Hey, I got a review saying that the chronology of the first part wasn't very realistic, in all truth I don't care, that's how I wrote it so that it wouldn't drag out and it's amazing what you can do when you have no time. Anyway this may be chronologically incorrect as well but I don't know how long it takes to get to Australia so I made it up. Please know this before you read. Hope this bit is better, enjoy.

*Plane Trip*

They arrived at the airport an hour before their plane was scheduled to leave. Willow walked up to the international departure's desk and asked for their tickets. Once they had checked in they went upstairs to wait for their plane to board.

An hour later they jumped on the plane at the boarding call.

Spike sat by the window something he had never done and Willow was amazed that the look of pure joy on his face. She sat between him and Buffy, then Riley, followed by Anya and Xander, and in the other window seat sat Giles, who looked very tired, and worn out. Willow knew he needed the holiday and hopefully he would have fun.

The safety talk came and went as did dinner and by five hours into the trip everyone, but Willow and Spike were asleep. They were playing poker, with a small deck of cards that the stewardess had brought them, which Willow was dominating with five wins to Spike's three.

Seven hours into the trip Xander was the only one awake, he sat watching the movie and when it hit a boring bit he chose to study the little group assembled around him. He kept the headphones on as he examined them so that when it became interesting again he could return. At the far end he saw Spike and Willow, she was resting on his shoulder and for the first time in what seemed a long time she looked untroubled in her sleep. Although everyone thought that he was dense he could see that those two liked each other and though they would have to beat it out of him with a large stick, he thought that they would make a good couple.

Next to them was Buffy and Riley, he couldn't say he liked Riley, they was something about the guy that made him uncomfortable. Not in the same way as Angel had, he actually believed that Buffy would only be truly happy is Angel came back, but he couldn't see that happening anytime soon.

Next to him was Anya, he loved her though he had never told her, he had a feeling she knew and he knew that one day he might get over himself enough to tell her.

On his other side was Giles, though he was not their real father all of them thought of him as one, since their parents were kind of on the neglective side, well Buffy's mum wasn't but still.

Fifteen hours in and everyone was awake and having a heated discussion about the current movie, 'The Patriot'. Spike thought it wasn't accurate enough his only basis for the claim being that he was actually there. Willow thought Heath Ledger was a fine looking man and had mentioned that he was actually from Australia, Buffy disagreed and said he was really from England. Anya sighed and said that he was indeed nice looking but had heard he was really a woman, which both Buffy and Willow venomously denied. Riley said that he thought the way they held the guns was just wrong, and Xander agreed while Spike said the Americans really were pathetic and he thought Britain should have killed them all. Giles sat on the sidelines mediating.

Twenty two hours after departing they arrived in Australia-Western Australia-Perth, in fact, they went through customs and were greeted by a lady holding a sign with Willow's name on it.

They walked over and spoke to the women who looked to be in her early forties, she was wearing a pair of jeans and a sweater.

"Hey, I'm Willow and this is Spike, Buffy, Riley, Xander, Anya and Giles."

"It's nice to meet you I'm Miss April, no comment young man," she said gesturing towards Xander. "Do you wanna grab your bags, we have to get over to the other terminal so you can catch your plane."

"But I thought that we were staying here, in Perth."

"You are, but you're going down to Albany for a fortnight first, that's where the people you are all staying with are. Mr Giles, you are welcome to remain up here and go down with the adults if you wish."

"Yes thank you I would like to get out of their hair as much as they would like me out of it."

"Okay well we better get going."

Ten minutes later after grabbing they're bags they made their way into the domestic terminal and got their tickets.

"Well, goodbye I leave you here Thomas will pick you up in Albany, he'll probably have a sign with something stupid written on it."

"Okay well it was very nice to meet you and I assume we will be seeing you again sometime soon."

"Yes I will be down on Friday night with the other parents."

"Okay, bye Miss April."

Twenty minutes later they were again in the air, this time on their way to Albany.
