Just a (cough, very) short chapter. More to come very soon. That Bi=uffy bit had me rolling by the way. Haha Thank you for all your reviews! Faith is slowly coming out of her shell … but then again, Faith will be Faith.

Oh, and I would have had this up sooner, but for some reason my connection would jump in and out and so my chapter wasn't accepted. Weird. Anyhoo...

Enjoy. :)

Chapter Four:

"I'm Pete by the way" the man said as he looked in between Buffy and Faith, expecting them to introduce themselves as well.

Faith knew that Buffy wasn't about to make nice, so she took it upon herself to introduce the two of them. "I'm Faith and this is-"

"Dawn." Buffy said, earning a quizzical look from the brunette. Faith looked at her and mouthed, 'Dawn?' Buffy shrugged. Like hell this stranger, who happened to be ogling Faith at the moment, was going to know her real name, might as well steal her sister's. That's what they were there for after all, that, and a chance at borrowing each other's clothes.

"Interesting names…" Pete said, taking his eyes off of Faith and resting them on the road ahead once again. "And where are you ladies from?"

Faith then looked at Buffy as if to challenge her to come up with another lie to tell Pete. Buffy took that challenge. "Las Vegas." Buffy replied with a smirk. Faith meanwhile loved every minute of it and was patiently waiting to see what Buffy could come up with next.

"Vegas huh? I've been there a couple of times myself for the" he paused a moment to cough "entertainment." He tore his eyes from the road for a second to look at Buffy. "I thought you looked familiar."

It took everything in Faith to keep herself from laughing at Buffy's reaction to that. After masking her shock, Buffy meekly said, "Yeah well …"

"And what about you?" He asked, turning his attention to Faith, or rather, Faith's cleavage. The way Faith had her arms wrapped around her bloodstained tank, only made her cleavage pop out that much more. Again, Buffy was hit with jealousy, and not because he was looking at Faith and not her…

"Originally from Boston, came here to help out a couple of friends." Faith said, as she shot Buffy a hesitant look. Were they friends?

"Oh yeah? Never would've taken that accent to be from Boston." Pete said sarcastically which caused Faith to chuckle lightly as she replied, "You think it's bad now? You shoulda heard me before I came to Cali. Could barely tell what I was sayin'."

At that, Buffy found herself looking at Faith surprisingly. She really didn't know anything about the other slayer's past. That thought saddened her. Not only that, but she found the way that Pete continued to look Faith up and down to be tiring. So, taking matters into her own hands, she said, "Would you mind keeping your eyes on the road please? Never know what might run out it the middle of it."

Faith raised an eyebrow at the blonde beside her, curious as to why she seemed so bothered all of a sudden. She tried not to let her thoughts wander with the idea that Buffy might be jealous, but still a glimmer of hope continued to make her believe that.

"Sure, no problem." Pete said, with a slight annoyance in his voice, something which Buffy wasn't worried at all about.

It took only another couple of minutes before they reached a small gas station which was located across the street from a rather dingy looking motel. After another fifteen minutes or so, they were back on the road, this time heading in the opposite direction with the gas that they needed.
