs, he actually did end up finding a pair of swim trunks. They were plain black and he was pretty sure that they were left over from having worked at Wolfram & Hart. Though he’d never worn them, they had an indoor pool in the gym facility at the building. Throwing those on with a t-shirt he looked down at himself and simply grimaced. God, the things he did for her. After he was finished and he seen her outfit, he looked down at decided that it really wasn’t all that bad. As long as she kept the little dress thing on, it would be fine. ”Are you ready?”[/color] he asked, feeling completely awkward as he stood there in swimming trunks. As he said this he reached for his hand and led them out to the car. [/blockquote][/color]- - - - - - - - - - - -

[/font][/size]atheryn 'Kathy' Anne O'Connor annoyed.

Her brother was slow, that was all there was to it. Seriously, how long did it take to put on some freaking swim trunks? When she had gone swimming with Anthony and Scott they had been ready in less than a minute and had laughed at her because it took girls so long to get ready. All they had to do was put on a pair of swim trunks and whether they chose to put a shirt on was completely up to you. Throw on a pair of flip flops and they were good to go.

Unfortunately for girls they had to make sure they had shaved their legs (though Kathy didn’t have to worry about that thankfully), make sure their hair looked semi decent, put on their swim suit, then their cover up, then their flip flops and then usually make sure they had a bag with them with extra clothing and everything else that went along with a beach, pool, or water park. It was not an easy thing to just go somewhere (anywhere) for any girl and guys took advantage of that fact by making fun of their girlfriends, wives, sisters, mothers, whoever they were.

Finally, FINALLY her older brother walked up the stairs and looked her up and down. She could see where this was going. He was going to expect her to keep the cover up on. Little did he know that the cover up was simply to walk in...not to swim in. Eh, she'd let him live in his little imaginary world for a bit longer. Silly big brother. Tilting her head to the side, her curls falling to one side she looked at his shirt. "Blue and black aren't supposed to be worn together Angel." She told him as he grabbed her hand and led them out to the car. "Want to drive myyyy car?" She asked with a grin before following him to his. Yeah, she doubted he wanted to drive her pink and black car again. Not even she was that lucky.

Sitting in the passenger seat she buckled up her seat belt and waited for him to get in. Once the car was started up she reached into her swim bag and grabbed her Hannah Montana CD, putting it into the cd player. We signed our cards and letters BFF, you’ve got a million ways to make me laugh. You’re looking out for me, you’ve got my back. played in the background and she sang along quietly to it, not even thinking about how torturous Hannah Montana would sound to her older brother.

As his sister commented on his attire, he found himself feeling awkward once again. With a dumbfounded look on his face he looked down, looking at his clothes before looking back up at her with wide eyes. ”They’re not?”

he asked confusedly. Since when was that a rule? He must have missed that memo being that he paid no attention to current fashion. Nonetheless, he didn’t particularly care. He only had limited clothes to work with, he was just lucky he’d even been able to produce swimming trunks. However did that really make him lucky? No, It didn’t because it meant he’d now have to swim for sure. There was no getting out of it now, she was too excited. In the back of his mind he cursed himself for finding those damned trunks.

Within seconds he found himself being pulled out of the house and into the driveway. Being that the two of them were currently the only ones staying in the house, only Angel’s car and Katheryn’s was in the driveway. ”Uhh, I think we’ll take mine”

[/color] the vampire said, though Katheryn had already expected him to say that. In all honesty he wasn’t even a fan of her having a car. If she got pulled over sure, she could maybe pass for sixteen. However it wouldn’t take much investigating to find out that her driver’s license was fake. Plus, driving was just so dangerous these days with all the idiots out on the road. However since he had only recently come into her life after centuries, he felt that he had no say in what she did. Not just yet anyways, so he tried not to dwell on it for now.

