Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 8
Welcome to Oz part 2
PREVIOUSLY ON BUFFY
-Buffy was became unconsciense because of a fire and was found by Willow. However, when Willow got off the bus to see if Buffy was okay, Giles drove off with everyone else on the bus asleep.
-all the potentials are dead from stavation.
-Willow was kidnapped by a vampire and taken to an old, abandoned hotel in the desert.
-Buffy later egained conscienseness, and faintly remembered someone who sounded like Willow screaming for help.
-Giles went crazy, telling the gang that they were all going to die, except Dawn, who would become his bride.
-Willow did a spell that transported Buffy to where she was.
-Dawn, Faith, Andrew, and Xander were in danger because Giles went crazy.
"Willow, how.. what.. where am I?"
"Oh. I did a spell. I made you come here. I'm in a bit of a pickle."
"I can see that. Where are we?"
"Old hotel, I'd say it dates back about 50 years. So, well, actually not too old. But, the vampire who kidnapped me will be
back any minute now, so be armed."
"Yeah." Buffy broke the end of of a chair. "Did this vamp seem healthy?"
"Perfectly. I was thinking about that. That there must be humans around here somewhere that this nest could feed off of."
"You think it's a nest?"
"I assumed."
"Oh." Buffy turned around, her slayer instincts kicking in. A gang of Vampires stood before her. "I guess you were right.
Hey, you wanna grab a stake?"
"I think that might be smart." Willow and Buffy fought to the death, of course not their own, though. "They are adios
amigos!"
"They are gone friends?"
"Fine. Adios comma amigos."
"Very impressive."
"Thank you."
"Hey, you want to get out of here?"
"I think that would be a good idea."
"I SINCERELY HOPE NO ONE WAS SPEAKING BACK THERE!"
"No," Dawn said back, "no one's talking back here, Love." She grimmaced like saying that killed her. Whispering, she
said, "Andrew, come on, we have to get to Faith and Xander. I think they might know something."
"What, they know something and didn't tell us?"
"Just get over there!" The two waited until just the right moment and snuck over to find out the juicy details. "Whaddayou
got for us?"
"Well, look, see how some of the gravel is flying into the bus? Doesn't it look like someone just put it down? Usually, old
gravel looks all worn and scratched up, but this is totally clean and shiny."
"So you think we are near..."
"People."
"People."
Willow and Buffy stepped out through the busted door. "Man, that vamp was sure in a hurry to get back to his guys. Do
you think there was something going on that we should find out about, Will?"
"Well, I don't know. Maybe they found out about the bus, maybe they've got more out there! What if they found Xander?"
"And Faith, Dawn, Andrew, and Giles?"
"Yes. Them, too."
"That was total wierdness."
"Buffy, I gotta tell you something."
"Ooh! I gotta tell you something, too!"
"No, see, this is wierd and important."
"But mine is wierd and important."
"Buffy, if you let me go first, I'll let you go first whenever you want in the future."
"You, you drive a hard bargain. I'll take it."
"Buffy, this is really hard to tell you, because I invaded your privacy. And Xander's."
"What, it isn't like you tried to read my mind."
"Buff, I did. I read your dreams."
"What?"
"I was planning to do a spell to get us somewhere. But, I didn't want to take us anywhere you didn't want to go, see, so I
read your dreams to see if you could drop any hints. But, I didn't exactly find what I needed to know. From you or Xander."
"So I got my privacy invaded for nothing? And Xander, too? What kind of friend are you?"
"Buff, I'm sorry! I just wanted to help. I took a big risk doing that so I could see what you wanted."
"You know, you're right. I'm sorry, I... you were just trying to be nice, and I shouldn't shoot off at you like that. It's just,
we're in such a bad place right now, and the stress, and trying to keep Dawn, let alone everyone else alive."
"Buffy, it's okay. I totally understand."
"So, what do you suggest we do? Jump out of the bus?"
"No, Andrew. Right?"
"No, Xander. Right, Faith, tell him, we aren't jumping out of the bus, are we?"
"You guys, you don't have to think like that all the time."
"So what do you propose?"
"Well, Dawn, you're key chick, here. Just go up to G-man and talk him into stopping the bus for some insane reason.
Then, I'll make my move. I'll move up quickly, and then I'll knock him out. We'll take.. I don't know, our socks, and me and
Xander will hold him back for when he wakes up. Andrew, Dawn, I hope you can drive a bus."
"Okay, I got all this so far, except where I have to go up to Giles and tell him to stop the bus."
"Because, he's trying to make you his bride."
"So you want me to do this now?"
"No, you two go back to where you were. I'll wait a while, then I'll... cough, you wait five seconds, then go up there."
"Wow," started Xander, "I love your well thought out plan, Faith."
"Yeah, whatever. Go, go go!"
Dawn and Andrew snuck back to their spots and waited for the cough. Faith had waited so long, however, to make the
cough, Dawn wasn't expecting it when it happened. "Goodness, Faith. I think you might be coming down with something!"
she said, and turned back to her idle sitting. "Oh shit!" she said to herself. She counted. "3.2.1." She got up and walked as
sexily as she could to the front of the bus. "Hey, Love. What do you say you stop the bus for your Pet?"
"What do you want?" He wasn't buying it yet.
"I want you to listen to my idea." She threw up a little bit in her mouth.
"Very well." Giles stopped the bus and began to pull Dawn toward him. Faith made her move, just before Dawn had to
buy into her role in the plot. Giles fell to the floor, a tiny scratch on his head.
"Okay, pull him back! Come on! You guys! Get to the driving! Now! Hurry! There's no telling how long he'll be out!"
