Author's Notes: I spent 3 hrs studying the USA map. u americans must have a lot of difficulties studying geography (lol). Plz feed me back.
"Ok guys, we all know our duties here? Xander?" he looked at Faith with confusion
"What? Oh! Yes, I will set an alarm on the side far away from Adams cell" he said full of enthusiasm "That's good at that point, me and Riley will go and finish him" Faith said looking at Riley and he nodded to her with approval.
"Will, did you find anything yet?" Willow was searching if she could hack on the initiative computer system to lock the Adam cell after Faith and Riley go there.
"Buffy, are you sure this plan will work?" Giles asked sipping his tea "I think it's risky but this is the only way we could beat him, if the soldiers found us we will never get out from there" She looked at the scoopy "What do you think guys; if you have any other idea we can work it out"
"I think it's a great idea, it's like you said, the only way to beat him" Riley said smiling at her "Yea Buffstar, its great beside you already figure out how to defeat the beast" Xander wink at her.
"YES, I'm brilliant guys, I'm genius, and I'm the queen of..." Faith cut Willow from babbling "Ok Will, we all know that, did you do it" she said standing beside her looking in her laptop "Yep, I did it" Faith high five her and Willow smiled at her "You're the best Will, the best friend ever" Willow put her hand around her waist "Yes that's me the best friend ever" They all laughed "Ok, so every thing is setup, Xander and Riley we will meet at twelve sharp. We have Tara's spell for Xander, Willow and Giles will save our backs from here, all set" Faith said with excitement "All set" they all answered with smiles and they start saying there goodbyes.
"Buffy..." Giles put his hands on her shoulders and she turn to face him "I'm proud of you, what your doing take a lot of courage to be done" he give her his parental smile.
"Thanks Giles, I would never let any one of you got hurt" she smiled at him and left.
She wasn't sure what she's feeling now. She was sad for what she did to Buffy, she was proud of herself for being the slayer and she was happy for having all those people around her. She was never surrounded by all this love. Of course she was scared for taking this responsibility but she was happy. She felt safe even when she's facing death like today.
She couldn't imagine that good people really exist; especially men but Xander and Riley prove that she was wrong. The way Xander looks at her with love and care like a brother with his special sister. Doing everything he can to make her feel happy, he even makes a fool of himself just to make her laugh. And Riley, that's a whole different story, she broke up with him and yet he's helping her, taking care of her and not once he hurt her feelings by any word.
Every day she knew more that she was right when she felt jealous of what Buffy had. She didn't want to be Buffy but she wanted what Buffy had. Being in her body give Faith the freedom to do what she couldn't do in her body. She could show her emotions, cuz Buffy is allowed to cry in front of every one; she could hug and be hugged by people cuz this is a Buffy thing. She said the word I love you more than once for Buffy's mom, Willow and Xander, but the thing she want the most, is to be able to do those things with her own body not as Buffy, but this will never happen again.

At Boston, Buffy and Jason were planning how they can arrive LA without problems. Jason suggested that they don't tell Carol and JD not because he don't trust him but the fewer they know the less problems they will face. He already put the plan, he has to drive his company truck all the way to New York but he switched with another driver going to Oregon, which is the nearest delivery to LA. Since this journey will take more than thirty four hours, assuming that he don't stop, they will take at least more than four days to discover that the delivery didn't arrive and another two or three days to start the search, and that's more than they need to be in LA.
The problem was how to get Buffy out of this neighborhood without any one noticing her. The only solution Jason find is to make a fight with JD and take all his stuff as if he's moving out and Buffy could hide on the cupboard or any of his big boxes. Jason also was planning to take Danny with him, cuz he feel that he will be safer with them.
Buffy was awed by Jason's attitude; he must really be in love with Faith, but Buffy felt that there is more. The look on his eyes says that there is more, it also says that he's sorry for what ever he did, and Buffy had the feeling that this was the only man Faith's truly loved. Carol told her that he did a great damage in Faith's heart and that he was the main reason for her to start the get some get gone strategy.
Buffy never thought that life could be so complicated, she was living in chaos, nothing is defined, no boundaries at all. You can't say this is yours and this mine, you can't tell some one to not cross the line. There are no lines here. Every one is fighting with the other, trying to get anything he can.
She missed her mom and she knows appreciate her more, Joyce did a great job to support her and give her more than her needs. She gave her a great house, college fund, love and above that all she never complained and never make her worry about anything. This will be the first thing she will change; she must give her mom more credit than she shows.
In the mean time, Jason was getting ready for his big fight and his big plan tonight.
