Fred’s POV

“Fred I want to help you but really what can I do?”

“I need you to find me something to replace my conducting ring to enclose Spike’s spirit.”

“With what?” he snapped back at me.

“Figure it out.” I yell back. He drives me nuts sometimes I mean he’s got a giant evil corporation at his disposal and he can’t figure out how to find one lousy part for my machine.

 

Dawn’s POV

“Whoa!” as I walk into Angel’s office a determined brunette storms out and crashes into me.

“Sorry.” She yells back. Everyone seems to be in a hurry here and are so very cheerful except the strange guy in a mask. It’s odd to me most of the evil I’ve known in my life hasn’t been cheery. I mean Glory was happy but she was crazy and a hell god but most of the people around here are just that people. Other than the nerd trio we didn’t really deal with human evil in Sunnydale we were more see a demon, kill it, job done, kinda group.

“Hey Angel.” I say as I sit down in the chair facing his desk. He doesn’t seem happy to see me but then again he never was. I never hid my feelings about him when he was dating Buffy. I didn’t like him that much even before Buffy found out that he was a vampire.

“Dawn? What are you doing here?”

“Wes didn’t tell you that I was coming in? I’m going to help re-corporealize Spike.”

“Wes? Wesley? When did you see Wesley?” Ha answered focusing on the unimportant part of the phrase.

“I don’t think that’s any of your business. Where is he anyway?”

“Ancient prophecies two floors up fifth door on your left after you get out of the elevator.”

“Thanks.”

“Dawn, it’s good to see someone from Sunnydale other than Spike every once and a while.” He says with a small smile.

I go back out into the waiting area and see Harmony cowering behind the desk with a sheepish smile on her face. I walk into the elevator and wait while it climbs the two floors to see Wesley. I’m not sure if I’m still angry with him or not but I’ll let him explain himself before I decide what to do. The elevator door opens and whom do I see standing before me but Wesley and standing right beside him…Spike.

 

Wesley’s POV

 

I’m waiting for her to get here. Spike comes in my office trying to figure out what’s going on with me. He finally confronts me about what he’s smelt the past month. I finally told him that I’ve been seeing Dawn. He asks me what that means I’m hesitant to answer that. I’m not completely comfortable with the age difference in this situation, even thought if you look at it objectively Dawn is thousands of years old, and hey working for an evil corporation here morals shouldn’t be my strong point. He’s looking at me now and sniffing my hair and the air around me. When he stops smelling me he just looks at me and says “If you hurt her I will beat you to death with a shovel… or I’ll get Fred to do it for me.”

“Alright I’ll try not to hurt her.” He looks at me and slowly nods his head knowing that you can’t always keep someone from getting hurt. I told him that I had an idea to make him corporeal again but I didn’t tell him it was Dawn I was thinking of using as a power source. I start walking out of my office and he follows me.

“She’s the power source isn’t she?” I don’t answer him “If there’s any way that this will hurt her then you are not to do it. I don’t… she’s more important that me.”

“Deal.” I say as we reach the elevator.

“Deal.” He answers and with that the elevator opens and theres Dawn

One of the nice things about Fred, one of the things that I think made people like her so much, was her politeness, in spite of her past experience, she managed to hang on to that humanity, and you caught it here, although she's angry and the office is crazy - a determined brunette storms out and crashes into me.
“Sorry.” She yells back. Everyone seems to be in a hurry here


btw - small thing, but could I suggest you move your author's note out of the story and either into the header or position it as a footer? Even in brackets, it disrupts the flow of that last section.

All fixed I changes the position of the note and a few other things just some typeos and a few words nothing big I also added a link to previous parts

Thanks for your comments its nice to see someone's reading and enjoying this as much as I like writing it.
