Trip Down Under

By Moonbeam

*We're going on holiday, we're going on holiday (imagine it as a chant with Xander dancing)*

"We are going on holiday," Willow said as she walked into the room bearing a huge grin and an envelope.

"Why?"

"Well about four weeks ago I entered a contest and the prize was an all expenses paid trip to Australia, and the great thing is that it is through school so we are going to study there and live with some people like an exchange program isn't that wonderful."

"That doesn't constitute a holiday luv, you have to study."

"Yeah but still yay."

"How many of us?"

"Well there has to be at least two students and there can be up to eight people and unless I can't count that means all of us can go isn't that fantastic."

"WooHoo!" screamed Buffy.

"I second your woohoo and raise you a YES!" Xander said joining in on the fun.

"Where, may I ask are we going, what about Spike and the sun and I am far from a college student."

"Australia, I have a spell that can make him able to go out during the day and eat human food as a supplement to blood though he will still need blood to survive. And it asked that if possible to take a chaperone which basically means an older person and you fit the bill admitted you're not as old as Spike but still." Willow said before she joined Buffy and Xander who were doing a happy dance around the room.

"When do we leave, what about the hellmouth?" Giles said always being the voice of reason.

"We leave tomorrow, sorry about the short notice but the postal service sucks. The hellmouth will be fine and if anything weird starts happening it will be on the news and Mrs Summers can call us and then if need be we will call Angel."

"Well, I am gonna say bloody hell lets go and when do we do the spell, Red?"

"Now if you're okay with it."

"Sure let's do it."

"I have already contacted the uni to let them know who's going and I'm picking the tickets up tomorrow. We can all stay at my place tonight if it will be easier."

"Groovy gotta go pack and tell the parental units." Xander said leaving with Anya trailing behind him.

"Riley are you okay with this I mean you have yet to speak."

"Yeah just a little shell shocked but I guess I better go pack and tell the guys."

"Well I'll go with you would you mind dropping me at my mom's."

"Sure, come on." They too left leaving only the vampire, the witch and the watcher.

"What ingredients do you need Willow."

"Just some sage but I brought it with me I could use your help though."

"Certainly."

They set about doing the spell and then Willow left with Spike after testing the spell.

Later that night they all gathered at Willow's house and got ready to go.
