Lonely Night
Spike entered his dark apartment with luggage bags around 11pm. He flicked on the lights and looked inside his large and well decorated apartment. He of course didn't decorate it himself, Harmony did. Spike checked his answering machine and saw "47" blinking. He ignored the messages and opened his kitchen pantry and saw nothing that he could make quickly. Then he looked in the frig and saw only some backing soda, a few cans of beer, and some of Harmony yogurt that was now expired. He threw away the yogurt and walked into his living room, which has big picture windows that looks over the city and has a great view of Central Park. Spike just stood by the window and for a long time him though about everything-his job, Harmony, Xander, the road trip. His thoughts finally drifted to Buffy. 'Is she alright?' 'Why'd she go?' 'Where is she?' 'Did she get to California or go home?' 'Does she know I love her?' 'Does she love me?' Suddenly Spike stopped thinking and sat in his comfortable leather couch and just stared into space. As he sat Buffy walked in front of him and sat across from him and smiled. He smiled back.
Spike: (To Buffy) You know I love you?
(Buffy didn't answer)
Spike: You're the only girl I ever loved.
(Buffy still doesn't reply)
Spike: (Looks at her questionable) Am I dreaming or are you real?
Buffy: (Whispering) I'm not here.
Spike: (Softly) Where'd you go?
(Buffy didn't answer.)
Spike snapped out of his daydream. He looked around and found himself alone. He looked down at his hands and then back up and got up and went to this bedroom to sleep.
Somewhere in Utah...
Xander is driving on a lonely road around 8pm his time. He's fiddling wit the radio knobs and finally picked an easy listening song, 'Lyin' Eyes' by the Eagles. He looks over to his side window and sees the scenery slightly from the glare of the moonlight. It was the perfect moment when the singer sang "And stares out at the stars up in the sky. Another night, it's gonna be a long one..." Xander kept driving and then loneliness got to his imagination. Buffy lean forward between the passenger and drivers seat and just sat there.
Buffy: I love this song.
(Silence so they can listen to the song)
Spike: Maybe when we drive into California we can listen to California Hotel luv.
(Xander turned his head and saw Spike in the passenger seat. Buffy laughed at Spike's little joke.)
Xander kept driving and looking in front of the road with a smile. Suddenly the laughter stopped and he looked to his side and saw no one in his car. His daydream felt so real he thought. Xander thought that it was the song that made him act a little wacko but then he concluded 'I just miss my two friends'.
Bus Stop...
A bus pulled up to the curb at the bus stop and a few people get off and one was Buffy. Her hair's in a ponytail and she looked tired. She took her bag in hand and started walking. The bus pulled away and it passed the "Welcome to Los Angeles" sign. Buffy walked to streets of L.A and saw all different things and people that were late at night. She checked into a cheap motel so she can get off the dangerous streets. In Buffy's hotel room she didn't have much. There was a small bathroom, a TV chained to a table, and an uncomfortable bed. It didn't matter to Buffy; she wasn't sleepy, because she mostly slept on the bus. Buffy just sat in the only comfortable piece of furniture in the room, a chair facing the window.
The song 'Lyin' Eyes continues.
She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry
She wonders how it ever got this crazy
She thinks about a boy she knew in school
Did she get tired or did she just get lazy?
She's so far gone she feels just like a fool My, oh my, you sure know how to arrange things
You set it up so well, so carefully
Ain't it funny how your new life didn't change things
You're still the same old girl you used to be
(Cut to Xander checking into a motel for the night.)
You can't hide your lyin eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
(Cut to Spike sitting in his bed wide awake, staring at the ceiling and thinking.)
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
(Cut to Buffy looking out her window. The shot is from the streets of L.A.)
Honey, you can't hide your lyin' eyes
