Here's the next chappie enjoy.

"Giles punch I punch Can't punch Fight punch Glory punch punch" Buffy said between breaths and her workout.

"Well, you very well never know if you keep running from her. She's a God Buffy, A Hell God and she's going to find us and if your to blind to see it, then I fear for Dawn's safety" Giles said angrily holding up her punching bag.

"What do you want me to do Kick apparently Punch she cant be killed Double Punch unless we find her Kick human host Kick" Buffy lands a roundhouse kick, knocking the air out of Giles "And no one seems to know who it could bePunch, or has even a little lead Kick"

"And pessimism is getting you no were" Buffy Triple kicks the bag sending Giles to the floor "And I believe these are only for punching". He stated bitterly as he picked himself up off the floor.

"I'm doing the best I can" Buffy said sadly. Her chest heaving from her extensive workout the past hour and a half.

"Are you really?" Giles questioned. Buffy raised her eyes to his. "Do you really think your doing your best?"

"Yes, I do" Buffy bit back angrily "Do you want me to go take Spike, Angel and go fight this Hell God and die, would that make you happy." she raised her voice. "Would That make you finally proud of me!"

"Iv always been proud of you Buffy" Giles took a deep breath to stop his yelling. "But running away without even a destination in mind is pointless, Don't you think".

"We have a destination Giles" Buffy stated as she picked up a workout towel and ran it down her face.

"Oh?"

"England, The Council" Buffy Replied as if it was obvious

"Have you gone daft. There not going to help us, Especially not with a Witch, the Key, And Two Vampires" Giles said bewildered.

"Seer, X-vengence demon, Slayer, Two watchers..." Giles looked at her in confusion. "You forgot the Seer, X-vengence demon, Slayer, you and Wes".

"Well thank goodness we didn't pick up Faith, then we'd have two slayers on our bus" Giles said sarcastically. "Doesn't change the fact that there not going to help us, not when it risks bringing Glory to them"

Buffy stared up at Giles a single tear slipping down her face, the only tear she had actually cried sense this whole nightmare began. "Do you have a better Idea". Giles thought for a moment.

"As a matter of fact, I do"

"Bloody Hell, how on earth did you win this time nib lit"

"Easy Spike, Iv played longer then you have." Dawn replied smiling.

"Not possible, Im older then you, By a century at least" Dawn just laughed at his comeback.

"And you picked up this game how many times in your lifetime?" Dawn shot back.

"Not the point Luv"

"Oh totally the point, hence my winning" Dawn smiled "Now are you ganna buy park place or are you broke?" Dawn asked exasperated.

"I'm bloody well thinking" Spike looked down at the meager monopoly money he had left. "Bloody women and my money" He whispered under his breath.

"What are they doing?" Xander asked.

"Playing a game I brought, the one with all the money and you have to buy stuff, and you can be banker" Xander rolled his eyes at his girlfriend.

"Monopoly" Xander stated, he should have known.

"Snacks and games are a necessity for traveling" Anya bit out brightly.

"So Iv heard" Xander replied.

"Cards" Fred asked.

"What?" Xander looked up at the new girl, and Anya glared at her thinking she was after Xander.

"Cards, you wanna play, There's only 51 in the deck because Wes used 52 to kill this demon once, it had a gambling problem..." Fred started to explain.

"Sure" Xander replied, already sick of the entire trip, literally, to begin with.

"Egyptian War?" Fred supplied "Anya, would you like to play" Anya's hatred for the girl left immediately.

"Yes, how do you play?"

"I'll teach you, its easy" Fred laughed, scooting closer to the x-demon to show her how to play.

"That License plate was not from Indiana" Cordy protested.
"Yes it was, your just upset that Im in the I's and you still on J's" Wes shot back.

"Doesn't help when you claimed the only Jersey License plate on this god forsaken road of lets hate Cordy" She whined back.

"Yes well, Im sure more then one person lives in the state of Jersey so your theory is rather incorrect" Wes stated matter of factly. Cordy Scoffed.

"Lets play a different game, we've been playing this one for over two hours" Cordy suggested.

"You just wanna switch because Im finally winning" Wes shot back amused.

"No, just tired at looking at license plates"

"Fine, what do you want to play"

"ABC's on Road signs" She bounced happily.

