"Dear Lord," Giles said taking off his glasses and sinking to the couch. Buffy and Spike had just returned from Jean Luc's and finished explaining what they had learned.
"Giles it's not like we have a choice," Buffy started, "I wont let Errinn stay in that hell." She shuttered at the thought.
Spike put a comforting arm around Buffy's shoulder. "Now Red, we need you to magics a way up to get us where we're going and how to get back." After Willow got up and walked back to the research, Spike turned to Dawn, Ziva and Devon. " Now Nibblet, you need to keep your eye on the 'bits, and for the love of God, don't help them follow later." Dawn blushed slightly. "Ziva. Devon. You two need to behave and listen to Dawn. Mummy and I don't want anything to happen to you as well."
Ziva and Devon pouted. "But Daddy we want to help."
"No. We…."
"I found it!" Willow yelled from the dinning room. Everyone gathered around her. "We can call a guide to take you through the underworld."
"A guide?" Buffy asked.
" Well it sounds reasonable. Dante had a guide on his journey through the nine levels of hell," Giles replied thoughtfully.
"Nine?" Buffy gulped.
Ignoring Buffy, Willow continued, "It's really a simple spell. All we have to do is recite it over the mouth of hell."
"You know, when most people graduate they put high school behind them. Us, we just can't seem to let it go," Xander said as everyone glared at him. "What?"

"Ready?" Willow asked, receiving a nod from Buffy and Spike. "Come before us, oh guide to the darkest dimension. Come lead these great heroes into the bowels of evil. Come to ensure their journey is complete. Come!"
POOF
"Kuh, Kuh, Kuh. I hate all that damn residual dust," the mystical being with wings said. Turning around, she noticed a group of people staring, opened mouthed, at her. Brushing the rest of the dust off her skirt, the guide began, "Hello. My name is Amanda the Wonderful, and I will be your guide to the depths of hell. I will be here to give you advice while you fight battles and lead you through each of the eight gates you will encounter, not hold your hand the entire journey. Will the two heroes please step forward?". Buffy and Spike did as they were told, and a rollercoaster type contraption surrounded them. "Please remember to keep your hands and arms inside the vehicle at all times. Also remember that the Powers that Be are not responsible for any deaths or injuries that occur on this trip, and that you travel this journey of your own free wills." With that, the coaster started moving towards the hole in the old floor. "Hold on tight," was the last thing Amanda said before the ride nosedived into the hellmouth.
