Chapter 1

The Sunnydale school bus made its way down the road. Raindrops exploded on the windows, flashes of white appeared everywhere, the rough road made it hard for everyone on the bus to keep still.

"Exactly how far is the next town?" Buffy asked. They'd been traveling the freeway for some time after their visit to the hospital.

Giles looked at her, "Not sure, but I'm sure it can't be that far. It would've been helpful to have a GPS."

Buffy's eyes widened, "You don't know where we are?"

Giles looked defensive, "I didn't say that. I just think it would be faster if we had one. It may show us shortcuts."

"Because you don't know where we are." Dawn said.

Giles shook his head, annoyed.

Willow looked at him sympathetically, "I'm sure Giles knows what he's doing. I have confidence in you, Giles."

"Thank you, Willow" Giles had a smile on his face.

Willow turned to Kennedy, pursed her lips and shook her head so lightly that it was almost unnoticeable. Kennedy tried hard not to laugh.

Dawn kept her eyes on the side of her window, watching blurred trees whiz by. She notices a sign and reads, "Women's Correctional Facility 2 miles". About 50 ft later, she sees another sign. It was a "no hitch kicking symbol. She nudged Willow for her to look. Willow couldn't help but smile.

After about half an hour another sign was standing on the side of the road.

"We're in Modesto, now. I've never heard of it." Faith said.

"Maybe it's a small town." Kennedy said.

"As long as it has a hotel, I'm fine with it." Buffy replies.

"You haven't seen the movie, 'Vacancy' yet." Dawn replies.

Buffy turns to Dawn, "It'll be fine. Let's try it, Giles."

Giles pulls in to the next exit.

"There's one!" Giles says.

Buffy looks around, "Where?" she asks.

"The one with the neon lights that says 'Hotel'." Faith replies.

Giles pulls into the parking lot and turns off the ignition. "I'll see if they have rooms".

Buffy gets up, "I'll go with you."

Not long after, they return.

"Ok, we have just enough. So, grab a card and meet up here tomorrow at 8:00."

The bus is filled with groans. Buffy looks at all their disgusted faces. "Ok…9:30?"

Everyone looks at each other and shrugs. They all file out grabbing a key on their way out.

Willow grabs the card and looks at Buffy, "9:30? Really, Buff?"

Buffy smiles at her, "Would you like me to make an announcement to make it later for you and Kennedy's behalf?"

Willow's face turned bright red. "I wasn't suggesting- I mean- I just thought that slayers needed more sleep."

Buffy laughed, "Will, I'm teasing."

"Willow knows all about teasing." Kennedy grins.

Willow turns to her, "Kennedy!"

Dawn steps up to Buffy, "So do you have any idea where we're heading now?"
