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 - yup I own them. Jk. If I did this story would be used as a script.

A/N: Man! I haven't updated in like.forever! I've had writers block and been really busy. Plus I started a new story. Check it out, it's called camp & love games, it will be spuffy! To pixxie: You complained about how you didn't get angel season 5 yet in Australia and how this story wrecked it for you, well I put in the chapter name that chapter 13 contained spoilers, so if you went ahead and read it anyway it's not my fault. Thanks to everyone else for the reviews though. Happy reading.

~* Buffy was puzzled for a minute, it seemed like Spike had been back forever and she didn't know why he didn't know where he was. Then she remembered.

"Oh right, yea well, um. Willowdidthisspellanditbackfiredandtheywereallsuckedinandnobodyrememberswhoi am,ohthespellwastobringuback,butthenigotamytodoit," Buffy explained way too fast for Spike to understand.

"Sorry luv, didn't catch it all, what are you trying to say?"

Buffy explained slower and Spike managed to grasp the story. Amy sat still holding up the portal, but it seemed easier for her now.

"So what do you want to do, any good movies playing? Is the matrix out yet, they stole the idea with the dusters from me you know," Spike asked trying to lighten the mood.

"Um I don't know, but we don't have time to be egbert and roeper right now (AN: Is that how you spell their names?!)," Buffy said.

"We have to go in," she cocked her head towards the portal, "there."

"Yet it seems like I just got back,' Spike held out his hand, "You might want to take some weapons, s'not like heaven in there."

"Hey don't forget about Me!," Andrew said running up.

"What?! We have to take him," Spike said annoyed.

"Well he did help me, and we can't just leave him here," Buffy reasoned. "Great I'll go get the weapons," Andrew beamed.

Andrew came back carrying an axe, stakes and crossbows. They each took one and climbed in with a flash of light.

Amy sighed. Just then a customer came in to the back part after hearing voices. Amy looked up.

"Hey there's five bucks on the counter, could you go get me a coke?" she asked.

AN: Yea I kno I'm lazy, but I have to go bo homework, this is only part one of the chapter, the second half will be up by Tuesday probably unless I have time later on. Please review! I haven't got any lately, and R&R my other story pleaz!

"Wow that was cool, I wonder if that's what it's like to be beamed," said Andrew very impressed.

"Don't know bugger, but they probably don't come out in this," Spike said gazing around at the familiar surroundings. Buffy gulped. This was hell. Not a wussy hellmouth, the real deal. Large escarpments with fire coming off of them surrounded them like four walls. Several tunnels led in and out of the facility. Demons of all kinds walked around, carrying axes that were 20 feet long or more. Buffy looked down at their pitiful weapons.

"You survived this!" Buffy said incredulously.

"Yea, can't die since your already dea-"

Just then an arrow went flying over their heads. Andrew let out a high pitched warrior scream, but it sounded more so flamboyant.

Every single demon looked up and stopped what they were doing. One that had tarnished horns, and a definite drooling problem that appeared to be a leader grunted and the demons raised their weapons.

"It seemed appropriate at the time." Andrew gulped. He had screwed up again.

A/N: Ok ok I didn't update when I said I would, but I was really busy, but I'm done all my projects now so I'll be updating as much as I can. I haven't got very many reviews lately ( so if I don't get anymore the stories I'm working on will go on a hiadus. So PLEASE review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
