Buffy looked over the canyon of what used to be Sunnydale. 'This is it,' she thought, thinking that her days of a slayer our now officially over and smiled to herself.

On school bus on the way to LA Buffy just looked at the world rushing by her window. She was thinking of Spike and how he had sacrificed himself to save her and the world. A shiny tear rolled down her cheek. She had meant what she had said to Spike before she left him. She did love him. At last she had admitted it to herself, she did love spike but its not going to bring him back she thought. Nothing can.

Xander came and sat down next to Buffy. 'Aren't you glad it's over Buffy? I sure as hell am. But in a way I'm sad that we lost sunnydale and some our friends,' he paused. 'I know,' Buffy said, still looking out of the window. 'Anya, didn't make it you know,' he voice quivered as he said it. 'Andrew said that he tried to protect her but he just didn't protect her enough,' he started crying. 'No one could have Xander, I'm sorry, but if it wasn't for Spike none of us would be here now,' Buffy turned to Xander. 'Spike, saved us?' Xander was confused. 'He sacrificed himself to save us,' Buffy turned back to the window. There was a pause. Buffy burst into tears and laid her head down onto Xander's shoulder. 'Don't worry Buffy, it's gonna be ok, we can get through this.together,' Buffy looked up at Xander and hugged him.

A few hours later they arrived in LA. 'Woo-hoo! LA baby!' Faith screamed. Everyone got out of the bus. They had pulled into a lay by in the road. 'So do we have any idea on where we're staying?' Dawn asked. 'There's motel about 20 minutes down the road from here maybe we can stay there?' Faith suggested. 'Do we have any money?' Willow asked. Everyone started digging into their pockets. 'I have about $15,' Xander said. 'I have 25 cents!' Dawn said cheerfully. Everyone went through their pockets and togther they had about $120. 'That ain't enough for food and somewhere to stay!' Dawn Shouted. 'We're all gonna die or end up eating each other and living on the streets!' 'Dawn, we'll find somewhere to stay and something to eat does anyone have any friends or relatives here in LA?' Kennedy asked. Buffy looked up at faith. 'maybe we have one.' faith laughed.
