Chapter Two: Informing Giles, and Finding a place

(A/N: I should explain this first, Faith never betrayed them, Buffy died after 5th, but Willow resurrected her, Xander never left Anya at the alter, because they aren't married yet, Tara doesn't exist neither does Oz, Spike and Buffy never kissed, and Angel never left! Okay? Means they are thinking, and ~~~~ means new time or new day! Oops, I almost forgot! I do not own Buffy, although the only ones I really want are Willow, Angel and Spike. *I could do a lot with those three, heehee*)



"Buffy, it is 9:00 A.M., I think it is time you woke up." Willow exclaimed walking into her bedroom. She wasn't surprised when she saw Angel lying next to her. He stirred, and looked up at Willow.

"Morning, Buffy was explaining to me about the trip." He muttered through yawns.

"I am sure that is all you were doing!" He smiles at her naughty remark, and they hear a knock. "I'll get it!" She said while running down the stairs.

"Beat you to it!" Dawn laughed as she opened the door. Spike walked in casually, well, as casually as you can get walking in with a blanket thrown over your head. He wasn't in as hurry, but he just came to visit his favorite witch, and little bit. He wasn't too fond of the Slayer, but he never messed with her, with the poof running around. He didn't refer to his sire kindly, probably the whole 'I am in charge of you. You are my childe, do as I say.' Thing he has over Spike.

"Hey nibblet, Red, what you two birds doing today?" Spike asked walking behind Willow, and grabbing her sides. She squealed, and turned to look at him.

"We are going to inform Giles that we are going on a trip, and we don't know where to go yet." She gazed into his ice-blue eyes, and smiled in satisfaction. I caught me a winner! She thought to herself.

"You mean the WHOLE group? Like, including me?" Dawn asked, getting giddy over the information slipped out by Willow.

"Yes even you Bit, I wouldn't let them leave you if my undead life depended on it!" He waltzed over and gave her a hug. Since he was so much bigger than she was, it consumed her. She giggled and pushed him away. "So, are we going to go tell Giles, or stand in the Slayer's doorway all day?" Spike asked sarcastically.

"Once Buffy, and..." Just then the two walked down stairs holding hands.

"Peaches!" Spike said mockingly, "Wow, so great to see you this early in the morning!" Angel rolled his eyes, for he was used to Spike's cocky mood, he had been hassling with it for centuries.

"Yep, we are ready to tell Giles! Off we go!" Buffy smiled, and ran out the door.

"Sweetie, Spike and I will be there soon enough!" Angel yelled outside, shading himself from the sun.

"Okay pumpkin, whatever you say!" Buffy tossed back her hair, and scooted into the driver's seat.

"Why don't you let me drive!" Willow demanded, laughing at Buffy's pouty face. "Don't give me that, I am not getting in a car accident right before my big break!" She snorted, and turned the ignition, she waved to Spike, and peeled out of the driveway.

"So pumpkin, what are we going to do now?" Spike said in his most girly voice, trying to bat his eyes. He laughed when Angel swatted at his head and missed. "Whoa Peaches, guess you are getting bad aim, at your old age."

"I should remind you just how good my aim is!" Angel said kicking Spike in his shin.

"You bloody carcass, why I oughta..." Spike discontinued his sentence when he saw Angel's expression. "I oughta shut the bloody hell up, that is what I oughta do!"

They laughed, and ran down the street, good thing they were both athletic (somewhat) or it might have been funny watching them sprint across lawn, after lawn.

After arriving at Giles' apartment, they all walked in. Xander, Anya, and Faith were already there, but Willow, Dawn, and Buffy waited for Spike and Angel before they entered the building. "Howdy ho!" Willow giggled, happily plopping on the couch next to Xander. Spike took his respected seat next to Willow, but sitting on the arm of the couch. Angel sat in a chair, Buffy on his lap, and Dawn stood next to Faith.

"Well, I g,guess this you all know what this meeting in about!" He said taking off his glasses, and cleaning them.

"Giles, this isn't a glass cleaning subject!" Buffy teased, "We all just want to go on a little vacation."

"No! There is no way I am letting you leave this hell mouth! Not for one second do you think I am going to comply to your complaints, because I am not. Buffy don't give me that puppy dog face, because it w,won't work!" He tried to be in authority, but he looked around the room, and noticed everyone had on a puppy face, even Spike, and Angel. "Fine, but I am warning you, if the world ends, I will not stop myself from saying, 'I told you so!'" They knew he would give in, and clapped when he said his last sentence. "Now here is the question, where are we going?"

"That is just the thing, B, why don't you handle that question." Faith said wickedly, Buffy glared.

"I think Willow is the gal to answer that!" She said pointing to Willow.

"Well, um...." But before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted.

"You see watcher, they have no bloody clue on where they want to go!" Spike finished, satisfied on his forwardness, and just getting to the point.

"Well, I know a place." Anya began.

TBC (A/N: I bet you are wondering where Anya is thinking about going! I know I am! *Laughs* Hey, I am just kidding!)
