On The Runway
The next morning came way too quickly, or so it seemed to Buffy. It was like the moment her head hit the pillow, 3 seconds later the alarm was blaring in her ear and she was sat, bolt upright and looking around. After showering and putting on some clothes, Buffy sat on her bed, her flight bags beside her, Her mind wandered back to he last dealings with the Watches council, in LA, Atop a building, Angel in front of her, Faith Behind. And some lunatic watcher with a Minigun swinging overhead in a helicopter.
A lot had happened that night, Angel had been arrested, Faith turned herself in, and Angel…she could still feel it.. stood there in the police station.. he lashed out at her. Verbally. She could still her his silk smooth voice. She could still see those dark eyes burrowing into her.
“That's great. It's nice. You moved on. I can't. You found someone new. I'm not allowed to, remember? I see you again, it cuts me up inside. And the person I share that with is me. You don't know me anymore, so don't come down here with your great new life and expect me to do things your way. Go home.”
He’d all but tossed her out. Thing was he was right. She hated admitting it. But he was right. Yes he’d come and apologized. But he’d been right she’d gone in there, stakes ‘ablazin and he’d smacked her down. She was so obsessed with Faith. Even to this day Buffy still didn’t know what it was about Faith that managed to rub her the wrong way. Apart form the whole Killing people-poisoning angel-aiding the ascension thing. Of course. Shrugging of the shadows of the past. She stood up, grabbed her bags and after shouting a goodbye to her mom, headed for the Magic Box.
The Taxi was there when she arrived and Giles was stood outside. Chatting with the driver. Show after a nod form the Englishman popped the trunk. Giles approached
“Just put your things in here Buffy, the others are waiting inside.”
“Waiting, I’m here now.. lets just go.”
“Xander isn’t here yet.”
“That is an ixnay-on the o-gay alright. I specifically told him to be here.”
“ah yes but you forget Sunnydale Is in the ALH Time zone.”
“huh?”
“Alexander Lavelle Harris.”
“Oh.. right I see what you did there you..” Buffy caught the look from Giles. “I’ll be waiting inside.”

Xander was on his way, Though he’d become somewhat side tracked.
“There you go. You’re spare tire is in place and ready to roll” Xander said standing up and dusting off his hands…
“Why thank you Mr Harris” said the orange haired woman. I was so afraid I was going to miss my meeting in town.” Her smile was amazing, Xander had noted. He watched her full lips part and her tongue run over them to whet them. “How can I ever repay you?” she said brushing her hands over her freckled flecked cheeks.
“No need.” He laughed then the smile fell from his face as he saw the time.”Crap!”
“Are you okay?” the sultry lady asked
“No I was supposed to be meeting my friend as half an hour ago. About repaying me.. how a bout a lift into town?”
“Of course, the least I could do for my Knight in shining armor.” The ladies hand rested on Xander’s arm, and Xander could have sworn that rather than lifting it off she stroked his shirt to test at his muscles. And he wasn’t complaining, this woman was beautiful. Her lips, her eyes, her body.. she was amazing…he could only imagine just what she would be like, what it would feel like to have her thighs wrapped around him as… when he woke form his day dream he saw she was already at the drivers door he yanked open the boot and dropped his case in the back and he slid into the passenger seat. He was busy putting on her sunglasses as she reached for the handbrake, and her hand brushed his thigh.. Again this little contact had Xander wondering just what it would be like to kiss those full rosy red lips as they parted to allow that perfectly pink tongue…
“Where to.” Asked the redhead’s smoky voice.
“fhqwhgads?” Xander exclaimed as he was drawn out of his day dream again.
“Where do you want to go?” the smooth tones asked again.
“The Magic Box” as the lady pulled off Xander started to give her directions.
~*~
“Morning Ladi…” Buffy started to say as she walked through the magic Box Door. Into the scene of Willow softly pressing her lips to Taras.
“Don’t mind me...” she continued with a little laugh
“Oh, hey morning Buffy.. sleep well?” Willow asked blushing a little and sitting down at the table.
“Not really, I think that Lizard thing cracked one of my ribs. Plus I had to deal with te weird out from spike.”
“Spike, why?” Asked Tara, Taking willow’s hand beneath that table.
