Chapter 2

Giles sat at the front of the bus, in the drivers seat, while Wood sat

with Faith. No one really knew where they were going, but no one botherd

to ask.

"So Giles, you have any idea as to where your taking us?" asked Willow,

walking up to the front.

"Um, actually.. um.. no, I'm afraid I don't" he answerd.

"Thats what I thought" Willow said walking back to the back.

"He doesn't know!" She said to the slayers as she sat down next to

Kennedy.

Giles looked in the mirror above his head, and smiled, then saw Buffy

walking up to the front.

"The first phone booth you see, pull over. I need to call someone" Buffy

said leaning over his sholder.

"Angel?"

"Yeah I feel like I owe it to him to call and give him a heads up....

since I-"

"Sent him home? Buffy you did the right thing, if we hadn't won...

sending Angel back was the right thing to do. I'm proud of you"

Buffy smiled in agreement, she was proud of herself too.

Just then they spead past a phone booth, which Giles didn't notice.

"PHONE BOOTH!" Buffy yelled,pointing at it as it sailed by.

Giles put his foot down on the brink quickly, sending slayers down the

aisle.

"THATS WHY YOU SHOULD NOT BE STANDING UP WHILE THE BUS IS IN

MOTION!!!!!!"Giles yelled waving is finger, looking in the mirror.

Buffy jumped out of her seat and waited for Giles to open the door.

"Giles!, door"

"Oh.. sorry", he pressed the button

Buffy jumped off the bus and ran a little to the phone. She dug through

her pockets, searching for some coins.

"Ha!", she pulled out two quaters, put them in the machine and

dialed 0.

"Operator"

"Um.. yes can you connect me to Angel investegasions"

"One moment, please"

There was a "click" sound, then someone picked up the phone.

"Hello, Angel investigasions, this is Alyson, how may I help

you?"

"Um yeah, can I speak to Angel, please"

"Hold on while I direct your call to his office"

Angel sits in his chair, turned towards the non coverd window. He had a

sweet smile on, and was basking in the suns light. Just then phone rang,

he turned his chair to face his messy desk and picked up the phone.

"Hello?" he said sitting up

"Angel?" Buffy asked, surprised

"Buffy, it's good to hear your voice again, how are you?"

"Good, tired,you?" She asked leaning up against the phone's

side

"Never felt better"

"Well I'd thought i should call you a tell you whats up -"

"Seeing as theres no havoc and mayham around here, I'd say we

won" he said turning back towards the window.

"And you are right!" Buffy answerd with a smile, she tunerd to

face the bus ,but then saw Dawn, Willow and Xander making kissy faces

through the window, to Buffy.

"How'd many we loose?" He asked, his voice different then

before

"Three, Anya, Amanda and....."

"Spike-"

"How'd you know?" Buffy asked turning back to the phone

"Your voice" He said, simply

"Oh, well I'd better go, the girls seem to be getting hun-"

"I wanna see you! bring 'em here, we have food, rooms, cable."

Buffy laughed, "I don't know, theres a lot of 'em"

"It's a big place, come on" Angel pleaded

"Alright but don't say I didn't warn you. Oh and another thing" Buffy

added

"Yeah?"

"How many bathrooms do you have?"

"20"

"Good I'll see you soon"

"You too, Bye" Angel said sitting up again

"Bye." Buffy hung up the phone and ran back on the bus.

"We're going to L.A" she told Giles

Giles nodded and started the bus up.

He drove for about an hour and half before the could see a few tall

buildings. Buffy looked out the front window.

"I hope Angel is right about this. Giles pull the bus over I wanna talk

to the girls." Buffy said standing in the aisle.

Giles, purposely, hit the brakes really hard, to invesize what he stated

earlier, but Buffy, with her slayer strengh, grab hold of the back part

of the seat and held on, tight.

"Why are we stopping?" A slayer yelled.

"I need to tell you whats going to happen," Buffy said

looking towards the back. "We're going to be

staying

with a friend of mine, in L.A. Now I want all of you to be on your best

behavor and try not to get in any trouble while we're here, Okay?"

Buffy asked

Everyone in unison answered, "Okay"

"Good"

Andrew rasied his hand.

"Yes, Andrew?, what is it now?" Buffy asked, anoyed

"U... I was wondering um.. by any chance do they have the

Stars Wars trliogy on DVD?

Buffy looked at him, very anoyed.

"Any other questions?" Buffy asked looking over the bus.

Andrew sadly lowered his head. Xander raised his hand, Buffy pointed to

him.

"Um. yeah, by any chance do we know this person?" Xander asked, knowing

who it was.

"Yeah, we're stay with Angel until-"

"How did I know that?"

Buffy looked at Xander somewhat angery.

"Untill we find somewhere else. That all the questions?"

Andrew raised his hand again.

"Anymore important questions?"

No one raised their hand.

"Alright then. Giles, full speed ahead"
