chapter 2
~~~
After her discussion with Willow, Buffy had headed home to pack a few things. She was headed to La to see her 'sister' and nothing short of an apocalips or death was going to stop her. Willow had even said she would come along as moral support incase Faith didn't even want to speak to her and to see for herself if Faith had changed. Checking her watch Buffy saw that it was elven o'clock, she could either borrow Xander's car or catch the bus down, presented with those two options one unlikely the other undesirable Buffy picked up the phone to call Giles.
After ten minutes of pleading, begging, threatening and finally blackmail Buffy was happily ready to walk out the door to go and pick Giles' car up. Having already arranged for Xander and Anya to look after Dawn while she was away.
Feeling only slighly guilty about the whole dumbing Dawn on Xander and Anya, but then Faith had always been popular in Dawn's book. Not that Buffy had told Dawn all of what Faith had gotten up to when she had changed to the dark side, in fact Dawn barely even knew that Faith had turned to the dark side, the one thing that she could have hidden was the whole body swapping thing.
Buffy opened the front door to find Willow standing there her hand raised to push the door bell.
"Hi, ready to go?" Buffy asked looking at the shoulder bag that Willow had with her and giving her friend a soft smile.
Willow nodded her head "So exactly what form of transport are we taking, Xander's car or the bus?" she asked making a face at both prospects.
Buffy just grinned "neither, we're going over to the Magic Box to pick up Giles' car, he's lending it to me" she said with a very self satisfied smirk.
"Giles let you borrow his car? How exactly did you con Giles into letting you have his car?" Willow demanded putting on her resolved face.
Buffy took a second to grin mysteriously then laughted "I meerly pointed out the high crime rate on bus transportation and asked if he was looking forward to having to drive to LA to bail me out for beating up some muggers. When he suggested Xander's car I resorted to listing the defects and un-road worth parts of it, then I asked if he wanted to have to drive to LA to pick us up after we get pulled over and the car get's put off the road. He was almost ready to go with that when I suggested he would have to pick up Anya every morning from her appartment. He was quiet happy to give me the keys after that" Buffy said with a wide grin.
Willow shook her head "you know torturing the watcher is only supposed to be done by the evil guys for information, not by the good guys for his car" she says with a barely hidden smile.
Buffy gave Willow a propperly chastised look which fell apart when she started to giggle.
Willow just shook her head "So are you ready to go?" she asked a little nervously she'd only been in the car once with Buffy and that had of course ended with a small car crash during the band candy incident. She wasn't overly eager to jump into harms way even if it had been a few years since that incident.
Walking out the front door Buffy turned and smiled "comming?"
~~~
Five minutes later and both Buffy and Willow were driving out of Sunnydale and heading for LA to visit Faith to see what could be done about getting her out of jail.
Willow was happily supprised to find that Buffy could indeed drive.
When Buffy had noticed the look of supprise on Willow's face she had laughted "What are you expecting me to get in to a car crash.
A solid two hour drive later with the various topics of conversation been light and practically meaningless Buffy stopped in the visitor's car park. Exiting the car both girls headed for the visitors sign in area to ask about visiting Faith.
It seemed that they were in luck, since Faith had been a model inmate, they were allowed to visit her for an hour. Buffy and Willow were both shown to a small both and asked to wait while Faith was informed of her unannounced visiters.