"Your kidding right?" Wes asked.

"Do you have a better suggestion?" Cordy Shot back.

"No I suppose I don't, how do you play"

"You find a road sign, and if it has the letter A in it you call it, same concept with the license plate game only with road signs" Cordy said Brightly

"Cordelia, there hasn't been a road sign for over 3 miles" Wes sighed.

"Makes the game anticipatory then" Cordy supplied happily.

"Anticipatory isn't a real word" Wes Corrected.

"And you care because..."

"Right...A, Airport sign" Wes called out quickly.

"Not Fair, you cheated, you distracted me!" Cordy Yelled. Spike laughed at them.

"Did not!" Wes yelled back.

"Are they always like that, yelling at each other?" Anya asked Fred.

"Uh-huh" Fred supplied slapping Xander's jack and taking the stack.

"Hey! that was my last jack" Xander whined.

"Honey you only had one jack" Anya patted his arm.

"My point exactly!"

"They fight like Xander and her used to" Dawn said.

"What" Anya asked, Fred looked curious.

"They,Wes and Cordy, Fight like, Xander and Cordy back in high school used to"

"Oh" Anya replied throwing down her king.

"Are you broom closet man?" Fred asked Xander Shyly. Xander hit his head on the table.

"Will I ever live that down" He mumbled into his arms.

"HEY, you cannot steal from the banker!" Dawn yelled trying to grab the monopoly money that Spike stole back.

"I'm a Vampire love, I can do whatever I want" Spike leered at Dawn up and down "Whoever I want" he said more quietly. Dawn hit him in the arm.

"Dream On" She. Rolled her eyes.

"Luv, I dream about it all the time" He said a serious expression on his face. Dawn blushed a deep red. "17, almost legal" he continued.

"WHAT!" Xander jumped up ready to pummel Spike.

"She asked me for a cigarette Zeppo, I told her no she asked me why, I said she wasn't 18, 17 almost legal. Open your ears Moron" Spike shot back in a quick cover up.

"Oh, and why don't you just give her one, it's not like you have morals" Xander yelled back.

"Because women smoking isn't attractive" Spike said as if it was obvious.

"It's bad for you to. Can kill you" Anya stated still focusing on her card game with Fred.

"That information would have helped me back when I was alive pet" Spike said amused.

"She was saying it for Dawn's benefit" Xander defended. Then he turned to Dawn. "And why would you want to smoke anyway?" He asked glaring at her.

"Teenage curiosity Xander, Why else." She bit back, Angry that he interfered with her life yet again.

"Right" Spike got up. "I'm ganna head to bed now then, Suns coming up"

"Good" Xander huffed "She doesn't need your bad influence"

"I like his influence" Dawn whispered bitterly, but no one but Spike seemed to hear her.

"Night nib lit" Spike said as he slid the privacy curtain to his chosen cot shut.

" You want to take us to the outskirts of no were!" Buffy reprimanded "You might as well say Antarctica" She was pacing around the room.

"I hardly believe that Australia is the outskirts of no were" Giles replied while cleaning his glasses.

"No, your right, there's plenty of no weres IN Australia!" Buffy said even more angry.

"Look we take a plane from New York to England, get on another plane from England to Nigeria, and Catch a Cruse ship to Australia. Willow can make that all basically untraceable." Giles defended.

"Why not just take a plane strait to Australia" Buffy replied sarcastically.

"Because that's easier to trace, and harder to cover. It's safer this way and I say the farther Dawn can get from Glory, Well Dam it the better" Giles glared down at his slayer.

"Fine Australia it is, How are we going to cough up the money for all of us though Giles, did you think of that!"

"Wes, still has connections to the watchers council, they'll give him travel funds" Giles said confidently.

"I thought the Council wasn't going to help us!" Buffy bit back again. Thinking she caught him in a lie.

"The Council Buffy. WONT!. help us. They will however help Wes"

"Oh, and why's that?"

"He's still one of them!" Giles yelled back angry.

"Fine let's go tell them" Buffy said angry and defeated stomping down the stairs.

"So Tell me Willow" Angel asked nervous "Do you really think the soul binding spell worked, I mean I know I can feel you. There's definitely a link, but do you think it worked?" Willow's eyes softened.

"Of course it did, and you'll never lose your soul unless well, Unless I loose mine" Willow said with a smile.

