* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Having been elected to be the snack getter, once again. Xander stands in front of the line of snack machines. Trying to make sense of his, own handwriting, with a confused face. He looks down at the piece of paper in his hand. Hoping that what was written there was Twinkies, but not to sure of it, at all.
Everyone else was in Spikes office, going over the spell that Willow had come up with to break the link. They only had two hours, before they left for the monastery.
Angel had finally convinced the monks that live there to let them cast the spell there, after he reminded them of the fact that he had saved the whole place from an attack by something called a Tralfagor. Xander had no idea what the hell a Trail fag what ever is, but he had asked and gotten a long and disgusting description from Gunn.
Now he's standing in front of the vending machines and wondering how the heck he's going to carry all of this junky goodness back to the office. Shrugging his shoulders he pushes the button for the Twinkies. Figuring he'll make a few trips as he pushes the flap, and grabs the package of non-deteriorating sugary snack cakes.
"Hey, Xan! They told me to come and see what happened to you. You've been gone for like ever." Dawn says, making the poor guy jump, and nearly drop the snacks in his arms, as she bounces up to him, with Knox in tow.
He smiles at the bouncing brunette, and grabs a bag of chips before they hit the floor. "Well, I was wondering how I was gonna get all this stuff back to the office, and trying to decipher what the heck I had written down on the list. It seems I've written it in some ancient archaic language that hasn't been found yet." Tilting his head slightly, and smiling evilly at the pair standing in front of him, he laughs, "Guess who just got elected to help me?"
"Shoot, I knew it, I just knew it. They sent me out here to be a freaking pack animal. Didn't they? She jokes; rolling her eyes and takes an armload of chips and snacks.
At the sound of having to help, Knox turns on his heels and tries for the hasty get away back to his beloved lab.
"Hey, Science boy. Where do you think you're going? There's still drink that have to bought and carried." Xander shouts, as he catches the lab tech trying to go around a corner and hide.
"I'm a scientist, not a Chinese restaurant server, I don't deliver. Well unless you want a Trans-dimensional Particle Separator, in which case I can deliver." Crossing his arms over his chest, and smiling as a piece of sloppy hair falls over his face, Knox retorts as he turns around to face the one-eyed man.
"Well, you've just gotten a promotion. You're now the human drink carrier and buyer." Xander harmlessly jokes back at the scientist with a smirk.
Dawn slaps the man on the shoulder. Xander! Be nice!" She exclaims and laughs at the poor guys stricken face.
"What? What did I do? I was only stating the obvious, and there's no way that we carry all of this junk. We need help and he's the only one around. For this is our mission if we chose to accept it."
" God, Xan. You really need to quit hanging around Andrew. He's rubbing off on you." Dawn shakes her head, looking at her friend, and wondering where Andrew had been the last few days. "Where is he anyway?" She voices her thoughts."
"Oh he found out that his family was up in a suburb, and went to tell them that he was alright, and everything. Thank god. I really needed a break from him. He should be back by the time we leave for Cleveland next week. He said that he would like to see Wood, so he'll be here."
"Oh!" Dawn shrugs her shoulders at the explanation. "I'm sooo glad I won't be with you guys, then."
Knox had been looking between the two as they talked about the annoying little nerd boy that always came down to the lab to ask lots of questions. He shakes his head and looks over to Xander. "I'll help, but only this one time, and it's also under protest, if you two keep talking about that guy." He smiles ruefully at the other two who abruptly shut their mouths. He grabs the sheet of paper out of Xanders hand and heads for the drink machines.
"The drink list is on the back." Xander says as he hastily follows the scientist to the other side of the room.
Flipping the paper over, "You're right this is written in some foreign language. What the hell is this?" Knox says, trying to figure out if the paper says, Dr. Pepper or Mr. Pibb.
"You got me, man. Just get whatever you think it might be, it's a freaking guessing game." Xander answers, looking over his shoulder at the machine he is leaning against. " Hey, did you guys know that this machine is exclusively used for dispensing blood packets?"

(Here's another chappy. This should be finished by Friday, so all you guys review. You might just get more than one chappy a day.)
Kari: Hello and how are you? I couldn't just let Spike be stuck in L.A. now could I? I like him way too much to let him live in hell, and that would be hell for him. Surprises? You want surprises? Well, believe me I have a few more up my sleeve, before this ends. I can't wait to see your reaction to some of them.
Misspiggyau: So glad to see yet another name on the review list. So glad to see that you are enjoying this and enjoyed the others in the series as well. Believe me when I say that the Spuffiness will continue, maybe not in this series, but in quite a few more. Right now I'm working on two fics and the near future may see sequels to Haunted by Memories and Questions. Thanks for your review, continue to enjoy.
