After Brandon explained why he wanted to go there, Kate was pretty silent for the rest of the trip. She had a hard time believing everything, he had told her. The Key. Glory. It was almost too much for her to handle. Once again, her whole belief structure was thrown for a loop and she had the feeling that she still didn't know about half of what truly went on in her world.
Brandon, on the other hand, was downright giddy. He was going to Sunnydale. He was going to meet Willow and Buffy and Spike and Dawn. He was so excited. The only thing that really worried him was that Sunnydale would be too different, considering he was in an alternate universe and all. He did have much time to contemplate it, though, because he saw an all too familiar sign.
"Welcome to Sunnydale," he shouted, as they passed the sign.
"You're really excited about being here, aren't you?" Kate asked after looking at him strangely, when he shouted.
"You don't understand. This place... This town... It's hard to explain what it means to be here. To really be here. This is a dream come true. You have no idea how many people wish they could be where I am."
"Okay. So where do we go?"
"First, we find a telephone book and get the address of Giles's shop," he answered.
Looking around, Kate spotted a telephone booth. "One should be in there," she said pointing towards it. Brandon ran over to the booth and found the book.
"Now what would it be under?" he mumbled to himself. "Occult probably," he answered himself. "Well yeah, but I doubt there's an occult sec..." He stopped rambling when he saw the word Occult in bold print. "Only in Sunnydale," he muttered as if it explained everything. And in a way, it did. He ran back to the car and froze.
"So what do we do now?" Kate asked, not noticing that he wasn't looking at her, but behind her.
"Help Spike," he answered.
"What?" she yelled, having no idea what he was talking about.
"Look," he instructed, pointing behind her. When she turned around, she saw a bleach-blonde haired man fighting a gang of demons. He looked like he was holding his own, but he was outnumbered ten to one.
"Well what do we do?" Kate asked.
"You have any weapons?"
"A gun, mace, a cross, some holy water and a stake."
"Anything else? Something sharp and metal, like sword or an axe?" he asked hoping.
"No, I left those in my bedroom closet," she said sarcastically.
"Fine, we'll just ram 'em. Worked for Xander," he said, walking over to her side and getting in the seat.
"What?" she said as she looking at him. "You're not hitting them with my car."
"Okay, you do it," he said, and maneuvered into the passenger seat.
"Somebody better pay for this," she muttered as she got in. "Buckle up." The car ran to where the fight was. Spike didn't look like he was having much luck anymore and probably was about to lose. Then the car hit the first demon. Followed by another and another. Kate managed to get right beside him.
"Get in," Brandon yelled from his window. Spike didn't have to be told twice and dove into the open backdoor. After hitting a couple more, Kate drove away.
"Agh, bloody hell, that hurts," Spike said from the backseat. Then noticing where he was. "Who are you?"
"Just a couple of visitors in need of a guide. We need to get to Giles's shop," Brandon explained.
"And?"
"Well take us there."
"Nope, don't feel like it," he said stubbornly.
"Kate, where's your holy water?" Brandon asked. He was not in the mood for Spike's games.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Fine, I'll take you. Nobody can take a joke anymore," he muttered. It was times like these he really hated his chip.
"Wait a minute. He's a vampire?" Kate asked. Why did they save a vampire?
"Yeah. Spike. William the Bloody. Grandchile of Angelus. Don't worry. He's currently de-fanged, thanks to the federal government," he said matter-of-factly.
"Is there anybody in this whole bloody world that doesn't know what happened?" Spike yelled to the sky. "Oh, take a right here," he added.
"What do you mean de-fanged?"
"They put a bloody V-chip in my head, so I can't hurt humans," Spike answered for Brandon. "Two stoplights down, make a left."
"Why?" Kate asked, perplexed.
"It's the government. Why does it need a reason to do anything?" Brandon answered.
"Next stoplight make a right and the shop will be on your right," Spike interrupted. Kate followed the directions and found herself in front of the store.
"This is it?"
"This is it," Brandon said and hopped out of the car. He opened the door and there they were. The jingle of the bell made them look up and Brandon just stood there.
"Ah, you must be Brandon," Giles said standing up.
"You know me?"
"Angel told us you would probably be coming. They're on their way."
"I don't understand. I came here to see Willow," Brandon tried to explain.
"Yeah, but Wills went to LA a couple a days ago to help look for you," Xander explained from behind Giles.
"Ain't that a bitch," Spike said from behind Brandon.
