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 all sucked in to the dimension Spike is in. Having no money, 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.
~* Disclaimer - No, I don't own any of the characters they belong to Joss. Well except for that hick that I made up last chapter, but he's a strong disappointment. Lol. ??
~ Bring the alarm clock in the motel room went off. Slowly Buffy pulled herself out of bed. Her pillow was a little tear stained from the previous night, but luckily Dawn didn't notice.
"So what's on board for today Buff? I think we should have a post Sunnydale apocalypse party," said Willow yawning.
"Oh. yea you know that guy at the desk had some pizza we could swap it," said Buffy sarcastically.
"Ew" said Dawn combing her hair and pacing across the motel room, "He had a beer gut."
Xander moaned, and his head emerged from the blankets. His hair stuck up and it looked a little bit like he too had been crying, but he covered it up.
" Man, I feel bad for Giles, making him share a room with a punk slayer, nerd and.Wood. I mean that's gotta be like what his nightmares are made of," said Xander sleepily.
"And getting lost in book stacks and not being able to read,' said Buffy with a shrug thinking back to her first year when all their nightmares came true.
Just then there was a knock on the door.
Willow walked over to open it.
"Hey B. Get a good nights sleep?" said Faith pushing her way in.
"The best," said Buffy with a small smile.
"Nice digs. Me like," said Faith sitting down on a bed.
"Remind me to trade with you tonight. Andrew just finished driving me.what's the word.oh, Insane!" said Robin Wood as he walked in to the room followed closely by a sleep deprived Giles, and a frowning Andrew.
"So B what's on deck?"
"Um."
"The word you should be using is what's on the holodeck," said Andrew to himself.
"We're not sure. I was thinking party, but no dough boy,'
"Huh?" asked Faith looking at Willow like she was on drugs.
"Money," explained Dawn.
"Well, you all have your own ideas, but I for one think we should gather up all the potentials and call a meeting. Discuss what were going to do now; where they are going to go if we will train them, you know the important things," said Giles fixing his glasses.
The Scoobies stared at him blankly.
"Or ah not,' he said somewhat embarrassed, to be given "the look."
"Actually, we probably should. But we could order pizza so it would be a "parmeeting," said Willow with hope in her eyes.
"I guess so,' agreed Buffy.
"Great. I'll give 'em a call. A wake up," said Willow.
"I'll come with," said Xander.
"And me," said Andrew.
They raised their eyebrows.
"I'll get the pizza then," said Andrew.
"No, we don't know what they want," said Buffy.
"I'll get their orders then. When I come with you."
"Uh, fine."
"Great, just let me get a note pad and pen," said Andrew scurrying through the motel. Willow and Xander started to leave and Andrew ran after them.
"Knock. Knock," said Willow coming to Vi, Rona, Sarah and Kennedy's door.
"Hey," said Vi as it swung open.
"We're calling a meetin-" Willow elbowed him, "A parmeeting," said Xander making quotation marks with his hands.
"Now young potentials, you have a choice of Hawaiian pizza, with succulent pineapple chunks, roast pieces of ham, fresh black olives and-"
"Shut up Andrew," said Xander.
"Ok, Ok. There's the delicious meal option that I just described, cheese, pepperoni & cheese, meat lovers special or Vegetarian pizza. Knock on doors and take a poll from the other girls which ever has the most is the on we buy. I'm not being paid so I'm not going to work my butt off. Capiche?" said Andrew, "I'm giving you my pen and notepad. Defend it with your very life," said Andrew putting a hand on Vi's shoulder.
"Get off!"
"Ok, so girls just tell the others, we have to get back. Oh, and say hi to Kennedy for me," said Willow.
"Sure, but I don't think their all up yet, especially not my room mates," said Vi taking out some hair curlers from a bag.
"Do your best small one. You're last hope Obi wan Kenobi," said Andrew turning to leave.
They left Vi looking puzzled in the door way.
By 2:00 pm all the potentials were gathered in Buffy's motel room. Andrew had gone to Vulcan's pizza after cheese had one in a battle against pepperoni and cheese by one point. Giles stood in the middle with a group of anxious potentials looking at him.
"Yes. Um so now th, that you are all slayers you have a choice to make. You can ah stay here and train with Buffy or return to your homes across the world.
Their voices ruffled across the room.
Giles continued: "I hope to buy a. place and make it like a slayer boarding school, but a donation from your families will be required for food, and outfits and what not." "Outfits! No way Gramps. You can't make them wear outfits," said Faith with a look of horror on her face.
"I'll make them optional, but I find them rather smashing," said Giles with a smile.
"You also find afternoon tea smashing," said Dawn with a giggle.
The potentials talked about it. Most of them wanted to go back home, but visit whenever they could. The originals i.e. Rona, Vi, Kennedy, Cho-Ann decided to stay though. They would write home and ask for money. Just then Andrew walked in and they all started to chow down.
A/N- Thought I had more homework than I actually did. Still haven't gotten any reviews! If you like, R-E-V-I-E-W!