"Buffy, I think we should really get to the others now, I mean, if we think there's other vampires out there."
"Yeah. So, um, what did you read in Xander's mind that made you go sideys about him?"
"Well, if.. when we find him, don't tell him anything about it, okay?"
"Yeah, sure, an order of details, please. Supersize it."
"Well, remember back in high school when I told you that Xander and I went out when we were five?"
"GET OUT! That's what he had a dream about? Oh my God!"
"Yeah, but, I didn't go into detail, yet. Okay, so we were going to play house in this big field, and I was running ahead
of him, and he got mad, so he ran into my room, and got my favorite Barbie. I told him that I'd cry if he didn't give it back.
He said crying was for babies, then he ripped the head off."
"My goodness! Someone wants a piece of the Willow cake!"
"Yeah, but, the only time he had been attracted to me was when Oz and I were together when we were seniors. If you
don't remember the little incident."
"Well, the memory could mean that he's feeling guilt toward you. Maybe he did something to you to make him feel bad."
"Someone paid attention in Psych."
"Ah-thank you. Somebody's taken recignition."
"So, how was the trip over?"
"Well, it was scary, dark, wet, did I say scary? And... a little sensational."
"Good. That's how it's supposed to be."
"Will, I was talking to Giles this morning, and I thought maybe it was a good idea to use a locater spell, but Giles said I
shouldn't say anything to you."
"Buffy, don't you thnk I've thought about it? I even approached him to tell him I wanted to do it."
"When was this, why didn't you say anything?"
"It was a few days ago, and he told me not to say anything."
"Oh, well, oh well."
Giles awoke from his unconscienseness to see two blurry figures holding him down. The bus was being driben more
crazily than before, now that it was in the hands of a teenager and an ex-villain. "You guys! He's awake! You're going to
have to drive faster if we're going to get anywhere fast enough!"
"Faith, I would shut my mouth if I were you because I don't think you've ever driven a bus before."
"You got that right, Princess, and I don't want to. I never wil, no one can make me. But, I really don't think you want to
be back here holding the psycho down, am I right?"
"Faith, he's moving, he's trying to get up. I don't like your plan anymore."
"Xander, I realize I've made a huge mistake. I was filled in about the whole Glory situation. Dawn seems like a pretty
tough girl. Maybe she'd like to hold him down."
"I just told you no!"
"Don't yell at me, Princess."
The gang followed the gravel path for what felt like days, but was only for hours. They drove and drove and drove and
drvoe. Dawn had a field day running over different kinds of exotic demons. Finally, they came to a large sign. Faith stepped
out of the bus and over a dead demon to read the sign. "Welcome to Baja. Stay a while!" She stepped back over the demon
and into the bus to tell the gang where they were. "We're in a little place I like to call Baja. People come from all over to race
there dunebuggies here. It looks like a nice quiet community, we could probably stay a while till we find our missing gals."
"That sounds nice. Do we have any money?" asked Andrew.
"Maube we should do a round of pocket emptying?"
"Sounds cool." Everyone emptied their pockets to reveal a Three Musketeers bar, 19 dollars, a bandana, and some
butterfly bandages.
"Well, this can get us the honeymoon suita at Hillbilly in, but I don't think there's one of those around here."
"That's funny, Faith, maybe you could be a stand up comedian."
"Hey, atleast it would get me out of here."
"Witty."
The girls walked as far as they could without collapsing, and then they literally collpased. "Willow, how come everything
bad happens to me? And you?"
"Wouldn't it suck if they had gotten to town on the bus, and we were stranded here? They are probably living it up!
They... are in a club in L. A.! Maybe Dawn is saying hi to your dad right now! And Andrew and Faith are at the bar, and
Xander's walking around, looking for a job."
"I'm thinking we keep walking."
"Yeah me too." The gals got up, dusted the sand off their butts, and continued walking.
"So, you think that in our paradise, when we get there, there's gonna be chocolate? Lots of it?"
"Well, yeah, what paradise doesn't have chocolate? And, the'rs going to definately be.... tropical drinks."
"Someone's taking a walk on the wildside!"
"Hey, hey, look! A sign! Let's see what it says, come on!" The girls ran as fast as they could to the dark green sign that
read: Welcome to Baja.
"What is Baja?" said Buffy, pronouncing it like a j not an h.
"Well, Baja," starting off by correcting Buffy, "is a town famous for get this: its sand. People you wouldn't believe from
places you wouldn't believe come here just to race there dunebuggies! Can you believe that?"
"I wonder if it's got good pie..."
"Buffy, we don't have any money, but, we do have.... OH MY GOD! We have a bus! Buffy! The bus, its here, they must
have found the own, they're here come on!"
"Wait, Willow, I think I see them... who's that they're talking to?"
"Well, short, male, spiky hair."
"I don't currently recall anyone who fits that description."
"Yeah, me either."
"Come on. Hey, it's always fun to yell at people from a far distance, you want to?"
"Yeah, sure. HEY! FAITH, XANDER, ANDREW, AND DAWN! WE FOUND YOU! WE'RE BACK! WHERE'S GILES?"
"What? Giles isn't with them?"
"No, but he's been acting crazy. Right after you started screaming for help, he said he didn't want to help you, that I
could do it myself."
"Yeah..." The duo ran to catch up to the others, eager to find out who they were talking to. They stopped dead in their
tracks.
Everuthing was silent for what felt like hours. Xander broke the silence. "Guess who we ran into?"
Before them all stood Oz. "Hey, I thought I'd find you here."
