CHAPTER 3
Welcome to SunnyD

‘The Bronze looks bigger today’, the girls couldn’t
help but notice as they stood in front of the stage in
the club.

They already put their instruments on stage, waiting
excitedly for their sound check
It was nearly 6:30 pm, so there was only one and a
half hours left till the audience would be let in.

… and still no sign of the Dingos!

“Where are they?” Anya couldn’t hold back any longer.
“I mean, I know they are famous and all but they
should do a sound check too. They should be here,
talking to us, humping me. Whatever, you know?!”

Dawn patted Anya’s shoulder in a funny way to calm her
down.
“Anya, they’ll be here, don’t worry. The only thing
that matters is that they’re here in time for their
gig.”

“And there will be enough time for ‘humping’
afterwards” Buffy added, much to her surprise it
didn’t come out as a sarcastic comment for Anya but
more as a demanding plea for herself.

“Yes, guys, I’m sure they’ll be here soon. Remember
they wanted the gig, they’re probably stuck in traffic
or at the airport.”

##############################################################################

“Damn Gunn, we should’ve taken the car. Connor was
right. I mean look at that. We’re almost 3 hours
late!”

“Xander, calm down. As long as we’re there on time for
the performance everything’s great. We’re the
headliner, they’ll wait.”

Gunn had a hard time trying to calm down Xander as he
was getting more and more nervous with every second.

“Guys, listen, we’re gonna be there in time. Rupert
Giles will pick us up and it’s a 20 minutes drive from
the airport to the Bronze so, no need to worry.”
Oz, always calm.

“Angel, what about Spike. We know Connor took the car
because of his chick but what about him?”

“To be honest. I don’t know. I think he broke up with
his girl and wanted some time alone. But he’ll be
there in time, same as Connor.”

###############################################################################

“Harmony!!! Hurry up”

“Why, Connor, I just want to look good for you.”

With that Harmony got out of the bathroom, wearing a
short red dress.
‘Totally inappropriate for a concert’ Connor thought
to himself.

“Harmony, we gotta go, otherwise we’ll be late, which
is just not possible. So move that ass of yours out
that door and in the car.”

“I like it, when you talk dirty.” She swayed her hips
slowly walking past him and out of the apartment.

############################################################################

Gunn, Angel, Oz, Xander and Giles arrived at the
Bronze.
“The girls are already inside. I think they just
finished their sound check, so you can go right up the
stage and built up your stuff. There’s only an hour
left till we let in the guests.”

“Ok, thanx Giles.” Oz walked past him and entered the
venue, slamming right into something.

“Hey, try to look at where you going, buddy.” The girl
yelled on her way onto the stage, never looking back
who actually slammed into her.

“Oh, oh. I think it’s the typical chicks band.” Xander
couldn’t hold back the laugh that was so hardly
bagging to come out.

The guys went into the opposite direction the girl
headed to and entered their backstage room.

“Where are Connor and Spike?” Gunn couldn’t believe
that they’d actually arrived at the club before the
two other band members even though they were more than
3 hours late.

“I don’t know, probably stuck in traffic. Try to call
em.”
Gunn did as Angel said and dialled Connor’s number on
his cell.

#############################################################################

Connor was having a hard time concentrating on what
Harmony had to say.
‘Damn, she’s talking non-stop since we left the
parking lot at home. Wouldn’t be that horrible if she
had something to say’

“And after me and Cordy came back from the
cheerleading camp we were like that” Harmony entwined
her hands for emphasis.

“But then Cordy joined that horrible band and we
weren’t together that much anymore, I mean. Hello? How
could she expect me to hang out with those losers?”

*ring ring*

‘THANK GOD’

Connor pulled out his cell from his jacket.

“hello?”

“Oh, yeah, we’re almost there. We just passed the
‘welcome to Sunnydale’ sign.”

“Yeah, well, Harmony was late.”

“Spike? No, I don’t know where he is. Probably…”

“What? Yeah.”

“Wait. I think we’re here. I’m just gonna park the
car. See you in a bit.”

As soon as the car came to an halt Harmony jumped out
of the car straightening her dress. Connor pulled out
his bag containing his keyboard from the trunk and
started walking towards the entrance.
He’d rather wanted to use the backstage entrance as
there were too many fans standing outside the venue
but apparently he forgot to ask Gunn where the BS
entrance was, or if there was any at all…
Harmony walked beside him, that smile on her face that
made Connor wanted to kill her.
You could see exactly what she was trying to tell the
fans that waited infront of the Bronze.
*Look, Im better than you, cause I’m with the band*
‘Well, not much longer baby’ Connor thought to himself
while waving to the fans.
One bouncer recognized him and opened the door for him
and his girl.

They had to walk passed the wardrobe to get to the
stage. Soon Connor stood in the middle of the club,
watching the stage he nearly felt his heart stop
beating.

###############################################################################

“Ladies, I think they’re here. I just heard something
in the other room, so you better stop praising them as
loud as you did before… that is, if you don’t want
them to hear you.”

All eyes turned to Dawn who laughed like she’d become
mad after seeing the expressions on the other girls’
faces.

