- Last Chapter –
"I'll come back over in a few hours, seeing how it's almost day light"
"A'ight" was my reply.
And with that, she turned back around, opened the door, and stepped out of my crypt, and into the outside world, where anything could get at her like the Varlarks today.
"See you in a few hours..." I mumbled mostly to myself as I turned around and headed back to my chair as the door closed with a click.
And I was left alone in the dark again.
- An alien stole out car? -
"Oh! I love this song!" Dawn exclaimed while reaching over to the radio and turned up the volume dial.
Spike looked over to her, black blanket tossed over his head, even though his side of the windshield was painted completely black, and he raised an eyebrow before leaning his head back and closed his eyes.
-Went back home again,
This sucks, gotta pack up and leave again
Say goodbye to all my friends,
Can't say when I'll be there again
It's time now to turn around
Turn my back on everything
Turn my back on everything
Yeah-
His bright blue eyes opened back up as he looked over to her with a questioning look.
She was singing.
And she was singing pretty damn well.
Hitting every note perfectly as far as he could tell, seeing how he couldn't hear a single beat being missed from the radio.
-Everything's changing when I turn around,
All out of my control,
I'm a mobile
Everything's changing when I turn around,
All out of my control,
I'm a mobile.
Ouhh yea-
She wasn't looking at him as she leaned foreword in the seat to see if any car's were coming from her side before she moved the car foreword again and onto the freeway, all the time still singing to the song.
Spike couldn't help but let a small smirk appear on the corners of his lips as he leaned his head back on the seat and closed his eyes again.
-Start back at this life,
Stretch myself back into the vibe
I'm waking up to say I've tried,
Instead of waking up to another T.V Guide
It's time now to turn around
Turn and walk on this crazy ground...-
'Did she take singing lessons or something?' Spike thought while opening his eyes again and straightened in the seat while looking over to her. 'Don't remember her singing before..."
Dawn looked back over to him and gave him a smile while continuing to drive on.
'Well maybe if you stuck around you could have found out...' Spike thought coldly to himself and let out a sigh.
-Everything's changing when I turn around,
All out of my control,
I'm a mobile
Everything's changing out of what I know,
Everywhere I go,
I'm a mobile.
I'm a mobile.-
She had started moving her head along with the music while glancing over to him with her warm smiles while continuing to sing.
"This is going to be a LONG trip..." Spike mumbled under the music.
-Hanging from the ceiling
Life's a mobile
Spinning 'round with mixed feelings
Crazy and wild
Sometimes I wanna scream out loud-
There was a break in the song for the guitar playing and Dawn continued to dance a little in the car, glancing over to spike to see him smirking and she laughed slightly but didn't get embarrassed.
She just continued doing it.
'It will be a long trip...but certainly not enjoyable...' he thinks again with a smug look.
-Everything's changing everywhere I go
All out of my control
Everything's changing everywhere I go
Out of what I know
Yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la...
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la...
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la...
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la...-
Spike kept on watching her as she sang, dance AND drove!
Talk about multitasking...
Of course, he's done that before...
But no one needed to know of THAT now did they?
-Everything's changing when I turn around,
All out of my control,
I'm a mobile
Everything's changing out of what I know,
Everywhere I go,
I'm a mobile.-
Her green eyes glazed back over to him for a brief second before back to the road.
Had he really been starring that long?
The vampire blinked and looked away, starring at the black paint on the windshield in GREAT interest.
-Everywhere I go
I'm a mobile-
She reached over and turned the volume back down before glancing to him then the road.
"Am I THAT bad?" she asked with a smirk.
Spike's head snapped back over to her and his eyebrows knitted together.
"What?"
"My singing" she laughed slightly. "You were looking at me funny"
"Oh, no, not that..."
She nodded while keeping her eyes on the road before he spoke again.
"Did...you get singing lessons?"
Dawn laughed. "I wish!"
His eyebrow rose and a smirk came to his face again. "Don't remember singing before..."
Dawn glanced at him with a small sigh. "Yeah well, you probably wouldn't have noticed anyways..."
"What does-"
"All those times you were after my sister..."
That struck Spike hard and he opened his mouth to protest but she wasn't finished.
"And don't try denying it Spike; I know if I were you I wouldn't be paying attention to my love's little sister..."
"Dawn..."
She shook her head and looked at him with a small smile.
"No problem okay?"
The car started to slow down and Spike started thinking that she was going to pull over or something.
He looked at her with a puzzled look.
In which she had returned.
That's not good...
He watched her as she quickly turned the steering wheel to get off the road before the car stopped completely.
"I think there's a problem now..." she said, looking over to him with a sheepish smile.
"What-"
"Out of gas..."
Spike starred at her before shutting his eyes and swore. "Aw fuck!"
Click
He looked over and was met with blinding light.
"Hey! Watch it!" he yelled, throwing the blanket over himself as the car door slammed shut.
He peered out of his blanket and to the spot he had not painted for Dawn to see.
