"Faith! Hi!" exclaimed Fred, coming out of the science division. "I had no idea you were coming here. I mean, Angel did mention that you guys were staying in the hotel, but I didn't know you'd be here!" She hugged Faith.
"Excuse me, Mr. Gunn?" said a man.
"Gotta go. I'll talk later, Faith."
Fred looked at her watch. "Faith, I would love to catch up at some point, but right now I have a client meeting. I'm proposing this idea of bullet proof glass in all of the LA jewelry stores and banks and vampire sun-tan lotion." She smiled, "I'll see you later. You too Wes!"
After she left, Faith looked at her Watcher. "Ask her out man."
"What?"
"Yeah. It's obvious you're trippin' over her, so why not fall?" she slapped his arm grinning.
"Looks like you're giving relationship advise to everyone," said Dawn, coming off the elevator.
"Ready to go, Brat?"
"Yep!" Dawn gave Wesley a good hard look. "I think you should ask her out too. You really need a girlfriend and she seems like a really neat girl!"
Desperately trying to change the subject, Wes asked, "Are you guys staying in LA?"
Dawn shrugged. "Don't really know. I still have to do what Buffy does for another two years."
Faith shrugged. "I need to talk to Robin about that. But after being gutted like fish, he's not really in any mood to talk about the future."
"But was up for plenty more last night," muttered Dawn to Wesley, which both smothered a laugh.
"What'd you say?"
"Nothin'."
"We'd better go or your sis is gonna kill me." She put her arm around the girl. "Wes. We're outta here."

Buffy took a nap that afternoon. First one in, well since she was dead. Of course this one only lasted an hour instead of 147 days. She found Giles in the kitchen when she was getting a sandwich. "Headache much?"
"I'm not as young as I used to be," he said putting his glasses on. "I won't have alcohol for a while now." After she sat down at the table, Giles looked at her with that fatherly gaze. "How are you doing?"
"Okay, I guess. Talking to Mom helped, even if it was only for a little bit." Giles nodded. "Are you okay? I mean, with talking to. . Jenny."
He looked down. "It was hard. I finally got to tell her everything that I wanted to back then." He rose from his seat to get a glass of water, indicating that the conversation was over.
"What about Xander? Have you seen him?"
"I think it would be good if the two of you talked." Buffy had never thought about that. Both of them had lost someone they loved. Maybe a little bit of closure would be good.
Then the front door opened, revealing Faith and her sister. "What'd he want?" asked Buffy.
Dawn shrugged. "Just what happened."
"I just waited around talkin' to Gunn and Wes," commented Faith.
"Wesley looks really good. Like 'hot' good," said Dawn, causing her sister to blush and Giles to look down.
Faith nodded in agreement. "Yeah, and when we were hunting down Angelus, he was using guns to slow him down. It was wicked!"
"Does this mean I have to compete?" asked a voice behind Faith. Before she could do anything, Robin picked her up and twirled her. Faith giggled. Everyone in the room stared. No one had heard Faith giggle.
"Maybe," she said still being held by him.
"How can I change your mind?" he asked going down for her lips. Instead of kissing Faith, he tickled her. There were more stares, and the laughter brought a few Slayers, Tara, and Willow downstairs.
"Sorry," said Dawn. "You can go back." All but the witches did.
Buffy shook her head and went into the room where Xander stayed. "Hey."
"Hey."
"How're you doing?"
Xander sighed. "I've had better days. Talking to her made me feel better. She said she didn't feel to much pain. Makes me feel a little bit better." Buffy nodded. "How are you?"
"I'm fi-"
"Don't say fine. I know that lingo. You're never fine."
The Slayer grinned. "Darn. You know me to well." She sighed. "I wanna cry. But I'm all cried out."
"Understand that."
"Now that I think back, if Faith hadn't talked to me, I wouldn't have gotten out of that cavern."
"She told me what you two did. The night before the battle." Buffy ducked her head embarrassed. "I'm not really as upset as I thought I'd be."
"Really?"
"Yeah. I mean, sure I still don't totally like him, but I got to the point where I respected him." She nodded. "So, where are we gonna go now?"
"I don't know."
"How about Cleveland? More Hellmouth-y adventures."
"You want to go to another Hellmouth?" He shrugged in response.
"Where else are we gonna go that makes sense?"
The Slayer took that in. "Would you come with?"
He nodded. "Definitely."
-------------------------------------------------------------
So they're gonna go to another Hellmouth. Hmmm. Interesting things in store. Plus, a little bit of what a lot of you guys are asking for. ;-)
As always. REVIEW!
