This is my first ever fan-fiction so PLEASE be honest but not brutal! The first chapter is going to be fairly short because I'm not exactly sure how to post and I don't want to write something and then lose it. If I do get this posted than the next chapter will be up soon afterwards.
Disclaimer: I am sad to say that I do not own any of Buffy or Angel characters
Summary: After Buffy stops the apocalypse arising in Sunnydale she gets a call from Giles, who has gone back to England and the Watchers council, and he tells her about an apocalypse situation in L.A. Buffy leaves for the trip with Spike right away for L.A. While there she runs into Angel and some other old friends.
Pairing: B/A, B/S/ (friendship), S/F
Buffy was laying on her couch enjoying having quiet since the possible slayers and Giles went back home two days before, leaving her house to her for the moment, when the phone rang. She reached to the floor where she had put the cordless phone and answered.
"Hello," Buffy answered, sounding a bit tired from her nap.
"Buffy? It's Giles. I've got news." Giles voice came over the line sounding strained, like her was about to tell her something he knew she wouldn't want to hear.
"Gee Giles, can't you just call to chat? I'm not going to like this "news" am I? No there is a shocker! News from Giles that I won't like, what is it now? Another apocalypse to stop?" She said sarcastically. She knew that if Giles was calling her it couldn't be good. He very rarely called without bad news.
"Actually, yes." He said before quickly continuing so she shouldn't get the chance to comment. "There is some trouble in L.A. A demon called the Beast is causing lost of trouble there and it looks apocalyptic, raining fire and such.
"So you want me to go and try to stop it." She stated rather than asked, knowing that's what the Watcher wanted.
"Yes. We need you to go there, we will be faxing information on the Beast and the situation around five o'clock today. You may want to train with Spike this afternoon and then take him with you to L.A. You will need to leave right after you get the information. We have already reserved a hotel room for you both for the next several days at a hotel in L.A. called the Hyperion." Giles relayed the information to her in a rush, needing to get to the council to see if he could find any more information the Beast.
"Alright. I'll go tell Spike and the others now. Bye Giles" Buffy said, not sounding at all happy with her task but knowing she didn't have a choice.
"Goodbye Buffy, and good luck." Buffy heard the click from the other end and hung up.
"Fun fun. Another apocalypse for Buffy to stop! And in L.A!" Buffy said dryly to herself. "This just can't get any worse. Besides what are the chances of seeing him there?" She asked herself before grabbing her coat and heading out into the night for the Magic Box where she knew she would find the others. Anya had convinced them to help her clean that night and everyone else had agreed to except Buffy who wanted to relax at home.
"So much for that idea." She thought out loud.
She turned the corner to the Magic Box and went in. Hearing the bell everyone looked up at her. Buffy looked at them all; Dawn, Xander, Anya, Willow and even Spike in old close looking like they had been cleaning for hours.
"What's up Buffy?" Willow asked knowing her friend would not be there if something hadn't come up.
"Giles called. There is an apocalypse starting there. Spike and I have to leave for L.A. tonight." Everyone just stared at her until Spike moved to say something.
"What is this 'Spike and I' business. I don't seem to remember agreeing to this fun filled trip you have planned. I don't relish the idea of seeing the Poof again." Spike commented, not really objecting to going but needing something to state his opinion.
"I'm going to need help and you're the only one here who can match my strength. And I don't think we will be seeing Angel while were there, the world can't hate me that much." Buffy told him.
"She has a point, although I don't know why you wouldn't want to see Dead- Boy, he could help to. She is going to need help fighting whatever it is that's there. Do you know what it is?" Xander asked jumping into the conversation.
"Some demon called the Beast. Giles is faxing information on it over in about an hour. Spike and I have to leave as soon as we get it, so we should go get packed now and then meet back here." Buffy said looking at Spike. "While we do that everyone else should see what they can find out about this thing. Giles already made us reservations for a couple of nights at some hotel in L.A. I think it was called the Hyperion…yeah that was it. So lets get moving, I want to get this over with and be back here as soon as possible." She informed the rest of the Scoobies. When there was no comment from anyone she looked at Spike and the walked out the door to go get packed for their trip.
Once at the house Spike walked down to the basement to get his things packed while Buffy went upstairs to do the same. They packed their clothes and met by the weapon chest. After packing a bag full of weapons they were out the door and Spike was driving them to the store.
"So, no looking forward to a run in with the Poof?" Spiked asked, trying to make conversation.
"I don't really care. I just wouldn't know what to say to him if I did see him. I mean, how would we act around each other? It would wind up being really awkward." Buffy said, turning in her seat to face him. Spike had gotten over his obsession and with the soul realized he loved her more like a sister than anything else, so they were close friends now. She could tell him just about anything. They pulled up to the store and got out. As they entered Buffy saw her friends anxiously reading over the papers Giles had sent.
She walked over to the table where they were all huddled and grabbed the papers. She scanned them quickly before looking at her friends.
"Did you guys find out anything else?" She asked looking at them all.
"No. The little that we did find is in the papers. It doesn't look to fun." Dawn said looking at her sister and the bleach blond vampire.
"Alright. Were leaving now. I'll call the house once we get to the hotel. You guys keep looking, maybe you will find something the Council didn't." Buffy said before she hugged her friends' bye and walked out the door and got in Spikes car. As soon as she was in he sped off towards L.A.
