Persephone Tinkerbell It Came To California

Chapter 26- A Long Day

Buffy pulled herself out of the sewer entrance exhausted. It had been a really long day. She smiled her thanks to Sam as he extended a hand to help her. Faith was right, he was cute, but she knew she wouldn't do anything. She had made that mistake before. This business was far too dangerous, she couldn't get involved with a hunter, that was just looking for disaster. She climbed into the back seat of the Winchesters car with Faith barely able to keep her eyes open.

The Losers Club had all left to go back to the hospital, they wanted to fill their Librarian friend in on what had happened tonight. Buffy however, just wanted to go home. Any other day the trip down the sewers wouldn't have bothered her so much but she had already spent a good part of the evening fighting for her life, with Cordelia of all people, before they even got to the sewers. She barely even registered when the car pulled up in front of her house. Faith must have given them directions. She thanked the brothers for the lift and offered them her help whenever they needed it. She climbed out of the car and walked slowly to her front door. When her head hit the pillow she was asleep instantly.

Faith watched Buffy make her way into the house. Poor B. She always took things to heart. She didn't seem to see the fun in hunting. As they pulled away and made their way back to the motel Faith continued with the story she had been telling the Winchesters. "...Anyway. It was about a hundred and eighteen degrees, I'm sleeping without a stitch on..."

"...Then the cops pull up and arrest us both." Faith finished as Dean pulled into the motel car park. By the time they get out of the car, they are all laughing. As the boys lock up Faith makes her way to her room. But she stops when she reaches the door. What the hell, they'll be leaving tomorrow. She turns around as she makes up her mind. "Dean, you coming in?" she asks. He grins at her from the car, only taking a minute to make up his mind. "Night Sammy" He says and runs after her. Out of the corner of her eye Faith sees Sam roll his eyes and make his way into their room.
