Go West Young Slayer: Setting Up
by Wonkabar
CALIFORNIA - 1873

Xander steeps out of Giles's shop. He had made a list of everything he is supposed to do. First on his list was to get a hotel room. Giles was very helpful and he suggested the hotel up on Main Street. He walked up to the hotel door and noticed the sign, "Anya's Bed and Breakfast". He goes through the door, and is in awe. Behind the counter is one of the most beautiful women he has ever seen.

WOMAN-
"Yes, come here. You want a room."

XANDER-
"Are you questioning me if I want a room?"

WOMAN-
"No...I'm telling you. Why else would you be here. I'm Anya Jenkins, the owner. And what name should I put the room under?"

XANDER-
"Harris. Xander Harris."

ANYA-
"Okay, it's $3 a night for the room. For an additional dime, I can have my minion do your laundry." A teenage girl walks out from behind the back.

GIRL-
"I'm not your minion, my sister told you not to call me that...." The girl lays eyes on Xander and she goes speechless. "My name is Dawn."

XANDER-
"Xander."

DAWN-
"Xander, hmm."

ANYA-
"Dawn, go to MR. HARRIS's horse and get his bags." Dawn leaves the hotel. "Sorry, she thinks she's a big shot, her big sister being the town marshall and all."

XANDER-
"Yes, that's who I was going to see next."

ANYA-
"Well, don't waste your time. She won't be marshall for too much longer. The Mayor and the local preacher have been trying to get rid of her for a while."

XANDER-
"Why doesn't the Mayor just fire her?"

ANYA-
"The marshalls in this town are elected, and it takes another election to fire one. But, she keeps the town safe. Here's your key, room 317."