“Anyways the new string’s up on my bass and
everything’s awesome again, so I leave you with your
little crazy fantasies, the drooling over the band and
go and put the bass back on stage… be good”

With that Dawn left the backstage room with the
feeling of 3 pairs of eyes piercing her back.

“Yeah, as if she wasn’t fantasizing about anyone…”

She heard and with a smirk on her face she jumped up
the stage.

Her place was on the right of the stage, so she had to
cross it to get to her spot.
She put the bass in it’s place and turned around
prepared to leave, when she suddenly recognised two
familiar blue eyes pierce into hers.

###############################################################################

‘This girl is amazing’ Connor’s jaw was practically
wiping the floor when he looked into the, what seemed
to be the bluest and most beautiful eyes he’d ever
seen.

He wanted to do something. Walk over to her, talk to
her, smile.
But he couldn’t, it felt like the world stopped
moving, he was stunned.

After what seemed like hours he snapped out of his
‘coma’ and a sweet smile crawled up his face.

He actually saw her smile back and decided that this
was the most amazing smile he’d ever seen.

He had to talk to her, but as soon as he wanted to
make a move one arm was wrapped around his arm and he
looked down on some red painted nails and up into blue
oh-so-sweet eyes.

He totally forgot about her. ‘What was her name
again?’

Looking up on stage he felt like he lost the two
heaven like eyes and left were to ice blue and cold
eyes darting in his and the girl beside him.

###############################################################################

Dawn couldn’t help but feel a little dizzy at the way
his eyes made their way through her and straight to
her heart.

‘Oh my god, is he smiling at me??? What am I supposed
to do know’ an insecure part of her self asked as a
securer part of her answered ‘Duh! Laugh! You moron.’

And so she did. She felt like melting as his smile
became even warmer and cuter.

The moment that blond bimbo approached Connor
something inside Dawn broke. And when that girl
encircled his arm with hers she couldn’t help but look
away for a second.
Just to make sure she saw what she believed she did,
she looked back at the couple standing right in front
of her, just to realize that she actually did.

‘Well, if he’s into bimbos, he’s never gonna be into
me.’

With that she jumped down the stage and ran down the
hallway that led to the backstage area.

“As if I wanted someone who’s into bimbos anyways” she
muttered silently, entering the room her band mates
were in.

##############################################################################

“Honey, what’s up, I lost you and why weren’t you
checkin if I was still beside you?” Harmony pouted a
little and blinked with her fake lashes.

“Harmony…uhm… sorry” He muttered, angry that Harmony
made him lose eye contact with that beautiful girl on
stage, twice.

As Connor looked back to where the girl stood some
seconds ago he found… nothin.

‘Damn, where did she go?’

#############################################################################

“Dawn, girl. What took you so long?” Buffy looked
curious at her, she thought she saw some sadness
reflecting in Dawn’s eyes.

“I bet you sneaked in the boy’s room. Got to see any
naked goodies?”

“ANYA! I just talked to Giles for a second and I don’t
know why I’d actually be interested in seeing any of
their goodies anyways”

“Well, Dawn, we all know about the picture under your
bed in that little box with Dingos’ stuff” Buffy had a
hard time keeping that smile inside that wanted to
come out so bad.

“Yeah, well, changed my mind. Connor’s a jerk. Not
into him anymore.”

“Oh yah!” To hold back the smile any longer would
definitely be torture so Buffy decided to just let it
out.

Outside they could hear voices. Not only some but
many. Many female voices.

“Guess they’re letting in the fans, huh?” Willow
asked, trying to change the subject.

“Yes, it’s about time and Buffy?”

“Huh?”

“We’re so going to talk about the word privacy! Cause
obviously you don’t know the meaning of it… my room,
my box, my picture.” Dawn narrowed her eyes at her
sister who gave nothing but a shrug and a smirk for an
answer.

A knock at the door kept Dawn from saying any more.

“Come in”

#############################################################################

Connor walked in the backstage room the guys were
staying in, quickly followed by Harmony.

“Hey guys. Sorry!” He rolled his eyes towards Harmony.

The other guys nodded, showing him they understood.

“Hey Harmony.”

“Hello Angel.” She looked at him with a sweet smile on
her face.
“How are you, hopefully good, cause it’s not good when
the lead singer’s not feeling well. You know, would
ruin the show. But you’re gonna make it, right? Like
you always do. Always the uber talented leader, right?
Oh, an…”

“Yes Harmony. I’m good, thank you.” Angel interrupted
her, thinking for the 100th time about what Connor saw
in her.

“Where’s Spike?”

“We don’t know. Tried to call him on the cell phone,
all we get is his mail box though. I hope he’ll turn
up. I mean, I know he broke up with ‘what’s her name’
but I mean… get a grip, you know.”

“Gunn, I’m sure he’ll turn up and he’s just stuck in
traffic or something.”
Connor couldn’t help but think about the beautiful
dark haired girl, even while he spoke to the other
guys.

###########################################################################

Spike was in his DeSoto, passing a sign telling him
that it would only be less than 20 miles to Sunnydale.

He could kick himself for not taking the plane like
the others did.

‘Tha’s just bloody great, my first gig and I’m fucking
late!’
