Summary: Sequel to "This Year." (Actually was Alternate Ending #2, but it turned out so well, that I made it into it's own story.) Angel's hotel gets made over. Crossover with, obviously, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.

Author's NOTE: I don't think that you need to read "This Year", but it would help in understanding the back stories.

Extreme Makeover: Angel Edition

By: Sensue

TY Pennington: On an all new Extreme Makeover Home Edition. Now, we've worked on lots of different homes, but trust me…This might be our biggest job yet! In seven days, we are going to reconstruct an entire hotel. Yes, I know what everyone is thinking, "Ty, you're supposed to be fixing people's homes, not a hotel." Well, let me tell you, this is not just a hotel. This is the Hyperion Hotel, home to not one, not two, but five whole families and, of course, extended friends who visit from out of town. Now, we are going to meet the Angel family. Wait until you hear their story.

Angel Family Application Video:

ANGEL: My name is Angel, uh…Geraldo Angel. Well, the reason we are sending you this video is that my family and I really need help reconstructing our house. --Camera pulls back to view the office space of the Hyperion.-- We live in a hotel. The Hyperion Hotel to be exact. I bought it with the notion that one day; I would fix up the place the way I wanted. I lived here alone, in the dark. I liked it like that. The only problem was, everyone kept moving in. Now I've got a full five families living here. That's not to mention the unexpected visitors we always seem to be getting. I tried my best to fix up the hotel, but every time I did anything, we got an earthquake. This is L.A. home of earthquakes. Unfortunately, the last earthquake really did some damage. Plus, it's going to get really crowded in here pretty soon.

CORDY: I'm Cordy, Angel's wife. And as you can see—Camera moves around the room.—We run a business from our home. We're private investigators and our main goal in life is to help the helpless. Unfortunately, for the helpless, business has picked up. We're so busy, sometimes we don't have time to eat. So we definitely don't have time to fix up the mess that Wolfram--I mean, the earthquakes caused. We live in the hotel with, like my husband said, four other families. Our best friends. They are all married now, and having babies. Actually, I'm having a baby too, for my best friend Fred, who almost died when she was pregnant. The baby was going to die, so I agreed to carry it for her. Funny thing is—my best friend is now pregnant too. So she's going to have two babies within a few months of each other. Her husband, Wesley is really excited.

ANGEL: Cordy and I have two children of our own, Cathy and Connor. Connor's a teenager. 'Enough said.

CORDY: And of course, our friends Faith and Robin now have two children of their own. Faith just had her baby last week. A cute little girl that they named Kara. It's actually one of the reasons we're asking for help. Our children have grown up, so we forgot how noisy a little baby was. Let's just say that her parents aren't the only ones who haven't gotten any sleep. They also have a little boy named Nicky, who is my daughter's age.

ANGEL: Then we've got our newlyweds, who are in the getting-to-know-you stage. I mean, I love Lindsey and Anne, but I'd rather not know how "healthy" their relationship is. Lindsey and Anne adopted a little boy named Ryan. He's a great kid. He's been through a lot and, as of now, he shares a room with Nicky. I'd like to see him get his own room. He deserves it.

CORDY: Gunn and Andrea live here as well, but they don't have any children just yet. Um—Connor's best friend also lives here, Harrison is Faith's half brother. He's turned out to be a great influence on all of us. But, like Connor, he's a teenager, he likes his space.

ANGEL: I also have a "friend" who lives here with us. His name is Willy. As of now, his room is right across from ours, I'd really like to get him as far away from me as possible—I'd like to send him to Outer Mongolia, but my wife won't let me. (She bonks him on the head.) Oww. Cordy. It would just be nice to fix up the place. Many times, we take in people, let them stay here. The earthquake, sort of destroyed our main office, the guest rooms, and our bedroom. So, please, Extreme Makeover Home Edition help us.

End of Application Video.

TY: As you can see this is a very special family, who gives a lot to the community. Ty opens the door to the Hyperion and walks in to see Lorne with a sea breeze in his hand humming "Liva Las Vegas". Ty's mouth falls open. Wow! These people must really love their kids; they have nanny dressed up in a lizard costume to entertain them. I really don't know what to say about the drinking though.

LORNE: Welcome to Angel Investigations, how can I help you, crumb cake? Oh…Oh, my god, you're Ty Pennington from Extreme Makeover, Home Edition. I can't believe this; I'm so excited I might actually break out in song and do the dance of joy.

TY: The dance of joy? Huh. That'd be interesting to watch. Is the Angel family home?

LORNE: Yeah. I'll go get them. ANGEL, CORDY, GANG, GET DOWN HERE! TY'S HERE!!! We're going to be on TV, and possibly go to Hawaii. They make the best Sea Breeze's over there.

The gang runs into the lobby. Everyone hugs and shakes hands, saying thank you. They meet the design team: Tracy, Michael, Paul, Paige, Preston, and Constance. They all hug. Michael holds on to "Willy" a little longer than necessary.

TY: Your family has done so much for the community. I mean, you have even taking in the kids at Anne's Halfway House, when you didn't even have the space until they got their roof fixed. So now, we are going to do something for you. We are going to send you and your entire family to Cleveland.

Willy (Spike) moans.

SPIKE: Bloody hell; first of all, stop calling me "Willy." The name's Spike. Secondly, of all the rat infested vacation holes you could have sent us to, you're sending us to another bloody hellmouth.

Cordy elbows him in the stomach—hard.

CORDY: She pulls Ty aside. Willy is "special," you understand. He thinks he's Billy Idol. We've tried so hard to help him, even put him in a hospital, but he regresses.

TY: whispers into the camera. Wow. You should see how caring this family is. They even take in patients from mental hospitals. That's true love. Back to normal volume. Well, are you ready for your vacation, Angel family?

ANGEL: No! We're not, we're going to need to pack more weapons, I mean, sunscreen before we go. Cordy, Gunn, why don't you see how much sunscreen we've got. And since we're on the subject of weapons, don't touch my weapons cabinet. Especially, that broad sword. Its special; my favorite. An antique, been in my family for generations. If you touch it, I'll know about it. And then I'll have to share my feelings. Trust me, everyone thinks I'm better off broody.

Ty kicks them out of the house. Cathy and Nicky are jumping up and down in front of the camera, excited to be on TV.

TY voiceover:

–Will Angel and Cordy love their new bedroom?

--How ever did a swimming pool end up there? That might be a problem.

--Should we add pads to Willy's walls?

--Why is there a dungeon in the basement?

--Wow! The world's largest law firm, Wolfram and Hart, is willing to send 300 construction workers to help the Angel family build their new home. What a wonderful community.

--And much more coming right after this commercial break.

Cut to Sears Commercial.
