Title: Making Ends Meet
~*~*~*Summary - Set after "Chosen." Buffy misses Spike so the Scoobies try to open up a portal to bring, but instead it backfires and they, except Buffy and Andrew, are sucked into the dimension Spike is in. Having no money, no job, Buffy can't pay the rent so she and Andrew must move onto the street, and try to find a way to get their friends back.
~*Disclaimer-Don't own the characters they belong to Joss. U know the drill.
~ The bus pulled up outside the shiny sky scraper. The words "Wolfram &Hart" were engraved above the entrance. Men and women in suits and skirts were going to and fro from the building. Robin slammed on the breaks and the Scoobies jumped out.
"Here we are," said Buffy as they walked towards the shiny glass doors.
"I still don't get it Buff. You said they were evil. Now you're all "We need some help," whined Dawn.
"That was when Angel wasn't in charge," said Buffy.
They walked inside and made their way over to a desk. A blonde haired woman sat there wearing a top with a unicorn made out of sequins.
"Welcome to Wolfram & Hart , how can I hel-Buffy."
"HARMONY!?" Buffy exclaimed.
"O yea well, you know Angel always liked me better, and then he so generously asked me to be his personal secretary I just couldn't resist. You know, didn't want to hurt his feelings," Harmony snickered and tossed her hair back.
"Riight, I need to talk to him, now," Buffy said in an anguished manner.
"I'm sorry, but you don't have a reservation and a man of Angel's status is very busy," Harmony said in a snarky voice.
"I'm sure he'd make an exception."
"NO Buffy! I make the decisions here not you. Not everything is about you!"
"Really?! Well, last time I checked you were a vampire, and lucky me I kill vampires so unless you want me to stake you right here and now, you're going to put those secretarial skills to use and page him for me," Buffy threatened.
"Fine!" "Angel to the Front Desk, Angel to the front desk," Harmony's voice rand over the loud speaker.
The Scoobies had made their way over to the lobby and sat quietly. Andrew had picked up a book called "Raising demons for dummies" and was flipping through it's pages.
Just then a broody looking man came over to them.
"Angel," Dawn squealed.
"Wasn't told you were coming. Guess Harm's not doing her job," said Angel in his casual voice.
"So did the amulet work?"
"Yea. The first is all gone as well as Sunnydale," said Buffy shifting uncomfortably on her feet.
"Huh?"
"It's kinda a crater. Like the moon, but not made out of cheese and no cows jumping over it," Willow stepped in.
"Wow! Did you all make it?"
Buffy grabbed his arm and led him away from Xander who looked upset again.
"Kind of not. Spike, Anya and some other potentials died," Buffy said looking saddened.
"Well. Can't say I'm gonna miss Spike, but that's too bad."
Buffy felt steam rising inside her but calmed it down.
"Anyway Angel we need a place to stay."
Angel thought she was hinting towards Wolfram & Hart, "O right. Yeah, you can stay here. We've got some ah rooms upstairs, I mean near the top."
"Oh. I was kind of meaning elsewhere. I don't want to clog your system and we've got a mini army. Plus Andrew, he'd probably snoop and maybe piss off one of your clients with his ramblings and well no more Andrew.
"That's a bad thing?"
"More or less," said Buffy.
"I was wondering if you knew anywhere and if I could have a loan. Which I will defiantly pay back. It's just are money is all kind of well gone. Ashes in the crater.
"Sure. There's a relatively nice motel on the other side of town. Air conditioners, restaurant and lots of rooms. Plus I'm pretty loaded after." he looked around the lobby, "This."
They sorted things out and Angel gave them the money and they left for the motel.
A/N: I know little bit shorter. Please review, cause I don't want to waste my time writing if no one likes it. Lol. Next chapter up soon.