"That's Good Then" Angel said still unsure.

"You haven't tested it!" Willow gasped.

"Well, Willow, Not many girls willing to jump in bed with a vampire" Angel said snidely.

"I hardly believe that, and Two not what I meant. True happiness isn't always" Willow blushed "Well you know, and you haven't even bothered to let yourself be even happier then normal have you!" Willow reprimanded. Angel just looked away from her. "You haven't! Angel how could you not trust me, It's been over a year" Willow said hurt.

"I do trust you" Angel said slowly.

"Then what's the problem!" Willow asked not believing him.

"I don't trust myself." Angel said sadly. "The things Iv done I can't risk letting the demon closer to the surface and that's exactly what will happen if I let loose and live a little" Willow rolled her eyes.

"Your kidding right, your soul will still be in control, and with the whole bind-y thing, I can dominate your demon back into place if I had to" Willow said flippantly. Not realizing the reaction that Angel had to her words.

"Willow..."Angel didn't know what to say, what he wanted to say.

"Yeah" Willow asked furrowing her brows together.

And then Angel was kissing her. At first it was just a soft kiss, silk lips on cold lips. But then it was demanding and his tong was seeking entrance into her warm mouth. Willow granted him access unsure of what was going on. She tangled one hand into his soft hair and the other was clutching his back while both his hands her wrapped around her waist drawing her body closer to his. Then suddenly Willow pulled away.

"Willow, I'm...I'm sorry, I..." Willow put a finger to his lips shushing him.

"Don't, cuz I'm not" Willow said with a smile. "So much for being gay then huh" Willow stated with a small laugh and Angel just looked at her confused.

"Oh I thought I was gay for a long time, Well not really maybe Bi-sexual because I'm more attracted to the person and who they are not exactly what sex they are, and there was this girl named Tara, but Glory kinda killed her and well yeah and now there's you" Willow took a big breath "There is still a you right?" Willow asked worriedly and in response Angel gave Willow another kiss.

"Right, when you lovebirds are finished, slayer has something she fancies to say" Spike interrupted. Angel and Willow jumped up and apart. Spike just gave Red a sexy grin, and then raised his eyes at his sire knowingly. "Look's like Willow's decided she's done with manual and want's to drive stick again" Willow looked down at her shoes blushing bright red and shamed, and Angel growled low in his throat at his child.

"Australia" Everyone yelled out simultaneously, And now Spike was driving because everyone felt that he didn't need to be included. Thankfully Dawn was in the passenger seat next to him. Not wanting to be involved in the bickering.

"Are you Crazy, there's no O-Zone, I'll Burn" Cordy Whined.

"Im sure that's the last thing on Buffy's mind Cordelia" Xander glared at her.

"What about the Vampires?" Willow asked. "No O-Zone means they can't even stand in overcast" She stated.

"They can stay inside" Buffy snapped. Making Willow look away.

"Oh there's this vengeance demon Chirka I know, it would give us time to catch up" Anya said happily.

"That's nice Ahn, have I mentioned I really Love you lately?" Xander asked.

"Yes, eight times today in fact" Anya said cheerily.

"Are we sure this is going to work?" Wes asked.

"Do you have a better idea" Buffy snapped.

"I think its a great Idea, always wanted to see down under" Fred said meekly.

"If you wanted down under pet" Spike yelled back at them "You coulda' always asked me"

"Spike if you weren't driving..." Buffy threatened.

"You'd pop me good slayer, You know your attitude is starting to get on everyone's nerves" Spike shot back.

Willow said into his mind, Spike looked behind him quickly to see black eyes looking back at him, anger itched on every feature. He decided he should cool it.

"So we pack sunscreen" Angel said "Lots of it" Everyone just looked at him oddly as he tried for a joke. He just shrugged his shoulders and leaned up against a wall.

"So can you cover us" Buffy said snippily looking at the redhead.

"You bet" Willow said happily. "Do we have a laptop?"

"Next Stop kiddies, Radio Shack" Spike said happily, trying to appease the witch as well.

"What State are we in" Fred asked.

"Leaving Nevada now Sweets" Spike replied.

