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 - Don't own any of the characters (

A/N: Thanks for the reviews guys1 Did u like the Portal, I know the whole Dawn/Andrew part sucked, but I was done and forgot to add it in, so that was the only place where I really could. Once Dawn comes back I'll make it better. Thank G-d I didn't have to write Kennedy lol. Actually that last chapter was the shortest, not the longest, ooops. Guess this will be kinda like part 2. Spike will be coming back soon, but I still have to think of a way. newayz hope u like this chap.!

~*Buffy scrambled up off the ground, her head hurt where she had banged when she fell, but it didn't seem to matter.

"Oh my god!" she said starting to cry.

Andrew still stood there.

"This can't be happening, The fair maiden blows me though kiss, and then do us part, she is sucked in to thee to be lost for all eternity, no love filled rose, no-" he started to cry, "No, wedding on the set of Star Trek Enterprise!"

Buffy ignored him.

"We have to go after them! We have to." she said with a waterfall of tears coming down her cheeks.

"We can't none of us can call upon those sorts of powers, we're to weak," Andrew said glumly.

'No, but Angel and them could," she said starting to smile. "Come on!"

The pair ran all the way there. Through the front doors and up to the counter where Harmony sat.

'Welcome to Wolfram and Hart, how can I help you," she looked up.

Buffy expected her to say "Oh, it's you again" or something along those lines, instead she just sat there waiting for Buffy to say something.

'I need to talk to Angel, Harmony," she said a little stunned. "Sorry, he's busy right now can I take a message.wait a sec. how do you know my name?" she asked.

"Duh, I've known you for like 8 years!"

"Oh no, here we go again. There was this whole spell that made people go crazy, Angel is trying to fix it at this very moment, I'll tell him you were here," said Harmony and started filing her nails.

"What?" Buffy said.

"Page him Harmony!"

But she didn't need to just then Fred came around the corner.

"Fred! I really need your help!" said Buffy throwing her arms around her.

Fred pushed her off.

"What the?" Fred said.

"Who are you?" she asked Buffy.

"Buffy," Fred still looked blank, "Buffy Summers. Angel's ex, the slayer," Buffy said looking for a trace of realization.

Fred shook her head and started to walk away. 'I thought I told you not to let in crazies Harmony," she muttered.

Buffy sighed, and sniffed back some tears. Why didn't they remember her!

Harmony had obviously left to get more coffee. Buffy made her way back to the counter, she looked at the pager. She could work it. She'd seen Robin do it lots of times. How hard could it be?

She picked up the receiver pressed page then enter, a ringing noise filled the speakers.

Buffy spoke into it "Angel to the 'cough' front desk, um Angel to the front desk."

Harmony came rushing out spilling coffee down her shirt. "What the heck are you doing?"

Suddenly Angel came around the corner.

"Angel, hi! I need help. No one here remembers me and all my friends got sucked through the portal and I need to get them back," she said quickly.

"Do I know you?"

"Not you too, Angel please try to remember, who was your girlfriend for two years!"

"I've never had a girlfriend that lasted longer then a month. Not that you need to be knowing that," said Angel placidly.

'True, aside from me. Just listen-"

"Sorry miss, I'm really busy, I don't have time to listen to some.sob story," and he turned away and left.

"I guess that means we're trapped," said Andrew looking devastated.

The two made their way back to the motel. This was their last day there. The carpet had a black stain where the portal had been, and it smelt like burnt toast.

"It smells like burnt toast," said Andrew.

Buffy ignored him, "How could this have happened! I don't understand, everything was fine and then.spider!"

"Huh?" asked Andrew.

"Willow I heard her ask for a spider!"

Andrew shifted uncomfortably on his feet. So it was his fault, he thought.

"Oh, did it happen to um, have, um eight legs?" asked Andrew dumbly.

"Wow Andrew, you're right! Are you physic!" said Buffy sarcastically.

"I kinda squashed it," said Andrew fast and quietly, but Buffy still heard.

Buffy punched him in the face, holding back a little. Andrew fell on to a bed and started to cry, Buffy did too on the other bed, they just sat and cried for the whole night.

Morning~ A knock came to the door, Buffy opened it, hoping it would be Angel, and he'd have remembered her, but she doubted it, and she was right with the doubting. The "pizza stained man" stood there.

"You're evicted."

A/N: The return of the pizza stained man lol. This chapter was kinda sad I guess, it will get better, I know how to bring Spike back now, but you'll have to find out l8r.
