Disclaimer: Ok, now if you haven't read my edited version of the chapter before you really should. I've done a few twists to make sure everything made sense. This chapter is dedicated to AlwaysgonnabeDoylesgirl for making me want to continue the story.

"Thank god," Ben mumbled under his breath when Johnny parked the car. He was glad to finally be out of the small space. Sports car designers really didn't think about their larger customers. He looked at Reed who was equally relieved. Johnny bounced out of the car with a large smile on his face as if the fun were just beginning. Ben really didn't like that smile.

"Why so happy?" he asked suspiciously. Johnny tapped his nose and continued to smile. Ben shuddered; he hated to think what the teenager had up his sleeve.

"Hi guys," Sue greeted as she approached. "Have a nice drive?" she asked mockingly.

"It was just great." Reed muttered.

"Come on, it can't have been that bad," she said. Reed and Ben turned to stare at her.

"I am right here you know," Johnny reminded his crew feeling rather insulted.

"Oh don't worry. We won't ever forget." Ben mumbled.

"C'mon. Why is everyone in such a bad mood?" Sue asked. "Don't you guys want to come down to Sunnydale?" she added worriedly.

"No no we're fine," Ben and Reed said simultaneously. Sue didn't look convinced but left it alone. After all they had volunteered to come.

"Come on guys," Johnny said impatiently. "We kinda have a flight to catch," he reminded them. Everyone jumped and immediately started to take the suitcases from the trunk of Johnny's car and headed into the building.

"Why is it that I hate airports?" Ben grumbled to no one in particular as the four entered the main building.

"They're chaotic and make you claustrophobic," Reed replied.

"No way! You're claustro-what ever?" Johnny asked with a smirk.

"Claustrophobic," Reed corrected.

"Yeah, that's what I said," Johnny replied.

"Yeah. But only sometimes," Ben admitted. Johnny laughed.

"For the second time in my life I actually feel sorry for you. Everything is like ten times smaller for you now," Ben glared at Johnny.

"There was a first time?" he asked in disbelief when he realised what he said.

"Yeah, when Debbie dumped you in front of all those people. That was harsh dude,"

"Thanks for reminding me," Ben replied sarcastically.

"Not a problem," Johnny replied happily.

"Ok where do we check in?" Sue asked. Reed looked at one of the large television screens for a few moments.

"Checkpoint K," he replied.

"Ok then guys lets go." Sue commanded.

The four walked over to checkpoint K trying to act perfectly normal and avoid the stares from arriving tourists. The queue for the flight was not surprisingly very short. In fact there was only one person in front of them.

"Wow, Sunnydale really is a hotspot," Ben muttered.

"Believe it or not this flight takes us to some random town nearby. Sunnydale isn't big enough to have an airport." Ben raised an eyebrow.

"Busy place."

OVER IN SUNNYDALE

"Ms Summers?" Buffy looked up from her work to see the school secretary standing at the door of the classroom.

"Yeah?" she replied politely.

"Principle Snyder would like to see you in his office right away." The secretary continued. Buffy rolled her eyes, what now?

"Good luck," Jonathan her lab partner said. Buffy nodded grateful and crossed her fingers.

Buffy walked down the empty hallway quickly. What does he want now? I haven't actually done anything…have I? Actually I haven't, I wasn't even in school yesterday. Maybe that's why…

Buffy's thoughts came to a halt once she reached the principle's office. She took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

"Come in," she heard the principle reply. Buffy opened the door and was surprised to see Willow, Xander and Oz sitting down. Willow looked really upset and Xander looked nervous. Oz was holding Willow's hand under the desk and even he looked slightly nervous. That was normally a bad sign; Oz never had any kind of readable facial expression.

"You wanted to see me sir?" Buffy asked.

"Yes. Sit down." It was more of a command than an invitation. "Now I was just telling your friends here about a little problem I have in the cupboard of room 101." Snyder reached over to take a sip of coffee; he didn't take his eyes off Buffy.

"It appears we've had a break in."

"So why are we here?" Buffy cut in. Why was she being questioned about a break in?

"Because we have your face all over the CCTV footage." Buffy froze. Why would she be on CCTV, Giles said he had wiped out all the demons and other traces of her late night work.

"Maybe you would like to see for yourself." Snyder said with a smirk. He looked at Xander who immediately stood up and walked over to the ancient TV on top of the filing cabinet. He switched it on and put in a tape. Buffy was shocked.

Sure enough the whole Scooby gang were running through the English corridor towards the library.

"Quick he's coming," the TV Buffy said to her companions.

"The door's jammed." TV Xander said worriedly. The TV Buffy kicked the door down without a second's pause and the tape ended.

Buffy looked at her friends. Willow was close to tears, Xander and Oz looked extremely anxious. "Now we know why there is so much damage to school property." Snyder said with a smirk.

"We were being chased!" Buffy blurted out.

"Yes I know. Our good friend Robert was chasing you." Buffy put her head in her hands. Of course they would think it was the school security guard. Buffy couldn't tell the principle they were being chased by another seemingly immortal vampire because like all vampires he couldn't be caught on camera or any kind of photograph.

"Now I will be calling your parents about this and I think expulsion may be a good punishment, but for the mean time you could sort out the mess you made in Room 101. You may leave."

Buffy wanted to punch the man so badly but knew she couldn't. Anyway she had more important things to worry about like how she was going to get her friends out of this. The second they were out the room Willow burst into tears. Oz pulled her into a hug and tried to comfort her. Xander slumped down on the floor with his back against the wall. Buffy hated risking her friend's life every week but ruining their school record was something she never planned on happening. Every day she tried to prepare herself for the fact that she might never see one of her friends again or that they might never see her. It was a heart breaking thought but if it ever happened she needed to be strong. She had never dreamed of blemishing Willow's unblemished record, getting Xander into more arguments with his parents or making Oz repeat senior year again.
