\u201cFRED!!!!!! LORNE!!!!! IT\u2019S COMING ON NOW!!!!!!\u201d Angel grimaced at the sound of Cordelia screeching up the stairs of the hotel.<\/p>\n

Normally, he loved her voice. Especially when she said things like, \u201cohhh, right there, that\u2019s the spot, harder, faster, ohmygod,\u201d that kind of thing. This was not that kind of thing.<\/p>\n

This was a television thing, and Angel was prepared to bail down to the basement to work out and hide.<\/p>\n

There was a lull of silence, then the pitterpatter of running feet as Fred raced down the stairs and into the office. She plopped down on the sofa facing the tv and grabbed at the large bowl of popcorn.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s on, it\u2019s on, it\u2019s on\u2026.\u201d She sang in an excited squeal. Cordy sat down beside her and they both looked around, then yelled, \u201cLORNE!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cComing, coming, hang on\u2026\u201d Lorne strolled out of the kitchen, carrying a tray loaded with three large cappuccino mugs, steaming and frothy. \u201cHang on, strudels, Uncle Lorne had to get the appropriate treats for the fond farewell\u2026\u201d the girls grinned and Cordy blew him a kiss as she grabbed at one of the mugs.<\/p>\n

\u201cBest. Host. Ever.\u201d She took a sip and batted her eyes at him. Lorne laughed and settled down on the couch with them, taking up his own mug. Angel watched a moment, and sat nearby.<\/p>\n

\u201cAre you really going to watch this?\u201d<\/p>\n

Cordy\u2019s eyes didn\u2019t move from the screen. \u201cAre you kidding? I\u2019ve got 10 solid years built up in this. I\u2019ve sat on my ass for over 120 hours for this show. Wow.\u201d Her brow furrowed in thought. \u201cThat\u2019s gotta be over 100 bags of popcorn. Tons of cookies. That one experiment where I ate fruit. Hmm.\u201d<\/p>\n

Angel glanced at her. \u201cIt\u2019s not Shakespeare, Cordy, it\u2019s a sitcom.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBite me, Angel.\u201d There was no heat in her voice, as she was only marginally engaged in the conversation. \u201cI love this show, it\u2019s the last one, deal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fred nodded, her eyes wide. \u201cIt\u2019s really a good show, Angel\u2026watch it with us. We\u2019ll tell you what\u2019s going on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lorne looked at him thoughtfully. \u201cI think there\u2019s a vampire in it, somewhere.\u201d Cordy looked over at him and he grinned at her. \u201cI think. Maybe.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHuh\u201d ok, he\u2019d stay and watch the tv show. Be interesting to see how they treat vampires on television.<\/p>\n

\u201cOK\u201d Fred was nearly bobbing up and down on the sofa, she was so excited. \u201cThat\u2019s Monica. She\u2019s married to Chandler. They were just friends for a while, and she had a crush on him when he was in college with her brother, Ross. And she was fat. Real fat. But she\u2019s not now, and she dated Richard, and he was soooo gorgeous, but there were candles, and\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh my god, that was so romantic!\u201d Cordy broke in. \u201cThe candles and the kneeling, and oh, that was so sweet.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnyways, that\u2019s Chandler, her husband. His dad is a crossdresser and his mom writes trashy romantic novels and he had a job for a while but we\u2019re not sure what it is and he likes porn.\u201d Angel looked over at Fred, wondering if she was making this up.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s Joey. He\u2019s kinda dim, but really sweet, and he sleeps around a lot, and he\u2019s an actor, and he was on Days of Our Lives but he fell down an elevator shaft and died. Oh, and he had a duck, and he faked owning a Porsche.\u201d Angel could feel his brain starting to glaze over as Fred paused to draw a breath.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s Ross, he\u2019s Monica\u2019s brother, and he is a Paleontologist, and he\u2019s kinda a nerd and finds it hard to get a date, which is kinda funny because he\u2019s been married three times, although I guess the first one shouldn\u2019t\u2019 count because she was gay, and the second one got mad because Ross got her name wrong and the third one was Rachel, the love of his life, you know, kyrumption, except he\u2019s really too nerdy to be a hero, but they do fight a lot\u2026\u201d her voice trailed off as she considered this. \u201cHmmm. Anyways, they got married, but it was in Vegas, they were drunk, blah, blah, blah, got a divorce, had a baby\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Angel was lost. \u201cThey got a divorce then had a baby?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, it was an accident. What with the kissing and the filming and all. And that\u2019s Rachel. She was going to marry a dentist, but she left him at the alter, and started serving coffee, and now she\u2019s like this powerhouse buyer for Louis Vattan, and she\u2019s going to France, and she has perfect hair.<\/p>\n

\u201cOk, that\u2019s Phoebe, and she\u2019s kind of goofy and loopy in that funny way they make some girls seem on tv. I don\u2019t know anyone like that, but on tv they seem to be thick and fast. Anyways, Phoebe is a masseuse, and she just got married, and she doesn\u2019t have kids yet.\u201d Fred thought a moment. \u201cOh, except for the triplets she had for her brother.\u201d Angel looked at her, not saying a word. Fred caught his look and said, \u201cIt was a small favor.\u201d<\/p>\n

She turned back to the tv and she and Cordy and Lorne stared intently at the screen. Angel got up silently and walked to the door to the office, stopping when he saw Gunn and Wesley standing there, resigned looks on their faces.<\/p>\n

Wesley spoke. \u201cHad enough?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGod yes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s go get a beer, bro, this sobfest is on for an hour.\u201d Gunn clapped Angel on the back and they walked out the front door. Angel thought about the characters Fred had just described.<\/p>\n

\u201cGotta tell ya, if that\u2019s life, Shanshu can fuckin\u2019 wait.\u201d<\/p>\n

End<\/b><\/p>\n