Sliding into the driver’s seat he watched as she put on her seat belt, though did not do the same. He never wore his seat belt, feeling that he didn’t need it. Plus he didn’t like how it seemed to cut across his neck and made him feel uncomfortable. Turning the key in the ignition, he slowly backed out of the driveway and onto the suburban street. Watching as Katheryn fumbled around with the CD player in the car, a horrified look came onto his face as she began singing along to the music. It didn’t horrify him that she was singing, but the lyrics and the song in general were just awful. ”You actually like this?”[/color] he asked her incredulously, looking at her from the side as he drove. It was more of a rhetorical question than anything else, considering that she was singing it with such oomf.

The drive only lasted about ten or fifteen minutes before they arrived at the Big Shot. Pulling into the parking lot, he parked way out back and turned off the car. For a moment he simply sat there frozen. He really didn’t want to go inside, didn’t want to swim. Not that it seemed too human or anything, it just wasn’t…him. ”Let’s do this quickly…and, uhh, Katheryn? Keep the cover up on, please”[/color] he said sounding very fatherly, knowing that if anyone even so much as looked at her that he’d kill them in an instant.

K

[/font][/size]atheryn 'Kathy' Anne O'Connor loved to sing.

She wasn’t the best singer in the world, but she wasn’t the worst either. She had the classic ‘little girl’ voice that was always cute but not always in key. She sounded cute but she wasn’t the newest hit sensation by a long shot. That didn’t stop her from singing at all times whenever she was bored or if she just wanted to annoy someone (mainly her older brother as she would do the same thing back when they were human). Granted, the situation was a bit different since back in Ireland she would walk into his room singing something random at the top of her lungs simply to wake him up, opening the curtains as she did. As soon as he’d be awake and glaring at her she’d run out the door giggling.

Hearing her brother’s dumbfounded voice about his outfit not matching she shook her head with a giggle. “Nope!” She told him happily, liking the fact that for once he didn’t seem to know everything. “Black really goes with anything except brown and dark blue. Now black and red go good together, black and white go good, black and pink, black and yellow, black and silver, that all goes together. Even black and light blue look good…but black and dark blue don’t work.” She told him seriously, most likely making him feel like he should be taking notes.

She nodded her head happily as she continued to sing the song that she tended to dance to when she wasn't in the car. She could a lot of times be found in her room with Hannah Montana blaring, dancing around her room with a hair brush as a fake microphone. Cause you keep my feet on the ground She continued before grinning at her older brother and making a bit of a bigger show about singing. You're a trueeee friend. You're here to the end. You pull me aside when something aint right. She continued before quieting down with a giggle, knowing her brother was most likely horrified.

Once at the water park she quickly jumped out of the car happily, barely listening when her older brother told her that he wanted to do this quickly (yeah right) and not to take her swim suit cover up on (again, not happening). Once at the gate she quickly pulled out her wallet and paid the fee, not even thinking about the fact that Angel would want to pay for it. She was used to taking care of herself financially so it didn't even register. Once inside she grabbed Angel's hand and took him to where the wave pool was and sat down on one of the chairs, grinning up at the stars. The young girl was actually surprised by how many people were around and for once found herself being able to participate with people that had no idea that she was odd.

Ignoring her older brother's request she quickly put her towel on the chair and flung off her swim suit cover up and her flip flops, her pink swim suit contrasting adorably against her pale skin. Looking around to see what she wanted to do she was interrupted by a boy who looked about sixteen. "Hey there. I'm Scott. Want to go down the slide with me? I can hold on to you if you're scared." The boy said to her, and she tilted her head to the side curiously before brightening. "Sure!" She stated happily, not understanding that the boy wasn't interesting in making a new friend as she was. "Angel, I'll be right back k?" She asked him, getting ready to walk away with the other boy. Having no idea about her brother's previous thoughts about killing people who looked at her.

Watching as Katheryn shook his head profusely, he was wondering if perhaps he shouldn’t have asked about his outfit. If he shouldn’t have wondered why dark blue didn’t go with black, that is. As she went on about the different colors and how they matched he seemed to get lost quite quickly. ”Light blue, but not dark blue? They’re both blue…”

he said, again seemingly quite confused. He hadn’t even previously known that there were rules about matching colors up.

