Goodbye, Part 2

Spike didn't sleep a wink that night neither did Xander. All night they wondered where Buffy was and what made her leave them. When morning came Harmony told Spike that she was taking a cab to the closest airport and going home. Spike didn't seem to care when she left. Xander and Spike packed up the car. They were hesitating to leave the hotel, afraid that Buffy will show up any minute. Around 11 A.M they were back on the road.

The ride to Denver was quiet. Spike looked at each rest stop they pasted to see if their was a sign of Buffy but he had no luck.

Xander: (To Spike) You want something to eat?

Spike: (Sighs) I don't care...I don't...

Xander: Well I'm getting a burger up here at McDonald's you sure you don't want anything?

Spike: Nothing.

Xander: Alright.

(Xander parked the car)

Xander: I'll be right back got to use the restroom too.

(Spike just sat there in his seat and stared off into space)

Spike: Why'd you leave luv? (Softer) Why'd you leave me?

Fade to later...Spike and Xander are driving. Spike is driving this time. Spike pulls over and stops the car but doesn't turn off the engine.

Xander: What?

Spike: (Turns to Xander) Let's go home.

Xander: WHAT?!

Spike: What's the point of going on this trip if were not enjoying it. Lets just go back to New York.

Xander: What about the car?!

Spike: Ditch it. (Xander was a little shocked) When we get to Denver lets take a flight back.

Xander: Are you serious?!

Spike: Yeah.

Xander: I can't believe you...we come all this way and now you want to quit.

Spike: I just wan to go home.

Xander: Fine...fine...I'll drop you off in Denver and you can go.

Spike: You're not coming.

Xander: Nope. I want to do this trip and I'm finishing it WITH or WITHOUT you.

Spike: Fine.

(Spike started the engine and kept traveling)

Denver International Airport:

(Spike took his stuff out of the car and got ready to go.)

Spike: You're crazy. You went to actually go all the way to the Pacific and then drive back by yourself.

Xander: You're the crazy one...

(Spike shuts the door but Xander rolls down the window)

Spike: Let's just say this is my one crazy thing I did this summer...

Xander: (Shakes his head) Nuh...this is just the one dumb thing you did this summer...but hey...summers no over yet.

Spike: See you in...few weeks?

Xander: I'll call when I'm sitting on the beach drinking a beer with beautiful woman.

Spike: (Laughs) Yeah...right.

Xander: Take care.

Spike: See yeah Welp.

Xander: See yeah Captain Peroxide.

(They both took there separate directions. Spike entered the airport and Xander took off down the road)
