Buffy and the gang had stopped at a unimart to do their things. Buffy
stood outside, just looking into the night. Soon she would see Angel. Buffy
wondered what Spike would say about that if he was here. He'd probably say
bloody hell or start calling Angel all these names or something. Buffy
smiled. Just then she saw a guy and a girl go behind a restaurant across
the street. He was wearing really outdated clothes, which made Buffy think,
you know, vampire. She ran across the street after them. She hadn't had any
action in a while, so now was the time. She saw the vamp and the girl. The
girl threw him down because he had tried to bite her. She was scared, but
she was a Slayer, just like every other girl in the world.
"Here, try this. You'll find you and the stake go way back," Buffy said, taking out a stake from her pocket and throwing it to her.
She caught it and put it right into his chest. He exploded in a cloud of dust.
"I don't know how I just knew to do that," the girl said.
"What's your name?" Buffy asked.
"My name's Trinity," Trinity said.
"I'm Buffy. Do you live around here?"
"Yeah, just a few blocks away."
Buffy nodded and left. She would definitely be alright. Buffy was going to see if she wanted to tag along to Angel's, but she had a family to go to. Speaking of which, it was time to go see her friends, and talk to her sister. Dawn was tough. She had always been. Xander was still a little upset about Anya, but he was doing well, because he knew she had died fighting on the good side.
Faith was in the unimart, looking around.
"Do you need anything?" Wood asked from her side.
"No thanks," Faith replied.
He walked over to the slushy thing and got one. He took it to the counter and paid for it. He was doing a lot better with his injury, but it was still there. He handed the slushy to Faith.
"This for me?" she asked.
"It sure is," he replied.
"Can you read my mind or something?" Faith asked, taking a sip of the slushy.
"No, I just know you."
"Do you? Cuz there's a lot about me you don't know."
"I could learn if you'd give me the chance."
"Okay, I guess I could do that. How about when we get to Angel's."
He nodded and they went back to the bus. The girls were still in the bathroom. Faith wondered where B was.
"Hey, Dawn. What's up?" Buffy asked her sister, who was still sitting on the bus, alone.
"Nothing. Just needed to think is all," Dawn replied.
"You hungry?" Buffy asked.
"Nope. How's Xander?" Dawn asked.
"Good. You've seen him more than I have though."
"Planning on seeing Angel?"
"Hoping to avoid it. But I know I can't."
"Everyone's coming back now," Dawn said, ending the conversation.
Buffy nodded and headed to the front. Faith came up first.
"Hey, B," she said.
"Hey. Where's Xander?" Buffy asked, noticing he was not there.
"Back in the store I guess," Faith said.
Buffy ran back to the store. She found him looking at a bag of chips.
"Anya used to love these things. I never cared for them whole lot, but I'm finding I like them now," Xander said.
"Come on; let's get you back to the bus. I'll drive for you. Or maybe Giles can drive," Buffy said.
"Giles might drive too slowly. I don't know, it could work," Xander said.
Buffy laughed and the two best friends headed back to the bus. Back to Willow, Giles, Dawn, Kennedy, Wood, Faith and all the others.
"I'm finding it hard to go back to that bus," Xander said.
"I know. It feels like its . . . evil or something," Buffy joked.
Xander smiled and remembered the old days. Buffy cutting school because of some demonic threat. Him chasing after her into the graveyard. Then he'd found out she was a Slayer. Jess had been killed that day. Xander wondered what he'd say if he was still here right now. Rest in peace buddy. And say hi to my wife, Xander thought. Might as well call her that, they had almost gotten married. It was time to move on though. Or hang onto all those memories he had of just three good friends. Buffy, Willow, and Xander. There had been Giles too. That's how it al started, with those three people.