"Ok I need Tampons" Everyone stared at Cordelia, and the guy's coughed a bit.. "What I need Tampons, say it with me, Tamp-Ons, and there is more then one girl on this bus and I can guarantee you that were all going to need them Eventually!" Cordy pointed out.

"Ok, Tampons anything else?" Buffy asked getting annoyed with everyone.

"Some fags would be nice, if you can manage slayer" Spike said flipping his lighter in his hands.

"I didn't know you were gay Spike" Anya stated causing everyone to groan.

"Cigarettes, Ahn, fags means cigarettes" Xander supplied with a heavy sigh.

"Then why does everyone refer to gay's as fags?"

"OK, moving on" Buffy said, even she cracked a smile at Anya's persistence.

"No, I don't think its fair to consider gay people cigarettes, you can't smoke them, and I think its mean to the cigarettes because they can't sleep with the opposite sex..."

"Smokes, Tampons, Laptop, Toilet paper, Food in general...anything Im missing?" Buffy asked.

"Gum" Dawn pitched in "Lots of Gum, and a puzzle book if they have any"

"Condoms" Anya said cheerily "Lots of condoms" Everyone just shrugged, and Xander turned bright red.

"Some good novels if you will" Giles supplied.

"Cooking Supply's to, and more tea please." Fred stated.

"Eye Glass kits, cleaner as well, and a air fresher" Everyone turned there heads to look at Wesley "What?" He asked, but everyone just shook there heads and continued telling Buffy what they needed and she wrote them down on a slip of paper.

"Ok, do I have it all?" Buffy asked. Everyone nodded. "Good, I'll be back in less then an hour, everyone stay inside, don't do anything to draw attention to the bus. Xander you can come with me" Buffy and Xander headed off the bus to the Walgreens.

"How are they planning to pay for everything?" Dawn asked. Spike just laughed.

"They have Angel's gold card" Cordy supplied, causing Spike to laugh harder.

2 Hours Later

"Well Now that that is all settled, I think Im going to have to head off to bed now as should the rest of you" Giles said wiping his glasses and heading off in the direction of the cots.

"Well there's six bunks" Anya pointed out.

"Oh and one big bed in the back" Willow pitched in brightly, then focused on her shoes as everyone stared at her. And Angel looked anywhere but at the group.

"Ok then" Cordy interrupted the uncomfortable silence "I'm ganna grab one of them bunks before someone else does, I hope it's not lost on the rest of you that there are only six bunks and one big bed to sleep on and eleven of us, ten that need a bed if you count the fact that someone needs to stay up and drive"
Cordy grabbed the bottom bunk on the left, Giles had already taken the Bottom bunk on the right.

"Me and Xander can share one" Anya pitched in, and dragged her boyfriend over to one and made him give her a boost up to the second one, while he took the ladder to join her and they both pulled there curtain closed. Everyone heard the kissage.

"If I hear any more sex sounds other then that goodnight kiss Harris I personally come up there and kick your ass" Cordy yelled from her bottom bunk and everyone stifled laughs, even a supposedly sleeping Giles.

"Dawn will sleep in the big bed with me" Buffy declared in an authoritative tone that challenged anyone to challenge her.

"B-But Buffy I want to sleep in here with everyone else..." Dawn Wined.

"No" Buffy said starting to head back to the bed

"Why not, this is so like you, never thinking about what I want..." Buffy turned around sharply her expression stoney.

"This is Non-negotiable, grab your bag now, I expect you to be changed in ten minuets and in bed" Buffy took a deep breath "Do you understand" Dawn sadly nodded her head. "Good" Buffy took another deep breath and looked at all the remaining occupants of the closed space. "Nite" And she turned, opened the door and closed it without ever looking back.

"Well I'm about ready to drop dead at this wheel will someone else drive" Wes asked.

"I will" Angel offered, Seeing as his errant childe was sleeping on the third top bunk above Anya and Xander.

"Thank Goodness" Wesley said, and pulled over allowing Angel to take the wheel.

"I'm heading off to get some sleep now" Wes took a look at Fred. the last one awake besides Willow. And only two more beds left. "W-we could share, if you don't mind seeing as Miss Rosenberg needs to sleep as well..."

"No" Willow said, taking a breath "No Im fine. Really you take the bed above Giles, Wes, and Fred you can have the bed above Wes"

"But Willow, were will you sleep?" Fred asked glancing between the bunk, Wes, and Willow.

