Letter 2.

Red

It was great to get to the Days Inn and find that letter waiting for me; it didn't half make me laugh. You got a great sense of humour. Plus it gave me something to do for the day other than watch daytime soaps- in Mexican!!! Now I can speak several demon and human languages but I don't reckon I'll ever get Mexican but it's close to Spanish so I can make myself understood. That or punch 'em till I get what I want. Stupid sods anyway. Glad it all worked out for ya, you didn't need the damn Mutt anyway- probably give you fleas. The stupid kid is blind if he was in this we-hate-Cordelia club and now he's dating her- once a stuck up bitch always a stuck up bitch. My advice is to ignore him and soon he'll see what he's missing. Actually I'd probably just rip his throat out but I guess that might not work for you. Met up with a Fyarl demon the other day he had some news about snow in California? Sounds neat, any idea how that happened? Don't knock yourself and your witchy powers, it takes a while to get them up and running so it's ok if it takes a while, if you got the gift it'll come- just keep practising. On that note can you be both Jewish and Wicca? And what does that do for celebrating Christmas? I don't usually do much for Christmas, me and Dru used to stay up and have an all night Buffet of drunken carol singers and fat gits who come home late from costume parties drunk and full of mince pies. It was a riot. Not much point on my own. I might go to a party later though. My next stop is the Hotel Palacio de Sol. In Av. Independencia #116, Chihuahua, Mexico 3100. I can't believe I'm staying in a place named after an annoying little dog.

Spike.

Willow hid a grin as she put the letter back in her notebook and continued to listen to Mr Blake moan about single celled organisms and the origin of life. She hadn't expected the letter, having thought that replying to Spike would have put an end to whatever it was but the post had arrived just as she'd been leaving this morning addressed to Red. She was going to wait until a free to read it but Mr Blake had been droning on so long. Xander was practically asleep on the table and even Buffy's eyes were drooping. Everyone was preoccupied with looking awake if not actually being so. So Willow took the letter out and had a read, he was sweet and he made her laugh. She'd nearly laughed aloud at the flea's part. She cast her eyes over to where Oz sat with Amy holding hands talking softly to each other and smiled again. The bell rang and she made her way to the library. Giles had been talking about a demon to Buffy so Willow slipped out her notepad and started writing.

Hey Spike.

I can just imagine you sitting in a motel room swearing at the T.V at a Mexican soap opera. It's a funny image. I have started to learn Latin and Gaelic because most of the prophecies we deal with are in those two languages, I'd love to learn more like Giles, he knows loads of languages both archaic and demonic. I laughed about what you said about Oz and fleas; he is officially dating Amy now, the witch? They are happy so that's cool. I took your advice and ignored Xander for a few days, it worked like a charm he came over and we talked it all out and now we are back to being best friends which annoys Cordelia- which is great! I get my best friend back and I get to annoy Cordy! Yeah it did snow in Sunnydale. Apparently the First evil wanted Angelus back or for him to kill Buffy so they did some mojo to get him to try to kill himself; he waited for the sun but the Powers made it snow so no sun, therefore no poof! It was nice to see the snow, a first for me. I never thought about the whole Jewish/Wicca thing and now I'm confused! Thanks for that. The new Slayer isn't too happy about Angel still being around but never mind, and there's a new girl at school who gives me the creeps her name is Anya. She's part of the Cordelia circle and seems too nice for them, but she just doesn't seem to fit, maybe I'm just being paranoid living on the Hellmouth. So you're going to a costume party, what as? The last time I got all dressed up was for Culture day in an authentic Eskimo (Inuit) costume, I did research for it and everything. But everyone else was dressed in sexy stuff, outclassed again!

Have fun in Mexico.

Willow

P.S you do know that Hotel Palacio de Sol means Palace of the sun… right? Are you doing this on purpose?

"Whatcha doing Wills?" Buffy bounced over as Willow finished her letter and slipped it into her notebook.

"Just research for class." Willow lied with feelings of guilt for lying to her best friend in the world.

"We Bronzing tonight?" Buffy asked and then groaned as if remembering "After I patrol?"

"Sure thing." Willow slipped her notepad into her bag; she could pick up some stamps and post the letter tomorrow.