She was standing there, hands in the back pockets of her low ride jeans, starring out before she turned and looked back at him through the windshield.
"Are we in Sunnydale?" Spike yelled for her to hear.
Her brown head shook gently before he saw her sighing.
"Oh Bugger!" he growled.
She opened the car door and got back inside, ignoring Spike's shouts about the sunlight.
He lowered the blanket and looked over to her.
"Where there any buildings near by?"
"There's a gas station about 30 feet off..."
"Well that's good..."
"I can't push the car that far!" Dawn said, looking over to him.
"Alright, alright...we'll walk over there and just leave the car here..."
"Want me to just go?" Dawn asked.
"Nah...need to stretch my legs a little..." he glanced over to the window. "Maybe run a little..."
Dawn smiled slightly.
"Alright, you have a gas can in the trunk?"
"Er...was I supposed to?"
Dawn sighed, letting her forehead rest on the steering wheel. "Alright, I guess we could ask them to help us push it over..."
He nodded before opening the car door with the blanket over his head, as Dawn got out from the other side.
Spike looked around, seeing a VERY dirty gas station stand, not so tall, a little ways away.
"Right...bet the bloody gas isn't even good..." he mumbled as he followed her over to it.

A few short minutes later and they were finally in the small store.
Spike pulled the blanket off and sighed, watching some smoke rise off from his skin.
"Bugger..."
He looked up to see the woman with a mullet behind the counter looking at him oddly.
"I got...extreme...skin cancer?"
She simply nodded slightly before he walked over as Dawn looked around the tiny store, seeing a bunch of couples picking up some snacks, or standing outside having a smoke.
She looked out the dirty window to see a large bus parked there.
"Alright people! We're going to stop here for 10 minutes; the woman's bathroom is broken but the men's works fine..."
Her green eyes snapped over to a brown haired man who just walked in, having a little 'too' much enthusiasm she thought.
The sounds of groaning filled her ears as people started to head towards the men's bathroom.
"Hey"
Dawn snapped her head over to Spike who was still smoking slightly.
"The lady said that two people will help push the car over" he informed and she nodded.
"You stay here and..." her eyes looked up him and down, "cool off, I'll go with them"
"You sure? They don't really look that...trustable..." Spike mumbled in her ear and she looked behind him to see two men stand by the door waiting for them; both had visible dirt on their faces, and a scowl to match.
She looked back up to him and nodded slightly. "I'll be fine"
Brushing past him, she walked over to them and said hi before turning back to him and waved slightly, then left the tiny store.
"Sorry for bothering you, it's just, he has this...skin condition and I can't push it by myself..." Dawn explained with a smile to the two men.
"Naw, it's fine, we's don't get much business around here's anyways" the larger one said with a near toothless grin.
"Yeah! It's out pleasure ma'am!" the other one piped up with another toothless grin.
"Well, thank you" Dawn said with another smile.
"Er...where did you say your car was?" the larger one spoke.
"Huh? Oh it should be..." she turned her head, only to be faced with nothing.
"Right...here..."
"Oh...Frank! It happened again!" the smaller one cooed with wide eyes.
"What?" Dawn asked.
The larger one looked at her with a scared look. "There's been missing car's going on around here lately...they says it's an alien!"
Dawn let out a sigh. "Nah...It probably was just some loser's stealing cars...crap..." she muttered bitterly under her breath.
She turned around and ran her fingers roughly through her hair.
Great...
Now what?
"Sorry Ma'am..." the smaller one, Frank, piped up with a bow of his head.
She shook her head. "It's not you're fault...you guys have a phone in the store right?" she asked and they both nodded.
She smiled. "Alright then"
And they began to head back to the gas station.
Once they were in there, Spike walked up to her.
"Where's the car?"
She looked at him. "Stolen"
"What?!"
"Don't worry, they have a phone here, I'm going to call a friend to come pick us up" she explained before heading towards the back.
She placed her quarter in and began dialing Jack's cellphone.
"Come on...pick up..."
"Hi, you have reached Jack's cell...I'm not here-"
She hung up the phone and sighed.
"Damnit"
"Something the matter dear?"
Dawn looked over to her left to see an elderly woman stand there, with white hair and a plump figure.
"Oh...no..."
"That's good!" she smiled before walking away.
"Wait! I mean, you're on that bus right?"
She turned back around and nodded with the same smile.
"Where is it heading?" Dawn asked.
"Oh well...many places really...It's traveling through California...we're headed to Los Angeles next"
Dawn's face brightened.
"This is me and Hubert's fifth time on the anniversary bus..."
"A-anniversary?"
"Well yes dear! What else?"
"Okay...thank you"
"Oh no problem..." she smiled before walking away again.
Dawn sighed while looking over to Spike.
Great, what were they going to do?
She continued looking at him, racking her brain to figure out what to do.
Her green eyes looked over to the window, seeing the bus standing out there, some people, mostly seniors, board onto it.
Dawn continued watching them before smirking.
