Wide Load

Harmony, Spike, Buffy, and Xander were in the car driving. Xander and Buffy look annoyed by Harmony being there. Spike didn't show or say anything about Harmony being there. Harmony was happy and fussing around the car.

Harmony: This car is nice...is it new?

Xander: No Harm...it's the same old car I had for three years.

Harmony: (To Buffy) So Betty tell me more about yourself.

Xander: It's Buffy, Harmony.

Harmony: Oh sorry...How did the three of you guys meet?

Buffy: I'm heading to California.

Harmony: Oh! Are you an actress?! My friend Cordy is trying to make it big in L.A...even though I think she's wasting her time.

Buffy: Umm...no. I'm just going there to start fresh. Sort of a new life.

Harmony: Oh...so what city are we going to next Spikey?

Spike: Huh? (Takes his eyes off the side window) Oh...Denver I think.

Harmony: Great we can stay at my uncle's cabin it's beautiful.

Spike: I guess we could. Xander? (Looks over to Xander who rolls his eyes)

Xander: I guess.

Harmony: Great! (To Buffy) Do you ski?

Buffy: No.

Harmony: Well don't worry Spike will teach you...my Blondie Bear is a natural.

Buffy: (Raises an eyebrow) Blondie Bear?

Harmony: That's my nickname for him. (Harmony smiles. Buffy just turns and looks out the window)

Spike: Harm it's summer...there is no snow.

Harmony: Oh yeah...too bad.

Gas Station...

Xander is pumping gas and Buffy and Harmony were in the ladies room. Spike came back from the men's room and was about to go in the car when Xander stops him.

Xander: Hold on there...BUDDY.

Spike: What?

Xander: What is Harmony doing on our trip?

Spike: She wanted to come along.

Xander: Spike...she's your EX!

Spike: So... (Gets into the car before Xander could say another word)

(Buffy and Harmony come back)

Harmony: That bathroom was disguising!!

(Harmony gets into the car. Buffy and Xander share a look before they got into the car and took off)

Few Hours later...

Harmony is snoring in the back and Xander is sleeping in the back too. Spike is driving and Buffy is sitting next to him on the passenger side.

Spike: (Yawns) Looks like the suns rising.

Buffy: Yeah. (Takes her hand off her head and looks around at the scenery) It's so beautiful.

For miles they both could see farm land. Spike stopped the car to the side of the road.

Buffy: (Looks at Spike) Why'd you stop?

Spike: Just needed a break from Harm's snoring. (Spike gets out of the car and so does Buffy. They went to the front of the car and leaned on the car hood)

Spike: (Softly) Buffy?

Buffy: (Softly too) Yeah?

Spike: (Looks at her for a moment then turns away) Nothing.

Buffy: Okay. (Looks at the scenery again)

Spike: Wait...it is something. (Buffy looks at him again) I didn't invite Harmony you know that right?

Buffy: You didn't?

Spike: No...she...I really don't know why I let he come along.

Buffy: Well...what are you going to do?

Spike: I'll talk to her...try to get her to go back to New York. Xander is REALLY ticked that she's here.

Buffy: (Smiles) I know. (Spike smiles too when he sees her smile)

Spike: (Sighs) Hopefully she won't put up a fight. (Spike turned and went into the car followed by Buffy)

Later that night...Buffy exits her hotel room and runs into Xander.

Xander: Hey.

Buffy: (Smiles) Hey. Where's Spike?

Xander: Talking to Harmony in the lounge. (Rolls his eyes)

Buffy: (Giggles at Xander's eyes rolling) Oh...

(Xander goes and enters his room and Buffy walks into the lounge and scans the tables and finds Harmony and Spike kissing. Buffy's look on her face is total shock)