“Turns out they were his friends.” Both Willow and Tara were unable to suppress the giggles. ”And that they owed him money.” That brought full on laughs form the lovers across the table from her. “So anyone tried calling Xander?”
“Yup, No answer, Which knowing Anya means only one thing.” Willow nodded
“Goodbye sex?”
“Goodbye sex.” Tara nodded.
“And that is most defiantly on the “Never mention again” list” Buffy laughed. Tara however was looking around the room smiling and taking things in. enjoying, as she often did the morning. Especially after last nights weirdness. At least after willow had come home they’d gone back to bed and everything had been fine.

The ladies car pulled up outside the magic box and Xander climbed out.
“Thanks for the Lift.”
“Not a problem…” The red haired lady began.
“Xander Where have you been?” Giles called out.
“I’m sorry for keeping him.” The lady spoke before Xander had a chance. “I had a flat on the way into town and Xander here helped me change it.”
“Giles this is…” Xander started to introduce the 2 but realized he didn’t know the ladies name.
“Colista Dea” she held out her hand to Giles.. who took it and shook she carried on “Again I’m sorry about holding Xander up. Are you going somewhere?” she asked seeing Xander putting his cases in the taxi.
“Y..Yes.. England.” Giles said releasing the ladies hand “Colista Dea. That’s Greek, Isn’t it?”
“Why yes Mr Giles. My family are greek it mean..”
“Most beautiful Goddess.” Giles laughed studying her face, the name certainly fit that is for sure. “Your family must have had an interesting sense of humor to couple that name with your surname.”
“Father did have quite the interesting way… that is for sure. Once again, I am sorry for keeping Xander. He was most helpful. And I have to get going or I’ll Miss my meeting. Good Bye Xander.”
“Goodbye” Xander smiled as he bust into the Magic box exclaiming
“Ladies we are OUTTA HERE!”
“Goodbye Mr Giles, It was nice meeting you.”
“Yes.. and you Ms Dea.” Giles watched as she climb back in her car and pulled off. He did not, however, see the bread grin that she wore, as she turned the corner, she looked in a mirror.
“I don’t think Freckles are my style.” And with a thought, she was a blonde again.
~*~
The 4 friends piled out of the Cab together outside the airport and while Giles paid and obtained a receipt, they started to pull their things out of the trunk.
“I see Crème and Flowery.” Xander said as he pulled the first case out.
“Oh that’s mine and Willows. “ Tara smiled and took one bag,Willow took the other.
“Matched Luggage?” Xander teased.
“Actually it’s one set, I borrowed some of Tara’s, I set mine on fire last week trying a Locator spell.” Willow blushed.
“That’s my little pyromaniac.” Xander laughed. “okay I hace leather knapsack and matching carry on.”
“That’s all me. Leather Girl.” Buffy joked as she took her things.
“And the Navy blue is me. Leaving the red Samsonite to be..”
“Me.” Giles Said smiling as he appeared putting his wallet away. He looked about.
“Okay let see your passports.” Each of them got the documents out and pe passed them all tickets. “Okay.. Lets get on a plane.” They all entered the Terminal, tough tara lagged behind somewhat.. almost nervous.
“Are you okay baby?” Willow asked her
“Is this the point where I reveal mush to everyone’s amusement I am scared to fly?”
“Oh baby, no.. no planes are safe statistically…”
“No Willow, you don’t; understand, Any other time I’d be fine… It’s just in that dream, last night.. I..”
“You what baby…”
“N..Nothing.. It’s Just a dream, right?”
“Of course baby.. just a dream.. Just a dream.” Willow said re assuring Herslef just as much as Tara.
Once they had checked the tickets and passed though the customs and Metal detectors, they walked through the airport to their gate and waited. Xander was reading some comic books, and Giles one of his large books.
“What did you see in the dream last night baby…”
“It’s nothing Willow, Honestly, I promise.”
“Are you sure.. cause you’re looking awfully white knuckled.”
“I’m sure baby” Tara kissed her girl friend stofly, show seemed more spooked by this dream that she was. ‘Just relax okay.”
“AMERICAN AIRLINES FLIGHT 619 TO England boarding at gate 15 now.” Came the announcement. The 5 travellers collected their carry on luggage and boarded the plane.
