Title: Making Ends Meet
~*~*~* Summary - Set after "Chosen." Buffy misses Spike so the Scoobies try to open up a portal to bring him back, but instead it backfires and they, except Andrew and Buffy, are sucked into the dimension Spike is in. Having no money no, no job, Buffy can't pay the rent so she and Andrew must move on to the street, and try to find a way to get her friends back.

~ The bus turned the corner and made its way down Kinlade Blvd. At the end a sign said 'The Old Millennium Motel. All you can eat buffet." They pulled into a parking lot with many cracks in it and made their way to the front doors. It was a small room and it reeked strongly of Tobacco. Dawn turned up her nose. They made their way over to a small counter cluttered with plastic dishes and garbage.
"What do ya want?" said an unshaven man with a top that had numerous pizza stains on it.
"Oh, ah we need like." Buffy turned around and started to count the potentials heads.
"Probably a dozen rooms," Buffy said with an unsure voice.
The man nodded and tossed her a dozen sets of keys and room numbers.
"How long ya here for? You ain't stayin longer than a week," he said.
"A week is good, all we need," said Willow.
"OK then. That's $562.08. Best deal you're gonna find in L.A."
They walked outside and tried to find all the rooms.
"OK. Vi, Rona, Kennedy and Sarah, you're in here," ordered Buffy.
"I want to be with Willow!" complained Ken.
"Look, it's late, I'm tired and I'm not gonna do bunking accommodations that everyone wants. Just do what I say," said Buffy.
Kennedy narrowed her eyes, but went inside.
Buffy sorted all the potentials until it was down to her friends and Andrew.
"K, Xander, Willow, and Dawn you guys will stay with me. Faith, Wood, Giles and Andrew that room," said Buffy pointing to number 25.
Faith moaned." C'mon B, I don't want to be stuck with Skywalker. Wood and I might want to."
"No!" chorused Giles and Buffy.
Faith sighed and said goodnight.
The remaining four went in and sat down on the bumpy beds. There were two Queen sized beds, meaning they would have to share. The walls were a cream and two end tables sat to the right of the beds. A small window with and air conditioner sticking out of it was at the end, and a washroom with chipped floors, a toilet that didn't flush right and a shower.
"I'll bunk with Wil," said Xander falling back on the bed with a sigh. Like all his worries were gone.
"Guess it's you and me sis," said Dawn, "Don't hog the covers, don't use up the warm water and don't leave your towels on the floor."
"Oh, did you pay for this room Dawn?" Dawn rolled her eyes. "My point exactly."
Meanwhile in the next room Andrew looked in all the drawers and examined the designers. Finally he sat down next to Giles. " I like it," he said.
"Like what?" said Giles with a sigh.
"The motel. The name is wicked, you know like the "Millennium Falcon. I like the Death Star though." Andrew started to make laser noises with his tongue.
"Oh please shut up Andrew1" said Giles.
"Hmmm. It's kinda like we're camping new place, small funds, dumpy motel and bed partners," he said looking at Giles.
Giles cringed and put on his bed cap.
Slowly the lights at the motel went out, and they drifted off to sleep, but Buffy's thoughts drifted towards Spike and quietly she started to cry.
A/N~ Well another chapter, but a new one won't be up for a while so enjoy for now!. And review!
