Buffy tossed in her sleep as the scene of Spike dying in the Hellmouth
replayed in her head over and over again. She woke with a start and looked
at the digital clock by the bed, 4:35 AM. "Great." She muttered. She had
woken up sad and with very little patience this morning. She got out of bed
and walked into the tiny bathroom that was attached to the room. She
showered and redressed in her clothes. She left the bathroom to find Faith
awake sitting on the bed. She looked so far away in her thoughts.
The she came back to earth and said, "Hey."
"Morning." Buffy said siting on the edge of the bed. Someone knocked on the door and Buffy went to open it. "Morning Giles."
"Hey." Said Faith again.
"Good morning." He said to both of them he came in and sat on the chair in the corner. Buffy sat back on the edge of the bed. "I've checked with the airlines and the two flights closest to now are tomorrow at 9:00 AM and three weeks from now. It's up to you and Faith what you think the best time to go would be."
"I think we should take the one tomorrow morning." Said Faith.
"Yeah, the faster we get there the faster we can train watchers and slayers and stuff."
"And the better I do believe myself."
"We'll wake up the rest of the slayers. Meeting here in an hour." Said Buffy.
"Yes, should I wake Xander?"
"Yeah, scoobies should talk about this first."
"Alright I'll be back." Giles left to wake Xander. Buffy walked over to Willow on the other bed. She gently shook her friend awake.
"Get up Will. We're having a scoobie meeting." Willow rolled onto her back.
"What time is it?" she asked.
"5:30."
"Can Kennedy stay?"
"Sure. Wake her up though. We'll have to make her an official scoobie."
"Ok." Willow turned toward her lover. "Kennedy. Baby, wake up."
"Mmm..." Kennedy moaned tiredly. She rolled toward Willow and caught her lips with hers. Willow closed her eyes and returned the kiss and when it ended she smiled.
"Morning." Whispered Willow.
"Morning." Whispered Kennedy. They got out of the bed and sat with Faith just as Xander and Giles came in. Giles sat back in the chair and Xander sat with his back to the wall next to Faith and the bed. Buffy shook Dawn.
"Dawn, wake up. Scoobiage afoot." She said. Dawn stirred and opened her eyes.
"I can tell it's early. Why are you waking me up this early?"
"Scoobiage afoot." Buffy repeated.
"Okay." Dawn
"So what's the scoobiage about?" he asked the sleep still a bit evident in his voice.
"Scoobiage... I should go." Said Kennedy sourly.
"About when we're going to England. You stay. When we get to England we have to get rings or something that make us official scoobies." Said Willow.
"That's a rather good idea." Said Giles.
"Get S's carved in them." Said Faith.
"Ok, so Tomorrow or three weeks from now?" asked Buffy.
"Tomorrow." Said Xander, Willow and Dawn.
"Yeah." Said Faith.
"I think the faster the better." Said Kennedy. "Willow did you tell them about that cool spell you found?"
"Yeah." Said Willow.
"Alright. We're settled on tomorrow?" asked Giles. Everyone nodded.
~*~*~*An hour later*~*~*~
Everyone crowded around Buffy Faith and Giles. Giles sat in the chair once again and Buffy and Faith sat on the arms on either side. "We've decided when we're to go to England." Said Giles.
"We're gonna fly there tomorrow at 9:00 AM." Said Faith.
"Why so early?" asked one of the slayers.
"I don't want to leave yet!" said another.
"Yeah!" another.
"It's not up for discussion." Buffy said Firmly.
"But, that's not fair."
"I said it wasn't up for discussion." Buffy walked out of the room and out of the building into the L.A sun. Faith followed her out.
"B! Wait up!" she said running to catch up with the brisk pace at which Buffy was walking. "Slow down." Buffy slowed to a normal walk.
"What?" she asked.
"No need to get pissy I just wanted to know what's up."
"Nothing's up."
"Buffy the look on your face tells me differently."
"It's nothing Fay, I'll be fine."
"Ok." They walked around L.A in comfortable silence for hours and the finally found themselves back at the hotel. Everyone spent the rest of the day in their rooms in groups talking.
The she came back to earth and said, "Hey."