Also, he had thought that black went with everything. Apparently it did; everything but the color he had chosen to wear. It was just his luck too, and now he was being lectured about it like a child. For once, their roles were reversed and Angel wasn’t sure that he really liked it. Although he knew that she was happy to teach him something, so he took mental notes of what she was telling him. He probably wouldn’t remember regardless but at least he’d tried. How could he be expected to do anything more than that? What, was he supposed to whip out a note pad and starting writing all of it down? Yeah, definitely not going to happen.

Feeling as if his ears just might explode, he tried his best to keep a horrified look off of his face as she sung. Although she was completely adorable, it was the actual music and lyrics that just killed him. He promised himself that he’d break that CD in half next time she wasn’t looking to prevent future horrific car rides. As they made their way to the water park, Katheryn paid the entrance fee before he’d even had the chance to pull out his wallet. Feeling slightly embarrassed, he scurried through the entrance behind her as he seen the odd looks he’d received from the young, teenage girl behind the counter. Of course he knew it was probably just habit for her, but it was a habit he had to get out of her.

As she pulled him along through the water park, he stood awkwardly as she put all of her stuff down on a lounge chair. Angel didn’t particularly like being around this many people but he’d deal. Watching his sister take her cover up off he felt his eye twitch a little. Just as he went to tell her to put It back on, his voice was cut off by the voice of a young boy. Hearing the boys pathetic attempt at talking sweet to his daughter, he felt his fists clench at his sides. ”No, not okay”

[/color] he told Katheryn sternly. Next, he looked up and down at the boy with quite the perfect and expected pissed off father look. ”She’s eleven, keep walking”[/color] he literally demanded, watching the boy slink away with satisfaction and even smiling a bit. He was proud of himself, he couldn’t help it.

Knowing that he would now have to be the one to swim with her after scaring off her ‘friend’, he sighed and turned around to face the lounge chair. Taking off his shirt he tossed it on top of her cover up and turned back to face everyone at the pool. Looking around, he noticed several women…noticing his shirtless chest. It was no secret that he was in shape, but he ignored their looks and turned back to his daughter. God, I need to stop thinking of her like that he thought to himself. ”What do you want to do first?”[/color] the vampire asked, almost afraid of what she might say. It was quite obvious that he was way out of his element right now. [/blockquote][/color]- - - - - - - - - - - -

K

[/font][/size]atheryn 'Kathy' Anne O'Connor was excited!

No one ever tried to play with her or do anything, at least not anyone around her age. She usually hung out with people older than her since all the people her age tended to stay away for fear of what she would do to them. Even though no one knew what she was…they still had some instinct in them that told them to stay away from her. At least most of them did. Unfortunately kids were even more sure that they knew so they ran from her, which did nothing for her self esteem.

Unfortunately apparently her older brother didn't get the damn memo that she wanted to play with kids her age because before she could head to the water slide she heard his voice tell her that it wasn't okay. Turning back around she saw his fists clenched at his side and couldn't help but stare at him, clearly confused. However he didn't seem to even notice her as he turned his eyes to the boy next to her and told him her age before telling him to keep on walking. Crossing her arms she glared at her older brother. "Angeeeeellll!!! What'd you do that for? He just wanted to play!" She told him, stomping one foot for emphasis, her curls moving as she did.

Seeing her brother take his shirt off she immediately noticed several woman staring. Why couldn't she had invited Buffy too? At least then she would have been able to scare all the weird ladies away from him! Seeing one coming towards them she waited until she was close before glaring at her. "He's married with three other kids at home. Daddy and I are just here for a daddy/daughter night away from my baby siblings. So if you don't mind I'd like to have him to myself for the night, k?" She asked sweetly, though her eyes were anything but. Watching the woman walk away she grinned up at him. "How do you like it?" She asked before grabbing his hand and dragging him towards the water slide.

Once at the slide she noticed that they were actually racing tubes! Oooh, she was totally going to beat him! "You go down one and I'll go down the other. Looks like we wait in the same line though." She told him, pulling him towards the line. Seeing a girl a couple people in front of her who had pink stripes in her hair, she fingered her own, looking at the brown curls that hung around her shoulders. "Hm...I think I want to die my hair pink." She stated absentmindedly.
