Ch.4
While Spike drove the car in the middle of the night, Xander was on the phone talking to the gang back in Sunny hell.
"Yeah Will, he knows where he's going."
Spiked raised his eyebrow.
"No, I'm not sticking up for him, but he has a better sense of direction than I do, so I'll leave the navigation up to him."
Spike grinned. He knew Xander would never let anyone think that he agreed with him.
"Can I talk to Dawn?"
::pause::
"Hey, Dawnie! How's it going? You hanging in there?"
"Don't worry. Buffy's fine, she can take care of herself, you know that."
"I know you miss her. I promise we'll have some progress soon. Talk to you soon."
"Let me talk to Tara" Spike said gently.
"Hey, Dawn, tell Tara to pick up the phone."
Xander handed the phone over to Spike.
"Hey, Glenda. Have any luck tracing her?"
"So all you can tell is that she is some where in Florida?"
"Well as long as we have it narrowed down to that one area in Florida. How's Willow doing?"
"Just as long as Giles keeps working with her to control it. How's the bit?"
"Ok. Just let her know I'll find the slayer if it's the last thing I do."
Spike hung up the phone and handed it back to Xander.
:: 2 hours later ::
Xander had only slept for a few hours, but once he woke up, he wasn't tired for the rest of the night.
As they drove, the silence overwhelmed Spike.
"Ok, Harris, you got to ask me questions. I reckon it's my turn now."
Xander smirked. He knew that this was coming.
"Shoot!"
"What's it like to be human?" Spike asked in a mocking tone of voice.
"Ha Ha very funny."
"Just messing with you. What was it about all of Buffy's boyfriends that you didn't like?"
"Well, Angel, I don't have to explain him that much but I'll go on. Well in high school, I adored Buffy. So naturally I didn't like Angel. Riley was always about the Initiative. There would always be secrets between him and Buffy. And you, well, you're you. But I have to admit it, I don't hate you anymore. I just slightly dislike you." Xander said honestly.
"Why didn't you marry Anya?"
"Well, I was only 20 when I proposed. I don't know. I wasn't ready to commit to something that strong. Don't get me wrong I love Anya, but I wasn't ready for that big step. Anya was my first serious relationship. Most people go through three or four of those. It was just, how am I supposed to know if it's the right thing or not. You know?"
"Yeah, mate, I understand."
"This is strange." Xander said.
"What is?"
"This. You and me. 'Bonding'." As Xander said with the air quotations and all.
"It's to be expected. We both l;ove the same woman but in different ways. We've been stuck in a car together for 3 or 4 days. What did you expect? Besides, it's just guy stuff, you know?" Spike replied.
"Yeah, I guess so. Anymore questions?"
"Sort of. Do you remember when Dawn really came? Or do you remember her from when you originally mer Buffy?" Spike asked.
"You know, it's strange. I have the memories from when I first met Buffy without Dawn, and when I met Buffy with Dawn. Part of my mind tells me that Dawn really was there, but then the other half is like no, that didn't really happen. But from what I've been told. She was only actually here for a few months before Joyce died."
"Yeah" Spike said. "Hey look, we're entering Louisiana."
It was about three in the morning now, they would have to stop at a motel soon so Spike wouldn't turn into sawdust. Spike was quietly wishing that he would have another vision that had to do with Buffy.
But, both Spike and Xander were in for a shock.
A/N: What could be happening? You probably thought that they would find her in Florida but the plot is about to twist! Or al least I think it is lol!