"You know I'm not really tired, I think I'll make some hot coco and go keep Angel company" Willow opened the cubbord, pulled out the mix and began boiling the water. Then she noticed Fred was still looking at her. "Really I'm fine"

"Are you sure?" Fred just wanted to be positive.

"Yeah, The magick from earlier has me on like a buzz trip, Kinda like when I drink to many espressos at one time, I won't be able to sleep for quite some time, Honest. You Fred, should get some sleep".

"Ok then" Fred nodded her head and smiled happy Willow remembered her name. "Nite Wills"

"Night Fred" Willow waited until her Coco was done then proceeded to the passenger seat next to Angel. blowing on her coco and sipping it slowly.

"So Buffy's been more cranky then usual" Willow said to cut the silence.

"Well, Yeah" Willow glanced at him eyebrows raised. "She's a warrior. She's the Slayer and running away, no matter how good the reason or from what, Is not natural for her" Angel replied.

"Well yeah, but she's been testy with everyone lately" Willow said feeling a little aggravated at Buffy's attitude.

"Everyone's been fighting her tooth and nail on all her calls, Everyone's second guessing her because they don't think she's really thinking rationally at the moment." Angel supplied giving her a quick glance.

"Well" Willow thought about it "Yeah, but still..."

"Me and Buffy may have been over for a long time, but I still know her pretty well"

"Of course, I never said you didn't, and It doesn't hurt to look at her?" Willow asked a bit of nervousness creeping in.

"Not anymore, Spike has his eye on her though" Angel mentioned.

"Well, Angel, If you haven't noticed, Spike's had his eye on everyone" Willow took another sip of her coco and pulled her knees up on the chair.

"If your cold you could use my coat, not like I honestly need it" Angel laughed.

"No it's cool...uh, you know what I mean" Willow said quietly.

"So this new girl Anya...?"

"Oh yeah, she's a 1,000 year old X vengeance demon, Anayanka" Willow said hopeful that maybe he might of heard of her.

"Didn't play much into the vengeance section of my unlife, so no I don't recall her. Is she always so crude" He asked with a question on his face.

"Yeah, you get used to it after awhile, kinda funny to"

"If you find Xander and sex in the same sentence funny"

"Well when you look at it that way" Willow took another sip "Fun pooper"

"You really should get some sleep" Angel said

"I can't" Willow whispered. "I really am wired off that spell, or spells I did on Spike earlier..."

"You did spells on Spike, earlier, were was I?" Angel sounded perplexed.

"In the bedroom, you stormed off, then Spike was really mean to Fred, and she didn't even do anything.so I busted his chops a little with some mojo jojo"
Willow said matter of factly. "Which reminds me tomorrow we need to add you, Fred, Wes and Cordy to the protection spell".

"Protection Spell?"

"Yeah it requires a little blood, but nothing to icky just a few drops but the magick has a serious kicker to it" Willow said a little to brightly.

"Well Spikes always been a pain in the ass when he's told what to do, and to add the fact that he seems to be cooped up. He tries to amuse himself. It's something he's been up to since he was turned" Angel said.

"Really?" Willow turned some more.

"Oh yeah, I remember during the boxer rebellion, when he killed his first slayer. He thought he was all bad for day's, after that we had a mob after us chasing us out of town, we stayed cooped up for days in a underground stowaway, He did the same thing he does now, Goads people, wants a good argument or fist fight...and Iv said to much sorry" Angel started to brood.

"No" Willow said a little to loudly. she looked behind her to make sure that no one woke up "No I'm interested in your past, your history. I mean the things you must have seen, the places you visited, the people you meet" She said excitedly.

"The people I killed, Tortured, Raped..." Angel started bitterly

"Ok Fine, Not exactly glory days and whatnot, but your not that person anymore Angel, that was pure demon, this is you version 3.0. No demon to come back again"

"3.0?"

"2.0 was when you could loose your soul with the moment of pure happiness thing" Angel nodded his head.

"Wouldn't that make it 3.0, and me 4.0 now?" Willow cocked her head to the side thinking about it. Angel turned a smile to her "I was human once, so that would be version 1.0" He said a little lighter.

"Yeah I guess your right" Willow shot him back a smile.

Tell me what you think so far...purty please
